Eye of the Gorgon

Description

Eye of the Gorgon, designated as BT9-108, is a strategic Option card from the 2022 X Record expansion of the Digimon Card Game. Released under the BT9 set code, this card carries a Common rarity and is defined by its Purple color identity. It serves as a critical resource engine for players looking to manipulate the discard pile and accelerate their board presence. The card operates with a play cost of 8 memory, demanding significant resource investment before it can be activated. Its primary effect allows the player to delete one of their opponent's unsuspended Digimon. Upon successfully removing an opponent's threat, the card unlocks a secondary benefit: the ability to play one purple Level 3 Digimon card directly from the trash without paying its memory cost. This recursion mechanic is particularly valuable for decks that rely on recycling high-cost threats or recovering from unfavorable board states. However, this advantage comes with a specific restriction. Any [On Play] effects associated with the Digimon recovered via this method do not activate. This limitation balances the free play cost, preventing certain explosive plays while still allowing the player to establish a board presence with a powerful Level 3 unit. Additionally, the card functions as a Security card, meaning its Main effects can be triggered when it is revealed during an opponent's attack, adding a layer of defensive utility to its offensive capabilities. Collectors of the Digimon Card Game value Eye of the Gorgon for its unique interaction with the game's resource management systems. Whether used in competitive decks or collected for its mechanical intrigue, it remains a notable part of the X Record catalog.
