Thanks so much for watching, everyone! I appreciate your likes, shares, and comments! Let's shoot for 500! What other powerful cards from past formats just died off? Which of them would you like to see make a comeback?
Team APS Hey dude. Im new to playing Yu Gi Oh. I bought myself the Kaiba Reloaded deck. Is it a good choice? It has a few good Trap and Magic cards like Mirror Force, Typhoon, Dark Hole and Dark Bribe. It also has Blue Eyes. Just wanted your opinion on it?
Kruhms Lel If you're new, starter decks and structure decks are a good place to start because they have decent generic spells / traps you can use to round out any potential deck. And they let you get used to playing with a pre-built deck. I'd actually recommend grabbing a mega tin or two if you can afford it. They contain reprints of a lot of the cards released that year so you can get good staple cards everyone uses as well as start building a deck that is decent / relevant in the current meta.
Don't try to start playing meta decks. Play rogue-tier stuff, like Lunalights. Rogue-tier decks are more fun and won't wreck your wallet, and they really help your play-skill because you actually have to find outs instead of just sitting there with a deck that runs on autopilot. And everything Crimson Overlord said, too.
For those who don't know, there was an otk with Makyura, Call of the Haunted and Chick: Makyura allows CotH to be activated from hand, CotH for Chick, it inflicts damage, Chick bounces CotH and you could repeat the process infinite number of times.
Figured I'd post this here since a lot of people seem to be confused and alienated by the sentiments and tone in this video. Trust me when I say that we are well aware of what we say and how we act in everything we record. We usually use jokes and sarcasm as a tool to make controversial topics more entertaining, and we play devil's advocate to encourage more open-minded thinking. Don't take our humor or approach too seriously. These are just videos, not hate speech. Keep that in mind and just enjoy the video!
Jinzo.... I spent $50 on Jinzo when he first came out, this card struck fear in the hearts of kids. During its time when it was 1 per deck it was one of the most devastating cards in the game.
Can you guys update me, please? I'm trying so hard to understand what Yu-Gi-Oh has become. You really don't need more than 5 traps in the deck? I'm stuck to the pre-5DS era, which means I don't know nothing about Synchro and what came after. Is really that different?
Some decks do still fear the original Mirror Force, such as Cyber Dragons (if they don't make Infinity, draw Twin Twisters, or destroy it with Chimeratech Rampage Dragon), Zoodiacs, Hieratics, and other "kill you turn one or lose" decks. Even if Chimeratech Rampage Dragon is MST on legs, he can't hit every back row unless you use 5 Fusion Materials. Opening with Hieratic Dragon of Tefnuit + A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon, however...that's game over for the opponent.
... It's still fear worthy though, unless you Stardust Dragon, Void Ogre Dragon or use any destruction proteted shenainigans there's still the dissapointmen of not getting throught your meta'ish OTK because of that card, and before you bring me - but we have Royal Decree - then take in mind this would be a topic even for back in the day then and not now lol
Just play legacy formats like goat, perfect circle or even synchro format. And don't only play mirrors, you will discover there are so many fun in rediscovering old cards/combos
I like archetype decks but not these overpowered ones I like elemental heros gogogos dododos gagagas etc but not these crazy masked heros and other stuff I feel like lot of people are only playing these rely powerful card because they fel like need to to keep up
not really, everything that is old and powerful just got banned. So yea, the legal cards are not viable, but the bannd ones show how strong the old days were.
in case you dont want to see the whole video: #10 Breaker the magical warrior #9 Injection Fairy lily #8 Exiled Force #7 Magician of Faith #6 Spirit Reaper (i still use this card) #5 Tsukuyomi #4 Reflect Bounder #3 Cyber Dragon #2 Dark Scorpion - Chick the Yellow #1 Caius the shadow monarch
Actually the main combo with Injection Fairy Lily was using Exiled Force and Last Will to summon it straight from the deck after a free pop. Also Cyber Dragon's main gimmick besides being powerful was that it could be tributed off for the then popular monarchs and this was also when Chaos was a think so light monster = win.
***** No worries dude :) Another awesome video by the way. It takes me back to the days Yu-Gi-Oh! wasn't so much about archetypes but just must have staples all thrown into one deck. Love your channel man.
Cyber Dragon is also a Machine, so combining it with Limiter Removal and nailing someone for 4200 and then tributing it off for something was also fun.
***** Chimeratech OTK for the win. Use Future Fusion to dump 20 odd machines to the grave then one shot with overload fusion. I don't think I recall a single monarch in the same that wasn't used at one point Zaborg was the first, thestalos, mobius even granmarg in certain sides.
Would it be as useful by then thou 5 years from now we might get some crazy win just by doing nothing (jokes aside yugioh needs to slow down a little chaining too many archetype effects and hard to counter is really really hard to deal with ) the new meta kinda went from 10-1000 like crazy that even synchros seems slower than link summon or exceeds are slower than link)
watching this video is breaking my heart, not for nostalgia reasons, but because i stopped playing around 2007-2008 and recently picked it up again with friends who have also picked it up again and we use these kinds of cards in 2016 and to hear them mocking them like they're worthless sucks. I know they're living in a different world but man is that world even fun anymore?
Don't let these punk ass niggas get you down, homie. I'm the same way--but you should know that with Link summoning nerfing Pendulums and Xyz/Synchros, it's going to get a lot better for us. I play Dinosaurs, and I'm loving some of the support that's getting released. I can't wait until the new Dino structure deck comes out in a month or so!
@@scythermantis And now link summoning have made the game even more broken and cancerous. Konami will never fix YGO. Our only option is playing GOAT format
You guys are sad human beings if you really took personal offense to people talking about old cards that aren’t good anymore ands it’s advised that you separate yourself from the game for a bit. This is how most people would react in this conversation for obvious reasons, we aren’t in the past anymore, we don’t think about cards from the passed without applying them to the present in some way or form. It’s so hard to watch you guys fuckin shit your pants over the fact that someone said something about a fuckin card
Pretty close to how I feel, my brother, cousin, wife; and a few friends and I still play but we all play traditional format, pretty much up to links and then links have literally ruined the game. If you have to change the field and rules for one new addition, don’t freaking bother. Also, I’ve never played competitive/meta but best I can tell people just spend half an hour making their plays with 57 special summons in their first turn and if you don’t go first you’ve lost. I like traditional format because there’s actually a back and forth between players. New Yugioh just isn’t Yugioh at all and it’s not even fun.
