Galactic X-ray sources are diverse, ranging from active M dwarfs to compact object binaries, and everything in between. The X-ray landscape of today is rich, with point source catalogs such as those from XMM-Newton, Chandra, and Swift, each with >~10^5^ sources and growing. Furthermore, X-ray astronomy is on the verge of being transformed through data releases from the all-sky SRG/eROSITA survey. Many X-ray sources can be associated with an optical counterpart, which in the era of Gaia, can be determined to be Galactic or extragalactic through parallax and proper motion information. Here, I present a simple diagram = the "X-ray Main Sequence", which distinguishes between compact objects and active stars based on their optical color and X-ray-to-optical flux ratio (FX/Fopt). As a proof of concept, I present optical spectroscopy of six exotic accreting WDs discovered using the X-ray Main Sequence as applied to the XMM-Newton catalog. Looking ahead to surveys of the near future, I additionally present SDSS-V optical spectroscopy of new systems discovered using the X-ray Main Sequence as applied to the SRG/eROSITA eFEDS catalog.
