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

[@rustmarrow]

Animal Colosseum Beast Wars: An Epilogue "Go! MetalGarurumon X! Finish them off with Grace Cross Freezer!" Loosing a howl, the bipedal steel beast unleashed a bombardment of countless bullets and missiles from every compartment on its suit of firearms. Upon contact, the projectiles exploded into claws of ice that gouged into and encased the surrounding environment, sparing no mercy to trees, boulders, the ground - and the pack of SkullSatamon that had been pursuing Matt and Gabumon. "Alright!" Matt punched his fist triumphantly. Now that the small fry were taken care of, all that was left was- CRUNCH. It happened all too suddenly. Caught between a pair of massive red jaws, MetalGarurumon X didn't even have time to yelp as it reverted back into Tsunomon. And before Matt could even cry out, a clawed hand had found its way around his throat, holding back just enough to allow him to breathe, albeit painfully. "So," Daemon smirked. "It seems you won't be able to avenge the Sovereigns after all. Now that you've lost their trust permanently, why not join us? You and your partner...have potential." It took a while for Matt to muster the strength to open his mouth and choke out, "Never..!" "So be it." Daemon turned to Leviamon and nodded. CRUNCH. The leviathan's jaws closed shut, and Tsunomon was gone. In its place floated mere specks of data, shimmering unstably in the digital wind - as if they could fade out of existence at any moment. Daemon threw Matt to the ground. The boy had lost all the colour from his face; his hands were trembling. "Aren't you going to erase him?" Leviamon demanded. Daemon opened his palm and manifested the Crest of Friendship, glowing blue, upon it. "Without his partner and his Crest, he will never be a threat to us again." Leviamon shrugged. A powerless human was no object of Envy. Just then, a light suddenly started pouring out of the leviathan's throat, causing it to flinch. Surprise flickered across Daemon's face... before turning to amusement. "Well, it seems we gained more than what we bargained for..." The Demon Lord chuckled, and his laughter only turned louder and more hysterical as Leviamon was completely engulfed by the purple-blue light... TO BE CONTINUED...?

[@IcarusOOT]

Didn't end how I thought it would ( I assumed Matt would get corrupted and have to be freed from Leviamon's control in BT15) but this is just as cool

[@RuneRaged]

Your so good at telling stories like this mate, and as always love the content

[@hoseachong3443]

Just wondering, if you didn't discard the Omni X you could have won right? You can attack with metalgarurumon X and evolve into Omni X, trash the last security and hit the player directly.

[@rustmarrow]

@@hoseachong3443 Nope! The card MGX had in evolution cards was X-Antibody Protoform, not X-Antibody! Protoform doesn’t allow you to evolve upon attack

[@DarkFabled14731]

I can't wait to see how the BT15 tournament will go. I can see the story going something like. "None of the original Digi-Destined haven't heard nor seen Matt for (insert X amount of time) and were getting worried. So they decided to split off to search for their missing friend. Sora, Joe, Izzy, Mimi, and Kari (and more than likely accompanied with T.K depending on how Rust builds his Angewoman deck) head off to the same forest where Matt was last scene. However, they began to have a sensation of Deja Vu within the forest. Joe: "Guys, is it just me or are any of you feeling like we've been here before?" Mimi: "Yes, it's a freakier feeling than a going to the mall that's about to close on Halloween night" A slow eerie breeze begins to blow, shaking the leaves of the trees surrounding them; The memories begin to wash over Kari with panic! Kari: "Wait that's it! Guys this is-" Her and Gatomon abruptly disappear! The Digidestined were scattered about with no explanation as if they were being toyed with... Just when the mixing and shuffling was over, their areas were sealed off! A series of unsettling laughter jolted the Digidestined's memories! "Welcome dear children! I hope you've missed us. (Menacing anger) Because we've certainly missed you Digidestined in unison: "No! It can't be!..."

Feels like Daemon did a lot of the leg work for winning most of it games in this Tournament

[@alephozone9341]

Daemon did do a lot of the legwork, but to me it felt like he was a grunt. It was gruntwork. Because when it came time to actually WINNING those matches, it was always Leviamon devouring the opponent. Like, I don't think they could've won against GraceNovamon otherwise

[@tatersgames]

​@@alephozone9341they won against grace because they bricked on a rookie 3 turns in a row

1000% glad I'm not the only one who feels this way.

This was a very satisfying ending. Glad to see Leviamon chomping down on garurumon and getting the final win.

[@ammoposada4427]

Looks like leviamon is the way to go now after list today

[@billyhorton8653]

Not really the Garurmon deck should have won. But the Garuru build seems lacking.