Rinings oh, thanks! That was a dumb question from me lol. The answer is in the name. I'm new to the scene though, thanks for the help! Is a Kaiba Reloaded deck good?
Kruhms Lel Kaiba Reloaded is a Starter Deck. Its two major good points for Deckbuilding are that it has two Blue-Eyes White Dragons instead of the usual one, and it has an Alexandrite Dragon. Are you actually thinking of the Kaiba *Structure* Deck with the ABC Buster Dragon cards?
Injection Fairy Lily is still broken in very obscure situations. Yo I remember when flip-flop control was a deck. I also remember when Cyber Dragon came out it was considered broken because the two highest ATK monsters at the time were Vampire Lord and Sacred Phoenix of the Nephtys and they both required tributes whereas cyber dragon was free. Yes I'm old. Cyber Dragon literally changed the game.
@@LiberatorGalore goblin attack was only played in skill drain beatdown which wasn't being played the time because Phoenix and Vampire Lord activated in the graveyard thus making skill drain not matter. If it was up you just crashed pyramid turtle into something bigger and summon Ryu-Kokki and it didnt matter anymore since you had the biggest thing on the field at 2400. The same attack as phoenix. Also remember cyber dragon zero downside. If you go first and open cyber dragon just pass and your hand is live. So yes Cyber Dragon changed the game.
@@thefrogger6507 don't forget playing 2 of that warrior that said only he could be attacked, locking your opponent out of attacks until he found removal!
What I do think is interesting though, is that there were some *legitimately* broken cards that _cannot_ come back, which proves that not all broken cards are newer.
I quit playing Yugioh when Synchro monsters came out. The last pack I remember buying was a Six Samurai pack. All of the cards you guys mentioned were true nightmares back then. Hearing you guys talk so casually about them is like a knife in the heart. It makes me wonder how crazy the game has become. I just wanted to add Chaos Emperor Dragon and Black Luster Solider were also terrorizing the game back then. Dam now I feel old.
These were the good ol' days. Honestly, they were. No themed or archetype decks, and games were actually decided mostly by skill. The game was less based on luck-sacking and field spamming. I miss those times.
I´m now returning to the card game after 12 years missing it. Back then I already played at tournaments and there it was never about skill. It was about how much money you could spend to get the new broken cards and if you are lucky enough to draw them. At least in the competitive games. Even back then when we played with friends, we limited our decks by not running all the staples and dedicating them to themes. Because that made more fun than playing against similiar decks everytime. What I see today are many themed decks with various techniques to play and using them will be fun. Also the new Link stuff looks good. But playing the meta will be as pleasant as back in the day.
well, the most strategy is in the deck building now, but things like luck etc were a point in everytime... and you have many various archetypes you could use, some better than others but if you step outside the, atm, one dimensional meta, the rogue decks are mostly on a equal level.
I remember when Injection Fairy Lily first came out, it changed the tournament scene in my area because it was easy to get out, high potential power and damage output. it was often combined with either mage power or united we stand for survivability and to spare lp. Not only that , it was also the start of the decline of using tributed monsters in tournaments because they became obsolete.
I remember back in the day, all these cards were considered power plays. Breaker was a staple, Injection Fairy Lily was a viable beatsticks with decks revolving around her, and we all feared the devastating Jowgun-Final Turn combo.
To answer what I would like to see come back: I just want to see Dark Magician of Chaos' errata overturned, and to have him return to his original power. I don't care if he has to be put back on the banned or limited list to make it happen, but they massacred my poor boi :(
Would you consider doing videos on how a deck operates? I am getting back into YGO by watching a lot of your guys' content, but I feel like I am not learning a whole lot due to not knowing the decks I am facing. What I mean is like if someone is running Fluffals, what does that mean? What should I expect? What are the big threats? What should I save removals and what not for? Just kind of a general rundown on the mechanics of the deck and some helpful tips for facing it. Thanks for all the fantastic content. You got me back in it, last time I played was when Red Eyes Darkness Dragon structure deck first came out.
I really think it would be fantastic, as most of the time when i am playing i feel like "welp he is gonna do his 1,000,000 things, now I cant use my counter for some reason, and also all my stuff is gone". With all the cards having so much text, it is hard to learn the deck while facing it. And their are sooo many different decks, which is great for a card game, but bad for a beginner XD
Same that would be cool, I'm new but the five videos I've watched I just get an elitist vibe from them. Though I feel like it's some sort of running gag kinda like how SimplyUnlucky always asks what Pot of Greed does
Aaron Kuhns oh my god, I know what you mean. One of my friends have been retraining me to be able to play modern decks. I'm a classic player you see, so the first time we sat down to duel, he pulled out Shaddolls, and I had a Spellcaster/Fiend deck. He did about 8.9 trillion things on his first turn, and I summoned Feral Imp 😄
i remember quite a few of these cards from back in 2008 when i played Perfect Circle online on WC2008 for DS. People splashing Cyberdragon Spiritreaper and Marshmallon in literaly every deck. I really miss the WC game series... Also im kinda missing Gorz on this list.
If I remember rightly, with Tsukuyoi you would use Restrict's effect on a monster, then flip it face-down, effectively destroying their monster and letting you attack. Or, you can re flip Restrict back up and take a second monster, which was ridiculously good in Goat Format, especially when you could just go Scapegoat > Avoid Damage > Metamorphosis > Restrict.
Breaker was amazing in Goat format because you could destroy the monster that was equipped to Thousand-Eyes Restrict and then use TER's effect again to take control of a new monster. I love goat format.
Jinzo because of his effect & DD warrior lady because it can remove any monster.Also Marshmellon because if you attack it that's 1000 damage to your opponent it's so many cards that are broken.
***** Ya I didn't start playing competitively till 2010, but I have seen these cards before, but when I saw them I was like in the 7th grade and didn't really have a good grasp on the game. I just remember these cards for being busted, I mean Breaker was worth like $50, Don Zaloog was like $30, Injection Fairy Lily was like $60 I still have an old Yugioh Magazine from 2005 that shows these busted ass cards and their prices.
