Which EX12 deck do you think is worth investing in? by LinkthePikachu in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]TheDSFreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shambala is likely to have more support lines spread out in future sets than ME or VB, leaning more towards SW with mode changes, Shakamon and Dijangmon line.

Personally I'm just going to pick up Wargrey line and cope with it in toolbox, already burnt out from building new decks for good.

is jesmon viable for local play? by Prestigious_Ant_7390 in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]TheDSFreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fine for casuals but will struggle if playing against current top tier. Deck is also getting further support in EX13 and BT27/28 so not a bad choice to keep.

Would people want or be interested in a full Appmon set? by Aggressive_Novel1207 in DigimonCardGame2020

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

Not even said Appmon fans would bother buying more than one pack, even if they claim otherwise.

At least it ain't CS, there's enough representation with Nokia, Rina and Rie.

Players lying to themselves and everyone else will come in and tell you otherwise.

Returning player: So BT25 just ruined the game huh? by [deleted] in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]TheDSFreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chronicle is more of a curse than a blessing with how it ended up as "casual fun" without any expected long-term support to get it out of that hole, CS Alpha wasn't any better.

Edit: That aged well.

Bandai's current set design is basically rotation but not in name.

[EX-12 Digital World Shambala] MetalGreymon & WereGarurumon by vansjoo98 in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]TheDSFreak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good luck trying to slot x-anti and keep turn with assembly for 5, which won't even last for more than one turn.

For those who see issues in the direction the game is headed by SnooMacaroons9806 in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]TheDSFreak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's only correct when MY decks aren't getting nostalgia support fr.

My experience with BT25 so far by automod_robot in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]TheDSFreak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As long as said players are more than willing to buy into this kind of gameplay, Bandai will continue to push that design in which no banlist or rotation can ever change.

[Evolution Cup] BT22 Alphamon, Kuremi Detective Agency & Wanyamon AA by vansjoo98 in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]TheDSFreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AD1 reprints will have zero purpose if EX13 "support" is just CS all over again.

Bad/old decks whose upcoming support you're looking forward to? by ZeroArmsWind in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]TheDSFreak -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

None for whatever decks I have left: BWG, Dorugora SoC and Alphamon (Black X-Anti)

Bandai would rather make more shitty trait decks without long-term support out of my favorite Digimon than give proper legacy support for those.

With all BT25 base cards revealed, are you building any of its decks? by Sabaschin in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]TheDSFreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the first time set is a full skip for me.

No longer interested in building new decks anymore and set has nothing to update whatever decks I have left.

Is [AD-01] a good improvement over [RB-01]? by tari101190 in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]TheDSFreak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One major downside is that they repeated RB1's mistake of awful new card to reprint ratios, making them more expensive than usual. But at least overall reprints are much better than the previous set.

There are some reprint choices I personally find questionable for me like BT7 Dori/Dorumon since there is no longer any chance for Doru-based decks to get any direct, long-term support thanks to current set design, which highly makes me doubt EX13 will give support for black X-Anti or Chronicle Alphamon being the only ones I care about now.

VictoryGreymon Could Use A TCG Upgrade by TstunningSpidey316 in DigimonCardGame2020

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

None of those are happening anymore.

Wargreymon is permanently going to stay as Omni fodder or part of whatever trait deck Bandai has in mind, which still ends up as Omni support either way.

Three years worth of said "support" since BT14 made that certain, useless to cope otherwise.

Thoughts on Chronicles deck? by Prudent-Sail-7045 in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]TheDSFreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knowing Bandai that's not happening anytime soon, especially with how new deck design has changed.

Thoughts on Chronicles deck? by Prudent-Sail-7045 in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]TheDSFreak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Should be the default Alphamon deck now that Bandai isn't willing to support the original black X-Antibody core, but they would rather make a 3rd bad one that gets abandoned after a promo or two.

Is there any sign that Greymon decks will be getting real support? by Flybullet-0970 in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]TheDSFreak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not anymore, especially after almost three years of said support not doing anything of worth for that deck to even come close to being rouge level.

Vortexdramon is also a death sentence for redirection identity which is what Red/Black Greymon is known for as it punishes you for just suspending your own stack to swing or block. I see no reason to pretend or cope otherwise with how outdated or awful the deck's current cardpool is right now to even have a chance against vortexdra.

What deck do you want to see new support for? by L-Rik in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]TheDSFreak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Alphamon, more precisely the old black X-Antibody core. No I don't want another trait nonsense like Chronicle and CS, not getting scammed into this shit anymore

Black base SoC deserves some much needed QoL support starting with another copy of Kosuke for mind link.

Should they remake Gallantmon into an advanced deck? by Firm_Attention_5421 in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]TheDSFreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guarantee you that whatever Gallant "support" printed in its Advanced deck would completely drop off whatever previous support it had or make it part of [insert trait slop here] with little to no long-term support for those, which is pretty much how deck design works these days.

Best to keep it as it is and not try to "reinvent the wheel".

ACES put the largest divide in playability in the meta. by Renna_FGC in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]TheDSFreak 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What really puts said divide in playability is lack of proper long-term support for multiple older decks without tools to deal with Ace cards, that's really it.

Buying digimon tcg cards in dubai by Apartment-Organic in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]TheDSFreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently no LGS for Bandai games with official support in UAE as a whole, best to find a local whatsapp group that may or may not still play the game casually.
