Dead or Alive

Description

Released in 2021, this card serves as a strategic tool for players utilizing purple memory colors. The foil rare variation adds a distinct visual texture to the base card design, making it a notable addition for collectors who appreciate specific print treatments within the series. As an Option card with a play cost of 8, Dead or Alive provides critical utility during gameplay. Its primary effect allows a player to play one purple Level 5 Digimon card from the trash without paying its memory cost. This mechanic is particularly valuable for recycling powerful assets that have been discarded during the match. The card also features a secondary effect that activates if there are 10 or more cards in the trash, enabling the player to play one Digimon card with [Lucemon] in its name without paying its memory cost instead. This flexibility allows for adaptive strategies depending on the state of the trash pile. The security effect mirrors the main effect, allowing the card to trigger its abilities when revealed during security checks. This dual functionality enhances its reliability in high-pressure situations. The card was illustrated by Shin Sasaki, whose artwork complements the intense theme of the card's name. The BT7-109 foil rare variant is a named parallel treatment within the ADVANCED BOOSTER DIGIMON GENERATION set. The combination of its strategic depth and the foil treatment makes it a sought-after item for those building comprehensive collections of the ADVANCED BOOSTER series.
