TERMINAL WORLD 3: X-Saber Strikes Again! | Deck Spotlight The OCG release of TERMINAL WORLD 3 has duelists talking, and one of the standout themes getting fresh support is none other than X-Saber. Known for its relentless beatdown and infamous Gottoms handless loop, this archetype has always thrived on stripping resources while keeping pressure on the board. With new cards now in play, fans are eager to see if the Sabers can reclaim their spot in competitive dueling.  Meet the New Cards from TERMINAL WORLD 3 The X-Saber strategy thrives on aggressive beatdown and resource denial, famously known for the Gottoms handless loop. This deck pressures opponents by stripping their hand while maintaining strong board presence. Let’s discuss the 5 new “X-Saber” cards from TERMINAL WORLD 3! X-Saber Perina Card Review: X-Saber Perina is this theme’s Rescue Cat which can bring out any other 2 X-Saber monsters to the field straight from the deck upon summon by sending Perina to the GY. It is an excellent consistency boost for the deck and it also has some neat additional effects when it is used as a Synchro material for an “X-Saber” Synchro monster.   X-Saber Bruno Card Review: As a level 3 Psychic monster, X-Saber Bruno is searchable by Emergency Teleport furthering the chance of accessing this new monster. Upon summoned, it lets you add any 1 “Saber” Spell/Trap from your Deck or GY to hand making it an instant tool box to your Saber Spell/Trap arsenal. It also allows you to synchro on your opponent’s turn! Commander Souza, Swordmaster Card Review: Commander Souza is back with a vengeance with his new effects! Its third effect has a reactive card destruction effect ala “Ryzeal Detonator” when your opponent activates a card and effect for as long as you tribute 1 “X-Saber” monster. He also has a protection effect for as long as you can banish 1 “Saber” card from your GY instead. This synchro can also continuously help gain card advantage by drawing a card everytime it destroys a monster by battle.   X-Saber Gottoms Card Review: A powerful go-to level 7 Synchro that lets you add 1 “Saber” or “Gottoms” Spell/Trap from your Deck to your hand upon Synchro summon. It also has a neat Gottoms move upon inflicting battle damage by discarding 1 random card from your opponent’s hand. Lastly, it lets you defend your guard when an “X-Saber” monster is targeted by an attack by redirecting the attack to this Synchro monster by reviving X-Saber Gottoms from your GY.   Saber Combination Card Review: The final Spell Card in TW03 is another card to help extend your X-Saber plays. The first effect ensures that your “X-Saber” monsters will dominate the battle phase by giving them ATK boost so long as you have 10 or more “X-Saber” monsters in your field, GY, and/or banishment which is interesting as the roman numeral X stands for 10. If you summon an X-Saber monster from your Extra deck, it also allows you to special summon 1 “X-Saber” monster from your hand or deck which is helpful in swarming your field with monsters. Finally, the last effect allows you to bring a new “X-Saber” monster from your hand when your opponent declares an attack ensuring that you could survive that battle phase in tough situations.   Sample Decklist: Here is a sample X-Saber decklist for your reference. Closing Thoughts TERMINAL WORLD 3 breathes new life into X-Saber, reminding duelists why this archetype was once feared for its oppressive playstyle. The new cards give the deck more ways to set up its signature pressure, and it’ll be exciting to see how players innovate with them. 🔥 TERMINAL WORLD 3 singles and boxes are now available at TCG-Corner—pick up your X-Saber upgrades and start testing today!

Two New Cards That Change the Game Before we dive into the details, The Chronicles Deck: Story of White introduces two brand-new cards that expand the Albaz lore and strengthen the Branded strategy. These cards don’t just look incredible—they bring fresh mechanics and utility that can swing duels in your favor. The Dragon that Devours the Dogma [ DARK  /Level 8/ Beast / Fusion / Effect ] "Fallen of Albaz" + 1 LIGHT or DARK monster + 1 Effect Monster While an "Ecclesia" monster is on the field or in either GY, this card gains 500 ATK, also it is unaffected by other cards' effects.You can only use each of the following effects of "The Dragon that Devours the Dogma" once per turn.If this card is Special Summoned: You can shuffle up to 2 cards from any GY(s) and/or banishment into the Deck.During the End Phase, if this card is in your GY because it was sent there this turn: You can add 1 "Dogmatika" or "Tri-Brigade" card from your Deck to your hand. ==== This Fusion monster is a tower of resilience. With an Ecclesia on the field or in the GY, it becomes unaffected by other card effects, and its ATK can climb up to 3500. That’s enough to swing momentum in your favor, especially against decks that lack reliable outs. For Branded players, this is a game-changer that punishes unprepared opponents. The Fallen & The Virtuous Quick-Play Spell Card This card is always treated as a “Branded” and “Dogmatika” card. You can only activate 1 card with this card's name per turn.(1) Activate 1 of these effects;● Send 1 monster that mentions “Fallen of Albaz” from your Extra Deck to the GY, then target 1 face-up card on the field; destroy it.● If you have an “Ecclesia” monster in your field or GY: Target 1 monster in either GY; Special Summon it to your field. This card is a versatile tool that can remove any face-up card by sending an Extra Deck monster that lists Fallen of Albaz.

It’s a flexible answer and combo enabler rolled into one, making it a natural fit for Branded strategies.   Alternate Artworks for Collectors & Duelists Beyond the new cards, this deck also delivers stunning alternate artworks that tie directly into the Albaz lore and even the Fallen & The Virtuous anime shorts.

Mitsurugi the New Best Deck? Here’s What You Need to Know The “Mitsurugi” archetype from Creation Pack 09 (Asian English) has exploded onto the scene, and duelists everywhere are calling it “the new best deck.” Built around Level 8 Ritual Monsters that recycle themselves when tributed, “Mitsurugi” is a deck that never runs out of gas. Every tribute fuels another search, another summon, another layer of pressure. Let’s break down the cards and see why Mitsurugi is dominating across formats. Playstyle and Strategy The Mitsurugi archetype thrives on tribute synergy and graveyard recursion. Every time you tribute a Mitsurugi monster for a ritual summon (or through an effect such as with Ame no Habakiri), you’re not losing resources—you’re setting up effects that trigger in the graveyard. This means Mitsurugi constantly recycles advantage while applying pressure. With its Level 8 Ritual Monsters, Mitsurugi can wipe boards, swarm the field, and recycle resources endlessly. Mitsurugi Card Breakdown Here’s a look at the key cards that make Mitsurugi so dangerous: Monsters   Ame no Habakiri no Mitsurugi - Weakens all opponent’s monsters by 800 ATK, can Special Summon a Mitsurugi from the Deck once per Duel, and when Tributed, searches any Mitsurugi card and revives itself.
