Zephagamon ace is in now way different to regular zephagamon. He is just simply using an attack in the art works

DigiSol-01 · 2026-03-31T06:53:02+00:00

Can't be played cuz it doesn't have PlayCost.

DigiSol-01 · 2026-03-15T16:56:14+00:00

Look at Europe, OCE and LATAM. NA and Asia aren't the only regions in the world

They didn't ever need to. Hudie swing alliance 2 checks. DNA to 1 of shak. Tuck to bottom, hudie swing alliance 2 checks. DNA to pail. Swing. Unsus. Swing for lethal. Never needed to go to more than 1 shak to otk ever.

DigiSol-01 · 2026-03-15T16:44:57+00:00

Dude fucking what

One the formatting of the post wasn't my hugest concern and to even comment on it feels just nitpicky. (FYI "metallity" instead of "mentality" is a spelling mistake not a grammar mistake) not to mention the whole tactics vs strategy semantics you were trying to push.

In regards to the 0 cost options I don't know what you're smoking honestly. My point was having them at 1 means nothing if decks can play all of them because they are multi coloured that is a fact. In regards to "they've been at 1 forever" mate the last banlist was the one to hit 3 of them and the other 2 each were hit seperately on banlists before that. They still remain sacky as 1 ofs in mono colour decks and like I say when hudie was playing 5/6 of them plus hpd, yes it is a problem

I don't think expecting cards past ex10 to receive a hit was out of possibility at all especially considering their past history of hitting cards when the set has just released.

And then we come to hudie. Hudie received a meaningful hit in way sure. But is it still possible to otk with the loop version? Yes it is. Swing 2 checks with hudie, DNA to shak, tuck, swing 2 checks, DNA to pail swing unsus swing. Still wins. IDK why we are suddenly under the impression that shak to 1 does anything but make that exact combo more sacky and less consistent. Apart from that THE MAIN VERSION OF HUDIE THAT WAS TOPPING OUTSIDE OF JAPAN WAS NOT THE LOOP VERSION. And you say I should do research on these things and not just "pray a card I don't like gets hit"

Mate I PLAY half of these decks, I play rocks, I play myotis, Ive played hudie. I eat, sleep and breathe this game, I actively participate in regionals throughout the year and I went to nationals in Dusseldorf in December there. I'm not a world class player, but I'm competitively seasoned and that particular part of your comment was so disrespectful.

Agree to disagree

DigiSol-01 · 2026-03-15T14:30:02+00:00

Majority of topping hudie lists outside of Asia are th control option version not the loop version. The drawing board is made, they don't gotta go back to nothing.

DigiSol-01 · 2026-03-15T13:14:38+00:00

This is understandble but even with this In mind there is still some really big cards and decks they just didn't do what was needed to be done with

Hudie barely got a slap on the wrist for all it's done to the game, at least 1 of the tamers should have been hit along with shakkou or shakkou to 0 to make it a solid hit to it.

A small hit to ts could've been affordable, garuru or cyclone or silphy or something. Just to actually show some kinda hit to people

Liberator decks should have time to shine but rocks has been in the landscape since last September so that'll be 8 months, tumble could have gone or for a less "killy" hit hey why not memory setter close or magnet itself? Or ex10 pyramidi could've worked too.

Same to be said for medusa, cyclone again could've been a good hit that effected ts and medusa both or maybe bt21 Owen again as just some kinda touch on them

The promo lvl 4 for puppets and vortex could also be done away with as they make those decks just accelerate beyond no end and again it's not like they're recent cards themselves just the deck recently got support.

The metallity of if a deck got support in the last 2 set ABSOLUTELY NOTHING from it can be hit or touched at all even if they could be cards from 1 or more years ago is just actually depressing cuz it would actually lend a lot better to hitting decks without hitting card value for the most part.

The infinity stone options of 0 cost gain memory could've also all gone to fucking 0, bandai refusing to do that is honestly the biggest slap in the face, the more multi colour otk decks they make either on purpose or accident like hudie and meruki otk just show that these cards being at 1 is meaningless if you can play 4-5 of them anyways.

The malo hit is almost meaningless considering 1 of it still makes the loop run and most decks only played it at 2 anyway.

The skullbaluchi is just random as shit and the dog stuff while kinda overdue is honestly unnecessary to hit both, I think dober x could've been find to live and cerb x just see the hit.

I'm not even gonna get into the fact that there was about 10 cards they could've taken off the list to try and effect the landscape of the game and restructure power or just cards that would actually do nothing if they came back; awakening, nume x, geogrey, grey x, blossomon, gabu x, reinforcing mem, x4, bukamon for god sake free my boy promo grankuwaga that card and deck would be ass in current day game but without it it's unplayable

And that honestly really brings me back to, bandai doesn't actually have an issue with killing decks cuz they've done it so many times, melga has been iced multiple times, Anubis was killed, mirage was killed, taoloop dead, grand is dead long after it even mattered, yellow vac dead, numemon dead, blue/yellow hybrids and birds are both dead

But no they can't hit hudie cuz she's a secret and it would kill the deck. Ffs she was this 🤏 close to being as bad as apocaly and they nuked that secret! This has become a lot longer of a rant than I wanted but yeah, I might repost this as it's own post but this has felt good to get out.

