So far the only decks that seem to struggle most in the coming format is going to be Red and Green. I get you can suspend stuff.. but man the removal is extremely limiting on opponent's turn.

Of course! I have to give credit to the inspiration ;)

@@DIGI-PANDA 😭🙌

I agree with you on all accounts! I think Kosuke COULD be utilized, my only concern is because of the format largely being armor, there comes the issues of Armor Purge. Meaning if you attack into something even with more DP they can just purge and no checks happen. That's my only reason for not utilizing Kosuke - because in some match ups the piercing will not do anything. The builds I post are typically builds that I've been tinkering with and experimenting with the overall results. They aren't perfect by any means and I want to help players establish a foundation before tinkering!

@@DIGI-PANDA ok I can see what you mean by that and I understand now why more of the bt9 alphamon cause de-digivole could shut down alot of the armor purging Digimon

@@kyubi427 Right on the money! But when it comes to Magnamon X... there's not a whole lot you can do there. More than likely, they'll block the big swings and armor purge.

Unfortunately, when you mention New Dorugamon, my mind is on BT16. That being said, I think I understood you meant BT13. Congratulations though on your placement!

​@@DIGI-PANDAI actually did think that. It's cheaper at 5 cost compared to the first Dorugamon, and another way to send Ouryu to trash if needed.

@@DarkusFireBlaze3582 That's fair! I did get tunnel vision for awhile trashing Ouryumon but with BT13 Dorugreymon, Ouryumon is hilarious!

But.. it says Alphamon!

@@DIGI-PANDA yeah, and i didn't read that lol

It's not perfect by any means, but it is a fun element to incorporate. I felt in some regards with some players discussing that they lost out on a level 3, this does also help rebuild the stack and the protoform is searchable via Cool Boy.

Agreed! One other dilemma I found was that the Dorugreymon doesn't cheat up to a Royal Knight but only Beast Dragon, Undead and SOC. More limiting factors.

@DIGI-PANDA fingers crossed they try doing that for Reptiledramon and Grademon, I guess.

Luckily, it should be fairly cheap!

I hadn't been using it is the thing - most of the time it was Sunarizamon. But I can see the justification now.

My apologies. You are correct. The only card that can plus you in this deck now is going to be Cool Boy.

@@DIGI-PANDA You're good man. I hear it a lot from other players too and I'm like "That's not how that works. . . ."

Very linear in build style. I think it may have issues with the release of Magnamon X.

Lot of fun elements to this! Lichi's deck is definitely a great baseline to start with and tinker.

Me waiting for the next DeathXmon to play itself for free while your opponent has a level 6 Digimon with X-Antibody in its traits in play.

The most you'll even change is the Dorumon from BT16. But even then, it's not absolutely necessary because I don't think Kosuke is necessary for the deck. Meaning in essence you're just going for the extra bling from BT13 Dorumon.

Just a a little over a short month away.

On a personal level, if you're spending your first couple of turns looking for a rookie, you're in trouble. And moving into BT16 and beyond, there's just so much your opponent can do with deleting, DP reducing or bouncing your level 4. Chances are it's not going to stick. Even watching Lichi's build in action during Ultimate Cup there were noticeable instances where he was missing the rookie to start his entire chain. With only 8 rookies in your deck, you have a 59.9% chance to draw at least one in your opening hand. A mulligan increases this to 83.9%. With 10 rookies, you have a 68.9% chance to draw one in the opening hand, and 90% with a mulligan. At the bare minimum. I would run at least 10. In regards to trainings and Cool Boys, you can absolutely run these at higher counts. Notably, I don't see too many players on the protoform play. But in regards to Yuji, this one's a definitive no in my book because while this provides combat tricks to tuck another source, the BT13 Dorugreymon has you covered at end of turn. Because while the combat trick can be nice, the ultimate flaw in my mind is you have to either play this tamer or hope it's hit in security. This card does not provide searches like Cool Boy which is why I'm against it.

@@DIGI-PANDA Yuji exists as a means to end a game in that turn, not wait around. You gain so much memory that putting a yuji on field after resolving an ouryuken to guarantee a third swing by tucking an ouryu from hand is huge. Also helps justify running the ryudamons. Not to mention if you can drop it early, you get +1 mem and an extra card when you push. That can be huge with retaining turn so you aren't forced to burn your end of turn extensions in less optimal situations. I think yuji is a card you run one of, and if you have enough gas you will have gone through about 80% of your deck by the time you are lining up your kill shot. As far as hard droppimg 4 costs, yes it's not ideal. But if you have a mem boost out you can still make it work and get up to a dorugrey to have a form of protection active. Also, no kongou or ultimate flare means you will die to the swarms of d police, numemon, and red hybrid. Even if it's just slotted as a one of it can save you in those matchups.

@@steveng6721 I also want to stress that deck profiles on the channel are to provide foundation of the deck along with tech choices that I've been testing. They aren't the gospel of perfect decks to play by any means. You can choose to adjust your ratios how you see fit along with your tech choices.

Welcome back to the wombo combos!

Sadly not. Because the protection of magna x lasts until your of turn effects are over, so both effects are overlapping.

Sadly not. magna x protection ends after all of YOUR end of turn effects have been used. So your devolve end of turn with new dorugrey and BT9 alpha whiffs against magna x. But you don't really need it anyways. With zubagon and 16k base dp ouryuken, magna x can't push through :)

What's up with the 2 invisible comments? Can't even read them.

They're invisible? I can read them fine. It just mentions that protection of Magnamon X lasts until end of your turn effects are over so both are overlapping. Meaning it whiffs.

@@DIGI-PANDA Ahhh that is a massive tragedy... Thanks for letting me know!

You can use it for the cycling of cards. I didn't because of the fact that I have some Ryudamons for searching.. and that would cost 3 for Dorugamon.

Overall, when I was testing the BT16 elements of Dorumon, Dorugamon and Dorugreymon, they don't offer anything that I really liked. I explain why I did not run them in the end and ultimately Protoform was the most interesting find for me. You can sacrifice some consistency to get rid of Ryudamon for Dorumon. But the new Dorugamon is best utilized IF and ONLY IF you utilize a tamer with the SOC trait. Kosuke Kisakata in my mind isn't necessary and the 3 memory is ok but comparatively to Cool Boy, Cool Boy is better. One more quick edit: While Kosuke does give piercing and you could argue this is valuable for Alphamon, remember the format will largely be filled with armor related Digimon and piercing does not trigger with Armor purge.

@@DIGI-PANDA if anything just replace BT13 Dorumon with BT16 Doru for the bling. xD

@@ArcJamneel Pretty much ha ha. I just left it alone because there's no purpose for it if you don't run Kousuke and you're not running purple option cards either, so in terms of cost BT13 Dorumon still works.
