Mario from a different time period here. This was filmed a few weeks prior to uploading. There might be some inaccurate information because times have changed, but the bulk of the content is the same. Enjoy :)
Solid vid. However, my strat for unbricking is also quite good. I simply sob a lot until my opponent gets uncomfortable.
Gg well played
Love this series, I think it's something that's sorely missing from Digimon content (would be easier with a better method of explanation than TTS or overhead views of gameplay). I've seen so many players play too conservatively in situations where there is actually nothing their opponent can do to punish them (like promoting grandis stack early to get extra draws etc). Another idea that could be interesting is a "what's the play" where you present the viewer with a puzzle and see if they can figure out the correct play for the situation. I've seen them in other card games and they are a great learning tool
I like this series and would love to see more of it!
As a somewhat new player by going on 4 months, this sort of thing is helpful. I'm at that point where I'm not new enough to ask questions on a basic level, but senior enough to have pride that I should know some basics and won't ask aha Keep it going!
A very helpful video! Thank you Mario. Looking forward to the next episode in this series. ❤🎉
That sec control brick was insane
Great topic to consider when practicing to get better. One thing I look at when I’m deck building is how many different good first turn plays show up in hand randomizer. In my opinion most of these are playable hands missing a rookie. The worst bricks are lots of lvl 6 in hand and missing all lvl 4s or 5s to make a single lvl 6 but doesn’t happen often. This topic kinda thrives off knowing matchups to play the cards with the highest odds to win.
Stuff like this makes me wonder if the playerbase even knows what bricking is - all those openers looked playable to me, and I have opponents constantly try to console me for "bad luck with bricks", when I'm just a basic Red/Green player lol.
I wonder how much of the way we talk about the concept is because of the way we build decks - one of my favourite decks is Red base Yellow WarGreymon, a high roll deck with both amazing aggro and control, decent consistency, and a complete inability to play through bricked hands because of how the deck is fundamentally built - you need a clean run of everything to pop off, and if you see your top end instead of your low end searchers or are missing a level and never draw into it there is very little you can play that will win you the game. It isn't all doom and gloom, hard slam RizeGreymon T1 has been a winning move for me before, and knowing the match up helps immensely, but the low floor is the price I pay for the high ceiling and it feels so weird in tournaments when my opponents are the one excusing me saying "it's okay, you just bricked is all".
Obviously as said you DO get those completely unplayable hands sometimes, but I wonder how much is people relying too much on getting like a five card combo over three turns, like that Melga hand for example waiting for the promo WereGarurumon or an X Antibody to pop off instead of making an immediate (if conservative) play.
Bro, thanks for the video. I bricked BAD with MetalGaru in my last locals. Hopefully I'll do better the next time I go
Hey Mario! Apologies in advance if this comment is long…
I’ve been playing Digimon since BT8 and I’ve learned a lot since then, but videos like this definitely do help to reassure players like me or even correct false ideas one may have had.
I love the idea of you making these type of teaching/coaching videos and would happily watch more. Maybe the next one can be about deck building and what advance strategies one might use to make something work.
Keep it up, much love 💜
Great video
very good advice on brick hands. Keep up the great work I won my first store event learning from your videos thanks for your hard work
This is a great video definitely need more like this keep up the great work Mario ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Actually the best play you could do with "plants" is play ajatala right away. Hardly is your opponent going to be able to respond to it turn 1. Yes, lots of memory to set up for them, but next turn you can just spam the red vegi and then go into lord bloom so that if you even started at 2 memory you could keep going. Also, to play safer in sec con, hatch an egg and play the tamer with the opposed to it, that way, no matter what, you can play your options on turn 2. Do not play kairi cause she is the memory tamer, play what let's you stay on the game, which, btw, that hand was not a brick being seccon
I do appreciate the lengthy response. On sec con I agree that’s one thing you can do. I did say some people would think that hand is good. And hard playing the Ajatar I acknowledged as a meme, but depending on the deck, it’s an okay play. The important part is understanding what you’re playing against
I think if you're in the dark, Mimi is best. But if you know your opponent and they don't have an easy answer to a turn 1 Ajatar, it can be the right play. Turn 1 can even be the best time to give your opponent a bunch of memory, assuming you will be able to establish a good enough board to overcome it. Another thing to consider is that it's your only Ajatar in hand, so if you don't know your opponent's deck it could be risky vs the Mirror or Yellow Hybrid/SecCon. Definitely gets complicated
@@latitude990 I would think riskiest in that meta would be mirror exclusively. Like, even if sec con wanted, since the options are dual color, the y`ll probably have to use even more memory to get rid of Ajataramon so unless you start bricking the more than a concrete house for the next several turns, you could be in the clear EVEN if Ajatar where to be removed so fast
Excellent video Mario, more content like this is a great idea. Love to see it. I got the right game play in the first two, but it didn't occur to me, the pass turn thing in the last deck. Great play. Thanks.
