V-Jump Card Game Previews- Booster EX-03 Dragons, Promo Cards, & Espimon Saikyo Jump Promo

[MarcFBR]

We have card previews from the new issue of V-Jump! Most of the focus this month is on Booster Set EX-03, although there is a small bit extra...

First up we have Agumon, Sealsdramon, & Tankdramon. The high point for many here will be an Agumon card that references the moment he met Ryo in the Wonderswan games.

Then we get some cards related to the Four Great Dragons with appearances from Goddramon and Holydramon. Plus an option card of Trial of the Four Great Dragons.


Then last up for Booster Set EX-03...

From an earlier announcement, we knew there would be 7 box toppers for EX-03.
The first six were announced as alternate art cards of cards that would be in the set, and we now know the six are: V-dramon, Wingdramon, Paildramon, Dinobeemon, Sealsdramon, & Groundramon.

The 7th they continue the teasing of the card being Imperialdramon (Black), specifically one themed after Hyper Colosseum.



And last up, something not from EX-03...

In a few weeks the new issue of Saikyo Jump is out, which has been teased to have a focus on Espimon, including a promo card, which we get a preview of.

It features anime style art of him, along with a Saikyo Jump logo.



As most sets have, EX-03 is looking to have more and more great art, and the Espimon promo card will be a nice bonus for anyone who nabs Saikyo Jump.



Thanks to digicaplayer (2) (3) for the images.

[Kitsune_NBG]

I don't like reference book v-dramon design very much but OMG this new V-dramon is the cutest thing I ever saw in my life

 

[HeroWars]

Yeay Espimon cyborg type, i thought it will be fairy type

 

[Sparrow Hawk]

Oh damn, those are amazing artworks on all Four Great Dragons!

Agumon with every color cards...

Loved those "realistic" arts on D-Brigade, duo evos of Paildramon and Dinobeemon, and evos of Dracomon getting more cards.

Epsimon's anime art is not impressive but ehh kay?

 

[Bancho]

It's good to see the D-Brigade still get more installments to utilize even after all this time!
Slayerdramon decks vs. the Trial of the Four Great Dragons are going to be super flavorful! You can now play out that part of Slayerdramon's reference book lore!


Agumon

[Inherited Effect]: [Your Turn] (Once Per Turn) When you play a Digimon with [Four Great Dragons] in its traits or place a card named [Trial of the Four Great Dragons] in the battle area, <Draw 1>.

[When Digivolving] Reveal the top 3 cards of your deck. Play 1 Digimon card with a play cost of 5 or less and with [D-Brigade] in its traits from among the revealed cards without paying its memory cost. Trash the rest.

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

I feel like the option card is a bit slow to justify its play effect just drawing one card. It would be better if it searched the top 5 for a 4 great dragons to set up for its delay effect.

 

[Santaskid]

ooh Ryo's name on an Agumon card... could we potentialyl see a Adventure verse Ryo tamer card?

 

[Tarama]

ooh Ryo's name on an Agumon card... could we potentialyl see a Adventure verse Ryo tamer card?

Yeah. We need Tamer in this set and it could be Ryo (Adventure).

 

[Santaskid]

Ryo would fit pretty well sadly looking at where the various cards fall number wise there might not be room for a tamer unless EX3-065 turns out to be a tamer card and not a digimon, OR if they decide to randomly make Ryo a Secret Rare.

 

[Tarama]

Considering the two previous EX sets have Tamers. I believe this one will do too. We got Cyberdramon already, now the Agumon.

Yeah there does only seem to be 1 potential slot which does make it a little unlikely.

Tamers are before the other options last i checked. EX3-064 is a digimon, EX3-066 is an option card... that means the only potential slot for a tamer would be 065

But did a bit of image hunting and yeah thats Definitely Ryo's bedroom. Complete with his bag from Anode/Cathode Tamer.

Though IF he's not in this set he'll def be in BT11, whatever that booster winds up being called.

Spoiler: Reference images

 

[Muur]

Espimon has a good effect. Wasn't expecting virus and that's a pretty evil looking dude in the card

Dragon trials is good after all and should be an interesting archetype. Hopefully not too good...

The other cards are good support to existing decks.

 

[Tarama]

Espimon in black makes me think that he could evolve to Surfimon as his Ultimate form. They are both cyborg type.
Well, he CAN in the card game but I think about Espimon-HoverEspimon is made for Surfimon. Or at least the later may be one of his Ultimate forms.

 

[G-SANtos]

So, judging by Espimon's teeth, it is actually a hamster, not a bear. Anyone else originally thought Espimon was a bear?

And with Ryō possibly having a game-themed card here, this might be the first time in a while they acknowledge the WonderSwan games. Maybe the Card Game will eventually reference every Digimon game ever?
With all the Adventure obsession the franchise has, I wonder if someday the Ryō games might get remakes or maybe even an anime adaptation.

 

[Rohan]

I wonder if someday the Ryō games might get remakes or maybe even an anime adaptation.

Considering we already have Ryo in Tamers with his Cyberdramon, I'm not sure if it'd be really worth it to bring Adventure!Ryo into the anime as well without making him different.

 

[Bancho]

it'd be funny if Espimon was the big bad of Ghost Game

 

[robiu013]

Guess they're really doing a yellow original Agumon line. This finally validated the UlforceVeedramon & Gallantmon starter deck promos, where Agumon & Greymon were on Yellow Memory Boost even though there were technically no yellow cards for Agumon & Greymon - only BushiAgumon & WarGreymon (+ the 2006 Agumon line).

Anyway, I guess I'll be on the lookout for the SR Goldramon, Chaosdramon & ExTyrannomon once this set finally drops.

Wait, are they claiming Paildramon & DinoBeemon will be a mix of red & purple? Kinda similar to how Veemon was a fire type and Wormmon a darkness type in the Digital Card Battle video game.

 

[Geode]

Sweet, Espimon’s first card and in anime style and loving those dragons.

 

[Eitaroutarouman]

So in addition to the shared space theme, Espimon is also a Virus type. Still wondering if that's significant. Speaking of, and this is likely me reaching, if you rearrange some letters in Espimon's name, it sounds like epsilon, the letter immediately following gamma (after delta, which has long been taken).

You can't digivolve to lv7 but what if you digivolve to a lv6 who can evolve from a lv6. would the destruction effect carry over to the new Digimon
