[BT15] An Apocalyptic Dune

The BT15 landscape

BT15 has stabilised into just 3 top-tier decks. 

At the very top we see Apocalymon cementing its position as the undisputed Tier-0 deck, while Anubismon and Metalgarurumon are both very strong Tier-1 OTK decks. 

Every other deck other than these 3 has seemingly become dust. 

Apocalymon is both Meta and Anti-Meta

In the EX5 that came before BT15, we saw the extremely potent Anubismon/Mervamon deck. With minimal setup, Anubismon can very efficiently flood the board with Mervamon and minions that can either rush, block, or board-control. Anubis/Merva is a relatively flexible toolbox deck that has just about everything needed to counter every other deck. See DDDTCG/Robin's write-up about this deck here!

Apocalymon serves as a good counter to the Anubis/Merva deck. It trivially punishes Anubis's blatant milling by speeding up deck-outs, and with correct tech card (Magnadramon) it slows down Anubis/Merva just enough for deck-out. However do note that currently Apocaly and Anubis can still be quite evenly matched. 

In fact, Apocalymon's milling can be so exorbitant that it becomes highly plausible to simply mill away your opponent's anti-Apocaly tech cards (such as Merciful mode), while the more trivial "cannot reduce play cost" rookie effects can simply be met by a simple Death Claw. To give context on this level of milling, each Apocalymon would cost only 3 to play and mills 8, so a deck size of 40 cards (discounting 10 cards in security and starting hand) takes 2 Apocalymons just 2 turns to deck-out.

Bandai's recent October 2023 banlist saw restrictions on the milling Gabumons and Eyesmon, largely in attempt to nerf Apocalymon. However, this banlist merely steered players from the Eyesmon build to a Garurumon-X build. And ever since Apocalymon has proven its consistency, players have started experimenting (with success) different tech cards for the Apocaly engine, such as Beelstar/Tidal and Ukkomon.

Bandai even went as far as promoting Apocalymon's weakness on their weekly "Digimon Card Battle" episodic on Youtube, which showcased Aoyama's Apocalymon deck suffering consecutive defeats due to slow milling. However, with the mulligan rule and BO3 format, experienced players can often fix a bad starting hand, and given that Bandai almost never bans cards from their most recent sets (for obvious reasons) it would seem that Apocalymon will be staying at the top for at least a couple more months. 

Another Apocalymon Winning Decklist

Contending Decks

In BT15, almost every deck has to be made 'Apocaly-proof', and there are several ways that players are going about. 

Most contending Tier-1 decks are built for OTK to take advantage of Apocalymon's lack of offense. In a game of speed, if Anubis/Merva or Metalgarurumon manages to OTK before Apocalymon mills out Magnadramon/Metallicdramon or for more Apocalymons then the game can be pretty much secured. 

While other deck that uses 'Omegamon Merciful Mode' may have a chance at beating Apocaly at its game, they may not fare as consistently if the deck was not built to 'draw Merciful' and winning quickly. Furthermore, a lucky Apocalymon player will use a Craniamon for protection, and every turn an Apocalymon stays on board is a massive horror story for the opponent. 

Disappeared Decks

OTK decks such as Loogamon relies on blatant early game mills to setup the hand and trash, properties punishable by Apocalymon. Since the Loogarmon line does not have protection, the OTK mechanic can be easily thwarted by an Apocalymon inheriting both Blocker and Retaliation. Similar can be said about Bloomlord decks. 

Sec Con decks have also seen a sudden disappearance due to its complete ineffectiveness against Apocalymon. Aside from being too slow, recovery of security is a completely meaningless against a deck designed to deck-out. Other variants such as Agumon/Hybrid are also less potent since value cannot be generated from security hits. 

Final Thoughts

Apocalymon has managed to cripple every other deck, while the only 2 other surviving decks try to find their inflated self-worth amidst a barren land. Done were days of healthy deck-building, variety, and innovation. For weeks all we see is a purple trifecta, and the consolations being minor innovations that sets each deck every slightly apart. 

BT15 is truly an Apocalyptic Dune.

[News] New Restriction list to be applied from October 27 2023

Today (17 Oct) Bandai released the new restriction list that will be applied from 27 Oct 2023 for Japanese format. Not only that, they also lift up the restriction for Himi blue tamer and SaviorHuckmon. 

Restriction list is also released the same for English format even though it is currently in BT13 (ST15 ST16) timeline.

[Banned and Restricted Card Announcement] Effective on November 17, 2023

Restricted Cards (1 copy per deck)

• ST6-03 Gabumon

• BT2-069 Gabumon

• BT13-012 GeoGreymon

• EX4-019 MachGaogamon

• BT7-069 Eyesmon: Scatter Mode

Unrestricted Cards (4 copies per deck)

• BT6-015 SaviorHuckmon

• BT7-086 Tommy Himi

Consider the current meta in both Japanese and English format, the new restriction won't change the Japanese meta much but affect a lot in English meta.

