Sabertooth
I never liked any incarnation of Sabertooth.
Truth be told, he’s not really one of my
favorite Marvel characters.
Sabertooth
Savage Killer
Brotherhood/5/11/8
Reservist
Whenever a character causes breakthrough,
Sabertooth cannot be stunned while attacking
this turn.
Pay 2 endurance > Target character you control
can attack hidden characters this turn.
This Sabertooth is not as big as his 4 drop
counterpart, but it’s still decent. The fact
that there isn’t a single team stamp on him
means you can put him in any deck, but he’ll
mostly be seen in a Brotherhood, reservist, or
Physical trait deck. Actually, that’s about all
he’s good for, giving the mutant trait decks
some power that is still an unsupportable
archetype.
The effect itself is good, he’s essentially a 5
drop that can’t be stunned if you play it right.
And attacking hidden characters is always ever
so important.
Marvel Modern: 4/5
Silver Age: 4/5
Golden Age: 4/5
Overall: 4/5
You’re not my favorite, but I give you props for
being a decent card.

Alrighty...
first off, I'd like to apologize for not doing
review for a few days... I've been dealing with
life falling apart. Oh, well. ON TO THE
CARD!!!
Sabertooth (Brotherhood)
5 cost, 11 ATK, 8 DEF
Reservist
Whenever a character causes breakthrough,
Sabertooth cannot be stunned while attacking
this turn.
Pay 2 endurance >> Target character you control
can attack hidden characters this turn.
Well. He's no 4 cost 11/7... Lets face it, no
one can compete with that. But still... this
Sabertooth looks pretty good to me. His 11/7
for 5 is about average (I think 9/9 is average,
so +2/-2 = 11/7, so its close) No Flight or
Range isn't really a surprise for this brute.
As I've stated before, I love the Reservist
ability. Especially on cards that will come out
later game. His abilities are pretty darn cool,
too. If another character causes breakthrough,
Sabertooth can't be stunned while attacking.
Lemme re-read this... whenever A CHARACTER...
wait... there is no 'your' in there. So, even
if YOU get hit with breakthrough (assuming
Sabertooth doesn't get stunned on your opponants
attack), he can't be stunned when he strikes
back. OOo... part 2 is pretty cool, too. You
can pay life to allow target charcter you
control to attack Hidden characters... a lot of
people like to run weak hidden characters.
Well, weak stat- wise. Overall, Sabertooth is
pretty decent.
Sealed 4/5 He can be pretty bad ass in sealed.
Higher ATK than most turn 5 characters can make
a big difference, and reservist means he won't
be a dead card in your hand early on.
Constructed 3/5 Well, I don't really see him
in any 'New Brotherhood' decks, but I can
definitely see him just sitting around in other
decks toasting folks. |

Sabretooth <>
Savage Killer
Cost 5
11/8
Reservist
As most Marvel fans will tell you, Sabretooth,
or Sabye as he’s better know, is Wolverine’s
bestest buddy ever. They have appeared together
in many comics over the years, such as
“Wolverine and Sabretooth and the Smuggling
Pirate Themed Adventure”, “Wolverine and
Sabretooth and the Case of Steve Guttenberg’s
Missing Career” and of course my personal
favourite; “Wolverine and Sabretooth Versus The
Mystery Ghost”.
Bwah, ha, hah. Giggle.
This VS related incarnation of Sabye is almost
as good as that intro was awesome. And that
intro was at least 25% more awesome than an
object of equal size and mass that was composed
entirely of awesomeness.
So long as any character gets breakthrough
(including himself) Sabye can’t be stunned. So
that’s just fricking A. Then he lets you go kick
hidden characters in the face. And that’s just
fricking A+.
His reservist status means it doesn’t matter is
you draw him too early, and by golly if it
doesn’t just mean he fits into a reservist
Brotherhood deck.
Giving him flight and range would make him
perfect, so maybe, I don’t know, do they make
plot twists that do that?
Sealed: 5
Constructed: 5
