mandatory lesbian posted:I more meant videos of tournament play, altho thinking about it dcg might not have the cachet to have much of that yet Ahhh, okay. Your best bet for stuff like that is probably gonna be DPP's channel. He posts a bunch of locals footage, but he's based in Singapore so he plays in the JP format. As for my own thoughts: the current best decks are all varying degrees of hybrid decks, with Blue Hybrids being the standout best deck. It's a weird format, because it's pretty varied and everything can win, but also blue is clearly better than the other decks. I've been playing green hybrids and black X-Antibodies, and am mostly just excited to get to BT08. The format's going to change pretty drastically, with the introduction of the new Imperialdramon and Mastemon starter decks immediately being meta contenders, Armor Release, and another huge chunk of X-Antibody support (I hope) bringing that deck up to meta contention. Hybrids will remain strong, but it will most likely be much less overwhelmingly so. The hits to the Eyesmon package and SaviorHuckmon becoming official as of BT08 prerelease (April 29th) will also have interesting implications for the format going forward, since in JP meta Jesmon was the only red deck people played, and Eyesmon did a lot to keep Lilith Loop (and purple in general) viable. It's a lot of exciting stuff.

Blaze Dragon posted:I like how all three of Shoutmon, Ballistamon and Dorulumon are shown to be in the same place, clearly a stage for Shoutmon himself. I imagine the upcoming Starmon and Pickmon (still got no Xros Heart Level 2 and nothing else fits the description) and probably Sparrowmon will be the same. Pickmon is an old level 2, so it'll definitely be the level 2 that Shoutmon evos off of. Starmons we've already seen the art for, and yeah, it's on the same stage. I'm less sure about Sparrowmon, Nene wasn't part of Xros Heart for a while. I imagine that Kiriha and Greymon will likewise not be Xros Heart.

Omnicrom posted:No, but the new one does. It's also prolly better for a Xros Heart deck as it has "When Attacking: If this is a Xros Heart Digimon Draw 1". The old one gave you a boost if you went wide, but based on Saving and Digixrossing it seems like Xros Heart is the sort of deck that goes all in on one hyper big Digimon and definitely needs as much draw power as it can get. We got some of Kiriha's team revealed today. Like Shoutmon et al, they have their ordinary typing plus Blue Flare, and they interact with other specific Kiriha Digimon, Kiriha himself, and Blue Flare as a broader type. Also MailBirdramon has a stun with a trivial condition in its inheritable, so we're gonna have to deal with that again in B10. Whenever we get there, after all these delays.......

I'd imagine X4B is in the set as well. Seeing how X5B is Red/Purple, Beelzebumon is likely purple itself. Considering the Bagra Army cards revealed the other day specifically reference her brother, Nene is definitely gonna be in the set.

Omnicrom posted:And if we're talking the card game imitating the anime, I point out that the game is providing mechanical incentives use both Taiki and Kiriha. Taiki can fish for cards to set materials for xrossing but he can only use a single material when you digixross and has no memory mechanics, meanwhile Kiriha is a memory tamer and he lets you use any number of materials for xrossing from any of your tamers but has no inbuilt way to get that started. Basically, if you are interested in going full Xros Heart it seems like you would want to include Kiriha as your memory tamer of choice just so you could get all of the Digimon you've saved out in one go when you play one of the big xrosses. Most likely there'll be some reason the play Nene in that deck as well, and maybe even Yu depending on what he does (recover materials from discard maybe? The army he's in would probably like that is an effect.) I dunno, Kiriha is JUST Blue Flare, whereas we can see Sparrowmon is both Twilight and Xros Heart. It wouldn't surprise me at all if it turns out that Nene is the dedicated memory tamer for Xros Heart, while also having some specific effects for getting JetMervamon out.

