I am so glad you're covering digimon tcg stuff. The game is nostalgic, but it's actually a wonderfully designed game with many different deck archetypes alongside one of the most intriguing resource systems in any tcg. Any competitive player should definitely try this game out.
@@sushiyumyumz5522 bro you must in live in another planet, it's one of the most balanced card games we have. Wanna talk about unbalanced games? Try the ones that are 10+ years on the market and they can't even make balanced cards so they need to ban them because it's too broken.
It’s ironic that the final card in your box was Tyrannomon, the first Digimon designed. What a great way to bookend such a thoughtful discussion about nostalgia and keeping things fresh while honoring the past
I didn't know that Tyrannomon was the very first Digimon. That's cool. There's a similar case with Rhydon from Pokemon. I don't recall if it was actually the first pokemon ever created but in the code for the original games it's marked as number 1 despite it being number 112 in the pokedex.
@@animeking1357 and yes tyranomon was first created but not because of like ryndon where he was just create first tyranomon was supposed to be like Charizard and be main mascot but greymon lirk dragon knight a rareer but more powerful type digimon greymon were known to be in packs of one or two while tyranomon could have been find in 5
Digimon TCG is not only going as far as the show, but seems to be calling back to other Digimon properties as well. The Analog Youth Tamer card in this set is the playable character from the PS1 Digimon World game that was releases in 97 (two years before the original TV series), but they've even brought in the V-Tamer version of Taichi and the Cyber Sleuth characters. The franchise does a good job of trying something new while keeping some level of nostalgia with each new story. Even Frontier and Xros Wars, which aren't considered as good as other seasons, weren't necessarily bad either. (The TCG even still kept Frontier's gimmick by having Agnimon and Lobomon able to be evolved from Tamers, now only of they made a version of Masaru that was able to join the fight himself to keep up with Savers' gimmick...)
Love this card game, I quit yugioh, Pokémon and magic in over 9 years ago. But 2 years ago I randomly walked into a hobby store and saw this and now I am into it
I know you’ve been somewhat nervous about unscripted openings like this in the past, but I really enjoy hearing you just talk about things as you go through the cards, it’s very relaxing and I’d be more than happy to see more openings in this style, especially for MTG!
That Weregarurumon just blew me away. So nostalgic and so gorgeous! I am crazy jealous of these cards. I still have my OG Digimon TCG cards in a binder. Wizardmon is still one of the coolest designs I've ever seen
The artwork for this set isn’t just in the old style. It *is* old art, either a Digimon’s official artwork or, in the case of the option cards, artwork used on a card from the original card game (hyper coliseum). So very little new art, but they know it hits those nostalgia buttons. And then they made the alt arts of the cards practically identical to frames of the original game! The Digimon TCG really has been embracing its past. Analog youth is the player character from the original Digimon World, but there are tons of references to that game in the other sets.
The awesome thing about nostalgia for our generation is being able to really connect with our kids on the things we're into. My parents way back understood that I was into things like Digimon, but it wasn't something I could talk about with them. Nostalgia is a great tool to connect people across generations (although unfortunately we've seen it be a cash grab a lot over the years). I have been able to befriend and mentor (and therefore grow myself as an adult) younger friends over the years by connecting on these shared hobbies and that is a wonderful thing.
I've heard a lot of good things about this game over the past year, other than some early supply issues. The cards look good! Nice, clean design and well-rendered artwork. Will have to check out your how-to-play video later. Regarding your question about nostalgia for today's children, for my son's generation (he's a teenager now) it's all about Roblox and Minecraft. I think TCGs need to appeal to all generations, since there are so many other forms of entertainment these days.
Haven't played MTG since Eldraine. But I this year I have been buying these Digimon cards for the memories. Big fan of this game. Hope it's community continues to grow!
I will be honest, I had no idea you'd be nostalgic for Digimon. Digimon is one of if not my most favorite shows of my past. It's one of those things that shaped me in to who I am and I love it for that.
