Yes. Cards are identified by their card number. As long as their card numbers are different, you can include 4 copies of two cards with the same name in your deck.

Yes. You can re-draw your hand while preparing a game, but you can only do this once per game. When re-drawing, return your entire hand to your deck, shuffle it, then draw 5 new cards. You must re-draw your entire hand, not just part of it. The first player first declares whether or not they will re-draw.

Yes. Suspended Tamers are unsuspended during this phase.

No, you can't. If there are 1 or more cards in your deck, you must draw from it. If you have to draw but there are no cards left in your deck, you lose the game.

Yes, both hatching a new Digi-Egg and moving Digimon from the breeding area to the battle area are optional.

Yes, you can.

No. Even if you digivolve it, you can't attack with a Digimon the same turn it entered play.

Token cards are non-game cards used by effects. You may prepare as many token cards as you like, but you must prepare token cards if your deck or Digi-Egg deck includes a card with an effect that uses tokens.

With effects that use text like "play" or "use," you must perform the action shown in the text whenever possible. For example, a "trash the top 3 cards of your deck" effect would mean that you must trash the top 3 cards of your deck. If you only have 2 or fewer cards in your deck, you must trash as many cards as possible until you have 0 cards in your deck. Effects that use text like "you may" allow the player to choose whether they will activate that effect or not. For example, a "you may trash the top 3 cards of your deck" effect would mean that you may choose whether you will trash the cards from your deck or not. However, if you do choose to trash them, you must trash 3 cards whenever possible. You can't just trash 1 or 2 cards.

Yes. Multicolor Digimon are treated as if they have each color, and can be targeted by effects that care about any of them.

DNA Digivolution is a special digivolution that digivolves multiple Digimon together.When you digivolve into a Digimon card that has DNA Digivolution, you stack all of the Digimon that meet the DNA Digivolution requirements on top of each other, place the Digimon card with DNA Digivolution on top, and pay the digivolution cost.This process is referred to as "DNA digivolving".

When digivolving the specified Digimon into a Digimon with [Burst Digivolve], you can digivolve for the specified digivolution cost if you return 1 of the specified Tamers to the hand. After a Digimon is Burst Digivolved, you must trash its top card at the end of the turn, as with <De-Digivolve>.

A Digimon whose level is listed as “-” is considered to have no level. Since it has no level, it can’t digivolve via normal digivolution conditions. Digimon without levels are also ignored by effects that check for Digimon of a certain level.

When a player plays a Digimon card with DigiXros requirements, then places any number of the cards specified in that card's DigiXros requirements from their hand and/or battle area under the Digimon card to be played, the play cost is reduced by the value specified in the DigiXros requirements for each card placed.

It refers to a card with the word or icon specified for "X" shown in the card's card name, traits, effects, inherited effects, rules, digivolution requirements, DNA digivolution, DigiXros requirements, burst digivolve, app fusion, link, or Assembly requirements. Notes that are enclosed in parentheses don't count as text.

A card with a low play cost and <Burst Digivolve>, which allows for digivolving at counter timing. The card type of these cards is Digimon card.

These are cards in the security stack that are placed face-up by effects. Other than rules that specify face-up security cards, the rules apply in the same manner as standard security cards.

No, you can't. Cards can't be stacked with token cards.

Yes, it triggers. Cards stacked underneath will be played in a state where they are considered to have their inherited effects.

A security check is a rule that allows a player to decrease their opponent's security stack. A security check is performed when a Digimon's attack is successful on a player that has 1 or more security cards. The processing for a security check is performed using the following procedure. ① The player reveals their top security card. At such times, the checked card is removed from the security stack and is treated as not being in any particular area. If the checked card is a Digimon card, that card becomes a Security Digimon. ② Effects triggered upon a security check are processed. For example, [Security] effects, "when a card is removed from a security stack" effects, and "when a security check occurs" effects will trigger, then these effects are resolved. ③ If the case of a Security Digimon, a battle will occur between the Security Digimon and the Digimon that performed the security check. ④ A card revealed from a security check is trashed unless it belongs to an area. If an effect adds the card to the hand or places it in the battle area, it isn't trashed. ⑤ If the Digimon that performed the security check can perform another security check due to an effect such as <Security A. +1>, that Digimon then performs the additional check.

A link is a rule where a card with <Link> in the hand or battle area can link with one of your Digimon by paying that card's link cost and plugging it in sideways. The card plugged in sideways is the link card, and the Digimon with the link card is "linked." 1 Digimon can have a maximum of 1 link card.

