The BlackWarGreymon alternate art is my favorite too! I would argue it actually is a good card... as long as you can guarantee you're playing against Bloomlordmon.
@aronmiller764811 ай бұрын
Yeah it is actually not bad in particular match ups or even situations where you need more swings to clear a board. I have been in game I wished I had him lmao. Get two swings off and could not deal with the board and lose.

Still love malomyotismon. Maybe with the newer ace myotismon he can sort of slot in again. The latter bt8 is fun but also slow

Hexeblau was actually my ace card in a chaos sealed event - somehow the more chaotic, incoherent nature of a sealed event really allowed that card to thrive. Good video, tho!

Thanks fam 😊 it really breaks my heart Hexeblau didnt turn out as well as he deserved. Card is so cool, and I LOVE the alt art! I still have him together and updated for the copium 😭

i think/believe that the new bt14 ikkakumon can help hexablau, inherited "opponent digimon with less digievolution sources than this card can not attack"
@lulzvg11 ай бұрын
DexDorugora has such good synergy with GranDracmon but until BT14 dark animal didn't have enough support to compete even on a casual level. I tried looking to see if there were any tops since on the JP side and haven't seen one yet. Hopefully they'll shine eventually.

1st ever tourney win was with Hexblau. As you pointed out, he did not do any damage, but with the Ulforce bt2 as the 2nd lv6, you can do good burst damage outta no where.

I'm a dedicated BlackWarGreymon player and I've been trying to make every single version of the card work. I've been trying to sneak BT2 BlackWarGreymon into as many traditional lists as I can but I always end up taking it out. It really always feels like copium. I tell myself the infinite attacks wins me the Belphemon, MetalGarurumon, and Chaosdramon matchups but it almost never comes up, or doesn't come up in a way where I couldn't have just won in other ways instead. I found that the main issue is that it's inherently reactive; the whole advantage of infinite attacks is that you can take out something with lots of layers of protection, or a very wide board. That means for it to be useful, you have to have already ALLOWED your opponent to get a huge stack with protection, or a very wide board. BT8 BlackWarGreymon is more proactive as it shuts down tamers when digivolving, and of course X and Gaiomon apply tons of pressure themselves. That said, I DID pull it off exactly ONCE in tournament against a Belphemon player to take out every single Gizmon that kept replacing themselves AND the Sleep Mode and it was the hypest thing; even my opponent was impressed. It was definitely win more, but at least I can say I made it!
@Hulavuta11 ай бұрын
I wrote this before finishing the entire video and I see you mentioned similar criticisms with Hexeblaumon. The raising area mechanic definitely makes control somewhat inconsistent
@aronmiller764811 ай бұрын
I am also a a dedicated blackwar player and I will say as a one of in bt15 will not be a bad choice. Melga is fast it will have protection guaranteed and board are getting wide no doubt about it. I believe a one of tech is not bad.
@AvidHerpetologist11 ай бұрын
As much as we dont wana admit it, the 4 cost evo still hurts without an on-digivolve effect too... bt8 blackwar guarentees value if the turn passes but bt2 doesnt sadly :( Having enough mem to go into him before the turn passes can still be a challenge
@Hulavuta11 ай бұрын
I agree, the 4 cost hurts a lot since you have to specifically set up boosts to not pass turn. BT8 sometimes 4cost is HELPFUL because you can start at 3, delete the memory tamer and then choke them to 1 haha. It will be cool to see if it makes a comeback in BT15! I'm honestly surprised they haven't printed a new one yet. WarGreymon's already gotten like 3 more since the last time we got a new BlackWarGreymon.

It helped me win a store championship with my bwgX deck. I ran it as tech as a 1 of to board clear Vs bloomlord and melga by just beating over everything and the evolving into BWGx to control the table.

Played the hell out of Hexeblau when I first started the game. Felt like it actually did pretty well into Gabubond with Majira but struggled into pure swings like Jesmon. Definitely could've been a peripheral deck for that BT6 format, but was underexplored because the best decks were obvious

And now Rust Tyrannomon gets an ACE card. And I think the bt-2 Tyrannomon can still see some play in Tyrannomon decks. It can easily be a 1300 to 1500 monster with inheritables and tamer effects if you using the deck right. The green/black one might still be better just with how cheap you can get a 1300 (probably 1500-1700 with the same inheritable and tamer effects) monster.
@AvidHerpetologist10 ай бұрын
Yep, I think sadly the ace is the final nail for BT2 rusty. Why attack one unsuspended digimon when you can instead suspend down the entire field, for cheaper cost, with higher dp, and a security trashing effect, plu the blast digivolve mechanic 😅 its everything BT2 rusty wanted to be but vastly improved.
