okay...
XX-saber monster.... Hopefully not just a trash...

TheDarkAngelRocket - 18. Jul, 14:44

XX-Saber Gardestrike

OK... XX-Saber monster- it can either suck very, very much (especially like how Koaki Meiru War Arms was handled) or it can be very, very good.

Rokrekler - 18. Jul, 15:31

I hope this better be something in the way like grandmaster sixsam was a good card i.e. "you can special summon this card while you control at least 1 X-Saber monster". That would be so awesome, it'd make catsynch even more broken (read: level 8 synchro monster first turn+XX-Saber Faultroll easy summon)

J4B0i - 18. Jul, 16:44

Yo shriek, hurry up and find out what this card does, you can do it!

SavrCosmicFighter - 18. Jul, 17:03

I wonder...

well his stats look good so far but a card can be changed from good to bad based on his effect...it should be something around X-Saber swarming though...i hope...

SavrCosmicFighter - 18. Jul, 17:36

I can make that work

now that is a much better promo than Battlestorm...and its a good card post-TT or Black Rose field sweep..also good for instant lv.6-9 if played properly (lv.9 is XX-Saber Gottoms)

Rakstar - 18. Jul, 20:19

Hmmm...

That's actually pretty decent. I can see one or two copies being played in Saber Cat (IF it takes off in the TCG, which I kinda see happening). Much better than Battlestorm... whose only real use came from using Swallow's Nest. ._.

SheikTheGeek - 18. Jul, 20:33

Synchro Cat IS the meta right now in the TCG

It will more than likely see play, its very Cyber Dragon like. (stat-wise) And its condition isnt hard to be met at all.

TheDarkAngelRocket - 19. Jul, 00:10

Gardestrike

This card is a "X-Saber" version of Cyber Dragon. However, its use only exists in such decks.
Fortunately this card is a Level 5, the perfect level of any non-tuner monster in the game.

SynjoDeonecros - 19. Jul, 00:49

This card's effect actually makes sense, because it's clearly made tow work with one X-Saber card newly introduced: Gottom's Urgent Orders. Special Summon Gardestrike, activate GUO, summon out two of the X-Sabers in your graveyard, then - depending on the kind of X-Sabers summoned, tune for XX-Saber Gottoms or X-Saber Urbellum, or summon out XX-Saber Faultroll for a huge attack.

hamsterworld - 19. Jul, 01:24

reANPR-ENSP1 XX-Saber Gardestrike

great if you run xsabers .

Megda - 19. Jul, 02:38

....Side Deck?

Well, I don't see the reason why a X-Saber Deck should run Gardestrike in a Main Deck. Personally I will try him out but in the end this Card will end in the X-Saber Side Deck.

bherrell2 - 19. Jul, 07:33

For the record

Broinac is coming to the TCG in Duelist Pack Julia later this year, it will have Dragons and Dinos in the pack...

Just had to say it, since shriek doesnt have it yet.

*Winks

Megda - 19. Jul, 12:06

Source?

Would be awesome if your information isn't fake^^' Could you proof it somehow?

And who the hell is Julia??? o.O

Dragon King - 19. Jul, 16:13

I hope Broinac dosen't come!!
I had to go fight it in SDA for th DS!
It's like Snipe Hunter,only worst!!!
With Snipe Hunter,you send a card form your hand and roll a dice.
But with Broinac,just throw away your cards and attack!!
Both you need to have cards you willing to lose to win.
Snipe destroys cards and Broinac,just sand them back to you or your
opponents hand. It works well on high level monters,Synchros and Fusions.

TriforceMaster3000 - 19. Jul, 18:28

Nah

Fail rumors are fail.

Anyways, this is a nice card. It can actually see play outside of X Saber decks, since synchro cat and glads and other decks that use Airbellum run him in 3s. 2 in the grave, this guy is a free summon.

mitchbleach - 19. Jul, 17:01

Gardestrike isn't too bad.............but no Grandmaster

brain_master - 19. Jul, 19:53

this card kind of sucks man they keep making fake cyber dragons they should bring him back up to 3 instead of making these crappy cards

Vanilla-Warrior - 20. Jul, 01:29

X-sabers

X-sabers will be good, especially if rescue cat manages to evade the ban-hammer come september. Gardestrike is somewhat splashable, but with his fellow sabers, he's amazing. He and airbellem + faultroll = lv. 8 synchro, + Faultroll + gardestrike or airbellum. cool stuff.

brain_master - 20. Jul, 02:24

nah rescue cat will be hit hard either ban or limit

which will completely slow the deck down

EvilHero90 - 20. Jul, 22:00

oh dnt think so man.. i think september means bye bye kitty XD i y see rescue cat banned.. not even limited... banned! its to much.. and even with one is more than enough since we already got summoner monk on TCG so one is enough and we run pot of avarice... so enjoy it as long as u can cuase it's a sure banned card in the next list >.<

bherrell2 - 20. Jul, 05:29

i can somewhat provide proof

Go to facebook, add Jason Meyer as a friend.

