would be nice it getting update with new lordknightmon ACE?
I can see the agreements and disagreements with Emissary of Hope. The main thing here is if you opened Emissary and T.K. it's pretty much HPD. But I don't see Bandai ever doing semi restrictions because they always seem to be in a one, none or all mindset.
I also do think Bandai is spreading themselves thin - because by having so many card games.. unless they outsource how they're printing the cards any reprints kind of get pushed waaaaay back.
Yellow is the color with the strongest potential mechanics, Blue is the color with the strongest mechanics in practice, and black is the color that struggles for an identity and needs clear direction moving forward.
Black has a clear direction; it’s just too passive
I would agree with this, but say that black is the best complimentary color in the game. It’s the only one that can’t stand under its own steam, but abilities like dedigi, blocker, collision etc are GREAT when other colors take the lead. Great comparison is how dbrigade is struggling atm but nume is tier 1. Both are sticky swarm strategies but the yellow in nume puts it over the top.
You touched on it but I think the tcg is really dependent on the ip. A big video game would be huge
All they did with Survive was some cruddy promo rookies. Could def get a couple sets out of that. Was a good story and lots of different digimon to use.
@@GlobalDigitalEmpire I would love another Digimon story like cyber sleuth
I think if we had a game that was as big as cyber slueth wed have a good chance to see growth of the ip but tbh im not too sure if we can catch that same lightning in the bottle
@@hyrumlobo-lam1895 maybe a mobile game kind of like Pokemon unite but how your rookie evolved was based on your "gameplay" during the matches. Would draw in more casual fans.
Are colors balanced? Well; looking at the meta the last few sets? No. Red has been in a pretty bad place for a while. Yellow has been the best color for a while now [ever since the BT15 banlist]; with Blue not far behind. Green and purple pop up here and there, and Black is usually stapled to a couple of other things but is not the driving force of their decks usually?
20:28 the gameplay is not boring like its also damn good like i try play other bandai tcg but back to digimon since its more fun maybe im not meta guy but damn play diffrent color and see diffrent point of view to win the game is damn good... to me its sad not popular like other tcg... at my area the player base are getting smaller...
30:10 really love to see everywhere we share same release date so we also got wide poll of opinion one build not just stuck with jp meta
I Vibe with the "Its hard to get event results" section
Regarding possible restrictions:
At the Moment (ENG Format, BT16) in my area people are mostly complaining about Numemon with 8 Ukkos, wich is a real pain.
Also the Etemon+Valkyire Combo, which can easily be used in Numemon as well.
The more competitive player see Nume as (almost) tier 0 at the moment.
But it seems in Japan this wasn't this big of an issue or at least got better with the newer sets.
Liberator is giving me well over a year kind of story like 2 years atm
I think what digimon REALLY needs is a world game with almost if not nearly all of the digimon out right now with some kind of definitive digipedia to make entry into the IP easy
Agree! I hope Liberator lasts a while and honestly a new main console game would be great. Something on the level of cybersleuth would be cool
Red = sadness n despair
Right out the gate I gotta ask why you shifted from KAzama to KaZAma
I don't quite get Japanese name pronunciation yet so the reason interests me
I'm not fluent in Japan's meta at the moment, but I do think MagnamonX is the most oppressive card in the game right now. Do you hit it though? I'm not sure. It definitely makes weaker or slightly slower strategies just impossible to compete with, the problem is it pushes decks out, not that it's overpowered.
Emissary and Patamon are also big problems and present problems for the future of card design for Vaccine cards. Ain't no way a Rookie is going to say, Push out, gain 4 memory... and be legal for a long time.
Numemon is definitely feeling the pain of these yellow decks getting so much stronger, but I still think Ukkomon needs to get sliced out of the equation to set Nume straight. 1 of each is fine for anyone that wants to tech it in for some random speed boosts.
Both Ukkomon speeds up the game tremendously, and can spiral out of control even without playing other cards if your opponent can't out them.
