Help with improving an X-Saber deck?

This is the X-Saber deck I'm currently using - it has a fairly low chance of winning, though it has had its successes. I just need some advice as to what cards can be taken out/changed/added. I also ask forNO BANNED CARDS if possible.



Monsters:

• 2x Stealth Bird
  
• 1x X-Saber Axel
  
• 1x XX-Saber Boggart Knight

• 1x Heavy Storm
  
• 1x Mystical Space Typhoon
  
• 1x United We Stand
  
• 1x Final Flame
  
• 1x Hinotama
  
• 1x Ookazi
  
• 1x Meteor Of Destruction
  

Traps:

• 1x Bottomless Trap Hole
  
• 2x Magic Cylinder
  
• 1x Mirror Force
  
• 2x Sakuretsu Armor
  
• 1x Scrap-Iron Scarecrow
  
• 1x Starlight Road
  
• 1x Threatening Roar
  
• 1x Trap Stun
  
• 1x Torrential Tribute
  
• 1x Dust Tornado
  
• 1x Royal Decree
  

So yeah, that's my X-Saber deck. Feel free to make any constructive criticisms you want, I know it sucks, it's just a case of finding the right cards for the deck. Thanks for your help!!

1) state how many cards total
2) take out decree and dust tornado and magic cylinder
3) add solemn warning, solemn judgment, and bottomless
4) ill add more just too lazy atm

Sorry, but this is bad. Why are you only have 1 copy of every card?

You need to read through this carefully, it's a great guide to X-Saber: http://www.pojo.biz/board/showthread.php?t=940217

The deck build looks inconsistent and there are just cards you dont need in there like "Ookazi", "Meteor" and "Final Flame". Almost everything needs to be changed here.

Try making a deck with the help of this article: http://www.duelacademy.net/t3393-an-in-depth-deck-builder-s-guide-v20

Then repost here and we'll see what it needs help with.

if you are shouldn't you go and help edit the deck instead

Wow... I'm sorry you feel offended by my terrible deck... I used to have doubles of some cards but they were useless and jsut kept coming up too often. I kept getting hands entirely full of spells and traps.

I'll check out the links and follow your advice.

My only advice is to focus more on the Sabers...
You only have one of each Saber in this deck which takes away a lot from the cards.
I would have about 3 of
Boggart
Faultroll
Fulhelmnight
DarkSoul

Maybe 2
Pashuul
Ragigura
Emmersblade

I run 2 Tour Guides just because... and I also run a Gorz
(N is gonna yell at me for not maining veilers)

I'm not even going to ask why you didn't add Gottoms' Emergency Call

For spells I don't run much.
At most I run
1 Book of Moon
2 Mystical Space Typhoons
1 Monster Reborn
1 Dark Hole
1 Heavy Storm
1 Mind control

Traps I'd use
1 mirror force
2 Bottomless
3 Gottoms'
1 Torrential
2 Divine wrath
2 Solemn warning


I don't think Sabers have changed much ever since I used them about a 9 months ago...
If they have then FML

Thanks for all the help, I've made a totally new X-Saber deck and it's improved my gameplay a lot! Please let me know if there are any small changes that still need to be made.

This but without Enemy Controller.
Another Torrential would be nice..

Also
- Burden
+ MST
- Lighting Vortex
+ Monster reborn (Staple, any deck)
-Saber hole
+Heavy storm
-saber vault
+dark hole

Thanks again, I've edited the deck. I have yet to test it out (I haven't had much time for duels at the moment, exams D:). It looks pretty good; it'll definitely have a higher chance of winning than my last decks did.

@xX-Saberboy - hope this deck doesn't offend you...!!

Once again, thanks for the help!
