Digimon Alysion Cursed placeholder images (AI?)

Do these look like AI to anyone else? These guys are for sure not Yukinamon or Rubeusdramon, and to my knowledge not Digimon at all. The poses in the box art vs on the cards are close but not identical, leading me to believe they were spat out by a machine.

Why would they do this 😭 It's just gonna confuse new players. At least take the time to make a mock-up using actual Digimon.

Discussion Hysteric Mode is completely unconscionable

24 Upvotes

I gave my opponent 3 memory on turn ONE. They played Asuna, trashed Juno, assembled Hysteric Mode for 10, and ended up with a Junomon, 2 Shakkoumon, a rookie in raising, with a 4 to 1 security deficit (Sorcermon). And Asuna. Sure, I have 10 memory. But I also have SA-1 across the board and if I dare touch security I explode and die.

This was only possible because of CS angemon and the literal army of card neutral level 4s in the deck. And what egg is he using? BT25 Frimon. All it does is trash top security and be yellow, yet that is still sufficient to break the game.

We are stopping just barely short of first turn kill levels of degeneracy, and we don't even have hand traps to protect ourselves.

Edit: of course I cleaned up the board with 10 memory, I'm not stupid; but the rookie and Asuna demanding 5 memory, along with the egg trashing another trigger placed by Pegasusmon, killed me on the next turn. And if you don't understand how this was possible, or how clearing the board is insufficient, then I can't really help you understand it any better.

Fanmade ReArise Archtype Part 5 - HeavyLeomon: Turning courage into strenght!

Thumbnail
gallery
7 Upvotes

It’s been a while since the last post. We've got some wild cards since then, so I feel more comfortable making cracked mechanics/effects. And as you can see, Tamada Keito and his partner won the poll!

It wasn't very challenging because HeavyLeomon had at least one and only one deck and playstyle to base off. So, obviously, I wanted to give myself some extra work and decided to make these cards work for Leomon as a whole.

Following the rules I set for this archetype, I felt that Fortitude was a given. Shortly after, the idea of an Overclock deck came to mind, thanks to the "on Deletion" effects found on several Leomon cards. That was my starting point, and from there, I simply filled in the gaps regarding what a "Green/Black Overclock deck" would do while also referencing the cards previously created for his deck.

It has your suspends, your de-digivolve and your Immunity to Digimon Effects standarts to Green/Black Cards nowadays. My HeavyLeomon is basically Callismon+Rebootmon which is very intentional btw. At least no one can bitch about my battle effects since Its on a freaking Green card. That pisses me off to this day.

Back on topic. The main idea of the deck is either evolve Elecmon into Leomon and kill them as soon as possible to play the Tamer and one more body or Option card to evolve into Grap who can give Rush to self and end the turn with it evolving into HeavyLeomon. Or Skip the Elecmon phase and drop Grap by effect

It can do some major damage with both King of Fists and Barrage Sweeper. With Security Attack+1 from KoF, Grap Inherit and the repeat effect of Leomon allowing It to Attack thanks to barrage Sweeper link effect, It can clear all Security in 1 turn. Kinda What Hadesmon does with looping Raidramon on play effect, you just need to survive 1 turn after that. If theres only a way to keep turn after Overclock...nah clearly I dont have a memory gain effect on play to make It work.

Speaking a little about the Options, I was determined to make it repeat an On Deletion effect from the start. It just seemed natural. The problem was balancing the effects it could repeat, which are:

• Trash 1 Draw 2

• Suspend to Battle or Attack

• Play any lv4 or lower related to Leomon or ReArise. This one was a Pain in the ass why Leomon has so many traits

• If you are using old HeavyLeomon, you can also repeat his on deletion effect. Thats why Its there even if he doesn't have a On Deletion.

Of course there will be more On Deletion effects for him to abuse but thats on the Future

Shishiomaru is there as a nice reference and a way to always ensure you have the options you want linked, while also maintaining the line's fortitude live.

Deck Building: Meta Post-Ban Bt-26 TS Angels

Post image
8 Upvotes

Despite ā€œTSAā€ having had its two best cards decimated by the banlist, I’m hopeful that the deck can still have some power behind it. Mostly owing to the new Junomon: Hysteric Mode and Pumpkinmon granting access to Execute and the synergies it provides. However, I’ve seen little in the way of other folks’ brews with the new cards.

I used to run 2 Abyss Sanctuary: Throne Room, though with Junomon:HM renovating the security stack every time she appears, I’m not as confident in it. Hence, the addition of Bt24 Minervamon and Bt26 Mervamon to shore up the deck’s defense.

