Video

@Blahander we film at locals, so we don't always have the best setups each time. Sometimes they have the neon lights heavy going and it is difficult to get clean video. I'll try and brighten them up a bit more in editing, but I can't guarantee it'll be perfect everything since it is a quick setup and run type of recording. Hopefully adding the cards to the video and commentary helps clear up anything hard to see on the field. Thank you for the comment!

@MainDeckMastersllc thanks for the notes! It was our first week of set 5 and most of us did little to no testing prior to release so we are pretty casual minded. Haha

Ice Shield recovers the damage first, then you can pay to end the phase. Some of us are accustomed to just tripping the shield and "short cutting" the process as it works the same and makes it move quicker, but traditionally you are to take the damage, trigger the burst, recover the damage you took back into life, then pay cost if you wish to end the battle phase. It shouldn't prevent damage when played from hand.

@sannxi1945 for which deck? Since this was back in set 3 the decks have probably vastly changed, but I can give you build theory for the one you are interested in.

@@valleyboysdigimontcg8246 I would like to know the decklist of the nocturna, I don't know if it's possible.

@trickyplays240 it has been a while, but hoping to getting back to making videos again soon

@@valleyboysdigimontcg8246 BSS is a great game and we just need people like you to support it and show what cool decks can be made !

We have been on a long break but will hopefully have more BSS content soon

Soon bud, soon.

They are actually glass beads from crafting stores. I think maybe aquarium beads? One side is flat so they don't roll around on you as much. Haha

@@valleyboysdigimontcg8246 I wondered it that’s what they were! I remember my mom having some when I was a kid. Very cool. I’m playing machine beast white and was wondering about getting some small metal nuts to use as cores. Thanks for heads up 🤙🏼

@DBZSeanzie that is actually a really cool idea. You can use 1 short bolt for soul core? I like that idea a lot. Bolt and Nuts are cores for machines or mecha! Great idea

@@valleyboysdigimontcg8246 I was thinking about spray painting them blue, then making the soul core red. Similar size to the original cores as hardware nuts, then the soul core could be a bigger nut or a bolt. Thanks so much 😊

@@valleyboysdigimontcg8246 I checked the official rules and they made it seem like you could only use the little cores, or provided cores. Still a cool idea for friendlies. It would be cool for each deck to have themed cores. Also another revenue stream for Bandai Any suggestions for white side board against green? Thanks!😊

I reached out to James on this question. He said it isn't too bad cuz he is just bouncing their stuff and generally faster. The fact they hand over so much memory gives you plenty to set up and utilize the hybrids as well.

@valleyboysdigimontcg8246 thanks again for asking him

The game is very fun and I highly recommend it. As for starter decks, that is a tricky question. There are a few staples in some starters, like red, white, and blue, but some don't have anything to really build from. One of the best decks to start and learn from is probably white aggro. It is a deck built with bulk that doesn't need ice shields and has a turn 2 win if it high rolls.

@@valleyboysdigimontcg8246 ty

I'm not sure what other TCG you are talking about. The collaboration is just od the IP, so they are essentially "reskinning" some cards with new arts depicting different IPs. Did I say something wrong? Haha, my bad if I made it seem like there is a new game.

Yup, blue has some really solid stuff this set. Excited to see what it will do competitively.

Most of our videos are BO3, but this night we didn't get to record as many. This was a 1-of between rounds and the other 2 from the same night were quick 2-0s with the 2nd game being very one sided so we decided to make short interesting games. Future vids should mostly be Bo3. Thanks for the feedback, hope you enjoyed!

Most of my vids are BO3, but this was a quick 1-of between rounds and the previous 2 were 2-0s with the other games just being blow outs so decided for quick cuts this week to keep them interesting. It will usually be BO3, just trying shorter vids for people who want some quick breaks. Thanks for the input, will try to keep it BO3 in the future.

So, I have yet to build/play it myself but my understanding is utilizing Smagg as a universal reduction spirit since there serves as all colors and using the good stuff. Then, when you need to replenish and have used up a lot of resources, Kei can be used to essentially replenish your hand as she grabs something of all colors from the trash. I don't have his list, as we are always changing ours, but The Egman had a few that topped a few events so those are solid starting points. Glad you liked the vid!

Here is the deck list: 4 Jewel Dragon Smagg (EX01) 2 Six Aegis Emperor Kei (L01) 4 Beldegor of the Dark World Seven (BSS01) 2 Dualgun Mechlord Dirm Dyna (BSS01) 3 Mechabeast Fortress Naumanngard (BSS01) 2 Valkyrie Hildr (BSS03) 2 Grimoire Fairy (ST04) 4 Worker Antman (BSS02) 4 Scopowl (PR) 3 Volcanic Canyon (BSS01) 4 Starblessed Draw (BSS01) 1 Volcanic Break (BSS01) 3 Burning Force (BSS01) 3 Dream Bomb (ST03) 4 Absolute Ice Shield (BSS01) 3 Thorn Prison (BSS02) 2 Flood Stream (ST06) I've swapped out the two copies of Dirm Dyna for Dark Lancer Cavailere, since I didn't run enough nexuses to utilize his abilities properly. Beldegor, Hildr, and Scopowl are for removal and stall, keeping my life up until I can ramp with Smagg and Antman. Naumamanngard and Kei are win conditions, once board is built up with smaller spirits either of them can help blitz your opponent down. Large amount of spells for card draw and removal, since a good thorn prison or flood stream at the right time can make or break games. Grimoire fairy is there to help pull specific magic cards like ice shield or dream bomb when you need them, and to provide and extra body for beldegor to revive. Deck likes to play slow and build advantage in cores and cards before slamming in with one of the big guys, but with so many cheaper spirits and removal magics you can also play a bit more aggro when you need to, like against blue.

