Shoutmon X7 VS Bagramon!! | Digimon Card Game: BT-11 Dimensional Phase Outbreak (ROUND 6)

[@rustmarrow]

IMPORTANT RULING: Digimon cannot resolve their [On Delete] effects if the deleted card has left the Trash. So for the various moments in this video when a Bagra Army Digimon with DemiMeramon in source was d, I did the wrong order. At official tournaments, you MUST resolve DemiMeramon's inheritable first before if you want to get both effects off. NOTE: At 6:02 it should say QUEEN OF DARKNESS LILITHMON (lil editing miss) I don't think it needs to be said which of these decktypes is more relevant, consistent and successful in the meta, but it put a smile on my face watching this match develop the way it did, though I have to say it was largely possible thanks to the X4 restriction. You all know which deck won much more during playtesting, and the sad thing is how difficult it is for Bagramon himself to play a role in this matchup. In any case, this was a rather exhausting match to film. There was a lot to learn about the new Bagra tools and how to play them optimally, and I found myself constantly second guessing my plays and even having to refilm matches multiple times cos I would only realise, the next day, a better play I could have made with the resources I had (even for this match, Xros Heart won the first take due to a Bagra misplay). So honestly, I'm not super confident about this video, but I hope you guys enjoy watching it all the same. As always, please let me know if you spot any major mistakes or anything I missed so I can update the video accordingly. But for now, I'm gonna need a break before proceeding with the Quarter-FInals.

[@TheSuperdave800]

Honestly its valid. Bagra Army got a bit more complicated with everything it can do that ofte times people forget what they do. I still think the match was very fun to watch though. And glad to see the banlist came in time.

[@mex7037]

Just wondering. If you used bagramon instead of tactimon, shouldve they got defeated instead?

[@rustmarrow]

@@mex7037 On that second last turn? Yes, Bagra wouldnt have stopped Xros Heart. He would have just removed X7 without producing any Blockers. Xros Heart would still have 2 attackers and be free to gain 2 Memory off their Tamers for additional Xros plays too

[@alephozone9341]

POG! POG! POG! POG! WHAT A MATCH!!! That was AWESOME!! Im glad for this match, its definetely taught me the value of some of those cards that ive been understmiating, and I cant WAIT to see Bagra Army continue in the tournament!! I hope Bagramon can show off himself in a future match!!

[@rustmarrow]

I think the card that I severely underestimated but ended up proving me wrong was Madleomon Armed Mode. His mere existence doubles the number of on-draw (by effect) Memory chokers in the deck, increasing both Tactimon's consistency and setup efficiency. And with the right materials in hand, he can be dropped as an extra choker for 2 cost. Tuwarmon and MusoKnightmon tho? I still think they're pretty meaningless as you can see from my ratios. I've seen Japanese players run builds with 0 MusoKnight. Tuwarmon is worth keeping at least 2 for the inheritable. Chikurimon... idk yet, being 4 to play feels a bit clunky even if you consider he's basically 3 if you have Yuu on the board. But definitely a 4 of just for the trait and inheritable

[@mex7037]

Lezzgooo, very happy with the result. Though i didnt expect that they will win given the situation

[@GiftOfKnowledge-np9vg]

Amazing match! Superb showing from both sides! And that fact that, for once, the deck I was rooting for one against a top contender is making me quite cheerful too. Can't wait to see more of Bagra Army in the next round.

[@mateocortes4148]

I love the voices you give the Digimon, it is just the icing on the cake of an already great video.

[@MrOzono]

I didn't want to build a xros heart deck, but Shoutmon X7 has such a cool presentation and it's so cool to pull out with all the materials, such a final boss

[@pablomarra3543]

[@DominatorLegend]

Honestly, with X4 limited, Xros now will finally start to spice up the deck with the BT11 support.

[@underacheiver95]

dude your production value is insane, take my sub.

[@christopherbennett5858]

Wow. That was quite the match. No Sukamon vs Galacticmon but it is interesting how much of a toolbox the generals are.

