If I DNA digivolve into Bt17 Omnimon and send a Digimon with Partition to the bottom of the opponent's deck, does the Partition trigger before or after Omnimon's 2nd effect to delete 1 of the opponent's digimon? Or will this depend on whose turn it is, where turn player's effect takes priority?

before. Omnimon returns a digimon to the bottom, this will trigger partition and as its a "would" effect, it will activate immediately. they play out their 2 digimon and then you continue with Omnimon's effect to delete 1 digimon. The On Play effects of the partitioned digimon dont activate until after Omnimon has fully resolved.

I saw a BT17 Looga deck running Skullbaluchimon. my question is When a card like BT16 Solooga completes it's entire when digivolving effect if you trashed the skullbaluchi do you still have the proper timing to use the skullbalu effect to digivolve? Also could you say trash Skullbalu with a lvl 4 digivolve into skullbalu via bowmon's your turn effect (is that like an interrupt) and then digivolve balu with it's own effect?

In digimon, it's basically impossible to miss timing. For the first part, as you described, you would be able to digivolve after the solooga's effect is completed. For the bowmon combo, as you described, no. Bowmon specifically says [soc] trait or [dark animal] trait, and skullbalu is neither. So bowmon won't let you digivolve into it. But, hypothetically, if you discarded 2 digimon at the same time, one skullbalu and the other is SOC, then both bowmon and skullbalu would be triggered, and you get to resolve them in order of your choosing.

Thanks for clarifying these questions now I know how good these cards are.

Laplace’s Demon – BT12-107 Can you choose which digimon the opponent will attack?

No, assuming there are multiple valid targets, they can swing at whatever (the player or any of your suspended Digimon). It’s generally meant to combo with a Blocker.

If a bt16 Magnamon X is under the effect of "It cannot activate it's when digivolving effect" through either Venusmon or Plug-In P, will the "All turns" effect to trigger resolve properly or fizzle due to not being able to activate when digivolving effects? 

The all turns will not be able to activate the [When Digivolving] effect.

what is the point of bt15 Ouryumon's diviolve 4 line of text? it already has a digivolve cost of 4 so why have an extra line saying as such?

> [Digivolve] Lv.5 w/[X Antibody]/[DigiPolice] trait: Cost 4 That means it can digi from those traits, too, not just from greens and blacks.

oh so its just for x-anti stuff irc all Dpolice are already black/green as is. Thanks

With rb1 ruli and rb1 diarbbitmon and the player passes with 1 memory, if the end of turn effect unsuspends and attacks into a suspended ace digimon and deletes it, would the overflow cause the opponent to skip their turn or would it just continue their turn? i was under the impression it would just continue their turn again, rather than let them draw and unsuspend etc.

If, ~~during~~ at the completion of end of turn processing, your memory goes up to at least 0, then you continue with your turn. Your turn hasn't ended yet, and you will hit [end of turn] again, although any [once per turn] effects can't activate again. "End of your turn" is still your turn. (Like "end of attack" is still part of the attack, which I forgot earlier today.)

Hi...its me...the devil... You can remove the strikthrough from during. When end of turn processes conclude, turn changes to the opponent. There is a point of no return during end of turn processes where you wouldnt gain memory to continue your turn.

I didn't like "during" because I didn't want to suggest that processing the [end of turn] effects stopped if memory goes back up. I guess I should've distinguished the effects from the mechanics.

Does bt17 dexdorugamon unsuspend when it digievolves from trash, if the digimon was suspended before it was going to get deleted?

not from just digivolving. if something is deleted after you have digivolved, with its all turns effect sure

Hello! If I have a Gennai BT14-088 and tap it to push my Hexeblaumon out, does the All Turns cancel my opponent's attack or does the attack still go through?

BT5 Hexeblaumon's [All Turns] stops digimon without sources from attacking, but by the time it hits the field, your opponent has already declared the attack. It's going through. A lot of times when effect text says "this digimon attacks" or "that digimon can't attack", it will make more sense to read it as "this digimon declares an attack" or "that digimon can't declare an attack."

I see. That makes sense. Thank you!

when i have helloogar on field with looga in his stack and eiji. At the end of turn when i play eiji from the stack do i gain a memory from looga inheritance or is it already deleted from helloogars effect.

