Beelzemon X VS Chaosdramon X!! | Digimon Card Game: BT12 ~ RB-01 (THE FATED REMATCH)

[@rustmarrow]

Ngl, for the sake of a happy ending, I was initially planning on refilming until I got an epic match with Beelzemon X's victory. However, that didn't turn out to be difficult. Rather, during playtesting, Beelzemon X won this matchup way too frequently and sometimes too easily - as expected of the deck that topped the Japan Nationals just this weekend. My sense was that although both decks require setup, Beelze sets up consistently faster and also ends the game more quickly and decisively after their set up is complete (often before Chaosdra X even had a chance to appear on the field). But I mean, we always knew Machinedra/Chaosdra isn't the fastest deck. And while Chaosdra X can do some crazy shenanigans, it doesn't exactly boost or optimise the deck's engine per se. When you get the right cards, it can greatly increase the deck's output *after* you've completed the usual setup process, but you still have to leap through the same luck-reliant hoops. In this final match I recorded, Analogman managed to create his ultimate boss faster and smoother than usual, but it looks like he couldn't have everything - the key components he needed for a complete decisive victory were buried either in Security or deep in his deck. The outcome of this match could have been overturned with just one different draw. Either way, I hope all of you enjoyed this arc from the beginning to the end as much as I enjoyed making matches for it. See you guys in the next one!

This. Was. HYPE! Holy shit that last turn by Beelzemon was insane

[@anthonythomas305]

One word: EPIC!

[@KamenRiderDragoon]

Beelzemon put everything on the line for this. Zero security zero deck basically zero memory. Only other slightly hype would be zero cards in hand. Lay it all on the line for the sake of the ones that saved him from darkness and showed him how to be a black winged avenger of justice. This was a thug finals i was anticipating and every beelzemon match you posted got me so scared cause i really want beelzemon to get that dub. This deck went from being a lottery trying its best only to get knocked down and now rises to the top

[@pockytung2084]

Just a little bit of misfortunate on chaosdra this round that the lv.5 machine didn't match up the situation, if only it has metalgreymon or megadramon, it wouldn't be able to overrun by lv.3. Also normally best strategy for playing machinedramon deck against beelzemon deck is to let them deck out by themselves and keep the blocker as much as possible in the board. So for this match's last turn, in this situation without heavy mobile, Chaosdra shouldn't attack with Hoverespimon instead spam 1 more analogman and play another Hoverespimon and with 3 blockers + 2 analogman on the board that is quite certain that it can survive this turn and finish Beelze next turn. But anyway, I understand that you want a fun match with epic ending so this is also not a bad turn. Really enjoy this tournament template. Great work can't wait to see BT-13 tournament :D

[@KamenRiderDragoon]

@@pockytung2084 outside of that venusmon in bt10 i rarely see rustmorrow play decks or do stuff encouraging heal spam or deck out strats. Only one i could think similar was galaticmon and sukamon but thats just how both decks go

[@rustmarrow]

