- In today's yugioh vlog we head back to locals after the new yugioh ban list to take on Ryzeal and Malice with my favorite deck, HEROS. Distant Coder, Athena and myself also take a trip to see Crush Cards and Nyhmnim. Hopefully the holiday spirit makes the vlog feel warm and you continue to enjoy the new journey of returning to yugioh :) P.S. I included a little bit of pack opening for you sealed only 1v1 fans!

Congrats to Ruggles on winning the Most Returned Yu-Gi-Oh! Player of the Decade award!
I'm winning it next decade too 😎
The Daniel guy is such a real one, he always shows up with his 60 card pile anime deck and doesn't care if he wins or loses, guy is genuinely there to have fun at locals.
He does care if he loses it’s just not a big deal
Ruggles fit is crazy, bro is so clean at locals
Seb, Drew & Athena always have amazing fits so honestly I'm just trying to keep up
@@Ruggles117well your doing great
@@DrDuck555 appreciate you
It looks like the only locals where people understand proper grooming and hygiene
@ honestly yeah
8:23 be care, you can't activate the card you set with thrust, wholesome content thought, love to see you back
Haha, yeah, Drew was really great to lend me those and I probably should have read them better before activation 🥲 Thanks for letting me know in advance kind way 😊
5 years ago I watched the original "Returning to Yugioh" series while having breakfast before university, a lot has changed in my life since then but to have the series back now is some real fuel to my will to play the game again! Time to dust off some cards eheh (and then be destroyed at locals as well)
Also, good to see Drew! Him and CammyCakes were my go-to destiny 2 content creators back in the days.
See you in part 2 then :D
Yeah, it was kind of surreal for me to look back on the first episode too. Life is quite different, but in all good ways 😊 Glad you’re enjoying and finding it nostalgic as well. Also, Drew is the best :)
what a joy to have this man back. love the blend between yugioh and vibes
It’s a joy to be back 😊 Wishing you happy holidays!
Its so nice to see new videos from you. Also, Its really wholesome that you store your cards in the same wood box that your dad made so long ago. Its details like this that make these items special. Its not just a wood box, your dad made it, I relate to that very much because I am very nostalgic for some random things.
Yeah, the nostalgic stuff always gets me too 😊 The knife I use to open packages was my grandfathers, and I like to use it specifically to remember him. It’s the little things. Anyways, glad the video and the ideas resonated. Wishing you happy holidays 😄
Bro, I can't believe it's been 2 years since I first found out about your channel. Whenever I feel like I'm taking the game too seriously and not prioritizing fun, your videos swoop in to remind me of what an amazing opportunity it is to be able to meet new people and make new friends through pieces of cardboard.
I love hearing that! The cards and the mechanics of the game are fun, but at the end of the day it’s the people you make the real memories with :) Happy Holiday’s!
Food and friends really are the perfect staple! It's great to see you back my friend.
Your passion and attention to detail are inspiring 👏
Thanks! It's good to be back
Hey man, I discovered this channel recently and I love the vibe. Seems like you’re having fun and enjoying urself. Keep it up, very refreshing to watch :)
Welcome to the journey and thanks for the warm comment 😊 Currently working on the next one!
Christmas and Yugioh. Life is good :)
It's very nice you even took a look on the incoming support for BEs! also don't forget Supreme Darkness is about to release (more HERO support) unboxing video maybe (?
Great video as always my friend 🙂
I think this is why I keep coming back to Yugioh. I take breaks and then realize that my closest friends are in the game, and travelling with them and spending time with them is all I really want. The competitive nature of myself comes second to spending time with them. And of course I miss this type of content that you specifically provide. It's light hearted, fun, and high quality. This is the kind of content that more people should try to aim for. Show off their own and their friends personalities to show that Yugioh really is just a great way for adults to spend time together.
The vibes are always good in these videos and I will never not watch one of these because it makes my day better. Wish you could come to the United States for bigger events! Cheers and happy holidays!
Yeah, my thoughts exactly! The gameplay and new cards are typically fun, but it’s the community I love/miss most of all. I think more memories are just made while playing the game, and that’s what it’s all about. That said, thank you for kind words, it always means a lot 😊 As for the US, I’ve briefly talked to Athena about it and we want to try to go to one in 2025, so we’ll see what happens!
