Hey everyone! Hope you enjoyed this new video! *Let's try to break 1,000 Likes!!* What's something a person should know before they dive into playing Yu-Gi-Oh?
Team APS 1.its a card game and a computer game YGOPRO etc 2. it is fundamentally important to know how to read and have a tad bit of common sense 3. you will get robbed if you're inattentive at locals or regionals or both 4. it's an expensive game 5. this game actually requires the manual for lots of rules and will have unheard of rules which are written by konami on their yugioh website 6. reading beyond the manual is important i.e. rulings of certain cards 7. the game changes in waves 8. it's a trading card game so instead of just buying everything you want try to trade as well.
Where do u get the specific decks you need? For example i want a geargia deck but the structure deck is pretty bad. so how do i get that Budget deck profile and that exact cards, do i get em all online individually or buy decks online? or just buy packs?
Keven Hernandez so two ways individually or people sell prebuilt decks on Amazon and eBay. if you're looking for particular rarities etc better off buying individually because unfortunately people will rip you off. the best way to buy cards individually is looking up the market of yugioh cards on : Yugioh Prices website or app then look at retail prices versus individual sellers. hope this helps. i built all my decks this way then traded what i didn't need to other players IN PERSON no online trades or at least i learned my lesson from online trades got my Slifer robbed like that
5 things to know before you play yugioh: 1. mst negates 2. main deck 3 winged dragon of ra sphere mode in every deck 3. if you have no monsters on the field you can summon dark magician and declare a direct attack therefore you win. 4. Play "maxx c" if your opponent activates pot of duality. 5. You can only activate magic cylinder if you have dark magician girl on the field since only herself can hold it. Nuff said.
I have just started playing yugioh last week and I am still learning new rules new card effects etc That's probably the hardest game I've seen but I love it and I am addicted to it....
Costs are paid upon activation, not upon effect resolution. It's not hard to understand, but it is very important to know, because chains resolve in weird ways.
Dark World Dealings' purpose is to put a card in the grave, that's it's relevant effect, the only reason you draw one 1st is a neg 2 to get a grave effect would be weak as hell
I'm not talking about the purpose of cards, just the wording. I just used Dark World Dealings as an example of a rare card where discarding is not a cost.
My tip: If you take a break from Yugioh, keep following the game. If you don't the game will be really hard to get back into because 90% of what you used to play will not be viable at all.
True. I would say just keep an eye on like 1/2 YugiTubers. And if a new super OP card/archetype is announced. You don't gotta buy new cards or play, but just seeing a thumbnail that says "Zoodiacs Tier 0" helps you know whats out there and what you wanna play when you decide to pick the game up again. I stopped playing for like 1 1/2 years and it took me a good minute to get acclimated to the new meta again and all the crazy new techs and stuff.
@John Doe taking a break from the game. So you're taking a break from playing, you can still follow Yu-Gi-Oh! news and be taking a break with the game.
Taking a break from the game and taking a break from YGO is the same thing. You don't have to be unplugged from YGO entirely to take a break. Being familiar with the game already and following news simply gives you an info map that tells you where to start from if you want to pick up back playing it. Or even seeing new spins on old things like all of the Fusion and Ritual stuff. You may look at a Yugi-tuer talking about them and it might peak your interest. Living under a rock about anything and then coming out to play isn't a good idea.
When I look at how expensive this game is, like I love the game, but I don't "spend $600+ to build a good deck" love it. If I were to actually buy a deck, you can bet I'm gonna get all those cards in the lowest rarity possible because I'm not paying hundreds of dollars just so all my cards can be shiny. Shiny or not, they still work the same way. As far as metas and the ban list, I ignore both of those and just play with the cards that I want to use. I really don't care what Konami says is banned, since I just play the game with my friends anyway.
Blue Sparx that's the thing with cost, the decks don't cost $600+ because people get the rarest version, they cost that much because many of the necessary cards for a deck are single print cards, for example, Zoodiacs use Zoodiacs Barrage, which is a $100 card that has only been printed once, so to play a competitive build you absolutely need a playset which ends up being $300 for those three cards because there is no cheaper version of the card, this is true for every single meta deck, my blue eyes build was $850, but if I went out and bought the rarest version of each card I'd be in the $2000+ range
Yea, I'm aware. I just used rarities as an example because I can't believe people would add extra cost on such expensive cards just to make them more aesthetically pleasing. I would never spend more than a couple dollars on a single card. It just isn't worth it.
Blue Sparx to you that is, at my workplace a lot of the people in office play as well as I do and all of our decks are in the $500+ range, but if you go to locals there's tons of kids with $50-100 decks, they play what they can afford for their playstyle, not going to tell a 14 year old to spend $500 on a deck, but I'm not going to recommend a $50 deck to someone who can afford the meta
Yea, it seems really excessive. And I forgot to mention my other issue with this is that you spend all that money on the cards, and then they become useless when the next meta rolls in and forces you to buy even more overpriced decks.
I had stopped playing in round 2010-11, but I've always kept up with the game from afar, just researching and understanding the new rules and such, so I'm glad I can say I have most of my dark magician legacy support, just gotta find some spots in Va to play
Just topped my first locals using True King Dinosaurs only playing 2 months. I like to think that I'm doing well for 2 months on account of the fact that like half the people made top 8 at a regional.
I completely agree with you on knowing the mechanics. I always learn the mechanics and even if I don't play the deck its still useful to know. It also helps mentally as you won't get as intimidated or worried because you know whats going on, rather than just cards going everywhere and you're confused. If you expect to win against the meta with an old deck I think it would be best to atleast go into like ygopro or something and use those meta decks and learn how the operate and learn the combos and then, you as a player will develop. Atleast that's what I believe :)
Study the top decks/meta of each format, and make your deck choice based on what counters those few powerful decks if you're going to play competitively.
I did see the reprint, actually forgot about it for awhile, not being cheap but to me, buying a single card for 5$ or more seems......dirty? If that is the right word to use, I'll pick it up sometime down the line, but as for Crystal Wing......ouch.
Well it's pretty annoying when people just spend a ton of money on whatever the new top tier, best OP deck to be is and then act like they're good. Konami picks what they want to win, and people spend stupid amounts of money on it. It comes to a point where the game skips skill and goes to the size of your wallet
hi I am new to yugioh, watched back through the anime 99 episodes on crunchyroll and I am getting in to the card game with my bro just wanted to say as a new person your videos are really helpful
No matter what style you play, Control, Combo, or Ramp, people will complain about it, also everyone will critique your deck, but the most important thing is that you're confident in your build, once you learn your deck, you become the best player in the world with that deck.
I've introduced alot of people yo yugioh. Given them my own decks to start, take it slow, ease them into it. One of the first things I always tell them is to have fun. Never take it too seriously.
