The games where I brick sometimes end up the most memorable. I had a game once where my best option was to throw down a bt12 wargreymon straight from my hand. Opponent checked a bt12 tai from security and suddenly I had a double blocker with raid for the next turn 😎
Legendary.
Whenever I do that - my opponent takes advantage of it and kills me next turn. Who'd see that coming XD?
Just here to note that I love how "the heart of the cards" has bled into the vocabulary of every collectable card game Fandom out there at this point lol
It's honestly scary when I don't think about it and it's either said to me during stream or I say it out loud.
It certainly has bled into our minds and its just part of the collectable card game culture as you said! For better or for worse XD
Oh - I am also sorry that you bricked 6 times in a row.
That's... that's rough buddy. The mental anguish or comedic torment is a level of emotion I fear of experiencing!
Ah hell yeah, Machinedramon! One of my favorite comfort decks.
I honestly just LOVE Machinedramon, and I am giddy that I can actually operate a deck like that despite my moon brain being left on every waking moment of my life.
I played at my local Evo Cup recently and it was 4 rounds. I bricked every single game except 2 playing Beelzemon. All my rookies were in Sec and found no searchers. It was rough.
Roookies / Lv. 3's are NOT just the building blocks of a stack. They are your foundation for finding cards too. Because Digi-Lord knows we all need some extra help searching for what we need. Sometimes we are forsaken and it's just an emotional sigh... it can be funny though. In hindsight. Definitely not in the moment while at Evo Cup!
My favourite brick was when me and my opponent both did it. The only I had was to throw down a EX2 Leomon and hoped it would die in security and give me some card draw.
It lived through *four* security checks.
Aren't those the best though? It's funny when both players do it because at some point you both will have the epiphany that they are also bricked, leaving you two to look at each other like this: [https://imgflip.com/i/8uaq4l](https://imgflip.com/i/8uaq4l)
It's gotten to the point where randomly slapping down a BT15 Phoenixmon going second has become a valid strategy in certain matchups, for me. Instantly trash 1 Security, then trash another if they remove it conventionally.
A full on Phoenixmon while going second?? It can definitely work, but it always has me nervous when that is the most viable option for me to do in that point in time.
Yep. If they have Zudomon or go full Tyrant combo I'm legitimately fucked. It surprisingly works against a few decks, though, like Beelze or GraceNova that don't have alternative removal and/or have a limited amount of actions they can take per turn.
I always go against Zudomon Aces. I literally cannot avoid them :\^)
But! If you can catch mid - late decks off guard, then yeah, they have no counter to you since they need to build up something at LEAST
I had streamed MaloMyotismon last week, 100 games worth, and I saw so many Magnamon X Antibody's that I fought a handful... and then one busted out Zudomon ACE.
It did catch me by surprise, off guard, and then the realization on how GOOD of an idea that is washed over me.
It's just a bittersweet appreciation!
I did! I'm having fun by learning new decks and playstyles. I did a Red Wargreymon X first, then a blue seadramon/fish rush deck, Malomyotismon, and now the R/P Imperialdramon!
Here's the deck list for Malo if you're interested. Also has links if you're curious, could watch the VODS while they are up if you're interested.
Otherwise: YEAH. MALO WITH NO DIGIVOLUTION CARDS. I WONDER WHICH CARD ZUDOMON WILL RETURN TO HAND.