Wow I wasn't expecting Levia to win, but it puts a smile on my face. I understand why st6 Gabu got restricted to 1

[@johnryu2317]

Damn Daemon's back must be aching for careying Leviamon throught that tournament

[@joeleonwan408]

That was so close, but just like Masaru and agumon, Yamato and gabumon couldn't finish their opponent off after wiping out 5 securities at once during the finals. Rustmarrow tournament is just cursed and won't allow any protagonist to win their tournament. 😂

[@DevDoesDigimon]

Beelze and BT12 would like a word.

[@joeleonwan408]

@@DevDoesDigimon I'm talking about the anime or series protagonist, they always got to the finals in Rust tournaments but always ended up losing (Eiji and loogamon in bt14 tournament, Masaru and agumon in bt13 tournament, Takato and guilmon in ex02 tournament, Taiki and shoutmon in BT10 tournament, heck Beelze X did beat Tagiru in the finals for Bt12 who is also the protagonist for hunters), although Yamato/Matt is just a secondary protagonist for adventure

[@SylviaMoonbeam1127]

It’s going to be a painful wait until EX5. With two of the purple Gabumons getting restricted to one today, and the purple/blue x-antibody cards not out in English until January, it’ll be tough waiting 3 months until I can try this deck out, and even then, with reduced viability

[@qwefg3]

Liked the demon lords winning, but wasn't sure if the ace purple was wasted as it may have been used to clog an attack to force a round shift over to the dogs preventing a purple attack build up.

[@GreenMonkeySam]

I love the Pokémon battle music 😉

[@pegolego]

This was (surprisingly) a really close match. So yeah, metal garuru got to do their otk thing while levia got super ultra lucky. I dont really know how to feel about this one. It wasnt unfair. Just, 4 wis trains is kinda a hard pill to swallow. Still though, levia won fair and square. Excited to see him return next tourney with a shiny new X antibody coating.

[@PetenarYT]

4 wis trainings and metalgar cycling 3/4 of its deck and finding no blitz omni. would have to be the unluckiest metalgar player lol

[@walkersikorski]

Honestly, this just highlights why the older X anti is better for the garuru deck. We never saw Omni X hit trash, so it was in hand and old x anti Instead of protoform would’ve meant they won

[@VylonDelta]

​​@@walkersikorskiomni X is discarded at 4:10

[@walkersikorski]

@@VylonDelta you right, but that just highlights my point. It was in hand and with the other x anti, would’ve closed the game

[@billyhorton8653]

​@walkersikorski6924 the problem with this is that he went for the attack with X antibody instead of waiting and using it as a blocker. While the creator likes to show off what the decks do he doesn't really play them the way they are meant to be played.

[@Create_daily]

the token spawns on your side if there x amount in play right? why do u put it on the garuru side xd

[@rustmarrow]

Nope, it plays on your side or opp's side depending on the amount in play

[@marceloleiva3417]

Doesn't the token counted towards Levia eff of "deleting highest, deleting lowest"?

[@megalomazement]

the token doesnt have a level, so it is neither the highest nor lowest level.

[@pafarah4]

5:50 aprox, you hadn't color requirement for training boost

[@supersaiyandrgnslayr]

You mean 5:30 but yeah, MelgaX is BLUE

[@rustmarrow]

I did! Fujitsumon token is purple actually

[@anthonythomas305]

Man, the match was surprisingly. Can't believe Levia won the entire game and MetalGarurumon X was so very close to winning it

[@madsvigan2898]

Kinda want to see lilithmon omegamon zwart loop deck. Now we have those training boost cards

[@dragonnight22]

Not that it changes the outcome but doesn’t melgax have garurux’s protection when it would be deleted thus living on the current field with the only way it dies being if you digivolve in leviamon off the first Cerberus x and you have equal cards to Matt

[@rustmarrow]

Garuru X only protects against battle deletion!

[@kojiro03]

How did they play the token in the beginning?

[@rustmarrow]

is that a client?

[@darkflame7899]

See this is exactly why we run the normal x antibody option

[@christopherbennett5858]

Well, fitting for the Banlist reveal, Garurumon couldn’t freeze the entire ocean. Leviamon is just that devastating.

[@Did_No_Wrong]

Not gonna lie but it was pretty crazy that Garururmon X in 1 turn completely trashed all the cards in security. Gonna have to build this myself when the set comes out.

[@xero1048]

I really haven’t been a fan of any of the leviamon matches in this tournament. They either had the opponent brick hard, give leviamon a lot of luck (4 training boosts in the first 2 turns? Really?), or didn’t even properly showcase leviamon. One of the main reasons I enjoy these videos is that they don’t just showcase meta decks, but they showcase thematic decks. I also think it was pretty clear that metal x should’ve been running 2 blitz Omni instead of a blitz and x Antibody. Hoping that next tournament we see decks focus a bit more on their themes. I’ll always enjoy the editing, visuals, music, etc. but I think that in this tournament the actual matches themselves took a bit of a dive

[@kaitoglueboy]

I agree with this, it wasn’t even Leviamon Vs MetalGa X it was all Creepymon which not gonna lie is disappointing

[@pkopyro1196]

Well the some of them were a little rushed. Also Omni X is an insane card. My only concern with the garuru deck was not running an Og X-Anti. But Levia has had plenty of chances to shine. Part of the issue is that we don't have all the leviathan cards till Levia X comes out so they have to supplement it with something and Daemon is a great card and it's nice to see it actually doing something now.

