The Digimon Card Game Classic Collection features art that was previously featured in the Digi-battle card game or other sources, but despite having a notable amount of art from the past, many important Digimon and other cards are strangely missing from the collection.

Whether these particular cards be from an anime series, corresponding movie, a digivolution line, various other Digimon media, or relevant to the origins of Digital Monsters, it seems it was decided that their inclusion was not considered to be as crucial as others despite any significance they may have to any of parts of the franchise.

10 To Champion

To Champion was a Digivolve card featuring Piximon performing his Pit Bomb attack. While Digivolve cards like this aren't present in the Digimon Card Game, To Champion's art could've been reused for either a new Option card or an alternate Piximon card since it isn't featured in the Classic Collection either.

To Champion was originally featured in the Series 1 Starter Set of the Digi-battle Card Game, meaning it was featured in the first deck that was released, so one would think the art would be more essential to include in the Classic Collection no matter what kind of card it was reused for.

9 Downgrade

The Classic Collection features a few cards that reuse art from Power Option cards first featured in the Digi-battle Card Game, but since the Digimon Card Game is quite different from its predecessors, the effects are changed to fit it.

One piece of previously used art that has yet to be reused is that of the card Downgrade, which features the Champion-level Digimon Gatomon adorably sitting in a box. Downgrade was featured in the Series 1 Starter Set of the Digi-battle Card Game, and even if it wasn't turned into a new option card, the art could still be used for an alternate Gatomon card.

8 Dark Network

The Power Option card Dark Network wasn't available until the release of the Series 3 booster pack, and by that time, most art featured on cards were changed to 3D renders, with Dark Network being one of few cards that kept the older art style. Dark Network features Bakemon, Phantomon, and Ogremon doing laundry.

This is odd since many Digimon, including Bakemon, don't wear clothes; if they do, it's always the same outfit. Reusing this art would go in line with the reused art featured on Fight For Your Pride, as both feature spooky Digimon in a silly way. This card may have been excluded since Phantomon and Bakemon aren't featured in the collection either.

7 Magnamon

Magnamon is a special golden Armor Digimon that digivolves from Veemon with the Digi-Egg of Miracles and had an integral role in defeating the Digimon Emperor and Kimeramon in Digimon Adventure 02 as well as defeating Cherubimon Vice in Digimon: The Movie, and was also a promotional movie card. Outside of Digimon Adventure 02, Magnamon later became a member of the Royal Knights.

Although there are no Armor Digimon featured in the Classic Collection, they are still present in many other sets of the Digimon Card Game, so it feels weird that Magnamon was left out. Veemon is also featured in the Classic Collection alongside its Champion-level digivolution ExVeemon, which makes Magnamon's exclusion even more confusing despite its significance.

6 Kerpymon

Kerpymon, more commonly known as Cherubimon, is the Mega-level digivolution of Lopmon and has two different forms, an evil form known as Cherubimon Vice and a good form known as Cherubimon Virtue. But Cherubimon, Lopmon, and their in-between digivolutions Wendigomon and Antylamon weren't included in the Classic Collection.

This is surprising since these Digimon debuted in the Digimon Movie and had promotional movie cards similar to Diaboromon and its digivolutions, which are included in the Classic Collection, and the English dub even made the Diaboromon virus the reason Kerpymon turned evil. A new version of these cards could also correct the name to Cherubimon, officially removing the Kerpymon name once and for all.

5 Rapidmon

The golden armor version of Rapidmon was another promotional movie card, as well as the first version of Rapidmon to debut and appeared in Digimon The Movie alongside Magnamon. Rapidmon's previous form Terriermon and its Champion form Gargomon, who also first debuted in the movie and had their own promotional movie cards, aren't featured in the Classic Collection either.

Like many Digimon in the Classic Collection, the golden armor version of Rapidmon has been represented in the Digimon Card Game before, but unlike other Digimon with many cards, Rapidmon only has a few, so adding one with its classic art could provide a great way to preserve its old artwork and to give Rapidmon another card to itself.

4 Sukamon

Sukamon is an infamous Digimon that looks like poop. In several Digimon World games, any Digimon can digivolve into Sukamon if its waste gauge is filled, while in the V-Pet series, Digimon can turn into Sukamon if their tamer doesn't clean up after them.

There are very few Sukamon cards in the Digimon Card Game, making it even stranger that this nasty yet iconic Digimon was excluded from the Classic Collection, particularly when there's other Digimon World and V-Pet representation in the set. Sukamon's partner-in-crime, Chuumon, doesn't have many cards to its name either, so at least it isn't alone in its exclusion.

3 Numemon

Numemon first debuted as a Champion-level Digimon for the original V-Pet and is a gross sewer-dwelling slime Digimon that predates Sukamon by about a year. Numemon was introduced in the first Digital Monster V-Pet as a backup Champion form for Agumon and Betamon when the requirements for the other featured Champion-level digivolutions had not been met.

Numemon has various cards in the Digimon Card Game, so why not include it with the V-Pet-inspired background? It feels bizarre that both Digimon known as the failed digivolutions were excluded in a set where several other cards reference the sources where their digivolution methods were introduced.

2 Veedramon

Veedramon was the original Greymon before splitting off and becoming its own separate Digimon. While it had a starring role in the Digimon V-tamer manga as the partner of Tai Kamiya, separate from the Digimon Adventure character, it wasn't significant in any anime series. However, its Mega-level digivolution UlforceVeedramon has received more attention due to being a member of the Royal Knights.

Veedramon has had several cards in the Digimon Card Game, with some specifically being cards of the V-tamer Veedramon, Zeromaru. Yet Veedramon's classic Digi-battle art was not reused in the Classic Collection for some reason. Veedramon also serves as an alternate Champion form for Agumon and Veemon, both of which are included in the Classic Collection.

1 Mamemon

Like Agumon, Tyrannomon, and Devimon, all featured in the Classic Collection, Mamemon first debuted on the original Digital Monster V-Pet as a possible digivolution, but at the time was one of the final digivolutions as Mega-level Digimon had not been added yet.

The original Mamemon card from the Digi-battle card game was released in the Series 2 Booster Pack, the last pack that didn't use 3D renders of Digimon stock art. With how vital Mamemon is to the franchise's history, one would think it would be included in the Classic Collection and have a purple V-Pet-inspired background like Tyrannomon, but it wasn't given that chance.
