Push the Initiative
Stun target Bloon. Zero Gold: Summon a Yellow Bloon Give no quarter! Class Basic Card Pack Lead Storm Rarity Uncommon Keywords Zero Gold, Stunned Exclusive to Striker Jones Introduced Version 5.0 Stats Cost 2 Charges 1

Push the Initiative is a Basic Power card in Bloons Card Storm, introduced in version 5.0. It stuns a target Bloon, and if the player has 0 Gold after playing it, it summons a Yellow Bloon if the player's side has space on their Bloon tracks. It can only be added to Striker Jones decks.

The card artwork portrays Striker Jones standing near a Yellow Bloon and creating a blast onto a Blue Bloon. The scene is rocky and set at dusk.

Tips

This section was last updated for: version 5.2

• A similar card to Quincy's Stunning Shot, it trades 1 charge for the ability to summon a Yellow Bloon for free when out of Gold.
• You can use the Yellow Bloon to put on pressure while simultaneously stunning an enemy Bloon to relieve a bit of pressure on yourself, making Push The Initiative a decent choice for Tempo or Aggro decks.
• Striker Jones is ill suited for Aggro and the Yellow generally isn’t very threatening, making this card not very strong in most decks. The Zero Gold condition also harms its use since it has a more specific activation than other cards.
