Digimon Xros Wars (or Digimon Fusion in EN dub) introduced us to Kudou Taiki (or Mikey Kudo in EN dub) and Shoutmon back in 2010. In the anime adaptation, there were 4 factions led by different generals: Taiki's Xros Heart, Kiriha's Blue Flare, Nene's Twilight, and Yuu's Bagra Army. These factions has now been properly introduced in BT-10.
Unlike the earlier renditions of Xros Wars Digimons that started back in BT-05, the new Xros Wars Digimons have traits relating them to their respective factions.
Before diving into the cards, let us quickly recap some new effects that were introduced in this set.
– [DigiXros-N]: When you play this card, you may place 1 of each of the llisted cards from your hand/battle area to the bottom of this Digimon's digivolution cards to reduce its play cost by N for each card placed.
– [Safe]: when this Digimon is deleted, put it below 1 of your tamers.
– [Material Safe N]: when this Digimon is deleted, put N-number of cards from this Digimon's digivolution cards stated in its [DigiXros] condition to the bottom of 1 of your tamers.
The general idea of the [DigiXros] system is to play Digimons instead of taking the usual digivolution route. Rookie Digimons can be played for their [On Play] effects, and then swinging at your opponent aka rookie-rush style. When they are deleted, they can use [Safe] to return to your tamer, to be later relaunched as a [DigiXros] Digimon.
Nice review and summary! Hyped for it
Minervamon look spicy with mastemon. Spamming body and combo with maste effect.
Sakuya buff is interesting that the option return to security.
Venus is questionable as i still not sure how her effect work. Does sa 0 allow use of effect?
Ey b0ss… SA 0 is the result of SA+ and SA- effects netting into 0 (e.g. +1 -1) so Venus' 2nd effect will work.
If you mean SA 0 = the default checks a Digimon can perform, that's not a effect. Per game rules, a Digimon checks 1 security when attacking a player. A Digimon doesn't have an inherent on them.
In generel its an amazing set. Its really something for fans of the Xros Wars anime and the new digi xros mechanic is great to evolve the game. A little disappointment is that some great cards are not inclued like Shoutmon X7 and Bagramon ( as you said ). Was hoping for SEC variants of both in this set but its okay. Maybe we see again something new for the next set BT11 because the Shoutmon X7 should be a xros between three colors. So the potential for a powerful BT11 is also there. But before im looking forward for BT10. Im really hyped.
