Card = X-Saber Meta+

Balance (3/5) Ehhh....O.o

Image (4/5) Its from Jazin's and I often use the images there. Just doesn't fit the kind of image an X-Saber would have imo.

Effect (4/5) Balance doesn't apply here.

Creativity (5/5) Seems creative enough.

Name (4/5) Nice name fits the pic.

Average score 4/5

Thanks Kuri

OCG fix/shortening:
This card cannot be Normal Summon or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except by Tributing 2 "X-Saber" [s]or "XX-Saber"[/s] [b]("XX-Sabers" are also "X-Sabers" because they already have X[u]X-saber[/u] in their names)[/b] monsters you control. When this card is Summoned, Special Summon 1 "X-Saber" [s]or "XX-Saber"[/s] monster from your Deck to your side of the field. Once per turn, you can Special Summon 1 Level 5 or lower "X-Saber" [s]or "XX-Saber"[/s] monster from your Deck [s]to your side of the field[/s] [b](stating that the monster goes to your field is not necessary)[/b]. Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the Special Summoned monsters ATK. This card cannot attack the turn you used this effect. This effect cannot be negated. When this card is destroyed, Special Summon 2 "X-Saber" [s]or "XX-Saber"[/s] monsters from your Graveyard [s]to your side of the field[/s] in face-up Attack Position. Increase the Special Summoned monsters ATK by 1000 during the turn they were Summoned. All monsters that were Special Summoned by this card[b]'[/b]s effect cannot be destroyed as long as this card remains in your Graveyard. This card cannot be removed from play.


Opinion on balance:
This card is overpowered:
I. "X-Sabers" focus on swarming, so you can get the 2 monsters required for Summoning the Samurai with extreme ease, and since it is Special Summoned, you still have a Normal Summon available, a 2 "X-Sabers" in the field = Faultroll

II. Not only this card has a great ATK and it's easy to Summon, but it also has the ability to grant you 2 virtually indestructible monsters when it is destroyed, because since it cannot be removed from play, chances are that it may never leave the Graveyard for the rest of the Duel.


Comments and/or Suggestions:
-As Kuri already mentioned, the monster doesn't resemble an "X-Saber", who often wear futuristic armor and weapons (Laser Swords, etc.)
-The name doesn't follow their theme: All X-Sabers are named "X-Saber [insert name here]", while yours has its job and its provenance instead.

Thanks for the criticism. And I will think about that next time I make an X-Saber. Though I couldn't find a pic with a futuristic weapon

It's nice and creative. Fits the ninja warrior type and I am a fan of my martial arts. 8-10