@Ruggles117 sounds like 2025 is going to be an amazing year! I'm excited to see what's in store!
One piece of advice is almost always ash the Fiendsmith Requiem and not engraver. Great video.
You're right, that actually makes a lot more sense lol Thanks for the tip!
such a good vibe from those videos man, this is the best part of playing yugioh, keep it up!!
Thanks, that's really what makes the game so special, the people! 😄
Your voice is deeper! I used yo watch your first returning to yugioh series 5 years ago and it was so good i kept rewatching it. So glad to see you back Ruggles!!
Haha, it really has been a while! Appreciate you still being here and along for the journey. Wishing you a bright new year :)
@Ruggles117 you too! happy new year and I look forward to more Yu-Gi-Oh from you!!!
I absolutely love you guys!! I have been a fan of Crush Cards and Kevin and even Gage for a long time!! IT's so awesome to see that kind of relationship in the yugioh community!!
I returned to Yu-Gi-Oh back when you first returned because the RUclips maelstrom randomly took me to your videos. I love the game ever since and your videos aswell. I wouldn't have met some insane people without you. So thankful for that. I hope you keep returning man! Safe and nice holidays to you and your loved ones :)
great video from Italy!!! it's the third i watch and you are doing a great sponsor for the game
Great series to watch, I’ve recently come back to the game so it feels nice to watch someone in the same boat!
Ruggles is that guy bro, uploading absolute fire
Nice to see you back, nice content brother! Always so fun and relaxing to see your videos! Love from Portugal!
Thank you for the warm welcome back! Also, much love from Canada!
your dad building you a box for your nerdy japanese gaming cards is so wholsome I love it
Yeah 😊 He was always a mans’ man interest wise, so it meant a lot that he was so supportive of my shiny cardboard collection lol
Wholesome as always good sir! Well played games; definitely good call on the Book of Eclipses. Summon Limit QCR is awesome, though it is banned unfortunately. Regarding Fiendsmith Kash, it is a deck that is built to end on something through any hand trap, but I personally hit the Fiendsmiths more. Keep up the great content and Merry Christmas, king 👑
Yeah, I need more content!!! I just found you yesterday and I’ve been binging it 😂 keep it up
Glad you found the channel and that the videos are resonating 😊 as for new content, I’m already working on the next one!
@ awesome! Absolutely down to earth content and I love the explanations on everything you do with decks and changes and different things you wanna do with them
Nerver would I thought I’d hear Ruggles say “Chill guys” there is no escape from memes
They come for us all 😅
Such high quality videos. Thank you!
This video after two weeks in the hospital really really helped change the vibes from sadness to uplifting thanks for the video ruggles and halo 3 is still the best halo game especially the campaign.
I'm glad the video could help bring some positivity during a tough time. Wishing you well and a warmer holiday season💛
I got back into the game recently too. I've always loved card games and woke up one day like "there's this thing I love doing, there's no reason for me not to be doing it, why am I not doing it?"
love the new videos also in te minute 8:25 you cant activate the set card from thrust. Hope to see more content because is absolutely amazing keep up the good work!
Haha yeah, that was my bad 😅 Still trying to familiarize myself with the new staples. Also, appreciate the love! :)
@@Ruggles117 Yes in this case it is better to set d barrier off thrust as it is really good vs Ryzeal if you call XYZ
i love watching your content man it makes me happy that you are returning with the best deck ever
Good you have a great time with another youtuber duelist that I love and follow, hope to see you with the new blue eyes deck when they come out
Appreciate you for watching! Blue-Eyes are definitely on the agenda for next year!
Extremely fun video. Made me wanting for more lol. Please make more videos like this. You’re soon to get even more recognition because it’s rare to see this types of videos on YuGiOh community
Also I’m not into playing the game so this video helps me know what types of decks people use for tournaments and ban list cards.
Cant wait for the next video. Such great production quality and a good attitude
Glad you’re enjoying the vibe! See you next week with the part 2 to this one :)
My guy, once again a great video. I’m so glad I found your channel.
Appreciate you coming back for the new videos 😊
Been running Book of Eclipse in my pure Kashtira at my locals, been loving it myself, especially since it's a dedicated blind second build of the deck
The GOAT returns, lets hecking Go!