In JP BT15, Apocaly can use the Garuru-x line (blue/purple) to draw and trash cards. It is much more effective compared to the traditional way that we use Gabumon lv3 or Eyesmon Scatter Mode. The same methods also used in Beelstar deck.

The purple meta in BT15 such as Apocaly, Loogamon, Anubis-Merva and Metalgaruru are all safe from this new restriction. 

For Geogreymon and Machgaogamon, currently we don't see Shingreymon or MirageGaogamon in BT15 winning list, so with this limitation, I am not sure what is Bandai's purpose.

With unrestriction for Himi tamer and SaviorHuckmon, it makes sense because Himi is a tamer. And for the SaviorHuckmon, after the restriction, Jesmon deck almost drop to the bottom of the tier list. We are not sure if Jesmon can come back again.

Himi can't stop the threat of Apocaly.

For English Format.

If we look at the BT13 English format, especially Ultimate Cup result, we will see the pure color of MirageGaogamon or ShineGreymon, Belphemon (using the Scatter Mode). So this is actually a big hit to the current BT13 English meta.

Conclusion: Bandai has taken the current English meta into serious consideration to create this restriction list.

[EX5] Robin: Anubis – Merva Head of the Table

Introduction

Hello DigiDestined! This is Robin from DigiDestined Doods (@DDDTcg). With the recent release of EX5, we have seen the popularity of purple decks rising: Belphe-Levia, MetalgaruruX, Beaststar (credits to @slyx183 for the naming) and finally Anubis-Merva. Let’s dive in and understand more about this Eygptian God’s terror.

Anubis-Merva Deck Ratio

This is a recommended skeleton structure for anyone looking to start with Anubis-Merva. The deck aims to set up Anubis to flood the board with Merva as fast as turn 2 or 3 and it packs consistency with wisdom training and purple memory boost. Gazi and psyche help to lock your opponent’s board leaving them with little room to counter. The deck also packs superb draw power from Tsunomon, DoberX, and BlueMera, so getting your pieces is not an issue. Unfortunately, the deck still struggles with Pomumon, Pillomon, and Gotsumon (Digimon that do not allow players to play Digimons by effect) and also Leviamon with Biting crush option.

Anubis-Merva in EX5 Environment

In the current meta, games can be determined in the blink of an eye with decks like FenriLoogamon, Shinegreymon BM, MirageGaogamon BM, but we also see control decks like BloomQuantum, Huanglong, Belphemon also making success in reacting to these fast matchups. Anubis-Merva combines both of these elements to establish a strong presence that your opponent has a difficult time dealing with. Below you can find my decklists that I had success in the recent 3v3 and Magnacup Tournament.

Source: https://x.com/DDDTcg/status/1699806943706337683?s=20

Common Ruling

Anubis effects can be hard to catch at first but there are a few things that you should take note of, Let’s break it down into 2 parts:

[When Digivolving] [Main] [Once Per Turn] You may trash up to 3 cards in your hand. Then, play 1 purple Digimon card from your trash for the cost. When it would be played by this effect, reduce the play cost by 3. For each card trashed by this effect, further reduce it by 1.”

  • The effect can be triggered even when Venusmon blanket is on the field as it is a main effect
  • You may trash up to 3 cards so you can opt to not trash anything and play a purple digimon for – 3 cost
  • If your opponent has a Psychemon on the field, you can still use Anubis’s effect but you would need to pay the full cost.
  • When you play Mervamon from trash, total cost to play would be 2 cost (-6 cost + Digixros -3) and + 1 memory if you have Ignitemon as ESS


[Your Turn] When your Digimon is played by an effect, delete 1 of your opponent's level 5 or lower Digimon. If no Digimon was deleted by this effect, <Draw 1>. “

  • This effect only allows you to delete or draw per digimon(s) played by effect. In the stance of Mervamon, When you play Mervamon from trash (considered as 1 played by effect) and Mervamon plays 2 digimon by effect (considered as 1 played by effect) you will be able to delete up to 2 Level 5 or lower digimon or if no digimon is deleted, draw 2
  • You can play Mervamon to slot another Mervamon but you would not gain memory from Ignitemon’s inherit, you could play around de-digivolve or dexmon in this way.


Level 3 Flex Slots:

Labramon sits on my bench because I felt that the times that I needed to return an Anubis or Merva seem very low, as once you establish the board flood, the game is pretty much yours, just watch out for Dexmon!

Gabumon gives you the +1 memory and needed draw/discard to cycle through your deck, which suits very well in situations when you are bricking.

Elecmon can clear the pesky memory blockers, playcost blockers, and your arch nemesis, played by effect digimon blockers. Although it needs to be deleted, you might be able to trigger it with “Calling from the Darkness” or CeberusmonX inherit effects.

Spadamon, a tech choice to de-digivolve your opponent when played with Mervamon effect, and when you slot under the Mervamon. You can also delete the level 5 digimon (after being de-digivovled from level 6) and clear the board! Its inherited effects can also help you to search for another Xros Heart digimon.