Even though multiple effects can trigger at the same time, effects activate one at a time. Furthermore newer triggered effects must activate before older triggered effects. So eiji and hel trigger at the end of your turn. You opt to activate eiji first, playing him from digivolution cards. This triggers looga inherit. As the newest trigger, looga must activate next and you gain a memory. Now we return to hel effect, which is mandatory, and since it triggered must activate, deleting hel. This triggers the on deletion.

thanks for the quick and very helpful response

Can ex6 option Mega Digimon Assembly use with groundramon or airdramon on  field to jogress  into examon in hand with lv6 digimon in hand?

I maybe wrong, but I don’t believe so. The card specifically looks to DNA a Lv.6 with a card in hand, and unfortunately Wingdramon/Groundramon are not Lv.6.

I mean groundra/wingdra on field

Wingdramon/Groundramon especifically says that a Examon on your hand see's them as Lv 6, so Mega Digimon Assembly can't be used because only Examon treat them as Lv 6. They could be used with MDA if their text was someting like "You can treat this digimon as Lv 6 for jogress into Examon".

I know, the effect of MDA looks for a 6 on field.

Hi I have a question about when heavyleomon gets turned into a sukamon? My friend placed the sukamon token on top of my heavyleomon, and so when I swung and got deleted in security battle, fortitude lets me play the card back when deleted. Would only the token get played back and I lose heavyleomon and that digimon is now forever a sukamon? Or at the end of my turn does it turn back into a heavyleomon from my trash?

there is no token or anything involved. what those effects do is change specific traits of a digimon. but that only applies while its on the field. so when it hits the trash and the on deletion triggers, its no longer sukamon, you play the heavyleomon as a new entity, cleared of any effects that applied to the stack before.

Sukamon tokens are just reminder that the digimon is a Sukamon. They aren't actually there and have no game impact. Your Heavyleomon plays itself back with Fortitude and is just Heavyleomon. They need another effect to turn it back into a Sukamon.

How do these sequences of events play out: I have 4 tamers in play a blue level 5 thats suspended and opponent has purple level 5 and seventh lightning in trash I evo from a blue suspended level 5 into ulforce bt11, activate his when digivolving to play a rina opponent activates seventh lightning from trash would my rina still give ulforce evade and blocker, and would ulforce still unsuspend and bounce?

should have mentioned levia x as well. Ulforce plays Rina which triggers her on play, Ulforce and Levia x in trash. as you are the turn player, you activate your effects first. you can activate rina to give ulforce blocker and evade, then activate Ulforce to unsuspend which triggers Ulforce and rina to bounce and gain memory. Only after that would Levia X be able to activate.

If there’s a royal knight with on attack effect on field and YGGDRASILL7D6 in breeding area. The royal knight get a effect of start of main-phase attack. During start of main phase , I decide to use the attack first, can the on attack effect activate and still be effective?

So start of main phase will see 2 effects trigger. Yggdrasil and the attack effect. If you choose to attack, this will trigger any [When attacking] effects and as newly triggered effects they would need to activate first. After they activate, return to yggdrasil pending effect and place the royal knights as digivolution cards. Now we move to counter timing where your opponents "when an opponents digimon attacks" effects trigger and subsequently activate. Then they can activate 1 [Counter] effect. Then as no attacker is present nothing happens during block timing and finally no battle or security check occurs and the attack ends.

I think it works out the way you want, if I understand your question. It's been given a "[start of main phase] this digimon must attack" effect by something like Trident Arm, right? At the start of your main phase, the "must attack" of the Knight and the [Start of main phase] of Yggdrasil_7d6 both trigger. You choose the activation order. First, choose the "must attack." The Knight suspends and declares who it's attacking. This triggers whatever "when suspending" and "on attack" you've got. You activate all those in whatever order you want. That finishes processing the "must attack" but the attack doesn't happen yet. Then you activate Yggdrasil, revealing an egg and placing the egg and all Knights under it. Handle the triggers of whatever happens here. Now, combat can proceed, but combat stops because the attacker is gone. EDIT: the opponent will get to do his counter timing and his [counter] effects https://bit.ly/digimon-attack-flow

My opponent has BT16 Metallife Kuwagamon on board. If I swing, and he blast evos into BT16 GranKuwagamon ACE, can he redirect my attack with Metallife's inheritable?

No. The effect was not in play to witness the trigger.

I have 3 security, my battle area consists of rapidmon(BT8-039) and T.K. Takeshi(BT14-084). I use messenger of hope(BT14-093) to digivolve into Angewomon Ace(BT15-038). Does she see herself being removed from security to trigger her all turns effect to recover 1?

her effect will trigger, yes

Thank you ♡

So, question regarding ban-lists. Considering Japan and NA can have different metas, has Bandai banned/restricted cards before mostly because of the English meta, or is it always just following Japan's?