Some of the Imperialdramon cards are absolutely cracked as well and should get a good look at on the side.
no idea that was you in that old digimon video obama made. small world. anyways great ama
Thanks for reading and replying in my chat message 🥳.
Bro East got that Cooking Degree to cook some Decks up in Digimon 😂😂
Blue clearly still dominating.
Blue beating my ass on the weekly 😭
Red removal makes me think of giving a shoto a really good fireball and a decent DP but giving every other character a way around their fireball so the only thing they have left is system mechanics and DP (Raid)
Colours definitely aren't balanced in the Digimon tcg these days, BT16 all but one of the decks are at least partially yellow. Being a green main is painful because Imperial is the only top tier green deck and it's still a very blue deck. Bugs is awesome but losses to yellow vaccine hard.
Bushiroad be like:
My friend group is sick of me saying it but I'm a serial black player and i get so frustrated at times because it seems oddly intentional that blacks mechanics are always the most balanced keywords and effects in any of the colors they play the game way more honest than any other color I think we have got to give black and as much as the old player in me cant believe I'm saying it red needs to get deletion effects that prevent digimon from returning for a turn make it a keyword 😊
In the past I think black did have some of the most honest effects, but recently with the onset of Collision and being able to force attacks as well, they definitely got some dirty stuff lol.
Red feels like a one trick pony thanks to red hybrids. Yellow and Green are super busted tho: they have some REALLY annoying cards at their disposal. Blue, Black and Purple do have some dumb stuff, but I can't say they are as unfair as yellow and green.
Magnamon X (BT16) is the equivalent of That Grass Looks Greener (Yu-Gi-Oh!). It isn't necessarily the most powerful card, because there are ways around it. However, because of the design space of the card, all the other decks have to build around it. MagnaX warps the format around it. Sure, Numemon does well and takes a lot of spots on the leaderboards, but if you break it down, that is basically because it does exceptionally well against MagnaX, against everything else it is still a mostly fair deck. And yes, there will always be a "boogie-man" in card games, but MagnaX is a bit more than that. MagnaX does not have to be Apocalymon to be a problem. Apocalymon was unfair in every retrospective, but that's an easy ban/restriction. MagnaX, because it "feels" fair doesn't necessarily mean it is healthy for the format. Because so long as MagnaX exists, the meta has to always play around MagnaX as the gatekeeper.
"against everything else it is still a mostly fair deck" yeah not even close. Numemon is another stupid deck that has access to way too much. But right on the money on Magna X though.
@@duffboy502
I think before the Etemon + Valkyrimon ACE engine was introduced, it was mostly fair. The Western version of Numemon does do much more, but the thing is with that engine is that if can be placed in any deck. I think Etemon (EX5) is the real problem, and not Numemon itself. And that's a whole different talk, because it is actually a problem with Yellow in general, not just Numemon. Because having essentially a 7 drop Option that forces your opponent to attack into an ACE, but is really a body to digivolve into an ACE, is a different problem to be solved. If Etemon's effect was on a LV4, I don't think we would be having this discussion. Which is why I said that Numemon is "mostly fair". And I believe that without MagnaX, we would have decks that can deal with Numemon fairly well. At least without MagnaX, I believe the top 32 would be more diverse, because we wouldn't need to have decks that needed to climb over a 15000 unaffected blocker. And on that note, we would also probably need to pair restrict Mother D-Reaper and Shoto Kazama (EX7). Because unaffectable blockers like these shouldn't exist.
@@ArcDragoon Yeah, despise what I personaly think of numemon, I kinda see where you are coming from, even if I (mostly) disagree. The yellow pool nowadays is so diverse, and as the most functional lv 5 and 6 aces are essentialy yellow, pairing all those things to a deck with strong floating effects like nume, it gets way out of control. From my experience playing with and against it, the deck mostly doesn't really care about what your opponent will do (except if it's MirageGao). They climb fast, recover their field even faster, while being very aggro at the same time. Heck, the big stupid Magna X doesn't scare Nume enough. And even as I think that Magna X is a way more problematic card than whatever Nume has, this deck is just too much (in a game that most other decks are just too little). And shoto just might be an issue as well.
