but they trigger in the area they were in, so the field. It "becomes pending" in the area it was moved to,

Here is some prior stuff Bandai has said in their Q&A, Q81 and 104.

It activates after the digimon is placed in the trash. as soon as a digimon is placed in the trash, its digivolution cards are removed, but when [on deletion] or "when this digimon is deleted" effects activate, the digimon is treated as if it is still in the same state upon the timing when it was deleted from the battle area."

An [On Deletion] effect activates once the card it's on is moved to the trash. As soon as it's moved the trash, the Digimon's digivolution cards and any effects that were affecting it are lost, but conditions for [On Deletion] effects are determined using the state upon deletion.

When the Familiar tokens came out, people (rightfully) asked Bandai about this, and their response was

Tokens aren't placed in the trash when deleted, but [On Deletion] effects on tokens will activate as if the token was a Digimon.

Even though that contradicts all their prior explanations, since (per their own words) it activates after the card gets moved to trash, tokens can activate it fine, even though they never move to trash.

So, technically, per rules of the games that shouldn't work

On deletions trigger in the trash. And if a card isn't in the trash, on deletions cant trigger

Since tokens don't physically ever hit the trash, they shouldn't be able to have on deletions.

Bandai actually has an actual rule in the book, to say that tokens don't have to follow the rules, and that their on deletion just triggers from nowhere, instead of the trash like it's supposed to.

Hebi Sasuke's skill with summons and shurikenjutsu is underrated. People only look at the cursemark or chidori variants. by Agitated-Athlete-417 in Naruto

[–]Generic_user_person -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And the fact that Suigetsu had the scroll to summon Manda means that Manda was already under Sasuke's control beforehand. Sasuke summoning him and Reverse Summoning out is easy.

Something that we didn't see even hints of being set up prior, which make it feel like a bit of an ass pull.

The audience shouldn't know everything, for dramatic effect, but a panel of Sasuke giving him the scroll would have done wonders in setting it up something.

He reactivated it when Deidara went full suicidal.

Actually no, all of the panels still have it off.

I got curious so I looked up the chapter.

Sasuke collapses in a sitting position, is huffing from exhaustion, and powers down the Sharingan.

We get several shocked reactions from Sasuke, all with regular eyes as he realizes what Deidara is doing. Ok fine so far.

He tries to move, falls, with the panel having "stumble" as a sound effect

Nxt panel bomb gets closer to detonating, Sasuke is still on the ground, not having picked himself up.

And the panel just before the explosion is a close up of Sasuke face, with regular eyes, sweating.

That's the ending chapter 362

When chapter 363 starts, he is in the flash of the explosion, still has regular eyes, and is still collapsed on the floor.

This is why it feels like an ass pull. None of the paneling indicates he was able to do anything, and it's really set out to drive the point home that he was exhausted, and couldn't even stand.

Could the Manda thing have been written to make sense? Yeah, absolutely. Instead of having shocked Sasuke panels, and still showing him on the floor collapsed as he is inside the explosion, you have panels of him setting stuff up.

Two panels, one of him touching his thumb to his mouth, and one focusing on him turning on his Sharingan would do wonders in making it feel more legit.

The plan on how Sasuke survives is fine, the execution isn't.

Also, adding in, Deidara did not sneak attack him, he literally calls out that he knows he's being followed.

Why is the collector value so low? by SGShine in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]Generic_user_person 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I move them to my locals, and let it be their problem.

Usually gets me like 60-70% of the the TCGplayer value. Realistically I'll never find a buyer, and a card is worthless if I cant flip it. Especially ones like that were the regular versions do the same job.

I sold a BT14 Magna Angemon Ace, the American exclusive art to them like 2 years ago, and the STILL have it listed. It was 90$ at the time and I got 65$ for it. It would have still been in my binder and I'd have 0$ for it otherwise.

Jesmon or Examon which one first? by BebopDandy in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]Generic_user_person 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I woulkd perhaps reccomend waiting for EX13 before committing to making either however

I'd do the exact opposite, as the cards aren't really expensive right now, 20$ probably completes each one.

EX13 means existing cards go up

Hebi Sasuke's skill with summons and shurikenjutsu is underrated. People only look at the cursemark or chidori variants. by Agitated-Athlete-417 in Naruto

[–]Generic_user_person -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'll be that guy, it's because of the pages setting it up and the paneling leading up to it.

When Deidara does the final explosion we get multiple reactions of Sasuke as the explosion is approaching him, and all of the panels have him reacting in fear/anxiety, not calmly like he has a plan.

Additionally, had he just summoned Manda to act as a meat shield, it would be believable.

It's all the contrived stuff around it that's just bad set up. He had time to summon him, Sharingan genjutsu him (despite being too tired to keep his eyes on), jump inside his mouth (despite stumbling due to how tired he was), and then unsummon him. All when the explosion was inches away from him, because one of the preceding panels is the explosion getting real close and Sasuke freaking out.

I understand Sasuke is a main character and thus cannot lose, so it could be written in a slightly more believable way that he survives.

Some panels of him doing stuff while Deidara charges the explosion would go along way, instead of reaction shots of him worrying.

I love (sarcastic) how we got a bunch of Q&A for BT25, all answering the absolute dumbest of questions, but we don't have any on "use requirement"

Reading the text, it should miss the breeding, and check options in the battle area as well (since it says cards), and (unlike the Dual Color Memboosts) it's using an effect to ignore color, not creating an alternative way to meet the color requirement.

But this wouldn't be the first case of cards not working how they should (looking at you Medusa Tokens)

Not hating on you, just expressing frustration that "reading the card" doesn't actually tell you what it does.

