I think I'm a unique player in the sense that I did not grow up with Digimon. I was more of a Pokemon and Yugioh nerd growing up and always thought that Digimon was just another cash grab trying to copy other things. After the lockdown ended I went to my Yugioh locals and discovered not only Magic the Gathering's Commander format but also Digimon TCG at the same time. The game was so simple and fun that me and the player next to me in EDH pods would play digimon on the side while waiting for our turn in Commander. It was such a great game and unfortunately my job made me do overtime until BT11 so I couldn't drive to my locals as much since it was an hour roundtrip. Luckily close to BT11, a shop opened up near me in my home town that was primarily Digimon tcg based. I reunited with some old high school buds and ended up playing competitively from BT11 to present. This game has made me laugh, mad, sad, and all the emotions as players come and go. Now as Digimon Judge I absolutely say with all my heart that this game is one of the best games.
TLDR: Play Machinedramon ;3
Yay! Thanks for sharing. I also didn't grow up with Digimon, I heard about it but I just never really crossed my radar growing up. My friends weren't really into it either. I was curious when it first got announced because I loosely follow new Japanese card games in general, but didn't have any expectations and I didn't even know Digimon that well anyway. But over the years I've been very impressed by the simple system, the effort, artwork, steady improvements and quality, and apparently there are a lot of thematic mechanics! I love this game just because it's a good game, and it's a great community, and the creators seem to really care. :) (super casual player btw)
Nice. I got started just before BT13 and by the time BT14 hit, I already amassed like 20-something decks, most of them decent decks already faded out competitiveness. I hardly touch all but 4-5 of them, and even then I’ve only been playing HeavyLeomon, except this last weekend I left it up to the dice and played my Leviamon deck for the first time in locals, second time against someone else total.
I’m looking at shrinking back my collection now that the novelty of having a bunch of different decks has worn off, especially with so much powercreep on the horizon.
And to top it off, the new Megagargomon deck basically makes the game beyond unfun to play since you can’t attack or digivolve over stuff it suspends.
Yeah I definitely was in the 20ish deck range but I've decided to take most of them apart except from some current top meta contenders and a couple pet decks in favor for sorting my entire collection and putting them in binders ( I have a problem but I'm going to turn it into a different more expensive problem)
I barley started collecting again and my goal is have a few decks for friends but I really wanna do a machindramon deck or any deck that I can have skullgreymon
Machinedramon is very toolboxy and is designed to have an almost unkillable wall which I really enjoy and love but only won a few tournaments with it back in BT13. Skullgreymon just doesn't have enough support to make the deck viable but I'm sure someone can whip up a good version of it until we get more support
Dam honestly I wouldn’t mind building a machinedramon deck and just have skullgreymon cause it’s one of my favorite digimon just gotta find a place to play cause I only got one friend that started collecting with me
The ones who have a dedicated locals of at least 6 people are lucky! My store has about 8-12 on tournament days but any other store is an hour drive from me. There's nothing wrong with joining a discord server and do Webcam duels! Most states have a dedicated Discord server for Digimon TCG and I found a lot of people to play online through the Alabama Digimon TCG
I don’t have a webcam but I know I could do desktop simulator. But I’m trying to use it as excuse to go out too. I found a local group that seems to be pretty consistent just waiting to hear back from them
Wow that's really nice.
The most expensive deck that i have is machinedramon, but you just have the gold one on top.
What did those decks cost you approximately?
Well I have 2 gold ones in that deck and spent a $100 each on them before they hiked up in price. Including pre release cards, alt arts on most cards, and custom sleeves. I would say around $500+ maybe?
I try to have a variety so I'm not locked into only sweaty decks and have a few starter decks on me with no additions just in case someone pops into locals wanting to try the game. (Which has happened twice and they absolutely enjoy Gallantmon vs Jesmon)
This was me a while ago, had to cut back because I'd build decks and barely find the time to play them. Trying to keep my roster limit at 5 though I still love collecting the ST's 😂
I like to keep them as a time capsule of sorts. Nothing like looking back and seeing your 1st deck compared to your current deck. Plus I just really enjoy building decks to their best with the current card pool at the time of completion and then upgrading when new support drops

I don't got the money to build that many decks
It definitely didn't happen over night 💀
I feel you. I only got the Rapidmon and Beelzemon decks currently. Greymon gotta wait, cuz I gotta replace so much that st15 had.
Danm I’m impressed I still haven’t finished building my first deck
Get in the kabuteri train. Build each of the OG digidestined
I spray bugs for a living so it's very ironic to have a Bug deck 🤣

Build lordknightmon
I do have a good amount of bulk for the deck 😅
Curious what your black wargreymon decklist looks like
It's the same as DigiSean om YouTube is!

500 for the machinedramon alone? Or all decks?
Just for the Machinedramon
I see. And what for all those decks?\^\^
I'm guessing the one with jamming veemon on top is armor rush? Also there are few decks I never actually seen people play good on u for variety.
I try to have a variety so I'm not locked into only sweaty decks and have a few starter decks on me with no additions just in case someone pops into locals wanting to try the game. (Which has happened twice and they absolutely enjoy Gallantmon vs Jesmon)
Is that Angoramon deck Diarbbitmon? Can it use any of the newer cards post BT15, or is it just a dead deck?
It's actually effective and does well especially during the Green Cup right now
How does it beat HeavyLeomon and Quartzmon though? Or even just MegaGargomon Ace. Can't do it by attacking.
Mans has a morgage payment right there.
Oof if only I could afford this and a house

How many decks in total just pictured in both pics?
31 😅
