Jijimon VS Phoenixmon!! | Digimon Card Game: BT-11 Dimensional Phase Outbreak (ROUND 2)

This is Round 2 of the Dimensional Phase Outbreak, a tournament featuring 12 decks from the 11th main booster of the Digimon Card Game: Dimensional Phase. The next two decks to clash are Jijimon and Phoenixmon, both being representatives from Digimon World Re: Digitize. The Green/Black Jijimon deck focuses on swarming Tamers and using them as a foundation to swarm Digimon by playing bodies for free or evolving for cheap. Although it can be seen as numbers-based aggro, it also has access to a slew of control abilities such as Green's signature suspend. On the other hand, the Red Phoenixmon deck is also reliant on Tamers to strengthen the cycle of its [On Delete] effects which allow them to maintain consistent board presence with free bodies while wearing down the opponent's field with surprise Raid attacks. In this showdown between functionally similar decks, who will outlast the other?

Nice back and forth match. It's good to see Tyrannomon support since it always feels like it's walking in the shadow of Greymon and I really like the "reincarnation" thematic on Phoenixmon cards.

These two decks are really similar. While the way it is achieved is different (evolving vs being deleted/doing damage), the goal is to swarm Tamers, produce free bodies and maintain board presence to take down the opponent while controlling their field (suspend vs raid). As such, I think the tempo difference is really brought to the forefront in this matchup with evolving being a core game mechanic that is naturally fulfilled versus self-deletion which requires more effort. And I don't think Phoenixmon's first effect sufficiently mitigates this tempo difference because attacking has its risks - it can be explosive once your board is setup, but it doesn't necessarily help to accelerate your board to that state. So overall, Phoenix/Mars feels a bit janky to me now, being slow on setup relative to the game's current pace while requiring specific but limited combo pieces to burst once setup. I guess it's to be expected since the Marsmon line synergises with but does not necessarily contribute to setup/the engine, so another Bird/Avian line would be nice, especially a Lv.5 that can play free bodies. On the other hand, Jijimon feels more complete, with many tools to help you set up and meet your win condition while staving off the opponent - a balanced deck that is fun to pilot. It might feel a bit luck-based, but Tortomon helps tremendously with that and terrible rolls (basically 0 hits) are rare, as even just 1 additional Lv.3 on the field adds a lot to your game plan, being usable for both offence (Rush) or defence (Blocker, or evolving into MetalTyranno to stun).

TYRANNOMOOOOOOOON!

[@christopherbennett5858]

That was a fun match.

[@ComandanteElite]

Ahh the music and most of the digimon used in this match gave so much PSOne Card Battle vibes, I'm loving it!

[@Muqriez]

I'm glad that Green is finally able to stand up to the other decks

[@MrGomesxd]

I'd enjoy if those tournament videos were best of 3 so that we could see more of each deck. Anyways, that was a great match!

[@TallFry2]

I really hate that RustTyrannomon is relegated to the backstage. Tyrannomon as a whole needs mote love! And I'm really excited to build up my Tyrannomon deck with this new BT11 support!

[@davivictor2471]

Those are my two favorite Decks and I loved seeing them against each other

[@foxspirit2254]

Was waiting for this one and as usual they are amazing thank you rustmarrow

[@CodenameJD]

That was an awesome game. Both of these decks intrigue me for bringing a new twist, so I wasn't really rooting for one side or the other. The back and forth was so good!

[@Mikehy.mp3]

I love the jijimon deck and can't wait to play around with some tech options!

[@Slightning10]

Yes! Been waiting for this game! So happy my BT11 deck won, no spoilers.

[@GemaCoven]

This game was so much fun to watch!

[@ThePanther000]

Can't wait for next bout. Wanna see 'the most expensife cost' Mirei Mikagura in action.

[@TowanTalks]

When you do spicy lists later I have a Pheonixmon list that is purple base so you can use the DemiDevimom that plays DanDevimon with it's on delete that you can get in the inheritable effects.

[@ragetheeliteechidna159]

Okay there has to be a theme challenge since there’s enough Tyrannomons to make a full Tyrannomon deck. And since a lot of the new supports are Green, this May as well be a Green themed Tyranno deck with a splash of reds and black for DP increase and Cyborg lineups

[@anthonythomas305]

Fantastic job Rust!👍🏾👍🏾

[@AuraKnight-kn1ux]

Aswome job Rustmarrow didn’t expect an upset comeback behind victory from Green there 👍👍. Looking forward to UlforceVeedramons battle hope it comes soon 🤞🤞🤞🤞.
