This deck is easy to use and is excellent for beginners due to its simplicity. The deck is very consistent in bringing out its powerful Digimons. Outside a few deck types, not many decks can slow down this deck's combos. The deck's goal is to bring out your strongest Digimons, and all the Digimon and Tamers in the deck support that goal. The deck also has the added benefit of effects from other colors to make your Digimon even more brutal to fight against.

The Xros Heart Deck is a rush deck. You want to bring out all the materials to bring out Shoutmon X4 and Shoutmon X5, but mostly X5. Both versions of Shoutmon X are powerful thanks to their Inheritable Effects. So the faster you bring out those powerful Digimon, the greater your chance of success.
All the Digimon in the deck has a Special Effect called Save, which allows you to place a deleted Digimon under a Tamer Card. Your Digimon under your Tamers can still be used to bring out Shoutmon X4 and X5, so unless you are against a deck that can delete Tamer Cards, your conditions for summoning X4 and X5 are consistent.
The strength of this deck is limiting the amount of Memory your opponent has to play with. Many cards in this deck have a low cost to play. Shoutmon X4 and X5, when summoned properly, have the effect of lowering their Memory Cost. So Shoutmon X4 can be played for one Memory, and Shoutmon X5 costs no Memory.
You can also summon Shoutmon X4 and X5 from your hand if you have all the cards.

The Tamers of this deck will set you up for success and are necessary for bringing out Shoutmon X quickly. It would be best if you focused on bringing out all the Tamers in this deck.
One of the deck's weaknesses is bringing out the requirements for Shoutmon X. You will need to draw a lot of cards and have many cards in hand. Some of the cards in this deck will help you draw cards but you can still run into issues.
With Tamer Cards on the field, you do not have to worry about your losing the requirements for DigiXros thanks to the Save ability. So take opportunities to attack your opponent's Security.
The Tamer Card Taiki Kudo is the most important Tamer Card to play. The Tamer gets you 2 requirements for DigiXros for spending three Memory just on playing him. Taiki Kudo is the most important Tamer in this deck for that reason.
Your other Tamer Cards control your Memory and allow you to draw cards. Managing your Memory in this deck is vital. Due to the many low-level Digimon in this deck, you will find yourself playing Digimon straight from the hand, so the less Memory you give to your opponent the better.
Although Pickmon is a yellow Digimon, it can Digivolve into all Level Three Digimon with the Xros keyword.
The Xros Heart Combo
Thanks to the Tamer Cards, Akari Hinomoto and Zenjirou Tsurugi, you can play Battlistamon and Dorulumon for free. You should try to avoid Digivolving into the two champion-level Digimon.
If necessary, play them from the hand; they have low Memory Costs. Battlistamon has Blocker and can protect your Security, use it to block Digimon with higher DP or multiple Security attacks.
Shoutmon (King Verison) is a powerful card and is the only card capable of recovering Shoutmon X4 from the Trash. Shoutmon X4 is key to your success strategy. If you have the right cards in hand, you can attack with Shoutmon X4 and activate its End of Attack effect, and if you have a Sparrowmon in hand or the field, you can DigiXros into Shoutmon X5 and attack again.
With the Tamer Card Tai Kamiya on the field, Shoutmon X5 can remove three cards from your opponent's Security, and with Option Card Heroes of the Skies, you can remove four cards in one turn.
