The latest issue of V Jump magazine, out on the 21st, reveals that Booster Set 4: GREAT LEGEND will include the Spirit Digimon, Agnimon of Digimon Frontier, and feature new Digimon with the «Digiburst» keyword introduced in the next wave of Starter Decks.
This volume of V Jump showcases several of the high-rarity cards from Booster Set 3: UNION IMPACT, including the long-awaited Secret Rare card Imperialdramon: Dragon Mode. This new print of Dragon Mode is a Green counterpart to Blue’s Super Rare from the same set, with a Piercing-focused effect rather than a Jamming one.
Beginning November 27th, Bandai will be running a new promo card campaign in Japan. Players that purchase any two Starter Decks out of ST-4, ST-5, or ST-6, will receive a promo pack containing two cards out of a possible three: Metal Garurumon, Black War Greymon, or Gran Kuwagamon.

Saint Galgomon is named after two different breeds of dogs, the Saint Bernard and Galgo Español. During the production of Tamers‘ English-language dub in 2001, Galgo was mistranslated as “Gargo”, and the word “Saint” was dropped in favor of “Mega” to avoid potential religious controversy, creating “MegaGargomon.” More recently, in the English-only game Digimon All-Star Rumble Bandai called it “SaintGargomon.”
[On-evolution] Rest an opponent’s Digimon. During your opponent’s next Active Phase, that Digimon does not Activate. [During your turn] If your opponent has a Rested Digimon, this Digimon gets <<Security Attack +1>>. (Increase the number of Security it checks by +1.)
A leaked sales sheet for the fourth Digimon booster set, GREAT LEGEND, was shared by Malaysian Twitter user Jimi Hiew yesterday. According to the sales sheet, BT-4 will launch December 18th in Japan, and comprise 115 cards: 44 Commons, 30 Uncommons, 26 Rares, 12 Super Rares, and 3 Secret Rares.
The set will feature support for Digimon with “Greymon” in the name, including War Greymon, Shine Greymon, and Victory Greymon—the last of which has yet to get a card in the TCG proper. Unlike past sales sheets, BT-4’s cover art reuses existing card artwork instead of showing new ones. The set’s cover cards both come from BT-2: ULTIMATE POWER.
Like all of the preceding booster sets, it will include alternate-artwork Parallel Tamer Cards as box toppers.

Source Effect

Belial Vamdemon has some interesting combo potential with the Fatal Bond keyword, as another Digimon resolving Fatal Bond will cause his controller to gain 2 Memory, 1 for each of the Digimon destroyed. This has potential as an engine for generating enough Memory to play higher-cost cards, though at the moment there are only a small number of Digimon with the keyword.

The official Digimon Card portal updated early this morning with the next set of Tamer Battle and Tamer Meet promotional cards.
Meanwhile the Tamer Meet shop events for October will feature a new Option Card, “A New World”, as the participation prize. Tamer Meets are more casual-oriented events than the competitive Tamer Battles, with an emphasis on having fun over competing to be the best. They consist of 2 hours of free battle participation, rather than a tournament structure.
