New Set
Blackfeather Dragon's effect has jus been released...rather disappointing. maybe some people can come up with some combos...
on the other hand, there will be 3 new black feathers! hurray! and a new blackfeather spell and trap card!

According to the anime effects,

Blackfeather Shoot
Discard 1 "Blackwing" monster from your hand. Destroy 1 face-up Defense Position monster your opponent controls.

Black Thunder
Activate when a Blackwing monster you control is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard. Inflict 400 points of damage to your opponent for each card they control.

not tat impressive...

what about the monsters?

BF- ghibli the hot wind
When an opponent's monster declares a Direct attack, you can Special Summon this card from your hand.

the attack isnt known at this point...so....we shall see...its defence is 1600 though

the other 2 are not known...so...

X-Saber Beat: How To Play?



*note that this deck is somewhat incomplete...due to various reasons like the lack of emmersblade*

Monsters:
3 XX-Saber Faultroll
3 XX-Saber Gardestrike
1 Giant Rat
1 Rescue Cat
2 XX-Saber Fulhelmknight
3 XX-saber Reijigra
2 X-Saber Passiul
1 Card Trooper
3 X-Saber Airbellum
1 Lightlord Lyla
2 Lightlord Ryko

Magic:
1 Mind Control
1 One For One
2 Saber Slash
1 Heavy Storm
1 Giant Trunade
1 Brain Control
1 Scapegoat
3 Charge of the light brigade

Trap:
3 Saber Hole
2 Gatmuz Urgent Orders
1 Call of the Haunted
1 Limit Reverse
1 Trapdust Shoot
1 Mirror Force



Extra Deck:
2 XX-saber Gatmuz
1 XX-saber Hyunlay
1 Arcanite Magician
1 Natural Beast
1 Natural Balkion
1 Natural Landols
1 Stardust Dragon
1 AOJ Catastor
1 Ancient Fairy Dragon
1 Blackrose dragon
1 X-saber Urbellum
1 Red Daemon Dragon
1 Goyou Guardian
1 Brionac dragon of ice boundary


This deck simply follows the principle of Recycle, Reuse and Reduce!
Recycle - Get back cards from the grave quickly
Reuse - To abuse the cards that are obtained back from the grave
Reduce - Reduce opponents LP and hand i guess!

Strengths:

1) Fast Synchro. Ability to synchro quickly, with aid from the 7 tuners, mind/brain control, scapegoat, gardestrike etc. Synchro is a must for this deck.

2) Easily load up grave fast enough for combos with cards such as the lightlords, charge of the light brigade, card trooper.

3) Good Synergy with graveyard. Reijigra, call of haunted, limit reverse, gatmuz urgent orders, and of course the main 'hand discarding' combo for the deck.

4) Right amount of destructioon cards like ryko, lyla, heavy storm, saber slash etc

Weaknesses:

1) Only can normal summon 1 monster per turn problem. Sometimes you can set up the 'discard entire hand' combo but limited by the fact that you only can normal summon once per turn. You also need 2 X-sabers on the field for faultroll. Thus, Gardestrike usually solves the problem due to his special summon ability. One for One also works wonders, special summoning reijigra and getting back a X-saber from your grave.

2) Reliance on graveyard. once your opponent stops your graveyard with dimension fissure etc...thats not really much you can do...it will then depend on how lucky you are to draw that saber slash/heavy storm or how u manage to setup your field...


Combos/fun facts:

1) For those who are VERY outdated...the main and infamous combo! 'discard entire hand'. Basically this can work in many scenarios. It can work on your first turn too. What you need: 2 XX-saber faultroll and 1 XX-saber Reijigra!


Example of first turn combo:
1. Activate One for One, discarding faultroll to special summon reijigra, thus returning the faultroll to hand
2. summon X-saber airbellum/XX-saber fulhelmknight
3. special summon 2 faultrolls from your hand
4. synchro XX-saber faultroll and X-saber airbellum/XX-saber fulhelmknight for XX-Saber Gatmuz
5. Activate Gatmuz's effect, tributing XX_saber Reijigra to discard one card from your opponent's hand
6. Activate faultroll's effect, special summoning reijigra from grave!
7. Reijigra will then grab the other faultroll in your grave back to your hand!
8. Special summon the other faultroll to the field
9. Tribute the other faultroll who has already used up its effect and reijigra to discard 2 cards!
10. Repeat process by using faultroll's reviving effect again!
11. Carry on till your opponent no card left in hand! Plus you have a full field and some cards left in your hand!


