With RagnaLoardmon fronting one of the decks, It will be interesting to see if Bandai intend on including the Legend-Arms chain from the Digimon Story: Super Xros Wars Red and Blue games. If this is the case, how will the weaponized form of different Digimon be used in the game? Both of the focus Digimon chosen for these new starters are anniversary Digimon, celebrating the 15th and 20th anniversary of the franchise. We are yet to see any card reveals for this starter deck but with Jesmon and RagnaLoardmon taking up the mantle, I’m sure we won’t be disappointed.
Starter Decks Jesmon and RagnaLoardmon will release on April 22nd in Japan and October 14th for the English version of the Digimon Card Game. To learn more about other upcoming products, check out the links below –