Digimon today, especially since Last Evolution Kizuna, is one of my top animated series of all time. I highly recommend everyone, even none Digimon fans check out that film. Just make sure you have a box of tissues ready. And thanks for highlighting such a good property on your channel, Professor. As someone who has been collecting these cards for the new game, I just want to let folks know how generous it is. For most sets, if you get 2 boxes, you'll have a full playset of all commons and uncommons and a good chunk of the rares and super rares. It is a very affordable game.
Love watching your inner child geek out like this. This video was a blast from the past. I 100% agree with your stance on reprints. I don’t mind some art being a one time thing, but reprint the card so new players can have access to the entire game.
Honestly my favorite purchase of the year. I got it a few months ago, and had so much fun opening it. I used to get a pack whenever I went to the warner bros. store, and I remember when they were closing the store, everything was like 75% off. So my mom just said "Grab what they have left, might as well." It was so exciting getting a lot of the rare cards back then, and I still have a lot of them (Though I wish they were in better condition and I thought about sleeves at the time.) But this set just made me remember opening packs with my brother, and we both got back into the game because of this. It's different now, but actually more fun. I'm hoping it catches on more, because I'd love to get more games in at local stores.
Speaking of the "collectible" part of card games one of the epitomes of this back when I still played YuGiOh were ghost rares. The highest rarity cards in main series packs. I always said they were made purely for collectors. If you played a normal game with them they frankly just looked like a gross washed out silver splotch on the table. But I knew 1 person who had collected every ghost rare in the game and had binder pages full of them. And from a collector standpoint in a binder where you could hold them up to the light and turn the binder to get the full holographic 3d rainbow effect, those were some awesome looking binder pages. Certainly much nicer than when theyre just sitting on a table not catching the light or the angle right. As far as regular gameplay goes imo ultimate rares were the neatest looking foiling process not only in YuGiOh but in any card game I ever played.
I feel like digimon is doing exactly what you want card games to do. Each pack comes with 2 rares, which decreases the value of all rares, and Select few rares are over $20. If you want Max rarity of a card, then you get alternate arts, but those cards also come available in 50 cent form. The game is incredibly accessible, for instance if you want to buy a Box of this set, it's only about 50 bucks. You probably not going to get your money back, but you are going to have access to a whole lot of cards that are playable
@@sushiyumyumz5522 I live in a very humid area, and I've never seen one curl or warp in any way. It's also just the borders that are foiled with the normal rares.
I love that you're covering more Digimon stuff as I've found myself engrossed in the game since it was available, taking over my spending from MTG hahah. I want to point out that, this video didn't show up in my live feed.. I saw it today.. as a suggested video, which is really weird since I generally watch every video you put out.
I bought a booster today randomly out of pure curiosity and it was hella nostalgic for me. What a coincidence that Prof had a new video up about this game! Love it!
A lot of the discussion about the artwork actually does happen with the LGS model for fantasy flight games. For Lord of the rings LCG for example each game piece came in the sets that they originally came in, which are constantly being reprinted. However they would release alternate artworks for the hero cards at each convention that happened throughout the year. So what happened was their were alternate artwork hero cards that became pricey in value, but they were essentially the same game pieces. It means that there is something to collect for those people who desire it, but those people are still playing the same game as everyone else.
I started playing a couple weeks before your how to play video dropped. I've been having a blast collecting and playing the game! Classic collection kicked it off with the nostalgic old school art, but the art for the game as a whole is amazing. I'm looking forward to any Digimon content you decide to do going forward!
This is my favorite Digimon set so far and it is because of how it proudly embraces the original art style and card style. The old designs, like Kabuterimon and SkullGreymon, were what really made me excited about Digimon and pushed it above Pokemon when I was a child. The alternate art cards are absolutely gorgeous in this set and I couldn't have asked for more.
I've been hearing things about this game but seeing them honor the classic card game like this has convinced me. Getting a box of this. Thanks for letting me know about this.
This tapped into a deep memory I had forgotten about. Especially as someone who enjoyed Digimon more than I did Pokémon as a child. I’ll be picking up a box of this as soon as I can.
Not only are they going back to the original art style for these cards, they’re using the exact same, though high-res, art from the original card game That Wizardmon and “Fight for Your Pride!” art is an exact match to the cards in my collection, I love it!