I think playing DevPro is a good way to start out if you're coming back after a long time out, or just starting out. It gives you access to any card you want, allows you to experiment and see what you like, and it spoonfeeds you rulings and card effects basically, allows you to spend time getting used to this kind of stuff before you jump in, and then you can take it up to locals from there.
Lmao I've played Yugioh since it was been released. However, it's Not What I meant. Ocg cards are greatly cheaper due to the rarity difference. For example, I would rather pay $10 bucks for a zoodiac barrage from japan rather hen $70+ In the tcg. Sadly you're unable to play ocg copies in the tcg which does not make sense to me as it's simply corporate greed. It would not bug me if the card pools were the Identical between ocg and tcg.
To be fair you can use them at your locals if it's okay with the owner and the judges at your location. However, you can't use them at regionals and events.
geargone if its both printed in tcg and ocg its okay as long as you have a way of proving what is wrote on in in English. but there is a reason why TCG and OCG are spilt and its not yu-gi-ohs fault
I've been playing competitively since Duelist Genisis' release, so I'm fine with all the complicated stuff. But recently my brother and even my friend has shown interest in Yugioh. Let me tell you, teaching them how to play has been a nightmare... Now Link's are coming out and it's just going to be another headache lmao
I used to play Yu-Gi-Oh (with friends, not competitive) wayyy back in the day when the best card was Blue Eyes White Dragon.... Damn that sentence makes me feel old. I'd love to know what you guys think is the worst deck ever made and the best deck ever made as well as what is your personal favourite deck to play. Love your content guys, keep it going another 4 years
One thing I can appreciate about YuGiOh is that there are certain decks that are completely anti-meta, but when they're played against a meta deck they can actually pop off and have the meta player rage quit. I play a Red deck on ygo pro and I have gotten a few times that a meta player actually had a good field but got beaten by just me getting one synchro off.
I'm still smacking anything moving with a classic control/gravity bind deck... Because of the new link summoning format slowing down the board, it's actually easier for a control deck to pop the boards and stall opponents... You guys look like some homies I'd smoke a few blunts and duel with.. #subscribed
Before Hurricane Ike, I had around 6000 cards(structure decks, starter decks, booster packs and grab bag assorted). I even had a pre-legal Ra(ordered a 100cnt grab bag, they sent me Ra in a solid plastic sleeve😀. Contacted them, for free they sent me my order☺). I even had the Duel Masters Guide collection(with my favorite card; Dark Paladin😀). But....after Ike came and went, looters robbed my home, one thing they stole was my entire card collection😞). Well, that's long past Anyway. My favorite deck style, best I can describe, is a combo of spellcaster/warrior/dragon, as evidence of my favorite card☺. I'm the kind(or at least I used to be, before finances became tight), that prefers to have as large a collection as possible to amalgamate my combo deck☺(find out what works best with my desired build). I have a few cards right now, and will someday rebuild my collection☺. I now have a *legal* Ra😀.
I only really collect the classic cards. I just love them for the art and how much fun it was to build decks when I was younger. If you had a cards with 1400 attack that was the shit, now it's worth nothing it's a shame that the cards became so overpowered in my opinion
I'd recommend Xyz for new players since they likely won't have a huge Extra deck and need every slot immediately when they start building since Xyz are the easiest special summons to learn by simply matching levels.
Great video guys, keep up the content. I'm personally stuck hard between competitive and casual because of where I live and my schedule. When I move to university I imagine I'll be going in more competitive route, but building some fun decks too, but with Link summoning I imagine I'll be playing around with some older decks to see if they will be more competitive.
Link Format - Zoodiac, Mermail, Kozmo, Lawn Noid etc. Links didn't even slow the game down, only dumbed and reduced the viable card pool as a cash grab.
Links weaken turn 1 boards & slow down the rate at which decks can make multiple plays in a turn, & turn 1 stun can be an autowin which is a lot harder to accomplish after links, & Mermails aren't exactly brand new, links make the game slower relative to where it is now and increase the viability of some older decks, OTK plays have been part of the game since before synchros, for links slow doesn't mean more turns, it means doing less in 1 turn
not counting infernoids which most people expect to see bans/limits for for links main deck spam puts out in general 1, maybe 2 negates, which is in line with what extra deck based decks can do consistently after Links
I have a question. For the longest I have been back and forth between competitive and Local hobby level of dueling. I find MUCH more fun in dueling locals, lower stakes, but you see a MUCH larger variety of rogue decks and deck combinations, opposed to everyone using 3-4 different decks over and over (not that THAT is bad, it has to be this way, just look at Online games, some weapons are MUCH better than others and duh, you use the best) But the question is, what does everyone in the community prefer, the cheaper, more accessible level or the hyper competitive level. I, Personally find more enjoyment in locals. Much more friendly, and i love sharing my expertise with newer players (i love teaching and being a mentor)
Talking about games that can get stale, it is MODERN magic. You will always have like Burn or Infect in top tier. Every now and then someone will build a glass canon, come out of nowhere and take the month by storm, but then after all the top tiers lost to the deck 4-5 times, it's weaknesses will be exploited and we will just be back to the usual top tier decks such as Affinity, Infect, Burn, Urza Tron - so forth. Each deck might just run slight variants. But yea. Not saying it is bad because there will always be the surprise factor as mentioned. But in Yugioh stuff is always changing. Both are great games though. Just interesting to see the differences in meta formats.
I have a ton of old cards and probably won't expand my collection any time soon. But what's cool is that I can build several totally viable decks that can play well against each other. So I can still play with friends, just without the newest and best cards. It's kind of like playing in the past. Does your shirt mean " youtuber" or " player"? : P
Some of these things to know are points MST.TV covered in a video about 5 unrealistic reasons people quit. Something you didn't mention was power creep and how old cards become out classed to new better versions; tying into that is sometimes your cards will lose their value.
Expensive is right! As for it "ever changing", it should already be known that after Link Summoning, there will be another way to summon monsters. Granted maybe after 2-3 years, but it will happen again, and again...typical questions I ask are "do you want to PLAY? Or do you want to WIN?" Playing is easy, buy a structure deck and use it. Winning in this game costs money, sometimes way too much. I'll stick with my "jank" decks ( that I spent hundreds on over the years, that are now "worthless"). I can still use those, at least for now. Since the game does keep changing, buy a Link Structure deck (not the starter, wait for the structure deck) and just use it until the next change comes out. Otherwise, find players who are "okay" with playing in the same format/era as the cards you have. No point at throwing more money at Konami, or the secondary market, when things change everyday in this game. Or just find another game...but Yu-Gi-Oh! is one expensive hobby. Yes, its a hobby people. I said it. I'll look into the costs of other games. EDIT: Seems like all card games are expensive (when it comes to the CCG/TCG variety). Only cheap ones are the "boxed" board game style ones, with a limited card pool to use. Maybe try that style of game, if you're on a budget. You won't find it being "cheap" in any of the CCG/TCG games out there. Good luck to all!
