EX-13 Cardlist Predictions + Discussion
EX-13 really has me curious on what cards it will contain with the whole "every Royal Knight will have their own deck" thing--a lot of the Royal Knights have barely any support from 2 years ago, and some literally have no stand alone support, so I wanted to take a stab at what Digimon would be in the set and some other related thoughts. (I'm aware the exact order is wrong since it's not organized using the Japanese alphabet, and also that I messed up on Magnamon lol)
Some breakdowns on my more exotic choices and thoughts;
Gurimon - Baby for Gankoomon & Jesmon
DemiVeemon - Baby for Magnamon & UlforceVeedramon
Kyaromon - Baby for Kentaurosmon and Dynasmon
Wanyamon - Baby for Leopardmon
Caprimon - Baby for LordKnightmon, Leopardmon, and Craniumon (TS Maybe?)
Gigimon - Baby for Guilmon
Salamon, Spadamon, Mikemon, Leomon, Mihiramon, Panjyamon - Leopardmon's line that's already been set up in the card game + some Leomon tribal support, which feels fitting for Leopardmon
Gottsumon, Golemon, Starmon, Volcamon, SuperStarmon - All support for Gankoomon. Gankoomon has like, barely anything (and literally nothing that isn't also stapled to Huckmon) so he gets a bit more than usual. I imagine the Starmons would also be Mutant support. Speaking of which;
Prince Mamemon & King Etemon: Royal Knight tribal support and Mamemon/Mutant or Etemon support respectively, just as it was in BT13 (and we've already got the confirmed King Etemon card).
Centalmon & Enbarrmon: These two are Craniumon support, but I also would imagine they'd have the TS trait since Craniumon gets his steed in that game.
Tamers: Tamers were really hard to decide on since very few characters are connected to any of the Royal Knights. The second black tamer is the protagonist of the manga Digimon Knuckles, who's partnered with Gankoomon (this is the card I believe the least in). Asuka is here because I may or may not have included Yggdrasil before realizing that they were already confirmed for BT27, so I scrambled and just threw in another Tamer who I think will be printed soon.
Sistermons: We didn't get a printing of the Awakened forms in the CS block, so I would bet they come back here to support Jesmon (and maybe Gankoomon!) Both would have the CS trait.
Imperialdramon Paladin Mode: Having a Secret Imperialdramon Paladin ACE card was an idea I stole from another post talking about EX-13 predictions, shoutout to whoever that was.
Dual Cards: The Duals were mostly chosen for Knights that wouldn't have A). a DNA digivolution later (ex: not Craniumon), B). need the help (ex: not Omnimon), and C). have it fit thematically or into their decks' pre-existing playstyle. This got me to Gankoomon, UlforceVeedramon, Dynasmon, and Leopardmon: Leopard Mode.
Various other thoughts I have: In line with them printing random support for old decks in recent sets, I imagine many of the cards here would be good for the Knights' deck and for another deck, which might also be how "each Knight can have their own deck". Specifically, I imagine Gankoomon would be DM Ver.4 support, the Ulforce line (including Tamer) would be WG support, Leopardmon would support Animal decks, Kentaurosmon's line (and Tamer) would be DATS support, Merciful Mode will be ADVENTURE support, King Etemon, Mamemon, and Enbarrmon's line would be TS support (with basically every other Royal Knight also being valid to be TS support), and Metal Garurumon and WarGreymon being CS support.
I'm sure some of my choices are going to be wrong (Guilmon was a shoe in just cuz I couldn't think of Purple Digimon so I'm sure I'm wrong there), and I'd love to hear what you guys think about my predictions and what predictions of your own you have!
