X-Sabers (Asia format) Update

Its been a while since I've done any update to my X-saber deck aside from changing it to the current ban list. I'm under the impression that X-sabers are one of the worst decks you can play at the moment because Inzektors are running around everywhere, and even now, I still fill the same.

One of the main reasons why I think this deck would suck is because everyone either plays Inzektors (where this deck's main card, Emmersblade, is useless against) or side into Macro Cosmos. Making every match I would face a total nightmare. I was planning to not run this deck as long as Inzektors are tier 1, but decide against it, since it would be fun to run the underdog.

I only mained 1 copy of MST because the deck has Hyunlei as backrow hate. MSTs main purpose would be to get rid of Macro Cosmos and Dimension Fissure.

Creature Swap is a card that I really love in X-sabers. Whenever I played it, I always win that game, ALWAYS. With Creature Swap, I don't have to set Emmersblade all that often and that leaves Darksoul as the only target for Hornet to pop. As everyone knows, Creature Swap and Emmersblade is a terrifying combo, simple, basic, but causes massive damage.

Assuming your opponent has no backrow, whatever the reason. A Creature Swap and Emmersblade will not only get rid of your opponent's monster, but also a card in hand, thanks to Airbellum. That might not seem like much, but if you add to the fact that Veiler can't stop this and the fact that Sabers's main play style is to slowly but steadily get rid of your opponent's resources, this can be devastating.

Darksoul and Card-Car are both cards that gain you advantage, sure, you might start slower in comparison to something like Hieratics, but once your combo goes off, you are would almost always win. Unlike Hieratic, where if something goes wrong, you lose; this problem is not present in Sabers. Even if the combo is somehow stopped (I'm taking Gottom's Loop), you are still generating advantage through Darksoul. If your going against a combo deck like Hieratics, rest assured that once the Gottom's loop goes off, you win. No doubt there.

Still, this deck's greatest weakness would be Dino Rabbit. Dino Rabbit have access to not only Macro, but also Dimension Fissure. And combined with a Laggia at the front, its one of the toughest walls to beat.

Now, do I think this deck is good? No doubt. But would I run it? No way! This is the fate of tier 2's, they are too dependent on what the tier 1s are. When a tier 2 is not hurt at all by the tier 1s and side deck cards people play against the tier 1s, it will do good. But its a whole different story the other way round. As long as Macro Cosmos sees a lot of plays, this deck can never top anything (big).

Oh, this build is basically geared towards taking on the Asian format META.
