*Lead Casing is an expensive investment that becomes useless if the opponent has a Bloon remover (e.g. [[Return to Sender]], [[Extreme Heat]], and [[Bloon Master Alchemist (BCS)|Bloon Master Alchemist]]) or [[Armor Piercing]]. If they don't, you can force the opponent to give in to the Bloon.
*The main use of Lead Casing is stacking Armor on existing Bloons for an expensive cost. However, every other Armor-building card is simply more dependable, even though the alternatives are more effective with groups of Bloons instead of a single Bloon.
**Lead Casing is a bad choice against human opponents. Most competent opponents would have at least some of those cards, or deal high damage via things like [[Sniper Monkey (BCS)|Sniper Monkey]] or [[Long Range Rang]] before enough Armor is stacked to make it non-poppable.
*The strength of this card mostly depends if the opponent lacks anything to pop down the target before enough Armor gets stacked. This card is very easy to brick the hand for the investment required, being unviable in Aggro, and is hard-countered by [[Armor Piercing]] and Bloon removers (e.g. [[Return to Sender]], [[Extreme Heat]], and [[Bloon Master Alchemist (BCS)|Bloon Master Alchemist]]).
*[[Mass Lead Production]] can give all of your Bloons 15 Armor for half the cost, making it almost always a better choice in any deck that you'd run Lead Casing in. Likewise, [[Lead Coating Bloon]] for 1 less Gold can pile up Armor gradually but give Bloontonium too.
*Most human players avoid Lead Casing. Not only are there a wide variety of hard counters to it, any competent Tempo deck has so many methods of dealing high damage (e.g. [[Sniper Monkey (BCS)|Sniper Monkey]], [[Super Monkey Storm (BCS)|Super Monkey Storm]]) that exceeds the amount of Armor that Lead Casing can provide.
*This card's cost and two charges makes it very easy to brick with.

  • The main use of Lead Casing is stacking Armor on existing Bloons for an expensive cost. However, every other Armor-building card is simply more dependable, even though the alternatives are more effective with groups of Bloons instead of a single Bloon.
  • The strength of this card mostly depends if the opponent lacks anything to pop down the target before enough Armor gets stacked. This card is very easy to brick the hand for the investment required, being unviable in Aggro, and is hard-countered by Armor Piercing and Bloon removers (e.g. Return to Sender, Extreme Heat, and Bloon Master Alchemist).
  • Most human players avoid Lead Casing. Not only are there a wide variety of hard counters to it, any competent Tempo deck has so many methods of dealing high damage (e.g. Sniper Monkey, Super Monkey Storm) that exceeds the amount of Armor that Lead Casing can provide.