I just remembered one day, back in the school. I was watching two friends playing and it was a pretty tight game when eventually one of them got beat to like 600 left and just had one battle fader in hand on the next turn. He passes and his oponent just summoned caius and used caius to banish itself and finish the game, for me, at the time, that was the most insanely sacky play ever
Going even further back, I remember three cards that were not only broken but also easy to get: *Fissure* - Doesn't target. Attack the weak, then fissure the strong *Man-Eater Bug* - Monster removal (can kill even Blue-Eyes White Dragon!) *Waboku* - Can be activated at any time
Brain control is unlimited now. However, it got a little nerfed. No, very nerfed. You can't target cards that cannot be normal summoned or set, such as Blue Eyes Alt Dragon. -iconic example I know-
what would happen to the current set of players in yugioh if Konami did slow down the game so that going plus 30 off a single getting destroyed by baiting were banned and limited in then game?
Well, if you're truly willing to spend more money on Konami, they will do anything for you as long as the money flows in. Or you can always just play older formats. (Hurray for Goat!)
This video really shows how poor Konami has handled the power creep in their game. They've pretty much removed multiple aspects of the game that really made it what it was. Every deck these days accomplishes the exact same goal: spam the board full of monsters in one turn and win. The game used to be good but is now full of bullshit spam mechanics and a player base so horrible that most shops actually have stopped running tournaments or even carrying product. The players never buy anything from the store aside from tourney entry and snacks, they steal/sell cards in the store to other players, they're loud, obnoxious and typically are quite unhygienic.
I know about all of those cards, didn't know that some of them used to be considered broken. I still use Breaker because I still think his effect is good (specifically, I use him as a spell counter holder for my strategies that involve spell counters, and if I don't have strategies for that then I might just use him to remove some S/Ts that I'm worried about, but that's basically his second function now. With the right cards out, though, I can use him to remove lots of S/Ts from the field in one turn, so he's still pretty good if you ask me. Of course, I also don't play competitively, so for all I know that might be inefficient as hell.
Honestly, the meta some of these cards were originally from was my favorite. Simpler times, almost like the Pokémon TCG, plus all the nostalgic monsters.
this is basically goat format stuff haha. there are sooo many cards that are terrible now that ran every single tournament in their heyday. very few cards have ever survived the power creep becasue of how good they are such as DAD and bls. while others such as raiza or even stardust dragon and goyo simply died almost immediately.
also one thing I'd like to mention that wasn't covered in this video with Tsukuyomi is that back then, you would summon restrict, equip an opposing monster, pass, and then use Tsukuyomi to flip restrict down so u can flip it back up and take another monster.
Honestly Jinzo was an interesting case though it was the bane of most decks because it was an easy out for cylinder mirror force Judgement and many other traps when they were more prominent, now a days even with a whole Jinzo Architype it's barely even considered a threat.
lave 87 Well its still here...just get the cards...make old decks...and better them with the new cards from right now of the old days... Duel Monsters has gotten some repronts and new cards...but its still missing some other rarities...next we need GX era to get re printed with new cards too or cards from the anime
I just found your channel and loving your videos. I own so many yugioh cards roughly 8,000 I’ve been playing for years stopped a couple years ago and started back up. I miss playing the old ways instead of people 1 or 2 turning me with 30 minute combos when they could just tell me I’d loose
Everything in yugioh now is broken. When I got back into it I had to borrow my cousins karakuri deck cause my old cards weren't considered "good" anymore. I didn't really enjoy synchros but I thought it could get me by all the xyz and circus pen card bs. (I literally didn't know pendulums were apart of yugioh when I first saw it) I had some of the best cards back in the day but I knew they weren't gonna work anymore. I decided to go to a small tournament at a card shop after a few weeks of messing around with friends and figuring out strategies for my deck and my opponent on my "FIRST" duel on his "FIRST TURN" summoned a xyz monster who 1. Couldn't be destroyed by battle and card effects. And literally several other effects that made it invincible (I forgot the name). My second opponents strategy was almost exactly the same as well. I never went back cause literally everyone ran the same otk type of deck. Me and my friends only play the old school yugioh in school and I like it more that way. I can tolerate synchros but the game died after that in my opinion.
What XYZ monster that can't be destroyed by card effects and battle?I don't know any of those without restrictions.And are talking about Raidraptor Ultimate Falcon or Great Magnus?
Giant Rat was the best of these searcher back then especially with 1 random Des Laccoda, but only a few people used it, because they wanted to play light and dark to be able to play Chaos Sorcerer, but it was still possible to play Chaos Sorcerer with earth monsters, but these decks were hard to build.
It's crazy how accurate this video is. I pulled out my old goat control deck from 2007 with my UDE id card. Every single card in this video was in my deck or side deck. I hope that we see scapegoat teched into new decks because of links utilizing them. So many memories, thanks for the video.
Some of those cards got hit because they were part of combos. Tsukuyomi was a main component of the Thousand-Eyes Restrict combo that for a time completely turned the game into a giant stall battle. That combo put Tsukuyomi, Metamorphosis, and Thousand-Eyes Restrict on the banned list. Dark Scorpion - Chick the Yellow was also part of an OTK combo with Call of the Haunted and Makyura the Destructor. Makyura goes the graveyard, use Call from your hand to bring back a Chick, Chick hits for 1000 and uses it's effect to bounce Call back to your hand, Chick goes back to the Graveyard, still in your battle phase you play Call again to bring back a Chick, Chick hits for 1000, bounces Call, etc. etc. until your opponent is dead.
Me and my friends still play with the cards before syncro cards was released. We find the games more fun and long lasting. And we think it takes more strategy, Instead of winning from a few turns from summoning like 8 monsters in one turn
I hate almost any video with the twins, especially when talking about cards from before they got into the game. They just mock the cards, at least Trell would respect the cards from the past. These guys come off as obnoxious.
Thank god someone else noticed it. I thought it was just me. The only insult they have is sarcasm. It’s the same “joke” over and over again. I’m not some salty nostalgia fan. I’d actually enjoy this video more if they would actually insult in any other way them sarcasm. If I have to here,”woahhhhhh so broken” one more time I swear.
Dark Magician of Chaos. Recycle a spell and banish whatever he defeats by battle. That second effect would be somewhat useful today since a lot of cards have effects dealing with cards in the graveyard.
