Tamaseed is a card type.

Details[]

It was first mentioned on the Luna Daybreak Sigma card in DMEX-18 20th Anniversary Huge Thanks Memorial Pack: The Chapter of The Shadow Parallel Masters; however, no card with the card type was released in that set.

The card type was later introduced in the DMSD-20 King Master Start Deck: Joe's Star Max Evolution and DMSD-21 King Master Start Deck: Abaku's Oni RexStars decks before their inclusion in the DMRP-21 Oni Yaba Counterattack Star Max!! booster pack.

Each Tamaseed has the Shinkarise keyword that allows you to put evolution creatures on them as if they were a creature (This also includes Neo Evolution).

Shinkarise: You may put evolution creatures on this tamaseed as if it were a creature.

Each Tamaseed also has at least 2 races, one being either RexStars or Oni RexStars (paired with Demonio).

Nomenclature[]

Their suffix is also dependent on their civilization (unless they have the Jokers or Oni RexStars race).

  • For a full list of cards that support Tamaseeds, see here.

Rules[]

  • Q: What is a Tamaseed?
    • A: This is a new card type. If you use it, it will be put into the battle zone. After using its abilities, it stays in the battle zone, but unlike a creature, it has no power and can't attack. As it isn't a creature, it also can't be attacked by your opponent's creatures and can't be chosen by abilities that destroy creatures such as Terror Pit. source [2022.4.8]

General Rules[]

  • Tamaseeds can be in the tapped or untapped state in the battle zone. (105.4a)
    • When they evolve or are rebuilt, they inherit the previous state.
    • While they are a Non-Creature Card, this is due to the Comprehensive Rules Update on Rebuilding. (801.4b)
  • At the start of your turn, they untap like creatures. (501.1.)
  • The keyword action for this card type is "use". (701.5a)
  • Continuous effects that are applied to a card continue to apply to them, even if the characteristics are inappropriate.
    • For example, you have a Star Evolution Creature that evolved over a Tamaseed, and it then had its power decreased by 12000. During that turn, even though its a tamaseed that doesn't have power, it continues to remember that it had its power decreased by 12000. If you use it as an evolution source in the same turn, the evolved creature will immediately have its power reduced by 12000.
    • Even cards that aren't creatures can be given abilities such as "blocker" or "speed attacker" by abilities such as New World Order (source ). As a tamaseed, these abilities have no usage, but by evolving them and inheriting them, they can be used.
  • It can be counted as "one creature" (体) while in the battle zone with its Shinkarise ability. In all other situations, its counted as a "card" (枚).
    • It doesn't support the Sympathy abilities of cards that count the number of races. However, abilities that say "If you have ____ (race)" or "When ____ (race) is destroyed" or "If you have 5 civilization cards in the battle zone" can be referenced as "体" is not written.

Specific Card Rules[]

  • Q: When I use Viola's Shadow, can I remove a seal from FORBIDDEN SUNRISE ~Dawn of Forbidden~?
    • A: No, you can't remove a seal. Tamaseed isn't a creature, so using it isn't considered a "Summon". source [2022.4.8]
  • Q: Can the "when you put" ability of Jaouga, Finality King Oni destroy the creatures and tamaseeds under my opponent's evolution creatures?
    • A: No, they can't be destroyed. The characteristics of any cards under a creature are ignored. Therefore the effect of destroying creatures and tamaseeds doesn't allow you to choose creatures or tamaseeds under a card. source [2022.4.8]
  • Q: What happens to the cross gear that was crossed, weapon that was equipped or attached aura to an evolution creature when the top card of an evolution creature leaves, and a tamaseed remains in the battle zone after Rebuilding?
    • A: The cross will be uncrossed and stay in the battle zone, and the weapon will be put into the hyperspatial zone. (Note: No information is mentioned about Aura. It is likely removed as it only attaches to creatures.) source [2022.4.8]
  • Q: With the "when you put" ability of Slotton's Memory, I evolved Shield Knight (Absolute Star) and gave it "Blocker". If 'Shield Knight (Absolute Star)' leaves the battle zone during the same turn, does the 'Slotton's Memory' tamaseed still have 'Blocker'?
    • A: Yes, it has the 'Blocker' ability. After an evolution creature has been given an effect, if the creature becomes a Tamaseed during that turn by rebuilding, the effect isn't lost. However, as Tamaseed isn't a creature type, you can't block with it, and it can't be referenced by an effect that specifies a 'creature that has "blocker"'. In that turn, if 'Slotton's Memory' evolves, the evolution creature will get 'Blocker'. source [2022.4.8]
  • Q: Can I choose the Smapon's Memory under my opponent's Shield Knight (Absolute Star) and destroy it with the "when you put" ability of Akkan Perocket?
    • A: Yes, you may put them into the graveyard. Tamaseeds under evolution creatures are also non-creature cards. source [2022.4.8]
  • Q: When Orlilia (Petro Star) evolved over Smapon's Memory leaves the battle, the 'Star Evolution' only removes the top card instead. can the 'Smapon's Memory' stay in the battle after Rebuilding?
    • A: Yes, you may leave it. source [2022.4.8]
