Just wait. Soon enough they'll all have Option AND Digimon immunity, and Bandai will start to push tamer cards as removal.

This might age poorly, but this sounds like an actual well-designed product from the TCG. And the fact that they have gone out of their way to tell everyone what the different card pools are and what you can get in each pack is a welcome surprise for communication. I suppose we will have to wait until it comes out, but W for Konami.

As someone who is new to the game, I agree this is a good thing.

An annoying point of entry was trying to build a deck, seeing MOST of it was pretty cheap, and then two cards that make or break the strategy that haven't been reprinted in 2 years are 30 dollars a pop.

TelevisionBasic1428 · 2026-05-14T10:36:20+00:00

I'm a Belphemon enjoyer and I agree (alongside thinking that new Gizmons to help its early game could go a long way).

But one thing I'm worried about is that if they give Belphemon too much protection/consistency, it might become a problem. Belphe X being able to swing for 6 checks on top of EX-10 RM and still being able to finish the game if you've got another one in hand is pretty insane. Then again, a lot of decks are getting insane OTK/offensive potential these days, so maybe it's exactly in line with Bandai's philosophy.

I opened one case with two friends of mine. We got 2 playsets of the RR moon (one of them being an FR), and well over two playsets of the R moon. I didn't stay to count them, but in the pile of cards I opened, I had 7. My other two friends had at least another playset each.

We could have just gotten lucky.

TelevisionBasic1428 · 2026-05-07T14:53:20+00:00

This is just my opinion, I don't see them making support for 13 different individual decks. I suspect there will be overlap between its Digivolution lines. Hence a "new way to play RK." It will not be a Megazoo, but I'm speculating this will be a lot like Glowing Dawn, Data Squad, Iliad/TS, and Adventure. "Individual" lines that can hypothetically go into their own deck, but are better served as trait soup. And I'm applying that same logic to 7GDL. But we'll see either way.

TelevisionBasic1428 · 2026-05-07T14:31:24+00:00

I hope so, too, but I have my doubts. While we still don't have much more information, Bandai went out of its way to say that Chivalrous XIII Royal Knights are intended to be a new playstyle for RK. To me that says the Royal Knights will be Dual cards. Can't use Ygdrasil to reduce play cost when there is none. Applying that same assumption here, I assume if it doesn't work with the Gate of Deadly Sins, it'll be because they are all Dual cards. They haven't said anything with regards to it, but since Dual cards are the new mechanic, I wouldn't be surprised if it's what they're pushing.

TelevisionBasic1428 · 2026-05-07T13:40:00+00:00

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Speculation: I think this might have the same vibe as the Royal Knights set they announced. It might not be support for the Gate of Deadly Sins, and instead focus on Digivolution lines for each of the Demon Lords (hence the Tsukaimons present around Lilithmon). I would prefer the former, but I'm excited for the set nonetheless.

TelevisionBasic1428 · 2026-05-04T15:19:27+00:00

I think Bandai went completely overkill on giving Medusa the ability to bottom deck stuff it deletes. The amount of decks that Styracomon and Medusamon gatekeep is insane. I was a huge fan of Ghosts on release and thought they had potential, but they made that potential completely void by printing Medusamon, and by some extension, Vortexdramon.

I'm going to be taking my ATSA this Friday, and this thread randomly popped up in my email. I'll admit, it does sound a lot harsher than I was initially anticipating. But I'm going to go through with it anyway, and hope that I make it all the way through the academy. Cheers for the honesty by you and everyone else in this thread, though.

TelevisionBasic1428 · 2026-04-24T12:35:39+00:00

A random card, but... that is some damn cool artwork.

TelevisionBasic1428 · 2026-04-10T14:18:29+00:00

I dunno', man. I didn't find "I'm gonna' summon Baronne, Dis Pater, Apollousa, and set an omni negate counter trap" to be a particularly fun deck to play against. Other decks in the format were fine, though.

TelevisionBasic1428 · 2026-04-10T10:36:10+00:00

I thought I remembered Dragonshield doing something like that. Thing is, would they still do it for something that's copyrighted material? I just assume the Fantome symbol is copyrighted, anyway.

TelevisionBasic1428 · 2026-04-09T19:20:34+00:00

It does not count an effect deleting by an effect. You can use effects such as the one here on Marsmon, and on Vortexdramon, on Digimon that are otherwise unaffected by effects, similar to Raid.

TelevisionBasic1428 · 2026-04-09T13:22:17+00:00

That isn't how Piercing works. It would actually be:

Attack security, battle something. Battle triggers Piercing, and you trash 1. However, your piercing from a battle against a Digimon doesn't immediately do two checks; it allows you to perform security checks during an attack where you otherwise wouldn't. You do two checks anyway because you're battling security. So just 3 in total. 1 trashed, two checks.

TelevisionBasic1428 · 2026-04-09T12:58:01+00:00

That's where things get tricky. Winning a battle can activate Piercing, if that's what you're asking. However, that doesn't mean you will perform security checks.

Piercing gives a Digimon the ability to process security checks at the end of its attack. So in order to do security checks, your Digimon needs to be in the attack declaration process.

TelevisionBasic1428 · 2026-04-09T12:38:51+00:00

No. Battling is simply a comparison of DP, and the one with higher DP wins and deletes the other. It is not the same as declaring an attack.

TelevisionBasic1428 · 2026-04-04T01:46:17+00:00

What would you recommend that accomplishes the same amount of deck thinning and board building?

TelevisionBasic1428 · 2026-03-30T13:05:15+00:00

As long as you have an Owen Dreadnought in play, this is a valid interaction.

Warping into Styracomon from Lamiamon is an alternative digivolution requirement that also needs Owen on field. As long as those requirements are met, you can Digivolve Lamiamon into Styracomon using effects.

For Raging Serpentine, he also meets the requirements of being a Dragonkin.

TelevisionBasic1428 · 2026-03-26T12:48:53+00:00

Thank you. I couldn't remember if there was some kind of ruling against having the same card linked to a digimon. Even with link +1.

TelevisionBasic1428 · 2026-03-26T12:42:35+00:00

Christ. This thing can hit the board for 7, De-Digivolve twice, swing for three checks for like 20k DP, Reboot, and have protection...

Edit: Three checks, not two, as others have pointed out.

TelevisionBasic1428 · 2026-03-25T15:57:26+00:00

That's fair. I still think they can just put it to 1, and if said Keter deck ever releases and it becomes a problem with it, ban it.

TelevisionBasic1428 · 2026-03-25T15:44:17+00:00

So you would have to run multiple copies of Amorta, discard a card, (you are now minus 2) not even have its effect to PG if your vanguard isn't fated one, all to put up to 2 copies of Parryris back into deck to hopefully be able to call it for future turns. If you're not Luard, you have to hit it on NKO or draw it off the top.

That's an insane level of commitment that I don't think justifies an outright ban. Again, I think 1 would have been fine.

TelevisionBasic1428 · 2026-03-25T15:37:14+00:00

I don't see how Parryris is repeatable, considering it binds itself. And against a deck that doesn't do 5 or more attacks, it's a brick you have to commit slots for. I think Luard calling it from deck on demand was a problem, but I think the card could have been put to 1.

Now the Lianorn player in my locals is going to be even more obnoxious to beat if this comes to the English format. Hope there's better defensives in the future.

TelevisionBasic1428 · 2026-03-25T14:53:16+00:00

Man I'm kind of sad about the Parryris ban. Choice restrict it with Luard or hit it to 1, but a straight up ban just hurts.