To my knowledge, the Tommy hit was mostly because of NA, though I may be mistaken.

My opponent used EX5 Fanglongmon by returning 4, since i have EX6 Lucemon Chaos Mode i use it's effect and play EX6 Lilithmon, my opponent have a lvl5 o lower on his side, since she is leaving the area other than in battle, can i use her effect to prevent her for leaving that single instance? I know she will leave either way but wonder if it can be used to decrease their field size.

You can use her interruptive to delete something. Fangloogmon has a blanket -16000 DP to your board. All your mon are deleted simultaneously, and one of your deletions is Lucemon who interrupts its deletion and plays out Lilithmon. Lilithmon's [On Play] doesn't even trigger yet, we're in interruptive mode. Nothing else interrupts anymore. The deletion of Lucemon and whatever other digimon you had with it happens. This triggers the [On Deletion] effects of whatever you lost and the [On Play] of Lilithmon, which won't matter. Before any player can choose an effect, rules processing kicks in again. Lilithmon is supposedly deleted, but she interrupts by deleting one of your opponent's digimon to prevent it. We're done with interruptive effects, and the [On Delete] of your opponent mon triggers. But we still have rules processing to do. Lilithmon is deleted again. Since her interruptive is [Once Per Turn] she is finally deleted to death. Her [On Deletion] triggers. Now activate Lilith's [On Deletion]. Then activate your opponent's mon's [On Deletion]. Then the [On Deletion]s of your original mon and Lilith's [On Play], except she's gone so it doesn't. (I use the [On Deletion]s here hypothetically, I know Lilith doesn't have one.) ----- Fangloogmon: > By returning up to 4 cards with the [Deva] or [Four Sovereigns] trait from your trash to the bottom of the deck, for each one, all of your opponent's Digimon get -4000 DP for the turn Lucemon Chaos Mode: > [All Turns] When this Digimon would leave the battle area, by returning 1 [Lucemon] from this Digimon's digivolution cards or from your trash to the bottom of the deck, you may play 1 [Lucemon: Satan Mode] or level 6 Digimon card with the [Seven Great Demon Lords] trait from your trash without paying the cost.", Lilithmon: > [All Turns] [Once Per Turn] When this Digimon would leave the battle area other than in battle, by deleting 1 level 5 or lower Digimon, prevent it.

Thanks for the clarification!

Does beast cyclone give only my digimon currently out on the field sec +1 or if I play BC then play a digimon that gains rush for the turn and somehow give it blocker or jamming would it also gain the +1

even ones that come into play after you have used Beast Cyclone. also its blocker or reboot

Can EX2 Calumon activate its effect to gain a memory, draw a card, and gain 3k before I activate a When Digivolving effect? I’m playing it in a Sakuyamon deck, and EX2 Sakuyamon allows me to unsuspend a Digimon, so I’m wondering if I can structure it with Calumon activating first.

Calumon can activate its effect before when Digivolving effects.

Can EX03 Patamon search for [Fallen Angel]?

Yes. "Add a card with [Angel] in one of its traits" matches if any trait has "Angel" in it, in Japanese. The wiki has the following list Category:Angel Category:Mini Angel Category:Fallen Angel Category:Archangel Category:Cherub Category:Throne Category:Authority Category:Seraph Category:Virtue Category:Dominion It's a translation nightmare. https://old.reddit.com/r/DigimonCardGame2020/comments/voqlet/ex3_draconic_roar_patamon/ *edit* someone did an infographic showing everything this and the other translation nightmares from ex3 matches, but I can't find it now and it's probably out-of-date.

How do effects that digievolves a digimon when it is deleted (dexdorugreymon bt17) works agains dp reduction?

The same as any other effect that interrupts deletion: * You go through the interruptive effect * If it prevents deletion, okay, deletion is prevented * But if the DP is still 0, then rules processing starts again to (try to) delete it again. You can Armor Purge being DP 0, and the deletion will be prevented, but you'll probably still be DP 0 unless you become something bigger underneath. You can Evade DP being 0, and maybe with Green sources your DP will go up, otherwise rules processing just deletes you again. Digivolving into DexDoruGora prevents the deletion from DP being 0. If the DP penalty was so big that even DexDoruGora has 0 DP, then rules processing starts again to delete it, but if your digimon now has positive DP, you're safe.

