Digimon TCG | ALL HAIL YOUR ROYAL BASE-IST! QUEENBEEMON!

[@kalamander8563]

I dont care how good this deck is, I'm building it. It's such a cool idea for a deck.

[@DIGI-PANDA]

My only surprise for this deck was that it wasn't yellow. Security related effects always feel yellow to me at this point.

[@oreox1000]

Played the deck and it is really fun when you get everything rolling. Tucking things with you egg, accumulation of memory with your tamer, and the fantastic payoff when Queenbee plays a TigerVespa from security to lock down the opponents board and do really big damage. Fun deck that I can’t recommend enough.

[@CodenameJD]

​@@DIGI-PANDAYeah, we're starting to see where the priorities are for placing Digimon in colours, or rather how they've shifted from early on. Both the security shenanigans aspect of this deck, plus the colour scheme of the Digimon, would suggest this should be a yellow/black deck. Evidently, though, they prioritised the colours matching the existing archetypes, i.e. green for insect and black for machine/cyborg. It _would_ be a let down to not be able to run Kokuwamon X here. Still, I think it's good to see security effects branch into other colours, though I'm not sure green needed that compared to, say, red. Maybe a future Phoenixmon line could allow you to recover your deleted phoenix cards into security?

[@ArtDadDraws]

Bahaha the Megaman X music in the background is an amazing meme for this 😂 For those who don't know, the opening level has a giant bee midboss

[@DIGI-PANDA]

[@Swaaall]

I think another card worth mentioning is the lvl3 KoKabuterimon from bt16 which searches for Insectoids. While not as good as the other searchers, it looks through 4 cards and it also works as a digi-evolution source giving 1k DP while suspended. That being said, a lot of the cards from the Insectoid/Tyrant deck can be added to boost its power! Promo Kuwagamon, many of the Stingmons and the Tyrant himself come to mind.

[@mattheusjob3287]

Kokuwamon x is another choice, bec he can search for Insectoids and the X-antibody option

[@DIGI-PANDA]

All valid points to consider! Do you want a deeper dig for searching or do you want potentially more hits? For the early look at this build, the level 4's I was looking into was Bladekuwagamon for extra DP and promo Kuwagamon as well! But ultimately I settled on wanting to cheat out my tamers because I felt that'd be the better play.

[@dorugoramon0518]

This deck being in black also allows it to benefit from a lot of the prior black focused archetypal x-antibody support. Since double alliance is a thing, Shuu Yulin under queenbeemon can easily nuke large amounts of security and fix your memory at start of turn, or let you have a large blocker with reboot depending on whats face-up in your security. You could also run the Kosuke, but the deck already has ways to give everything blocker, and piercing is already on one of your level 6s.

[@DIGI-PANDA]

All valid targets for the deck! My main concern is speed when it comes to your opponent playing their tamers via their Digimon effects. But this deck? Lacks the ability to play black tamers unless you go the Mamemon route. Which honestly isn't bad either because you can set up pseudo blockers if you don't have the level 5's in security revealed.

[@Skelyte]

Only thing i am probably gonna change from this list is one of the protoforms for a copy of recharge plug-in q. I like the idea of being able to possibly give queenbeemon battle protection as well.

[@DIGI-PANDA]

Absolutely! My deck profiles are intended for a baseline for players and from there make adjustments. Just because I like something doesn't mean it's the only way. Decks are an ever changing recipe suited to each player.

[@oreox1000]

I was saddened by the fact that the egg couldn’t place Hornet Eraser, but honestly that would make the egg kind of busted in archetype. I opted to run Shuu as my alternate tamer for added pressure. Two Kokuwa X and two BT16 Ukko to search for tamers and the potential mission critical Digimon. Saw a list running MagnaAngemon ACE and it’s worked well enough. Spot removal of floodgates and adding cards to security is incredibly valuable.

[@DIGI-PANDA]

Removal wise, I feel like the deck list here looks at suspending and attacking over. Though your level 5's have some leniency to help with removal as well.

[@justabunchoffloatingeyes3829]

I run Max Copies of Ukkomon instead of the Izzys and the Terriermon since Ukkomon hatches an Egg when something moves out of raising. Completely replacing my security with Royal Base Cards I feel is best for both aggro AND defense as you can start "boardwiping" by hardplaying some higher level Digimon. I also use Kari from BT8 as the Memory Tamer for this Deck, as since you're always adding to your Security Stack, it basically sets you to 4 each turn.

