Digimon Card Game: Tag Tamer Tournament

It’s time to team up, Tamers! Join fellow fans of the Digimon Card Game at The Missing Piece as we build a community interested in trying alternative formats for this great game, starting with this tag-team format! Here’s how it works:

1. Two teams consisting of two players each will play against each other in a best-of-1-game match. Teams will alternate which member is taking a turn when the memory gauge passes over to them. This should create a turn order like so: Player 1 (Team A) -> Player 2 (Team B) -> Player 3 (Team A) -> Player 4 (Team B) -> Play 1 (Team A) again.
2. Each player will have a 50 card deck, and a Digi-Egg Deck containing anywhere from 0 to 5 Digi-Egg cards. Both decks within a team must build their decks as if it was one deck. This means there cannot be more than 1 copy of a restricted card between the two decks, no more than 4 copies of an unrestricted card, and no more than 50 copies of cards that allow that many copies within a deck.
3. After players have finished any mulligans for their opening hands, teams will create their shared Security Stack. The Security Stack will start with 3 cards from each player for a total of 6 cards. These cards must be initially arranged so the first card is owned by one teammate, the next card is owned by the other teammate, etc.
4. Unlike in a normal game, the first turn player is allowed to draw a card. Play then continues normally from there, following the turn order demonstrated above. During their turns, players may only use activate the effects of their own cards, and are not considered to be controlling their teammate’s cards.
5. When a card of effect looks for a condition to be met by “your opponent” (for example: “If your opponent has 8 cards in their hand…”), you may choose which member of the opposing team meets the criteria. Similarly, when attacking your opponents’ Security, it is important to indicate which of the two players you are attacking. However, either teammate may activate the Blocker ability of their Digimon to block an attack, regardless of who was targeted.

5:30pm – In person sign ups begin for players that didn’t sign up for the event through our website. This is also a great time to get food or drinks from our Barista!

6:00pm – Round 1 begins! There will be three 50-minute rounds, during which, teams will compete in a best-of-1 game.

This is a free-to-play event to help the community in developing a fun new way to play this great game, which may eventually turn into a format we use for future events with prize support, so please feel free to give us your honest constructive feedback on how the format feels to play, and any ideas you might have to help improve it!