App Fusion is a rule where you can reveal a card with App Fusion, then according to the App Fusion requirements, place a specified link card from 1 specified Digimon in the battle area on top of that Digimon and digivolve it into the revealed card by paying the specified cost.

Yes, you can prepare them.

No, they aren't met. The token card is removed from the game, but it's considered to be returned to the hand. Therefore, "if this effect didn't return to the hand" conditions aren't met.

During a battle, players compare the DP of the two battling cards. After comparing DP, the card with the higher value is the winner, and the card with the lower value is the loser. If both cards have the same DP, both lose the battle and are deleted simultaneously. After all of the processing is complete for the rules and effects at such times, the end of battle timing occurs. Once all of the processing has been resolved for the end of the battle timing, the battle will end.

It's trashed immediately before stacking the Digimon as a digivolution card.

Assembly refers to a rule where a player plays a Digimon card with Assembly requirements, places the specified number of the cards specified in that card's Assembly requirements from their trash under the Digimon card to be played, and the play cost is reduced by the value specified in that card's Assembly requirements.

<Security A.> is a keyword effect where the Digimon with this effect will have a modified number of security checks according to the number specified for this effect. For example, a Digimon with 1 instance of <Security A. +1> will perform 2 security checks. On the other hand, a Digimon with 1 instance of <Security A. -1> will perform 0 security checks. In addition, even if your Digimon that would perform 0 security checks attacks a player with 0 cards in their security stack, you don't yet win the game.

<Blocker> is a keyword effect that applies a rule that allows a Digimon with that effect to block. A block can only be performed once per attack during the opponent's block timing. You can suspend one of your Digimon with <Blocker> in the battle area to switch the attack target to the blocking Digimon.

Yes, you can. Your security stack has no maximum card limit.

<Piercing> is a keyword effect that reads "when this attacking Digimon deletes your opponent's Digimon in battle, it performs a security check before the attack ends." When a Digimon with <Piercing> attacks and deletes an opponent's Digimon in battle during that attack, <Piercing> will activate. If <Piercing> activates, that Digimon will perform a security check on the opponent immediately before the end of attack timing. If <Piercing> triggers, it must activate and a security check must be performed when possible.

No, if your deck is empty, <Draw> fails to activate and you can't draw any cards.

Yes, it does.

No. You can't activate <Digisorption> when digivolving Digimon in your breeding area.

No, a Digimon with <Reboot> unsuspends during both your unsuspend phase and your opponent's.

Level 2 Digimon can't remain in battle areas, so it's sent to the trash. (The Digimon is not considered to have been deleted.)

<Piercing> activates, but because the Digimon with <Piercing> is deleted by <Retaliation> before the security check is performed, the battle ends and you can't perform the security check.

It allows you to activate a powerful effect by trashing a specified number of digivolution cards beneath the Digimon with <Digi-Burst>. Effects vary from card to card.

Digimon with <Rush> can ignore the rule that prevents Digimon from attacking the turn they come into play. In short: Digimon with <Rush> can attack as soon as you play them.

<Blitz> is a keyword effect where a Digimon with this effect can attack if your opponent has 1 or more memory. "If your opponent has 1 or more memory" refers to when the memory is at 1 on your opponent's side or further to the right. If attacking with <Blitz>, you suspend the attacking Digimon and choose an attack target, as with a standard attack.

After placing an Option card with <Delay> in your battle area, you can trash it during your main phase to activate various effects.

When one of your Digimon matching <Decoy>'s specifications would be deleted by an opponent's "delete" effect, you can delete the Digimon with <Decoy> instead to prevent the other Digimon from being deleted.

No. "Top card" doesn't refer to digivolution cards, but to the top card of the Digimon itself, similar to <De-Digivolve>. After activating <Armor Purge>, the Digimon's top digivolution card becomes the Digimon itself.

The cards are trashed.

No, even if there is only one card, you can place that card under a Tamer.

Yes, you can. As long as a Digimon with <Evade> can be suspended, neither deletion from a battle nor deletion from an effect will occur.

No, the effect reads "you may switch," so you do not have to switch the attack target.

Yes. The <Alliance> effect only lasts for the duration of an activated attack, therefore the DP and <Security Attack +1> gained from the <Alliance> effect are lost when the attack ends.

No, you can't.