Unbricking is a fun word
I enjoyed how you introduced the concept and gave examples to help players see potential hands they could draw. I'm also very happy that you chose this title to represent your series too! 😊
Hey look, my thoughts on what to do were the same as yours......except the sec con one where my choice was open memory tamer.
this is great advice but my problem is not bricking at the begining is bricking mid game when they do something that deletes your whole board and all you keep getting is stuff that cost more than 10 to play.
This was awesome, more please!
Love this! Can you make a video about how to build decks that brick less often or have better plays when you do brick?
LoL I like you used melga because that's the deck I don't understand how it keeps topping
I know this video already 1 yrs past ,i got many digimon card but the problem is i dont understand how to play or where do i start to summon digimon card..i was searching on youtube still i didn't find video tutorial how play digimon tcg, even i found the video tutorial still i dont understand cause it didn't tell how to use the card or which the card do start..and its so confusing, i love digimon and join many digimon tournament vpet but for tcg its hard to find video that really help and understanding..btw great video even i dont know what i watching 😅
This was a very insightful video and as a player who has been playing for 4 months it was a lot of help.
GOATED VIDEO ONCE AGAIN 👏
Great content,but i just felt that the Melga and Bloomlord examples I do not consider brick lol,maybe I’m just too used to it.
The worst brick these days is having 5 lv6 in BWargreyX deck and opponents is red hybrid lol died in 2 turn😂
Usually in that case i would just pass and pray for the best
Love this series. I've played cards for over 20 years, all different games, and I think this is very well done. I like playing a memory tamer over passing for lots of reasons. If you just pass them to 3, they can play a memory tamer for 4, they put you to 1 and you have no board, it's just awful.
You want to blame the game? Then yeah you bricked. You want to get better? Look up "Upstart Goblin". The marginal consistency will make your deck better than a copy of that deck with out upstart. These little advantages can compound, and you'll pick up free wins just because your deck is more consistent than someone else's. If you keep bricking, then tweak your deck to be more consistent🍔
this is great for all the new players.... and for players like me who need to git gud
Yo, where did you get that mat? I need it in my life! BTW great video as always.
I won it when I won Hoang Zeros charity tournament a while back :)
@@mariosgamingworld9311 That is fantastic. Gotta love the Sistermons. BTW this is much needed content for the community so everyone can step up their game. Again, best Digimon content creator out there. Tier 1!
Seven card opening hands are almost always brick free. I used to play that way at home but then I realized I wasn't learning how to play a bad hand.
6:53
He sais you can digivolve the garururmon into the garurumon Xantibody for free, the first garumon doesnt meet the requierments so if cards are the same level can you just place them digivolve them? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I just joined the game.
What happens when you brick against gallantmon where they literally snipe your board every turn post turn 2?

Lol I had a brick with Wargrey X Deck and only Lv5 and 6 on my hand. You can still wombo Combo with that actually xD Metalgrey X Effect gets triggered by having a regular metalgrey under it so...
And I had to do this twice in the same match, the brick was that bad xD But still one this one of 3 because The rookies came after the second Metalgrey hard drop.
So yeah unless you don't have just lv6 and 7 on your hand...
