MetalEtemon VS MetalGarurumon X!! | Digimon Card Game: EX5 Animal Colosseum Beast Wars (ROUND 1)

[@atamisirli3620]

Matt: So...what happened? Omegamon: I think i hit him so hard now he is seeing an alternate universe where he won...

[@rustmarrow]

ngl, this is a VERY MetalEtemon thing to do HAHAHA

[@rustmarrow]

Missed EX5 WereGaruru X ruling: (at 02:45, 09:30 & 15:18) WereGaruru X cannot recycle a card if you do not trash 2 for the first part of the effect. But fortunately it doesn't really affect the outcome(s) of this video so I will be leaving it as is! It was an ordeal trying to get a decent match between these 2 decks where both sides are able to fully showcase their mechanics, which is why this video took quite a while. Every Lv.6 in the MGX deck has the ability to remove EX5 MetalEte before it can rig Security, countering the monkey's forced attack combo. On the other hand, some lucky Security on MetalEte's part can break MGX's OTK and potentially setup a field that is close to impenetrable for Garuru. With my hectic schedule this year, at some point I had to make the call to just take the next match I record and include some bonus content which showcases the reverse outcome. (That's just for fun btw, the winner is still the one who took the first half of the video.) In any case, although I am quite sick of featuring it already, our first finalist has been decided! Let's see who rises to face it in Semifinal 2...

[@joonas394]

KingEtemon to Omegamon X: "Aren't we forgetting one itty bitty detail? I AM KING WHILE YOU ARE JUST KNIGHT"

[@KripdomIII]

Omegamon X: Wouldn’t be the first King I’d go against

[@Boxshadow]

Thank you for showing an alternate reality where a rogue deck like my sweet Etemon can win and not just get dominated lol

[@UnusualOtaku]

I’m always reminders of the digimon abridge line: When Etamon isn’t on the screen, people should be saying “where’s Etamon?!”

[@ThatJaymsWisdom]

This was painful to watch as a massive MetalEtemon fan. But it does perfectly encapsulate what it's like playing the Sukamon deck. Usually it's an uphill battle and there is basically nothing you can do if memory chokes. But every now and then you get set up with your tamers and make a big board that gets you a win.

[@erkko8027]

Heck yea, just needs that memo tamer

[@TheDarkFiddler]

I think the final play of the video showcased something really important here - against a single-stack deck like this (that has heavy name-reliance), SukaEte's best bet is to rush to fill the trash with the cards needed to activate KingSukamon. If MelgaX's stack is a Sukamon it can't Digivolve OR activate its inherited battle protection. Easier said than done, of course, but it is a way to strike surprisingly hard against this meta-topping foe.

[@alasto67r]

Can't wait to see Gracenova against MelgaX in the finals. Gracenova is a pretty hard matchup for purple Melga thanks to crescimon's stun. Would've loved to see Anubismon running rampant in this tournament since the deck smacks pretty hard on all the other decks in EX5 but still been a fun tournament.

[@josefbajarias3109]

How tho?

[@thunderhogTH]

I hate to bust out the rulebook here rust, but 2:43 according to the rules, if you dont perform the discard 2 to unsuspend, you can't do the following effect to add back to hand. Straight from the Japanese QnA. Can't really say how it affects the end result since we can't see the hands, but they wouldve had to drop at least 2 cards to grab back that metalgaruru ace the second time around

[@rustmarrow]

Oops, keep tripping up on those "By... Then..." effects. Thanks for pointing it out! But yes, I don't think it affects the outcome so I'll just keep the match as is and note this in my pinned comment. They drew into their entire deck and had more than enough hand to spare (and they actually didn't need the recycle).

[@thunderhogTH]

​@@rustmarrowjust to be fair on this since handsize is hard to keep track here, did you have enough fodder in had to discard to grab garuru ace back while also keeping both omni and metalgaruru X in hand? Either way I'm sure garuru would've had this but it's defiantly a awkward situation. Dont fault you on it.