<Blast Digivolve> is a keyword effect that allows 1 of your Digimon to digivolve into a card with this keyword effect in the hand without paying the cost. For example, a {Hand} [Counter] <Blast Digivolve> effect allows you to digivolve 1 of your Digimon into a card with this effect in the hand without paying the cost.

This effect places the Tamer that activated the effect as the bottom digivolution card of 1 of your Digimon with no Tamer cards in its digivolution cards. After placing it, it becomes a digivolution card of that Digimon.

Yes, it can activate.If a Digimon has cards under it, it's treated as having digivolution cards, regardless of their card category or whether or not those cards have inherited effects.

<Partition> is a keyword effect. When a Digimon with this effect and 1 of each of the specified cards in its digivolution cards would be removed from the battle area other than by one of your effects or the result of a battle, the effect triggers and allows you to play 1 of each of the specified cards from the digivolution cards without paying their costs.

<Collision> is a keyword effect. While a Digimon with this effect is attacking, all of your opponent's Digimon gain <Blocker> and the opponent player is forced to block whenever possible during the block timing.

<Blast DNA Digivolve> is a keyword effect. One of your Digimon specified by this effect and a card from your hand may digivolve into a card with this keyword effect in the hand by paying the cost. For example, a {Hand} [Counter] <Blast DNA Digivolve> effect allows you to DNA digivolve 1 of your Digimon and 1 card in the hand into 1 card with this effect in the hand by paying the cost during the counter timing of your opponent's turn.

By deleting 1 of your other Digimon when a Digimon with this keyword effect would be deleted other than by one of your effects, this effect prevents the deletion.

This is a keyword effect that allows you to attack an opponent's Digimon at the end of your turn. With <Vortex>, a Digimon can attack the turn it's played.

With this keyword effect, at the end of your turn, by deleting 1 of your tokens or 1 of your other Digimon specified by <Overclock>, the Digimon with this effect may attack the opponent player. A Digimon can use this effect to attack without suspending.

<Iceclad> is a keyword effect where you compare the number of digivolution cards instead of DP when you battle using the Digimon with this effect, other than battles against Security Digimon.

<Decode> is a keyword effect. When the Digimon with this effect would leave the battle area other than by a battle, you may play 1 Digimon card specified by this effect from that Digimon's digivolution cards without paying the cost.

<Fragment> is a keyword effect. When a Digimon with this effect would be deleted, by choosing and trashing the specified number of this Digimon's digivolution cards, it isn't deleted.

No, it doesn't trigger.

<Progress> is a keyword effect that reads "this Digimon isn't affected by your opponent's effects while attacking." A Digimon with <Progress> isn't affected by your opponent's effects while it's attacking.

<Link +X> is a keyword effect that reads "add X to this Digimon's maximum links."

The attacking Digimon's attack target can't be switched, therefore your opponent can't perform a block.

No, it doesn't trigger. [When Linking] effects will trigger when the card with that effect itself becomes a link card. Even if another card gets linked, an already linked card's [When Linking] effect won't trigger.

<Training> is a keyword effect that reads "By suspending this Digimon during the main phase, place the top card of your deck at the bottom of this Digimon's digivolution cards. This effect can also activate in the breeding area." As with [Main] effects, <Training> can be activated during your main phase by declaring its activation when there is no unresolved processing, then the effect will activate.

No, you can't. If the attack is ended, the end of attack timing will occur without the timing for before the end of the attack occuring. Therefore, the timing for processing <Piercing> won't occur and a security check can't be performed.

They are digivolution cards that are placed face down. As with normal digivolution cards, each card is counted as 1 digivolution card, but face-down digivolution cards are considered to have no card information. In addition, their card information (color, card name, effects, etc.) can't be referenced, and their inherited effects can't trigger or activate.

No, its [X Per Turn] limit is reset. If a card with an [X Per Turn] effect is moved to a different area from its original area, its limit will be reset, then it can be activated the same number of times again.

The player that activated the effect chooses the order to return the cards. The order isn't revealed to the opponent. If the player that activated the effect is returning their own Digimon's face-down digivolution cards, they can check the information on the face-down digivolution cards when returning them. If your opponent's Digimon's digivolution cards are to be returned, you choose the order to return them without looking at the information on the cards.

Block timing is the timing after counter timing. This is the timing when the non-turn player can use their Digimon with <Blocker> to perform a block. A block can only be performed once per attack during the block timing. After all of the processing is resolved for this timing, players confirm if an attack is successful.