Level 4 Considerations

You can basically run the same package as Minervamon deck, with more retaliation digimon so that you can gain rush and blocker. Dobermon also offers additional draw power as you can X-digivolve into DoberX to give you +2 draw and discard 1, with another digimon gaining rush. 

Pocupamon is there to delete any pesky blockers, and could potentially proc twice with doberX giving another digimon retaliation to help you gain control of the board if needed.


Level 5 Considerations

There are 2 considerations to selecting your level 5s, Firstly, it should be able to pull back memory with your Gobli and Orge inherited effects so that you can digivolve to Anubis to continue your turn and board flood.

Secondly, it would serve as a secondary effect for Anubis to play from the trash in scenarios where you are not able to play Mervamon. You can use DoberX and Pumpkinmon on play effects to call back a Gazi or Psychemon to have 2 additional bodies on the board. 

These are unorthodox choices, test them if you like! 

Tamer Considerations

The Tamers slots are really tight, and you would probably need to sacrifice memory or training options to include these cards. Although they do value-add to your gameplay (win more cards), they are not key pieces to achieving your win conditions, but feel free to test around with them!

Options Considerations

For options choices, if you would like to take a more defensive stance, you can opt for Rivals’ Barrage or Pummel Whack, to be able to clear the key cards when needed. Rivals’ Barrage works well with EX1 Ladydevimon and you can also consider EX2 Dobermon to play it into the play area.

Calling from the Darkness is mainly needed to recycle Ruin mode, the blanket -DP has proven super effective in the current meta, with many decks playing from the raising.

Final Thoughts

If you can’t beat them, join them. This is a straightforward deck with a clear win condition, board flood, and control. The difficulty in piloting the deck is suitable for any new purple players too! (like me!) Having said that, there are also interesting deck-building ideas that can complement Anubis playstyle like using Levia/Biting Crush to deal with mirror matches (Crocodile Dundee!) and Bephlemon, which I will be testing in upcoming tournaments. Thank you for reading and until then I AM THE TABLE!

[ST16-EX5] MetalGarurumon Ace – "Jamming" and "Recovery"

Introduction

We are seeing a new purple-blue MetalGarurumon Ace / Xantobody in EX5 meta that won a lot tournaments during this time. Knowing this deck, personally I found it is very strong. Let me list out some key point of this deck.

An example, source is here.

The "Jamming" that helps it never deck-out

Unlike the BT9 blue Gabumon/Garurumon X protection, the purple-blue LV3 Gabumon X and Lv4 Garurumon X protects the Mega from deleted during battling by returning 2 cards (non-egg) from trash to bottom of the deck in both turns. This effect is like a "Jamming", but protected in all turns which makes it even better. 

And Cool-boy is so perfect for the deck. Without the effect of returning cards to bottom of the deck, Cool-boy would normally cause it deck-out, but now it is safe from that.

BT9 MetalGaruruX is better than EX5 MetalGaruruX

While EX5 MetalGarurumon X can delay the game (defense) because it seems that the opponent would lost their turn immediately after they declare first attack, sound good right. But what I feel I need the most when I digivolve into LV6 X antibody would be the "unsuspend this Digimon".  It maybe just a last hit to finish the game, or unsuspend to block in next turn.,etc.

Because purple line don't have "Security Attack+1" so we rely on multiple attacks at LV6 Digimon. So with the EX5 LV5 WereGaruru X and LV6MetalGreymon Ace (ST16) + LV6 X Antibody, we have total 3 checks. If the MetalGaruruX survives, the evolving into BT5 Omnimon will trigger another check to opponent's security in one turn. 

The Metalgaruru and Omnimon are protected during battling, so if the opponent's security has "Option" cards that can delete/return to hand(deck)/place to its own security then the Metalgaruru gone.

However, for the current meta, not many lethal option cards are used, only Sec Con (maybe).

The "Recovery"

X antibody Protoform introduced and replace the old BT9 X antibody option card.

While the BT9 X-antibody option card is good to counter those blue decks that trash the digivolution source then those cards without digivolution cards can't attack during its turn/next turn and also allows the attacking Digimon to evolve into a "X antibody" Digimon, the new EX5 X-antibody Protoform is simply for "recovery" and recycle cards because we can pick 1 Digimon from the digivolution source of the one that leaves the battle. (It is good to recycle LV5 or LV6 Metalgaruru Ace.)

You won't be able to take back the white cards from trash if you use the "calling from darkness", so get them from security is the easier method.

Another Variant, Ulforce Zero and Rina

UlforceVeedramon and Rina combo has the advantage with this deck's tech because the deck has a certain number of cards in trash.

Basically as long as we have enough trash, the "All turn" without "Once Per Turn" effect of Rina can make the Ulforce Zero attack until trash-out.

But there are weaknesses, UlforceZero with only 12000 DP and no "protection" is vulnerable to the opponent's security and 12k DP blocker.
