TyrantKabuterimon

Introduction: Rising from what seemed like an absolutely mediocre introduction in BT15, the bugs deck really gained new strength after the introduction of the BT16 support. It now has an absolute monster of a boss monster in TyrantKabuterimon (BT16-048), which somewhat carries the entire deck on its back. This deck makes me apologise to my opponents after each set. It boasts a really big toolbox of Insectoid digimon, making each build different from the one you saw before. In general, with the deck, you should be trying to setup a difficult wall to approach while progressively chipping the opponent's security and setting up a solid board.

Top End: We should start here, as it introduces us to this deck's gameplan. As mentioned before, TyrantKabuterimon (BT16-048) is our boss monster, and oh boy, it has a really strong back because this guy carries the entire deck. Our entire deck relies a lot in having immunity to digimon effects, all the while having big bodies on the field, to make an almost impenetrable wall. Despite this, it is hard to rely on a single 4-of Digimon to enforce our gameplan, and that is why I personally included HerculesKabuterimon (BT15-053). Despite not being the strongest card, paired up with some DP boosts, it may serve as a temporary wall while we do not find a Tyrant. GranKuwagamon (BT16-046) is also included here. Being an ACE means having a lower play cost, which we can exploit with Tyrant's [When Digivolving] effect. The ability to delete tamers and stun digimon is very valuable, and this card is, at the very least, a 2-of in the deck. Some people do like the use of Shivamon (BT8-057), however, I personally do not find much utility in it, as playing it with Tyrant's effect usually means the opponent is left with 5 memory. For most decks, it is not very hard to deal with a Shivamon and then deal with Tyrant using a option card. Other lvl6s are usually not worth consideration, although the upcoming Shivamon (LM-024) might be a valid choice.

Core: No matter what you do, always run all pieces of the BT16 line from lv3-lv5 as a 4 of. The searching as well as the DP-boosts are invaluable for a deck that only wants to stay big. MetallifeKuwagamon (BT16-045) in particular, is a crazy strong card that does everything one could ask, and more. Tentomon (BT15-043) should usually be a 4-of, naturally, and Izzy Izumi (BT15-085) is a core piece of the deck, which should never be lower than a 2-of. There is no other deck you would ever want to use aside from Motimon (BT15-004). This card is extremely important for the deck's gameplan. Never run 5 eggs, 4 of this card is all you need. The new MegaKabuterimon (P-140) is a great card that allows us to play without even reaching a lv6, absorbs a lot of removal, and its inheritable is relevant in some matchups. 

Techs: This is where the fun begins. In this section, I will mostly go through some techs you can use.
Terriermon (ST17-02) may be used to deploy Lopmon (ST17-03) and Izzy Izumi (BT15-085) for cheaper, given how proactive this deck wants to be, I do not really recommend it, but for Hybrid focused builds, it is a valid choice. Even without its twin, Lopmon (ST17-03) is a really strong tech that may give to anything, getting to make a good pairing with GranKuwagamon (BT16-046). Both floodgate rookies in Pomumon (BT9-047) and Terriermon (BT3-046) should be considered depending on the meta you are playing under. KoDokugumon (BT14-043) may be used as a way to suspend an opponent's digimon, if you miss doing so often. Lastly for rookies, Kunemon (BT14-042) is a good choice to increase your consistency. If you would like to see Piercing on your big boys, Kuwagamon (X Antibody) (BT9-049) and Okuwamon (P-075) should be cards of your consideration. The mini ice wall effect Okuwamon provides is also great. MegaKabuterimon (BT15-049), is a bit of an awkward card to use due to being an ACE, however, with the great ammounts of rush decks in the meta, its ability to redirect is greatly valued. In order to not suffer as much for option cards as one usually would, it is important to make sure Tyrant has as little cost as possible. For this, there are a lot of things you can tech. Both Kabuterimon (BT15-047) and Stingmon (BT3-050) are good options to gain some memory refund, although I personally favor Kabuterimon thanks to its [All Turns] effect. RhinoKabuterimon (BT7-051) is an EXTREMELY versatile card that not only makes our Tyrants stupid cheap, but also can have some [End of Turn] evolutions thanks to our egg choice. Digisorption users such as Blossomon (BT3-054) and Argomon (BT2-047), or even Hidden Potential Discovered! (BT3-103) are important cards to consider as they allow us to climb the line faster and, in situations we would not be capable of attacking but need some defense, they allow us to set up a suspended lvl6 on the board proactively, which may be really valuable.
