The Digimon Card Game is constantly evolving, and the introduction of Starter Deck 19: Fable Waltz brings new strategies and exciting synergies to the table. If you’re looking to enhance your yellow deck or dive into the unique mechanics introduced in this starter set, Fable Waltz offers a fresh approach, particularly through its star card, Cendrillmon, and the brand-new Overclock ability.
Key Highlights of Starter Deck 19: Fable Waltz
-
New Mechanic: Overclock One of the standout features of this starter deck is the introduction of the Overclock mechanic, tied to the [Puppet] trait Digimon like Cendrillmon. This ability allows Cendrillmon to attack without suspending by deleting a Token or other Puppet trait Digimon at the end of your turn. This can put extra pressure on your opponent while giving you more control over your board.
-
Cendrillmon: The Star of the Deck Cendrillmon (ST19-12) is the heart of the Fable Waltz deck. With its Blocker ability, it provides defensive capabilities while keeping your life secure. Even more importantly, its When Digivolving effect allows you to play 2 [Familiar] Tokens for free, which can aid in both board control and triggering its Overclock ability. Additionally, when one of these Tokens is deleted, it weakens your opponent’s Digimon by reducing their DP by 3000, adding both offensive and defensive utility to your game plan.
-
Balance Between Yellow and Black Synergies The deck has several dual-coloured Digimon like PawnChessmon (ST19-04 and ST19-05) and ExTyrannomon (ST19-10), which can help bring in cards that require yellow or black cards to activate, offering greater flexibility when upgrading the deck. These multi-coloured Digimon also open the door to using specific black cards that can synergize well with the Yellow Memory Boost! and other core strategies of this starter deck.
Building and Upgrading Fable Waltz
While Starter Deck 19 gives you a solid foundation, upgrading it will elevate your deck to new levels. Here are a few key ways to maximize its potential:
-
Double Up the Deck A common strategy to improve starter decks is by purchasing a second copy. For Fable Waltz, this will be especially beneficial as you will need full playsets (4 copies) of critical cards like Shoemon, ShoeShoemon, Chaperomon, and Cendrillmon. These cards are only provided in quantities of two, so grabbing a second starter will strengthen your consistency.
-
Incorporating EX7 Cards For players looking to push Fable Waltz to a higher competitive level, consider cards from the EX7 expansion, such as extra versions of Shoemon, ShoeShoemon, Chaperomon, and Cendrillmon. These EX7 versions can offer enhanced effects and stats, making your deck more consistent.
-
Exploit the Power of Option Cards One particularly intriguing option for this deck is BT6-104 Parabolic Junk. This card grants one of your Digimon the On Deletion: Gain 2 Memory ability. In a deck centered on Token generation and deletion effects, this can create a powerful synergy, allowing you to trigger the Overclock effect multiple times in a turn. Since Parabolic Junk requires a black Digimon to activate, PawnChessmon fits perfectly into this strategy.
Final Thoughts: Fable Waltz – A Fun Yellow Deck
Starter Deck 19: Fable Waltz is more than just an introduction to the Digimon card game; it’s a strategic powerhouse that blends Yellow and Black synergy, Token generation, and board control. With Cendrillmon and the new Overclock mechanic, this deck opens up numerous tactical possibilities. Whether you're new to the game or a seasoned player, upgrading Fable Waltz with additional copies or cards from EX7 will give you a deck that’s both fun to play and competitive.
Be sure to give Fable Waltz a try, and experience the blend of calculated defense and overwhelming pressure as you push the limits of this exciting new starter deck!