I have a serious question. I just recently started to get back into yugioh so i ordered some sleeves. Everyone told me that pc whites were the best so thats what i got. Later i found out that their were different sizes ( i got standard ) So my question is, should i just trash them? Or is it acceptable to use standard sized sleeves instead of Mini (Yugioh) sized?
Im not "new, to yugioh but i am a noob with some good cards, can you please make a maybe series "IN DEPTH YUGIOH RULES" or guide because there are alot of things, i am uncertain about.. Btw love the channel you guys are great 👍
i'm just waiting on link format (or until we get more official info) because i dont want to waste money on cards that might be unplayable in a few months
Variants or not, you don't start seeing cards other than the standard Zoo combo that I'm sure everyone and their dog has memorized at this point until Turn 3-4 (assuming it even gets to that point) and I know the Paleo thing. 'Tis the reason I put 95%. I acknowledge that there's a lil' bit that isn't Zoo, but they're really obscured thanks to, you guessed it, Zoo.
& the Zoo combo isn't standardised either, there are variations & summon orders to play around certain cards like ghost ogre & ways to gain more advantage, some people even play sub optimal versions of the combo to bait out opposing options or smokescreen a follow up play or tech
But that statement is true. Any deck at a peak near tier 0 capacity isn't going to be that way for a long time. Sometimes as short as 3 months. THen those 95% of players have to scramble to move on to the next big thing which is especially hectic in terms of the market.
2021 update : 1) chain blocking 2) always run called by the grave in the deck 3) 3x ash blossom is like water for humans... Necessary 4)this hobby is expensive af 5) salamamgreat is probably the best deck for new yugioh players to get the hang of the playstyle
Hello everybody, me and my brother wanted to play again after a 2, almost 3 years hiatus from yugioh. We saw that blue eyes and dark magician are recieving some really neat support and for nostalgia value wanted to play them (we don't plan on competitive, just locals, mainly for lack of time). Are they viable or do they get stomped from everything under the sun? And what changes did we miss? Last time I played was ycs 2014 with qliphort so I know pendulums at least. Thanks for the help.
Prinny Instructor Valvatorez idk about dark magician but blue eyes has become a good top tier deck. look up blue eyes chaos max dragon decks on RUclips to see some gameplay.
My trouble with Prices is only on nonsplashable cards Spent $75 dollars on 3 strike, but every $30 to $50 budget deck I build can have those strikes with out costing me. And if strike gets hit to 1 I will now have 2 to trade away. The price fall may go from $25 to $20 so I will get back most of the vaule I spent on it. BUT if you get a $40 center piece card to a deck that only works with its archtype, then the archtype is killed on the ban list, the card becomes useless and pluments in price. So I can no longer use it and I can not get vaule back for it. That is my problem. a card prices. It lead me to stop playing major decks cause when Konami took the dates off the ban list I went from turning cards for 75% of what I got for to 10% so I could no longer afford it
I mostly play meta Decks and have my gren maju deck that i change for every format and it works pretty well. When i dont Know what to play i just Grab my maju
Hey Great stuff guys! I'm just a fan with something I'd like to see in the channel! Is it possible that we could have more videoes without Paul in them he's in nearly every one and I'd like to see Trell lead a conversation or perhaps Calvin; mixing up the team in videoes to get some new ideas and points of view in the content. I think it would be cool. I know Paul is the defacto "leader" of APS, but I would like to hear the jokesters of the channel flex a little more. Just a suggestion.
Sdgtdp you don't have to use the other mechanics just understand how they work. some deck use xys summoning some use synchro summoning others do fusion or pendulum summoning. then there are other decks that don't even use either of those mechanics.
I can relate to the Vanguard story. I played Vanguard for awhile, and it's really just too luck based. I beat opponents with "worse" cards than them, simply because I lucked out on my attacks.
After watching your videos, I've gotten myself back into Yu-Gi-Oh, I've been working on my deck the past few days as me and my brother have worked up quite a collection over the years. My main question is mostly with the power creep, I run Destiny Heroes and I'm a little worried that it's outdated and is just bad at this point in the game, I know about the new destiny heroes that came around with the Arc V anime, but I've always liked Destiny heroes and have wanted to run them, any general advice on this would be much appreciated
Been watching some of your videos and now i'm a fan of your channel. I meam no disrespect by this, but if saw the dude with the dread locks irl i wouldnt be able to guess he plays YuGiOh to save my life.
Only one thing to know, really. 1. If your opponent starts an OTK with a years-long card-combo, just activate a MST. Say you negate. This can cause one of two scenarios: 1. Your opponent blindly ragequits and you win the duel. Or 2. Your opponent asks which card you want to negate. If your opponent asks which card is negated, you´re fucked.
im getting back into yugiyo , and I'd love the little bits of info that y'all have . im still trying to play my gravekeepers , and I'm still trying to update them with the new meta . I looked into pendulum monsters they don't look op but I think they'd preform petty poorly in my setup . Any tips on building a better gravekeeper deck or deck building in general.
I love Archfiends the newer ones but I know they not meta deck ,so when I do win against the meta I feel like that player sucked not that my deck had a chance,lol. but I did spend to build more meta decks starting with a $30 budget and go from there but not trying to spend $200 on building a deck.
I know this is not related to the video but their are some cards I need for my deck and their only selling them in dark illusion packs what do i where do I go
The only thing I'm hugely concerned about is the fact that Konami took the dates off the banlist. I would fully invest in zoodiac if I wasn't full on PTSD about Konami going: "lmao here you go, the deck is dead now" all of a sudden. I love the deck a lot and I want to play it, but I'm too scared to invest.
have you ever encountered a card called scanner and if so please Elaborate for us on your personal thought thoughts you guys are awesome wish they had more tournaments in athens alabama keep up the great videos guy can you do a shout out to my cousin Joseph Palma he loves yu-gi-oh and your guys videos
Don't use more than 40 cards in a deck unless it's part of some rogue build or everything searches out everything, you need the raw draw power more than the versitility
Relying on 1 card to appear to appear in your starting hand in a 60 card deck to start making any plays is bricky by nature and if your opponent has it as well, you just fucked yourself, this is about as situational as half the cards in the anime, how is it meta?