I'm late to the Digimon party so I'm catching up on a lot of my favorite people making videos about it, but thank you for the sentimental look back on Digimon, Prof. I'll tell you what the joy for new kids getting into the series is going to be -- sharing it with their parents. I can't wait to show my son Digimon. I've loved this series since I was in grade school and here I am, now 34 years old, with a child of my own who will hopefully love it like I do. EDIT: Almost forgot. RIP Tommy Oliver/JDF. He passed just a few months after this video was made.
It’s nice to see you fawn over these cards they truly are gorgeous, I have massive nostalgia for Digimon, I once got in trouble for waking up hours before school to watch the cartoon when they moved the time slot.
I never played digimon, or even liked digimon. I was introduced last year and enjoyed it. This game is pretty sweet and i hope it keeps continuing to grow.
Digimon always hit harder for me than Pokémon. I remember when these original packs were released, almost no one I knew were into it cause of the Pokémon card game hype… this release was nostalgia at its best for me. Please give Digimon a chance everyone if you haven’t I am confident you won’t be disappointed!
I have been on the fence about this, the shows have been great over the past few years and it really brought my childhood memories back of Digimon. I'm already a big Pokemon fan and an even bigger Magic the Gathering fan. But Professor you have sparked my curiosity even further!
@Fossil Punk Gaming yeah between my Modern deck, Legacy Deck, 5 Commander decks, and my two pokemon decks I wouldn't necessarily say price is an issue, but if certain staples are necessary. I was thinking about picking up the Veemon Startr deck and starting there. Do you know if you need to buy 3 to make a budget deck or does all come into one?
@@56andru What I like about Digimon's competitive scene is that most casual decks you build aren't really far off from competitive variants, and cards serve such a wide variety of functions, that even less expensive alternatives to other cards might find use in specific matchups or strategies. What I'm saying is there's a lot of creativity with what you can build. I personally think if you're aiming for competitive play, you should start with the Gallantmon starter deck. Digital Hazard (EX2) is releasing outside of Japan soon and it has a lot of support for the Growlmon/Gallantmon strategy. But the Veemon one can be great too, I'm just not as familiar with it personally.
@Fossil Punk Gaming I am very much not a control player, I am sure you are familiar with magic the gathering as well, and my playstyle is more aggro like decks such as affinity before Mox Opal ban and Midrange/tempo decks. So I'll pick up Gallantmon!
I've still got some of the old original Digimon cards lying around my apartment. I've had a first edition Myotismon card I bought at a small card shop sitting in my binder for at least 20 years now. I definitely feel the nostalgia watching this and seeing these old, classic designs coming back. I even just ordered a copy of the old Digimon Digital Card Battle for PS1 again to get to play a little - even if it's different from the paper card games. Love seeing this game going strong right now.
So excited to see you covering more Digimon AND getting sponsorship from Bandai! I first saw the Digimon show when I was six and have loved the series since. Getting to play the game has been a treat!
Your nostalgia moments are when I sit with kids playing MTG, or watch the old star wars, or really anythingelse that i did when i was their age. There's a connection there, a bond of experience that transcends age
I saw the new digimon cards, and I thought "wow, this art is actually good. It's not nostalgic but it's really cool". Digimon always had so much personality. Then I saw the classic collection, and hoo boy this art is just as cool for totally different reasons. Seeing a generic sketch Agumon is just as cool as seeing him sipping soda pop under a telephone line. Great stuff Prof, and great product Digimon
This video was added to my favorites. Thank you Professor for showing this. I live in a town where card games are a bit on the limited side, but I'll definitely be trying to order a box of these!
I'm combing over every single video so carefully just to see if I could find a hint in regards to your damn teaser video! But all I can say about this is that it makes so happy to see a company actually value you and sending you awesome stuff
3:25 as a man born in 2002 I find myself having a lot of nostalgia for the youtube of the 2010s (when i started watching) text to speech, hypercam 2 tutorials, minecraft lets play, the boom from fnaf, i have a lot of nostalgia for those moments. Since youtube became the TV of the 2010s generation the nostalgic ideas will be there not on tv or movies
A big thing for me was coming back to power rangers via the original source materials. I watched an anniversary season where each ranger could change into all the rangers before them. To come back and watch it and see all the suits I remembered as a kid made me feel something I hadn't felt in a while. It truly brought me back into that fandom. I even felt nostalgic for Japanese only teams. I felt that same feeling watching you open these packs.
