Hope you guys enjoyed this retro duel! Drop a like if you did! 👍🏾 We're going to be doing this series with all of the classic 25th anniversary Yu-Gi-Oh sets if we can get them, so expect the next one (Spell Ruler) very soon! Dueling with Legend of Blue-Eyes White Dragon - ruclips.net/video/YHCtmaD0HUg/видео.html
I would definitely recommend in sets like this if you pull a fusion to be allowed polymerization and 1 copy each of the fusion materials especially if they are not in the set like the red eyes so we could potentially see some of these cool cards summoned
You could literally redo all these retro duels weekly and I'd still watch. I haven't played Yugioh since these days, eternal duelist soul is STILL in my original GBA. Thanks for the great content!
Duuuuuuuude, I miss Eternal Duelist Soul!!! My GBA got lost during a move years ago and it made me so sad. I used to go between that and Metroid Fusion religiously haha Good times
No lie, these retro duels are so much more fun to watch rather than the special summon 18 monsters first turn and read a 5000 word essay written on each card
idk man, as much as i love diving into the nostalgia, for me its the exact opposite. Atleast the modern game has a unique identity separate from the rest of the industry. Oldschool yugioh is just watered down magic the gathering with horrendous balancing.
So true, loved Yugioh as a kid and recently started collecting again as a side hobby - the cards are so over powered/complex and duelling is a joke when duelling competitively… unfortunately i dont think there is any going back now 😢
Video Idea: All YuGiOh characters' names on the wheel and whoever spin the wheel and land on a certain character, you will have all access to character's deck. Say if Paul got Mai Valentine, Paul got all Mai's decks he can work with to face his opponent. If both players got the same character in the wheel, they can work something out in the deck. For example: Paul and Alec got Yugi Muto, Paul can use Dark Magician Deck and Alec can use Silent Swordsman Deck.
I'll admit that I have been Magic the Gathering snob who's been dismissive of other TCGs for years. Your videos have convinced me that Yu-gi-oh is actually fun and interesting. Especially these throwbacks to cards from when I actually played Yu-gi-oh as a kid.
The step from LOB and mostly useless vanillas, to MRD and all the different mechanics and effects (as well as higher ATK on lv4s) really was incredible. A real boost
I randomly came across this video. This was my first yu gi oh set. Everyone was playing magic the gathering and my friend and I wanted to try something new so we started playing yu gi oh. Metal raiders was our first set. This brought back a lot of memories thanks for this video. I enjoyed it a lot.
Electric Lizard stuns non-zombie monsters due to it being part of Bakura's deck, which contains a lot of demons and zombies, they just wanted to create a synergy with those monsters.
I think it's more the early Yu-Gi-Oh trying to treat the types like they meant something other than just a variable in the strategy, like the manga/anime. "My zombies can't feel pain so they're immune to the electric shock of your lizard!" Like how Umi weakens machine types because water is bad for metal and computers.
@TVlord5 I'd say we said the same thing with different explanations as you said the manga/anime used to give cards weird interactions due to the freedom they had since there was no official product yet and I think it's great that nowadays those decisions are mentioned in some cards, a valid example is the new metalmorph trap card that coats the player's monster in an magic resisting armour, the same mentioned by Keith Howard in the manga. Yu-Gi-Oh! Is an amazing franchise and I wish I could say the same for the card game...
I was with Yugioh all the way before the starter decks and packs even hit the US streets. My first pack was Japanese Pharoahs Servant, which I picked up at a card shop and I still have. I remember MR really started to expand what we could with decks outside the predictable starter decks, and Magic Ruler/Spell Ruler again upped the deck building. This is total nostalgia for an OG player and collector like me, lol. Thanks for taking me back 20 years lol.
yeah its kinda sad we never get to see these flashy cards that used to be playground treasures. Give Twin-headed, the menace of speedrunners around the globe, its time to shine!
@@ich3730 It was arguably the first actual Fusion strategy since Thunder Dragon searches you out the 2 copies needed to make Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon and all you'd need is Polymerization in-hand. I honestly think just let them be used as Vanillas so they can be showcased. Black Skull Dragon is only slightly stronger than Blue-Eyes while all the others except maybe Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon are on par with the other 1 and 2 tribute lower rarity vanillas.
I remember buying Metal Raiders packs the most when I played 20 years ago. I bought a booster box of the reprints and can't wait to open it myself. You have a great channel here!
So glad the channel is going back to the first days of yugioh! The rare hunters series is always great fun to watch a few times a year. I would say 100% definitely use polymerization and the proper fusion materials needed to make whatever fusion cards are pulled. This would make the duels even more fun than they already are!
Hello, I'm a Yu-Gi-Oh player from China, my favorite is the Ice Enchantment, and I also play live Twins and Choppers, I was watching your handling video on our domestic bilibili platform when I first entered the pit a few years ago, and your video brought me a lot of fun, thank you very much
This was amazing! Man, Metal Raiders really had some great cards to hit with without tributing or with fun gimmicks to attack life points and hands. Sword of Dee-Seated is still one of my favorite equipped cards lol
Ive only played school yard yugioh and yugioh sacred cards, the music to that game takes me way back and the pack opening in this video made me feel a way Ive never felt before, thank you so much.
This was my favorite set for....ever? It felt like the first actual YGO set, considering Legend of the Blue Eyes was 95% normal monsters only non-named Duelist Kingdom players would use. My first pack of Metalraiders scored me a Pumpking, and it wasn't even the rare! The whole world suddenly opened up, you could actually make a good deck without a premade!
