so the previous evolutions wanted to add more cards to the opponent's hand
this one wants you to put some back so it can attack again. it's not once per turn, so it gives me bt11 ulforce/ulforceX vibes if you got a bunch of thomas tamers out

 

[Bancho]

unfortunately, no matter how good the payoffs are, giving your opponent such extreme card advantage means your opponent can have every piece of their win condition at any time. I'm not confident in this evolution line's strategy on paper but I would love to be proven wrong. If anything, a deck that gifts your opponent free draws is the perfect amount of fun for casual table top play, especially if we get cards in the future that allow you to place your cards in play under your opponent's control for even more gift giving whacky strategies

[Burst Digivolve: By returning 1 [Thomas H. Norstein] in play to its owner's hand, digivolve for 0 from [MirageGaogamon]. At the end of the turn you Burst Digivolved, trash the top card of this Digimon]
[When Digivolving] Return 1 of your opponent's Digimon to its owner's hand. Then, for every 4 cards in your opponent's hand, gain 1 memory.
[When Attacking] If your opponent has 9 or more cards in their hand, you may select cards in your opponent's hand without looking and have your opponent place the cards at the bottom of their deck until there are 8 cards left in their hand. If you do, unsuspend this Digimon.

how effective this is really depends on how fast you can meet its conditions, right? gifting is not usually an effective strategy in 1v1, but if you can kill them before they get to use the cards you gift them, then who cares? Very interesting mechanics.

 

[D O R U g o r a m o n]

Oh, nice he he has no limit to the number of times he can unsuspend so long as theres a way to give your opponent more cards. Pretty decent payoff for giving your opponent a bunch of cards with the rest of the line.

 

[Sparrow Hawk]

Hm? New artist? And that effect is pretty unique.

Since a lot of it involves gaining memory, you're also restricting their ability to make plays. Decks like that can work - MtG had an ancient deck called Owling Mine whose whole purpose was heavily restricting what the opponent can do while giving them a full hand, for instance, and it was the best deck at at least one tournament - but the central issue is that strategies like this end up folding in their entirety to aggro strategies as they can't really stop them.

Tanimeso has been in DCG since BT1.

the main difference between this and kamigawa-era turbofog decks is they had several inexpensive ways to stop themselves from dying, often as a reaction to whatever strategy the opponent was playing. Its similar, sure, but this is clearly meant to combo off after giving the opponent a bunch of cards, and if you don't succeed at that, there's no way to postpone dying afaik.

Ah I guess. My store already ran out of BT1 and BT2 boxes in english so I managed to get few packs sadly. Sigh

Owling Mine didn't play fogs, the closest it had to those was the combination of Gigadrowse and Exhaustion. It stopped the opponent from playing things because most decks in Kami-Rav Standard at the time were slower - and helped cause the rise of Zoo, which it had no way of countering because the deck got destroyed by aggro, and faded from existence thanks to that.

You're right, my bad. I was confusing it with the RtR era, which still relied on communal draw effects but to a much lesser extent.