I’d like to see more videos like this, I’m already subscribed. I’d like a video on weird interactions with cards and how to overcome them
I’m bricked up by watching this. Thanks Mario 🙃
You might want to see a doctor
My friends and I noticed while playing that we don't shuffle our decks throughout the game like in other card games which we feel like might be the reason for some unconsistency 🤷🏽♂️
Big fan
Recently I experienced what you may call a "brick". I had every piece for Jesmon except my LV6s and my opp surpassed me at the end. What do you do when you still lack your pieces? Promoting anyway and committing to possibly lose your stack or try to dig as much as you can to find that last card you need?
What was the last event that was not a locals that you topped ?
GenCon. Came 2nd and 1st out of 3 events :) What about you?
Tbh, bricking isn't my biggest concern. What I'd like to get a better handle on is ratios.
Something I plan on covering :)
@@mariosgamingworld9311 sweet! Can't wait, and thank you!
5:47 the best play is clearly to go 2nd and draw a rookie Kappa
So youve won a championship? Ok youve got some skill, your not intreasted in learning how to be better? Well I say that lack of willingness is what makes you a bad player. These sorts of video are a welcome change of pace and even as an experienced player I believe you should always aim to learn and grow your ability, thanks Mario!
Not a bad video. Ya gotta love hearing people complain about “brick hands” when they lose instead of playing it out. Mulligans take away that skill factor of playing with the hand you’re dealt.
You can still draw another brick hand. The cards he drew with MelGa were pretty bad, so i wouldn't say it takes away the skill factor. Deciding wether or not to mulligan is in my opinion also a skill that comes with playing brick hands.
For testing you can just keep every hand you get, because you can't change the outcome of the mulligan and your starting 5 might just be what you got after you did it.
@@takatran475 bro there’s no skill in mulligans. Oh my hand isn’t what I want it to be, boom to the bottom of the deck you go. All it does is make bad decks decent and good consistent meta decks better. This game wasn’t meant for mulligans but since Q.Q players cried for them Bandai bent a knee to that portion of the player base.
Mulligans are basically just giving the opponent a free punch before the match begins. They don't change your deck construction, because if you fail at that then you will still lose. There's already enough RNG in security, why force one player to start the game with 1 hand tied behind their back? Giving both players equal starting "luck" actually makes games more skill intensive on average, instead of forcing players into 1 decent play or 3 bad plays (compared to say 1 decent play 2 good plays 1 best play).
@@latitude990 that’s not even true lol 😂 the people who win these ultimate cups have gone on record stating that they tailored their decks to preform better in these events bc the mulligan rule was in place. This is why you see them playing weird variants of cards like 1 of’s or 2 of’s bc with mulligans it doesn’t matter.
@@VindeZwarts You understand the fact that your deck has to be random right? So it should be easy to understand that those tech cards have an equal chance of showing up during all parts of the game (opening hand, post-mulligan, security, first 5 cards you draw that game, etc). It's similar to when people exclude cards from their deck because "it gets bottom decked by my searcher." That doesn't matter. Either the card was going to be one of your draws, or it wasn't. You have no way of knowing if your searcher is getting you closer to the card you want to draw, or if it's going to get hit by your searcher and bottom decked.
The audio at the beginning is way too loud
I like this handsome Mario.
now I'll become the King of Games
Ok so what do I do with Minervamon, 3 Revive from Darkness, 1 Jack raid and the eyesmon: scatter mode with jamming with me having 4 memory?
Drop the scatter mode and go from there. It doesn’t have jamming as often as you think :)
Never Joined a Tournament.
I like this but it feels very 101 when I'd rather see a 201 or 301 😬
In any card game there is luck and less than ideal hands. But coming from Magic the Gathering the amount of luck in top decking or opening hands is way better in Digimon.
I bricked with melga but won anyways hard played METALGARURU ex1
Following turn some how it lived
Melga x into xanti Omni x
I’ve won tournament rounds by hard playing Blackwargreymons before. Bricking sucks but nothing is impossible.
