Because of its damage ramping over many rounds, the Wizard is best used in control decks when paired with cards that deal with swarms, and against high-HP bloons during its early stages. Its main weakness is early Bloon aggro from cards that can survive its attacks, such as Blooming Bloon.
If the Wizard is placed early, the Wizard will need two turns (one on Game Night) before it becomes immune to Bed Time, unless weakened by other sources (e.g. Weakening Gas Bloon, Buddy Bloon).
Wizard is a safe candidate for Try this!, guaranteeing much more damage per round especially if it is placed for a long time, compared to Spike-o-Pult which has one whole round of downtime but better synergy with Try This.
Like many other scaling Monkeys, Wizard is weak to OTK and removals, including Return to Sender (which resets its ATK back to base amount).