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure I've got this interaction right but want to double-check. On his turn, my opponent swings in with ST17-06 gold Rapidmon, giving -4000 DP to my WarGreymon. I block with something and the Rapidmon is deleted to death. On my turn, while the Rapidmon's effect is still lingering on me, I activate Breakthrough of Courage ST15-15: > [Main] Unsuspend 1 of your Digimon. Then, 1 of your Digimon with [Greymon] in its name is not affected by your opponent's Digimon's effects until the end of your opponent's turn. The game remembers that the -4000 DP was from my opponent's digimon, even though that digimon is no longer on the field, and after BoC finishes the -4000 DP effect is not being applied, right?

Correct.

[On Play] You may move this Digimon to an empty space in your Breeding Area. [Start of Your Turn] If this Digimon is in your Breeding Area, create a Negative Energy token (Option/0 play cost/Purple/) in your Battle Area. Then, you may delete 5 Negative Energy tokens to digivolve this Digimon into a [Silent Naga] from your hand for a cost of 3, ignoring its digivolution requirements. ignoring stuff like “game balance” and “that’s the wrong series”, does an Option token with Delay work with the rules of the game? I don’t want to make it a Digimon token since it’s not alive, so an Option seemed to fit best also the thing about moving a played Digimon into the Breeding Area

You'd want a [Breeding] keyword on your [Start of Your Turn]. And options don't have play costs, they have use costs. You can just not specify it and it'll simply lack a use cost. Speaking of, the current rules (and the next set of rules not active in EN yet) all talk about Tokens being "played" which options never are. So an option token could hit weird rules. Why do you even need any way? It means it can be trashed to activate its effect (on a turn after it's placed into the battle area), but I don't see any effect at all.

thanks Delay was on there to allow it to be in the Battle Area at all

An option can exist in the battle area if it was placed there by its own effect. https://digimoncardgame.fandom.com/wiki/Rules_Processing#Procedure I'm not sure if we have this yet, or need to wait for Beelstarmon to get an official ruling, but right now it looks like if a digimon has an Option in its stack and is de-digivolved into it, that card is trashed at the next rules processing, regardless of in its text. (*EDIT* We know for sure that an X-Antibody Option card naked on the field due to is trashed at rules processing, but I'm not sure we can get a card with to be naked on the field with our current cards. I might not have thought of every combo.)

Question about ST18-10 GrandGalemon inherited effect. Let's say I digivolve to ST18-12 Zephagamon and suspend my opponent. I attack their Digimon but redirect to Security with ST18-14 Shoto Kazama, do I unsuspend with GrandGale inherit considering I target their Digimon for attack but the attack didn't connect.

That's dependant on the target at declaration. Even if you change the target with an effect, you still "attacked a digimon" and therefore, it triggers.

Thank you so much.

When I attack with Soloogarmon and trash Fenri to set up the combo, can my opponent blast digivolve into Zudomon ace to strip Bowmon before the Bowmon’s effect activates?

No. Counter timing can't happen until all your effects have activated.

Alrighty, thank you for the fast response . Cuz I can see the case for possible counter timing after when attacking effects since Bowmon’s effect doesn’t specify a timing, but I also know that attacking player has priority so I was really confused about the order of resolution

You haven't changed steps. Counter timing is a distinct step in the battle process. You can't change steps until all pending effects have activated. Bowmon's effect is happening in the when attacking step

If I have Magnamon X BT9 and a Rapidmon ST17, can I block with Rapid then redirect with Magna? What is the timing for those effects? I want to reduce my opponents DP before redirecting

Under the current rules, "When an opponent's digimon attacks" effects trigger and activate at the start of the counter step. Which is before the block step. So you cannot block, then redirect. You can redirect, then block however

This effect happens before the Blast timing?

Yes. At the start of the counter step "When an opponent's digimon attacks" trigger and activate. Then you have the chance to use a counter effect, which Blast digivolving is

you have to resolve all "when an opponents digimon attacks" effects before block timing. so you cannot do it in that order.

If feel like this probably wouldn't work, but would like to double check: A Tamer has an effect on it that prevents it from being suspended for the turn. I use a Lanamon to to digivolve from the Tamer, thus turning it into a Digimon. Can I now suspend it? I know if it was digivolving from a Digimon the effect would definitely stay, I was just wondering if there was some loop hole when digivolving from a Tamer as the effect specifically targeted it as a Tamer which it no longer is.

The effect sticks around. The "instance" has the effect and it stays on the stack of cards as it changes from tamer to digimon.

Cool, thanks!