[@rustmarrow]

Yep and also, they already had MetalGaruru ACE in hand - I was just kinda grabbing it for fun at that point haha

[@thunderhogTH]

@@rustmarrow all good then. Didn't mean to be a monkeys lawyer but I know you like these fights to be honest. Also someone's gotta give etamon a chance

[@rustmarrow]

Yep if the outcome was dependent on a WGX misplay... back to the grind is all I can say

[@calebashton1]

Yeah, there was no way the monkey was winning this one, but it was a fun showcase anyway.

[@SgtOsaka]

Great match! What is the name of the song that starts at around 4:30? It feels so familiar but I can't remember where I know it from and it drives me crazy

[@ashleyrichards9339]

That was so frikin cool!!! Not going to lie I love both of these decks!

[@rustmarrow]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@george746]

Timeframe: 13:55, how did MetalGarurumon turn ends and MetalEtamon turn he draws? I thought it would still be Etamon turn like resuming, not ending? I don't understand.

[@coroanmon10023]

Overflow. Melga's overflow cost gave turn back to Etamon

[@Aqua909]

hey! big fan of the channel, and i was wondering what the song you use at 10:27 is called?

[@darkraven666ful]

very good narration Could you tell me what song plays when you use the X anti boody?

[@TheLoligag]

At approx. 13:55, does the turn pass before the Ace overflow resolves as a result of deletion? Shouldn’t this be a continuation of the current turn for Metaleta?

[@MojoStrummer]

The current turn was Melga, Omni triggered the security Ete, which caused the metalete to be played, killing Omni, triggering overflow, and then passing turn from Melga to metalete

[@BlackZeroEX]

Melga doing Melga things as per usual Monkey got hit into a delusional state after that beating sheesh Levia 7DL vs GraceNova definitely will be a fun one to watch next but how either of them will stack against Melga will be just as interesting if not more

[@LordTyph]

So, what is the setting for all of this, if I can ask? My thoughts when I did the little preview things for the BT 15 stuff was something like a neutral zone sort of thing, where all the different Digital worlds (and their respective human worlds) could meet. Just curious what your mindset is on this, if I'm not being dumb.

[@vmr5026]

What was theat song the played whenever garurumon went hard?

[@raikaria3090]

I'm gonna predict before this starts that MGaru wins. He kinda dominated Round 1 while MetalEte struggled; and... well... MGaruru has the entire MGaru toolbox, the 2nd most supported archetype in the game after Greymon. My heart wants Ete and the poop gang to win but... Edit: Yeah; MetalGarurumon hard stomped 5-0. Poor Etemon. The alt scenario shows the value of memory tamers however.

[@gustavogonzalez3591]

Excellent video as always, just one question, why didn't OmegamonX/MetalgarurumonX protected itself with the Garurumon X effect? Was it fir show or is there a hidden rule I haven't read, because Inwas sure it could have survived every time MetalEtemon tried to delete it 🤔

[@rustmarrow]

Garuru X/Gabu X's inheritable only protects against battle deletion! Not effect deletion

[@Voltexfinal]

Well…that’s just prime.

[@sobbiess]

Are these played on TTS?

[@rustmarrow]

Yup!

[@sobbiess]

@@rustmarrowMay I know which mod is this? Because my play board looks different from yours on TTS :O

[@rustmarrow]

@@sobbiess its an old mod by ajstephen, i dont think its available anymore!

[@noahgelman4923]

If MetalEtemon moved out Chuumon on his last turn, it would have protected MetalEtemon from the MetalGaruru On Attack Delete effect, so MetalGaruru couldn't swing else MetalEtemon would redirect and kill it. Would have been a game changer for the rest of the match.

[@deltaw1385]

WereGaruru inheritablebwould kill it anyway

[@rustmarrow]

Yup, it would not have affected the match. I didn't do it because a side Lv3 is easily blown through by MetalGaruru

[@nicpowell5383]

what are you playing on

[@rustmarrow]

Tabletop Simulator on Steam!

