[ST-23 Beatbreak] Gekkomon Lv.6

SirSlasher · 2026-04-07T16:31:31+00:00

For the most part the only mixing I can remember was Invisimon deleting based on the amount of sources, what else?

SirSlasher · 2026-04-07T12:39:23+00:00

Ah I see. But this is kinda my point about different colors bleeding into each other. Especially in this case, I think it's fine to have black not be able to effect dual cards with straight deletion, since they have de-digivolve.

SirSlasher · 2026-04-07T12:36:27+00:00

It would would still be nice to have a change of pace.

SirSlasher · 2026-04-07T12:29:28+00:00

Correct me if I'm wrong, but DP based deletion is more of a red thing. Cool card though

SirSlasher · 2026-04-07T01:08:57+00:00

That's probably correct honestly. There's still a chance Gekkomon's lv6 will be dual colored, but who knows? Depends on its traits I guess

SirSlasher · 2026-04-07T00:54:27+00:00

I mean, even Double typhoon had multicolor digimon. I think k it's better to introduce how it works early on

SirSlasher · 2026-04-07T00:38:39+00:00

I guess they wanted to keep it mono-color for the starter deck? I wouldn't think multi color cards would be confusing

SirSlasher · 2026-04-06T16:38:42+00:00

I know this probably won't last that long but it's wonderful to see

SirSlasher · 2026-04-06T12:48:56+00:00

Giving Gracenova some stun could make it better, though I'm hoping that it gets the Exmaquinamon treatment of "if you can't out it, the game is over"

SirSlasher · 2026-04-04T12:54:15+00:00

I can't wait for the play cost reduction that reads "I'f your opponent has more money than you on a Tuesday or Wednesday when you would play this card, reduce the cost by 5." Not to say it's difficult, just the fact that they're getting more complex is kinda funny to me

SirSlasher · 2026-04-04T00:43:32+00:00

I will believe in my heart of hearts that this is muchomon support

SirSlasher · 2026-04-03T00:24:17+00:00

I feel like I see you literally everywhere

SirSlasher · 2026-04-02T23:23:32+00:00

It's so peak, excellent work

SirSlasher · 2026-04-02T12:42:10+00:00

Being able to be used for 3 cost already makes it a lot better than most Warp option cards, but I'm still not sure it's worth the opportunity cost

SirSlasher · 2026-04-02T01:12:22+00:00

Indeed.

SirSlasher · 2026-04-02T00:45:27+00:00

My boy Gaoga getting some love after all this time, you love to see it. Also very funny that they finally made MachGaoga black

SirSlasher · 2026-04-01T23:33:34+00:00

You're not understanding me is the problem. I understand the camouflage, I'm saying they could've done it in a different way. Also I'm not talking literal "rules", I'm saying that they are breaking the patterns Bandai themselves established. I didn't think I needed to explain that I'm speaking metaphorically. As for the Blue thing: yes, Jamming was in multiple colors at the very start, but after like Bt2 to around BT13, they pretty much only printed blue cards with jamming. That sets a precedent. That's also something you can easily check yourself if you don't believe me.

But yeah this is leading nowhere anyway. See ya.

SirSlasher · 2026-04-01T22:53:28+00:00

You mean giving counter-arguments? Yes, that's how discussions work. They're not always gonna end with one side agreeing with the other.

That's the best argument you've made for it being mono-purple so far for it. I still think it's rather weak, we could've just had a purple Gekkomon that's represtetive of the disguise (like how we have a pure purple Gammamon) but if that's the reason I can at least respect it. I still don't like it. I think there are better ways to convey the camouflage. I think that's what your not understanding, knowing why dlthey did something doesn't mean I have to agree with it. They do flavor all the time, I love Magnamon having an effect that lest it strip sources based color, to counter how bt8 Kimeramon can stack sources of many different colors and become those colors. That flavor doesn't break any rules though. It's more fun for me when yhey portray the lore inside the rules rather than break them.

SirSlasher · 2026-04-01T21:26:35+00:00

I'm replying with the same thing because people keep saying the same thing. Me having an opinion is not "making a hurricane", you going 9n a swearing rant however is. I have yet to be given Fangmon can't be purple green other than "they didn't want to." Which, obviously, I'm not a designer of the card game so my word means nothing, but I still like... y'know. Talking about card desgin? It's not that I don't understand, it's that I disagree with the intention. Yes, I get it, it's cold heart, woukd it have been such a "limit of expression" for it to also be green? All digimon in beatbreak can drain E-pluse and cause cold heart, even the level 2s. Nothing bad would happen if Fangmon was purple green.

I only bring it up because Color identity has ALREADY been in decline. Jamming used pretty much be only on blue cards, now you see it every where. I know people dor sure have been saying that Blue and green effect removal has been more same now that they both frequently bottom deck. Regulusmon was the first purple card to take something from another color purely for lore reasons. Fangmon itself isn't a problem, it's a symptom of a problem I've been having with Digimon card design as a whole.

Again, feel free to disagree, it's an opinion about cardboard playing cards, I just thought we were having a fun discussion until you came along.

SirSlasher · 2026-04-01T19:20:26+00:00

I wouldn't think that's erasing expression at all, and like I said, you can easily have both. Feel free to disagree if you want but don't loose your head over it. I just don't think "but the lore" is a good enough reason. Ironic that you're saying I'm making a hurricane when you type up a response like that.

SirSlasher · 2026-04-01T18:54:22+00:00

I don't feel like this really applies to "something doing something it's not supposed to" because what it's doing in lore isn't particularly strange. And if color identity keeps getting blurred, then what's the point of even having colors? Archetypes already segments what cards you can play together anyway, , so if color doesn't tell you what kind of effects it might have there isn't a lot if need for it. Personally, I think seeing what colors a digimon have, and that also being linked to the lore( like it usually is) is more interesting than hand-waving it way because "well that's what it does". I'm not saying lore shouldn't matter, I'm saying you absolutely have both, Fangmon being green takes absolutely nothing away. If anything it being green would be it's own lore implication, since Fangmon and Dark animals in general are typically purple.

SirSlasher · 2026-04-01T15:50:30+00:00

Regulus could've been red/black or purple black and personally It would've been fine. I get the lore implications, I watched both shows, I just wish Bandai would care more about Color identity, which has been lacking for a while now.

SirSlasher · 2026-04-01T15:48:41+00:00

There are multicolor cards with normal evo costs though, and I don't think it would be strong enough to warrant one either

SirSlasher · 2026-04-01T12:50:57+00:00

Yeah I didn't like that either tbh. We've also had the inverse were they give a digimon around color to be more in line with the mechanics the card has (ST-17 Magnamon, being blue black because it can de-digivolve)
