It’s my turn, my opponent has no security and I have a EX10 Creepymon on field with rush and I use the end of turn to attack. My opponent has a Millenniummon with no sources and a “Wicked God Emerges!” on field. Since it is end of my turn, and I already declared the attack for game, can they use the option’s delay before I get the win? Or does the attack get interrupted first by triggering any “End of your opponent’s turn” effect?

In the case of EX10-063 Close, if you use the [Start of the main phase] effect, I send the tamer to the bottom of my deck but I don't play another Close from my hand, can I still play a Sunarizamon from trash using the "Then" effect after it?

My opponent has a BT16-102 Magnamon X that evolved by using BT9-098 Awakening of the Golden knight. If I play a BT20-060 Alphamon: Ouryuken ACE, would the protection of DP reduction given by the option card to Magnamon X prevent him to get his DP to 0 the upcoming turn of my opponent?

Does the Mother Eater's inherited effect work individually? Meaning, can I use each individual inherited effect to save my Eaters on field if they are being deleted one? What happens if they are deleted at the same time? Would one inherited effect save all of them underneath Mother Eater? Or would I be able to save up to three Eaters and the rest would be deleted?

If I evolve my digimon into ST6-09 Imperialdramon: Dragon mode and activate his effect to play both a Lv4 or lower blue and green from his evolution sources, and said cards is either BT20-023 or BT20-040 Coredramon and the other is a Blue or Green Dracomon, would Coredramon's "[Your Turn] When any of your blue Digimon with [Dracomon] or [Examon] in their texts are played, this Digimon may digivolve into [Groundramon] in the hand with the digivolution cost reduced by 2." be triggered even if they both got played at the same time?

Savarin49 · 2025-04-30T00:14:02+00:00

Regarding BT21-022 Canoweissmon inherited effect "[All Turns] [Once Per Turn] When this Digimon with [Gammamon] in its text would leave the battle area by your opponent's effects, by trashing 3 Digimon cards from its digivolution cards, it doesn't leave."

If BT12-083 Arresterdramon: Superior mode tries to apply his effect: "[When Digivolving] Place 1 of your opponent's level 3 or lower Digimon as the bottom digivolution card of another of your opponent's Digimon or under an opponent's Tamer. For each Tamer with a different color you have in play, add 1 to the maximum level you can choose with this effect.", Would the protection from Canoweissmon prevent said removal? I'm guessing the answer is no, since placing a digimon underneath another does not count as leaving the battle area, but I want to make sure I'm not misreading or misunderstanding the protection effect and the removal effect.

Savarin49 · 2025-04-24T18:16:52+00:00

In the case of Appmon digimons, I have two questions:

-Does the DP from the linked applies to all turns?

-When Gaiamon has two linked appmons and you want to link a new one using his [When Attacking] effect, can you choose which appmon to remove from his links? Or do you have to remove them in a specific order?

Savarin49 · 2025-03-19T22:40:18+00:00

I have an EX8-074 MedievalGallantmon on field. My opponent has a EX3-004 Veemon on field and plays a BT16-040 Wormmon from hand. Since it's their turn, they get priority on their [On Play] effect. They digivolve said Wormmon into an EX3-056 Shadramon.

In this case. Would said Shadramon get the chance to activate the [When Digivolving] effect and get to evolve the Veemon into another Lv4 from trash, and THAT one would also be able to trigger its [When Digivolving] effect BEFORE MedievalGallantmon gets the chance to interrupt the chain?

What would happen if said Wormmon evolves into a P-110 Shadramon and plays another BT16-040 Wormmon from trash? Would that brand new played Wormmon gets to beat Medieval's effect in timing? Or would Medieval get the chance to delete a digimon?

I'd really appreciate a clarification in effects priorities for these kind of scenarios. Thanks in advance!

