Yugioh Meta analysis post Shonen Jump..

Seeing how x-saber didn't top I can see X-saber Emmersblade go down in price. 

Why can't X-sabers top?

Well one thing I hear is that it has consistency issues. Alot of the cards need to be in certain numbers (like Fautroll Needs 2 monsters on field).

X-sabers don't really have an engine. You don't see x-sabers being splashed in any decks. You could put the LS engine in x-sabers but you can put it in other decks that do a better job with it. Their boss monster is good but not comparable to other boss monsters like JD or DAD. Overall x-sabers where overhyped to me but come Shinning darkness I can see them as more playable.

Edit: Wow x-sabers just got way better. X-saber Darksoul: If this card you control is sent to the Graveyard, during the End Phase, you can add 1 "X-Saber" Monster from your Deck to your Hand. 100/100 lvl 3 BEAST type.. Seems to improve x-saber consistency.  

Congrats to Jeff Jones, won the 1st Dark End and now the last. So dandywarrior won.. that deck can go so plus with the right plays. I gotta say night assailant is good tech in this deck. Drill warrior and this card make an amazing combo. You use night assailants effect bring back 2 flip effect monsters??

For those of you who don't know what Night assailant does: FLIP: Select 1 monster on your opponent's side of the field and destroy it. When this card is sent directly from your hand to the Graveyard, return 1 Flip Effect Monster from your Graveyard to your hand.

So far star cards of this format (ones that weren't really last format): LADD, Dandylion, Super Nimble Mega Hamster, Ryko, Drill Warrior, Doomcaliber Knight, Night Assailant, Card Trooper and thats all for now.
