Is Sabretooth good?
Sabretooth is immune to Cold Damage, which makes him a hard counter to 
Iceman's Coldsnap and Frostbite kit, and he's strong in Alliance Missions once his Fury effects reach full potential thanks to the Regeneration and Fury that come with them. Masteries like Glass Cannon, Greater Strength, and Enhanced Fury all boost his Attack Rating, which in turn boosts his Bleed damage, and Deep Wounds makes that Bleed hit even harder once he's stacked multiple Fury effects.
Heal Block or Heal Reversion are his main weakness since his Signature Ability regenerates a lot of what he takes, and he needs at least three fights to build up to his full potential, which is why he's A instead of higher.