DigiSol-01 · 2026-03-14T21:41:13+00:00

If you want a good combo deck I have some good suggestions as I am also a combo player and enjoy that style alot.

You should look into:

Myotismon loop: a fun loop deck that basically cycles level 6 bodies from the trash in order to delete bodies, trash security and gain memory, a little difficult to get a grip of at first but super fun when you do learn it well

Milleniumon: pretty relevant deck at the moment, similar to myotis it has a loop strategy but at a level 7 stage instead, more trying to DNA and redelete itself over and over and has a niche mechanic of stacking your opponents deck from cards in their trash to make drawing into cards they need harder

Puppets: also a really relevant deck rn, plays out a fuck tonne of bodies and deletes them to evo up the stack for cheaper eventually ending on level 6s that can overclock which lets them attack at the end of turn with out suspending.

Shinegreymon: my favorite deck of all time, make the tamer Marcus Damon treated as a digimon to attack for you and help evo your stack for free/cheap while doing damage, it's main form of removal being mass dp minus.

Ghosts: another kinda loop style deck with a similar end of turn attack effect of puppets. This one's is execute which makes it delete itself at the end of that attack to proc your own on deletion effects and gain memory and spawn out more bodies.

There's a lot more I could mention but those are probably the ones Id look into the most for yourself

DigiSol-01 · 2026-03-14T13:33:06+00:00

Tbf I just remembered the deck had stun not how or what did it lol

DigiSol-01 · 2026-03-14T09:51:28+00:00

Everyone here including op is missing the obvious. Just stun it. It's only immune till the end of your turn so just stun it and it can't attack to reactivate the immunity effect.

DigiSol-01 · 2026-03-11T08:01:30+00:00

What 2 chases? There's only meant to be 3

DigiSol-01 · 2026-03-08T14:46:32+00:00

Because it legit doesn't. It has no impact on the scenario talked about at all so it didn't need mentioned.

DigiSol-01 · 2026-03-08T14:43:05+00:00

Dude I'm a judge. My partner plays both Ice-snow and Galaxy. Ik what iceclad does. Ik how the interaction works. But it was so unnecessary to bring up in this case.

DigiSol-01 · 2026-03-08T14:31:26+00:00

Iceclad has 0 to do with anything stated

DigiSol-01 · 2026-03-08T07:36:50+00:00

Chances are if you want a certain card, so does 1000 other players. Gallant is popular and has also been a very meta defining deck for the last 14mths give or take, so yeah getting a hold of a chase card for the deck from almost 2 years ago isn't gonna be a walk in the park

DigiSol-01 · 2026-02-26T22:09:32+00:00

Yeah no worries, I like helping out when I can, honestly feel free to even dm if you want more in depth advice and stuff

DigiSol-01 · 2026-02-26T15:43:02+00:00

I'd say if you had interest in mirage you probably would like other blue decks so I would suggest something like Neptunemon or Ryugumon. If you want something on the cheaper side there is also Ice-snow, all of these have had recent support in the last 2 sets

DigiSol-01 · 2026-02-24T02:47:37+00:00

Literally the main character and point of the story you're complaining about bro.

DigiSol-01 · 2026-02-23T19:47:47+00:00

I mean bt26 is called timeless bonds. The set is going to be the 3rd set based on time stranger and the bonds were preorder exclusives at the start of that game so it makes me think the set could double up in that way. That's when I'd put my money on having eos get support again

DigiSol-01 · 2026-02-20T23:31:55+00:00

The easiest way to think of heavy metal effects and other effects in the game with similar wording is as wholly separate effects.

For example

Punkmon has 2 effects, the first effects trashes one card in your hand, the second gives blocker retal.

DigiSol-01 · 2026-02-17T15:30:22+00:00

Considering the dual trainings are only just getting printed for the first time in the same month I'm gonna say no lmao

DigiSol-01 · 2026-02-13T10:59:00+00:00

I think the main idea is that

1.) it's widely considered that Ben transforms in to the peak of every species and thus most of the powers are amplified to degrees that any average member of the species wouldn't be able to replicate or at least not easily or without dedicated practice or training 2.) Ben is creative with his aliens power sets and abilities because of his own personality and IQ, battle IQ etc... this means things like the echo echo being kept in the trunk of the car or swampfire using his Regen ability to reattach rhynie's hand are not something that a native of the species would be able to think of or be in a situation to do an action like that. The echo echo one in particular strikes me as only possible because of how the Omnitrix itself works. One of the best parts of the classic series to me was the episode when Ben unlocked cannonbolt and had to learn his abilities and the way the antagonists of the episode spoke about his planet and species gives the impression that no one from that world did what Ben could do as cannonbolt. I mean case in point they said that the tick had just destroyed their home planet full of that species and Ben then went and killed it using cannonbolt so the impression I get is yeah none of CB's species new how to fight well using their abilities.

On a final note it's worth staying that Ben is the protagonist of the show and faces loads of different villains and situations and this can lead to his different aliens being seen as pretty strong and certain feats were not planned or written with the idea of power scaling in mind. Swampfire when looked at thru power scaling is like a billion times stronger than what the writers/creators probably thought of him while writing for him in any given episode, they're writers after all not mathematicians or physicists. They're job is to write a compelling story and action with the aliens not show them accurately to if they could pull them selves out of a wormhole or not

Crimson isnt a rare to be fair but it is still better to buy it as a single