[@smvid4]

Calling Daemon "meta", what a time to be alive

[@rustmarrow]

Thanks for the feedback! There are bound to be some ups and downs cos I don't script these match videos - I too was baffled by Levia's luck with Wisdom Training throughout this tournament. As for the Levia list, due to the lack of specific Levia support in EX5 alone, I tried to make it more thematic with 7GDL support, while sprinkling just a bit of Anubismon's lower-end to make up for his absence in the tournament. Since Levia's mechanic of dropping for free is reliant on having Rostrum and the opponent playing a Digimon by effect, it can be strongly invalidated in certain matchups. I was hoping that the addition of Daemon would provide an alternate route to letting the expensive leviathan wreak havoc on the field, but it looks like he inadvertently ended up stealing the limelight...

[@garylasorella7997]

Daemon Is kinda cracked with the levia lines effects to force bodies

[@raikaria3090]

**OH GODS THEY FREED TOMMY**

[@TheRealFinalGlory]

Sounds like we getting an 02 tournament to bring back Matt

[@thebadguytemp23]

You know, you could have just attacked with Daemon, mill the rest of MetalGarurumon's deck and pass turn.

[@pokemonruler54]

Very disapointed leviamon didnt style on Matt for game. Should've attacked into fujitsumon and let matt deck out

[@Megidramon]

I told you all, the power of friendship won.

[@reignis9937]

Its funny how Garuru lost in 2 ways XD Its like really putting that nail on the coffin

[@AdaptiveReasoning]

You know what after watching this I'm glad they're limiting that starter deck Gabumon. I can't believe they didn't put a once per turn on that thing.

[@Bolvar4dragon]

To be fair, a single stack (esp. not in blue) attacking five times in one turn was inconceivable back then. And starting the turn at Lv4 with 1 memory, no less... It really was a different game back then. =/

[@walfull1079]

This is pretty much a reason why I’m not sold on the Ace digimon play style. If the Overflow didn’t hit when it did, the game could have went differently but would have still lost do to deck out clause

[@Houser45]

Levia got all 4 wisdom training. This game was a huge outlier to what would normally happen on average.

[@Bolvar4dragon]

I could be wrong (because Garuru's efficiency is ridiculous), but I think it still would have been a setup turn for Garuru since they had nothing else on the field or in raising. They couldn't make their final attack and had to contend with all that damage on the next turn. Garuru ACE extended their combo a fair bit, being able to go into mega for 0. It's a bit of an outlier among ACE cards, but seems to be a strong choice in this deck.

[@pug8714]

What's wrong with the ace?

[@Digiheart400]

That was a close match

[@DareToWonder]

Can't wait to see rhe new non ace metalgarurumon

[@george746]

Anyone got a anubis deck list?

[@AliHussein-z4u]

I definitely seen Levia having good chance against Garu. Like I might gusse in the play testing Garu did not achieve the otk then Levia just stool the hole momentum and finish the games or Daemon just decks out them. Or the Otk fails becouse Rustrum in securety.

[@Hyperneosonic97]

This kind of thing is why I really dislike the 7GDL decks so far. They all have overwhelming strengths outside of specific matchups. Be it Beelze's ridiculous speed in setting up, Leviamon's ability to completely ignore almost all forms of protection, or Belphemon being virtually invulnerable to removal. This, of course, alongside the absolutely disgusting option cards they have at their disposal really irks me, especially given how removing their cards simply just further fuels their plays considering they are purple archetypes, who thrive off of that. They completely invalidate certain decktypes.

[@billybuff3154]

i feel the same way its not fare

[@goku90extreme18]

The only 7GDL I personally have a vendetta against is Leviamon. The Deck play style is very annoying, due to not only Leviamon itself ignores protection, but also Rostrum being able to delete your Boss, while setting up Leviamon to enter the field for free. And well, the X-Antibody Leviamon and its Option are so overkill. You can't play cards by effects, or else, Leviamon X will rise from the Trash for free during your turn and delete your stuff and the Option just activate from Trash for free if your tries to play the game while Leviamon is on the field. My problem with this Deck is the fact that it not only breaks boards easily, but also prevents any comeback from your opponent because the Trash have not 1, but 2 bombs ready to detonate whenever you play a Digimon or Tamer by an effect.