STORY POST: WARNING. WARNING. SYSTEM OVERLOAD. ALL SYSTEMS SHUTTING DOWN.. Smoking from the joints, the mechanical abomination known as Chaosdramon X came crashing down, lights fading from its eye sockets. Before Ai could even react, she found herself grabbed by a gentle arm and swooped into the air. Moments later, she was floating before the translucent capsule on the fortress' inner wall that held Mako captive. Looking up, she met eyes with Beelzemon who gave her a resolute nod. Nodding in return, she reached out... and pressed her hand against the capsule. Crash. The glass-like lid of the capsule shattered, dropping Mako into free fall, but one that was only transient as he was almost immediately grabbed and held close by two different arms. As Mako pulled the metallic breathing device off his face, his eyelids trembled. "Big... sis?" he whispered. Ai couldn't stop the tears flowing out of her eyes. Likewise, Beelzemon raised his head so the two siblings could enjoy their reunion without a drop of rain. But it wasn't long before they were to be interrupted. "W... why?" The voice was cold but broken, and came from somewhere below them. Descending, what they found was Analogman, kneeling before the collapsed Chaosdramon X. "I did everything," he croaked. "Analysed the data of legendary Digimon and Tamers from different dimensions who had saved the world many times over, as well as the villains who opposed them. Used all this server's resources to manufacture the sturdiest, most powerful components, and combined it all into what should have been the ultimate weapon. No - the ULTIMATE LIFEFORM. And this? This is what I get? Defeat at the hands of a little girl? Is that all my dream is worth? This... this is everything I live for." For a moment, Beelzemon and the siblings stared at him in silence. Then, entrusting Mako to their partner, Ai walked up to Analogman - and slapped him in the face. The grown man was wallowing in such despair, he didn't even react. "In that battle, Beelzemon and I could have have been defeated any moment," Ai said. "The Chaosdramon X you created was stronger than us." "Then... why did I lose?" "I don't know," was Ai's reply as she turned away. "Maybe it was because we were fighting for something important to us, but you didn't really have anything you were fighting for. Do you even still remember why it's your dream to create the ultimate Digimon?" At those words, something stirred in Analogman's soul. He gripped his head and closed his eyes. In the darkness, he saw what seemed to be the shadow of a little boy in a classroom holding a V-Pet. The boy was battling Digimon with his classmates, all smiling and having fun. I'll win the next one! Just you wait, I'll raise my partner to be even stronger! I believe in you, Guardromon! The ground started to shake; the machine fortress was crumbling. Beelzemon immediately took flight, grabbing Ai who glanced behind and said, "You didn't lose to a little girl. You lost to your own greed and ambition." As the heroes escaped the fortress, they failed to notice Chaosdramon X's corpse being enveloped in a golden light. Within the crumbling fortress, the ultimate machine was being disintegrated byte by byte into glimmering motes - motes that gathered in Analogman's lap. He gazed at them in fear and wonder, and when the last trace of Chaosdramon X vaporised, the motes materialised into an egg - an egg with a shell made of gears and steel. "What..." Analogman whispered. "...are you?" And with a resonant thud, the walls of the fortress came crashing down. END OF THE ANALOGMAN ARC

[@Digiheart400]

An epilogue don't be mad: Standing on top of the rubble that was once the Analog man's fortress is a young lady in a black dress with a tapirmon by her side. As she looks down on the rubble she shakes her head in disapproval. ???: That's what you get for being selfish, you out of date hacker. She digs in the rubble and grabs a Digi core. ???: We got what we came here for. Let's go, Tapirmon. Tapirmon: Ok, Sara.

[@roochman]

I can never get enough of Beelzebumon X matchups, because it's the embodiment of "call an ambulance BUT NOT FOR ME" in this TCG: you think it's going to lose until it immediately wins.

A dark heart devoted to justice vs the mind full of madness going full throttle

[@dexusittogs525]

Damn what a match. I really liked the atmosphere on the video, it really felt like a final boss battle. The song, the little flavor texts, the insanely gigantic stack of a ChaosDramon X and the match itself really made this a banger video.

[@pegolego]

Looks like the analog man arc is over. That Mach was insane though. I wonder what will happen next given all of the decks with unresolved plot threads in the rustmarrow verse haven't gotten much support. He's probably going to start a new ark with the royal knight set being out though

[@xinhayman6019]

All I can say is, that ending was epic as hell. Good thing you don't auto lose in Digimon by deck out.

[@dentonyorkirons2429]

The professor theme from scarlet and violet set a great tone for the battle

[@rustmarrow]

The moment I thought of doing this match I decided this had to be the OST

[@DominatorLegend]

Well, it seems Machinedramon was finally defeated. Hell of a streak tho.

[@joshuapierre2095]

Normally I'm really upset when my favorite deck (Machinedramon) loses, but that was an epic way to go out

[@donovanbogard4353]

I didn't think beelzemon x would need to be seen twice in one game lol chaosdramon x was guarding his security well. Without beelze outright trashing them he was nearly untouchable. Hoverespimon was surprising annoying as well blocking those seventh full clusters. MVP was the beelzemon x that got deleted and summoned that last impmon.

[@jhonrodriguez5737]

Ngl, i can't dislike beelzemon deck more than i do now, not only because i like machinedramon, but also cuz' beelze can ignore the whole game and consistently finish the game in 1 turn, even in a disfavorable match-up like machinedra. PS. It's my opinion, you like beelze? Fine by me.

[@JoseOrichalcum]

What a battle. If the deck and the JP top is anything to go by, there’s a pretty high chance that Beelzemon X will get nerfed in the future. If this card game had an anime, this would be an epic 2-3 parter season finale.