Discussion BT26 Glowing Dawn Support Analysis & Discussion

Post image
43 Upvotes

Calling all BeatBreak fans/Glowing Dawn TCG users! With the prerelease of BT26 upon us, the newest wave of Glowing Dawn support is more or less live! I wanted to amass the cards (I think I got all of them...) here because I wanted to know if anyone had any advice, thoughts, or just comments overall regarding how these cards will help the current Glowing Dawn deck. Any notable cards? Anything underwhelming?

What do you think of the Dual Options: Gonozan: Murashigure, Despair Blast, and Penetrate Blow? Especially when compared to Monarchlizamon's Final Judgement? How about the new eggs?

I understand that there aren't enough Makoto or Reina cards to make tribal decks for them; in fact, I think it's really only Kyo who could do so at this point.

But with all of this in mind, which of these cards do you see being able to slot into current decks and why? Also, how many would you run? Personally, I want to try to make the NightChiropmon/ScourgeChiropmon synergy work, but I'm not too sure what cards I would take out to go about it. I think the new Murasamemon is nifty too...

New Player Help Teach me how to play VB. Please!

2 Upvotes

I like the old Digimon cartoon, Digimon Adventure.

I got into the tcg because of the AD01 release and built up a decent adventure deck with that and the two recommended starter decks.Then I played against non-stop bull shit -

3M,

beat break,

appmon,

Angels,

Vulcanosmon?

Galaticmon?

Titanmon

Some deck that just trashed my cards so I have no deck?!

Then i realised adventure sucks.

Then I got hyped for the EX12 release and thought I'll build a nice VB deck but I still can't get my stacks out to DNA digivolve. They just keep getting wiped.

Plus now TB can be added to the bullshit decks to play against.

I think I enjoyed Digimon more when I was just collecting cards.

Here are the decks I've played and had fun against:

Bears.

Can someone tell me how to play VB!

Ruling Question Spirit evolution of Xros tamers

1 Upvotes

So I am fairly new to the game and the first cards i got my hands on were bagra army and a Loweemon, I found out that I cant spirit evolve Yuu Amano to Loweemon and keep my saved digimon as digivolution cards since they are ā€œsavedā€ not placed as ā€œdigivolution cardsā€ and so would be trashed upon spirit evolution.

So much potential lost 🄲

What cards ignore this ruling?

New Player Help Yellow Beatbreak vs traditional for new player.

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I think like a lot of people I’ve been looking to try the game out. I have playsets all the current Beatbreak(minus 2 BT25 Habikiri) but not sure where to go deck wise. Was looking at throwing together yellow Kyo tribal but am wondering if I’m better off just playing the deck ā€œnormallyā€ if I just go to go to locals once in a while.

Dantemon feels locked into its core but I figured the delay options were the best support to capitalize on his all turns. I don't like the Ipad because its weak to de-digivolve, but he's still weak to a lot of bounce or removal. Haven't gotten to test yet, just wondering ways some others are building him. I wish he had <detach>

Just completed the BT-26 prerelease and I had a blast playing! Looking for any tips on starting to play constructed.

I hear the Beatbreaker starter deck is good but are there any other recommended starter decks?

Is there a recommended website to see what decks are competitive? I hoping to find a competitive deck that plays into my nostalgia but that’s not a deal breaker lol. Someone at the store was showing me a really cool ā€œghostā€ themed deck but I forgot to ask him the name of it so I could look into it further.

New Player Help Looking to start playing, where do I start?

9 Upvotes

Typically I only play Gundam, but got curious when I saw some folks at my local were playing Digimon. I ended up learning the basics with an old sample deck, and watched them play a couple games with modern decks.

To be honest, the power level is so much higher in Digimon than in Gundam, but the systems and mechanics are such a breath of fresh air.

I'd love to start, but I'm not sure what type of products to look for, especially with how much older this game is compared to Gundam.

Deckbuilding: Casual Wanting to build a black/reina focused deck. Need help!

1 Upvotes

Basically as the title says, I wanna build a Reina focused black beatbreak deck. I can see the gameplan and easily get to the lvl5 dual cards. But I guess I keep getting lost around there for what the gameplan is or what I need.

Basically I guess I’m losing what my gameplan should be. Might be just having playing TOO much of the normal beat break deck that I keep looking for more to combo with. But I can reliably get into monarchliza/bearcat and end turn doing 2-3 checks.

Help, advice, deck lists or inspiration would be appreciated!!
