Queen Device

Description

Queen Device, cataloged as BT19-093, is a Yellow Option card released within the Special Booster Ver.2.5 set for the Digimon Card Game in 2024. This card targets the core mechanic of Digivolving, making it a disruptive tool for players looking to control the board state. By negating specific effects during the opponent's turn, it forces them to adapt their strategy away from aggressive evolution paths. The card’s primary utility lies in its ability to suppress [When Digivolving] effects. When played from the hand, Queen Device prevents one of the opponent's Digimon from activating these triggering abilities and reduces their power by 3000 DP until the end of the turn. This penalty can be decisive in close battles where power margins determine survival. Additionally, the card can be activated from the battle area, allowing for flexible timing to disrupt an opponent's response or counter a specific play. Beyond its hand effect, Queen Device offers robust defensive capabilities through its Security check interaction. When checked during security battles, it applies a -2 penalty to the security of two of the opponent's Digimon for that turn. This dual-layered disruption—hindering both offensive evolution and defensive resilience—makes it a valuable addition for collectors focusing on strategic depth. The card's design and rules text reflect the intricate balance found in the Digimon Card Game, appealing to players who appreciate tactical interference over raw power accumulation. Integrating this card into a collection provides insight into the game's evolving mechanics and the creative solutions designers use to maintain competitive balance. For collectors, BT19-093 represents a specific moment in the card's history, capturing the ongoing innovation of the Special Booster series.