2) you can simply summon rescue cat, send it to grave to summon out 2 airbellums, then spam faultroll rape!

3) scapegoat, card trooper are all earth types! that means.....Natural family!!! Yes im toking about Natural Beast, natural Balkion and Natural Landols! Fun stuff!

How to summon Beast: passiul + scapegoat tokens/card trooper
How to summon Balkion: Airbellum/Fulhelmknight + card trooper/scapegoat tokens
How to summon Landols: passiul + Gardestrike or Airbellum/Fulhelmknight + scapegoat tokens!

imagine special summoning Gardestrike, normal summon card trooper, dump 3 to raise attack to 1900, activate gatmuz urgent orders, revive passiul and airbellum, rape opponent by attacking with everything, then main phase 2 synchro out Natural balkion and natural landols! or synchro out stardust and natural beast! or u can revive 2 passiul to synchro out landols and beast! im jus sayin...


Although first turn combo might not work that often, the hand discarding combo will usually work in mid-game, as a result of quickly dumping the required materials into the grave and with the help of tons of recycling card effects, allowing you to easily pull off the combo. It is quite to spam the field by turn 2 or turn 3, so...well it kinda depends on luck i guess. but then again, what isnt dependent on luck?


Card Review:


XX-Saber Faultroll

The somewhat 'most' important and abusive monster in the deck. Reviving ability is just gay and awesome. 2400 ATK can kill a lot of monsters and since its level 6, easy synchro with level 3 Fulhelmknight or Airbellum for Gatmuz, or synchro with level 2 Passiul for level 8 synchros! Usually the main target for Reijigra's effect, returning him to hand, then either summon him to swarm the field, or pull off the mighty hand discard combo!


XX-Saber Gardestrike

Somewhat similar to Cyber dragon...5 stars, easy synchro for level 8 monsters. Ryko and friends help dump X-sabers into the grave for this baby to be summoned! Important card due to its special summoning ability, thus u can then summon another X-saber, then summoning Faultroll from hand.


Giant Rat

Nothing much, simply to search out rescue cat, or any other X-sabers u need at the moment


Rescue Cat

Summons out airbellum and ryko for synchroing, or u can also summon 2 airbellums, then special summon faultroll, then continue with the gay abuse etc


XX-Saber Fulhelmknight

level 3 tuner! once again for synchroing purposes. The good thing is its negating effect. To be able to negate an attack means survival and it being alive means that u can summon another X-saber next turn then carry on with faultroll rape!


X-Saber Passiul

now passiul is a good card here. level 2 tuner tunes with faultroll for level 8 synchros and tunes with Gardestrike for level 7 synchros. With this card, you can tune out the any of the Natural family! Good thing that scapegoat tokens are earth type! its stalling effect is also good, another setup for faultroll!


Card Trooper/Ryko/Lyla/Charge of Light Brigade

All hav dumping purposes. Dump dump dump, load graves with X-sabers, rape with discard hand combo, or rape even more with the powerful Gatmuz urgent orders! Speaking of Gatmuz urgent orders, u can even revive your opponent's X-sabers! u can also activate gatmuz urgent orders if your opponent controls an X-saber or more. U can also revive 1 X-saber from your grave and another from your opponent's


Saber Slash/Heavy Storm

Cards to help get rid of irritating stuff. kill off that stupid dimension fissure or oppression! monsters will too high attack? rape them with saber slash!


Saber Hole

Free 'Solemn'. enough said.


Limit Reverse/Call of the haunted

Limit reverse and call of the haunted help speed up the deck, bringing out ur 1st X-saber monster for u to summon another then bring out faultroll. They both help re-abuse rescue cat and my favourite, card trooper! summon card trooper, dump 3, opponent destroy it, u draw 1, activate limit reverse/COTH, dump another 3 and when its destroyed u draw 1 again! good way to dump quickly . Limit reverse and COTH also can revive reijigra, allowing u to hav a +1. Or u can also revive Passiul for synchro purposes etc.


