Versus Games Online Digimon Ultimate Cup - 07/19/2025
Good evening! I’m writing about the Ultimate Cup I played in on Saturday, July 19, 2025 at the Versus Games Center event. I used a purple-based Dex deck and finished with a 4-2 record, placing 10th out of 64 in my pod.
I don’t love winning Round 1 this way, but 7 a.m. is early for some folks! I was hoping to play to shake off the nerves, but the extra time to wake up was nice too.
Round 2: Sakuya - 2-0 Win
I played one game against this opponent, but he gave me the win because it was his dad’s birthday. Talk about an easy 2-0! With four more rounds to go, I could relax with my parents and son afterward.
Round 3: Megidra - 2-1 Win
This matchup was tough. In Game 1, my opponent did Megidra things, looping and hitting me with two rush Guils to win. In Game 2, I took control early, chipped away, and used Dorugrey to secure the win. In Game 3, he drew poorly, and I capitalized with my setup, pushing for the win. Good games! 3-0 record now.
Round 4: Royal Knight - 1-2 Loss
Game 1 was a grind, but my opponent forgot Dorugora’s deletion protection. I cleared all four security cards with a board of two Loogas, Tyranny, and Dorugora. I evolved into Dex, deleted my own Digimon to unsuspend, and swung for the win. Game 2 was back-and-forth, but he won with Omni and Jesmon’s strong combo. Game 3 was all Medieval, and he took it. He was a cool guy, though, and got second place overall. We added each other afterward. Oh, he’s Canadian, by the way. 3-1 now.

Round 5: Megidra - 0-2 Loss
This round, I faced arguably the best purple player in North America, Tesero. This matchup feels like a coin flip. In Game 1, I drew poorly and couldn’t get anything going. In Game 2, I made a mistake, forgetting my tamer didn’t give me a blocker, and a few other misplays cost me. Still, I was 3-2 and in the running for Top 16!
Round 6: Ex9 Machinedramon - 2-0 Win
The final round was intense. We were both 3-2, so a loss would knock one of us out of Top 16. I had to win! In Game 1, he set up too slowly, and I controlled the board, hitting hard with De-Digi while his face-down Digivolution cards hurt him. Game 2 was similar. He didn’t draw his analogs, so I poked and rolled slowly to the win. I did it! 4-2 and Top 16 secured.
Thanks for reading about my tournament!