Hello, back around 2003-2005, I used to watch Yugioh when I got home from work because there was nothing else on at that time. I ended up liking it and had no idea that it was an actual game. Years later around 2019 I got my son and daughter to start watching the show and they started collecting cards. They would play each other, but I don’t think they were playing it the correct way . My son is now 17 and he still collects the cards. I have him for the month of July. Can you recommend a video on RUclips, so that I can learn to play? I think it is something that we will both enjoy.
HardLeg Gaming's youtube playlist of tutorials (Dark Hole elementary, Skill Drain high, Upstart Goblin university) is a pretty good starting place in terms of explaining things well. It's almost a decade old tho now, so it doesn't cover everything. For future reference, some things that have been added/changed since then are: -link monsters were added -pendulum monsters work somewhat differently (worse) -the field layout itself has changed somewhat (some zones have been added and/or moved) -there have been various changes to some of the more in-depth rules that don't come up as often
The only meta deck that play in your turn for a while is labrynth and its slowly dying quicker effects have always been here so i dont know what you’re complaining about
@@CaptainJLinebeckOn the contrary I have but that was much of a slow pace high stakes duels that I loved. Now it's my opponent plays on my turn and I can't do anything.
The reason electric lizard wouldn't stop a zombie is because Frankenstein's monster was given life by lightning. For that same reason flesh golems in D&D get powered up when dealt lightning damage.
@@bigcountry9593 I mean the important thing is the phsyical cards not the set as a whole, singles are managable to get and not risky so that change was a positive one.
@@qasem90 no it wasn't. Rare hunters hunt for rare cards, not get them on a fake game online. Yes they are completely fictional characters, but in there world that would have no value to them. They battle opponents for the rarest card/cards and those people have spent time and money buying packs/boxes of cards to get said rare card. All revolving around a physical card/cards in there world
Thank you for continuing to do old school games, I don't play the modern stuff and this is basically a God send for me. Also i like the other fella alot, Trey i think? I would like to see him in duels some more.
Metal Raiders is my favourite classic set - so many memorable cards. One of my first decks had Flame Cerebrus, while my brother used Launched Spider. Seeing them used again was so fun. I like these draft style duels.
Love watching old head Yu-Gi-Oh! matches reminds me of my childhood and is doing a good job refeshing me before I start a TTRPG around the anime. I've gotten a few good idea for decks now because of your guys' videos. Keep them coming!
I think electric lizard was one of those odd crossover cards from when they wanted the game to feel like the manga while also having zero clue what kind of balancing they would put into the game. Flavor wise, it makes sense for a Zombie to be immune to paralysis.
Absolutely love these old school style duels! Good wholesome Yu-Gi-Oh. Personally I love it so much more than modern day Yu-Gi-Oh. It just lost the magic to me, everything's just combo for 10 minutes and FTK or OTK
It kinda makes sense that Electric Lizard's ability excludes Zombie types, since you can't electrically stun dead things. Of course, you could spell out different effects for lots of other monster types, but you don't want to fill that whole box with text, do you? (Incidentally, I really miss when Yugioh monsters had this kind of individual flavor instead of being forced into archetypal mechanics or loaded with arbitrary immunities and search effects. If nothing else, it made it easier to remember how they worked.)
From my understanding electric lizard references zombies like Frankenstein’s monster that got reanimated from the dead by electricity. With this logic, electricity only empowers zombies, not stuns them as with living creatures. Though I’m not sure why thunder monsters aren’t also unaffected
I loved Metal Raiders. I fell in love with Shadow Ghoul and he was my Ace Monster. I modeled my deck after Rebecca Hawkins when I saw that episode. I had Sangan, Cannon Soldier, Witch of the Black Forest. All the cards that really defined the early game for me were from Metal Raiders. Shadow Ghoul may never have been a top tier card but he will always be my favorite monster. I no longer play but I have him framed with my other favorite cards.
Metal Raiders was my first set. I remember buying my first pack from a vending machine in an Ice rink, got seven tools of the bandit which excited me because it was shiny but I also wasn't sure what to think of it because of it being a trap and still not really knowing how the game worked.
Been recently watching tons of Yugioh videos and enjoying OG packs and duels and clips of the anime even, it's a shame the game became a disaster, I wanna play again after 20 years for some reason lol
Heck yea metal raiders! Black skull dragon is one of my favorites I used to play with goddess of the third eye and chaos sorcerer for a cool fusion deck that can also make chaos monsters. I never did get that black luster soldier envoy of the beginning I wanted, though
More theme deck duel ideas especially with modern support: toons, spirits, union monsters (mainly from older DM/GX sets), exodia; I think it would be cool to see you guys try to highlight these which all had such prevalence in the anime
Yooo. Love from Ireland guys! And ps! Im 30! Just got back into yugioh! I only watch these older style vids guys haha. I ordered the 2024 legendary decks tin yesterday so waiting for it to come in the post
Man this took me back. My very first pack of Yugioh cards was Metal Raiders. I still remember what was in it. Strongest monster I pulled was Roaring Ocean Snake at 2100 ATK, and of course as a kid with nothing better to compare, I thought he was the coolest thing. Good times.
I love these retro duels, but You should be allowed 1 polymerization and one fusion subtitute card like mystical sheep #1. In this case it wouldnt have mattered, but it would be cool to see Twin headed thunder dragon
Man, the old school Yu Gi Oh is so much more fun than nowadays.. Now it’s just like playing a monster on round one that says “ you win the game” …😢 I would love duel links to add a mod for old school Yu Gi Oh. People will play it so much, it would be great🙂↕️
what i would like to see is some home brews with a retro theme. No particular format, just make them a lower power level EDH style and give stuff that isnt often used some love
Im just getting back into yugioh after my accident since i cant work anymore i wish there were places u could go for like retro dueling that would be cool right now i just play with my wife when shes back from work

