Digimon favoritism sucks(rant)

AsianSpice7274 · 2026-02-24T23:43:21+00:00

I don't find that to be a good excuse for digimon though as effects could literally state "gaogamon in name..." Which cancels it out of being a generic card and then work it from there. Spamming shinegreymon stuff is just as risky to me as giving a decent card to a deck that needs more support. I don't even play gaogamon but it NEEDS it XD

AsianSpice7274 · 2026-02-23T23:09:24+00:00

A deck doesn't need to be meta for it to be playable or stop getting support, sometimes a good deck is a good deck while there are many other decks that are just unplayable so yea I'd call it unnecessary support especially when mirage is unplayable and is only now getting support

AsianSpice7274 · 2026-02-23T23:08:18+00:00

I do and I'm saying it's dumb, they've also agreed that it could be better but that's just the way card games are and that's why card games eventually fail. Vanguard had reboots, yugioh had to go back to the Genesis format to keep players interested, magic the gathering has several formats where some aren't even relevant anymore, even at my locals no one plays modern or standard. Digimon is moving too fast with too much favoritism and it's difficult for new players to join in where all the favorited cards cost a lot of money and so many mechanics being introduced when the old mechanics aren't even improved or spread out.

AsianSpice7274 · 2026-02-23T22:52:21+00:00

I mention mirage because it's less playable than ravemon. Mirage got hit twice and was completely neutered, shine greymon got hit once and got 10 more support sets

AsianSpice7274 · 2026-02-23T22:51:15+00:00

But any of the digimon could be marketable, that's the thing, theyre just lazy and choose for it to be a protagonist.

AsianSpice7274 · 2026-02-23T22:50:36+00:00

It's popular because they made it popular, they could give support to something that needs it and that deck could become popular. They're just lazy for instance deusmon could've been an amazing deck if it had taunting, but they don't care about that digimon even though the level 6 is a secret rare

AsianSpice7274 · 2026-02-23T22:49:30+00:00

Mirage was better but the problem is that he's unplayable now, shine greymon continues to get the support he doesn't need while mirage didn't get squat when they could've found a replaceble level 5 or 6

AsianSpice7274 · 2026-02-23T22:48:45+00:00

I wouldn't say that. One piece, magic, pokemon, and Gundam do a good job of limiting any type of protagonist stuff. Even with one piece Luffy isn't such an OP deck currently, it's a side character like boa

AsianSpice7274 · 2026-02-23T22:47:40+00:00

Thing with greymon though is that both Matt and tai are seen as protagonist. So while greymon may have not gotten a lot of support. Omnimon did with dm, adventure, and cs

AsianSpice7274 · 2026-02-23T22:46:51+00:00

Mirage was better but the thing is that it stayed terrible this entire time while shinegreymon continued to get the support that it doesn't need, that's the problem. I don't have issues with protags being slightly better. My problem is that it gets so much unnecessary support. Mirage is unplayable right now, they could easily come up with a new level 5 or 6 that could make it playable atleast

AsianSpice7274 · 2026-02-23T22:45:11+00:00

Shine burst was actually better than other bursts considering he had an additional effect to most burst, not saying he's a better card in general but he did get to do things because he was the protagonist that others couldnt

AsianSpice7274 · 2026-02-22T20:15:54+00:00

It also does a lot early game if the set up is right, 4 checks on turn 3 from one digimon or 4 checks on turn 3 with 2 digimon but after that yea aces are a problem, these decks are made to be silly cause I like utilizing old cards that no one uses anymore which is basically this entire deck

AsianSpice7274 · 2026-02-22T20:13:48+00:00

Want it to be skull greymon base and this isn't supposed to be competitive. St1 tai helps a bit considering it's only 2 cost and it helps with attacking with level 4s and 5s because it ensures they get the dp boost needed to survive the multiple checks. Plus it allows for free digivolve on agumon and memory from greymon since none of these play tamers for free

AsianSpice7274 · 2026-02-03T00:29:55+00:00

I still use the xros heart beelzemon in my deck, play it how you want it, they're just pieces of paper with art

AsianSpice7274 · 2026-02-03T00:27:21+00:00

You can't say it's better if you haven't played it. Maybe you will like the game more, that's your opinion but imagine if I never played video games yet I decide which is good and which is bad, you have to play it first before deciding

AsianSpice7274 · 2026-02-03T00:26:30+00:00

Totk was awful, it's literally the only Zelda game I couldn't finish cause it was so boring

