-rat Haven't got any other Emmersblades except for the one in the deck so this was added in as a subsitute.
-bulb I can understand why Bulb can be taken out.
-hamster Don't really understand why I need to take hampster out since he can get me Darksoul out on to the field when I need it to.
-poa Don't understand why I should take this out.
-reinforcement I would have to think about this since this targets 5 cards in my deck. This card has helped me a number of times to get monsters out like Hyunlei.
-2 d-prison Understandable.
- 1 trap stun (optional. I like mst at 2 better than stun at 2) Understandable.
+2 emmersblade Only have the one emmersblade. Its difficult to get more in my area which is why I'm running 1 Giant Rat.
+1 airbellum I guess I could try playing Airbellum again since it helps me get rid of a good card (I hope) from my opponents hand.
+2 mst Maybe add 1 and side 1 but I can always test it and see how it goes
+1 pod Only have the 1 Duality and again its difficult to get another plus I think 2 PoD might be too much depending on how much special summoning you could do in one turn.
+1 book Don't really like it at 3. its better off at 2 IMO plus it leaves less space for more good cards to put in.
+1 warning Agreed. Good thing I have another.
+judgement Agreed.
-armory arm I can see why it could be taken out.
-mist wurm Don't really understand why to take wurm out.
+magical android Not really needed
+urbellum It can be helpful but the downside is his ATK for a level 7 monster. I would run Souza over him, shame he's not released in english.

I have replied to the changes in the quote. I should test out the changes and see how it goes when I get the chance to. Thanks for helping but yeah, would love to hear the replacements you might have in mind.

Glad I could help :). Yeah it's not just your area, emmersblade is hard to get period :(. You can use 3 on kc though. Since you only have the 1...I guess keep rat. That's what my friend used before he got the 2nd emmersblade, but he finally broke down and bought it bc of how much better it is. Of all the cards I said to use, he would be the best option to buy.It realy does help more than you would expect. Curse it for being so expensive :(. Only 2 is "needed" for the engine though so 3 isn't absolutely necessary....Just more helpful :). And instead of the 3rd emmersblade use a 2nd airbellum or sangan (or keep hamster). Sangan makes up a little for not having many emmersblade and airbellum is pro. That discard effect is really annoying haha. If you can only get 1 pod, keep reinforcement. You need it for the search power, particularly bc you have only 1 emmersblade. No, 2 pod doesn't really hurt you (3 is overkill though). But sabers don't really even need pod (tht'a kinda why I like them). I wouldn't worry about getting another irl, go for emmersblade instead if you can. Super-nimble isn't crap really...it's just not as good as other cards IMO. You're searching the searcher basically haha. Maybe keep it bc of the lack of emmersblade but just try it without him, I doubt you'll miss him. 2nd mst doesn't matter much, it's just worked better for me. Just keep the 2nd trap stun if you only want 1. 3rd book isn't for sure needed either, but saber decks leave a bit of space for tech and book is pretty amazing this format. Poa...eh. I like this card but you usually want monsters in the grave to bring it back with your numerous revival cards.
The synchro choices are all about options. With wurm you have an excess of options. You can synch for 9s easy, but rarely ever twice, much less 3 times (and gottoms>wurm). Urbellum kinda sucks. Only reason he's there is bc of boggart. Sometimes you will be stuck with only him and a level 3 tuner. Also urbellum is a saber so yeah. Android is optional since you have Beast. Only occasionally is it nice to have him like if you duel bw where catastor isn't much help. I don't care really if you don't add him

Interesting bit of information there. Thanks for explaining it for me.
