It has been almost 2 years since I played this game, I got curious and started playing in the simulator using Metal Empire because I liked Machinedramon.

I don’t know where ME is in the meta, I have built some knowledge on how to play it against the decks I usually face but my god how I have to fight for wins against certain decks.

Like I don’t know how is Ex12 Susanomon balanced, they play 1 wipe your board and do some checks, so you have to be aware to not overplay a board so you can rebuild next turn. And then they just play a second one! A third one! I am pretty sure I won a game where they played even the 4th. Wtf is this card.

And what about the option card that digivolving, wtf is that it removes 2 digimons from the board and puts an immune one that renews it on attack. I think I won games where I had to kill 4 of those (need Metalgarurumon to stun and then a follow up).

I think Shinegreymon is not that strong but there a play cost 5 Marcus that is absolutely insane, it killed me in two turns (maybe high roll). The other Marcus are trash compared to it.

Overall I actually liked how my ME deck faces these challenges by being an obnoxious wall that wears you down, I won a lot of games by decking people out just defending myself. The only exception is Susanomon, that shit is ridicoulous, that shit is way too cheap. Maybe if I can get a Metalgaruru to stun and delay the assembly 9 perhaps. But interesting meta, at least on the eyes of a ME user

I think the greatest flaw of this game that prevents this game from being anything bigger than an ok game is the fact that 99 per cent of the digimon on this game are generic battle wise.

You can get excited because you just got a Wargeymon but there is nothing really special about it that differentiates it from other generic hitters, Gaia Force just do some standard fire damage. Even attributed do not matter since Reversal is a thing, so effectively there is 0 difference between Wargreymon and any other physical hitter.

Basically I think most digimon should have at least a cool individual gimmick like Gankoomon and I don’t think that’s really a big ask, you already have the models and animations you just need to be creative and it should be easy to implement I believe.

Cyber Sleuth had these special powers I don’t know why they did not enhance this feature and made it cooler instead of ditching it.