Thanks a million ! That's is brilliant ! ​@@reedaleeki

​@@valleyboysdigimontcg8246thanks for all your help keep up the great content !

Good catch! Ya we missed that. Thank you for the reminder!

Unfortunately I don't, I haven't been gathering decks from my opponents but next time around I might try to

@@valleyboysdigimontcg8246 ok. I been working on a ant deck is why I asked.

I have yet to build or test new Melga, so I would not have realized all that, but good call out. Love to see comments from people who know the decks and suggest optimal plays.

We actually just uploaded a short for the golem deck. Check out our shorts! Glad you enjoyed it.

czcams.com/users/shorts5e9nnDWMUtU?si=LZkKD4PQjmddCzBM

We try to keep the scene alive. It is starting to grow again

Hmm, maybe I missed that. Not sure why I didn't swing

It was a rough one for sure

It isn't even about Kei. It's one single card, Beldegor, that roasts him😅

Ah, you are right! Those mills matter, could mill his answers. Good catch!

@@valleyboysdigimontcg8246 Told you on your Facebook post, I've played nothing but blue this set, I don't miss any chance to mill, so it hurts to see. 😂😂

Thank you! I will try to upload some shorts next time for deck profiles, but as of right now I'll only be able to post my white tiger and blue golem. Hopefully this next week I'll find time to post those.

Just got the blue list up! czcams.com/users/shorts5e9nnDWMUtU?si=LZkKD4PQjmddCzBM

I will be uploading the white list as a short soon (hadn't had the chance to film it yet)

We finally got the list up! czcams.com/users/shortsCF-lmrh8yEo?si=6Kd95-bJ-W7T6EPx

I completely didn't realize I could be running Heavens Judgment. Good tips, I appreciate that.

@@valleyboysdigimontcg8246 i love Crimson blaze stops them playing bodies but I've found myself needing to be a little bigger to run over deathX and other big lv6s. Bt14 tyrannomon is under rated to get the extra attack in.

@Dinowrestler absolutely agree about bt14 tyranno. And my locals had a lot of fenril, dbrigade, and bloom, so Crimson worked

I believe it was a misplay, I don't like to think of any of our locals as particularly dirty. I think it was an oversight, but it is a common misplay for those who don't play greymon enough.

Hi, was going to post the list, but the list is changing this week with release of ex05 so decided to wait and test new build 1st.

I will be doing a short for my deck soon. I don't have my opponents lists though. I should post the white deck soon.

Finally got a deck list up! czcams.com/users/shortsCF-lmrh8yEo?si=6Kd95-bJ-W7T6EPx

That is what I thought, but a few argued against me on that, so I just went with it to avoid any issues. Haha

Ya, we all try and have fun and play something a little different every week and it results in some fun builds.

I think because of the nature of the game, how everything can block and attack the turn it is played, it is very much like Chess. You have to really think your next moves and those of your opponents potentially a little more than some card games so it becomes very much a chess match and a game of thinking, so it isn't as flashy.

Completely agree. We started this channel for Digimon, and slowly BSS has become my preferred game lately

@@valleyboysdigimontcg8246 As much as I still like digimon, the powercreep wave it had since BT9 or so, all the broken purple cards, bandai's habit of making otk decks, plus a good amount of cards that should've been hit a long time ago made the game really frustrating competitive-wise

Coming from Yugioh it’s so refreshing. No unbreakable boards, infinite negates, no watching your opponent just search his whole deck out for eternity. Also it feels balanced with good player interaction

Thank you, I'm working on it. Have about 5 more that need to be edited, so make sure to check back soon, should have another one in 2 or 3 days.

@@valleyboysdigimontcg8246 awsome i cant wait i love playing white deck

It was actually my first time playing white and did enjoy it and I think the Tiger is very under appreciated. Will try and do a profile as a short soon to go with this locals run.

Honestly, dino was super fun and I would totally play it again but with some tweaks. I just updated it to add some new Togemons to help get tamers out. Honestly the new Palmon line from bt14 is just great for green in general.

It isn't too special, the basic line and added security impmon and security witchmon along with training boosts. Waiting for the Saberdramon to add and revisit the build

@@valleyboysdigimontcg8246 still would love to see a full decklist

@@TheLegendOfTommy I'll see what I can do. I am overdue for some deck lists

Ya, I understand. It is tough because this is our main shop and they do this lighting on Friday nights. I try to get around it when I can. My BSS videos usually are safe from the lights but the digimon play tables are directly under the lights so I am kinda screwed. I try to avoid when I ca

@@valleyboysdigimontcg8246your shop really put the rave in Ravemon. Hahaha

Sorry about that. I've mentioned it before on some of the videos but that is the lighting the shop uses lately for Friday night tourneys. I try to avoid it when I can. Sorry it bothered you so much. It is in a few videos unfortunately but will do my best to try and set up in a way that it isn't as noticeable.

And nice Tyrannomon deck, I love both, Greymon and Tyrannomon, Dino Power!!!!

Hmm, you are correct, that evolution was incorrect. Good catch, didn't even realize that. Thanks for that, hope you enjoyed despite the misplay!

For Sukamon? I can get one soon and upload a short.

Happy Holidays to you too bud, till the next time!