1st Stage Midboss posted:As much as Agumon doesn't excite me, I've spent years wanting Digimon games where you have A Digimon Partner instead of collecting monsters, like in every piece of fiction (except sorta Xros Wars), and this seems like it does both, which is a decent approach. I'd much rather be able to choose who it is, but since Survive also gives you a set protagonist instead of a choice like Next Order and Cyber Sleuth it does sell it more as "this is the protagonist, his partner is Agumon" rather than "your partner is Agumon, deal with it." This is true, I actually like that. Especially if I can have him evo outside the traditional lines like was mentioned earlier.

girl dick energy posted:The right play here if you're gonna do that is using the normal yellow late-game/slowdown stuff combined with the D-Reaper engine, right? Renamon pulling Yellow Tamers is obviously supposed to pull Ruki, but it also means there's synergy with JetSilphymon et al. You could hypothetically build a deck that's the full Renamon line from EX02 and BT10 (so, about 28 cards if you're playing 4-ofs of everything), 4x Rika, the Plugins you plan on abusing, then dedicating the rest of the space to D-Reaper. But at that point, you're also talking about putting at most 16 D-Reaper cards in the main deck, and I'm just not sure that's enough. Maybe if you limited the Sakuyamon line to just BT10 with EX02 Sakuyamon it would make more sense? I dunno. thetoughestbean posted:D-Reaper pairs well with Yellow Hybrids and Yellow in general because it gives the deck access to Spiral Masquerade, a yellow option that can be incredibly powerful if you go wide enough, so I can see a potential mix, but Sakuyamon needs a lot of Plug-Ins to work so deck building is a bit tough How big is the Yellow Hybrid package in those decks?

Omnicrom posted:I didn't see him last time I looked, which is a pity because wow. Suddenly the various other Gammamon forms (and Hiro's effect) make significantly more sense even if most of the time it's mostly just going to have Blitz, but then again Blitz hypothetically up the entire line hypothetically is a nasty thing to pass on... It also makes me more interested in LaMortmon and Thetismon, I doubt they'll be exact mirrors since Jimba Angoramon doesn't have a proper effect but I am curious as to whether their respective partners are as laser focused in supporting them as well. I'm not EXPECTING them to be in BT10, but there are still undisclosed Level 5s in Blue and Green... Emphasis mine. Neither was I, and yet here they are. quote:[When Digivolving] Suspend 1 of your opponent's Digimon quote:Tethysmon So this is interesting. Lamortmon is pretty big for its level and can unsuspend, you want to have Ruli for Angoramon plays anyway so his downside doesn't matter much. On the other hand, no inheritable. Neither does Tethysmon, for that matter, and for once they actually gave Blue Unsuspend a cost (granted, one that is subverted pretty trivially, but it's still not FREE like it normally is.)

thetoughestbean posted:Green has access to stun in Rafflesimon and effects that keep cards suspended, red has a good deal of removal, and they both have a focus on getting pieces off the board by just attacking them. Rafflesimon is really outdated at this point, but I can at least kinda see the argument for the effects that keep cards suspended. I think my issue there is that effect is rare. Like, you can see it on Argomon Lv6, MegaGargomon, and I guess Puppetmon, and that's it. Meanwhile, Yellow has a whole line of Security Attack -1 and a bunch of recovery, Blue has stun for days, and Black...well, black supports its blockers, I guess.

Thetoughestbean and I have been talking in discord, and we both agree that this honestly isn't that helpful in a Xros Heart deck. It recurs resources from Trash, but Xros Heart doesn't really discard anything. From my perspective, the only thing this card would actually recur is X4 or anything that actively dies, and I don't think it's THAT important. That said, it's another level 4 with a Shoutmon name, so that's useful, if nothing else.

thetoughestbean posted:The effect takes place before your turn ends. So, if you play Sistermon Ciel and go memory negative, you can still do an evolution for the evolution cost, even though normally your turn would be over before you could evolve. It's even better. If you have the proper setup (and this is some highroll poo poo right here), you can digivolve a level 5 into starter deck Gankoomon, use his effect to play Sistermon Ciel from trash and dedigivolve an opponent's digimon, use Ciel to evolve into Gankoomon X (effectively free with Ciel's memory gain), use his effect to play another Sistermon Ciel, THEN you can go into GX.

Blaze Dragon posted:Tyranomon is part of the very first batch of Digimon in the entire franchise, much like Agumon and Greymon, and has been the face of the franchise for the 20th anniversary. It has significant value for the franchise outside of being a Tyranomon. It's also very physically similar to Agumon, even as a child I thought it was a logical evolution (admittedly influenced by getting it in Digimon World, but still). I feel like this is all the more reason not to just include Tyrannomon as a single stage. It's BECAUSE Tyrannomon is important to the franchise that they should go down a dedicated Tyrannomon line.