Love your art channel btw, super inspiring
Awh, you’re the best! Thanks for the love on both channels 😊 Wishing you some wonderful games and painting sessions!
Good to see you, and crush cards playing again.
Thanks, it's good to be back! And yeah, I think the games at a fun place for re-entry. I know a lot of people coming back for blue eyes!
Crush Cards isn't back though. Not yet at least.
@AaronOneal-e7h they've done a couple videos recently. Not back, but better than it's been beeing.
@@bmj2k7 the last time they posted actual gameplay was almost a year ago. Yeah they definitely aren't anywhere near back. Sorry it was about 9 months ago, my mistake.
I'm so happy to see you back! I enjoyed all of your YGO videos (makes me want to come back as well)
I was expecting to see a HERO mirror match in round 2 before the repair happened lol
PS u can't active the set card by thrust in that same turn (not sure if anyone mentioned it already)
I’m sure that hero mirror will happen soon enough with the new support out this month! Also thank you for the warm welcome back and the tip! 😄
I haven’t looked at my cards since 2015 so glad I came across this channel
Happy to hear it’s resparking that passion for the game 😄
@ I just gotta read about the new way to play never seen the blue link monsters or understand that extra two monster zones in the middle
Just discovered your videos and I really like the commentaries and the montage while you’re playing !
Ruling : you cannot Triple Thrust, set Destiny Fusion and activate it immediatetly if your opponent doesn’t control card on the board ;)
I appreciate it! and thank you for the ruling 😅 I will read the lent cards better next time lol
glad to see you again. made my day
All of the positive feedback is making mine. Appreciate you!
Yooooo let's go! Such an amazing video to start my Friday off in style🤘🔥its getting me hyped for my locals I'm going to tonight we were told to bring a fun deck and I went for cyber dragon because that Is and always be one of my favourite decks ever!
Hope you enjoy it and had a great time with Cydra! You know I’m also a big fan 😄
@Ruggles117 nice! I remember watching your old series with Mario when you played cyber dragon and he played lightsworn and it got me into cyber dragons for a long time before my ace deck being chimera
I'm so glad of seeing u again 🍀🦉
Ruggles I used to be a fan of Yu-Gi-Oh, but I quit like a year ago with no desire to ever come back to modern. I play MTG and do multiple formats predominantly EDH. I do have Edison format stuff and don't mind playing that format. I wanted to say all this because I find your content enjoyable even though we play drastically different games. Much love from Texas, you beautiful human being!
Awh, thank for still watching along. I played a little MTG in highschool and really like it too. Glad you found a comfy space to play cards and still get that fun, social experience 😄
Great video! Just a note: @6:42 Duo Drive does not detach for cost. If it gets Impermed, no materials will go to the GY.
Oh! Actually a great heads up. Thank you!
4:50 to answer your question, you focus on the choke points of both. Hold your effect negation handtraps for sequence and unicorn mainly, ash for requiem, etc.
Screenshotting this so I actually remember, thank you 😌
@ pleasure as always!
As always love you and your content ❤️
Ps.please for the love of everything there is convince Drew to make Yu-gi-oh content 😂
best yugioh series... from italy
You’re the best! And sending love from Canada 🇨🇦
Genuinely surprised you posted again. I'm cautiously optimistic.
The third one is already half filmed 😎
Hero players normally don't do this. But you can run a chaos angel. Also heros are wonderful when paired with Mekk-knights as they bait the ash for you and give you rank 5 plays I know it's wild but it gives you a skill drain in legacy secrets. Rank 8 plays through mask change targets... You don't have to always go full faris combo. The point is recursion. Imagine getting nightfall and dpe back and then something like angel of zera just coming back. People forget and get worked. Heros can even run a utopia otk package. Mekk-knighta giving you access to a searchable dark means you can allure turbo the deck out and girsu is a mask change the 2nd target. And if you run dpe ecclesia is broken even with heros as it baits and opens up rank 4 plays and or random ass albaz or iris which is underrated especially when we run 3 impermanence and veilers and or chalice.
Hey, I've loved to see you get back into the game again. At the end of the video you mentioned potentially maining D-force's and a potential plus to it is that it would play around fiendsmith's nageting, unfortunately the fiendsmith monster non-target negates a card on the field so I don't know if it would still be super helpful. Just thought I'd share my thoughts with you, have a great one!
