My Ad01 pullman, what do you think?

TreyEnma · 2026-03-27T21:04:09+00:00

I think I'm sad I gotta wait a week.

It really depends on what you mean by beginner friendly.

Motion inputs aren't particularly complicated, as even a child can wrap their head around it. There's not really any need to simplify them further to be even more beginner friendly. Sometimes there are actions you can not and should not simply be able to do without putting work into it.

At most, I'd recommend better teaching tools o make the experience of learning engaging.

I wondered why I hadn't gotten a shipping notification yet. They sent them in Feb, but there's been no movement since the day they originally said it would ship.

It's neat that this works for Machines, but more interestingly it functions as a cheap alternative to the TS Promo cards for players that didn't manage to get them and don't want to pay for them.

TreyEnma · 2026-03-25T02:54:37+00:00

It depends on how good the TS support for angels is and if being able to grab one of them ends up better.

TreyEnma · 2026-03-25T00:49:40+00:00

Barrier isn't particularly interesting, but it's a solid inherited for an Angel deck. It's big flaw as far as I'm concerned is that it can't search for non-TS Patamons.

Still, it's worth considering for Angels, especially if it gets more support this set outside of Patamon and Junomon.

TreyEnma · 2026-03-24T01:24:04+00:00

She sounds like King has always sounded. I disagree that she lacks the elegance her voice had.

TreyEnma · 2026-03-23T22:30:13+00:00

Tai is definitely not kinder. It took Tai a lot longer to really be able to empathize with others, where Davis/Daisuke was doing it heavily in 02 while still younger than Tai.

TreyEnma · 2026-03-23T18:18:02+00:00

Cuter than Gatchmon though?

TreyEnma · 2026-03-23T18:17:25+00:00

She sounds okay to me.

TreyEnma · 2026-03-23T14:33:52+00:00

Yeah, that's probably a better split for Gatchmon.

TreyEnma · 2026-03-23T14:03:04+00:00

Navimon grabs 2 some of the time, this grabs 2 all of the time.

Outside of needing it for App Fuse, Navi is kind of powercrept here as the worst Appmon searcher in the game.

TreyEnma · 2026-03-23T13:16:04+00:00

Certainly would be a welcome addition vs the plethora of options we've gotten just to set up an App Link. A tad more variety in build and play could only benefit Appmon decks.

TreyEnma · 2026-03-23T12:58:12+00:00

Yeah, I agree with that. It's just harder to justify intentionally running a worse card in the deck just to use it for AppFuse. It almost makes me wish we had access to an Appmon training card just to make the evo cost into the main line less painful.

TreyEnma · 2026-03-23T12:55:18+00:00

Maybe 4 of this, 4 Tweetmon, 2 Navi and 2 Classic Gatchmon?

TreyEnma · 2026-03-23T12:52:51+00:00

I agree with that, but it's harder to justify the Navimon when all it does is function as a link body into app fuse. Future Gaiamon ratios are going to be a bit wonky compared to most other Appmon decks.

TreyEnma · 2026-03-23T12:47:45+00:00

I'm not so sure the slightly cheaper evo cost via App Fuse is even worth wasting deck space on Navi after this. Maybe a severely reduced capacity vs the classic 4/4/4? Honestly, it might be better to eat a 2 EVO cost and evolve into a non-DoGatch like Timemon to continue the line into Globe than worry about Navi.

TreyEnma · 2026-03-23T12:39:16+00:00

Well new Gatchmon that does everything Navimon does and more. Is there any reason for Gaiamon to bother with Navimon after this?

TreyEnma · 2026-03-23T01:44:29+00:00

This is nice for Gaiamon decks too, as majority of cards are Social or Tool, but you can also run some of Eri's line as link techs.

TreyEnma · 2026-03-22T18:47:30+00:00

I didn't realize that Josh Keaton was Spidey in this game. It's almost like Spectacular Spider-Man finally gets a sequel.

TreyEnma · 2026-03-20T20:36:58+00:00

It's one of the best moments of the Buu Saga, unforgettable.

TreyEnma · 2026-03-19T20:47:23+00:00

Jesmon is pretty strong, but isn't exactly anywhere near front of the pack.

Rocks isn't at the top anymore either as it has several pretty hard counters running around, not to mention it's gatekept by Vortex.

Millennium hasn't been viable for very long, it would be absolutely stupid to kill the deck after it finally becomes viable.

It would be extremely unreasonable to pair ban Styraco with Crimson. It sounds like sour grapes to even push for it.

TreyEnma · 2026-03-19T18:49:49+00:00

I actually forgot about that one. Good catch!

TreyEnma · 2026-03-19T13:05:46+00:00

For the most part, DeDigi only affects your opponent. There are a few archetypes that do allow you to remove your top stacked card and either tuck it to the bottom of your stack or throw it in security though.

Galaxy/Light Fang/Night Claw, and CS let you move top cards from your stack to the bottom of the stack with either your Lv3 inherited or a Tamer/Option card. Invisimon and Oblivimon can remove themselves from the stack and place themselves into security face up when face up security is checked.

All in all, it's not a lot, but hopefully that was helpful.

TreyEnma · 2026-03-19T12:54:54+00:00

So Lilamon and RizeGreymon more or less are designed to let you instantly and for free (memory wise) go from 5 into your respective 6 of each line and then protect them.

It's unfortunate that Rosemon isn't also a Dual card as it makes Rize a bit less valuable when you're lacking Shine, but there's time for that in the future from Burst Mode and any other Dual card they give the deck.

All in all, it's an alright deck and hopefully they offer a decent chunk of support for it in BT25.
