DigiModify Cards

[Guilmon and a shotgun]

I only think about the cards initially in relation to the card game, and how a Tamer might Slash it afterwards. Here are some basic guidelines:

Digimon Cards - Grant access to ONE attack from the card Slashed, or may morph part of the Digimon's body to reflect that of the Slashed card (iirc, this effect was used in the show; Ruki slashed Snimon and Renamon's Arms turned into Snimon's sickles)

Modify Cards
Type 1: Stat Booster Chips or Evolution cards - These cards grant their effect in practical terms. A Speed Booster chip will grant the Digimon more speed, a Power Booster will give more power. Interestingly enough, the card generally used for evolution was not a basic evolution, but a Super Evolution card (for Evolvution to Perfect/Ultimate level) in Tamers, which indicates that a standard "Evolution" card may not work properly.

Type 2: Item or Device cards - These cards either trigger or realize the item they represent. In the show, the Brave Shield (WarGreymon's shield) and Thor's Hammer (Zudomon's hammer) were used, as well as Training Grips and Heavy Metal. In theory if a Digimental (DigiArmor) card were used, it would probably trigger the Digimon to evolve using that Digimental. This has also been used in a fanfic before.

Most Modify cards have an immediate effect, and only last one turn, or a short time when slashed in Tamers. They don't add an attack, but they may increase the power of the attack, or (in the card game) allow you to use an attack you normally can't -- you can only attack with the type of your opponent unless you have an appropriate card to use something else.

I played with my brother. . . considering we got a cheap starter pack at a store going out of business, we didn't have many cards, but I got the feel of the game. So I'm just... a bit of a stickler for cards following the game -- the only special cards in Tamers were the Blue and Red cards, the first acting as a catalyst towards relization or evolution, and the second modifying their code so that they could stand up to the D-Reaper. Yamaki and the Wild Bunch didn't just "make cards" to slash.

so u make up things that are based on fact then?
