Third version of the deck and the one I took to locals with the next match-ups:
DexDoru (black-base) 0 - 2
(Mega)Gargomon 1 - 1
Gallantmon 2 - 1
Chessmon Rush 1 - 2
Overall conclusion: So much bricking. Deck is heavily reliant on either: getting a Gatomon up with in raising and a Lynxmon (BT16-009) in hand for turn 2 for popping some rookie or have a reliable Raid target OR Salamon (BT16-030) in raising with Meiko Mochizuki (BT9-091) on play trashing a good (2 evo cost) Gatomon for next turn (for best results Gatomon (BT16-031) )
If nothing of these two setups can be achieved, then it will be a grindy slow deatch for the deck, as it is very hard for coming back and setup some low-DP digimon on board without them being deleted on opp's turn.
Next up: Spiking on agression seems to be the move. Valkyrimon (BT16-013) and Apollomon (EX5-014) are both fantastic top ends to have some punch, but even getting to Jogress is hard in a lot of situations. It has some merit to keep at least 1-1 of the options from Revelation of Light (BT15-092) (best "fair" card of the game) and Chaos Degradation (ST10-14) (my beloved), but they need to go from 3 and 2 respectively to probably 0 or to keep one from one of them to just have "an out". On the other hand, I'll up Crimson Blaze (BT8-097) to at least 2, fantastic card still [update: i didn't even have it in!].
To implement some new cards, Fire Rocket (BT8-095) seems to be the best way, up some Gato numbers and put in Beastly Storm Dance of Affection (BT16-091) too.
Next potential upgrades would be either Hawkmon (P-119) or the other end of turn DNA Salamon (ST10-02)
[Old] Ideas for streamlining instead of gatomonmaxxing:
- having more searcher/free evo in Kudamon (BT13-034) / Patamon (BT14-033)
after some consideration this above would result in a completely different deck
- maybe memory boosts would work better for the assembling of pieces than trainings
hardly ever used trainings either casting/or using the delay part
-new idea: want to try out Beastly Storm Dance of Affection (BT16-091)
-and of course Mirei Mikagura (EX6-074) would be probably awesome for the deck if it wouldn't be 30 Euro for waifu tax