[@rustmarrow]

In playtesting, I often ran into losses due to getting the generals in the wrong order. Which is a problem that can't really be helped cos running too many of them alongside Bagra himself can be bricky, tho Armed Mode tries to mitigate this with massive draws. But when you draw into them in the right order, the deck runs so differently it's almost magical (1) A Blastmon drawn early game can be an unexpected sudden game ender. And if searched, forces the opponent to be wary and make defensive plays. (2) Those defensive plays limit your opportunities to play Blast. But early game, unless you're extremely lucky, your Trash won't be rich enough to make full use of Tactimon. So that's where Lilith comes in as an extender, slowing down the opponent's offense by locking their Raising Area as you accumulate the Trash further. (3) Once the opponent breaks through Lilith, Tactimon comes in on full Trash to wall the opponent off, resulting in two outcomes: EITHER your opp can't deal with the Tacti swarm and loses to it... (4) OR they barely survive it. And Blastmon comes swinging in at the end to finish the game. Depending on matchup/situation, Bagramon can play this role by eliminating a pesky Blocker/redirector while trashing the opponent's final Security too

Loved those Xros segments!

[@TobiGame1]

OMG FINALLY Bagra won! finally a deck i like is winning XD amazing video as usual Rust

[@TemBear]

at 2:42 i could be mistaken but if you choose to use on deletion save first then you lose out on the draw one trash one from demimera inherit since the digimon it was under is no longer in trash (not a huge deal since you can easily do it the other way but worth knowing I think)

[@rustmarrow]

OH RIGHT, I remember reading abt that ruling a while back too. Thanks for the reminder! I'll add it in my pin

[@atamisirli3620]

Man Xros hearth can't wait today. i loved it!

[@GiftOfKnowledge-np9vg]

Okay, now that I can sit down and give my thoughts proper: Goodness what a tense match this was rooting for Bagramon. Knowing the power gap between them, every setback they faced left me worrying if they could make it back. Legit, I got worried when their opening rookie was Chuchumon instead of Soundbirdmon. But going through their entire deck, and using every tool at their disposal (except, ironically, Bagamon) they managed to take down the Meta-Defining Juggernaut. Pure cinema. Like Galgacicmon vs Sukamon all over again. I'm surprised MusoKnightmon came in so clutch. I generally didn't think the card was that good since DarkKnightmon doesn't have much of a place in the deck & it doesn't play into the memory stealing side of the deck. But I guess I just really underestimated De-Digivolve, and how easy the effect is to get by just evolving into it. So next round of match-ups should be Jijimon vs BWGX, Mastemon vs Galacticmon, and Machinedaon vs Bagramon, right? If so, then I know who I'm still rotting for in each match: Come on Jijimon, Galacticmon, & Bagramon! You've all got some tough opponents in front of you, but I believe in you!

[@Hyperneosonic97]

Xros Heart isn't really meta-defining in BT11 though. (Especially since it got kneecapped with the limits to Sunrize Buster and Shoutmon X4). Honestly, it feels more like BWargX is the meta-definer this time around.

[@GiftOfKnowledge-np9vg]

@@Hyperneosonic97 Certainly defined BT10, to such a degree I'd certainly call in a juggernaut. Ergo, the description is still apt; even if it is weak...er now.

[@Hyperneosonic97]

@@GiftOfKnowledge-np9vg I mean, that's BT10 (and only the Japanese iteration at that- in the western release, Xros Heart is likely going to sink to tier 2 [best case scenario] considering how X4 and Sunrize are limited before it has any viable replacements).

