Summary
Blast Ace is the 14th main booster set in theDigimon Card Game. As a return to form, Bandai included cards featuring fan-favoriteDigimonand their partners from the original Digimon Adventure series with unique mechanics like Blast Digivolve.
Fans of the online-only light novel Digimon Seekers will love the addition of Eiji Nagasumi and the DigiPolice archetype. This set included tons of cards to support old archetypes like D-Brigade and Fish decks, but with the addition of Ace Digimon and Fenriloogamon’s game-warping effects, this set is a must-buy.
10DCD Bomb
Explosive De-Digivolving Power!
Blast Ace came jam-packed with support for the D-Brigade archetype, which is now transforming into the DigiPolice archetype. DCD Bomb is a powerful card that not only can remove Digimon up to a total cost of six memory but can also set up your future plays by stacking the top three cards of your deck.
DigiPolice is all about putting little bodies in the battle area to overwhelm your opponent. A tempo card like DCD Bomb is one of the things the archetype needed to survive in the fast meta of BT14.
9Cargodramon
All DigiPolice Units Ready To Deploy!
Most of the BT14 DigiPolice cards have the same effect of revealing cards from the top of your deck and playing a Digimon with a specific cost from among them. Cargodramon is one of the best pieces of support for the archetype because it can activate its effect when it’s played, digivolved, and even as its inheritable effect.
At only seven cost to play, hard playing Cargodramon and getting an extra Digimon out of it is never a bad play, especially when you can Digivolve into the new Brigadramon next turn.
8Commandramon
DigiPolice Dinosaurs Ready For Duty!
BT14 is the first time Bandai printed Rookie cards in a Super Rare rarity, other than starter decks, and being an SR Rookie, it is a given that Commandramon will have a strong effect tied to it, as the main searcher of the new DigiPolice variant of the deck.
Unlike other cards in the archetype, this Commandramon does not play a Digimon from the revealed cards but rather adds it to the hand. The hand advantage is important in the deck because you tend to play many bodies in one turn.
7Brigadramon
The DigiPolice’s Final Weapon
Although the previous boss Digimon for the deck, Darkdramon, was a great top-end for the archetype, the addition of the DigiPolice cards has transformed the deck’s playstyle significantly. With Brigadramon as the top end, you have access to easy removal, while constantly flooding the board at the end of your turn.
Since the deck tends to play multiple bodies at once, Brigadramon’s ability to give every D-Brigade and DigiPolice Digimon blocker is crucial to the game plan, making it easier for your other Commandramon’s on-deletion effects to trigger quickly.
6Bukamon
Bandai Gracing Us With An Amazing DigiEgg
Ever sinceBT11 Dimensional Phase, Wanyamon has been the default generic blue DigiEgg card, but with the release of Blast Ace, Bukamon enters the fray, solving many of the problems that blue decks face. With the jamming keyword, blue decks can be as aggressive and fast as they want to.
The only condition to gain jamming is that your opponent controls no Digimon with more Digivolution cards than you, which is a relatively easy task to accomplish with all of the Digivolution removal cards found in the game.
5Zudomon Ace
Ace Cards Are Here To Stay!
The Ace Digimon were introduced inStarter Decks 15 and 16as a small preview but really unleashed their power in BT14 Blast Ace. Ace Digimon come equipped with the Blast Digivolve keyword, letting you Digivolve during your opponent’s attack for free, and Zudomon Ace is one of the best ones in the set.
This powerful sea beast (and best boy) can strip two Digivolution cards out of one of your opponent’s Digimon and then return a card with no sources back to the hand. You can do all of this while your opponent attacks, so if done properly, you can stop the entire attack before it resolves.
4Patamon
T.K. Takaishi’s Best Friend
Yellow decks have always been excellent at manipulating your security stack, but Patamon takes it to another level by checking your security stack, and then Digivolve into one of the Vaccine-type cards you find in there. This can expedite your Vaccine stack in the most efficient way possible.
The effect sounds incredibly powerful, but the second part is what takes the cake. After Digivolving Patamon, if you did so through its effect, you get to recover one security card by adding a Yellow Vaccine card from your card to your stack, setting up future Digivolutions.
3Angemon
The Yellow Vaccine Angel Takes Flight
Another part of the Yellow Vaccine deck, this Secret Rare Angemon is one of the best level four Digimon that you may have. This card forces your opponent to make a tough decision when trying to remove this pesky stack.
Angemon’s deletion effect lets the owner recover one Vaccine card from the hand to the security stack. Sure, the Digimon will be gone, but that just means that they’ll have even more life to stall more or they now have more targets for Patamon’s Digivolution effect.
2Eiji Nagasumi
Mind Link Your Way To Victory
The characters from the Digimon Survive novel project make an appearance for the first time in BT14 Blast Ace. Eiji Nagasumi is the protagonist and with the help of his partner Loogamon, this code-cracker can pull off some strong combos.
Eiji has the keyword Mind Link, which allows you to slot the card as the bottom Digivolution source of one of your Dark Animal-type Digimon. After Mind Linking, Eiji can give one of your Digimon the Alliance and Blocker keywords, making your Fenriloogamon a deadly threat.
1Fenriloogamon
The X-Antibody Wolf
Fenriloogamon’s effect literally breaks the game. Not in a “this card is too broken and needs a swift hit of the ban hammer” kind of way, but it changes the base mechanics of how the game is played.
This card changes the turn-end conditions, and while Fenriloogamon is in the Battle Area, your turn will not end unless you give your opponent three or more memories. While this can hinder you a bit, if done correctly, the effect can let you extend your plays even further.