Is Alec feeling down?
hey what ever happened to slifer slackers i havn't seen anything about that in a while and i was enjoying it?
are you ever going to do more slifer slackers
I would definitely recommend in sets like this if you pull a fusion to be allowed polymerization and 1 copy each of the fusion materials especially if they are not in the set like the red eyes so we could potentially see some of these cool cards summoned
did paul ever come out of the closet?
You could literally redo all these retro duels weekly and I'd still watch. I haven't played Yugioh since these days, eternal duelist soul is STILL in my original GBA. Thanks for the great content!
Thanks and you're welcome! We've got more coming!
Duuuuuuuude, I miss Eternal Duelist Soul!!!

Good times
@@MongoTheMagnificent666 I still play it on my phone, haha

Absolutely agree it’s getting way to complicated now, that’s why I stopped playing
idk man, as much as i love diving into the nostalgia, for me its the exact opposite. Atleast the modern game has a unique identity separate from the rest of the industry. Oldschool yugioh is just watered down magic the gathering with horrendous balancing.
Exactly I like the old retro duels better but I do like fusion n synchro as well. Just not special summoning 20 times that part I can’t stand
@@sectorz1019I think 5Ds era with synchros was the peak before it started to get abit too wild
So true, loved Yugioh as a kid and recently started collecting again as a side hobby - the cards are so over powered/complex and duelling is a joke when duelling competitively… unfortunately i dont think there is any going back now 😢

I have said it before, but for fusions you should bend the rules and add the materials to the deck, just to use some of the iconic cards.
yeah its kinda sad we never get to see these flashy cards that used to be playground treasures. Give Twin-headed, the menace of speedrunners around the globe, its time to shine!
100% agree. Same with gate guardian for this set
@michaeldavis7775 I'm OK with that too. Or the rituals for those monsters.

