X-Saber Wayne
EARTH/Warrior - Synchro - Effect/Level 5/ 2100 Atk / 400 Def
1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
When this card is Synchro Summoned, you can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Warrior-Type monster from your hand.
My friend made me play this card, so I feel like I should take another look at it at the very least.
Well, the fact that's it's a Level 5 Synchro doesn't really help much, because both Ally of Justice Catastor and Magical Android are many times superior to this Synchro monster.
It's Attack stat isn't so great either, because the Level 5-6 Atk threshold is established to be 2400 Atk, the same Atk value of the Monarchs.
So overall, the card is really bad right?
Wrong.
There is one deck where this generic Level 5 Synchro can fit in, and that would be in an X-Saber deck.
Have a Pashuul and a Darksoul, as well as a Faultroll in your hand? Why not Synchro for X-Saber Wayne, as well as letting you summon that Fulhelmknight?
Of course, situational event is situational, but still, if you have that Sangan instead of Darksoul...
I would say that one X-Saber Wayne is fitting for an X-Saber deck. You never know when he can save your face.
The fact that he has X-Saber in his name helps a lot too.

Sunday Locals Report
Today was yet another Sunday at my locals. Luckily it was a normal constructed format, so I did not need to do anything weird to my current set of cards.
I made it early, so I was there a bit doing some trading, etc...
Tournament finally got started, and it was four Swiss rounds, cutting to a Top 8.
Round 1: OO vs Infernities
Game 1: He just had a really bad hand for some reason. I pull off a lucky mill off Card Trooper sending Dandylion to the graveyard, and then with the tokens I summon Light and Darkness Dragon the next turn. It was all downhill from there.
Game 2: Pretty much the same deal as Game 1. He had a bad setup and my transformational side did its job. Siding in Crows, Monarchs and Royal Oppression gave me the edge in this match-up.
Round 2: OXO vs Machina Gadgets
Game 1: Oh boy. I really did not expect to see this match-up today. I had not side for this match at all.
=\
Somehow though, I managed to outlive my opponent's resources through his minus from summoning a Fortress into my Bottomless Trap Hole, and a LADD late game wins me this duel.
Game 2: Drawing into only Monarchs and Chaos Sorcerer early game, while having my only summon-able monster sent by Trap Dustshoot is brutal. REAL BRUTAL.
Game 3: He pulls off Chain Disappearance on me in this duel, but it doesn't stop me from getting off my Lonefire Blossom play. From there, it was rather similar gameplay to Game 1: he gains advantage, but I get through it through his minuses from Machina Fortress.
Round 3: OXX vs Gladiator Beasts
Game 1: Early control through Drill Warrior and my S/T removal wins me this game.
Game 2: I don't remember much detail, but I recall having bad hands.
Game 3: Now the last duel this was a misplay by me. I get out Turbo Warrior, but leave a token on the field. I had a Spore in my graveyard, but didn't use it to synchro with the token into AOJ Catastor. Because of that, while I did have My Body as a Shield face down as an answer to his Smashing Ground, I did not have an answer to his Book of Moon.
=\ Bad plays by me there, but you learn when you misplay.
Round 4: XX vs Rock Stun
This two duels were rather lousy, as I was against my brother and I really had no motivation to beat him into the ground. Also, my deck pretty bad against his deck.
Monster heavy deck against Neo-Spacian Grand Mole = GG
Alright, so I go 2-2, and somehow make it into the Top 8 through tiebreakers (as usual)
Top 8 Match-up: XOO vs Machina Gadgets
Yes, against the same person from Round 2.
Game 1: Another Trap Dustshoot sends away my LADD, but I could not do much anyways with Quickdraw, two Caius, and two useless spell and trap cards. I get beat down rather quickly.
Game 2: I manage to pull off the Drill Warrior plays, and I win with him staring down Drill Warrior and Light and Darkness Dragon.
Game 3: This was a good back-and-forth match, as the exchanges were rather even. In the end, Caius wins me the duel as he just couldn't get Caius off the field after I removed his Machina Fortress.
Top 4 match-up: OXX vs LIGHT Anti-Meta
A good duel against my friend and teammate Jimmy.
Game 1: Early control through Drill Warrior wins me this game, as Jimmy just couldn't remove it off the field. Dust Tornado hitting Royal Oppression was a lifesaver also. Also this duel was the first time I used Junk Destroyer all day. Although it was only for a final finisher though.
Game 2: His anti-meta antics work, as I just couldn't get through D.D. Warrior Lady, Thunder King Rai-oh, and Royal Oppression.
Game 3: A rather similar repeat of Game 2. Just throw Honest in there somewhere.
~~~
Today's Top 8 was one Gladiator Beast deck, one Quickdraw deck, one Infernities, one Machina Gadget, one Synchro Cat, one Rock Stun, one Anti-Meta deck, and one Zombie deck.
The Top 4 consisted of the Anti-Meta deck, my Quickdraw deck, the Infernity deck and the Gladiator Beast deck.
Top 2 was the Anti-Meta deck and the Gladiator deck going head to head, with the GBs coming out on top eventually.
~~~
So I end with a Top 4 finish today. It's been quite a while since I've last seen a Top 2 or Top 1 finish. Lately, Quickdraw Plants just aren't as efficient. I may switch back to a different variant of Synchro Cat next week. We'll see how it goes.
Thanks for reading this blog post as usual.
Until tomorrow~

Baaack!
What happens when a person gets his hand on an Ace Attorney game?
He MUST complete all five episodes before returning to his normal life!!!
So yea...I picked up the new one and I haven't been on the computer at all in the past two days.
But anyways, I beat the game and I'm back to my regular posting schedule!
Expect more updates to come!