Lol, best initial draw was a huge part of the game back then, these days the game is more consistent because its less about the "best" draw and just about "a decent draw", even today, bricking on your mid-combo spells in first draw is hell, but far more cards in your deck will let you build a gameplan, rather then just praying your next draw is somehow enough to give you advantage while they destroy some random monster you wanted later, not now
Coming from when the majority of the cards were still played, the game has changed so much. I quit around when IOC was out, and coming back today is just an eye opener.
I hate how all of them come off as obnoxious and better then you. Old Yugioh was a completely different game then it is today. I'm not a fan of how they mock the older generation's. Those older cards were the basis of what the game is today. Instead of mocking all those oldies, they need to respect them. They game is completely different now, but nonetheless both games were fun in their own rights.
Tsuku and MoF combo was my absolute favourite, my first decent deck was the first spellcaster structure deck if you couldn't tell. I loved both of these cars (and Breaker) and hated it when they were gone. And now they are kinda bad... I'm sad. Also I think Don Zaloog would have been the better example than Chick, he was more popular, from what I can remember at least.
Special Summon up to 5 monsters from your hand, deck, graveyard, banish zone, or extra deck onto the field, ignoring their summoning conditions. Also you draw 5 cards. The card's activation cannot be negated and the opponent cannot activate anything in response. Also, the monsters summoned by this effect are unaffected by card effects and cannot be tributed.
Solar Flare Dragon. The meta is such that burn decks don't really work, but I remember back in the day I beat everyone with my Solar Flare Dragons! 1000 unblockable damage every turn from effect monsters that could not be destroyed by battle damage, so in defense mode they made you invincible. Combo that with spells and traps that prevented high damage monsters from attacking or destroyed enemy attacking monsters, and you had a deck that would lock down almost any other deck!
Cyber Dragon was the go-to when Synchros were a thing. Special summon Cyber Dragon, normal summon your free tuner, beastly synchro summon in 1 turn. Those were the days.
Seriously half of this video is the three of them sarcastically criticizing these cards. it's not interesting, I can't take your opinion seriously when you don't talk seriously. You want to talk about the old cards weaknesses, by all means. but be serious
Chick the Yellow was actually a part of an OTK with Makyura the Destructor and Call of the Haunted. You'd bounce Call with Chick's effect, he'd go to the grave, then thanks to Makyura's effect, you could keep playing Call from your hand to revive Chick, Attack again, and so forth
+Micaiah the Otaku Gamer [HybridAngelZero] Thanks for clarifying! I'd chosen it to include in this list because I wanted to just pick something that wasn't Don Zaloog. I'll heart this comment so others see.
I think part of the problem was that these cards had limited spell cards printed on a body. This was also back when yugioh games lasted past turn 3. Mst on a 1600 body was really good when mst was already at 1. A slightly worse magic cylinder is really good when cylinder was at 1 and it was guaranteed to hit for at least 1700. Smashing ground was limited to 1 and exiled force was a strictly better smashing ground. As a magic player as well, ETB effects are always really good when they print other cards on a body.
The most satisfying duel I ever had (with my Gadget Deck) against a typical guy who always needed to state an excuse every time he lost: Second turn, Heavy Storm, Future Fusion, Overload Fusion, Win.
Yeah:1. Magic Cylinder2. Don Zaloog3. Dark Magician of Chaos4. Mirror ForceThose cards were awesome back in the day, I'd love to see them come back to being relevant.
It's crazy for me to watch these videos. I started playing with my friend when LOB came out, then MRD, then MRL, and after looking through my collection I have a few RDS cards but never made it to FET. I hear you guys talking and I don't even understand the game at all, or why it would even be fun to play when people are winning in the first few turns, or when the cards are so powerful. The thing that always excited me about this game was going with my buddy on payday and buying a box of 50 boosters and opening them in his basement, mulling over our treasure, making trades, coming up with new deck ideas, and then playing all night long and all the next day. Winning or losing didn't really matter as much as being creative and having fun with the cards. We did look up the rules clarifications and followed the ban list most of the time (unless we didn't feel like it). The only house rule we developed was no starter deck cards, so if you wanted to play a Blue Eyes or a Dark Magician you had to open that fucker, and no buying singles either. You get what you get. That made the meta part of the game as much fun as playing it. The idea that battle phases and flip effects are irrelevant just blows my mind. I mean it sounds like it's not even the same game anymore.
Thanks so much for watching, everyone! I appreciate your likes, shares, and comments! Let's shoot for 500!
What other powerful cards from past formats just died off? Which of them would you like to see make a comeback?
Team APS Hey dude. Im new to playing Yu Gi Oh. I bought myself the Kaiba Reloaded deck. Is it a good choice? It has a few good Trap and Magic cards like Mirror Force, Typhoon, Dark Hole and Dark Bribe. It also has Blue Eyes. Just wanted your opinion on it?
Team APS me again lol. I don't play competitive but I would like to still be good it just feels as if I have so much to learn. Where do I begin?
Kruhms Lel If you're new, starter decks and structure decks are a good place to start because they have decent generic spells / traps you can use to round out any potential deck. And they let you get used to playing with a pre-built deck. I'd actually recommend grabbing a mega tin or two if you can afford it. They contain reprints of a lot of the cards released that year so you can get good staple cards everyone uses as well as start building a deck that is decent / relevant in the current meta.
Don't try to start playing meta decks. Play rogue-tier stuff, like Lunalights. Rogue-tier decks are more fun and won't wreck your wallet, and they really help your play-skill because you actually have to find outs instead of just sitting there with a deck that runs on autopilot. And everything Crimson Overlord said, too.
using cyber dragon and caius back in the day used to be fucking lit
Wheres My penguin soldier At?
OMG MEGAUMI I'M SPADE54321 ON ROBLOX BEEN A LONG TIME
Darn! I completely forgot about that one. Shame because it's actually one of my favorites... That "loop" back in the day was crazy!
Ask Nobleman of Crossout
LMFAO !
When Penguin soldier gets flipped....all you hear is Oras
These cards will be broken again... in Duel Links.
StuckInMeta and the clock is turned back
StuckInMeta exept for lily, only 1 use generally xD
Yep, currently mirror wall is the best trap in the game. That tells a lot.
