Ulforce

Overview

In the blue world, besides the powerful Omegamon, [BT2-032] UlforceVeedramon is another favorite "pillar" digimon used in many blue tournament decks. Although not as powerful as Omegamon (since he only LV6 and has only 11000DP hence can be easily destroyed in battle with another LV6 12000DP digimon) he is cheap to digivolve (3 cost) and he receives super-support from blue tamers, making him a worthy candidate in blue decks. This digimon can attack as many times as the number of blue tamers on the field, and gains +1 memory in the process.
Mechanism
Since UlforceVeedramon has relatively low DP, he benefits from inheritable effects from lower digimons.



Passing down effects that trigger when UlforceVeedramon becomes active/unsuspended makes perfect sense. [BT2-028] AeroVeedramon ensures that Ulforce will survive security checks, while [BT2-002] Demiveemon grants the much needed DP boost in the event that Ulforce is used to battle a larger digimon.
Blue Tamers - Here I come



Blue decks are not able to summon tamers for free like Yellow decks (due to RizeGreymon) so using cheap cost tamers are preferred (not considering summoning from the security pile). Here we have [P-012] Taichi V-Tamer with only 2 cost (too bad he is only available in promotion pack so he is hard to find) which grants either <draw+1> or +1000DP to Ulforce. Another tamer at 2 cost is [ST2-12] Matt Ishida, but his main effect is not really valuable for Ulforce (as he does not rest). The second candidate is [BT2-086] Rina Shinomiya, her main effects work great with Ulforce since she adds 1000DP to UlforceVeedramon (Nice). Lastly [BT1-086] Matt Ishida (4 cost) can be occasionally useful hence can be considered in this engine.