[@GiftOfKnowledge-np9vg]

@@Hyperneosonic97 I know that. But it still defined the meta for a period, hence it has earned the descriptor of "Meta-Defining". Heck, even if it stops topping as much, it was good enough to get 2 cards limited. How is that not defining the state of the game? Its literally changed what cards you can play!

what do you use to play against yourself like that? id love to do the same to practice new deck builds without having to actually buy them first

[@CodenameJD]

Story time! On Monday I went to a Digimon store event for the first time thinking it was just a regular night, but they had a delayed BT10 prerelease. One round I got absolutely crushed so we played normal games after - my first time playing against a deck I hadn't built myself. This guy pulled out the Xros Heart deck he'd already managed to build... after I'd already picked (but not revealed) my BlackWarGreymon deck. It felt so great to take the terror down by just deleting all of the Tamers with cards saved under them. 😁

[@HaratakiXI]

So you used nerfed xros heart against buff bagra, not sure what I expected from this fight.

[@rustmarrow]

In my playtesting, nerfed Xros still wins this matchup more though. But granted, I'm running tribal Bagra Army without much bonus tech to speak of

[@kaitoglueboy]

Wait you can use both Yuu’s sources? OH! When it says up to 3 does that mean 3 is the minimum?

[@rustmarrow]

No, you can use max 3 per Yuu you have in play. So if you have 2, you can send up to 6. And if you have 3, even up to 9

Can you use two Yuu’s abilities when you “Force Digicross”? Yuu’s ability says up to three sources between your Tamers, but you used 5 between both. I don’t think that play was legal

@@rustmarrow okay, cool

[@MadmonsterZ-TCH]

So you can use one effet per yuu? Meaning say if there were 3 on board you can put 9 sources? Or can you just have 1 yuu and 2 other random tamers and still put 9

You must have Yuu, its his effect

[@codyhanson6733]

I’m confused why you point out that you wouldn’t bring up sparrow because of the lose 3 even if it’s the last but you had the way into shout X7 and whipped out baggras security so you would have won with it being last attack so the neg three wouldn’t have mattered?

[@rustmarrow]

Its not the -3 that matters, its the fact that Lilith can force a -1 when trashing an evo card to pay for the -3 when Sparrow moves out. And that would leave Xros Heart with insufficient memory to play X7 and attack with it in the same turn

[@notdwaddler2013]

A really fuckin fun duel, but there's a couple things I DO wanna complain about with the decklist for Xros Heart. I'll focus on one bit for now. Namely, even though she's already been in the tourney, I'd say Mervamon would still be a better pick for the deck over two DX. Mainly because you can Digixros one Merva on a second one and potentially invalidate Xros Heart's weakness to De-Digivolution. Field-wide Blocker for Xros Heart, de-evo just means it regresses to a Merva, and etc. Regardless, *BLASTMON BABY LET'S FUCKIN GOOOOOOO*

[@pug8714]

Does bagra work when a card gains digivolvution cards, so wouldn't that work with digi-xros?

[@rustmarrow]

Nope, DigiXros is not considered an effect - its a mechanic. Bagra only triggers when evo cards are added by an effect, like his own

[@sagelson284]

Shouldn't Bagra Army lose? Because when MadLeomon evolves, you has to draw a card and if you can't draw a card from your deck, your should automatically lost right? Or it could also be that I'm missing something.. But overall, this was really enjoyable~

@@rustmarrow Either way, the prospects for this iteration of the Digital World... don't look very good. All of the teams that were eliminated in this first round except for the markedly neutral Sukamon were heroic in nature: Niko, Akiho, Mervamon, Rina and Xros Heart United, and from the remaining characters, only Taiga and Mirei can be considered particularly heroic- Yuuya has his own interests in mind, falling closer to neutral, and all three of Galacticmon, Analog Man and the Bagra Army are unambiguously evil. At the very least for the heroes there is one silver lining: one evil will be eliminated in the next round as Analog Man will square off against the Bagra Army.

It could have attacked, definitely. But consider the number of remaining attackers on Bagra Army's field. Even with Reboot, they would have auto lost without Bagra having to do anything. On the other hand, DX forced Bagra to do something extra to break through, though at the cost of giving them enough Memory to do that 'something extra'. It was quite a lose-lose situation for them.
