Security Checkpoint

Hey! The BT9 format marches forward. We look ahead at the new starter decks, question how to make a podcast, and make some mistakes along the way.

Some stuff we need you to know in order to enjoy the first few minutes of the episode:
All That She Wants is a song by Ace of Base okay it was really popular in the 90s okay;
Toxic is a song by Britney Spears that was released in 2003, not the 90's;
and also JB meant to say 'Omnimon Turbo' not 'Alphamon Turbo'

other notes: don't try to re-create lightning in a bottle, it's MCM (multi check madness) not OTK, and make sure to have a good day okay we love you very much

 We recorded in California, where the laws are different. But what we didn't expect is that the Digimon are different too! This episode we recap our runs at a store championship, go over the new ban lists and engage with the discourse surrounding it, and then look at some cards from waaaaay too far ahead for us to reasonably talk about. We're having fun. It's Nolan's birthday.

[THE DAY AFTER we recorded this, some cards we said didn't exist became a reality. We're used to being immediately proven wrong at this point.]

other notes: the Donkey Konga, the giggly stuff, and a bit of theorycrafting

GenCon is over, we didn't do great. But maybe the real nationals invite is the friends we made along the way? Probably not. But we did bring along one of those friends we made, so Dan Vang is here to talk with us about what we saw at GenCon!

other notes: a terrible trip home, a heated rivalry, and WHY DOES EVERYONE LOVE DIGI-SIZE???

OKAY FULLY this episode starts out with a few uninterrupted minutes about the sexual activity of flies and that's kind of a lot. If you might not be cool with that you should jump to 3:20, it does not come up again.

This episode we've got a lot to talk about: JetSilphymon and Tommy are restricted to 1, BT9 introduces a menagerie of consistent OTK decks, and there's so many terrible decks we want to play. Also we're sorry we didn't make a video. Also we're excited to go to GenCon!

The newest set is coming out soon, so it's a season of retrospection here at Security Checkpoint Studios. Specifically the things we got really wrong about the EX2 meta. And then we talk about what cards we want to play in our BT9 Pre-Release events! Does anyone actually read these? Are my secrets safe here? I'm not really sure what the difference between Gabumon and Psychemon is.

EX2 is here and we are.... largely underwhelmed by the new pieces it's introduced. So we'll talk about other card games instead! Specifically what we've learned from other card games that can help or hinder your growth as a Digimon player.  And then Nolan gets really mad about Pokemon's prize system.

other notes: a healthy relationship with our audience, Texas Hold'em TCG, and hope for Leomon????

We gave up on trying to make this podcast a family friendly experience (as evidenced by the new explicit tag) so get ready for a rowdy time.

BT8 is basically done, we've been mostly unsuccessful at making anything work, and dillo is meta now. I don't know, YOU try to make sense of this crazy world we live in!

other notes: submissive deck decisions, a really sick kick flip, and who really is the little yugi?

Hey! We gotta come clean. We don't really know anything about this game anymore. This episode we re-establish what we do on the podcast, look at some tournament results, and we struggle to grasp the new ways we have to think about the game with regards to deck building and in-game decision making. We're trying!

other notes: lunch eating ethos, digimon clothes, and some bold predictions for next episode

How much memory can you give an opponent these days? Are you allowed to spend 7 memory to remove a level 4 from the board? Can we play blockers again? We try to answer these questions and more as we work out what DNA digivolving does to our memory economy. Then, we welcome our first guest Anticss on for an early look at how we think the BT8 metagame will shape out.

other notes: Nolan fumbles the podcast name again, the cat is let out of the bag, and MetaZoo still exists!
