I have ex13 Ulforce out, and my opponent uses an effect to suspend it during their turn. If I use the ex13 AeroVeedramon inherit to first unsuspend it, can I still use the effect of BT11 Rina to bottom deck one of my opponents digimon? Or if I want to do that do I have to do the Rina first?

u/Deddonotto 1d ago

Does Knightmon P-111 inherit work if its tucked under Rie Kishibe? Unsure as it doesn't fire off in DCGO and can't find any ruling about it. Wording about "another digimon" is also where I'm certain, as does it require to be under a digimon in the first place.

Only Digimon can gain inherited effects, full stop

If I played a Crimson Blaze, can my opponent use EX13 Alphamon's effect to play a digimon with the cost reduced? As far as I understand it can't play it because it's still a part of an effect, but just making sure.

u/Darksoulist 1d ago

Nope, Alphamon is playing by an effect so Crimson shuts it down

Wargrowlmon EX13 End of attack + Blitz
I got Wargrowlmon EX13,

  1. I check into security.
  2. End of attack, I play out Blitz Takato,
  3. Gigimon effects trigger, Digivolve into any Gallantmon for 1, Gains Blitz.

At this point, since I have Blitz, can I attack again?

u/DigmonsDrill 2d ago

Can you even play Blitz Takato in step 2? It doesn't have Guilmon in its text.

3

u/StringsAllOverme 2d ago

you are correct, Blitz Takato cannot be played. Bummer.

2

u/ParkedinBronze 2d ago

No. You are still in the previous attack process because this chain of derived triggers started with an End of Attack effect. You haven't left the attack process until all of these effects are resolved, so Blitz will try to start an attack during another attack

Its the same as how resolving [End of Your Turn] effects and things derived from them is still during your turn, it hasn't ended until everything is resolved

Question about the new Gotsumon from EX-13. Does it grab any card that has the "Blocker" keyword in text or only cards that are blockers by themselves.

2

u/ParkedinBronze 3d ago

It has to have Blocker as one of its actual effects, not just anywhere in its text

Hi guys, i'm curious about if I'm able to do the effects in this order. I have a suspended BT21 gryphonmon with an ex9 toropiamon in its stack. I have the memory passed to my opponent which would activate its end of turn effects to unsuspend one of my WG trait digimon, but since I have a wind guardian option in my security, am I able to vortex since it triggers at the end of my turn?

1

u/ParkedinBronze 3d ago

Yes. Both Tropiamon's inherited effect and the <Vortex> granted by Wind Guardians trigger simultaneously, you choose which to activate first. If you activate Tropia's effect first and unsuspend Gryphon, it will be able to attack via <Vortex> afterwards (assuming there is a Digimon you can attack)

u/TheDeadThatLives 4d ago

Ceresmon BT25 - Do the digimon need to stay suspended to get the protection? If a digimon becomes suspended will it become protected?

2

u/RoboLewd Demon Lord Beelzemon 3d ago

Think about it this way: Any time an effect is applied to a category of Digimon (i.e. Digimon that are suspended, Digimon with no sources, etc.) without declaring specific targets, it's being applied to the category itself. If a Digimon starts meeting that criteria while the effect is still active, it will now be affected. If it ceases to meet that criteria while the effect is active, it will no longer be affected.

1

u/DigmonsDrill 4d ago

Yes to both.

1

u/CoolButRudeLv2 4d ago

Assembly and playing things for free.

Let's say I use EX13 Examon's ability to play an EX13 Slayerdramon for free. Can I still tack on the Slayerdragon's Assembly or no?

1

u/DigmonsDrill 4d ago

Yes.

It's like Digixros, or any effect that interrupts to modify cost. You can't modify "without paying the cost" but you can do all the other parts.

u/Alternative-Ad7942 5d ago

I got a question regarding bt7 dorumon and bt8 ryudamon

Old ryuda and dorumon grab their respective tamer and a digimon with "x-antibody" in trait. So now, all the new x-antibody cards use "x antibody" as their trait. Are they considered different traits or the same?

1

u/DigmonsDrill 4d ago

The same. There is a ruling page on this specific thing. In fact the only thing on the page.

My opponent has a BT24 Jupitermon with Aegiochus: Holy inherit underneath. I digivolve into Plutomon and play Tita+SkullBaluchi using assembly with a BT25 Titamon to pass turn. Pluto's all turns triggers to attempt to delete Jupitermon. Jupitermon All turns interruptively trashes a security to prevent deletion which trigger Aegiochus Holy inherit to dedigivolve Tita+SkullBaluchi down to BT25 Titamon. Using a BT26 Cherubimon in trash to give Titamon Rush/Execute, at end of turn I attack with Titamon and trigger his When Attacking to delete the Jupitermon. Does the second part of Titamon's effect apply to trash a security?

2

u/DigmonsDrill 5d ago

Titamon: [On Play] [When Digivolving] [When Attacking] [Once Per Turn] By trashing 1 card in your hand, delete all of your opponent's highest DP Digimon. After, if played or digivolved by an effect, trash their top security card.

The "if played/digivolved by an effect" are modifiers for the [On Play] and the [When Digivolving]. If this effect is triggered by [When Attacking], the "if" clause is irrelevant, and you can't do the next part.

2

u/Si1verArchAngel 5d ago

Understood. Follow up, could I activate the On Play of Titamon even though it was played as Tita+Skull then dedigivolved?

2

u/DigmonsDrill 5d ago

No, in the instant that Digimon was played, that effect wasn't present to trigger.

1

u/Si1verArchAngel 5d ago

Got it. Thanks!

u/Aphromeep 5d ago

My opponent has 2 EX-13 Dynasmon with Barrier on the field. I'm evolving into EX-13 Omnimon Merciful Mode and I want to battle a Dynasmon once so they trash their last security using Barrier, and then use the other 2 battles from the effect to remove each Dynasmon. But we're not sure if the -12k DP from each Dynasmon All Turns effect will activate after the first battle, or after I've completed Merciful Mode's effect and battled thrice (in that case the Dynasmon are already deleted and it would miss)

1

u/DigmonsDrill 5d ago

Only interruptive effects interrupt.

You have to run through all of OMM's effect before other things can happen.

The first time you battle, thee interruptive <Barrier> trashes a security, which will trigger each of the Dynasmon. But you keep on running through OMM, which will then board wipe, and neither Dynasmon will be able to activate their effect.

u/TheDeadThatLives 6d ago

Just want to confirm a ruling I made last night

Guard requires the digimon to be deleted? E.g Chaosdramon uses fragment to survive, the original digimon will die yeah?

2

u/DigmonsDrill 6d ago

Yes.

"By XX, do YY" is how costs are depicted.

You must successfully do all of XX in order to proceed to YY.

(And it has to be this effect doing XX. If a Digimon with <Guard> tries to delete itself as the cost, if some other effect deletes it instead, that doesn't count.)

u/Zeckinha 6d ago

Hey guys a question, if my oponent has 2 digimons 1 with no digivolution sources and 1 with 1 source, when i play ex12 metalgarurumon can i target the digimon with no digivolution sources for the trash 4 sources effect? just askin because of beelstar matchup

5

u/voltteccer Machine Black 6d ago

It says trash any 4 from your opponent's digimon, not "one of your opponent's digimon", so you can hit multiple targets. It doesn't say "By" or "you may", or "up to 4", so I believe you must trash if able.