Really love the classic collection, the most fun I have had cracking packs in the Digimon TCG chasing those retro alt arts. Speaking of cheap play pieces, Digimon is one of the cheapest TCGs to get into.
I just ordered a box yesterday. I found it at a super low of $47 on TCGplayer. Your "How to play" video got me into this and I love it. Grew up with the cartoons and the cards are a great collectable/game.
Damn you Prof. I used to draw these over breaks in kindergarten all the time. I only regret not currently being able to get into the game, but this was such a rush of nostalgia, given the general state of affairs it lifted my spirits a bit. Thank you.
Hello Prof, I may be a MTG only player but I absolutely love ❤️ your videos on Pokémon, Flesh and Blood and Digimon. Theses games have beautiful fantastic arts foils and interesting game play. Thank you for teaching me new things!!!
I love that Digimon has a TCG again. Even though I don't have anywhere nearby to play, it's a joy just to collect the cards because of the art on the cards. If local gamestores start carrying, I'll certainly be ready.
I cannot emphasize how hyped I am that you're covering Digimon now, this game NEEDS more spotlight, its so much fun. On a side note for a VERY important video topic, I'd recommend you check out the problem with promo cards that aren't reprinted, if you want to play a Diaboromon deck, you need 4 copies of a promo pack exclusive Diaboromon, because they're not reprinted, staple cards like these are $50 and in this case, its for a tier 3 deck ar best.
I highly reccomend noone waste money on this game. Itd turning into a power creep 4 turn game that eill be dead very soon. LGS turnout has been dropping. Most decks require x4 $50 cards. Save your money.
@@sushiyumyumz5522 if your gonna bad mouth the game at least get your info right, theres like 2-3 cards that cost near that total and only one of them is a 4 off, and theres a lot of decks at a more reasonable price that are just as strong, hell the championship deck was gabu bond and that ones practically budget
While promo pack is a problem just wanna add with newer support promo diaboromon becomes just a 1 off, real problems more promo keramon that os a 4 off still and infermon also run. Not to mention rising price of sunarizamon and palmon promo probably gonna rise back up soon
@Oliver usually tcgplayer the prices have been stable for a while now, and even the last set is surprisingly cheaper then expected especially considering lucemon chaos mode ended up so cheap when regular lucemon is still the most expensive card in the game. Besides that just my LGS making trades, there are still some overpriced cards due to how difficult some stuff is to find such as certain promos but they at least avoided some of the problems bandais other game dragon ball super tends to run into where promos are just overly expensive right from release because they never arrived everywhere(except the diaboromon promos that we never got due to corona and most people only sell those tournament promo boosters sealed)
@@sushiyumyumz5522 Current power creep is fine. the higher level digivolutions weren't strong enough to justify their cost. As for 4 turn game, you may want to tune your deck a bit. You can use blockers and options to prolong your losses longer.
I would like to offer two corrections to the description of LCGs: First, original Netrunner (from 1996) was a CCG, it was under the same "Deckmaster" brand as Magic: the Gathering. The Fantasy Flight Games reboot from 2012 is an LCG. More importantly, LCGs still have room for collectability and even speculation. Back in 2015 I sold about $1,000 of FFG LCG Netrunner cards. They were different promos that were only available through organized play. In particular, an Eli 1.0 from Worlds 2013 sold for $100 each, and 2012 GenCon Private Security Force sold for even more. Furthermore, many Android: Netrunner players (including Y.T.) are proud of their binders which are chock-full of gorgeous alt-art and promo cards. I love both CCGs and LCGs, and I think it's important to stress that despite having no booster packs or rarities, well-designed LCGs still have a collectable element.