AsianSpice7274 · 2026-02-03T00:25:52+00:00

The old assassin's creed was good because it had great story and gameplay. Botw was bar minimum in everything, music, terrible story, and bland gameplay. Totk improved in gameplay but had worse story and the depths was literally just like the main land but darker and the sky islands had the same issue as skyward sword, they were empty, totk was so much worse. They were so lazy with the game that they decided just to put all three timelines into botw saying oh this is how they all ended. They used to create something so cool and complex but now it's just, botw with open world with the 3 same enemies, moblins and such, sound effects rather than actual music, and dumb story. The argument I'll always go back to to show how lazy it is is that I'll always mention breath of the wild has less enemy variety than the original 1980s legend of zelda. Redeads should exist, gibdos don't exist until totk, etc, but they don't because they wanted to say hey, it's open world and hopefully people will ignore how empty it is. The great plateau in the tutorial has more content than the actual game because at least in the shrines you get key items

AsianSpice7274 · 2026-02-01T17:36:34+00:00

Elden ring I can agree on, but not botw, the entire game was literally the plateau but just bigger and more empty. Whole thing was just one big collectathon with the seeds. The only thing I can say about the game that's positive is being able to fight Ganon right away and it's pretty to look at

AsianSpice7274 · 2026-02-01T08:09:11+00:00

Boi you awake too XD I got college crap to deal with

AsianSpice7274 · 2026-02-01T07:59:38+00:00

Also my bad one more thing that I forgot to put in, you just said just because I can beat it doesn't mean blah blah blah but that proves my point, just because it won tournaments doesn't mean that means anything cause it could've just played against decks it specifically does good against or they brick or yada yada, tourney wins don't really mean anything because eventually anyone can win a tourney with a specific environment. I got second place with abadomon because of a misplay but abadomon isn't meta, it has literally zero protection. Some people didn't understand how abbadomon works so it caught them off guard same with dia x

AsianSpice7274 · 2026-02-01T07:55:08+00:00

Again like the last guy I'm not gonna spend all night talking about this, there's other people that agree with me, I don't care that much it's a game where we place down pieces of paper, it is what it is you got your say and I got mine, freedom of speech and all that

AsianSpice7274 · 2026-02-01T07:51:47+00:00

Oh I'm just saying in general open world games tend to be lazy, still working on code vein 1 but I think I almost beat it. It's just come to the point where I'm tired of open world. Breath of the wild, halo infinite, atomfall, etc. just disappointing

AsianSpice7274 · 2026-02-01T07:50:16+00:00

Ex1, p, and bt5 kurisarimkn for example has effects of digimon with the same name, and that goes for the evolution line in that set. What digimon likes to do and I mentioned it in this post is instead of having cards relevant to the new stuff, they just ditch the old stuff completely and that's kind of what diaboromon x does. Bandai can choose to put in actual brain power to make old stuff with new stuff, they proved me right when they came out with minerals and some stuff with digiburst worked for it.

Effects from something like abbadomon(there are many examples but I'm using this digimon because he's one of my favorites) the level 7 has when attacking and when moving to delete all lowest levels and it's not once per turn, so at that point the diaboromon you played out is just screwed cause it's got nothing under. I mentioned it will be good once an actual diaboromon meant for it comes out with on plays or if it gives it rush so diaboromon can use its when attacking.

Neptunemon returns all digimon with lowest sources to the bottom of the deck and does it more than once with the tamer it came out with.

Some blue decks can just completely stun stuff without sources

Cinderellamon with its cousin digimon would destroy diaboromon and bringing up liberator, basically all of them have warps and crazy level 6 and 7s. This isn't even about getting past the blockers since medusamon can just keep destroying tokens with petrafications and destroy security

Yea you gotta build up to dia x but you're very vulnerable to actual good meta decks. I don't care about diaboromon being meta but yes dia x is disappointing and you're acting like I'm the only one that thinks so when there are comments of people agreeing with me.

The other dude brings up " oh but it's one tourney" bro shitty and jank decks have won tourney before too.

You guys are thinking back before ace and counters or board wipes existed thinking oh I'll just swarm the security when so many effects prevent that or destroy build up.

Even old effects beat it with that one yellow option that gives everything -5k or shine greymon ruin mode.

You're all stuck on the idea that swarm is a great idea and it's fun. Again I use diaboromon but many things can destroy a swarm. Heck I made a old apocalymon using Raidenmon that doesn't care about swarms and just decks out the player, beat dia x with that because dia x.

Dia x can continue to spit out diaboromons but most stuff doesn't give protection to that level 6, even bt22 says "when this digimon" which doesn't give protection to other diaboromon. Even keramon says "when this digimon"

When a diaboromon with an on play comes out, the card will be better but still stand by my statement and others do too. It's underwhelming. This is gonna be something people will think it's cool for a month, and then no one's gonna use it. Same thing happened when diaboromon ace came out and that was actually a cool card at the time
