@alledzebu1975 you mean the new Tommy? Idk if Tommy is super worth running, but if you meant the new Lanamon that searchers for Aquatic cards, heck yeah I saw and I cant wait to include her!! Theres also a new Sangomon that got revealed for... i think bt19? So thats two searchers the deck will have access to now, finally helping solve the consistancy issues!

@@AvidHerpetologist i was actually talking about her, and a few support cards for her specifically: ``` Yao Qinglan BT19-082 U <04> LIBERATOR [Start of Your Turn] If you have 2 or less memory, set it to 3. [Your Turn] When any of your Digimon with [Aqua] or [Sea Animal] in any of its traits attacks, by suspending this Tamer, place 1 level 5 or lower such Digimon card from your hand as that Digimon's bottom digivolution card. --- [Security] Play this card without paying the cost. ```

@alledzebu1975 oh yeah, the bt19 stuff weve gotten is awesome! Hoping they put out an umtimate and Mega for Sangomon as well, which it seems like they will since all the other Liberator characters have gotten full lines so far

@TheDan14 yep, I hate that about typical deck profiles for other games. I always try to have the full deck displayed at the end, and the list in the description in case theres any confusion about whats what. Im already planning on updates for the new set, Aegis is becomming one of my favorite decks to play. Im a sucker for a deck with unique playstyle

@@LazurBeemz thank you for this! 😊

@user-iq8xm5rh1q i was considering doing one for EX6 but since we didnt really get anything new Im prob just guna wait till BT17 drops in a few weeks! Im debating if I wana do another black base uldate or cover Purple, snce thats what alot of lists are going with at the moment!

@tuankietnguyen9714 nope! Thats BT14 Buka! BT7 is still at 3 :)

@@AvidHerpetologist oh that's the other one thanks

@JMJAPO the more I play with it, I will say the play patterns are kind of tricky. The ceiling the deck has is really solid but Xiangpeng can be awkward to use in practice. Im mulling over swapping my level 6 ratios to 3 Xiangpeng 3 Regalecus just because one is a lot stronger offensively and the other is better defensively, ive found it nice to be able to pivot depending on what the opp is up to

@jonjonthedon2505 giga is coming soon, I can practically taste it... id wager when Giga comes out itll be alongside the SeadraX line which ive been saying for awhile now is going to be a massive buff to Aegis just off the fact that it doubles the number of sources usable in your stack. SUPER excited to see what we get when it comes 👀

it's actually "shi-shue", it means magpie in chinese

Good to know I thought it was shi-chew-ae-mon for the pronunciation I heard someone call the mega shi-ang-pung-mon I wonder about that.

@kingdragoonmk10 cyberdramon isnt until December 😭😭 its guna be a long wait sadly. As far as trailmon, yep! The collision / security trash route is guna be another new direction Machine can take, but its guna be kind of awkward since Trail cant be tucked by EX1 Machine or EX3 Chaosdramon. Its something im looking forward to experimenting with though!

@gerardobrito3408 jamming only works if you connect with security, and right now both TyrantKabuteri and MagnaX will make sure that doesnt happen 😅 raw dp is just too important to topple a format of tall stacks packed with immunity, so i opted for Tai to help make sure we clear the dp thresholds that are asked of us. Very notably, a Machinedramon backed up by a single Tai reaches 13k which means MagnaX cant safely swing through it and needs another way to trigger his immunity on followup turns

@chrisjohnson4402 Yeah, the diving in Costa Maya was pretty so-so, but to be fair the waves were 3-4 foot and we didn't even attempt the second dive 😅 they had us in a tiny little fishing boat packed with like 10 people, then the storm started picking up even more and we didn't want to risk it. I wound up seeing a sea turtle myself but that was aboutbit aside from the plentiful reef fish. The reef itself was pretty cool though, massive chasms and cracks in the rock formation

Ive made that exact argument before. As it stands he just doesnt have a strategy he fits cleanly into. He still does like... okay? In Tyranno lists but theres very little incentive to play him over other alternatives

Red Hybrid in my experience is heavily slanted in Machine's favor, but its a question of speed. If they cant kill you outright, they get punished hard on the crackback. Its a deck that relies strictly on normal deletion so it plays into Machine's strengths.

