Change Log
17/09/24: Very WIP currently, pretty much just two ST18s combined. Not playtested. I'll come back to it.
20/09/24: Playtested with myself against two decks and made some changes with some EX7 cards, still not playtested in a real game.
22/09/24: Playtested with a friend, pretty happy with the deck but would love to improve on it.
23/09/24: Drop anemoi, +1 Digimon Liberator, LVL 3: run 4 of each Ptero + 4 Palmon (sub for P Pteromon). LVL 5s: 2 starter grandgale, 4 ex7 grandgale, 2 lilymon. Lvl4s 4 ex7 Gale, 4 starter gale, 2 Bt14 togemon (Currently missing: 3x BT14 Palmon OR 3x P Pteromon)
30/09/24: 3x BT14 Palmon instead of Muchomon, Drop 1 ST Shoto and 1 Zeph for 1 Ex7 Shoto and 1 Zeph.
7/10/24: Drop 1x ST Zeph for Paladin Ace
16/10/24: This deck is just now Digimon I really like :) Dropped 1x Togemon for Aquilamon, swapped out Shotos for Promo Shoto, swapped out some level 3s for two more Promo Pteros
31/10/2024: -1 Agility Training to fit in +1 AncientKazemon, -1 EX7 Gale and -1 BT14 Togemon for +2 Promo Gale, and apparently forgot to update that I did -1 ST GrandGale for +1 Rapid
13/11/2024: -1 ST GrandGale for +1 ST Rapid
20/11/2024: -1 EX7 Zephaga for +1 ST MegaGargo. What even are birds at this point.
19/01/2025: Updated with Ex08 and BT20 stuff, can't test until 2.5 releases next month, but it's good to be prepared.
25/02/2025: -1 mem boost +1 zeph ace becase it's too good to just be a two of
16/03/2025: -1 Lily Ace +1 BT2 Argo
24/03/2025: -1 BT20 Shoto +1 Omni X (Blame Sean)
31/03/2025: -1 Lily Ace (RIP I miss you already), -1 Ex2 Argo (Kinda want to find a spot for it still here), +2 BT20 Crowmon (Second Promo Gale can evolve into it and it doesn't miss in my Ptero search...so...)
5/04/2025: -2 Promo Ptero +2 floodgate Pomu
26/04/2024: -1 ex7 ptero +1 st grandgale. I keep bricking for level fives. Either st grandgale or bt2 Argo. Went for grandgale so I can Evo from new promo gale and the inheritable is pretty good under Zeph ace.
28/04/2025: -1 omni X, +1 valdur arm
13/05/2025: -2 Crow +2 st grandgale (I'm sorry Sean for initially doubting your endless wisdom). -1 st fluffy for +1 ex7 fluffy
21/05/2025: -1 ST Fluffy. Finally down to four of the egg!
27/05/2025: -1 BT20 Shoto, -1 ST Grandgale, +2 Tropical Venom
30/05/2025: -1 ST Gale, +1 Tropical Venom (goodness, this card is absurd here)
10/06/2025: -1 ST Gale, -1 ST GrandGale, +2 Green Memory Boost. Thinking about -1 Tropical Venom +1 Agility Training
15/05/2025: -2 Pomu +1 Agility Training, +1 floodgate Terrier
27/06/2025: -4 ex7 Fluffy, +4 bt6 Pina (for testing, need card draw, either this or ex2 Gummy), -1 promo ptero, +1 ex7 Ptero (I rarely hardplay a level 3 unless it's a searcher, if I want to hard play to suspend I'd rather do so with v2 promo gale)
28/06/2025: -4 bt6 pina, +4 ex4 koko, -1 floodgate Terrier, +1 Bt16 Ukko (testing more things)
30/06/2025: -1 Tropical Venom -1 Training, +1 Ukko, +1 Pallie Ace, -1 Koko, +1 Fluffy (Came second at Games Portal Monday night locals with these changes but not a huge fan of the Palli Ace, Koko is good for the extra draw power though!)
2/07/2025: -1 Paladin Mode Ace, +1 Training, -2 Fluffymon, +1 Koko, +1 Gummy (Came second at Grand J Games Wednesday night locals with these changes)
5/07/2025: -1 Agility Training, +1 Tropical Venom (Came second at Grand J Games' Evo Cup) Thinking about taking out Valdur arm for another agility training as it hasn't been too helpful for a bit.
22/07/2025: After coming 7th at Sydney Regionals over the weekend, the Valdur arm is absolutely staying for now.
16/08/2025: After a bit of a break from Zephaga, I'm back trying things for a bit; -1 Tropical Venom, +1 Agility Training, -1 ST Grandgale (I do not like you), +1 St Rapid (I love you)
25/08/2025 -1 Boost (I'd say it's not you, it's me, but it's the fact I keep bot decking my shotos), -1 Training (tentatively, I like training at 4 tbh), +1 ex7 Gale (trying it out to be more memory efficient, might take it out for the training again though), +1 Tropical Venom (welcome back, let's get you restricted, yes?)
5/09/2025: Did a few undocumented changes, mainly playing around with Ex7 gale and no memory boosts, but ex7 gale doesn't help me too much, so back to 0 Gale and 2 green memory boosts (-1 Ex7 gale, +1 mem boost from last change). Came first at Ozzies (3-0) going 2-0 every round on the 4th of September.