Zero Ace Noids run three copies as well as Left Arm Offering to make it work. The advantage it generates is obscene. Some decks like Paleo and Minervasworn make use of it as well. 60 also isnt too bad if you're running multiple desires + grass looks greener
if i can beat Trell in a duel with my red eyes or magnet decks will Paul send me a autographed magnet berserkion and write on the back of it, "Gravekeeper's are awesome and they should get support"
Played Yugioh in gx era and loved it than i took a brake until now, last day i watched some yugioh duels and i am not gonna lie, shit changed a lot. How many turns do people need to end a duel? Thinking about start over again with digital games but like i said it looks way more complicated, what are you guys suggest?
Emek Sancar my blue eyes and dark world decks are considered "slow" in the current meta, but can end games by the 2-3rd turn, if my opponent goes first I can usually win 1st turn with blue eyes or if I brick I can pull off a 2-3rd turn win, very fast, but slow against current tier 1 decks, so if you prefer the slower grind game of the GX era I don't really recommend any new sets since they don't cater to that crowd any more, look around your town and see if any shops hold casual events, one of my local shops has cross banlist tourneys and I love playing with my 2004 Chaos Deck
Its realy sad man, i guess its all about building a deck rather that playing it, i mean in game stuff is important for me, strategy, resource management and skill these stuff should matter, anyway i think i am gonna stick with heartstone, and i wonder how anime works, are characters play 3 turns max also :D
the current meta is relatively slow, because Zoodiacs dominate, D.Barrier & Strike are at 3 so OTK combos can be frozen or interrupted, & my body as a shield can prevent board wipe based OTKs which are among the most common, the main difference is the person going 1st can pull 3 extra cards from their deck after thinning it by 3 so have an advantage in the grind game and are more likely to win, yes you can lose in a turn, but sometimes it can come down to chipping around 1200-4200 at a time over 5, & the player interaction playing out resources is a huge part of the match up in deciding who wins
One thing that should of went along is, dont shit on what other people play. What I mean by that is, if you like playing casual dont shit on your friend who likes to play meta. Same goes for if you like playing meta dont shit on your friend who plays casual. My friends and I play decks we love, some are casual, some end up using meta cards. My friend who plays mostly casual decks cuz meta decks "arent fun" to play against and shits on one of us (primarily me) who uses high end cards (like d barrier) before and after he loses to the deck. Its not our fault that he wont run more competitive cards/decks, just like him we use cards we love. (None of us use Zoos or true draco. What we use are, heroes, shinobird, harpies, ddd's, spyral, galaxys, zarc, yosenju, superheavies, dinomist, sharks, cyber angels) Yet our friend gets mad when we win. He wants all duels to be 50/50 but thats not how it works then wont play against certain decks we have because theyre "not fun" when the only problem is, if he ran better techs or you know more meta cards his decks can compete with ours but hed rather us dumb down our decks to be only "casual"
anyone live in Texas near Houston cause I live in katy and I'd like to find a place to play since I only ever played in school and I'd like to play with people who use the rules cause I'd like to learn the rules that I don't know, and I want to play in general cause its fun since I'm out of school
MST. It does not negate. it took me an hour to explain this to my little brother, and he still thinks I was just cheating so my bottomless trap hole worked.
Lol I Just Got Back In To It And Was Wondering Why The Fuck The Cards That Effect Level Don't Effect The XYZ Monsters....Shout Out To You And Your Homies, For Educating Me. Haha
Hey everyone! Hope you enjoyed this new video! *Let's try to break 1,000 Likes!!*
What's something a person should know before they dive into playing Yu-Gi-Oh?
There's a serious hygiene problem in the community. Please for the love of God, take a shower
Team APS Know how much certain cards and other things cost.
Team APS 1.its a card game and a computer game YGOPRO etc 2. it is fundamentally important to know how to read and have a tad bit of common sense 3. you will get robbed if you're inattentive at locals or regionals or both 4. it's an expensive game 5. this game actually requires the manual for lots of rules and will have unheard of rules which are written by konami on their yugioh website 6. reading beyond the manual is important i.e. rulings of certain cards 7. the game changes in waves 8. it's a trading card game so instead of just buying everything you want try to trade as well.
Where do u get the specific decks you need? For example i want a geargia deck but the structure deck is pretty bad.
so how do i get that Budget deck profile and that exact cards, do i get em all online individually or buy decks online? or just buy packs?
Keven Hernandez so two ways individually or people sell prebuilt decks on Amazon and eBay. if you're looking for particular rarities etc better off buying individually because unfortunately people will rip you off. the best way to buy cards individually is looking up the market of yugioh cards on : Yugioh Prices website or app then look at retail prices versus individual sellers. hope this helps. i built all my decks this way then traded what i didn't need to other players IN PERSON no online trades or at least i learned my lesson from online trades got my Slifer robbed like that
5 things to know before you play yugioh:
1. mst negates
2. main deck 3 winged dragon of ra sphere mode in every deck
3. if you have no monsters on the field you can summon dark magician and declare a direct attack therefore you win.
4. Play "maxx c" if your opponent activates pot of duality.
5. You can only activate magic cylinder if you have dark magician girl on the field since only herself can hold it.
Nuff said.
Staki So is it weird that I actually was gonna say 1 & 3 in the video?
Trell T Not at all buddy I just made it easier for ya.
Staki LOOL
This man is my God lol
6. Always Dark Bribe your opponent's Upstart Goblin.
The importance of card sleeves and how to shuffle cards properly.
I have just started playing yugioh last week and I am still learning new rules new card effects etc That's probably the hardest game I've seen but I love it and I am addicted to it....
TripleV-2 Hang in there then. It'll get better if you want it to!!!
TripleV-2 same bro, shit is lit. So many cards available to satisfy my interests from dragons to samurais to space stuff.
Ditto
2 years late but now I’m in the same boat! Hope you guys are all still playing! 👍🏽
Costs are paid upon activation, not upon effect resolution. It's not hard to understand, but it is very important to know, because chains resolve in weird ways.
Jack Casey soul charge
The LP loss is not a cost, just like discarding due to Dark World Dealings isn't a cost. Because Konami is on drugs.
Dark World Dealings' purpose is to put a card in the grave, that's it's relevant effect, the only reason you draw one 1st is a neg 2 to get a grave effect would be weak as hell
I'm not talking about the purpose of cards, just the wording. I just used Dark World Dealings as an example of a rare card where discarding is not a cost.
I love these videos that are still based around Yu-Gi-Oh but are applicable to any card game.
+Lkmdude Glad you see the levels to this! We try to plan certain topics with that in mind.
My tip: If you take a break from Yugioh, keep following the game. If you don't the game will be really hard to get back into because 90% of what you used to play will not be viable at all.
Someone could argue that doesn't really count as taking a break though.
