EmperorGreymon: Blocking It Is How You Lose Faster

Takuya Kanbara is a Tamer until you bury five Hybrid cards from your trash underneath him, at which point he counts as a Lv.5 red Digimon and EmperorGreymon digivolves straight out of him. Those five cards then do a second job: every time EmperorGreymon is blocked it unsuspends and gains a memory for each Hybrid in its digivolution cards, so the answer to it funds the next attack. Costs and card text are the printed ones.

EmperorGreymon (BT7-016)1 Q&A

I attack with this Digimon, and it is blocked by an opponent's Digimon at the blocker timing. At what timing does this card's ＜Your Turn＞ effect activate?

The ＜Your Turn＞ effect is activated immediately after this Digimon is blocked and it's attack target is changed. So, since the effect is triggered by your opponent blocking this Digimon, it will finish resolving before the battle against the blocking Digimon.(Mar 28, 2024)

Takuya Kanbara (BT7-085)7 Q&A

This card has a digivolution card effect, how can I activate it?

It can be activated after the tamer has evolved into a Digimon card that can digivolved from the tamer and this card is the digivolution card from the tamer to the digivolved Digimon.

Can I use this card's [Main] effect to put 5 cards with "Hybrid Body" in their traits from my trash under this tamer and dare not digivolve to "EmperorGreymon"?

Yes, it is "can digivolve", so it is possible to put 5 cards with "Hybrid Body" in the trait from the trash under this tamer without digivolving to "EmperorGreymon".

When there are only 4 cards with "Hybrid Body" in the trait in my trash, can I use this card's [Main] effect to put only 4 cards from my trash under this tamer, even though it cannot digivolution?

No, I cannot.

GoalMake blocking the wrong answer

Takuya Kanbara is down as your Tamer and your trash already holds ten or more Hybrid cards, which is what the early turns of this deck are for — the Agunimon package exists to trash itself. Nothing of yours is in the battle area, which is fine because the Tamer is about to be. Memory is at 3, both players are on 5 security, and a second Takuya and a second EmperorGreymon wait in hand with a blocker across the table.
