Deck Primer

This is a version of your standard Blackwargreymon X-Antibody, but with one key swap, I swap out the standard Agumon P-009 promo for Agumon ST7-02.

I have a handful of reasons why, but they all come down to generating more value than the standard Agumon P-009. Agumon ST7-02 gains 2000 DP when attacking for the rest of the turn, which can be done multiple times as it isn't a once per turn effect, and even just the solo activation gains you the same value as Agumon P-009.

This is a version of your standard Blackwargreymon X-Antibody, but with one key swap, I swap out the standard Agumon P-009 promo for Agumon ST7-02.

I have a handful of reasons why, but they all come down to generating more value than the standard Agumon P-009. Agumon ST7-02 gains 2000 DP when attacking for the rest of the turn, which can be done multiple times as it isn't a once per turn effect, and even just the solo activation gains you the same value as Agumon P-009. The only real downside, is if your opponent has something in security that targets based off of DP, because if you haven't attacked with it yet, then you won't have the boost, but the potential larger boost outweighs the static your turn effect, and I'll list my reasons.

#1: This deck has a handful of re-standing effects in it, that cause you to unsuspend. Your standardly played BlackWarGreymon will unsuspend at least once per turn if you are playing to delete your opponent's digimon, so you can potentially generate up to 4000, which itself is 16000 and nearly beats over everything in the format but if you have BT5 Greymon in the stack can give you upt to 18000.
#2: The second re-stand that you will see of in this deck is the Promo BlackWarGreymon, even though it's run at one, it is an insanely valuable OTK tool. You can win in one turn with it, and due to the wording on Agumon ST7-02 being "This digimon gains +2000 DP until the end of the turn" even if you digiburst it off early, your +2000 effect will linger even after it is bursted off the stack. You can potentially get up to 3 activations on this, but mostly you'll be getting 1 or 2, which puts you either value even with the Promo Agumon or plus.
#3: Availability and price. I can't say that the reason I started looking at the option wasn't because of price reasons, it definitely was. At time of writing the market price on Agumon P-009 for the cheapest version is $15, meanwhile Agumon ST7-02's cheapest version is 38 cents, meanwhile the cheaper version has potentially much higher payoffs in every version of WarGreymon that uses it, including the new BT12 Raid Wargreymon which will also re-stand.

Thanks for listening to my tedtalk, and please consider playing the cheaper, better option.
