Security Checkpoint

It's a mess over here. AI wrote the cold open and we did a theatrical reading of it. Numeon kills my children and then me. I put Quantumon down for one second and now she's worse. So what's up with you, viewer? I heard you're playing the weird decks in Balatro and grinding bronze double up TFT. Nah nvm that was us too. Anyway, goodnight! other notes: Ryan is so good at digimon...

Holy shit, World Champion Peter Franqui is here!!! Pete takes us through his path to ruling the entire world and the good word of of never attacking your opponent!

What if this very moment is the beginning? What if your life has just started? What if you just kept evoing into agumon over and over? Is that the peak of Bandai's mountain? When I see the top, will I be happy? also: quantumon baby hell yeah, muchachomon, someone please help my lemonade stand is bleeding me dry

Did you figure out my rhyming puzzle? Here's a hint, it's the best god damn 6 in the game. She's SICK. Nolan is here to talk about his descent to madness that is making Quantumon work. JB is here to talk about the brrrrrrr shhhhh DING DING sound you hear at casinos and the joys of big number. Both relish in the heaven that is bad digimon cards and a format around it, as well as the...

We're back from Nationals and one of us is so dang hype to build in this BT15 world!! Quantumon is HERE and you GOTTA hear about it. Please? Everyone keeps abandoning my games. We talk about what we're brewing, the state of deckbuilding, and shooting yourself in the head. Is it clear that that's a reference? Don't shoot yourself in the head. We're trying out 30 minute epis...

This one's a frankenstein of an episode. In Act I we see our heroes already at their lowest, scrambling for a lifeboat in the tumultuous sea of competition. In Act II, those heroes are struck down to clear the way for even greater heroes to appear. and in Act III we have our friend Noah join us, its fun! go listen to Errata Sonata , we're thrilled to be collaborating with them!

This week is a halfsie, next week we'll post another! Okay? It's not weird.  We've finally made decisions, we've finally done some testing. We're locked and loaded. Let the chips fall where they may, for luck belongs to those with hands to grab it. no other notes, i'm busy, i need answers

The conclusion of the 2023 competitive season of the Digimon Trading Card Game is in fifteen days. We're both playing yellow probably! We both might be playing Venusmon! I'm so tired. We talk about what we're thinking for Nationals, the unforgivable act of taking every turn, and then new hit PC game Age of Mythology released in 1988. other notes: Sports Shouting, three Xehanorts, an...

BT14 is now!! It's here!! There are purple puppies and new security control cards!! DIGIMON IS BACK. Or at least we've been playing it more recently. Lets talk about the newest regionals tops, the hottest secret discord takes, and a deep hatred for every yellow card. And Street Fighter 6. I keep playing Street Fighter 6. Those bongos over at Baggage Claim talk about who did it, reality g...

We're here this week to tell you that no matter what you do, BWG doesn't care.  We go over some regionals, an announcement of announcement, and another in depth review of another random episode of yugioh. Kaiba can't keep getting away with this. other notes: no touchy, 8 of every card, and a history of the shinobi wars

I don't want to talk about it. I don't want to talk about it!! Cards got restricted and I really liked some of them!!! NO ONE HAS A WORSE LIFE THAN ME. We talk about how to deal with anger, greymons, and The Boy Who Lived (tommy himi). After our landing, we get into a different sort of anger, reality tv, and the real true story of how we met (wow).  other notes: going green in secret, a...

This time is different. How? Okay, you got me. It's mostly regular. We do some meditation on tournament play, dream up an alternate digimon format, and take a glimpse at the game's bright future in yellow/green level 6s. But then we talk about Medabots for way longer than anyone should. Finally we premiere our new podcast Baggage Claim and let me tell you- it's not bad. other notes:...

