Regarding "The XX of this card/Digimon is also treated as [YY]" text

"The XX of this card/Digimon is also treated as [YY]" text on cards such as [BT8-061 Thundermon] will be revised as shown in the new text below.

Regarding "You can include up to XX in your deck" text

"You can include up to XX in your deck" type text on cards such as [BT6-085 Eosmon] and [RB1-004 Agumon] will be revised as shown in the new text below.

Regarding ruling changes due to changes to ⟨Rule⟩

In accordance with the above-mentioned changes to the texts "The XX of this card/Digimon is also treated as [YY]" and "You may include up to XX in your deck," ruling will be changed as follows.

The always-applied effects "The XX of this card/Digimon is also treated as [YY]" and "You may include up to XX in your deck" were effects in the old text, so it was difficult to understand in what state the text could be referenced, causing confusion among users.

With this ruling change, the text will be unified into a rule rather than an effect and will apply in any location and in any state.

The above corrections apply to the cards listed below.

＜Overflow＞ rule change

The rule for ＜Overflow＞ has been changed from "as this card would move from the battle area or from under a card to another area, lose X memory" to "as this card would move from the field or from under a card to another area, lose X memory."
In the previous version of the rule, the behavior of a card with ＜Overflow＞ in the breeding area varied depending on whether or not it had cards under it, causing confusion among many players.
This change will modify the behavior of a card with ＜Overflow＞ in the breeding area as follows.

This rule change will also apply to ＜Overflow＞ on cards already owned by players.
Replacement cards won't be made for this rule change. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope for your understanding.

Simultaneous triggering with rule checks

Some of the rules for simultaneous triggering have changed with the addition of the following rule: "When an effect triggers during processing for a single action (such as a triggered effect, digivolution, or card play) then an effect triggers due to a rule check, the effects are considered to trigger simultaneously." In the previous version of the rules, the processing procedure would differ from the normal procedure only when a DP-reducing effect was involved, causing confusion among many players.
The rule changes will modify the procedure as follows.

Replacement cards won't be made for this rule change. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope for your understanding.

Counter Timing

The counter timing rules will be changed as follows: "The counter timing is the timing when a non-turn player's [Counter] effect triggers."

However, in such situations, only "when an opponent's Digimon attacks" effects would trigger at timings different from the timings shown on cards. This resulted in hindrances in gameplay and required players to know in advance that only "when an opponent's Digimon attacks" effects would trigger at different timings. This has now been changed so that "when an opponent's Digimon attacks" effects will trigger simultaneously with effects such as an attacking Digimon's [When Attacking] effect and "when an opponent's Digimon is suspended" effects. The rules for [Counter] effects will remain unchanged.

Text Rules

"Effects with XX in their text" can now reference text written on cards including names, traits, effects, inherited effects, rules, digivolution requirements, DNA Digivolve, DigiXros requirements, and Burst Digivolve.
In the previous version of the rules, this didn't include traits unless a trait was written in the text of an effect or (Rule), resulting in situations where it would be difficult to determine if a trait could be referenced or not. The rules have now been changed so that it will be easy to understand what text can be referenced.
However, this doesn't include notes on cards.

Tokens

Changes have been made regarding the preparation of tokens.
The rules for preparing token cards are as follows.

Token cards can now be prepared even if your deck doesn't have any cards that use tokens.

In addition, the rules for tokens used in the game have been changed as follows.

The rule stating that tokens can't digivolve and some other rules remain unchanged, but one change will be included: "A token will be removed from the game when it leaves the field."
When an effect such as [BT12-083 Arresterdramon: Superior Mode]'s effect would be used to place a token under another Digimon or Tamer, the token is removed from the game instead.