That is incorrect, no such errata exists. Burst digivolving is just an alternate digivolution condition, it's in the same vein as DNA Digivolving or any of the other such methods. If you meet the special digivolution method requirements you are free to use that alternate method, but as long as there's base digivolution requirements (a colored circle that outlines what you digivolve from on the left side of the card) you can digivolve using that method at any time. Just like if I have bt8 Kimeramon, obviously digivolving through the DNA method is preferred, but he can still digivolve from any color level 4 for a cost of 4

I picked up the materials for purple base and am just waiting to get a few things in the mail atm! I think purple base has a lot of strengths, it just also has some scary weaknesses. If you cant establish a black source you can have a hard time doing much during the course of the game, but Ukko and Demimera can obviously help to hopefully keep that from being a problem

@@AvidHerpetologist yeah, it's rough playing out the supreme connections if you don't have analogman and the opponent has a chokehold on the field, like versus numemon or yellow decks for example. floodgates that prevent supreme connection and or ex1 machinedramon's memory gain is also a problem, and numemon can comfortably run both

Idk what it is but my silly inner child just gets so hyped hearing him shout the name of the attack. I get the same goosbumps I do when I hear Omnimon shout "Supreme Cannon". It just resonates in your gut, good stuff 👌

I mean sure I dont NEED to, but nostalgia and reminiscing on those moments from childhood is the purpose of the video! I try to keep my explanations in alot of my content fairly concise, especially when im aiming for a full 10-point discussion, but with this one I wanted to take my time and really explore the references and why they were so emotionally impactful in the first place 🙂 it's a hard balance to try and make it digestable for people who may not have known one particular reference and want to know the backstory, while also giving people who DO know the reference a chance to enjoy and remember the moment itself.

Totally agree, basically every iteration of Malo and the cards around him have been great, id honestly be hard pressed to pick just one and would likely have to discuss them all 😅

That approach is def not one ive heard! I like the d-brigade package alot but hadnt considered how well it synergizes with Ryo. As far as top end yeah, I strongly recommend swapping out the machines for connections. Im actually adjusting my list after some more testing, going down to only 7 rookies and 5 champs while bumping up AHMD to 3, its just utterly vital to be able to blitz in EX1 on pivotal turns. Ex1 is by far the best card in the deck right now, ive considered bumping him up to 4 even, but i think that could be a few too heavy on the topend. I will say time and time again Tai is proving to be exceptional this format, the dp boost is relevant in just about every matchup right now. Im still very wary of EX3 Cyberdramon though, there are situations id rather just have the boost, especially in the Tyrant matchup where if its Cyberdramon you cant swing over it unless they choose to redirect, and i tend to shy away from scenarios that put the decision in my opponents hands. That being said, including a copy of ex3 WITH the bt6 pair sounds solid. I even said in the video, db buffs are hugely relevant right now.

​@@AvidHerpetologist when you attack with machine, you can suspend ryo to give machinedramon 1k, and when he becomes suspended he keeps your ex3 cyberdramon's DP buff active when you attack, giving +3k in total both on your turn and your opponent's turn, but yeah it definitely can be bad if you don't see both when you need to, i understand the preference of consistency with the DP megadramon/gigadramons

Tbh i love everything about the RK archetype. I need to refresh on the X Antibody storyline before including it in a vid though! But considering Omni went from the ultimate hero to literally attempting genocide, Id say the story is interesting enough to cover 😅

Depends on how you mean. If youre referring to Mother-D, then no, shes unaffected by the effects of your Opp's Digimon under any and all circumstances. But let's say your opp was somehow in a position with multiple searchers on board, yes it would target one and delete them all

@@AvidHerpetologist okay that makes sense. One of my friends likes to run the D Reaper deck and I was just curious if that would be a good counter

Both great ones!

The dub music might be campy, but gosh darn it if it doesnt just add to that early 2000's atmosphere for me today. Wouldnt have it any other way!

@@AvidHerpetologist I still own that soundtrack album. It's a time capsule.

Brooo, i hadnt actually considered that 🤔 Also, just as an aside, still get goosebumps hearing him growl "I'm Greymon now."

@@AvidHerpetologist also the new Diaboromon win condition card is called “Clock of the End” you win the game by having all 4 of these cards in the battle area. Its the reference to how they had to defeat diaboromon before the nukes exploded

You're just jealous you never got to enjoy Wendigomon jammin to Smash Mouth 😏😂 yeah its campy but its also very early 2000s, it might be cringe, but its still my childhood 😅

@@AvidHerpetologist im glad this time the german dub didnt just copy the usa dub XD i feel bad for the americans ngl

@cycle1990 dont lol it really isnt that bad. I enjoyed the 2020 show enough to watch through it twice but my issues with it were more structural than anything. (Idk why they thought it was a good idea to start the show off by copying the Our War Game plot.. the reason that movie was so hype was because of the payoff after the original show)

@@AvidHerpetologist idk about that, do you still do your own music? Or are you keeping the original? :D imo always watch in original dub with subtitles

Haha low hanging fruit or not, sometimes it's just nice to reminisce 🙂 tbh I wish id played Digimon World back in the day, I know there are a ton of references to that game but it's alot harder to catch up on than just watching a TV series 🙃