True. I would say just keep an eye on like 1/2 YugiTubers. And if a new super OP card/archetype is announced. You don't gotta buy new cards or play, but just seeing a thumbnail that says "Zoodiacs Tier 0" helps you know whats out there and what you wanna play when you decide to pick the game up again. I stopped playing for like 1 1/2 years and it took me a good minute to get acclimated to the new meta again and all the crazy new techs and stuff.
@John Doe taking a break from the game. So you're taking a break from playing, you can still follow Yu-Gi-Oh! news and be taking a break with the game.
Taking a break from the game and taking a break from YGO is the same thing. You don't have to be unplugged from YGO entirely to take a break. Being familiar with the game already and following news simply gives you an info map that tells you where to start from if you want to pick up back playing it. Or even seeing new spins on old things like all of the Fusion and Ritual stuff. You may look at a Yugi-tuer talking about them and it might peak your interest.
Living under a rock about anything and then coming out to play isn't a good idea.
This game power creeps at a pretty fast and interesting way. I'd suggest you just do research on a deck before building one after getting back in.
CAN WE GET A TEAM APS TORNAMENT with all the members using w e deck they want who tops aps march 2017?!!
Surprised you guys didn't say something along the line of "You need to know how to clean your smelly self!"
We've probably said it enough in other videos. Nevertheless, they persist...
You guys basically gave all the right pointers. The thing to remember is to have fun playing the game.
Golden rule.
When I look at how expensive this game is, like I love the game, but I don't "spend $600+ to build a good deck" love it. If I were to actually buy a deck, you can bet I'm gonna get all those cards in the lowest rarity possible because I'm not paying hundreds of dollars just so all my cards can be shiny. Shiny or not, they still work the same way.
As far as metas and the ban list, I ignore both of those and just play with the cards that I want to use. I really don't care what Konami says is banned, since I just play the game with my friends anyway.
Blue Sparx that's the thing with cost, the decks don't cost $600+ because people get the rarest version, they cost that much because many of the necessary cards for a deck are single print cards, for example, Zoodiacs use Zoodiacs Barrage, which is a $100 card that has only been printed once, so to play a competitive build you absolutely need a playset which ends up being $300 for those three cards because there is no cheaper version of the card, this is true for every single meta deck, my blue eyes build was $850, but if I went out and bought the rarest version of each card I'd be in the $2000+ range
Yea, I'm aware. I just used rarities as an example because I can't believe people would add extra cost on such expensive cards just to make them more aesthetically pleasing. I would never spend more than a couple dollars on a single card. It just isn't worth it.
Blue Sparx to you that is, at my workplace a lot of the people in office play as well as I do and all of our decks are in the $500+ range, but if you go to locals there's tons of kids with $50-100 decks, they play what they can afford for their playstyle, not going to tell a 14 year old to spend $500 on a deck, but I'm not going to recommend a $50 deck to someone who can afford the meta
Mr. Señor damn i thought i was going all out for spending 30 bucks on toon kingdom.
Yea, it seems really excessive. And I forgot to mention my other issue with this is that you spend all that money on the cards, and then they become useless when the next meta rolls in and forces you to buy even more overpriced decks.
I had stopped playing in round 2010-11, but I've always kept up with the game from afar, just researching and understanding the new rules and such, so I'm glad I can say I have most of my dark magician legacy support, just gotta find some spots in Va to play
Spot on insights guys! As a player, I totally agree with the things you discussed
Just topped my first locals using True King Dinosaurs only playing 2 months. I like to think that I'm doing well for 2 months on account of the fact that like half the people made top 8 at a regional.
I completely agree with you on knowing the mechanics. I always learn the mechanics and even if I don't play the deck its still useful to know. It also helps mentally as you won't get as intimidated or worried because you know whats going on, rather than just cards going everywhere and you're confused. If you expect to win against the meta with an old deck I think it would be best to atleast go into like ygopro or something and use those meta decks and learn how the operate and learn the combos and then, you as a player will develop. Atleast that's what I believe :)
wait, Trell is a Heat fan! This changes everything!
I know right!!
Study the top decks/meta of each format, and make your deck choice based on what counters those few powerful decks if you're going to play competitively.
Judge, does this video start a chain? ;)
It most certainly does.
Still waiting on Clear Wing/Crystal Wing reprint.....those prices on TCG.com.......
Xebenatros Xeracroft Pretty sure we've had a Clear Wing reprint.
Clear Wing got a reprint tho. He's $5
Nerdy George Washington yea, clear wing was reprinted in mega tins as a secret rare
Crystal Wing on the other hand I will not debate. Fucker is 80 dollars.
I did see the reprint, actually forgot about it for awhile, not being cheap but to me, buying a single card for 5$ or more seems......dirty? If that is the right word to use, I'll pick it up sometime down the line, but as for Crystal Wing......ouch.
It's so sick that you're playing Gramatik in the video, such a great artist.
Incredible.
Well it's pretty annoying when people just spend a ton of money on whatever the new top tier, best OP deck to be is and then act like they're good. Konami picks what they want to win, and people spend stupid amounts of money on it. It comes to a point where the game skips skill and goes to the size of your wallet
→Spotted the scrub
DeltaTheAwsome PSYFrame I'm just stating the facts lol, the truth can be a tough pill to take
hi I am new to yugioh, watched back through the anime 99 episodes on crunchyroll and I am getting in to the card game with my bro just wanted to say as a new person your videos are really helpful
Thanks, I'm glad they've been helpful! How are you enjoying the anime?
I love it, I watched it as a kid but it has been years so rewatching has been really fun. The deck I am using will be gravekeeper.
No matter what style you play, Control, Combo, or Ramp, people will complain about it, also everyone will critique your deck, but the most important thing is that you're confident in your build, once you learn your deck, you become the best player in the world with that deck.
I've introduced alot of people yo yugioh. Given them my own decks to start, take it slow, ease them into it. One of the first things I always tell them is to have fun. Never take it too seriously.
I think playing DevPro is a good way to start out if you're coming back after a long time out, or just starting out. It gives you access to any card you want, allows you to experiment and see what you like, and it spoonfeeds you rulings and card effects basically, allows you to spend time getting used to this kind of stuff before you jump in, and then you can take it up to locals from there.
I have to say that Hobbies are expensive but it does not have to be. I honestly feel that we should be able to use Japanese cards from the ocg.
Lmao I've played Yugioh since it was been released. However, it's Not What I meant. Ocg cards are greatly cheaper due to the rarity difference. For example, I would rather pay $10 bucks for a zoodiac barrage from japan rather hen $70+ In the tcg. Sadly you're unable to play ocg copies in the tcg which does not make sense to me as it's simply corporate greed. It would not bug me if the card pools were the Identical between ocg and tcg.
Usually Ebay, when that fails jakarade.com has my vote. comparing the 2 prices is best.