Watching you guys do these old school duels never gets old!!
Haven't watched yet, but can't wait to watch later when I have time! Thank you guys for the epic nostalgia!
The editor did a terrific job on the pack openings. The pace and included commentary was excellent. 👍
We agree! I actually let him know this when I say the video, too!

I love these old school duels keep em coming. Id love to see you guys duel with yugis legendary decks!
This was amazing! Man, Metal Raiders really had some great cards to hit with without tributing or with fun gimmicks to attack life points and hands. Sword of Dee-Seated is still one of my favorite equipped cards lol
This video got me thinking about the slifer slackers series again. What happened to that one? It kinda stopped 5months ago.
Paul's opening just on the fast forward while he's talking XD.
Love the music in the background, takes me back.
Anyone else loving the sacred cards music during the pack opening ?? Damn the nostalgia
Ive only played school yard yugioh and yugioh sacred cards, the music to that game takes me way back and the pack opening in this video made me feel a way Ive never felt before, thank you so much.
I only recently found your channel but I must say I am LOVING your guys content! You have earned yourselves a new sub!

Loving the snappier pacing. I really like hearing yall talk but only so many ways to talk about old pack openings.
I am 100% down with any old yugioh duels. Love these cards
Love the old shool play, being that's what I grew up with, I kinda fell off at pendulum/link summon eras. Love to see the throwbacks
Great video as always! Loving the classic duels & the small rule changes you made work great.

For "classic" rules I can recommend any Yugioh game on Gameboy advance you can play it on PC or mobile with emulator.
the simplicity of this duel is beautiful. No meta, no multiple negates... just plain bashing each other with a bigger stick... haha
Classic Yu-Gi-Oh without my opponent taking up my turn.
The only meta deck that play in your turn for a while is labrynth and its slowly dying quicker effects have always been here so i dont know what you’re complaining about
Someone clearly never experienced what it was like when Magical Scientist was around
This.

@@Bigcevap1My comments still stands we can have all the outs and still lose on our turn.
The reason electric lizard wouldn't stop a zombie is because Frankenstein's monster was given life by lightning. For that same reason flesh golems in D&D get powered up when dealt lightning damage.
LOVE the old booster duels, please keep em coming!
11:41 that the song you here when you battle a legendary duelist for there locator card
Rare hunters? Rare hunters? rare hunters!
Easy pass no question

Seeing them used again was so fun. I like these draft style duels.
Bringing out the nostalgia for this one. First metal raiders, then music from older yugioh games. I’m all for it.
7:40 maybe the logic there is that electricity helps zombies like Frankenstein’s monster come “to life” and wouldn’t be stunned.
Love watching old head Yu-Gi-Oh! matches reminds me of my childhood and is doing a good job refeshing me before I start a TTRPG around the anime. I've gotten a few good idea for decks now because of your guys' videos. Keep them coming!
Loving these games. I can actually follow along and the nostalgia is pretty thick.
More of these kinda vids. We need to duel like this again
Instant like. Not only for classic YGO but Metal Raiders is among my favorite sets. So many iconic and nostalgic cards in there
I actually hate drafting videos but it seems to be the only way to see retro play nowadays
Loved the gameboy advanced music in the beginning
It's actually quite surprising that the big grandaddy of counter traps came out this early
Fantastic video!! Seriously fun to watch❤❤❤
Gotta love going back and playing through some of the classics for sure.
Imagine using everything that was available before Metal Raiders also, now that's some interesting play.
7:50 zombies are unaffected by paralyzing attacks
Love these duels, they’re so much fun to watch, so simple but effective
Glad you like them!
I think electric lizard was one of those odd crossover cards from when they wanted the game to feel like the manga while also having zero clue what kind of balancing they would put into the game. Flavor wise, it makes sense for a Zombie to be immune to paralysis.
Or that electricity thematically would bring life to the undead like Frankenstein monster, but yeah it’s flavor
Love the duel guys!! Definitely my favorite set as a child. :3 One suggestion though, maybe shuffle the packs instead of dividing between sides?
I played "The Sacred Cards", too! :D You should totally use the elemental alignments like in the video games next time. It'd be more fun.
Watching this while it rains here in the Arizona desert. Nothing better for this Yugiboomer.
Absolutely love these old school style duels! Good wholesome Yu-Gi-Oh. Personally I love it so much more than modern day Yu-Gi-Oh. It just lost the magic to me, everything's just combo for 10 minutes and FTK or OTK
That Black Skull Dragon pull! ❤
7:30 😂
Lmao soon as they played both their jurai-gumo, we got our lifepoints sent back to the GX era 😂
It kinda makes sense that Electric Lizard's ability excludes Zombie types, since you can't electrically stun dead things. Of course, you could spell out different effects for lots of other monster types, but you don't want to fill that whole box with text, do you?

