• You can Special Summon 3 of this card by first using "One for One", then following with "Inferno Reckless Summon". This way, when an X-Saber monster you control is destroyed, you can draw 3 cards. This will also trigger the effect to Special Summon "XX-Saber Faultroll".

• You can prevent this card from being attacked before you can use its effect by using "Pixie Ring".

• Since it doesn't specify who has to control the "Saber" monster being destroyed by battle for its effect, you can give your opponent a weaker X-Saber monster and attack it with a stronger one, dealing damage to the opponent and still gaining the extra draw.

• There is also an infinite draw loop possible with this card. By using one copy of this card and two copies of "X-Saber Palomuro", one in the graveyard and one on the field. Ram the "Palomuro" on the field into an opponent's monster with higher attack, destroying "Palomuro" and activating "Axel's" effect to draw one card. Then use the effect of the "Palomuro" in the graveyard, paying 500 life points and special summoning it. Then proceed to ram it and continue this cycle to draw out your entire deck. Activating "Rainbow Life" earlier in the same turn will prevent the large amount of damage you would have taken from ramming with "Palomuro". This loop could possibly become an OTK with Exodia as well.