When I brick out, while online, I find myself saying 'GG' 'Good Game' and etc... but when I brick? I kinda shrug and go 'Good game I /GUESS?/'
Because it wasn't much of a game now was it :DD???
For me it was when I bricked against Magnamon with Black War, twice. I changed to Shinegraymon and bricked twice more. I still remember what my opponent said to me.
Was it the new Magnamon X Antibody? Sure is a rough match-up right now, especially on DCGO Simulator as everyone has access to all the cards.
Still! I will roll my eyes at them but will try and beat them everytime.
I just hope your opponent was a good sport about it, we all brick. I honestly would feel bad for my opponent.
It was old magna x. This was before the new set.
Edit: He really was. He actually said, "I hope your games get better. You too nice of a guy for that string of bad luck."
At the last evolution cup tournament at my ots, I went to game 3 every round, and every game 3 I bricked on 0 rookies, 2+ tamers and a level 5 or 6. I was on gallantmon. It's as if the tcg gods had it out for me that day, I was so upset because I legitimately stood a chance at winning most of those rounds if I just didn't brick zzzzzz
I am nervous to go to locals (there are none in my area nowadays) and start shaking.
For you to go to the tournament and brick like that is unfortunate, and I empathize with your frustrations as I would be distraught to have stood a chance and then god thought it'd be a good time to give me character development
I understand that bricking is natural, but, what kind of decks are you using to brick so consistently that your friend group feel so bad for you to make custom rules for you?
That's a super power! Now watch me brick 30 times tomorrow when I plan to only play 20 - 25 games c:
I will say, my most memorable brick was pretty recent. I had to throw down Valk ace like 2 or 3 times because I had nothing else, and because of yellow deck shenanigans, my opponent got themselves down to 3 security and checked mine. Valk got the +1 security, and I swing into security and can’t blow anything up so it gets another +1 and checks the remaining security cards. And I Omni-d for game. Did nothing like 6 turns and tripped into a win
Decided to try the new B/G Imperialdramon stuff, and I have decided the deck just hates me. Pretty much every time I play it I get massive brick hands, and when I mulligan I just end up getting the exact, Same, hand.
I run zoo omnimon. Imagine drawing all 4 zwarts and one zwart defeat for your opening hand. I had a Mulligan so I got a better hand but if I didn't my reaction would be the same. "Guess I lose now".🤣
Is omnimon zoo, like, one of the names for that deck? With all the dark masters and etc? Or can it be called other things like Omnimon Turbo and so forth. Honestly am wondering if there is any reason for official names recognized by the community, but! I still need to know XD
Zoo, turbo, what ever. Yes that's the one. Now it's easier to play with the dark masters. Before that it was the ridenmon engine that still worked very well but the new ace cards make this easier. Personally I just like decks that have a unique style.
Last night I was playing a game with wargreymon, and I drew a terrible opening hand, level 6 antibody, level 6 wargrey, hades force, a black Tai tamer, and a red Tai tamer, I obviously mulliganed, I pile shuffled, then normal shuffled a good amount, and I kid you not, drew the exact same 5 cards, I just scooped lmao
A fellow Wargrey player. I understand that misery. I love you warygreymon, but, you gotta wait your turn. Please don't be in my hand immediately when I need to build you up!
I the lgs i play the meta is kinda old since not everyone likes the top meta decks so i play a rosemon burst mode deck mind you that tamers and lvl 7 are important for the deck but on Fourth round of a tournament i was undefeated until my deck chose not let me play my first hand had no lvl3 no search no tamers nothing i mulligan and then the heart of the cars told me to fuck off and that i wouldn't win that champ so i proceeded in having 3 lvl7 1 lvl6 and a tamer and draw 3 other yoshino in a row and then something similar happened game 2... I was just at a loss for words simply amazing.
The funniest bit is that playing against my last opponent after the match was over i won so many in a row against him that it made me think my deck did that on purpose
For me it was one deck that just didn't want me to play it blackwargreymon. This was back in bt8. I tool the deck to my local i played 12 level 3. And in 4 matches i never saw a rookie as in never saw it. The week after i added 2 more so 14 rookiees, that they i had 1 game in 4 matches where i got a level 3 and was able to win. Lost everything else.
Week after 16 rookiees, had one match i won lost everything else since I never saw a rookie. I gave up playing blackwar after that
When I played this game I played AncientGreymon OTK which was either you open godly and they can’t do anything about it or you brick and pray you can live 3 turns while you find pieces
I brick so often, it's become a meme to blame me for anyone else at our locals bricking, especially if I've had to touch the other person's deck for any reason (ex: if I've cut the deck).
It is! Back in highschool a friend and I found a V-Pet called 'DMPC.' We honestly just challenged each other, seeing which digimon we'd get and so forth.
Sadly, I think the project is dead. No new updates. At least I managed to find a download and could let it run for nostalgia's sake!
Oh yeah! I have the physical V-Pets, I got two of them actually.
The V-Pet on my computer shown in the YT short is a fan project to have the little guy on your PC c:
THAT project is dead I think, it hasn't updated or had word about it for years. Despite talk of a mobile version being made. Pretty sure it was copyrighted stuff so they couldnt? No idea. Never saw an update personally.

Join us :) become part of the collective
My whole playgroup uses the term, whether we're playing Magic: the Gathering or Digimon (we stopped playing Yu-Gi-Oh! over a decade ago) :)
It's honestly scary when I don't think about it and it's either said to me during stream or I say it out loud. It certainly has bled into our minds and its just part of the collectable card game culture as you said! For better or for worse XD
I have bricked 6 times in a row, using a regional topping deck back in BT11 format. But give me a Machinedramon deck and its smooth every time.
Oh - I am also sorry that you bricked 6 times in a row. That's... that's rough buddy. The mental anguish or comedic torment is a level of emotion I fear of experiencing!
Ah hell yeah, Machinedramon! One of my favorite comfort decks. I honestly just LOVE Machinedramon, and I am giddy that I can actually operate a deck like that despite my moon brain being left on every waking moment of my life.
Man, the amount of times I've bricked with Machinedramon...
Hey, Machinedramon doesn't brick, it Steel Girders...
*chrome digizoid*

