Q1: If I don't delete an opponent's Digimon for this card's Main effect, can I use the part of the effect after "then" to have this Digimon attack?
Yes, it can attack.
Q2: Can I pay just 1 cost for this card's Main effect?
No, you can't. A "by" condition can't be met if only some of the required actions are performed. The conditions for this Main effect require you to pay 3 cost.
Q3: Can I process the part of the effect after "then" in this card's Main effect without meeting the "by" condition?
No, you can't. If you don't pay 3 cost, the part after "then" in this card's Main effect won't let this Digimon attack.
Q4: My opponent has a level 5 or lower Digimon. Can I meet the "if this effect didn't delete" condition in this card's Main effect by not choosing a card to delete?
No, you can't. If your opponent has a level 5 or lower Digimon, you must choose that card and delete it.
Q5: My opponent has a level 5 or lower Digimon. Can I meet the "if this effect didn't delete" condition in this card's Main effect by choosing an opponent's level 5 or lower Digimon with an effect that prevents deletion?
Yes, you can.
Q6: Can I activate this card's Main effect even when my opponent doesn't have any Digimon that can be deleted?
Yes, you can.
