Heroic Challenger would it be the X-Saber descendant?

Heroic Champion - Excalibur

Hey, guys! Today I will share about my opinion for cards that will be printed in Abyss Rising(ABYR) booster pack. Heroic Challenger and Magical will have their new support cards soon. Based on my observation, Heroic Challenger series is much like the variant of X-Saber and most of them are Earth attribute as well.

Somehow, they are all Warrior type but their effect still not extremely good enough. Most of their monster effect are not too supportive except Double Lance that allow you to Xyz summon easily. Anyway, they can fully fit with the Earth Spirit God - Grand Soil to have Xyz summon or beat down your opponent more easily. One of the bad part of the deck is they lack of level 3 monster to act as support or defense.

With the support of level 3 monster, we can Xyz rank 3 monster easily or combo with M-X-Saber Invoker to SS Warrior-type monster to perform additional Xyz summon. Apart from that, Card Trooper is plenty useful in this deck because it can help to fill up the graveyard and you won't lost your advantage if it is destroy by battle or card effect. The most important part is it is an Earth monster as well. T.G monster also allow you to stall on the field for a while too.

Gogogo Golem also act as the stall monster and it can combo with Gogogo Giant so that you can Xyz summon rank 4 monster easily. This build will have many Earth monster and consists of 9 Warrior-type monster in the main. Instant Fusion can also added so that you can have more option of synchro or Xyz summon. This deck basically is a bit competitive and the only problem with it is just lack of some speed and stability. Anyway, this deck is good for newbie to learn to play combo deck.

I would named this deck as Earth Beat Down deck. The whole deck surround with 14 Earth-attribute monster and without Effect Veiler at all. Thus this deck required a lot of strategy planning and how you gonna play around with your opponent's Effect Veiler. In a nutshell, this deck will improve your skill and you will be practice to think further before you perform any of the combo.

Besides this deck, I had play with SD23: Roar of the Sea Emperor which build by my friend. This deck is not bad and it allow you to easily Xyz any rank 2 or 3 monster easily. The whole deck rely on the effect of Deep Sea Diva and an Effect Veiler can spoil the whole deck combo. However, with the release of Mermail in ABYR, I can see that this deck will be competitive during that time. Thus Effect Veiler may no longer as the major threat for this deck.

For those whose haven't understand how the Mermail combo works around, please learn it now because I can see that their deck will be found anywhere at the local once ABYR is officially released. This deck can perform many of the OTK stuffs, however, I won't discuss any of the Mermail combo since many bloggers had shared their ideas. For those whose interested with the Mermail combo, you may check it from here.

Okay, that's all I wanna share to you guys. Thanks for your time and wish you guys have a nice day. Stay tuned for my next post.