[@DIGI-PANDA]

I like this! With Ukkomon this offers you the ability to be a bit more flexible with your searches as well. Kari Kamiya is definitely a spicier take as well! Because this cuts back on your digivolution costs as well.

[@anthonyrealmuto1844]

It would have been DOPE if TigerVespamon would have been an ACE. That way the queen would be a regular digimon and the Tiger would be more of a surprise

[@DIGI-PANDA]

We'll likely see this in the future. It would not surprise me at all.

[@bugking1413]

Since I don't have Protoforms, I've built my deck a bit more aggressively using the original X-antibody. For me, the level 6s are swapped, and I've liked Tigervespamon more since it does more board control as I set up my security for Queenbeemon. Plus, with the level 5s inheritables and piercing, you can clear the same if not more security than with alliance on Queenbeemon. I also personally teched in a copy of X Digivolution, which even if you don't digivolve, you can just put any trashed X antibody cards underneath your stack to get the inheritables. Double trashing security can be clutch.

[@DIGI-PANDA]

Protoforms will be one of the big limiting factor with this deck. Hilariously, you could use X program in the deck too considering a majority of your deck is X-Antibody and save from the removal effects. Though other decks like Magnamon X do not care.

[@Missure_E]

I am a huge fan of the line, so I am building this deck regardless of how strong it is (I also just love Black/Green decks in general). I think it has the coolest gimmick in the game, face up security could shake things up in a fun way. I also like how it has recovery, but in a non-toxic form. It will be very interesting to see how it plays out, I don't think it will be a top tier deck but I do think it will be a lot of fun to play.

[@DIGI-PANDA]

It's a waiting game now on when the next support comes out. So far, it doesn't look like we're getting anything with BT20 or 21. EX8 hasn't revealed everything yet but I'm leaning on it won't be unless we get additional traits for the Royal Base Digimon in the form of Nature Spirits.

[@DaigonRoogen]

Green base Black X Antibody here I GO!!! Yeah, I can't wait for this deck to be out. Tamers you didn't mention that could be used are Shuu Yulin & Maki Himekawa. Another tech that can be used is Mamemon from BT11 to play out the tamers for free.

[@DIGI-PANDA]

Maki could definitely be spicy here for the Tapir search as well. And of course Mame helps with playing tamers. It's always a more archetypal thing for the first run. The only ones that got a pass for me on this one were Terriermon and Togemon XD.

[@christopherbennett5858]

Not bad. Frankly, my little brother might enjoy this since, back in our cardfight vanguard days, I helped him build a Gredora deck since he loved Megacolony. I could see, because this archetype loves security manipulation, 1-2 copies of Shivamon ace when that debuts.

[@DIGI-PANDA]

I almost forgot about Shivamon ACE XD there are so many cards we should've had at this point. Luckily we have a drought period for the next month and a half.

[@christopherbennett5858]

@@DIGI-PANDA Well, aside from the LM set. I think my issue with the whole thing is that there’s so many cards and, being in the uk, supply issues. Plus, the holiday season is coming up.

[@bearberserker]

It makes sense that ACE Digimon would cause trouble. The potential it has to swarm the battle area is potent, but with the right ACE, it could wipe out the field.

[@dorugoramon0518]

The guilmon ACE support coming out in particular, either this set or next, will make swarming decks a lot harder.

[@DIGI-PANDA]

ACE are going to be problematic for the time being. I wish we had some stun capability with preventing Digimon from digivolving.

[@dorugoramon0518]

​@@DIGI-PANDA A new (yellow) marineangemon was revealed for the upcoming EX set that literally shuts down all of your opponents digivolution effects while you have 1 or more memory. It doesnt completely stop stuff like megagargomon and wargreymon ACE from becoming blockers, but it certainly messes with most ACE effects. yellow and deep savers decks will get the optimal use out of it, but it can add itself to your hand from security, and has a low play cost for a level 6, so I could see some decks just running it as a 1 of for ACE (and magnamon X) hate.

[@UnusualCrate]

While I'm currently tinkering with TyrantKabu at the top end, I've also been considering Leopardmon X at 2 copies for play my 5's and even 6's at 7 less and bounce digimon back every turn.

[@DIGI-PANDA]

This would be the appropriate route to take in my opinion just based on the removal of ACE's pre-emptively.

[@deathwingzero117]

I think gawalt schwarmer could do crazy things with queenbeemon cos it delete all 7 playcost or less including your digimons

[@DIGI-PANDA]

The real secret is in today's short that I'm dropping ;)

[@deathwingzero117]

I declare, machinedramon green base is posible thanks to this archetype

[@DIGI-PANDA]

So many shenanigans to do here too. I think I'll leave it black base or purple base for the time being though.