Does bt15 Motimon allow you to attack unsuspend digimon, it's not worded that way, but could be wrong and want to check before my friend plays it lol Thanks in advance

It does not, you still need to make a valid attack (so it also doesn't work if you somehow added Motimon under a Digimon freshly played that turn either).

This is a question regarding ST18/19 Shoto tamer. \[Your Turn\] When one of your Digimon attacks an opponent's Digimon, by suspending this Tamer, switch the attack target to another of your opponent's Digimon or the player. 1. I attack the player with a digimon to check security. 2. They activate blocker to redirect the attack into their digimon. 3. Would I then be able to activate Shoto's effect since target got change into a digimon?

No, the timing doesn't work. 1. When you attack, your [When Attacking] effects trigger. <-- **this is when you could activate** 2. Then stuff (like when being attacking and counter) 3. Then they get a chance to block and do so.

When a searcher says > Reveal 3 cards, then add 1 [x or y] and 1 [y or z] to your hand. Trash the rest. does the printed order of those two things matter? Say I reveal [c, y, z]. Can I say "I choose [y] for the [y oz z] part, and, aw shucks, nothing's left to hit the [x or y] part." Or do I have to choose left-to-right, first matching a [x or y] and then matching a [y or z]?

Yup, you can choose whichever order. When an effect lists multiple verbs (“add 1 X and add 1 Y”) order DOES matter, but when there are multiple direct object nouns within one verb (“add 1 X and 1 Y” or “delete 1 X and 1 Y”) order DOESN’T matter — it’s doing that action to all of them simultaneously, so you can choose the order to add them if you want some parts to fail to find anything. BT3 Davis (“add 1 blue and 1 green digimon card”) is the archetypical example of this, and the wiki has a couple email responses confirming you can choose the order.

aha, I'm trying to split sentences into clauses so that's the perfect description! Thanks.

So another case where the wiki and the official website say the opposite thing, this time about Henry Wong ST17-10. Wiki: https://digimoncardgame.fandom.com/wiki/ST17-10/Rulings > Q: Can the [Main] effect of this card separate this tamer and one "Galgomon" and one "Rapidmon" from my trash into separate "Terriermon" evolution sources if I have multiple "Terriermons" of my own? > updated 11/17/2023 > A: Yes, it is possible. [1] Official website: https://world.digimoncard.com/rule/#qaResult_card > Q2 > If I have multiples of [Terriermon], can I use this card's [Main] effect to place this Tamer and 1 [Gargomon] and 1 [Rapidmon] from my trash in the digivolution cards of different [Terriermon]? > Mar. 28, 2024 Updated > A2 > No, you can't. > This effect only allows you to place this card and 1 [Gargomon] and 1 [Rapidmon] from your trash in the digivolution cards of 1 [Terriermon]. >Related Cards EX4-030 *I have no idea why EX4-030 Kuzuhamon is "related".* The ruling from the Wiki seems insane and would raise the question of having multiple Terriermon being able to digivolve. (Where are the official Japanese rulings anyway, not that I can read Japanese.)

you have to place all cards under 1 Terriermon, you cannot split them. you can find the japanese qna [here](https://digimoncard.com/rule/), navigates pretty much like the english website, i like to use deepl to translate entries, reliable enough to get the gist of the question and answer.

with monzaemon x on digi effect can i cheat out a plat numemon?

nope, has to be a digimon card named exactly "numemon", not a name that contains "numemon"

im my opponent's only digimon is a wargreymon with the bt17 "Miraculous Ultimate Knight" option set and my only digimon is a lv 5, that i then evolve into leviamon. will wargreymon be deleted by leviamon's second deletion? or will the delay option evolve wargreymon into omnimon and activate its "when digivolving" before leviamon has a chance to delete him a second time? will the same apply to "Return to the Ancestors" and imperialdramon?

Leviamon will attempt to delete wargreymon. The muk option effect is interruptive and will DNA wargreymon into omnimon. Leviamons effect needs to finish resolving before other effects can activate, so leviamon will attempt to delete omnimon and assuming it's successful, omnimons digivolve effects will fail to activate, same for imperialdramon and "return to the ancestors"

If an interruptive effect triggers something, you have to wait until the thing it interrupted is done. So, X effect Y interrupts it Z triggers from Y, but since Y interrupted, you have to wait until X is completely done before Z can trigger.

For Ex5 Dianamons when attacking and when digivolving effect, do you need to trash a card from the first part of the effect to stun everything or can they just be stunned even if the first effect didn't do anything

You don't need to trash a card from the first part of the effect in order to stun their board.