The opening about a need to "Grow up and give up the card games" but, then, we never really had to... and everything surrounding it was like the warmest hug. Thank you Prof for such an amazing video :)
I loved watching Digimon as a kid! Great bit of nostalgia. I've seen these at my LGS and have been tempted to pick some up. Thinking I might have to now lol
I genuinely got misty eyed at "it's OUR stuff," and full-on lost it when you said "It's okay for us to like what we like." I've met more cool adults playing MTG at my local stores than just about anywhere else. Not to mention I'm a cool adult playing MTG at local stores!
I love seeing them using the og card designs. I remember buying the old digimon tcg cards back in the day but stopping cause I was the only one in my neighborhood and school that’s got them.
15:40 I mean if you look at PR’s original counterpart Super Sentai, the stories for each series/season are their own give or take the occasional crossovers and Anniversary series, but still work on the multiverse approach.
Literally just opened our own box of this set yesterday! Got into the game because of you Prof and it has been a lot of fun. I treat it much more like a board game than a tcg especially since it's card pool is nowhere near magics level. The game is a blast. I hope you go over the Starter decks! I think they are great for people who want to make a battle box and start playing asap :)
My favorite thing about this collection is some of the cards have the style of the old digimon card game from the 90s and 2000s. It's a nice throwback for people who enjoyed the original game.
You finally got me! After years of listening to you on 2x speed you got me with a spoiler that even had a warning at first. Well played. I deserved it.
Until 2 days ago I literally had no idea that this set came out (last darn year)! And here comes St. Brian posting a video that same day reminding me why I just ordered 2 boxes.
I like your content even though I don't play MTG. However, I do play Digimon and I think it's awesome that you've been doing content on the game. Thanks Professor!

I love that even though I haven’t watched Digimon since the late 90s, so many of these cards were immediately recognizable. That’s nostalgia for ya!
Great video loved the topics that were talked about between Nostalgia for old things and the Boom Comics of Magic. Hope to see more content like this.
That's the plan!

I bought a booster today randomly out of pure curiosity and it was hella nostalgic for me. What a coincidence that Prof had a new video up about this game! Love it!
A lot of the discussion about the artwork actually does happen with the LGS model for fantasy flight games. For Lord of the rings LCG for example each game piece came in the sets that they originally came in, which are constantly being reprinted. However they would release alternate artworks for the hero cards at each convention that happened throughout the year. So what happened was their were alternate artwork hero cards that became pricey in value, but they were essentially the same game pieces. It means that there is something to collect for those people who desire it, but those people are still playing the same game as everyone else.
I started playing a couple weeks before your how to play video dropped. I've been having a blast collecting and playing the game!
Classic collection kicked it off with the nostalgic old school art, but the art for the game as a whole is amazing. I'm looking forward to any Digimon content you decide to do going forward!
This is my favorite Digimon set so far and it is because of how it proudly embraces the original art style and card style. The old designs, like Kabuterimon and SkullGreymon, were what really made me excited about Digimon and pushed it above Pokemon when I was a child. The alternate art cards are absolutely gorgeous in this set and I couldn't have asked for more.
I've been hearing things about this game but seeing them honor the classic card game like this has convinced me. Getting a box of this. Thanks for letting me know about this.
This tapped into a deep memory I had forgotten about. Especially as someone who enjoyed Digimon more than I did Pokémon as a child. I’ll be picking up a box of this as soon as I can.
Not only are they going back to the original art style for these cards, they’re using the exact same, though high-res, art from the original card game
That Wizardmon and “Fight for Your Pride!” art is an exact match to the cards in my collection, I love it!
i liked this video a lot. the card art is the same as the orginal digimon tcg, that i still have cards of. I had to get this pack
I'm late to the Digimon party so I'm catching up on a lot of my favorite people making videos about it, but thank you for the sentimental look back on Digimon, Prof.
I'll tell you what the joy for new kids getting into the series is going to be -- sharing it with their parents. I can't wait to show my son Digimon. I've loved this series since I was in grade school and here I am, now 34 years old, with a child of my own who will hopefully love it like I do.
EDIT: Almost forgot. RIP Tommy Oliver/JDF. He passed just a few months after this video was made.