Angel Generation you can't play with OCG cards, unless it's a friendly match
To be fair you can use them at your locals if it's okay with the owner and the judges at your location. However, you can't use them at regionals and events.
geargone if its both printed in tcg and ocg its okay as long as you have a way of proving what is wrote on in in English. but there is a reason why TCG and OCG are spilt and its not yu-gi-ohs fault
I've been playing competitively since Duelist Genisis' release, so I'm fine with all the complicated stuff. But recently my brother and even my friend has shown interest in Yugioh. Let me tell you, teaching them how to play has been a nightmare... Now Link's are coming out and it's just going to be another headache lmao
You guys are awesome, and I love the videos. VERY new player, but y'alls insights are great. KEEP 'EM COMING!
Welcome to the party!
I used to play Yu-Gi-Oh (with friends, not competitive) wayyy back in the day when the best card was Blue Eyes White Dragon.... Damn that sentence makes me feel old.
I'd love to know what you guys think is the worst deck ever made and the best deck ever made as well as what is your personal favourite deck to play. Love your content guys, keep it going another 4 years
One thing I can appreciate about YuGiOh is that there are certain decks that are completely anti-meta, but when they're played against a meta deck they can actually pop off and have the meta player rage quit. I play a Red deck on ygo pro and I have gotten a few times that a meta player actually had a good field but got beaten by just me getting one synchro off.
I'm still smacking anything moving with a classic control/gravity bind deck... Because of the new link summoning format slowing down the board, it's actually easier for a control deck to pop the boards and stall opponents... You guys look like some homies I'd smoke a few blunts and duel with.. #subscribed
Before Hurricane Ike, I had around 6000 cards(structure decks, starter decks, booster packs and grab bag assorted). I even had a pre-legal Ra(ordered a 100cnt grab bag, they sent me Ra in a solid plastic sleeve😀. Contacted them, for free they sent me my order☺). I even had the Duel Masters Guide collection(with my favorite card; Dark Paladin😀).
But....after Ike came and went, looters robbed my home, one thing they stole was my entire card collection😞).
Well, that's long past
Anyway. My favorite deck style, best I can describe, is a combo of spellcaster/warrior/dragon, as evidence of my favorite card☺. I'm the kind(or at least I used to be, before finances became tight), that prefers to have as large a collection as possible to amalgamate my combo deck☺(find out what works best with my desired build).
I have a few cards right now, and will someday rebuild my collection☺. I now have a *legal* Ra😀.
I only really collect the classic cards. I just love them for the art and how much fun it was to build decks when I was younger. If you had a cards with 1400 attack that was the shit, now it's worth nothing it's a shame that the cards became so overpowered in my opinion
Blackwings will never die
Based on playtesting two decks: Salamangreat vs. Dinowrestler...yeah, you two are right.
I'd recommend Xyz for new players since they likely won't have a huge Extra deck and need every slot immediately when they start building since Xyz are the easiest special summons to learn by simply matching levels.
Great video guys, keep up the content. I'm personally stuck hard between competitive and casual because of where I live and my schedule. When I move to university I imagine I'll be going in more competitive route, but building some fun decks too, but with Link summoning I imagine I'll be playing around with some older decks to see if they will be more competitive.
Link Format - Zoodiac, Mermail, Kozmo, Lawn Noid etc. Links didn't even slow the game down, only dumbed and reduced the viable card pool as a cash grab.
Links weaken turn 1 boards & slow down the rate at which decks can make multiple plays in a turn, & turn 1 stun can be an autowin which is a lot harder to accomplish after links, & Mermails aren't exactly brand new, links make the game slower relative to where it is now and increase the viability of some older decks, OTK plays have been part of the game since before synchros, for links slow doesn't mean more turns, it means doing less in 1 turn
Marcus stop your BS. How does links stop Main Deck spam? Oh wait it doesn't.
not counting infernoids which most people expect to see bans/limits for for links main deck spam puts out in general 1, maybe 2 negates, which is in line with what extra deck based decks can do consistently after Links
yeah i got that,i know some of my fav decks/cards would not be competitive(or have the ability to win) in the slightest
I have a question. For the longest I have been back and forth between competitive and Local hobby level of dueling. I find MUCH more fun in dueling locals, lower stakes, but you see a MUCH larger variety of rogue decks and deck combinations, opposed to everyone using 3-4 different decks over and over (not that THAT is bad, it has to be this way, just look at Online games, some weapons are MUCH better than others and duh, you use the best) But the question is, what does everyone in the community prefer, the cheaper, more accessible level or the hyper competitive level. I, Personally find more enjoyment in locals. Much more friendly, and i love sharing my expertise with newer players (i love teaching and being a mentor)
Talking about games that can get stale, it is MODERN magic. You will always have like Burn or Infect in top tier. Every now and then someone will build a glass canon, come out of nowhere and take the month by storm, but then after all the top tiers lost to the deck 4-5 times, it's weaknesses will be exploited and we will just be back to the usual top tier decks such as Affinity, Infect, Burn, Urza Tron - so forth. Each deck might just run slight variants. But yea. Not saying it is bad because there will always be the surprise factor as mentioned. But in Yugioh stuff is always changing. Both are great games though. Just interesting to see the differences in meta formats.
what face was that on trells at 00:00?! :D
anyways good videos as always keep bringing quality yugioh content
love from Iceland !
Jeez. I stopped in 2004. This was when Jinzo, 3 hayabusa knights w/ 3 axe of despairs can end it one attack lol.
I have a ton of old cards and probably won't expand my collection any time soon.
But what's cool is that I can build several totally viable decks that can play well against each other.
So I can still play with friends, just without the newest and best cards.
It's kind of like playing in the past.
Does your shirt mean " youtuber" or " player"?
: P
Some of these things to know are points MST.TV covered in a video about 5 unrealistic reasons people quit. Something you didn't mention was power creep and how old cards become out classed to new better versions; tying into that is sometimes your cards will lose their value.
Expensive is right! As for it "ever changing", it should already be known that after Link Summoning, there will be another way to summon monsters. Granted maybe after 2-3 years, but it will happen again, and again...typical questions I ask are "do you want to PLAY? Or do you want to WIN?" Playing is easy, buy a structure deck and use it. Winning in this game costs money, sometimes way too much. I'll stick with my "jank" decks ( that I spent hundreds on over the years, that are now "worthless"). I can still use those, at least for now.
Since the game does keep changing, buy a Link Structure deck (not the starter, wait for the structure deck) and just use it until the next change comes out. Otherwise, find players who are "okay" with playing in the same format/era as the cards you have. No point at throwing more money at Konami, or the secondary market, when things change everyday in this game. Or just find another game...but Yu-Gi-Oh! is one expensive hobby. Yes, its a hobby people. I said it.
