X-Sabers

X-Saber's and the Meta Now
First, Shoutout's.Shotout to Valafar123.Cool guy, gave me and my youtube team, FtwTeamWar, a shoutout.
Onto the blog.X-Sabers, Last year's meta dominators, have won YCS Toronto and a few of it's side events.Even though a majority of great duelist didnt go, it still show's X-Sabers did not get destroyed by the ban list.Most duelist thought X-Sabers would be tier 1.5 come September 1st.But, in reality, they pretty much went untouched.Dont take me wrong, the loss of cat probally hurt, but it did not knock them out as one of the best deck.Now they have room for a whole new range of ideas.They lost cat, but now added Debris Dragon.They can synchro spam BRD and so many others due to the new banlist, and now dont have to waste room searching for cat.Monster Reborn and Dark Hole increase X-Sabers greatly like they increased every other deck.Most X-Saber decks run 3 darksoul and 3 airbellum still, but now main 3 fullhelm and 3 Emmersblade for more of a toolbox like effect.Only time will tell how good saber's will be this format.Id wait, Say, 2 months into the format before being completly sure about the matter.

Side Deck AGAINST Sabers.
Sabers have a HUGE weakness to macro like card effects, so first you would side 3 Dimensional Fissure.Next, if you really hate Sabers, side 2 Gottom's Emergency Call.Finally, you could side some starlight/MBAAS to stop there BRD Spamming.Those things should help against the saber match.

Side Deck FOR Sabers.
Sabers have problems with barely any decks, aside from anti-meta, but its always good to be prepared.Against gb you could side 2 Mirror Of Oaths.That card is ultimatly a +1.Against quickdraw me and some people side MBAAS, Starlight Road, and De-Synchro.They have drill warrior?Unsync it and make your own.Against Machina you would side 1 System Down and some Cyber dragons's.Against Herald, Lava Golem, LIM, and Volcanic Queen.Debris-Hime and Black-Salvo are problems to the deck, but like quickdraw, MBAAS, Starlight Road, And De-Synchro should do the trick.Blackwings are not really meta any more, so thats done.And against anti-meta, side 1-4-1, S&T Destruction, And occasionaly some Imperial Iron Wall.With a strong built side utilizing these card, your X-Saber deck should Dominate.Dont take me wrong, theres other deck's.This covers most of the meta.Regarding De-Synchro, you get your own free synchro summon, thats amazing.