While I am now retired from modern yugioh to Edison format where I have gotten to dust off relics of my collection for example high rarity lyla to play lightsworn my favorite deck and a tribute to my late father Machina Gadgets maybe once my health issues get more sorted out more clearly as if i am honest the grind of YCS Anaheim was really hard on me physically and privately emotionally after the event as i have given this game the last 20 years of my life I will return to modern yugioh but that's for the future I will be following the content that pops up from your channel and others
Yugioh is in a. Great spot, it’s less break my board or lose and it’s more interactive back and forth and I love it. So glad you’re back you gotta go to ycs Vegas and do the team Vegas :)
Yeah, I think the currently format, with Ryzeal being the best deck instead of Yubel/snake eye has a lot of people excited about actually playing again. Myself included 😊
I love these videos don't ever stop please this is peeeak content!!!
So excited for this series to continue
Me too, the game actually just feels so fun right now 😃
Slick vid and great insight to you decision making!
Man, 2007 is my favourite year of Yugioh.
From Troop Dupe to Perfect Circle and obviously Card of Safe Return Zombies, love them all! ❤
Man, it really is such a diverse, well balanced format! Apprentice Monarch was also a lot of fun and a personal fav 😊
@@Ruggles117 Yeah, OG monarchs are always super fun. If you haven‘t already, you should try out some Perfect Circle. Slightly different lists throughout 2007, but you essentially always use Destiny Heroes as a tribute engine for the monarchs, mainly Raiza. Super fun getting to use Disk Commander a bunch of times and all that. 😊
Foolish burial goods it sends a spell or trap to grave it is so/so but you can run 3 of them in the main but it dose mean you have to add more cards to the main deck or cut some if you wanna keep the deck under a specific number it’s an option
Foolish Burial Goods will be your friend for Break of Destiny.
Ohh yeah that’s a great idea! We can also set it off thrust. Have they released any other great generic FBG targets over the last couple years while I’ve been out?
@@Ruggles117 rainbow bridge of salvation (searches field spell), metalfoes fusion (draw 1), black goat laughs (interruption), lightsworn aegis (negate specific for lightsworn), chaos space (draw 1 in light or dark decks), naturia sacred tree (search), duality (shuffle and draw), and galaxy cyclone (s/t pop) hope this helps
cant wait for the next episode
It’s a really wholesome one ☺️ Also some great gameplay with Bryan!
loved the vid!
also, regarding your question about a beatrice substitute, foolish burial goods is a normal spell that sends one spell or trap from the deck to the gy. so it can send the trap to search d-force. foolish burial goods can also be searched off triple tactics thrust. hope this helps!
edit: I forgot to say, don't get "foolish burial goods" confused with "foolish burial". one does spell and traps and the other does monsters.
Searching it off of thrust is actually really cool! Great thoughts 😊
thanks for bearing with me as I confused the names of thrust vs talents LOL. I haven't played paper yugioh for quite some time. happy holidays and looking forward to future vids!
Another Ruggles video = another great day 😊
Appreciate you tuning in! Comments like this always brighten my day 😊
You know Logan and Bryan from crush cards? You have officially became cool I love them so much lol
Absolutely adore them! Each year Kevin and I head to their city to do cute festive stuff, even if we aren’t all playing cards at the time. Great traditions with great people 😊
@@Ruggles117 Logan and Bryan are always great people and loves their fans like family I’m hoping and praying I get to meet them in person one day
@@Quicksilver8693hopefully we get to meet you too! 💖
@@CrushCards y’all are the sweetest human beings on this whole earth thank you so much y’all have literally made my day 🥹❤️
returning to yugioh after quiting so many times is the realest yugioh experience
LOL Yeah, it’s just the circle of (Yugioh) life
I know it probably would not have made a difference but in the hand that you bricked hard 8:16 if you had set favorite contact with thrust you could have made DPE on the next turn with Neos and Malicious, it can really catch your opponent by surprise
Also I think you could not have activated Fusion destiny because thrust doesnt let you activate the card you set that turn
That was such a great video !
Appreciate you checking it out, glad you liked it! 😊
let's go another video, nice content as always.