I'll look into the costs of other games. EDIT: Seems like all card games are expensive (when it comes to the CCG/TCG variety). Only cheap ones are the "boxed" board game style ones, with a limited card pool to use. Maybe try that style of game, if you're on a budget. You won't find it being "cheap" in any of the CCG/TCG games out there. Good luck to all!
Azrael4321 for all we know after link summoning we could see dungeon dice monsters reappear
@Team APS not yugioh but what clan do you play in vanguard i'm a touken ranbu and link joker player myself
I have a serious question. I just recently started to get back into yugioh so i ordered some sleeves. Everyone told me that pc whites were the best so thats what i got. Later i found out that their were different sizes ( i got standard ) So my question is, should i just trash them? Or is it acceptable to use standard sized sleeves instead of Mini (Yugioh) sized?
SSGSS Gohanks try to resell them. But I highly recommend small sleeves.
Im not "new, to yugioh but i am a noob with some good cards, can you please make a maybe series "IN DEPTH YUGIOH RULES" or guide because there are alot of things, i am uncertain about.. Btw love the channel you guys are great 👍
i'm just waiting on link format (or until we get more official info) because i dont want to waste money on cards that might be unplayable in a few months
you can practice links on ygopro salvation, it's a manual online server, then you'll have a fair idea of what works with the mechanic or not
& ocg has already gotten the mechanics information
Good work guys!!!This video isn't just good is useful too:)
Notification SQUAD UP!!
Love the videos guys. Keep them coming. Question, What's a good source for card rulings?
Yu-Gi-Oh Wikia is a good place.
Can u make a budget deck video. Like $50 and under or $75 and under.
Still running Vampires in 2017.
"The game is ever-changing and helps it not become stale".
Looks at Zoodiac being played by 95% of people...
Its different variants though...and PaleoFrogs won the last YCS anyways
Variants or not, you don't start seeing cards other than the standard Zoo combo that I'm sure everyone and their dog has memorized at this point until Turn 3-4 (assuming it even gets to that point) and I know the Paleo thing. 'Tis the reason I put 95%. I acknowledge that there's a lil' bit that isn't Zoo, but they're really obscured thanks to, you guessed it, Zoo.
Zoodiacs have been out for like a month, chill, complain if they're still dominating in 6, which tbf they might be, but with different builds
& the Zoo combo isn't standardised either, there are variations & summon orders to play around certain cards like ghost ogre & ways to gain more advantage, some people even play sub optimal versions of the combo to bait out opposing options or smokescreen a follow up play or tech
But that statement is true. Any deck at a peak near tier 0 capacity isn't going to be that way for a long time. Sometimes as short as 3 months. THen those 95% of players have to scramble to move on to the next big thing which is especially hectic in terms of the market.
2021 update :
1) chain blocking
2) always run called by the grave in the deck
3) 3x ash blossom is like water for humans... Necessary
4)this hobby is expensive af
5) salamamgreat is probably the best deck for new yugioh players to get the hang of the playstyle
The basics of yugioh: quite simple
The details: hard as hell
Hello everybody, me and my brother wanted to play again after a 2, almost 3 years hiatus from yugioh. We saw that blue eyes and dark magician are recieving some really neat support and for nostalgia value wanted to play them (we don't plan on competitive, just locals, mainly for lack of time). Are they viable or do they get stomped from everything under the sun? And what changes did we miss? Last time I played was ycs 2014 with qliphort so I know pendulums at least. Thanks for the help.
Prinny Instructor Valvatorez idk about dark magician but blue eyes has become a good top tier deck. look up blue eyes chaos max dragon decks on RUclips to see some gameplay.
how do you find a local place to have yugioh battles
My trouble with Prices is only on nonsplashable cards
Spent $75 dollars on 3 strike, but every $30 to $50 budget deck I build can have those strikes with out costing me. And if strike gets hit to 1 I will now have 2 to trade away. The price fall may go from $25 to $20 so I will get back most of the vaule I spent on it.
BUT if you get a $40 center piece card to a deck that only works with its archtype, then the archtype is killed on the ban list, the card becomes useless and pluments in price. So I can no longer use it and I can not get vaule back for it.
That is my problem. a card prices. It lead me to stop playing major decks cause when Konami took the dates off the ban list I went from turning cards for 75% of what I got for to 10% so I could no longer afford it
I mostly play meta Decks and have my gren maju deck that i change for every format and it works pretty well. When i dont Know what to play i just Grab my maju
Hey random question and feel free not to answer but does any of team APS blaze up??? Card games and herb go like yin and yang in my opinion
Pleading the fifth!
Do special summoning cancel the battle phase?
When they brought up the huge divide... I expected Pot of Desires...
Hey Great stuff guys! I'm just a fan with something I'd like to see in the channel! Is it possible that we could have more videoes without Paul in them he's in nearly every one and I'd like to see Trell lead a conversation or perhaps Calvin; mixing up the team in videoes to get some new ideas and points of view in the content. I think it would be cool. I know Paul is the defacto "leader" of APS, but I would like to hear the jokesters of the channel flex a little more. Just a suggestion.
Easier said than done, but keep your fingers crossed and it just might happen...!
So do you HAVE to use all the new mechanics to be viable? Maybe just use one, like pendulum summoning? Or will you be destroyed?
Sdgtdp you don't have to use the other mechanics just understand how they work. some deck use xys summoning some use synchro summoning others do fusion or pendulum summoning. then there are other decks that don't even use either of those mechanics.
I can relate to the Vanguard story. I played Vanguard for awhile, and it's really just too luck based. I beat opponents with "worse" cards than them, simply because I lucked out on my attacks.
I got lucky considering my favs are glad beasts and they can still work in 2017 because solemn brigade and card of demise are a thing ✌️️
After watching your videos, I've gotten myself back into Yu-Gi-Oh, I've been working on my deck the past few days as me and my brother have worked up quite a collection over the years. My main question is mostly with the power creep, I run Destiny Heroes and I'm a little worried that it's outdated and is just bad at this point in the game, I know about the new destiny heroes that came around with the Arc V anime, but I've always liked Destiny heroes and have wanted to run them, any general advice on this would be much appreciated
Been watching some of your videos and now i'm a fan of your channel. I meam no disrespect by this, but if saw the dude with the dread locks irl i wouldnt be able to guess he plays YuGiOh to save my life.
Thanks and welcome to the party! You never know who might actually be an avid Yu-Gi-Oh player!
question: do you believe if devpro, salvation and etcetera weren't introduced that the physical card game would be different?
Yeah. I think people would play a bit more in the here and now rather than 6 months ahead.
standard in MTG rn kinda reminds me a lot of yugioh with its current speed and price
GO BLUE EYES
Only one thing to know, really.
