    Some of the cards are... really pointless.

    Thunder King is not good and inconsistent at 1 and there's no point running it in Sabers. At most a sideboard card, it restricts the movement of Darksoul horribly. That is a really, really bad thing, because it turns all your +1s into neutral moves, and that would kind of suck because Darksoul without its searching effect is just a subpar card. There is no point running Summoner Monk without Cat either, since it's basically a bad card if it doesn't fetch Cat. Crow @ 1 is random and inconsistent, so we'll cut that too. Gardestrike is approximately a bit worse than Cyber Dragon (useless vs. Machinas), so that goes out as well.

    Something like triple Boggart Knight, Fulhelm over Airbellum, and double Pashuul? Boggart Knight can't really replace Cat, but it does an ok job. Ragigura @ 2 is probably a good idea since it pulls the Faultroll loop along.

    Spell wise... Gold Sarcophagus is a bit strange here, in a Sabers build. It's not a bad card, but I can't see how you can justify running Sarc over your second MST or your Dark Hole, for example. In the Trap lineup it also looks a bit inconsistent, so something like Starlight Road @ 2 (good against the meta of Quickdraw and SalvoDAD who nuke the field like 3 times a day) over Oppression is likely the card you want.
     
    -1 Gold Sarcophagus
    +1 Dark Hole

    Er, it's a lot faster than Sarcophagus, obviously. Sarcophagus can pull stuff out, but Dark Hole can clear the field, and given the high swarming power of X-Sabers, you could probably inflict a hefty sum...
     
    Done. Should anything else be done here? The deck used to be around getting rescue cat out.
     
    Triple Fulhelm and 1 Airbellum if you want a straight 40.

    Fulhelm is just strictly better than Airbellum as a 3-star Tuner and now that you lost your reason to play Airbellum (Rescue Cat) you don't need to play so many copies of that weaker card.

    The lack of RotA is disturbing.
     
    What would RotA replace though? And what card would be added to the hand?
     
    It pulls out Fulhelmknight if you need recursion power or Pashuul if you need a quick-tune.
    I'd drop the Dustshoot for it, if you want to add it in.
     
    Hi im the owner of the deck, thanks for the comments, ive just signed up to poke community 2nite but i was monitoring this post with my friend *Firestar* ive done what you all say and the build looks great!, anything else that should be done here?
     
    I have just edited the deck for you Olz. Are there any other adjustments he should make before the deck is good? Help so far has been most appreciated by both of us!
     
    Rat or Emmersblade over Sangan gives more defense. It's pretty important sometimes.

    Purely personal choice though... Sangan is acceptable.
     
    I've swapped it out, and it looks pretty much done now. Thanks Cirrus, Gymnotide.
     
    I would arguably run a second copy of Emmersblade over a copy of Rat, since it's easier to destroy by battle (only 800 DEF) and gets its floating effect off faster, but that's just me... if you don't like Emmersblade's price tag don't go for it.
     
    Yes, Emmersblade is a lot better anyway, since it isn't restricted by ATK.
     
    Yep. It has been done with Rat. Thanks a lot Cirrus, Gymnotide.
