Imperialdramon Fighter Mode: Arrive on Their Turn, Never Stay Down

Fighter Mode has ＜Blast Digivolve＞ in the hand as a Counter, so it does not wait for your turn: it arrives in the middle of their attack and immediately sends one of their Digimon to the bottom of the deck. After that it stops being a body they can play around, because at the end of each of its attacks it unsuspends and, with Dragon Mode underneath, bottom-decks one of their suspended Digimon on the way up. Costs and card text are the printed ones.

Imperialdramon: Dragon Mode (BT16-028)2 Q&A

What kinds of effects activated by my opponent will trigger this card's ＜All Turns＞ effect?

It will trigger at times such as when a Digimon is played by [BT5-092]/[Nokia Shiramine] or when a Digimon digivolves by [P-103 Offense Training]'s effect. It won't trigger for effects that aren't digivolution effects, such as [BT4-011]/[Agunimon]'s effect that treats a Tamer as a level 3 red Digimon or [BT6-060]/[Deputymon]'s effect that allows digivolution requirements to be ignored.(Jun 28, 2024)

Which effect activates first, an ＜On Play＞＜When Digivolving＞ effect on an opponent's Digimon that was played/digivolved, or this card's ＜All Turns＞ effect?

They trigger simultaneously, so the turn player activates their effect first.(Mar 28, 2024)

GoalAnswer on their turn, then never suspend

Dragon Mode is already standing at Lv.6 and that matters twice over: it is the body Fighter Mode blasts on top of, and it is the card that has to be in the digivolution stack for the loop to remove anything. Fighter Mode is in your hand, the memory is at 1 — they passed as tight as they could — both players are on 5 security, and they have three Digimon out.