Some of you might be wondering why i dont choose to play XX-saber Galsem. Main reason is cause its effect is hard to pull off. If its effect activates if its destroyed by battle, then obviously it will be broken, being able to search out even faultroll! But too bad it has to be destroyed by a card effect.


On the other hand, i cant wait for the upcoming XX-saber Emmersblade. If its destroyed by battle, u can special summon a level 4 of below X-saber monster. Good cos it will always allow u to hav an X-saber on the field, for the setup to summon faultroll. Also, special summon reijigra and u get a +1. Best part of it, finally its a level 3 NON TUNER. yes! Hyunlay! Hyunlay no doubt is a powerful card, but due to the lack of good level 4 and below non tuner X-saber cards, it doenst see much play. but with the release of emmersblade, synchro emmersblade and fulhelmknight/airbellum for hyunlay and blow away cards for free!


Finally, i conclude this review of X-sabers! Will update on X-sabers again once emmersblade is out! Really hope more X-saber supports will be released! Feel free to help me edit and provide more insight on X-sabers in the tagboard! =)
D-Synchro!

Extra Deck:

11 Synchros of your choice!


My favourite deck! how to play? simple! this deck can be really fun. From drawing a lot to synchroing a lot and removing threats!

Combos:

1) Future Fusion, send devilguy and treeborn frog to the grave. Diabolicguy in grave means either synchro or tribute for Gaius!

2) Polymerization, send both diabolicguy and treeborn frog to grave for absolute zero! Not enough? Remove Diaboliicguy to special summon another from your deck, normal summon Deepsea Diva and special summon another deepsea diva from deck. Synchro Diabolicguy and deepsea diva for wadeva level 8. Finally, Miracle Fusion, removing diabolicguy and deepsea diva from grave to summon another absolute zero!

3) The tokens work wonders. Flame of Demise is there for tribute fodders for Gaius. Also, the token cards work for Bloo-D. The last trick is with Cyber Vary! remove vary and a token to draw 2 cards!

4) Example of token abuse: Opponent turn, activate scapegoat. Your turn, summon cyber vary, remove vary and a token to draw 2 cards. Then activate Different Dimension Revival, discarding treeborn frog/Diabolicguy/Dashguy/Dandelion, and special summon back cyber vary! remove vary and another token to draw 2 cards again....

5) Favourite combo of all time! Polymerization, fuse Bloo-D and Dogma together! Summon the ultimate Dragoon D End! The combo doenst end from here. You can carry on with a lot of tricks, like maybe summoning deepsea diva, summoning spined gillman from deck, synchroing them for AOJ catastor. Then activating Miracle fusion, removing Bloo-D/Dogma and Spined Gillman/Deepsea Diva to summon absolute zero!

Cant wait for PP12! Parallel World Fusion FTW!!!
2010 Upcoming Anime Review!

Its 2010! start of a new year, thus the new blog look!

New 2010 animes are released, including:



Animes I look forward to:
1) Dararara!

watched the first episode already, not a fantastic start, but i'm sure that it will get even more interesting. Heard from someone that the manga series is awesome. Will definitely carry on watching this!

2) Dance in the Vampire Bund

also watched the first episode. Pretty cool. The style is different. Overall quite exciting for a start. Will carry on watching this too :)

3) Sora no Woto

First episode didnt quite interest me... its basically about girls playing music i guess? The animation is somewhat similar to that of K-On... hmm...might consider dropping this if it doenst improve..

4) Chu-Bra

Hilarious. Perverted. Really fun to watch.

5) Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu

I loved the first episode. Cant wait to see how class F defeats all the other classes! contains lots of comedy and a little ecchi too =D

6) Omamori Himai

Hmm...the starting reminded me of Asura Cryin...hope it doesnt turn out to be like Asura Cryin (which i dropped sometime after 10 eps) shall continue watching it for now.

7) Ookami Kakushi

Looks awesome. Cant wait for it.

Well, these are the reviews for the recent released animes. More are still to come.
Will update once they r releaed!

Side Note: im starting to get a bit pissed with KHR. I know it is following the storyline with a bit of fillers and stuff. but...its seriously too slow. Every episode is kinda short and the entire episode is filled up with Haru and Kyoko's whining...hope the fights will start asap...

YGO 5D is starting to sidetrack a little with all the Kiryuu thing...Get done with it and move on to the main plot of the season already!!!