Alex Daniell now it’s treacherous trap hole and drowning mirror force
U god damn right
For those who don't know, there was an otk with Makyura, Call of the Haunted and Chick: Makyura allows CotH to be activated from hand, CotH for Chick, it inflicts damage, Chick bounces CotH and you could repeat the process infinite number of times.
wow iam a old player, used to play in these days but i never knew that, and then Konami made Brionac and repeated the same mistake
Figured I'd post this here since a lot of people seem to be confused and alienated by the sentiments and tone in this video. Trust me when I say that we are well aware of what we say and how we act in everything we record. We usually use jokes and sarcasm as a tool to make controversial topics more entertaining, and we play devil's advocate to encourage more open-minded thinking. Don't take our humor or approach too seriously. These are just videos, not hate speech. Keep that in mind and just enjoy the video!
Jinzo.... I spent $50 on Jinzo when he first came out, this card struck fear in the hearts of kids. During its time when it was 1 per deck it was one of the most devastating cards in the game.
Invasion of Chaos is what killed the game. LOB-DCR. Is the best format.
Hype177487
oh yeah. hated that card. especially because the game was so backrow heavy. Then synchros came and nobody cared anymore
and now no one uses more than 5 traps in their deck !
Can you guys update me, please? I'm trying so hard to understand what Yu-Gi-Oh has become. You really don't need more than 5 traps in the deck? I'm stuck to the pre-5DS era, which means I don't know nothing about Synchro and what came after. Is really that different?
Diego Rossetto hahahaha I don't even know why it's still called yugioh
I miss the days when Mirror Force was feared...Good times. The field was 2x7 and the only Xyz was a Fusion...
TheFrogger
I miss classic plays too. I played up until mid 2008. then trying to get back to it nowadays. not much into xyz or tuners.
Tuners were fine, I wasn't happy about XYZ, but it's Pendulums that really murdered the game for me. And now we've got _another one_ coming up. Great.
Some decks do still fear the original Mirror Force, such as Cyber Dragons (if they don't make Infinity, draw Twin Twisters, or destroy it with Chimeratech Rampage Dragon), Zoodiacs, Hieratics, and other "kill you turn one or lose" decks. Even if Chimeratech Rampage Dragon is MST on legs, he can't hit every back row unless you use 5 Fusion Materials.
Opening with Hieratic Dragon of Tefnuit + A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon, however...that's game over for the opponent.
... It's still fear worthy though, unless you Stardust Dragon, Void Ogre Dragon or use any destruction proteted shenainigans there's still the dissapointmen of not getting throught your meta'ish OTK because of that card, and before you bring me - but we have Royal Decree - then take in mind this would be a topic even for back in the day then and not now lol
TheFrogger i liked both synchro and xyz
Pendulums tho... they ruined everything
My impression is that the oldest one might be Man-Eater Bug.
I visited it in the senior center a while ago.
U guys mock it but we all know we'd rather have tht era of yugiold back
Just play legacy formats like goat, perfect circle or even synchro format. And don't only play mirrors, you will discover there are so many fun in rediscovering old cards/combos
Speek Englesh Looser
I like archetype decks but not these overpowered ones I like elemental heros gogogos dododos gagagas etc but not these crazy masked heros and other stuff I feel like lot of people are only playing these rely powerful card because they fel like need to to keep up
This video could be called how crazy dumb and broken yugioh is currently. Now old stuff isn't even viable
Super Fan Sean Injection Fairy Lily is still good tech against boss Monsters that are unkillable by the cards that everyone currently plays.
it was replaced by utopia the lightning, but for a long time it was a pretty good out
not really, everything that is old and powerful just got banned. So yea, the legal cards are not viable, but the bannd ones show how strong the old days were.
yeah, because DAD, monster reborn, pot of greed, snatch steal, BLS and tons of others are totally not viable today.
Most of the old cards, including the ones that currently aren't banned are still better than most of the new ones. lol
in case you dont want to see the whole video:
#10 Breaker the magical warrior
#9 Injection Fairy lily
#8 Exiled Force
#7 Magician of Faith
#6 Spirit Reaper (i still use this card)
#5 Tsukuyomi
#4 Reflect Bounder
#3 Cyber Dragon
#2 Dark Scorpion - Chick the Yellow
#1 Caius the shadow monarch
Actually the main combo with Injection Fairy Lily was using Exiled Force and Last Will to summon it straight from the deck after a free pop. Also Cyber Dragon's main gimmick besides being powerful was that it could be tributed off for the then popular monarchs and this was also when Chaos was a think so light monster = win.
Thanks for the heads up! I should have mentioned that in the video.
***** No worries dude :) Another awesome video by the way. It takes me back to the days Yu-Gi-Oh! wasn't so much about archetypes but just must have staples all thrown into one deck. Love your channel man.
Cyber Dragon is also a Machine, so combining it with Limiter Removal and nailing someone for 4200 and then tributing it off for something was also fun.
***** Chimeratech OTK for the win. Use Future Fusion to dump 20 odd machines to the grave then one shot with overload fusion. I don't think I recall a single monarch in the same that wasn't used at one point Zaborg was the first, thestalos, mobius even granmarg in certain sides.
Adam The Gamer I activate Magic Cylinder 😏
Imagine 5 years later we see Firewall Dragon getting unbanned.
Finally. Fucking good looking card
Would it be as useful by then thou 5 years from now we might get some crazy win just by doing nothing (jokes aside yugioh needs to slow down a little chaining too many archetype effects and hard to counter is really really hard to deal with ) the new meta kinda went from 10-1000 like crazy that even synchros seems slower than link summon or exceeds are slower than link)
What's firewall dragon
Intenselly LIt a card that is really overpowered
@@intensellylit4100 It's neither a dragon nor a firewall.
watching this video is breaking my heart, not for nostalgia reasons, but because i stopped playing around 2007-2008 and recently picked it up again with friends who have also picked it up again and we use these kinds of cards in 2016 and to hear them mocking them like they're worthless sucks. I know they're living in a different world but man is that world even fun anymore?
Don't let these punk ass niggas get you down, homie.
I'm the same way--but you should know that with Link summoning nerfing Pendulums and Xyz/Synchros, it's going to get a lot better for us.
I play Dinosaurs, and I'm loving some of the support that's getting released.
