XX-Saber Boggart Knight

The sneak preview participation card for The Shining Darkness has been announced, and I have to say that I'm impressed.

XX-Saber Boggart Knight
Level 4/EARTH
Beast-Warrior/Effect
1900 ATK/1000 DEF

When this card is Normal Summoned, you can Special Summon 1 "X-Saber" monster from your hand. This card cannot be used as Synchro Material Monster, except for the Synchro Summon of a "X-Saber" monster.

"Marauding Captain" might not be anything special anymore, but Boggart Knight takes that concept and turns it up a notch for the X-Saber deck.

I'm not going to waste my time repeating what has already been said here:

Just bear in mind that losing a card to Synchro Summon is not the best of moves; it's usually better to just flop down Boggart and Airbellum to reap the sheer advantage the play causes.

Boggart Knight will play a pivotal role in X-Saber decks as a solid beater, easy Faultroll setup, and general speed demon. He's a great card to fall back on should Cat ever bite the bullet.