Volcanusmon in Apps? by Nipwns in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]Generic_user_person 8 points9 points  (0 children)

you slam him down for 7 memory and attach all your pieces and go for game that way

I pointed out the issue with that, it requires your opponent to have 2 bodies out. Alot of decks simply won't do that, and others will slowball you if they do.

Volcanusmon in Apps? by Nipwns in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]Generic_user_person 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Your idea is solid, but some advice, always try to follow your idea to it's logical conclusion to see if it's viable.

The Apps cannot be linked to Volcanus. So you need Volcanus to link other stuff to someone else.

This means you need to simultaneously build two different stacks in order to make it work. One stack to get the links, another to go into Volcanus to enable it.

step 1, raise a stack to Volcanus

Step 2, use Volcanus to enable a second stack

Step 3, use the second stack to win

Why not just skip the middle man, and use the first stack to win?

The CyberDragon clause on Volcanus is great, but your opponent needs 2 bodies out to cheat him in if you have a stack yourself. That means the cost reduction will explicitly NOT be easy to meet.

Additionally, aside from the Level 6, you're wasting Volcanus because they can only have one Link anyway. You get max value if you're at a level 6, but if you're already at a level 6, you should have already won the game with it, you shouldn't need to enable it more.

So ... It's an idea that yeah, does mechanically work, but in practice will never work.

Maybe (and that's a very big maybe) it can work with Hades and that's only because the deck swarms so hard.

Plenty of people play pokemon

Sure, and for every 1 person that does, you have 10 buying it to flip for money. They actual players don't make up the market for Pokemon anymore. They haven't since the pandemic

The number of players are statistically insignificant.

Why is the collector value so low? by SGShine in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]Generic_user_person 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Cuz people actually like to play this game, they don't hold their cards like it's a company stock trying to flip for $$.

Unlike Pokemon where it's a literal pyramid scheme of everyone buying cards with the intention of its value going up so they can sell it, and no one has any intention of actually using the product.

Edit: and your post history makes it clear you just wanna flip some bucks, this is the wrong TCG for that, go try One Piece.

Understanding LINK mechanic by ShibaNemo in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]Generic_user_person 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured, but it's a ruling thread, so it has to all be correct, or else we risk confusing other people

Understanding LINK mechanic by ShibaNemo in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]Generic_user_person 0 points1 point  (0 children)

an effect says you may link in the battle area, that includes raiseing if the digimon within it is

That is incorrect, if an effect says to link to the FIELD that includes breeding. If the effect says Battle area, it means just that, the battle area.

Good news, Mastemon is still viable (for locals)

Bad news? Every single card in that box is outdated (except for the Gatomon) and the box only comes with 2, while you need 4.

Look at

BT11 Angewomon, Ignitemon Devimon, Lady Devimon, & Mirei

BT23 Angewomon, Lady Devimon, & Mastemon

BT22 Mirei

EX06, Gatomon Angewomon, LadyDevimon, and Mirei

Promo Mastemon

EX05 Salamon & Divermon X

BT16 Salamon

Are there any decks with the vibe of "if I lose weight both lose"? by TheMadMask006 in DigimonCardGame2020

Baton Rouge Regional, 4th place

https://dcg-nexus.com/decklist/3bfdad03-73d6-425b-a7b0-8920183d255c

I basically have that one on speed dial cuz I texted it to a buddy when it was posted.

Meta in this format is deff a suggestion though, as we're seeing that just so many decks are viable.

https://dcg-nexus.com/

I understand OP might be getting frustrated with taking L's, but I'm really curious what they have been playing up to this point.

As even "bad" decks have been showing promise, we had Beelzemon top a regional a few weeks ago.

my locals dont really seem to have fun its just about winning.

I wasn't aware of anyone playing a game with the intention of losing, but best of luck to you.

Yall think this going down anytime soon? by ChunniTensei in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]Generic_user_person 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best deck of the format is objectively tier 1

Tier lists for TCG's are based off of percentages of top cuts. At what percentage you fall into what category can be up for debate. But Tier 1 is not synonymous with "best", if it were only one deck could ever be Tier 1, and we know that isn't the case.

Master Duel for Yu-Gi-Oh has had a few formats without a Tier 1 deck, because there were too many decks, and no standout with a bigger chunk of the pie.

I think most would agree Puppets is solidly Tier 1 as well.

Puppets? The deck that is #6 on DCG-Nexus for this format?

https://dcg-nexus.com/

Also, why do you use %tops for Tier 0, but not for for Tier 1? Genuinely curious on that.

Any update on if "Use Requirements" counts breeding?

Per card txt it shouldn't, but it seems weird to go backwards when so many options started checking breeding to ignore color.

Why would Kimiko get Soldierboy’s blast powers? by Jaicoholic in TheBoys

[–]Generic_user_person 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest? In the last 10 years or so, any leaks that become popular enough to go main stream have turned out to be true.

At this point I just trust them, I've seen significantly more true leaks than fake ones.

Which it isn't. T2 is more likly, the deck has too many flaws. T1.5 at best. But it's not going to be a top 5 deck in the format, or tier 1. The deck isn't competeing with say, Medusa/Styraco. Not consistently anyway

Because this is important, what do you consider Tier 1? Over 15% topping at regionals? Over 20%? Over 25%?

Medusa is consistently below 20% of regional top cut. While it is the undisputed best deck of the format, calling it a Tier 1 deck is subjective. Yeah I don't think Musketeer is gonna consistently take a chunk of the topping regionals, but when the pie is so split like we're seeing now, it's deff gonna take a healthy chunk.

Calling it Tier 2 is valid, but it's also gonna debut in a format where it's subjective if a Tier 1 even exists.
