Yggdrasil VS Ravemon: Burst Mode!! | Digimon Card Game: BT-13 Round Table Conference (ROUND 3)

[@rustmarrow]

RULE CLARIFICATIONS (At 14:15, during Ygg's final turn): (1) Dynasmon should have triggered to wipe all opp Lv.4 or lower Digimon as well. (2) Jesmon would have had to delete at least 1 Peckmon. "Up to" effects (even the "any number" ones) force you to choose at least 1 potential target if there are any. So with Keenan's Memory gain, they wouldn't be able to win that turn but it doesn't affect the outcome. This was a really fun matchup. In my playtesting, these 2 decks (my builds at least) went head to head against each other approximately 50/50. Funnily enough, Keenan has some tools that really mess with Yggdrasil's strategy such as Ame-no-Ohabari which wrecks the Knights so they don't go into Ygg's source (while maintaining Rave's field presence and depleting Ygg's Security simultaneously) and the new BT13 Keenan which is almost always 2 cost to play against Ygg and makes all the Knights more expensive. There was even one game I had where Rave took the win 5-0. But of course, the Knights have tools that hate Rave too such as trusty Ulforce for the bounce and Examon which can shut Crows down and slip past Retaliation Blockers. Still though, I must say the Royal Knights are indeed a force to be reckoned with. If I'm not wrong, they're our first 'gimmick' deck to showcase decent competitive influence from the start? (But I mean, can you call it a gimmick if it has 2 SECs from the same set?) A bit of a shame they ended up in the same block as Masaru so their decisive showdown will happen at the Semi-Final latest but who knows, maybe Thomas and MirageGaogamon will turn out to be the true protagonists of this arc.

[@kyrios0307]

Yeah I don't think it would affect the outcome. Keenan would be at 1 starting memory and you have 8 RKs that are Blockers, and LK will give you 8 memory if Keenan decides to attack at all. Alphamon stops any Ravemon from attacking as well.

[@Dpchihuahua]

So, you´re deciding wich deck wins, because you do a lot of testing before??? I think that´s unfair, because I´ve seen you always make the most popular deck win... You should do best of 3 and let the luck decide...

[@rustmarrow]

Amazing match! Looks like the host computer will be moving along to face another of the DATS agents. Which agent, we'll just have to see. Man Yggdrasil looks like a fun deck, very dynamic, and feeling very imposing. And it'll only get more dynamic as the Knights get more cards with On Play or general field-presence effects. If we ever get my hoped-for real Royal Knight set to follow up the idea of BT13, maybe it'll be able to get something special too; like a Norn Tamer or Yggdrasil core. They'd make some good Secret Rares.

First, your production quality is really nice, especially the music and your commentating! Second, the Royal Knights deck really has a flavor of „can‘t be beaten“ to it. Sure, one can win against it but one really sees how winning against it becomes less likely with every turn. It feels so hopeless when Ygdrassil literally has no more security but you are staring down 2 big blockers.

[@rustmarrow]

@LordLad666 Noah is right! Seems to be a "some things are lost in translation" issue because when I took another look at the Japanese text, it does imply that you have to choose if there are targets. This is also covered in the detailed rules document

[@noahgelman4923]

@@rustmarrow I believe that means Royal Knights could not have won that turn. Ravemon would have got 1 memory off Keegan and 1 off Tsukaimon, passing the turn over. However, with Royal Knights all having blocker there's no way Ravemon could have won on the following turn, so it doesn't change much.

[@pegolego]

Well that was an interesting match. I wonder if Bandai might make norn ("human" yggdrasil) a tamer to support this deck even though it is currently strong if a deck like Bagra that can rip cards from hand can snipe omnimon out to delay for a few more turns. Spoilers: Well I thought it was over for yggdrasil when Omni got sniper but they had enough blockers to keep up until they got another one.

[@justinmontana3710]

This is why I'm so excited for Royal Knights to make their official debut! There's something so satisfying about going most of the game with only 2 or 3 digimon in play at once, security all wiped out, only to swing back with 7 Mega's all at once and win the game

[@Megidramon]

Holy shit. I didn't realize that Yggdrasil was that scary. Man's pulled out 8 of the 13 Royal Knights in 1 play.

[@kingbl4de734]

Yeah it gets even scarier realising that omekamon is at 4 no wonder it got high praise in the jp nats

[@R0boSushi]

Great match! Enjoy the RK deck but would have loved to see Ravemon win! And while I don't believe that it would have affected the outcome of the game, Jesmon has to delete at least one Digimon with his On Play effect. "Choose any number of your opponent's Digimon..." effects are treated the same as "up to" effect in that at least 1 Digimon must be targeted if there is an applicable target.

[@rustmarrow]

Ahh, thanks for pointing that out! I had no idea. After taking another look at the Japanese text, it makes sense

[@donovanbogard4353]

Ravemon was going crazy at the start but the RK deck got that snowball effect. After so many turns it can't lose gotta take it out quick.

[@Digiheart400]

That was crazy! Some point Keenan and Falcomon had the lead, but Yggdrasil pulled some crazy stuff off and won in the end and the royal knights attacked with everything to finish the job. Did you notice some of the cards side by side can complete images together? It's like the legion and legion mate cards from Cardfight Vanguard

@@raikaria3090 doesn't even need to be free. Duftmon can be played by the Option and use its effect to further discount Omegamon's cost by 4. Or when Omegamon is played and Sleipmon is one of the Digimon played from Yggdrassil, it can +3 memory given the total of both security is 6 or less.

Interesting idea, but thats not the point of my channel. My goal is to entertain with exciting fights, not to decide a ranking or tierlist. To me, it's fun when a rogue deck beats a meta deck in a 1-off battle due to luck of the draw

[@CyberiusX91]

@@rustmarrow well, if you put it that way, then what you say is true. Oh well, to be fair, every deck is good when it comes to luck draw. It just depends how lucky the players can get XD but from your vids, its more towards skills rather than luck. Example, you rather not trigger conditions that gives opponent advantages. Normal players just activate them anyway to see how lucky they can get during that turn itself instead of buying one more turn. A YOLO play you may say it. That is why i find it more interesting with the suggestion I gave considering your playstyle. All in all, keep doing what you think its best man.