Bro, y'all seem cool. A member of the FGC ane TCG is such a common and weird thing, why do you think theres so much overlap?
Yeah I can’t really explain it either lol Feels like as soon as you like one, a switch flips and you just vibe with both lol
i notice shitty bandai loooooooooove giving purple SEC..... likee almost nonstop while they giving black color card just meh SEC look at that SEC blackwargreymon... what a sad card. fakin bandai.
Tbf sec bwg was decent when it was released
speaking of SF vicous the commentator is/was digimon tcg player, miss playing witht him.
I actually got to speak with him at evo Japan! I fear one piece has stolen him from us lol
@@East_ML Noo! another one lost to OPtcg 😋
They need more tcgs (I want a that time I got reincarnated as a slime tcg) lol
EAST STOPPIN THE YELLOW VACCINE PROPAGANDA MY GOAT
Hpd to 4
I think after the release of Digimon, Bandai should've made it so that all subsequent games had the same endgame, therefore you could do a cross play between the multiple card games. Every card game should just be mainly about breaking five shields and attacking the player, but how to get there is some what different between each card game. This would've allowed Union Arena to have a place by being supplemental to all the card games, and not be just its own card game. Sure, we would still have pure tournaments for each card game, but also allow one large tournament to play with all the card games.
Dead wrong about emmisary of hope and HPD comparison.
HPD has literally no restrictions except for the colour green.
Emissary requires:
1. Your security to be set up
2. Have the security to evolve into
3. Only vaccine trait digimon
4. Neg 1 security unless you have a TK.
HPD can be used in literally every single green deck but emissary cannot. Theres your difference.
Err....you make it sound like it's an hard set up for Vaccine? Like i do agree HPD has no restrictions but you cannot tell me it's "hard to set up" Emmisary plus Patamon is broken, Patamon + TK start is mad value.
@@Vanon35435It's only hard if you have other traits on Deck like Hybrids or Virus (LadyDevimon on Mastemon)
Yet they restricted geogreymon, which plays out a tamer from security for 3 cost in yellow vaccine. Idk if it’s fair to say that emissary is worse than geogreymon. To be clear I don’t really think anything needs to get hit this (bt16 since we’re behind) format, but let’s not cope about emissary being super broken.
Apocalymon required:
1. Your trash to be set up
2. Have the lv6’s to keep putting in the trash.
3. Mostly Lv6 dark masters in the deck
4. Keep him alive on the board to get the effect the following turn.
🤔
Honestly emissary is a better hpd. May have a few extra requirements but within the engine well those requirements are easy to meet. I can set up my security so easily to have a level 5 or a level 4. The amount of times I legit just go digivolve to pata In breeding play tk put level 4 in sec, then next turn push pata digivolve to rapid and either already have a rapid x or a level 5 in there or put a level 5 or rapid in there to then go emissary and just overtake the game is far more then when I wif. And if emissary is hit from security it has potential to play a patamon and then it goes to your hand which is nuts.
I play yellow vaccine armor and tyrant and i can say emmisary feels soooo much stronger then hpd.
Bandai's game design dictates that only blue and yellow should get all the overtuned tools it needs and everything else can get fucked.
Nah. Colors are not balanced at all. Purple is still disgusting as hell and the latest effects when mixed with yellow are anything but well balanced.
Also Black is always behind, has since bt2 and that hasn't change at all.
To answer the thumbnail, yes. Bandai is shit.
The hidden joke here is that this video actually has two thumbnails and this comment works for both of them lmao
No. Not even close yellow and purple are always super good with literally no drawback
We need a new red/black lv.6 that says [On digivolve] Delete one of your opponent's digimon then {De-digivolve 2} on one of your opponent's digimon. DO I HEAR NEW BWG?