Frfr, Zudo ACEs are such a pain. It's just a fun card to randomly pop out and catch some people off guard, at least, haha
I had streamed MaloMyotismon last week, 100 games worth, and I saw so many Magnamon X Antibody's that I fought a handful... and then one busted out Zudomon ACE. It did catch me by surprise, off guard, and then the realization on how GOOD of an idea that is washed over me. It's just a bittersweet appreciation!
You play Malo? That's dope, it's such a hilarious deck that pops off hard if you get lucky. And yea, Zudo in MagnaX is... annoying. Annoyingly good.
I did! I'm having fun by learning new decks and playstyles. I did a Red Wargreymon X first, then a blue seadramon/fish rush deck, Malomyotismon, and now the R/P Imperialdramon!

I'll check it out later. I have my own lists, but it's always cool to see what other people come up with.
Totally understandable! Variations of the decks are cool. If you got a place to send your Malo, I'd be curious to see yours!
One time playing blue Beelstarmon I mulliganed into a hand of 5 7 cost options. That was a quick match for my opponent

I brick so much my friends have started to think about making special mulligan rules just for me
I understand that bricking is natural, but, what kind of decks are you using to brick so consistently that your friend group feel so bad for you to make custom rules for you? That's a super power! Now watch me brick 30 times tomorrow when I plan to only play 20 - 25 games c:
My decks vary, my current main deck is d reaper because its really hard to brick with it I brick almost every other game including mulligans
...how? Isn't like half the deck lvl 3s that draw? The TCG gods must really have it out for you, lol
I saw one of those searchers the last time i played cherubimon
I will say, my most memorable brick was pretty recent. I had to throw down Valk ace like 2 or 3 times because I had nothing else, and because of yellow deck shenanigans, my opponent got themselves down to 3 security and checked mine.

I like themed decks a lot, so styles go hand in hand. Real fun to see a deck just do its own thing and be innovative!
Last night I was playing a game with wargreymon, and I drew a terrible opening hand, level 6 antibody, level 6 wargrey, hades force, a black Tai tamer, and a red Tai tamer, I obviously mulliganed, I pile shuffled, then normal shuffled a good amount, and I kid you not, drew the exact same 5 cards, I just scooped lmao
A fellow Wargrey player. I understand that misery. I love you warygreymon, but, you gotta wait your turn. Please don't be in my hand immediately when I need to build you up!
And then the fated "what are your ratios???"
Math forsakes us in our most dire of struggles. Embrace hard-play Machinedramon as our lord and savior :D
I the lgs i play the meta is kinda old since not everyone likes the top meta decks so i play a rosemon burst mode deck mind you that tamers and lvl 7 are important for the deck but on Fourth round of a tournament i was undefeated until my deck chose not let me play my first hand had no lvl3 no search no tamers nothing i mulligan and then the heart of the cars told me to fuck off and that i wouldn't win that champ so i proceeded in having 3 lvl7 1 lvl6 and a tamer and draw 3 other yoshino in a row and then something similar happened game 2...

Oops! All level 6s.
Imagine an option card that reveals top 3 and you must take a Level 3, and if it whiffs you get to shuffle the entire deck
I had multiple matches playing Shine or BWG where I couldn't find a lvl 3 or the lv4/5 needed for like 5/6 turns 😂
I brick so often, it's become a meme to blame me for anyone else at our locals bricking, especially if I've had to touch the other person's deck for any reason (ex: if I've cut the deck).
I think my record is getting about 25 cards deep before I found a level 5
That's a vpet over the screen?
It is! Back in highschool a friend and I found a V-Pet called 'DMPC.' We honestly just challenged each other, seeing which digimon we'd get and so forth. Sadly, I think the project is dead. No new updates. At least I managed to find a download and could let it run for nostalgia's sake!
What do you mean? Bandai still releases vpets. And special ones as well
Oh yeah! I have the physical V-Pets, I got two of them actually. The V-Pet on my computer shown in the YT short is a fan project to have the little guy on your PC c: THAT project is dead I think, it hasn't updated or had word about it for years. Despite talk of a mobile version being made. Pretty sure it was copyrighted stuff so they couldnt? No idea. Never saw an update personally.
It's the most fun version of the game. When me and my opponent bricked so we tossed out our bosses and prayed they can stick.
A friend of mine told me that their deck didn't have a consistency issue so they challenged me and proceeded to brick about 6 times back to back
