Digimon Card Game: The 10 Most Valuable Cards

Summary

• Chase cards in Digimon Card Game booster sets like Omnimon hold high value and are hard to pull, making them highly sought after.
• Bandai's official events offer hardcore players a chance to earn rare cards only available to the best in the game, like Mastemon ACE.
• Popular Digimon like Imperialdramon and Gallantmon can fetch high prices for their textured alternate art chase cards.

The Digimon Card Game is known as one of the cheapest card games around, but its promo cards are nothing to scoff at. Every booster set comes packed with at least two chase cards that usually hold their value and are extremely hard to pull, especially when the cards feature some of the most popular Digimon, like Omnimon and Gallantmon.

Digimon Card Game: The 10 Best Decks

We take a look at the best decks in the Digimon trading card game.

Not only are the pullable cards usually the ones that hold their high value, but Bandai’s officially sanctioned, large-scale events give the most hardcore of players an opportunity to earn some high rarity cards that will only be available to the best in the game.

10 Mastemon ACE (Textured) - $383.25

The Angel And Devil Jogress

In EX06 Infernal Ascension, Mastemon received a slew of support with an ACE card to top it all off. Every ACE card in the set was printed in a full single-color foil, and as a fan-favorite Digimon from the Cyber Sleuth series, Mastemon’s price tag was sure to skyrocket.

Even though the deck is not a top contender in the meta by any means, its loyal following and beautiful design will have collectors shelling out the cash for a while.

9 Imperialdramon: Paladin Mode ACE (Textured) - $417.86

High Contrast And High Power

Out of all the textured alternate arts that came from BT17 Secret Crisis, Imperialdramon: Paladin Mode is by far one of the best ones. All of the other ACE cards have a mono-colored foil, while this one has a black and white color scheme, similar to the early “ghost rares” in the Digimon Card Game.

Not only does the card have a beautiful contrast of black and white, but the strategically placed color swooshes represent both Jogressed Digimon, ExVeemon, and Stingmon in an incredible and synchronous manner.

8 Gallantmon: Crimson Mode ACE (Textured) - $420.90

The Crimson Royal Knight Is Here To Take Your Money

Although the Imperialdramon: Paladin Mode from the same set is far better looking, and a way cooler Digimon, Gallantmon is a highly popular ‘mon which translates directly to a high price tag for a red foil chase card like this one.

Digimon Card Game: 10 Most Valuable Cards From EX06: Infernal Ascension

The Seven Demon Lords make Infernal Ascension a must-have Digimon Card Game set.

Both cards are quite valuable at over $400, and being from the same set, it's a safe bet to buy Secret Crisis if you’re looking to pull either one of them. At a $3 difference, the market could fluctuate in any card’s favor any day.

7 Omnimon (Alternate Art) - $452.81

The First Ghost Rare

Starting with BT06 Double Diamond, Bandai began to print alternate art reprints of fan-favorite Digimon cards with a high contrast foil, known by the community as “ghost rares.” The first of this set of cards was the mighty Omnimon, and as the only ghost rare that has consistently kept the over $400 price tag, it may be worth a pickup.

Anyone who plays or collects the game knows about this card. Even though there are cards that are far more valuable, this Omnimon is by far the most iconic.

6 EmperorGreymon (Ultimate Cup 2024) - $707.50

You Have To Be A Great Player To Earn This One

Ultimate Cup tournaments are high-level competitive events that Bandai uses to experiment with the current format. Whether they have a limited banlist or a mono-colored format, you never know what Bandai will enact in these events.

During the 2024 run of Ultimate Cups, the prizing theme was based on Digimon Frontier’s Hybrid Digimon, and the prizing for achieving top eight was this beautiful EmperorGreymon card. Being such a limited card only awarded to the best players makes this the highest rarity available for EmperorGreymon.

5 Magnamon (X Antibody) (Textured) - $851.86

Triple Colored And Triple The Price

As the first triple-colored card in the Digimon Card Game, Magnamon (X Antibody) made a huge splash in the meta and the collectors market during the BT16 Beginning Observer format. Upon the release of the set, Magnamon received three different versions of the card, but this fully gold-foiled beast is sure to empty your pockets in one fell swoop.

Beginning Observer focuses on Digimon's Adventure 02 Digidestined, and has some very valuable cards.

The powerful Royal Knight is prominently featured on the card, almost staring down into your soul with its menacing gold-filled eyes.

4 UlforceVeedramon (DC-1 Grand Prix) - $998.00

One Of The First Prize Cards

During the Digimon Card Game’s infancy, high-scale tournaments, like Ultimate Cups, were not set in place just yet. Instead, the DC-1 Grand Prix was set in place during 2021. The event, similarly to Ultimate Cups, had a prizing theme and this was Veemon and his final evolution, the mighty UlforceVeedramon.

This card was awarded to players who were able to achieve top eight in the tournament, and with only 11 DC-1 Grand Prix events held around the world, this card is highly sought after.

3 Gankoomon (2023 World Championship Participation Prize) - $1,000

World-Caliber Players Only

The Digimon Card Game World Championship is the most coveted event in professional play. Only the top two players of each national event can travel to Japan to participate against the best around the world. By entering the tournament, players received this incredible Gankoomon card, with Digital Code, the written language used in the Digital World instead of English or Japanese.

The card is not playable in any officially sanctioned tournaments due to its being in a made-up language, but its prestige alone is worth the money.

The top three players at the World Championship received other Digital Code prize cards. These are extremely rare and being that they are only one of each in existence, they would surely be worth more than every card in the list combined.

2 Imperialdramon: Paladin Mode (Ultimate Cup 2023) - $1,500

The Older The Ultimate Cup, The Better

Trophy cards will always go for exorbitant amounts of money. As the top eight prize for the 2023 edition of Ultimate Cup, Imperialdramon Paladin Mode could get you out of a financial pickle if you own one and need to sell.

Since Bandai rotates its prize structure with every iteration of Ultimate Cup, it’s safe to say that the Imperialdrmaon prize card won’t ever make a comeback, meaning its price will steadily increase in prize the more time passes on, and more Ultimate Cups are held.

1 Omnimon (Ultimate Cup 2022) - $2,750

The Most Iconic Digimon Holds The Top Spot

One of the most popular Digimon and one of the most iconic, this Omnimon card was only awarded to the very best of players during the 2022 Ultimate Cup season. Just like Imperialdramon Paladin Mode, this card is no longer available, but due to its popularity as a Digimon and significance within the card game itself, Omnimon is one of the most prestigious cards a player can own. While it probably won’t be as hard to find as a Worlds prize card, its prize tag will hurt the bottom line quite a bit.