It’s nice to see you fawn over these cards they truly are gorgeous, I have massive nostalgia for Digimon, I once got in trouble for waking up hours before school to watch the cartoon when they moved the time slot.
I never played digimon, or even liked digimon. I was introduced last year and enjoyed it. This game is pretty sweet and i hope it keeps continuing to grow.
Digimon always hit harder for me than Pokémon. I remember when these original packs were released, almost no one I knew were into it cause of the Pokémon card game hype… this release was nostalgia at its best for me. Please give Digimon a chance everyone if you haven’t I am confident you won’t be disappointed!
Been playing this game and have been loving the nostalgia, but also love the gameplay.
you know the prof's got taste when he gushes over the Veemon line
Digimon has been fun to both play and collect, I hope you make more content for the rising card game. Maybe a deck list for a fun rookie rush deck.
I have been on the fence about this, the shows have been great over the past few years and it really brought my childhood memories back of Digimon. I'm already a big Pokemon fan and an even bigger Magic the Gathering fan. But Professor you have sparked my curiosity even further!
@Fossil Punk Gaming Is the competitive scene looking any good?
@Fossil Punk Gaming yeah between my Modern deck, Legacy Deck, 5 Commander decks, and my two pokemon decks I wouldn't necessarily say price is an issue, but if certain staples are necessary. I was thinking about picking up the Veemon Startr deck and starting there. Do you know if you need to buy 3 to make a budget deck or does all come into one?
@Fossil Punk Gaming which one is better to start with Ulforce Veedramon or Gallantmon? I only saw 2 starters
@@56andru What I like about Digimon's competitive scene is that most casual decks you build aren't really far off from competitive variants, and cards serve such a wide variety of functions, that even less expensive alternatives to other cards might find use in specific matchups or strategies. What I'm saying is there's a lot of creativity with what you can build. I personally think if you're aiming for competitive play, you should start with the Gallantmon starter deck. Digital Hazard (EX2) is releasing outside of Japan soon and it has a lot of support for the Growlmon/Gallantmon strategy. But the Veemon one can be great too, I'm just not as familiar with it personally.
@Fossil Punk Gaming I am very much not a control player, I am sure you are familiar with magic the gathering as well, and my playstyle is more aggro like decks such as affinity before Mox Opal ban and Midrange/tempo decks. So I'll pick up Gallantmon!
So happy that you're covering digimon tcg, spread the good word!
I've still got some of the old original Digimon cards lying around my apartment. I've had a first edition Myotismon card I bought at a small card shop sitting in my binder for at least 20 years now. I definitely feel the nostalgia watching this and seeing these old, classic designs coming back. I even just ordered a copy of the old Digimon Digital Card Battle for PS1 again to get to play a little - even if it's different from the paper card games.
Love seeing this game going strong right now.
So excited to see you covering more Digimon AND getting sponsorship from Bandai! I first saw the Digimon show when I was six and have loved the series since. Getting to play the game has been a treat!
It makes me so happy to see Digimon getting love from the Professor lol so sick! Keep it up please lol 😆 digimon needs more love in the West!
Your nostalgia moments are when I sit with kids playing MTG, or watch the old star wars, or really anythingelse that i did when i was their age. There's a connection there, a bond of experience that transcends age
I saw the new digimon cards, and I thought "wow, this art is actually good. It's not nostalgic but it's really cool". Digimon always had so much personality. Then I saw the classic collection, and hoo boy this art is just as cool for totally different reasons. Seeing a generic sketch Agumon is just as cool as seeing him sipping soda pop under a telephone line. Great stuff Prof, and great product Digimon
I do love seeing the official artwork on cards, and the seeing the blue border return was very exciting
This video was added to my favorites. Thank you Professor for showing this. I live in a town where card games are a bit on the limited side, but I'll definitely be trying to order a box of these!
Can't wait to see some Digimon deck-tech on this channel
I'm combing over every single video so carefully just to see if I could find a hint in regards to your damn teaser video!