Metal raiders is such a step up from LOB on so many ways. Power, mechanics, variety, flavour.
The Fusions were less bad over-all and Summoned Skull was the best single Tribute in the game until Jinzo.
Loved ❤ the tone when opening cards brought me back to gba games 😢🎉
The music at the start came from one of my fav Yugioh video games cool
Paul would be the guy who says "let's just see what would happen. But if you get it wrong, we draw." Lol 😂
😂 I'd take it just for a round 4
I'm very nostalgic for The sacred cards myself, So the background music is deeply appreciated.
Been recently watching tons of Yugioh videos and enjoying OG packs and duels and clips of the anime even, it's a shame the game became a disaster, I wanna play again after 20 years for some reason lol
Heck yea metal raiders! Black skull dragon is one of my favorites I used to play with goddess of the third eye and chaos sorcerer for a cool fusion deck that can also make chaos monsters. I never did get that black luster soldier envoy of the beginning I wanted, though

Great job with these editing changes! Amazing work guys keep it up
Ahhh them classic yugioh cards, bring back memories.
This video was WAAAY too entertaining 10/10
That was a much closer series of games than I expected, considering the rares drawn on both sides.
Yooo. Love from Ireland guys! And ps! Im 30! Just got back into yugioh! I only watch these older style vids guys haha. I ordered the 2024 legendary decks tin yesterday so waiting for it to come in the post
Man this took me back. My very first pack of Yugioh cards was Metal Raiders. I still remember what was in it. Strongest monster I pulled was Roaring Ocean Snake at 2100 ATK, and of course as a kid with nothing better to compare, I thought he was the coolest thing. Good times.
Awesome love these retro duels
The GBA music really pulls everything together, loving some retro duels!
Love these classic card duels. Let's Duel!!
I swore by metal raiders packs as a kid, such a fun collection of cards.
I love these retro duels, but You should be allowed 1 polymerization and one fusion subtitute card like mystical sheep #1. In this case it wouldnt have mattered, but it would be cool to see Twin headed thunder dragon
12:44, haha. Good duels.
Love these duels
These duels are making me crave a yugioh cube format. having a perfected cube of metal raiders and LoBE sounds so good 😩
My all time fav set right there 👊
just watched your red dragon vs stardust duel again. could yall do a utopia vs galaxy eyes? (my fav archetype)
This was fast for an old school deck
These retro duels and cards is so much better than modern. Games that go more than 2 turns?! No way!
It's quite a rarity to find these days. Hope you've been enjoying! :)
Cool rips! I think it's a draw. Great content, waiting for the next one!
Man, the old school Yu Gi Oh is so much more fun than nowadays.. Now it’s just like playing a monster on round one that says “ you win the game” …😢 I would love duel links to add a mod for old school Yu Gi Oh. People will play it so much, it would be great🙂↕️
GBA nostalgia music! Iykyk
This looks like goat sealed event love those so much interactions and you can use rando cards no one ever uses.
what i would like to see is some home brews with a retro theme.
No particular format, just make them a lower power level EDH style and give stuff that isnt often used some love
Im just getting back into yugioh after my accident since i cant work anymore i wish there were places u could go for like retro dueling that would be cool right now i just play with my wife when shes back from work
I wonder if Alec got flashbacks of Rare Hunters when he pulled Shadow Ghoul.
Hilarious that Paul managed to defeat Alec with Shadow Ghoul twice.
