Archnemon & Mummymon Previews for Booster Set 3

[MarcFBR]

New card previews from the Digimon Card Game!

The Digimon Card Game Twitter has updated with more card previews from Booster Set 3 Union Impact. This time it's Archnemon and Mummymon.

As always, to repeat myself, great art. Archnemon is doing her spider thread attack, with a very maniacal and crazy look on her face, while Mummymon is aiming with his gun, Obelisk, in a fun actiony pose (almost feels like the Gundam action pose from a different angle.) Most interesting, while you can't see them in each other's cards, it appears they are in roughly the same area, perhaps fighting the same enemy (a sly 02 reference?)



Digimon Card Game Booster Set 3 Union Impact is scheduled to release on October 30th.

BelialVamdemon & Dinobeemon from Fun Digica
Angemon & Valkyrimon from Fun Digica

And the callbacks to 02 continue in Union Impact with two of the major antagonists, both of whom give support to BelialVamdemon. Noice.

I'm kind of saddened the pair never really showed up in again beyond a cameo in Frontier I think? Mummymon in particular I always really liked his design.

Well, Mummymon did also appear in the X-Evolution film. Archnemon seems to be the less common of the two, but at least she's in the upcoming Pendulum Z along with Mummymon.

Mummymon:
[When Attacking] you may pay 3 Memory to play 1 "MaloMyotismon" from your Trash without paying its cost. Then, delete this Digimon.

Arukenimon:
[When Attacking] you may pay 3 Memory to play 1 "MaloMyotismon" from your hand without paying its cost. Then, delete this Digimon.


oh so these abilities are uh, not the happiest of references :s

The question I have is the "when attacking" bit, does the deletion of either Archnemon or Mummymon negate the attack they launched? How does the order of operations go exactly?

Nice to get some more purple reveals and 02 references at that.

The question I have is the "when attacking" bit, does the deletion of either Archnemon or Mummymon negate the attack they launched? How does the order of operations go exactly?

So the order goes like this:

• You declare an attack with one of your Digimon, let's say Mummymon in this case. Rest the Digimon, and choose a target (an opponent's Digimon or the player).
• When Attacking effects activate, so in this case, Mummymon's effect to pay 3 memory to bring MaloMyotismon out from the trash can be activated. You can choose not to, but you can't change your mind after this point so if Mummymon is destroyed through battle after this timing, you can't bring out MaloMyotismon.
• Your opponent's Digimon's effects with "When Attacked" timing activates, so things like Blocker or Rosemon's effect.
• Your attack resolves, any effects that happen after battle activate now, i.e. "When Destroyed" timing would work now.

So in Mummymon's case, if you were to pay the 3 memory during the attack, Mummymon will destroy itself after playing MaloMyotismon. This means the attack does not resolve, and MaloMyotismon's effect to gain a memory for every other Digimon destroyed also activates, meaning it was played for a net 2 cost effectively. Still, you won't be able to attack with the newly played MaloMyotismon.

Oh damn why BelialVamdemon! Not even those poor pair are safe from getting new cards with nice artworks with THOSE DANGEROUS effects.

So Pharaohmon will get a new card?

Arachnemon is a Jogress, huh.

 

[TMS]

Not really a Jogress so much as something that makes sense evolving from both dark (typically Purple) and insect (typically Green) Digimon.

 

[DedicatedGazi]

I'm trying really hard to like purple cards. But why they got to hit people right in the feels. First Wizardmon, now this. Can't we get a nice Boltmon just minding his business or something?

 

[Sparrow Hawk]

Did you not include Leomon and Wormmon's effects?

EDITED: Oh my bad. You said you liking purple cards. So just forget what I said lol

 

[Mattman324]

Yeah, but all the past cards with two evolution colors were Jogresses.

It's kinda weird, her original card had three evo options and only one was a Jogress - and of Digimon not in this pack. And the only other past Jogress with her used Wendimon, who I don't believe is in this either because we have Cherubimon Virtue.

 

[Nightwing]

There are a few Digimon that evolve from multiple colours without being Jogresses actually, but they’re very heavily related to some so it wasn’t something I would’ve looked at as precedent necessarily.

Durandamon and BlitzGreymon in red and Bryweludramon and CresGarurumon in black, they all evolve from red and black. Arukenimon is unique in that it’s a Level 5 that does so without being a Jogress. I imagine we’ll see more with the next set and on, though.