But all I can say about this is that it makes so happy to see a company actually value you and sending you awesome stuff
3:25 as a man born in 2002 I find myself having a lot of nostalgia for the youtube of the 2010s (when i started watching) text to speech, hypercam 2 tutorials, minecraft lets play, the boom from fnaf, i have a lot of nostalgia for those moments. Since youtube became the TV of the 2010s generation the nostalgic ideas will be there not on tv or movies
A big thing for me was coming back to power rangers via the original source materials. I watched an anniversary season where each ranger could change into all the rangers before them. To come back and watch it and see all the suits I remembered as a kid made me feel something I hadn't felt in a while. It truly brought me back into that fandom. I even felt nostalgic for Japanese only teams. I felt that same feeling watching you open these packs.
Been really enjoying these box openings with just the prof talking about stuff. Keep em coming!
Really love the classic collection, the most fun I have had cracking packs in the Digimon TCG chasing those retro alt arts. Speaking of cheap play pieces, Digimon is one of the cheapest TCGs to get into.
I just ordered a box yesterday. I found it at a super low of $47 on TCGplayer.
Your "How to play" video got me into this and I love it. Grew up with the cartoons and the cards are a great collectable/game.
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Damn you Prof. I used to draw these over breaks in kindergarten all the time.
I only regret not currently being able to get into the game, but this was such a rush of nostalgia, given the general state of affairs it lifted my spirits a bit. Thank you.
Did you get any yet lol
I really enjoyed the happiness and excitement the professor gives in this video
Hello Prof, I may be a MTG only player but I absolutely love ❤️ your videos on Pokémon, Flesh and Blood and Digimon. Theses games have beautiful fantastic arts foils and interesting game play. Thank you for teaching me new things!!!
I love that Digimon has a TCG again. Even though I don't have anywhere nearby to play, it's a joy just to collect the cards because of the art on the cards. If local gamestores start carrying, I'll certainly be ready.
I cannot emphasize how hyped I am that you're covering Digimon now, this game NEEDS more spotlight, its so much fun.
On a side note for a VERY important video topic, I'd recommend you check out the problem with promo cards that aren't reprinted, if you want to play a Diaboromon deck, you need 4 copies of a promo pack exclusive Diaboromon, because they're not reprinted, staple cards like these are $50 and in this case, its for a tier 3 deck ar best.
I highly reccomend noone waste money on this game. Itd turning into a power creep 4 turn game that eill be dead very soon. LGS turnout has been dropping. Most decks require x4 $50 cards. Save your money.
@@sushiyumyumz5522 if your gonna bad mouth the game at least get your info right, theres like 2-3 cards that cost near that total and only one of them is a 4 off, and theres a lot of decks at a more reasonable price that are just as strong, hell the championship deck was gabu bond and that ones practically budget
While promo pack is a problem just wanna add with newer support promo diaboromon becomes just a 1 off, real problems more promo keramon that os a 4 off still and infermon also run. Not to mention rising price of sunarizamon and palmon promo probably gonna rise back up soon
@Oliver usually tcgplayer the prices have been stable for a while now, and even the last set is surprisingly cheaper then expected especially considering lucemon chaos mode ended up so cheap when regular lucemon is still the most expensive card in the game.
Besides that just my LGS making trades, there are still some overpriced cards due to how difficult some stuff is to find such as certain promos but they at least avoided some of the problems bandais other game dragon ball super tends to run into where promos are just overly expensive right from release because they never arrived everywhere(except the diaboromon promos that we never got due to corona and most people only sell those tournament promo boosters sealed)
@@sushiyumyumz5522 Current power creep is fine. the higher level digivolutions weren't strong enough to justify their cost. As for 4 turn game, you may want to tune your deck a bit. You can use blockers and options to prolong your losses longer.
Knowing that you were recognized by Bandai made me literally jump in joy on the line i was standing
I would like to offer two corrections to the description of LCGs: First, original Netrunner (from 1996) was a CCG, it was under the same "Deckmaster" brand as Magic: the Gathering. The Fantasy Flight Games reboot from 2012 is an LCG.