Can you make a series where you try decks your comments suggest and give your honest opinion since I would like to hear your thoughts on some of my favorite decks
Tis the season of giving so it always feels amazing to give to just, genuinely nice people. it was a great duel and i'm glad the exodia made you guys happy. Hope you guys obliterate with it.
Awh, Alex, I’m so glad we got paired up. I feel like this is going to become one of those long term friendships and I really appreciate you being the person that you are. Wishing you the best holidays and I look forward to our next locals together. Athena also wants to add that you’re the absolute sweetest! 😊💛
Ruggles, you can use foolish burial goods to send the trap you sent with beatrice, not as good but still sends the trap. You could also run other targets such as black goat laughs to make it good going second
Love the idea of playing other targets, just so it’s a little more versatile if I just already open DForce. Good thoughts!
Might actually start attending yugioh locals because I currently only play with my friends who play branded, speedroid, and mimmighoul. I spent 190 on tearsworn Horus 60 pile so I definitely need to diversify my matchups and a get a bunch of banish hate.
Goat energy as always.
All bros videos are so wholesome
😊
Break the Destiny is a underrated card for sure. Tried it before at 3x with Destiny HERO - Dominance kinda funny if you can pull it off. Skip Turn Hero is funny but it feels very D-Hero heavy and needs the graveyard.
tbh maliss is probably the most popular deck this format because the combos are fun, interesting, and it's the second best deck
Yeah, the more I think about it the more fun it feels. Might just be the new deck for episode 4 😄
Our Living Pegasus!
8:35 in case we just activated that fusion destiny wet set of thrust… Were not allowed to do so the same turn.
Also dope that you are playing heroes
is it because GX is your favorite, hence the cydra deck from back then and Heroes now? i'm looking forward to the next time you return already with what else you gonna play 😂😂. well anytime i watch your vid it's a good time, cheers
The hero is back again
Couldnt you theoredically use Foolish Burial Gpods to send the trap and add D-Force? Just a thought
D-Force is low key pretty good right now!
I think the best strategy with D Force is doing your combos and deck thinning then hope you draw it with Liquid effect or Talents
That is such an anime moment approach, I love it!
Foolish Burial Goods can send a Spell or Trap card from deck to graveyard if you're looking to send Break of Destiny!! (:
Your production is amazing
Thanks for the love! Athena filming the locals b-roll has definitely had a really positive impact on the series 😊
@Ruggles117 been a fan since your first episode. Such a wonderful and creative idea. The community loves you
Thrust is more a board breaker than an extender, you cannot activate the card set from it that turn.
imperm on sequence against fiendsmith kash and ash requiem or tract if they start tract, but don't ash engraver. if you open multiple hand traps you can veiler the unicorn too
Love the layered response! I’ll work on that for the next video!
Foolish burial goods is a good tech to try out
get with mbt he’s VERY familiar with d force in hero decks
I also have the Hero deck, a fan favorite for sure and fun to play, the new Evil Hero support is helpful but still wont solve main problems the deck faces against more meta decks, at least know we have some negation, yes you heard right, Heros can dodge Raigeki now.. XD
Yeah, the new support doesnt really feel like it fully addresses some major weakness’s but hey, it’s additional consistency and some fun new tricks 😅
The king of B rolls and art is back
Happy to be so! Thanks for coming back with me :)
Best yugi tuber
Best community ☺️
I know you’re happy that Cross Crusader is getting a QCR upgrade.
It’s actually the dream 🥲
The way i got to d force was just hard drawing it. I played it to answer Droll
Illegal activation you can’t activate the card of thrust if it’s set this turn.
I think I'm just a little rusty 😄 Learning as we go!
This makes me want to get back into yugioh but I just cant get over win turn 1 or lose.
While it sometimes does turn into two turn games there is still a lot of back and forth interaction. In a weird way, you may actually get to make just as many responses/actions as you would in old Yugioh 😊
Man I love ur vids
Thank you 😄 Currently working on the third and wishing you happy holidays!
10:12 dump break the destiny with foolish burial goods. But i dont know if its worth it since D-force is a win more card
@Ruggles 10:08 try Foolish Burial Goods in place of Beatrice.
Not a bad idea!
Man I wish I could have friends to play yugioh with but there is no locals in Fresno
