    • @MaPleWoRlDOrder

      Prices for the game are gonna always be high because of how they do their rarity system and promos. Typically a set has one great secret rare and one meh secret rare. A box MSRP is $90 and you get either one secret rare and one alternate art in a box or you get two alternate art cards. You usually need 4 of the good secret rares and since you aren't even guaranteed a secret rare in a box and the other one in the set is typically meh compared to the good one, the price of that card if often expensive. Especially in the case of something like Omnimon Zwart: Defeat. It's a secret rare and used in a lot of the top decks so it's $60ish and you need 4. That's already $240 starting if you wanna build one of those decks. Also they love to print strong, exclusive promos that you can only get from that promo and they don't reprint them outside of other promo events (they haven't had a reprint set or anything like that yet.) For example if you want to play diaboromon you will need to get at least two of the tournament exclusive promo cards that are going for around $70 right now and it's only a T2 deck. Pulsemon for a long time was $35 to upwards of $55 each because it was exclusive to a promo pack that was given out randomly to stores to go with set 3 and stores weren't give very many. They also never got more in stock. Was a staple in yellow and you needed 3. Another massive issues I had with the game was the fact that every set that came out introduced a new best deck in the game and was winning most of the tournaments they entered. The first time that's not the case is for the next set releasing and I'm not sure about the set after that because I stopped playing before I read all the info about set 7. The game itself is enjoyable but the way it's way too expensive for a new TCG for me to want to stay invested in it. I'd just play magic or pokemon for the price it was costing me to play DIgimon. I swapped to cardfight vanguard instead

      @@MaPleWoRlDOrder my point about price was to do with early last year, box prices were astronomical, not even local stores were doing the $90-110 a booster box should have been... Everywhere was close to $200 around here, sometimes you would find boxes for $150ish online. Starter decks couldnt be had for the $12 or so they should be.. even locals $25.. it was dumb. Sealed prices have gone back to normal for the most part, sub $80 on most boosters now online back to $90ish instores.

    Just a minor correction at 4:05
    In newer sets, there are now Option cards that can remain on the field. It is worth clarifying that you need a Digimon, or Tamer specifically on the field to activate Option cards from your hand, not just any card.

      @matheusaragao7640 2 ปีที่แล้ว +24

      Another add-on. Multicolor cards are now a thing, and to play a multicolor option card (Such as Dark Gaia Force, which is Red/Black) You need either both a red and black card in play, or a multicolor card that is both red and black.

      I am not sure if this was a change or a mistake in the original video, as I have only just started to explore the game, but there is/is now a Mulligan system, whereby the player going first you can redraw if desired, then the player going second may redraw if desired after the first player has chosen to/chosen not to.
      As an aside I found funny, the official rules are also oddly specific that the winner of Rock Paper Scissors goes first rather than getting to choose.

      The resource system makes me wanna try this game on it's own. It's super cool. You can't get "mana screwed," and the more powerful cards you play the more resources you potentially give your opponent to deploy their responses. I've been brewing a homebrew card game and I might revamp the whole thing and steal the Memory system.

    I remember having some Digimon cards growing up. I never learned how that game worked and thought that this might be it. Didn't expect that it was a new game to coincide with a new anime. Sweet! I haven't done much with Digimon in some time now.
    Also, this game is straight up Duel Masters (or Kaijudo if you remember that version). Your five cards in the "security stack" are just like your five shields from your deck in DM. The "security effects" when they are flipped are just like the "shield triggers" in DM that let you cast that card immediately. One difference though is that when your shield is broken, it goes into your hand and not your graveyard (unless you cast it), so it was this great system that allowed you to catch up when you get beaten down. The power scaling on DM cards is also in multiples of 1000 and it's the same combat system of the creature with the greater power destroying the weaker one or trading if they're the same. No damage system there either. Attacking one at a time and your creature tapping to do so is the same. Only creatures with "Blocker" being able to block and needing to tap to block is the same. This game is straight up Duel Masters. That actually makes me more interested.
    Also, tsk tsk Professor. Don't you know that you don't "evolve" your digimon? You can only digivolve them! :P I could nitpick your pronunciation of "Agumon" too if I wanted. XD

    • @Twilord_
      @Twilord_ 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It actually a spiritual successor to a spiritual successor to Duel Masters.
      Duel Masters own Ryan Miller made a game for Bandai called Chrono-Clash, which was supposed to be a huge crossover game - with brands from Naruto and My Hero Academia to Godzilla! Unfortunately the economic and legal realities of that project proved untenable to Bandai; but they didn't want to abandon such an elegant system.
      So they decided to make some further improvements and pair it with an IP that they actually owned. Digimon was the obvious choice.

    • @luliby2309
      @luliby2309 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh, that's really interesting. This "Chrono-Clash" didn't actually make it off the ground though, did it? So I feel like it's still more fair to compare to Duel Masters. It is really similar. That crossover idea is interesting, it's basically what Magic's trying to do, only there it's a bad idea to throw away your unique brand and identity when you already have that. Doing a game that's a big crossover right from the start makes more sense.
      It did feel like this game was sort of like trying to give us Duel Masters again, only pairing it with an IP that's already known to try and make it perhaps more digestible to fans. Very interesting info. Thanks!

    • @Twilord_
      @Twilord_ 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@luliby2309 Chrono-Clash did have some success but as I recall after that the IP holders for the Godzilla version refused to play nice, so they couldn't hold the Godzilla VS Naruto VS Evangelion tournament that they wanted to.
      So it was very much Bandai taking their ball and going home to a franchise they own.

