why does Konami not put this card on the banlist, its a a slightly worse cocytus but it has a the fact its usually 3600 attack to counter act this. It doesn't need to forbidden but it needs to be limited so it stops getting abused with other engines that are already overpowered

As long as Desperado is around, Sabre Dancer will be safe. Once non-targeting removals get out of the meta we may consider this again.

MangakaJ96

Dude, you can non-targeting effects on Sabre to destroy(which unlike Cocytus, Sabre can be destroyed by non-target card effects) or banish.

MangakaJ96

And this is coming from a Lunalight user.

Also, Floodgate works on Sabre btw.

Here we are again, people crying around about putting every card on the banlist because they can’t deal with them with their trash decks...
saber dancer is very weak. No need for banlist. Just use sphere kuriboh, void trap hole, wall of d, floodgate, drowning mirror force, black rose dragon, fortune lady every, cybernetic overflow, desperado dragon... so easy to beat this card... stop crying!!

But I can't use those cards in my f2p super heavy samurai deck

then stop being f2p and buy more UR/SR cards.
simple.

Those two are different.

Coc can't be destroyed by card effect,
but Saber can.

Coc can atk while in defense, giving it immunity to position changer cards such as sphere kuriboh.
And taking out defense position monster with 2800 def and can be boosted with invoker is tough.
put Saber in def, and it's done.

Unlike Invoked, Lunalight is not an engine archetype which mean not flexible like invoke.

Coc in def position is also 🔥, because it's immune to atk based traps such as WoD, drowning, mirror wall, etc.

and don't forget Coc required only 2 materials, 1 invoker and any 1 water monster in any player grave or your field or your hand which is easy to setup.
Saber needs 3 from hand & field only, could be 2 with luna fusion but depends on your opponent having Extra deck monster or not..

Then if you complaint about Lunalight with Invoked engine, then it's invoker fault not lunalight.

Just look at how many archetypes got destroyed by invoker, even though clearly invoker is the one at fault. took Konami one year to realize this and banned Cocytus and limit 3 invoker.

On the other hand, Saber dancer can keep crushing your boss monsters and your teeth as long as you don't have a UR or SR like Sphere Kuriboh or Herald of the Abyss.

Geez, you don't even get my point.
ANY ATK BASED TRAP OR BATTLE POSITION CHANGER COULD EASILY DEAL WITH SABER PERMANENTLY OR TEMPORARILY.

Here are some options :
- Curse of Anubis
- Wind of Etaqua
- Wall of D
- Mirror Wall
- Drowning Mirror Force
- Sphere Kuriboh
- Regular Kuriboh
- Dimensional Prison.
- Floodgate.
- ANd many i dont remember.

Now let me know how many can deal with COcytus???

And even that's not enough. Invoked Neos is back again apparently.

Heck, at this point it's possible they will get so fed up, they are putting all three (Aleister, Invocation, and Purgatrio) to limited 2.

You want to use Aleister and Invocation? Fine, but no Purgatrio or Neos Fusion. You want Purgatrio? Better run Poly to replace Invocation or fusion sub to replace Aleister, then.

Kusa

I understand that Saber is tough too.
But comparing it to Cocytus is just not fair.

If people complaint about Lunalight + Invoked.
Please blame Invoker, not Lunalight.

Dimensional Prison don't even work.

Those cards aren't regular cards that most decks have. And most of those traps are battle traps. If they use CC, trunade, etc.. you are finished.

Most lunalight players don't fall for battle traps nowadays.

As a Lunalight user myself (who doesn't even have Cosmic Cyclone, but Spiritualism instead and don't even use the Invoked Engine), Sabre isn't all that compared to cards like Blue Eyes Twin Burst Dragon and Desperado Dragon (the two MONSTERS which Cosmic Cyclone can't save Sabre from).

And of course we're not gonna fall for battle traps. It would be stupid of LL users to not take out any threats before attacking.

Target immunity is hell for some decks to break like blue eyes, dm etc. Imagine, once uppon a time the only target immunity monster we had in duel links was Blue Eyes Shinning Dragon. And you had to tribute a Blue eyes ultimate dragon to summon it fgs.

for twin burst to take out your saber he has to lose life points.
at that point, saber already has 7000 atk and you usually have dealt at least 2000 damage to the opponent.
at that point you already won as lunalight

Why........would someone run Blue Eyes Eyes Shining Dragon to begin with...?

<< Anonymous

MangakaJ96

If a Blue Eyes Player cares so much about life points, they better run Floodgates to prevent Sabre from being summoned to begin with.

I mean prevent Sabre from being face-up on the field to begin with.

The comment about blue eyes shinning dragon was to show how duel links have changed due to power creep. Back in early says they only target immunity monster we had was this and was HELL of a card to even summon it. Now with just 2 cards you can have a monster immunity monster.

Anoymous

How could it be abused with other engine when it can only be summoned by fusing 3 Lunalight monsters?