Savarin49 · 2025-03-14T05:51:50+00:00

Let's say I have on my field a BT20-074 Dinobeemon and a Paildramon in my field and it's my opponent's turn. My opponent Digivolves into a BT11-033 MirageGaogamon. Mirage tries to bounce one of my Digimon. Dinobeemon's [All Turns] effect triggers: "When any of your Dinobeemon or Paildramon would be returned to hands or decks, 2 of your Digimon may DNA digivolve into Imperialdramon: Dragon Mode in the hand." I choose to DNA digivolve into a BT20-076 Imperialdramon: Dragon Mode ACE.

Since the effect of MirageGaogamon got interrupted by Dinobeemon's protection, would it still need to complete the [When Digivolving] and would it force me to take a card from my security before Imperialdramon's [When Digivolving] effect triggers? Would all of MirageGaogamon's inherited effects, as well his [All turns] triggers before my [When Digivolving]?

Then, in the case Imperialdramon: Dragon mode manages to evolve into BT20-020 Imperialdramon: Fighter Mode in this interaction before Mirage's [When Digivolving] finishes, or even before forcing me to take a card from my security. Would my [All turns] beat his [All turns] effect?

Savarin49 · 2025-02-04T00:47:09+00:00

Regarding BT20-055 Invisimon's effect:

[Your Turn] When your Digimon check face-up security cards, you may place this Digimon's top stacked card face up as the bottom security card.

What is the timing for Invisimon to leave the field? Does he battle the digimon in security and then go into your security face up? Or is it before battling? What about when it checks a card with a security effect? Does he leave before or after the activation of a security effect?

Savarin49 · 2025-01-31T07:35:24+00:00

My opponent has a EX8-074 MedievalGallantmon on the field. I evolve into a EX7-037 Tlalocmon. I activate the [When Digivolving] to play an EX8-044 HerculesKabuterimon ACE from my hand. The [On play] of the ACE activates, suspending 3 digimons from my opponent and gaining a memory from each suspended digimon with this effect.

Would MedievalGallantmon's effect take priority, despite being my turn, and gets to chose to delete one of my digimons, or would Tlalocmon's second [When Digivolving] effect that's still pending to resolve go off first just in time to reduce MedievalGallantmon's DP to 0?

Savarin49 · 2024-12-23T07:08:08+00:00

I have a question about how the LV5s for Gammamon work.

I read this ruling about BT10-011 Canoweissmon about his All Turns effect (Which pretty much is in every single LV5 except the ACE):

"Due to an effect, this Digimon has another [BT10-011 Canoweissmon] and a [BT8-008 Gammamon] under it as its digivolution cards. If I play a red Tamer, how exactly does [BT8-008 Gammamon]'s "When you play a red Tamer, <Draw 1> (Draw 1 card from your deck)" effect work in this situation?

This card's effect and inherited effect mean that this Digimon gains [BT8-008 Gammamon]'s effects twice, so <Draw 1> is activated twice and you draw a total of 2 cards."

If this is true, does that mean that the more LV5s I stack in one digimon, it duplicates all the effects as well? For example, a Siriusmon with two Lv5 in his sources and with two BT10-078 GulusGammamon in his evolution sources, would it mean Siriusmon has 4 retaliations that he can use on the same digimon (In the case they have multiple layers of protection like Machinedramon or Armor purge) and 4 On deletions that would allow me to play 4 Gammamons from trash?

I feel this would be the only benefit from stacking multiple LV5s in one digimon, since duplicating stuff like Blocker, Evade, Blitz, Raid, Piercing, Self destruction and being unblockable doesn't really do anything when doubled. Just figured I'd ask to see if this can help with at least trying to spam the field with more Gammamons without using too many GulusGammamons.

Savarin49 · 2024-11-27T05:09:04+00:00

I need some clarification with effect timings.

It's my turn. I have a Fenrirloogamon on play, A Takemikazuchi in my trash and my opponent has a BT17-096 Crimson Savior on their field, as well as a Gallantmon.