      @luliby2309 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

  • @TokenDuelist
    @TokenDuelist 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    There's a mistake when describing the When Digivolving in the breeding area section.
    It is referring to when YOUR Digimon digivolves in the breeding area. It's When Digivolving effects do not activate. Beelzemon can still use it's effect if your opponent has another Digimon in play. Gabumon simply cannot be targetted by any effects regardless (unless it specifies the breeding area) because it's in the breeding area. They also cannot move a Digitama/Digi-Egg card, it must at least be Lv.3 or Higher.
    A much simpler way to describe it is "Digimon in the breeding area cannot be targetted by card effects, or activate their own effects unless that effect specifies the breeding area" because the Beelzemon description isn't completely wrong, but also wrong at the same time.

    It's great to see someone as big as yourself shine some light on this really neat cardgame.
    Also want to add some stuff that was omitted in the video or not clear:
    >Your turn end when your memory goes below 0 AND once every effect finished resolving. For example if you attack for 2 securities and the first one is Hammer spark, even if you go below 0 you'll still keep going until the attack is finished. Another example from the green starter deck, you're at 1, you use "Needle Spray" (2 memory: suspend one of your opponent's digimon), BUT you have a Izzy in play which reads "[Your Turn] When one of your opponent's Digimon becomes suspended, you may suspend this Tamer to gain 1 memory." you can suspend it to go back to 0 and stay in your turn.
    >Also you can attack your opponent's security OR their suspended Digimons when attacking
    Still a great video to start playing, easy to understand and top quality like all of your content, and I hope you and everyone else looking at this video will have fun playing

    minor update, some tournaments (in NA and Europe at least) allow a full hand mulligan, putting the 5 cards to the bottom of the deck.
    also is important to note that dual colour option cards require you to have BOTH colours present on your field (nursery is considered present on your field for option cards), this also matters for when the option card pops in security.

    I've played yugioh, hearthstone, mtg, legends of runeterra and now digimon. This game is very fun and pretty unique. The math behind it and the tempo is very interesting.

    This card game only just came to my country and my brother and I have started collecting because we're both lifelong Digimon fans. So excited to start playing, it seems so unique and fun! We were both confused about the memory mechanic so I'm really grateful for how well it was explained here!

    Y’all, please share this with folks who’ve been on the fence or who’ve seemed even remotely interested in the game! This video will help grow the community even more, and there’s lots of good resources out there/people who love helping out new players to answer their questions after they watch. Video is clear and concise, and I’m so happy it’s here! Thank you, Professor! You’re the best! ❤️

    Just as a more recent update, Mulligans are now being incorporated into the game...
    So now the beginning of the game state will be
    1)Shuffle Deck and Egg deck
    2)Decide who goes first
    3)Draw starting 5 cards
    4)Mulligan (optional) by shuffling all 5 cards into the deck and drawing your new 5 cards (only one mulligan)
    5)Start the game

    Thank you for putting more eyes on to Digimon TCG. I have been collecting cards more so than playing since it's release, but strengthening it's popularity will allow Bandai to continue making cards and indulging in my collecting habit. Hope you consider making more digimon content. I always preferred Digimon more than Pokemon as a kid so it's refreshing to see it give it another go at tcg.

    Gameplay feels very similar to duelmasters, very interesting. I can see why "rookie rush" type strategies would seem popular for this game. Overall, I really like the art of the cards and it seems to me that the card quality (i.e materials, coloring, foiling process and general sturdiness of each piece of cardboard) is really high. Great vid prof, got a good glance into how to play the game.

      Amusingly its actually a spiritual successor to a spiritual successor to Duel Masters.
      Chrono-Clash (designed by Duel Masters own Ryna Miller) was a very interesting experiment which was intended as a kind of crossover for broad-range of IP... but ultimately doing a board-game model similar to Universes Beyond Secret-Lairs was untennable.
      Bandai refused to let so many good ideas die, so they instead used them as the basis for a more traditional TCG using a brand they owned. At that point its easy to imagine why Digimon was the natural pick!

    @CabalTherapist 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    So happy to see more and more channels, especially ones not already Digimon focused, talking about the TCG. Playing it has got me back into my local card game scene where other games didn't, and I've been a proponent of it from day 1.
    I love that due to how the mechanics work, evolution is key to the game unlike Pokémon where many decks rely on 1-stage Pokémon, so you are encouraged to build with cards of all rarities, making deck building more affordable.
    I understand a lot of folk were put off the first two sets due to high demand and low supply, but I really feel like the game has found it's groove and will only get stronger.

    Very happy to see this game discussed! I love this game and was so frustrated to see that supply issues and scalpers hobbling the game before it started. It's fun with lots of interesting strategies, beautiful artwork (including recent old style tcg art) and is a pretty affordable game. One deck, Rookie Rush, had been a meta juggernaut for a long time and was extremely cheap to build. Boxes tend to have solid value, with alt arts that are beautiful on their own, but very tradable if you'd rather have more cards than bling.

    @marvelsandals4228 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Glad you made this video. I've been playing the game with a friend for about a month now & I must say it is REALLY fun. This game benefits greatly from being a new game. The basic rules & mechanics of the game are reminiscent of other popular games like Magic, but with many fresh twists on old systems. Even the security (life) & memory (mana) operate in a way that is very distinct from other popular card games & add tons of opportunities for a skilled player to incorporate strategy into deckbuilding & how to play out each turn. There are all kinds of seemingly minor quirks that improve the experience as well. For example, there are many effects that let you reveal X cards from the top of your deck & add 1 of them to your hand. In most other card games, the cards you don't add would be shuffled back into your deck, which means lots of shuffling & waiting for your opponent to shuffle their deck, but this game is different. The cards you don't add are placed on the bottom of your deck in any order you like. That simple change means you can quickly add a card, & move on with your turn, without wasting any time. If you're curious, I highly recommend you give the game a try.