I can't wait until the new Dino structure deck comes out in a month or so!
scythermantis They are actually nerfing xyz and pendelum?!?! YESSS
@@scythermantis And now link summoning have made the game even more broken and cancerous. Konami will never fix YGO. Our only option is playing GOAT format
You guys are sad human beings if you really took personal offense to people talking about old cards that aren’t good anymore ands it’s advised that you separate yourself from the game for a bit. This is how most people would react in this conversation for obvious reasons, we aren’t in the past anymore, we don’t think about cards from the passed without applying them to the present in some way or form. It’s so hard to watch you guys fuckin shit your pants over the fact that someone said something about a fuckin card
Pretty close to how I feel, my brother, cousin, wife; and a few friends and I still play but we all play traditional format, pretty much up to links and then links have literally ruined the game. If you have to change the field and rules for one new addition, don’t freaking bother.
Also, I’ve never played competitive/meta but best I can tell people just spend half an hour making their plays with 57 special summons in their first turn and if you don’t go first you’ve lost.
I like traditional format because there’s actually a back and forth between players.
New Yugioh just isn’t Yugioh at all and it’s not even fun.
Power creep it's as simple as that
Divine_Wrath what does power creep do?
Kruhms Lel power creep means that the cards of today have progressed to a level where these cards are pretty much useless
Rinings oh, thanks! That was a dumb question from me lol. The answer is in the name. I'm new to the scene though, thanks for the help! Is a Kaiba Reloaded deck good?
Kruhms Lel Kaiba Reloaded is a Starter Deck.
Its two major good points for Deckbuilding are that it has two Blue-Eyes White Dragons instead of the usual one, and it has an Alexandrite Dragon.
Are you actually thinking of the Kaiba *Structure* Deck with the ABC Buster Dragon cards?
Yup... Makes me feel so old...
Injection Fairy Lily is still broken in very obscure situations. Yo I remember when flip-flop control was a deck. I also remember when Cyber Dragon came out it was considered broken because the two highest ATK monsters at the time were Vampire Lord and Sacred Phoenix of the Nephtys and they both required tributes whereas cyber dragon was free. Yes I'm old. Cyber Dragon literally changed the game.
2017 and I still run an updated Cyber Dragon deck. Works if you have the right counters like Twin Twister and Royal Decree.
I was in middle school when cyber dragon dropped. My step dad had one and i would always sneak to touch it. They were like $40 each.
Goblin attack force?? Lol
@@LiberatorGalore goblin attack was only played in skill drain beatdown which wasn't being played the time because Phoenix and Vampire Lord activated in the graveyard thus making skill drain not matter. If it was up you just crashed pyramid turtle into something bigger and summon Ryu-Kokki and it didnt matter anymore since you had the biggest thing on the field at 2400. The same attack as phoenix. Also remember cyber dragon zero downside. If you go first and open cyber dragon just pass and your hand is live. So yes Cyber Dragon changed the game.
You took me back to the days of playing warrior tool box with those giant rat combos lol.
I used to play a warrior toolbox deck in early 5D's...
The amount of fun with A Forces, Rats, Freeds and the countless equips... Good times.
We aim to please! I still miss those days soooo much...
Seto Kaiba I like your deck profiles
Used to run rat box Zombies.
@@thefrogger6507 don't forget playing 2 of that warrior that said only he could be attacked, locking your opponent out of attacks until he found removal!
What I do think is interesting though, is that there were some *legitimately* broken cards that _cannot_ come back, which proves that not all broken cards are newer.
+DynamoDuskull This is admittedly a good point. Card design from those days seemed so much more polarizing.
Do you mean like pot of greed?
Yata-Garasu says hi
A couple cards that were broken when I was younger: Morphing Jar 1 and 2 , Dice Jar, Neo Spacian Grand Mole and Giant germ.
Enigma Zero yep, also cyber jar. That thing was so evil back when putting out big boards was a lot harder to do.
cyber jar and morphing jar are still degenerate asses.
I dont get why they keep Revival Jam behind bars like how will he be a threat to the meta now?~
change of heart and cyber stein
I am from the future and Morphing Jar #1 is still played from time time in empty jars troll decks to this day haha.
Goat format ended brah that's what happened XD
+YugiNoNo This guy gets it! I actually pulled many of these cards straight from that format.
YugiNoNo #yugijesus
goat? i still use scape goats
YugiNoNo what is goat format? Is that just playing original format with old school/banned cards? I really want to know
Yeah, old school with the old school ban lists. I only play them since returning to Yu-Gi-Oh. Pendulum and Link do look cool but Olden is Golden.
I remember back when Shrink was a terrifying card. A card that targeted and was a hard minus one was a staple at one point.
Technically Shrink was a 1 for 1, since if activated in the battle phase it caused your monster to beat over their monster.
Protocurity late response, but technically it isn't, since you also deal battle damage.
Old Yu-Gi-Oh >>>>>> New Yu-Gi-Oh
driftracerr34 New old Yugioh>>>>>Link Yugioh
driftracerr34 by what metric?
driftracerr34 Chaotic >>>>>>>> Yu-Gi-Oh
@@zin6352 weak
Alec Fields ya I don’t like the link summoning aspect of the game now,
Twin Headed Behemoth, Sinister Serpent, Scapegoat, Swords...
I quit playing Yugioh when Synchro monsters came out. The last pack I remember buying was a Six Samurai pack. All of the cards you guys mentioned were true nightmares back then. Hearing you guys talk so casually about them is like a knife in the heart. It makes me wonder how crazy the game has become. I just wanted to add Chaos Emperor Dragon and Black Luster Solider were also terrorizing the game back then. Dam now I feel old.
These were the good ol' days. Honestly, they were. No themed or archetype decks, and games were actually decided mostly by skill. The game was less based on luck-sacking and field spamming. I miss those times.
+SSJFutureGohan62093 All of this.
I´m now returning to the card game after 12 years missing it. Back then I already played at tournaments and there it was never about skill. It was about how much money you could spend to get the new broken cards and if you are lucky enough to draw them. At least in the competitive games.
Even back then when we played with friends, we limited our decks by not running all the staples and dedicating them to themes. Because that made more fun than playing against similiar decks everytime.
