Rika Nonaka

Description

Rika Nonaka, identified as BT17-085, is a Yellow Tamer card featured in the 2024 BOOSTER SECRET CRISIS [BT17] expansion of the Digimon Card Game. As an Uncommon (U) rarity card, it serves as a versatile unit for players looking to build strategic decks around her specific abilities. The card requires a play cost of 3, making it an accessible addition to early and mid-game strategies. The card’s primary strength lies in its hand digivolution mechanic. Players can place this Tamer along with one Kyubimon and one Taomon from their trash into the bottom of a Renamon as digivolution cards. This allows the Renamon to digivolve into Sakuyamon directly from the hand for a cost of 4, bypassing standard digivolution requirements. If this effect is used, the player may also return one Option card from the trash to their hand, providing valuable resource recovery. Beyond its hand manipulation, Rika Nonaka offers defensive utility. At the start of the main phase, if the opponent controls a Digimon, the player gains 1 memory, helping to close the gap in resource management. Additionally, the card features a Security effect that allows it to be played without paying its cost if it is revealed during security checks, adding an element of surprise and board control. Collectors of the Digimon Card Game often seek out specific Tamers like Rika Nonaka to complete their BOOSTER SECRET CRISIS set or to acquire cards with unique gameplay interactions. The card’s ability to facilitate powerful digivolutions and recover resources makes it a notable piece for enthusiasts of the franchise.