Odins breath is so close to being the best card okay dude holy hell uuuggghhhhhh. On this episode we talk about Digimon cards, reading them, and our deck choices for the recent Regionals tournaments. We also talk about Baldur's Gate and, just... just a lot of other stuff.  other notes: gaslighting your cohost, pottery class, and for real playing digimon

Good Morning! We're back from nationals and the crippling grip of real life! Let's catch up on the news: Avril Lavigne is here now, motherfucker. I guess also nationals happened, Bandai has given us the same mulligan rights as One Piece, and ACE Digimon are on the horizon (yeah we talk about the future now i'm so sorry)!  other notes: digimon are fighting game characters, an open th...

Beckmon herself is here to talk nationals thoughts and the importance of casual play! JB and Nolan are also here to talk about the normal topics of a Digimon podcast: if dogs can have an existential crisis, is truly nothing holy? other notes: the one piece tcg, d for danger i guess, and thecandylady.com Find Beck at: https://twitter.com/mtggirl_ https://www.twitch.tv/mtggirl_

Hey! How are you? We're back, sort of! We recorded this episode a few weeks ago (oops) so we go over some older news, talk about JB's terrible taste in movies, and question what archetypes are waiting to pounce as BT11 draws near. other notes: the digimon movie, some not-so-secret spice, and wow, you're not going to believe it, we talk about old yugioh cards again.   We'll be u...

This episode is split into two parts. In the first part, we lament the slow start of the bt10 format. In the second, we do a little tournament report. JB turns to the dark side and plays Nolan's sec con list. We argue about that for a while. other notes: Gnomeo & Juliet, an Arby's Confessional, a 2-2 Winning Record logo by Galaxy Senpai editing by JB Brinks email us at seccheckpointp...

Hey, listen, we're friends right? You wouldn't hold our mistakes against us? There's a non zero percent of this episode where we don't read the text on our digimon cards. Just roll with it okay cool We haven't been playing a lot of digimon lately, but we still have strong opinions about some cards coming out in the upcoming BT10! As well as some dark prophecies about cards...

They announced the delay the day after we recorded this. This happens every time. This episode we're starting our look ahead at the new archetypes introduced in the next set BT-10: Xros Encounter and make a guess as to how they'll fare against some of the bigger contenders in the meta. We'll look at Xros Heart, Blue Flare, Bloomlordmon, and Minervamon/Cerb Loop this time around. log...

Hey! The BT9 format marches forward. We look ahead at the new starter decks, question how to make a podcast, and make some mistakes along the way. Some stuff we need you to know in order to enjoy the first few minutes of the episode: All That She Wants is a song by Ace of Base okay it was really popular in the 90s okay; Toxic is a song by Britney Spears that was released in 2003, not the 90's...

 We recorded in California, where the laws are different. But what we didn't expect is that the Digimon are different too! This episode we recap our runs at a store championship, go over the new ban lists and engage with the discourse surrounding it, and then look at some cards from waaaaay too far ahead for us to reasonably talk about. We're having fun. It's Nolan's birthday....

GenCon is over, we didn't do great. But maybe the real nationals invite is the friends we made along the way? Probably not. But we did bring along one of those friends we made, so Dan Vang is here to talk with us about what we saw at GenCon! other notes: a terrible trip home, a heated rivalry, and WHY DOES EVERYONE LOVE DIGI-SIZE??? Gaia Force Gaming discord editing by JB Brinks logo by Galax...

OKAY FULLY this episode starts out with a few uninterrupted minutes about the sexual activity of flies and that's kind of a lot. If you might not be cool with that you should jump to 3:20, it does not come up again. This episode we've got a lot to talk about: JetSilphymon and Tommy are restricted to 1, BT9 introduces a menagerie of consistent OTK decks, and there's so many terrible...

The newest set is coming out soon, so it's a season of retrospection here at Security Checkpoint Studios. Specifically the things we got really wrong about the EX2 meta. And then we talk about what cards we want to play in our BT9 Pre-Release events! Does anyone actually read these? Are my secrets safe here? I'm not really sure what the difference between Gabumon and Psychemon is. other...