More importantly, LCGs still have room for collectability and even speculation. Back in 2015 I sold about $1,000 of FFG LCG Netrunner cards. They were different promos that were only available through organized play. In particular, an Eli 1.0 from Worlds 2013 sold for $100 each, and 2012 GenCon Private Security Force sold for even more. Furthermore, many Android: Netrunner players (including Y.T.) are proud of their binders which are chock-full of gorgeous alt-art and promo cards. I love both CCGs and LCGs, and I think it's important to stress that despite having no booster packs or rarities, well-designed LCGs still have a collectable element.
The opening about a need to "Grow up and give up the card games" but, then, we never really had to... and everything surrounding it was like the warmest hug. Thank you Prof for such an amazing video :)
I loved watching Digimon as a kid! Great bit of nostalgia. I've seen these at my LGS and have been tempted to pick some up. Thinking I might have to now lol
These are literaly the old art renderings of Digimon with different backgrounds, it is awesome seeing the same pictures I saw on cards as a kid.
I genuinely got misty eyed at "it's OUR stuff," and full-on lost it when you said "It's okay for us to like what we like." I've met more cool adults playing MTG at my local stores than just about anywhere else. Not to mention I'm a cool adult playing MTG at local stores!
Well this was unexpected from you Professor, but this will definitely be well received!
my grandma gave me money for buy digimon cards when i was a kid. She pass away a few years ago, i feel this episode very nostalgic
I was not expecting this video but I am really happy about it. Thank you Prof. I hope Digimon will get more support in the future.
I love seeing them using the og card designs. I remember buying the old digimon tcg cards back in the day but stopping cause I was the only one in my neighborhood and school that’s got them.
15:40 I mean if you look at PR’s original counterpart Super Sentai, the stories for each series/season are their own give or take the occasional crossovers and Anniversary series, but still work on the multiverse approach.
Awesome vid awesome cards awesome discussion. U da man thanks for hard work n take all the bounties u can cheers
I like this style of video. In depth video essay level speaking coupled with opening cards
Yes please more of this, opening boosters, chilling out and talking, I love it!
Literally just opened our own box of this set yesterday! Got into the game because of you Prof and it has been a lot of fun. I treat it much more like a board game than a tcg especially since it's card pool is nowhere near magics level. The game is a blast. I hope you go over the Starter decks! I think they are great for people who want to make a battle box and start playing asap :)
The digimon tri films really brought me back to this franchise. The way they ended the series through those films was incredible and emotional
You should definitely watch Last Evolution Kizuna if you have not. Real tearjerker and definitive end to the original franchise.
I love these more introspective views on new card games and how this set of hobbies has evolved over time.
Man, I love that art. I still have my old cards on a binder somewhere. I honestly loved the old game a lot.
Prof your first video inspired me to try this game. I'm addicted!
i agree completely with your take on the collectibility and accessibility.
always fun to hang out with the prof
Thank you prof for showing support to the digimon tcg!
I loved it, Nostalgia indeed I grew up with that cartoon, great video professor.
My favorite thing about this collection is some of the cards have the style of the old digimon card game from the 90s and 2000s. It's a nice throwback for people who enjoyed the original game.
The ones that mimic the old style cards are this set's alt arts!
You finally got me!
After years of listening to you on 2x speed you got me with a spoiler that even had a warning at first.
Well played. I deserved it.
No other card game has tempted me to branch out from magic like digimon with its new resource management. I love the concept so much.
Netrunner was and still is the best card game I ever played. I'm so sad that it died :(
I agree from a game design perspective nothing has captured me like it , it was soo good that it didnt matter whether it was a tcg, ccg, or lcg.
Until 2 days ago I literally had no idea that this set came out (last darn year)! And here comes St. Brian posting a video that same day reminding me why I just ordered 2 boxes.
I still have all my old digi battle cards. I currently collect this new series and had to have a complete set of this set. The nostalgia is real!
Wow! That weregarurumon.... These cards are amazing....
Right?!
I still have my 1999 Digimon Starter Deck... :)
Digimon are the champions
I like your content even though I don't play MTG. However, I do play Digimon and I think it's awesome that you've been doing content on the game. Thanks Professor!
It does me good to see you getting as excited about digimon as me, prof.
Love the commentary on this oppening and how the professor glow when he open a card that bring him back memory!