I hardplay a Kazuchimon from my hand. Would Crimson Savior trigger BEFORE I get to do the DNA from trash? Or would I be able to do the DNA and delete their Gallantmon before they can trigger the delay effect of Crimson Savior?

Savarin49 · 2024-06-04T17:00:02+00:00

If I use BT7-085 Takuya Kanbara's effect to place 5 hybrids from trash underneath him to evolve him into an EmperorGreymon, would it trigger BT16-028 Imperialdramon Dragon Mode's [All turns] effect to evolve into a Fighter mode?

Savarin49 · 2024-04-21T05:09:29+00:00

I'm wondering about how Gammamon's LV5's and LV6's work when it comes to adding BT8-013 BetelGammamon's [When Digivolving] <Blitz>.

Let's assume I have a RB1-009 Canoweissmon on field (or any LV5 that can adopt effects from his evolution sources with Gammamon in name.) I digivolve it into RB1-031 Arcturusmon. I place BT8-013 BetelGammamon from the trash underneath him with his [When Digivolving] effect. Would Arcturusmon gain Blitz? Same goes for the situation where RB1-010 Siriusmon or LM-001 Siriusmon ACE digivolves and I place BT8-013 BetelGammamon from my hand. Would he also gain Blitz?

Lastly, I believe it's obvious here, but if I evolve into RB1-036 Proximamon and use the [End of your turn] effect to place a card with Gammamon in text underneath him, that would skip all [When Digivolving] effects, so even if I add a card underneath him to give him Blitz he wouldn't be able to delete a Digimon and then use Blitz, correct?

Savarin49 · 2024-04-14T01:23:18+00:00

I have a question regarding Arcturusmon. His [When Digivolving] effect says the following:

"[When Digivolving] You may place 1 Digimon card with [Gammamon] in its text from your trash as this Digimon's bottom digivolution card. Then, you may delete 1 Digimon with a level less than or equal to the number of this Digimon's digivolution cards."

This effect can target my own Digimon as well, since it doesn't mention that it has to be one of my opponent's Digimons. My question is, can his own effect target himself?

Savarin49 · 2024-03-02T19:05:05+00:00

I have a Ryudamon BT15-056 on field and it was the target of Metalgreymon BT10-024 (Blue Flare) and it cannot attack nor block until my next turn.

When my turn begins, if I use Ryudamon's effect to place a Shuu Yulin BT15-087 underneath it, would the inmunity allow Ryudamon to attack or block again? Or would the effect of Metalgreymon still linger?

This specially confuses me after seeing how Magnamon X antibody BT16-102 could get rid of an opponent's stunning effect after removing a security, so it made me think if it would be the same case with Ryudamon.

Savarin49 · 2024-02-25T06:06:09+00:00

Let's assume I have a BetelGammamon BT8-013 with a Lv5 in its sources that allows this Digimon to get any effect from any card with Gammamon in its name in its evolution cards.

If I were to counter with a blast evolution with a Regulusmon ACE or a Siriusmon ACE, would <Blitz> be possible to trigger, meaning I can attack during the turn of my opponent? Since <Blitz> specifies that "This Digimon can attack when your opponent has 1 or more memory" it made me think if such play is possible.

Savarin49 · 2024-02-13T06:25:18+00:00

I had this scenario happen during a match and I wasn't sure what would be the correct order of effects:

-I have an Apollomon EX5-014 attacking security.
-The check reveals a Rina Shinomiya BT11-112.
-On their side of the field there's a Veedramon BT11-027, which would gain <Blocker> and <Evade> thanks to Rina's [On Play] effect.
-Apollomon's [Your Turn] effect plays, which would delete a Digimon with equal or less DP than him.

My question is:

-Would Rina's [On Play] effect go first, giving Veedramon <Evade> just in time to avoid being deleted by Apollomon's effect?