1. If your opponent starts an OTK with a years-long card-combo, just activate a MST. Say you negate.
This can cause one of two scenarios:
1. Your opponent blindly ragequits and you win the duel.
Or 2. Your opponent asks which card you want to negate.
If your opponent asks which card is negated, you´re fucked.
im getting back into yugiyo , and I'd love the little bits of info that y'all have . im still trying to play my gravekeepers , and I'm still trying to update them with the new meta . I looked into pendulum monsters they don't look op but I think they'd preform petty poorly in my setup . Any tips on building a better gravekeeper deck or deck building in general.
Yha. I'm getting into drag racing as well. 7k motor, fuck. lol
I love Archfiends the newer ones but I know they not meta deck ,so when I do win against the meta I feel like that player sucked not that my deck had a chance,lol. but I did spend to build more meta decks starting with a $30 budget and go from there but not trying to spend $200 on building a deck.
been wondering if you could do kozmo decks list and some game play?
I know this is not related to the video but their are some cards I need for my deck and their only selling them in dark illusion packs what do i where do I go
Martin Robles Buy a booster box on eBay
they're really not being sold as singles on ebay? what cards if you don't mind my asking ?
dark magic magic vail chocolate magician girl
and a few other cards related to dark magician deck like dark magician rod
I heard bistro boxes aren't that good because even if you do find the card you want the the chances of find the same one you want are pretty slim
The only thing I'm hugely concerned about is the fact that Konami took the dates off the banlist. I would fully invest in zoodiac if I wasn't full on PTSD about Konami going: "lmao here you go, the deck is dead now" all of a sudden. I love the deck a lot and I want to play it, but I'm too scared to invest.
have you ever encountered a card called scanner and if so please Elaborate for us on your personal thought thoughts you guys are awesome wish they had more tournaments in athens alabama keep up the great videos guy can you do a shout out to my cousin Joseph Palma he loves yu-gi-oh and your guys videos
Dark World cards could definitely confuse newer players.
Don't use more than 40 cards in a deck unless it's part of some rogue build or everything searches out everything, you need the raw draw power more than the versitility
Zero Ace or unless you play Grass, then a 60 card deck is pretty much necessary
But why would a beginner run it?
A lot beginners want to get into the meta, grass is meta
Relying on 1 card to appear to appear in your starting hand in a 60 card deck to start making any plays is bricky by nature and if your opponent has it as well, you just fucked yourself, this is about as situational as half the cards in the anime, how is it meta?
Zero Ace Noids run three copies as well as Left Arm Offering to make it work. The advantage it generates is obscene. Some decks like Paleo and Minervasworn make use of it as well. 60 also isnt too bad if you're running multiple desires + grass looks greener
Trell is a Heat fan? if so that's awesome!
if i can beat Trell in a duel with my red eyes or magnet decks will Paul send me a autographed magnet berserkion and write on the back of it, "Gravekeeper's are awesome and they should get support"
i have not played the game since late high when i was 16.now im 25 i used a keto and one lol the kid was doing synch still got smack down
Played Yugioh in gx era and loved it than i took a brake until now, last day i watched some yugioh duels and i am not gonna lie, shit changed a lot. How many turns do people need to end a duel? Thinking about start over again with digital games but like i said it looks way more complicated, what are you guys suggest?
Emek Sancar my blue eyes and dark world decks are considered "slow" in the current meta, but can end games by the 2-3rd turn, if my opponent goes first I can usually win 1st turn with blue eyes or if I brick I can pull off a 2-3rd turn win, very fast, but slow against current tier 1 decks, so if you prefer the slower grind game of the GX era I don't really recommend any new sets since they don't cater to that crowd any more, look around your town and see if any shops hold casual events, one of my local shops has cross banlist tourneys and I love playing with my 2004 Chaos Deck
Its realy sad man, i guess its all about building a deck rather that playing it, i mean in game stuff is important for me, strategy, resource management and skill these stuff should matter, anyway i think i am gonna stick with heartstone, and i wonder how anime works, are characters play 3 turns max also :D
Emek Sancar pretty much. a four round game is split across two episodes.
the current meta is relatively slow, because Zoodiacs dominate, D.Barrier & Strike are at 3 so OTK combos can be frozen or interrupted, & my body as a shield can prevent board wipe based OTKs which are among the most common, the main difference is the person going 1st can pull 3 extra cards from their deck after thinning it by 3 so have an advantage in the grind game and are more likely to win, yes you can lose in a turn, but sometimes it can come down to chipping around 1200-4200 at a time over 5, & the player interaction playing out resources is a huge part of the match up in deciding who wins
how do y'all feel about banning cards as apposed to reprinting them with restrictions for example?
I don't mind erratas.
That's cool I know sangan has been errata in the past has any other cards?
Do y'all already have a video about them?
Trell should do a deck profile of his vanguard deck. BTW What Deck/Clan
you forgot to mention the over abundance of thieves
Hey i love the videos Paul, can u make a video called "What are chains" pleaseeeee thanks man
Expensive is RIGHT. My harpie deck cost me a total of $150 and with my Blue Eyes my Sages and Twin Bursts were all $20 each
Ignored what you said, brought alien deck with no supports to a local competition.
One thing that should of went along is, dont shit on what other people play. What I mean by that is, if you like playing casual dont shit on your friend who likes to play meta. Same goes for if you like playing meta dont shit on your friend who plays casual.
My friends and I play decks we love, some are casual, some end up using meta cards. My friend who plays mostly casual decks cuz meta decks "arent fun" to play against and shits on one of us (primarily me) who uses high end cards (like d barrier) before and after he loses to the deck. Its not our fault that he wont run more competitive cards/decks, just like him we use cards we love. (None of us use Zoos or true draco. What we use are, heroes, shinobird, harpies, ddd's, spyral, galaxys, zarc, yosenju, superheavies, dinomist, sharks, cyber angels) Yet our friend gets mad when we win. He wants all duels to be 50/50 but thats not how it works then wont play against certain decks we have because theyre "not fun" when the only problem is, if he ran better techs or you know more meta cards his decks can compete with ours but hed rather us dumb down our decks to be only "casual"
what does the "APS" stand for?
is a rouge deck just a deck made up of random cards?
It's a deck you don't expect to see that can actually do well through surprise factor.
I spent a lot of money, still lose, but am having fun. Is that ok?
anyone live in Texas near Houston cause I live in katy and I'd like to find a place to play since I only ever played in school and I'd like to play with people who use the rules cause I'd like to learn the rules that I don't know, and I want to play in general cause its fun since I'm out of school
MST. It does not negate. it took me an hour to explain this to my little brother, and he still thinks I was just cheating so my bottomless trap hole worked.
