[Extra deck and side deck of your own choices]

After testing with my X-Saber draft which can be found here, I finished my X-Saber deck yesterday and started testing since then. Doing quite well against the whole meta aside from Wind-Up (you see, I play no hand traps now, explanation below...)

I reduced Ryko to 1 because killing 1 Laggia/Thunder King is often enough for me to go off. I play 3 Hamsters (explanation in the previous post about X-Saber), so I virtually play 4 Rykos, enough?

Enemy Controllers deal with Thunder King Rai-Oh and other low-defense monster. And sometime I take my opponent's big monster and attack for game. Not so often, but there're times.

Saber Slash serves the same purpose: getting rid of annoying monster, and also Skill Drain, Macro Cosmos, Necrovalley,... Simplify your mind: If you can use 1 card to destroy your opponent's 2-3 cards, WITHOUT FEAR OF STARLIGHT ROAD, just go for it.

Trap line-up is still the same, I'm pretty pleased with it, at least for now and with the current meta,

To summarize, I basically swap the Wind-Up and Dino Rabbit hates for more common anti-Saber hate. It's your choice, and of course the cards I swapped out (1 Ryko, 3 Maxx "C") now stay in my side deck.

That's it. Really hope an X-Saber deck will top YCS Indianapolis, like the deck that topped San Antonio Regional recently.

Comments are appreciated, as always xD

  1. I think 3 Gottoms Emergency Call is too much
    And 3 Boggart Knight and 3 Fautroll,too.You can go for Hamster,then set Darksoul.That means with 3 Hamster,you'll add a lot of X-Saber,so you don't have to max out all of it
