We could get Huanglongmon as SR and Ruin Mode as SEC.

It'd be nice if this set led to Ruin Mode being added to the DRB. Being a Digimon created for a game, even today, means you need all the help you can get it seems.

Unfortunately, that's a negative, because regular Fanglongmon is indeed our first SEC. And, uh. He's scary.

With a reminder that I�m only posting the stuff that I, personally, find interesting, here�s some more cards.

quote:

Makuramon EX5-052 C <03>
Ultimate | Data | Holy Beast/Deva

[On Play] <Draw 1>. Then, you may play 1 Digimon card with the [Deva] trait with a different name from cards in your battle area or trash from your hand to an empty space in your breeding area.
[Opponent's Turn] Your opponent's Tamers with a cost of 2 or less can't suspend.
-----
[Opponent's Turn] While this Digimon has the [Four Sovereigns] or [God Beast] trait, this Digimon gains <Blocker>.

quote:

Loyalty Deeper than the Sea EX5-071 C <03>
Deva

While you have a Digimon with the [Deva] or [Four Soverigns] trait, you may use this card ignoring its color requirements.
[Main] Reveal the top 3 cards of your deck. Place 1 card with [Deva] or [Four Sovereigns] trait as the bottom digivolution card of 1 of your Digimon, or add 1 card with the [Deva] or [Four Sovereigns] trait to your hand. Return the rest to the top or bottom of your deck.
-----
[Security] Activate this card's [Main] effect.

Like all Option cards that aren�t named after attacks, this is a reference to the original card game

I like Leomon, and Merukimon looks cool, so here are some cards that were also revealed.

quote:

Elecmon EX5-044 C <03>
Rookie | Data | Mammal
[Digivolve: [Frimon]: Cost 0]
[On Play] Reveal the top 5 cards of your deck. Add 1 card with [Leomon] in its name among them to your hand. Place the rest at the bottom of your deck.
---
Inherited: [On Deletion] <De-Digivolve 1> 1 of your opponent's Digimon.

It actually searches for Leomon cards! It has a really strong on delete as an inheritable! The only downside to this card is it's not part blue, so EX2 Leomon can't evolve over it. Still, depending on the rest of the support, green base Leomon might become the way to go. I'm thrilled about Elecmon.

quote:

Merukimon EX5-042 SR <03>
Mega | Virus | Shaman/Olympos XII
<Indomitable> (When this Digimon is deleted while it has digivolution cards, play it without paying the cost)
[On Play] [When Digivolving] Reveal the top card of your deck. If that card is a level 5 or lower Digimon card with <Indomitable>, play it without paying the memory cost. Add the rest to your hand.
[Your Turn] All of your Digimon with <Indomitable> and no digivolution cards gain <Rush>.

Not too much to say about Merukimon. This card on its own is really good, it just kinda depends on what the rest of the line does. Currently the only other card we know of with Indomitable is EX5 Aquilamon, a green champion that's otherwise a vanilla and has an all-turns DP boosting inheritable.

I wonder if Merukimon is going to evolve from a green Garudamon X or if the Leomon line will lead into Merukimon; one notable thing if that does happen is that Merukimon is not a Leomon in name even with rules text, so Elecmon can't search it.

[On Deletion] If your opponent has a Tamer, gain 1 memory.
---
[Your Turn] While this Digimon has the [Four Sovereigns] or [God Beast] trait, this Digimon gains <Security Attack +1>.

So it seems like that's how a Deva deck's cycling is going to work. You get card draw and another free Deva in security, ready to go next turn.

We've got decks with regular egg loadouts, we've got decks with weird things in their eggs, we even had one deck that actively killed its own eggs, now get ready for the "Doesn't actually play an Egg Deck" deck!

(Though it's actually more likely they do play some number of eggs to start out and then just stops hatching as they start cycling in Devas)

Elecmon into Leomon has been a canon line for a while. Even before ReArise, the D-Power toy used Elecmon as Tamers' Leomon's Child level. It stuck from there, despite the relative obscurity of that little fact and how another D-Power line got heavily changed (Impmon > Meramon > DeathMeramon > Beelzebumon became the far more sensible but impossible at the time Impmon > Wizarmon > Baalmon > Beelzebumon with the Impmon DIM Card)

I see they�ve transferred the Tyranomon dev over to Leomon so now Leomon has to suffer.

Just keep the drat thing in Blue/Green, the blue Leomon were actually quite solid and the BT14 Leomon cards are rear end.

It does have a mane and is orange, it actually looks a lot like what I'd expect a Baby Leomon to, it's a good pick. Elecmon now feels like the outlier in the line though, it's a very awkward fit between Frimon and Leomon. Liollmon works better, but it was also made to be a Child Leomon.

Yeah, Elecmon as the rookie is a little weird, but they like to maintain old lines even if there are more coherent newer lines. It's odd, but oh well.

[Digivolve: Lv.6 w/ [Leopardmon] in name and w/o [X Antibody] trait: Cost 1]

[When Digivolving] [Main] (Once Per Turn) You may play 1 green Digimon card from your hand for the cost. When it would be played by this effect, reduce the play cost by 4. If a card with [Leopardmon] in its name or [X Antibody] is in this Digimon's digivolution cards, further reduce it by 3.
[Your Turn] (Once Per Turn) When you play a Digimon, you may return 1 of your opponent’s Digimon with 5000 DP or less to the hand. For each of your other Digimon, add 3000 to the maximum DP of the Digimon you may choose with this effect.

Oh, this is quite good. I really like the synergy the Leopardmon deck has with the LM01 Angoramon cards, and this is no exception.

It�s a real neat effect! Plus I believe this is the first Delay effect that works on the opponent�s turn (and the first token you can create for the opponent)

1st Stage Midboss: Oct 29, 2011

That trailer has me way more excited than I was before, I guess it proves just how much 02 is my favourite show. The unlikeliness that they'd reuse Vikemon in the same continuity and nothing else being on the DIM means we're probably not going to get Ultimates/Megas for the other two DNAs but honestly, that's fine in context. If it was longer-form like Tri it'd bug me, but in one single-movie story where the big climax of the action will come down to "Imperialdramon does a cool fight" regardless because they're the protagonist duo Digimon, I'm all for getting more screentime spent on Silphymon and Shakkoumon doing things because they're fond nostalgia characters to see in a movie.

Dubbing a movie and dubbing a 25-67 episode anime with far more characters to cast and a smaller built-in audience are very different prospects. A Ghost Game dub seems pretty likely anyway but the odds of Young Hunters or Appmon ever getting one seem extremely slim unless every other Digimon show performs amazingly.

Bandai and Toei seem to want to memory hole the Fusion dub, considering the complete absence of dub-specific terms for that season in the card game. I wouldn�t be surprised if that season was a sub only release.

Though in this case Young Hunters is honestly no big loss (you can easily stop after the first half of Xros Wars and still get a complete story). I would still kind of like an Appmon dub though but I�m not holding my breath on that.
