Richard Sampson

Description

Richard Sampson is a notable Tamer card from the 2023 Digimon Card Game Versus Royal Knights expansion. Identified by the set code BT13-098, this card is classified as a Universal (U) rarity, making it accessible for collectors building diverse decks. The card belongs to the Yellow color identity, which often correlates with specific strategic themes within the game's ecosystem. As a Tamer, Richard Sampson offers several distinct gameplay utilities that appeal to strategic players. One of its key features allows the card to be played without paying its play cost if it is trashed from the security stack during an opponent's attack. This effect provides a crucial defensive resource, turning a potential security breach into an immediate board presence. Additionally, the card interacts with the game's memory system; if both players have six or fewer total cards in their security stacks during the start of your main phase, you gain one memory, helping to accelerate future plays. The card also supports specific digivolution chains. By suspending Richard Sampson during your main phase, you can digivolve a Kudamon in your hand into Kentaurosmon, paying only the digivolution cost while ignoring the level requirement. This ability is particularly valuable for collectors and players who utilize Kudamon as a foundational piece for powerful Tamer lines. The Universal rarity ensures that this card is a staple in many competitive and casual lists alike. Collectors of the Versus Royal Knights set often seek this card to complete their Universal collection or to utilize its unique mechanical interactions.