[@Danzibe89]

there are also many black tamers you can use like Shuu Yuulin, Marvin Jackson, and Maki

[@DIGI-PANDA]

You definitely could! Maki even supplements with Tapirmon too since there is a black version you can digivolve from.

[@Danzibe89]

@@DIGI-PANDA even if you don't run Tapir, you get a search and reduced digivolution costs

[@WelshGiraffa]

Cannot wait for this deck

[@DIGI-PANDA]

Even if it's cheap(er), outside of Protoforms, the deck should overall be relatively low cost.

[@StarkMaximum]

More like Royal Based because this deck seems really cool

[@DIGI-PANDA]

There's a few other tricks I haven't covered with the deck. Today's short looks at one of those cards.

[@valerry6474]

Actually infuriating how there’s no way to put Hornet Eraser into security

[@DIGI-PANDA]

One day, we'll get a card that does put it into the security. Face up. So it stares. Menacingly.

[@dlscrub6207]

I think big issue is having the cards face up in security. No fear to swing.

[@DigiTism]

The deck has blocker with DP boost and the level fives have that all turns trash security when they delete a card. Also, Izzy.

[@oreox1000]

Also Waspmon keeps opposing Digimon from swinging if they’re smaller than him.

[@DIGI-PANDA]

Gotta go fast as I always say.

[@DigiDane0]

I'm gonna have to make some sacrifices (demons and whatnot) but I swear I'll make this deck good 😂

Usually is. Scrambles appear to be 2 of's in a lot of lists in Japan at this time.

[@kyubi427]

im looking forward to royal base and gonna test around with it. have a question though, saw a build before for the lvl 6 line they threw in leopardmon X antibody and 4 queenbeemon what you think about leopadmon x with this deck?

[@DIGI-PANDA]

You can definitely go about this route as well! I kept the deck in theme with the queen and her mighty soldier but the Leopardmon X is an X-Antibody target that is searchable.

[@kyubi427]

@@DIGI-PANDA I saw the ratios for that deck list was 4 queen bees and 3 leopardmon x, thinking if I do it might do like 4 queen bees and 2 leopard x and 1 tiger vesp. Still thinking of ratios but thinking of trying all possibilities to see what works good

@@kyubi427 one route is tuck Tiger with the egg and when you swing Queen you can play it from security for 4 memory. Gives board lockdown and makes her huge when using alliance.

[@lukeroberts8473]

You play jp and beetlemons in it right?

You could! Not saying you can't, it's not the style I'd gravitate to immediately.

[@latitude990]

They didn't even give us enough pieces for the first green black x-anti deck and now we're getting another incomplete one.... cmon bandai enough with the teasing

[@DIGI-PANDA]

It's understandable. They don't want something that's insanely powerful on it's first release. BT9 kind of taught them that.

[@latitude990]

@@DIGI-PANDA It kinda just feels like they were gonna finish the first archetype but got distracted or just re-created it in the Dex archetype instead. Idk it's very puzzling

Aye

[@DIGI-PANDA]

While not the top tier competitive deck that everyone will be playing, I think it has some new elements for players to explore. Plus who doesn't like to show their security XD.

[@Geugenio]

I still don't get it why this deck wasn't made black and yellow, green seems so off

[@DIGI-PANDA]

Green usually defines nature and insectoid. Personally, I wish we could've gotten a green/black Tentomono/Izzy deck but it was never meant to be. I do get the case of black and yellow though - especially with these effects.

[@nomnom2407]

Alright, i get that QueenBee is the "boss monster" for this deck, but hear me out. TyrantKabuterimon. (and maybe black/yellow AncientBeetlemon) It is a more aggressive playstyle, but it's worth trying. It's been going well for me so far.

[@DIGI-PANDA]

Respectable as well! I was looking at mainly the royal base as a standalone archetype. I know some players may have lit torches and raised pitch forks if I didn't use Togemon and Terriermon. But they definitely supplement what's currently there.

[@Levi-pg7lu]

I've been playing with and constantly tweaking this deck for last month or more (printed out proxy cards) and have been having an absolute blast with it. Tyrantkabuterimon in as 2 and reduce queenbee down to 2 has been my play. Running 4 tigers and using izzy as another green tamer to help keep security safe. Its fun to attack with queen, pull out a tiger from sec to suspend down the board and alliance, then next turn playing tyrant on queen and playing a tiger from hand off its effect just straight makes opponents rage