What I see today are many themed decks with various techniques to play and using them will be fun. Also the new Link stuff looks good. But playing the meta will be as pleasant as back in the day.
well, the most strategy is in the deck building now, but things like luck etc were a point in everytime... and you have many various archetypes you could use, some better than others but if you step outside the, atm, one dimensional meta, the rogue decks are mostly on a equal level.
Der BABA Rouge/casual decks are the most fun imo.
Oh yeah because TeleDAD was such a skillfull and not-pay-to-win deck, good times lol
damn, Yu-Gi-Oh was simple back then.
Injection Fairy Lily could also, funnily enough, out Qliphort Towers during that format.
And also it was on the first banlist next to Chaos Emperor Dragon and Yata Garatsu.
Max respect to Lily just because of that strategy.
I remember when Injection Fairy Lily first came out, it changed the tournament scene in my area because it was easy to get out, high potential power and damage output. it was often combined with either mage power or united we stand for survivability and to spare lp. Not only that , it was also the start of the decline of using tributed monsters in tournaments because they became obsolete.
Best injection fairy Lily story: Last Turn was activated and my opponent had to attack with Lily into my Sanga of the Thunder.
I remember back in the day, all these cards were considered power plays. Breaker was a staple, Injection Fairy Lily was a viable beatsticks with decks revolving around her, and we all feared the devastating Jowgun-Final Turn combo.
I don't remember Reflect Bounder ever being considered 'broken', I'd probably have had either Jinzo or D. Warrior Lady in there instead.
Man-Eater Bug if we're kickin' it real old school.
Believe it or not, Reflect Bounder had staple status for a short time after release.
To answer what I would like to see come back: I just want to see Dark Magician of Chaos' errata overturned, and to have him return to his original power. I don't care if he has to be put back on the banned or limited list to make it happen, but they massacred my poor boi :(
Airknight Parshath yo
You right.
Mystic Vee to think that now there are a lot of 4 stars with 2000 or more attack
There is not something like that without a good amount of restrictions.
power creep destroyed the game for me...90% of matches became coin-flips
Would you consider doing videos on how a deck operates? I am getting back into YGO by watching a lot of your guys' content, but I feel like I am not learning a whole lot due to not knowing the decks I am facing. What I mean is like if someone is running Fluffals, what does that mean? What should I expect? What are the big threats? What should I save removals and what not for? Just kind of a general rundown on the mechanics of the deck and some helpful tips for facing it.
Thanks for all the fantastic content. You got me back in it, last time I played was when Red Eyes Darkness Dragon structure deck first came out.
Aaron Kuhns That's a good idea for content. The Smite channel used to do a how to utilize / beat "x" character and it was very helpful to new players.
I really think it would be fantastic, as most of the time when i am playing i feel like "welp he is gonna do his 1,000,000 things, now I cant use my counter for some reason, and also all my stuff is gone". With all the cards having so much text, it is hard to learn the deck while facing it. And their are sooo many different decks, which is great for a card game, but bad for a beginner XD
Same that would be cool, I'm new but the five videos I've watched I just get an elitist vibe from them. Though I feel like it's some sort of running gag kinda like how SimplyUnlucky always asks what Pot of Greed does
Aaron Kuhns oh my god, I know what you mean. One of my friends have been retraining me to be able to play modern decks. I'm a classic player you see, so the first time we sat down to duel, he pulled out Shaddolls, and I had a Spellcaster/Fiend deck. He did about 8.9 trillion things on his first turn, and I summoned Feral Imp 😄
Aaron Kuhns look into joining FuZe on discord goodluck
Shoutout to my homies Don Zaloog, Mechanicalchaser and Vampire Lord
i remember quite a few of these cards from back in 2008 when i played Perfect Circle online on WC2008 for DS. People splashing Cyberdragon Spiritreaper and Marshmallon in literaly every deck.
I really miss the WC game series...
Also im kinda missing Gorz on this list.
If I remember rightly, with Tsukuyoi you would use Restrict's effect on a monster, then flip it face-down, effectively destroying their monster and letting you attack. Or, you can re flip Restrict back up and take a second monster, which was ridiculously good in Goat Format, especially when you could just go Scapegoat > Avoid Damage > Metamorphosis > Restrict.
good times lol i must admit tho, cyber dragon was scary in its day... still tryna make a viable deck
Kami-no- Baka OTK or Cyber Dragon Infinity lol
You might Consider Cyber Kaijus...
+AnonymMC yea i currently run cyber kaijus, im testing out 60 card cyber abc, its going pretty decently
Welcome to 2020 😂
Breaker was amazing in Goat format because you could destroy the monster that was equipped to Thousand-Eyes Restrict and then use TER's effect again to take control of a new monster. I love goat format.
Jinzo because of his effect & DD warrior lady because it can remove any monster.Also Marshmellon because if you attack it that's 1000 damage to your opponent it's so many cards that are broken.
I'll never forget the fights that would start when someone flipped a penguin soldier
Really? Chick The Yellow was broken? I always thought that Don Zaloog was more broken than him.
+Walking Corpse Just went off on a limb.
***** Ya I didn't start playing competitively till 2010, but I have seen these cards before, but when I saw them I was like in the 7th grade and didn't really have a good grasp on the game. I just remember these cards for being busted, I mean Breaker was worth like $50, Don Zaloog was like $30, Injection Fairy Lily was like $60 I still have an old Yugioh Magazine from 2005 that shows these busted ass cards and their prices.
Walking Corpse I'm pretty sure they just picked the wrong Dark Scorpion. Don Zaloog was a staple warrior back in older formats
Well, technically, Chick the Yellow had an OTK
Non-aggression area and cold wave first turn were broken and nobody realized because they were commons.
Man I was JUST thinking “Oh, but wouldn’t Magician of Faith be good in Spellbooks?” Then you said it.
Book of Moon is the one that springs to mind. I think some of these can still be useful in niche decks though, such as Fairy lilly
I just remembered one day, back in the school. I was watching two friends playing and it was a pretty tight game when eventually one of them got beat to like 600 left and just had one battle fader in hand on the next turn. He passes and his oponent just summoned caius and used caius to banish itself and finish the game, for me, at the time, that was the most insanely sacky play ever
Aww man the nostalgia. I used to play dark scorpians.
Going even further back, I remember three cards that were not only broken but also easy to get:
*Fissure* - Doesn't target. Attack the weak, then fissure the strong
*Man-Eater Bug* - Monster removal (can kill even Blue-Eyes White Dragon!)