[@christopherbennett5858]

Honestly, it’s sad to see Etemon lose again. So the alt victory was nice. Still, the fight was a good one.

[@Reishi0306]

Dont worry guys the second half of the vid is metalete's delusion.

[@rustmarrow]

it really is HAHAHA

[@Digiheart400]

Why didn't you put izzy's on play into account? It was a good match overall

[@rustmarrow]

It was more of a hypothetical situation rather than him actually being played. But actually I did off-screen, 1 of the cards was the pure Yellow BT14 Etemon so they wouldn't have been able to steal the 1 Memory haha

[@Digiheart400]

@@rustmarrow that would be difficult since the metaletemon deck consists mostly of yellows despite certain cards are part black

[@rustmarrow]

actually they're mostly Black with only a few cards being pure Yellow, my build only runs 3 non-Black cards which is why I use Izzy!

[@Digiheart400]

@@rustmarrow ok

[@Vansjoo7966]

Sad that the bdtf is nearly always Greymon or Garurumon

Looks like Etemon got his revenge

in his dreams at least

[@anthonythomas305]

​@@rustmarrowLol, so true

Matt: That one's for Leomon, you dirty ape.

[@TobiGame1]

Why you beat my monke like that ?!

[@pug8714]

What a surprise

[@captainj6130]

I suggest not doing a tournament for Exceed Apocalypse, since we already know how that would end.😢

[@Drking100]

They hit the weregaruro because the deck was overpowerd, and 3 sets later they bring this xD Nice logic bandai. This game is just for money

[@blueauramaster]

I want GraceNovamon to be the overall winner of the finals

[@andresalonsomartinez3070]

You know, when one opens the video, the first comment, always, and I mean ALWAYS spoil the winner of the match.

[@ne0w01f3]

what a slaughter

[@Earthbound524]

Honestly with how insane the gabumon support is i could see them banning the cards from this deck. Insane not once per turn draws and filter

[@Deezgutz]

They really should do some pre limits or banns the new stuff is absolutely unfair

[@ricardomonteiro870]

seeing the current shenanigans with apocalymon Im definitily seeing the new garuru x being hit to 1

[@shadowgarion]

@@Deezgutz Problem with that is the repeated draws are coming from the ST6 Gabu and Garu, not the ST16 ones so hitting the new cards wouldn't stop anything.

[@Deezgutz]

@@shadowgarion I mean they could hit one or the other all the new gabu stuff is crazy in different ways I only say get rid of the new stuff unless they wanted to get rid of some starter deck stuff but that wouldn’t be great just for new player accessibility

[@alexbiersner3350]

There's no way MetalGaru is broken (watching MetalGaru popping off) Yeah, MetalGaru is broken

[@FaialXDD]

the alternative ending would still be garuru x win if you attacked properly with the stack

[@rustmarrow]

Don't think so! I played it out just in case

[@hemisphere5497]

I think garurux can win at the alternative match if you use bt9 x antibody. Metalgaruru ace atk delete lowest lv, were ess delete lv 4, evolve using x anti to mgx bt9 to bounce all lv 6

[@FaialXDD]

exactly, melga x would have cleared the board and could attack@@hemisphere5497

[@rustmarrow]

@FaialXDD I didn't run BT9 x antibody

[@FaialXDD]

@@rustmarrow no need, bt9 melga x needs melga or x antibody on the stack to bounce all the lowest lvls

[@CantusTropus]

For the algorithm

[@niklasfeldbusch318]

Melga goes for final😁

Mgx destroy monke to the bone

god that garuru deck is some bullshit, and thats saying somethin xD

So sad melga won, I really hate him and wartanga

Wait, ¿What? ¿how win Metal garuru? metal etemon win that 18: 45

[@luxiferray2734]

It was a rematch for the sake of actually showcasing Metaletemon Garuru had already won

[@andreajm932]

it was a what if scenario... the real match ended at 11:30

[@joonas394]

Etemon win wasn't canon