[@Hyperneosonic97]

It's tough to say WHICH card will get hit, though, considering there are multiple offenders for cards that make the deck broken, though I'd argue the big two are the new ST12 Ai & Mako and Seventh Full Cluster, though Beelzemon X himself is also a potential suspect.

[@donovanbogard4353]

Don't see the point of nerfing a deck just because it works. If that's the case BT12 Wargrey should also be dismantled. Sucks to see purple can't have good OTK stuff but every other color can.

[@Hyperneosonic97]

[@KamenRiderDragoon]

Im so freaking happy beelzemon one. I got really scared this game cause i want the plot to resolve possitivly. Bt8 metalgreymon is basically crucial for machidramon so beelzemon just spamming rookies is the way to go. Beelzemon x is the best way of "otk" its not its main goal as typically your gonna ve swingging with dudeds early to start your mill strats. After nats i am so building this!!!

Beelz is looking like another "fun and interactive" deck where their is no counter play. What about an omnimon Merciful mode tech to take 10 of the trash and put back in the deck, then next turn you are back to chaosdramon if it lives? (If he woulda got the bt8 metalgreymon early though he woulda did 3 checks and blew up the board tbf)

[@animedude8712]

Going, to be honest, I was hoping Beelzemon was going to lose. I don't hate the character, but it feels like the Beelzemon deck seems a bit unfair at times, as it can pull off so many plays. It was so nice to see it pushed so far against the wall that I thought he would lose this one. Still, a pretty good fight.

There's no need for an errata.

You can trust me or not, but this is how all players have been playing Chaosdra since it was printed

[@jude4195]

LET'S FUCKING GOOO

[@Alsonameholder]

I love Rust so much, his videos are always awesome. But, I have to disagree with this deck completely. Black, and Machine in general, have so many lower level blockers you can use to stay alive longer. Commandramon is a definite good choice. Not to mention, this deck can have crazy draw power if you put in the right cards. He didn't. He only has one Kazu which is insane for this deck. Ultimate Connection is a must as well. To help gain memory for Machine and more draws. And then there's Ex1 Guardro. His inherited is the when attacking version of Hagurumon. He is using a blue lvl 5. Machine and Chaos can only place black and red lvl 5 cyborgs underneath them. He should also 1000% not have used so many of the same types of lvl 5s. If you want two blocker inheritables, use 1 Andro and 1 Megadra instead of 2 Andro. And at least use one or two analog youths. I mean... I only use 1 because I sometimes hit tamers with him but he's still really good at searching. Usually. And only using one ex1 Machinedramon is not good. Like at all. Put him at least a 3. He's the star of the deck. Oh. And that 2 cost option Chaos X has is amazing for this deck. I think running it at 2 should be a must

[@rustmarrow]

Yea i totally get where ur coming from. What you describe is basically the Machinedra deck I built for BT11 where the goal was to win with Machinedra (whether EX1 or BT11) and EX3 Chaosdra. However, for this vid my focus was making a deck that can reliably build a stack of BT11 Machine -> EX3 Chaos -> Chaosdra X, hence the reduced emphasis on EX1 and additional copies of the EX1 Lv.5 searchers. So this build is what my playtesting led me to. EX1 Guardro/Kazu are missing/reduced cos the combo alrdy nets plenty of resources when it goes off. Honestly I don't think it's as optimised to win as a cleaner build that primarily focuses on EX1 Machine and EX3 Chaosdra, but that wasn't my goal. And they still could have taken the game with just a bit more luck

Just curious why use Pagumon instead of Dorimon? I know you want to stay in the theme of the deck but Pagu doesn't really belong to theme either.

[@rustmarrow]

Pulling off the full evolution route smoothly isn't very consistent, so I personally prefer Pagumon for consistency when I brick and just want to ram Lv.3s into Security while setting up resources. In my playtesting, I find that it's worth sacrificing the Dori draws for that cos when you do manage to pull off the full evolution route, you're already netting a lot of resources for it

Who knew Niko's partner would be a good ally in a ChaosMugenXdra deck? Also that trashing ,recycling and memory gaining part was insane. That really was a risky move playing the EX2 Imp there, but it paid off in the end. Horray to Beelze and Ai for reclaiming the server and Mako. Will Analogman regret his past actions and try his utmost best to give back what he had took from the others? Who knows, only time will tell