Then look at his wall from a couple days ago.......

I would assume Jason Meyer is telling the few 400 some friends on facebook bullshit.

Dragon King - 20. Jul, 15:36

Kind of wish it was a Warrior-Type....work a hell of alot better in the deck,i'm working on.

Megda - 20. Jul, 16:07

Proxy test run....

so I did some test runs with Gardestrike in a pure X-Saber Deck. First I thought Faultroll (also an XX-Saber in ANPR) and Gardestrike would have problems to work in the same Deck, but in the end I only can recommend Gardestrike to anyone who wants to play a pure X-Saber Deck.

Johnist - 21. Jul, 10:50

LOL X-Sabers...

Now that we have X-Sabers, and XX-Sabers, will they be making XXX-Sabers? (ROFLMAO).

Or are the XXX-Sabers gonna remain OCG Only if they ever get released with "naughty" pics?

Anyways, for Cards that refer to "Saber" you can use Saber Beetle, and "X-Saber" counts "XX-Saber" as well.

SavrCosmicFighter - 3. Aug, 15:57

i did a test run with it as well...and let's just say that the ppl i played hated my deck's swarming capabilities post-field sweep, etc lol

brain_master - 22. Jul, 03:48

yup am going

gonna try to land in the top 8 to get a matt
anybody else going?

bherrell2 - 23. Jul, 06:43

no

nobody is going........noone else in the entire world can make it.

Megda - 23. Jul, 15:32

maybe...

well I will go to the sneak peek event, as long as konami will not forget my nearest hobby store again.

Dragon King - 23. Jul, 15:49

Arcana Knight Joker and Armityle the Chaos Phantom!!

I was hoping Arcana Knight Joker and Armityle the Chaos Phantom would come out someday......about time if you ask me...lol
AKJ,will be easy....it's Armityle the Chaos Phantom that will be hard to summon!!! I have a hard time just getting one of the three monsters needed to make him out.
alot of plays say,IF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT CARDS,YOU CAN DO IT...easy for them to say...lol

brain_master - 25. Jul, 23:51

yeah a store near my house is having it so am going

bherrell2 - 23. Jul, 21:43

o.O

Well the fucked up the name of Vayu, anyways.

The Joker thing is impossible to get out, even if you do his effect isnt THAT good since your hand prolly wont have monsters, spells, and traps often.

The big artmitle thing is cool as hell, I could actually see him coming out with Prisma and Phantom of Chaos. Wouldnt be suprised if we saw an OTK deck with him of some sort.

SavrCosmicFighter - 23. Jul, 21:48

FINALLY!!!!

took long enough for them 2 come out...now we just need White Night Dragon among other cards *_* duel terminals *_* lol

bherrell2 - 24. Jul, 07:35

White Knight

is just broke....he will rape with ReDMD.

Just realized, you can use Limit Reverse with Artymle, use that one old card to pay 3000 to send a fusion monster to the grave, then Limit Reverse into it. Boost by 10K. GG bitches.

ShinobiPhoenix - 25. Jul, 23:18

@bherrell2

You know very well that won't work.

You can't summon a Fusion or Synchro monster from the Graveyard or RFG that was improperly summoned or wasn't summoned at all. The game has always been that way.

No dumping and reborning Fusion monsters, else it would have been done years ago with every other Fusion, let alone Armityle which isn't even a new card in of itself. Most that people try to do is Phantom of Chaos it and use that ATK power to boost for a non-battle combo of their own design. Another reason Ring of Destruction is still banned (Phantom into Armityle, Ring of Destruction-Chain Hane Watapon).

You could also try to GIVE that 10K ATK boost to another monster. You can also Mystik Wok choosing its ATK (yes, that's legal, it goes by current ATK/DEF when it was on the field) and you gain 10K Life Points.

brain_master - 26. Jul, 00:09

i better pull something from the packs

i hate seeing other people that suck pull cards i need in front of me

RiverShock - 27. Jul, 15:16

That sounds pretty selfish to me.

SavrCosmicFighter - 28. Jul, 05:35

maybe u should take a group of players ur comfortable with and buy packs and trade amongst urselves until u get what u need...it works really well actually