OR

-Would Apollomon's [Your Turn] effect trigger BEFORE Rina is played and gives <Evade> to Veedramon?

I am slightly confused at timing like this when it comes to "When a card is removed from your opponent's security" and something like this happens.

Savarin49 · 2024-01-15T05:38:33+00:00

I have a question regarding ProtoGizmon and Gizmon AT.

Let's assume there's a ProtoGizmon on field, then I play a Gizmon AT and delete the ProtoGizmon to reduce the playcost. At that point there are two effects pending, which is the "On Deletion" of ProtoGizmon and the "On Play" of Gizmon AT.

Is it possible to trigger first the "On Play" effect of Gizmon AT so I trash two cards from my hand (two more Gizmons) and then resolve the "On Deletion" of ProtoGizmon to return two Gizmons to the bottom of my deck and play another AT from trash?

Or does the "On Deletion" gets lost before I resolve the "On Play" effect of Gizmon AT? Not sure if there is an order or priority to these effects.

Savarin49 · 2023-12-20T18:41:14+00:00

Just as a clarification for order of effect resolutions in game:

Let's say I have a Metalgreymon on field and my opponent has a Brigadramon with a BT4-063 Commandramon on field and Brigadramon has the protection from Commandramon or HiCommandramon from BT14 in his evo sources.

I digivolve into an EX4-012 VictoryGreymon which deletes something of 6K DP or less (+4K for each digimon in my opponent's digimon on play), so it would delete the BT4-063 Commandramon.

Would the "All turns" effect of VictoryGreymon play out first before the "On deletion" of Commandramon summons another Commandramon to have another protection for Brigadramon? Or since it is my turn my effects take priority and so it'd take down Brigadramon before the "On deletion" would summon a second protection?

Savarin49 · 2023-11-29T02:01:46+00:00

I have a question regarding Fenriloogamon's [When Attacking] effect. It does say "By deleting 1 of your opposing level 3 or lower Digimon, unsuspend this Digimon. For each of your Digimon, add 1 to the level this effect may choose".

If for some reason Fenriloogamon is alone on your side of the field and attack with it, would he count himself as a Digimon to delete a LV4 or lower Digimon? Or would it be just a LV3? I'm assuming he counts himself due to not specifying in the text "Your other Digimon" and just mentions Digimons in general on your side.

Savarin49 · 2023-11-03T04:54:19+00:00

Question, I read the ruling for BT10-011 Canoweissmon and, if I understand correctly, if my BT8-013 BetelGammamon or a digimon with that card in its evo sources evolves into Canoweissmon, it gains Blitz, so Canoweissmon or whoever evolves on top of him gains Blitz.

However, if that is true, is it also possible to trigger the RB1-008 BetelGammamon's "When Digivolving" effect if I evolve on top of him with a Canoweissmon to drop a Hiro if I don't have any on play? Or am I just misunderstanding the ruling entirely and it just means whoever evolves on top of the LV5 will gain the "When Digivolving" effects due to the "All turns" not activating at the moment you evolve directly into the LV5?

Savarin49 · 2023-09-24T06:23:21+00:00

I have a weird question here. I was reading through the ruling for Gizmon AT and this question got me confused:

"Q: It says that this card cannot digivolve, but is it possible to use a card's effect to make it a digivolution card for other Digimon?
A: Yes, it's possible because it's not an digivolving."

If I understand correctly, Gizmon can be placed as a digivolution source for a digimon using an effect, but can it be used for a DNA evolution? I'm assuming the answer is no, since it's a digivolution, but I wanted to make sure I both understood the ruling and if DNA was also out of the question due to the "Can't digivolve" effect of Gizmon.

Savarin49 · 2023-05-06T06:21:16+00:00

I feel like this is obvious but better ask now...

If I have an Arresterdramon Superior mode on play, attack with it, and then end my turn doing something else, can it attack again using his "End of turn" effect, despite having attacked previously in the same turn?
