First Style | |
---|---|
Points: • Icon in the upper-left denote whether it is a Program, Item or Field. • Below it is "+xx"; I don't know what that does/means. • The box that is Evolve Requirements on a Digimon Card, here is Timing (what Phase the Option can be played in). It may also state limits on how or where it can be played. • The card name can be either solid black or black with a white outline. • And then the main box describes what it does. Spans: • Starter Sets 1-4 (St-1 through St-324) • Ultimate Battle Set 1 • Booster Sets 1-9? (Bo-1 through Bo-405) | |
Second Style | |
Differences from First Style: • D-Scanner symbol on the lower-left of the art box. • DigiCode character followed by a three-digit number on the lower-right. Spans: • Starter Sets 5-7? (St-325 through St-613) (There are other sets that lay claim to numbers in this block, but I'm not sure what they are.) • Ultimate Battle Set 2 • Booster Sets 10?-14 (Bo-452 through Bo-702) | |
Third Style | |
Differences from Second Style: • Barcode! • Credits get shunted off to the side. • Basically, the bottom now looks the same as 3.5 Style Digimon Cards. Spans: • Starter Set 7 (St-672 through St-692) • Booster 12 | |
3.5 Style 1 | |
Differences from Third Style: • The barcode now extends to the bottom of the card. • There's a translucent box behind the credits. • Equivalent to 3.5.2 Digimon Cards. | |
3.5 Style 2 | |
Differences from 3.5 Style 1: • Some of the option cards from these sets are like 3.5 Style 1, others are like 3.5 Style 2! Mysterious. • This version has a translucent box akin to the 3.x Style of Digimon Cards. - Top left: Type of Option (Win Ratio, etc). - Top right: DigiCode character with 3-digit number. - Bottom: Flavor text. - Some cards do away with the bottom row entirely. The 3.5 Styles span: • Starter Sets 8-??? (St-752? through St-939) • Booster Sets 15-19 (Bo-703 through Bo-980) | |
Fourth Style | |
Differences from 3.5 Style: • No more D-Scanner symbol. • The two-line box from 3.5 Style 2 returns, kind of: - Top left is the Option type (Win Ratio, etc). - Top right is the cost to play the card. - Bottom lists limits on how, where or with what it can be played. • The art box is larger, shortening the text field even more. • Equivalent to Fourth Style Digimon Cards. Spans: • Starter Sets ???- (St-974? through St-?) • Booster Sets 19-24 (Bo-970 through Bo-1150) | |
Fourth Style - Red Frame | |
The Red Frame cards are not just recolors; there are some aesthetic differences. Differences from Fourth Style: • Different fonts are used; Red Frames utilize a blockier font. • The corners of the art field and the boxes within it are cut off (like BattleStar Galactica's cards). • If there is flavor text, it goes above the "stats box". • The texture used on the boxes in the art field is much smoother/not as prominent. Spans: All Red Frame cards I have seen. | |
4.5 Style | |
Differences from Fourth Style: • Removes the barcode. The box goes back to its original height, and the credits are listed at the bottom of the box. Spans: • Booster Sets 25+ (Bo-1177+) |