*Waboku* - Can be activated at any time
Brain Control, Cold Wave, Trunade must return to the game
Brain control is unlimited now.
However, it got a little nerfed. No, very nerfed. You can't target cards that cannot be normal summoned or set, such as Blue Eyes Alt Dragon. -iconic example I know-
Ah thank you guys for reminding me of old times. My brother and I used so much time on a Rat box deck with flip rock monsters in it. Good times.
what would happen to the current set of players in yugioh if Konami did slow down the game so that going plus 30 off a single getting destroyed by baiting were banned and limited in then game?
Jordan Williams Konami keeps trying to do just that.
Or imagine if they introduced a set system like MTG of Hearthstone
mabey, they could increase the deck minimum to 50. that would slow down all the decks
Belive me they won't.
Well, if you're truly willing to spend more money on Konami, they will do anything for you as long as the money flows in.
Or you can always just play older formats. (Hurray for Goat!)
I'm really glad to see this channel is growing, keep up the good work Team APS!!
This video really shows how poor Konami has handled the power creep in their game. They've pretty much removed multiple aspects of the game that really made it what it was. Every deck these days accomplishes the exact same goal: spam the board full of monsters in one turn and win. The game used to be good but is now full of bullshit spam mechanics and a player base so horrible that most shops actually have stopped running tournaments or even carrying product. The players never buy anything from the store aside from tourney entry and snacks, they steal/sell cards in the store to other players, they're loud, obnoxious and typically are quite unhygienic.
I know about all of those cards, didn't know that some of them used to be considered broken. I still use Breaker because I still think his effect is good (specifically, I use him as a spell counter holder for my strategies that involve spell counters, and if I don't have strategies for that then I might just use him to remove some S/Ts that I'm worried about, but that's basically his second function now. With the right cards out, though, I can use him to remove lots of S/Ts from the field in one turn, so he's still pretty good if you ask me. Of course, I also don't play competitively, so for all I know that might be inefficient as hell.
cyber-stein otk anyone? lol
Mike Marks cyber Stein for blue eyes ultimate an if u had megmorph in hand play that on blue eyes.
Mikey Vengenz yes that too.but either way. it was high risk with that definitely if opponent had magic cylinder lol.
Honestly, the meta some of these cards were originally from was my favorite.
Simpler times, almost like the Pokémon TCG, plus all the nostalgic monsters.
this is basically goat format stuff haha. there are sooo many cards that are terrible now that ran every single tournament in their heyday. very few cards have ever survived the power creep becasue of how good they are such as DAD and bls. while others such as raiza or even stardust dragon and goyo simply died almost immediately.
My boy cyber dragon will never die the cyber dragons will rise again.
Oh my god my friend uses the spirit reaper card and I hoped it would be on this list
also one thing I'd like to mention that wasn't covered in this video with Tsukuyomi is that back then, you would summon restrict, equip an opposing monster, pass, and then use Tsukuyomi to flip restrict down so u can flip it back up and take another monster.
Borreload, hand traps, and borrrlsword are all broken even in modern standard
Honestly Jinzo was an interesting case though it was the bane of most decks because it was an easy out for cylinder mirror force Judgement and many other traps when they were more prominent, now a days even with a whole Jinzo Architype it's barely even considered a threat.
i want old yugioh so bad, fuck this extra deck bullshit
lave 87 play U.A, fire king, or hazy flame
jesus bastidas Kozmo

Well its still here...just get the cards...make old decks...and better them with the new cards from right now of the old days...
Duel Monsters has gotten some repronts and new cards...but its still missing some other rarities...next we need GX era to get re printed with new cards too or cards from the anime
Duel links.
I just found your channel and loving your videos. I own so many yugioh cards roughly 8,000 I’ve been playing for years stopped a couple years ago and started back up. I miss playing the old ways instead of people 1 or 2 turning me with 30 minute combos when they could just tell me I’d loose
Everything in yugioh now is broken. When I got back into it I had to borrow my cousins karakuri deck cause my old cards weren't considered "good" anymore. I didn't really enjoy synchros but I thought it could get me by all the xyz and circus pen card bs. (I literally didn't know pendulums were apart of yugioh when I first saw it) I had some of the best cards back in the day but I knew they weren't gonna work anymore. I decided to go to a small tournament at a card shop after a few weeks of messing around with friends and figuring out strategies for my deck and my opponent on my "FIRST" duel on his "FIRST TURN" summoned a xyz monster who 1. Couldn't be destroyed by battle and card effects. And literally several other effects that made it invincible (I forgot the name). My second opponents strategy was almost exactly the same as well. I never went back cause literally everyone ran the same otk type of deck. Me and my friends only play the old school yugioh in school and I like it more that way. I can tolerate synchros but the game died after that in my opinion.
What XYZ monster that can't be destroyed by card effects and battle?I don't know any of those without restrictions.And are talking about Raidraptor Ultimate Falcon or Great Magnus?
I do exact strategy
Giant Rat was the best of these searcher back then especially with 1 random Des Laccoda, but only a few people used it, because they wanted to play light and dark to be able to play Chaos Sorcerer, but it was still possible to play Chaos Sorcerer with earth monsters, but these decks were hard to build.
I recently made second channel to upload yugioh videos. honestly you inspired it
Really? I'm honored!
***** yeah, and honestly reading your reply made my day. Keep up the good work and have a wonderful day.
@team and You should do more of these because their are a LOT OF THESE! Thanks for the content guys,you got me back into yugioh
@team aps! thanks auto correct
pot of greed is never played (i know its banned dont spam that)
But what does it do?
It's crazy how accurate this video is. I pulled out my old goat control deck from 2007 with my UDE id card. Every single card in this video was in my deck or side deck. I hope that we see scapegoat teched into new decks because of links utilizing them. So many memories, thanks for the video.
+drinks Thanks! Glad you enjoyed this. :)
charmander is my favorite yugioh monster
Performapal Lizardraw?
Team APS Bulbasaur
Some of those cards got hit because they were part of combos. Tsukuyomi was a main component of the Thousand-Eyes Restrict combo that for a time completely turned the game into a giant stall battle. That combo put Tsukuyomi, Metamorphosis, and Thousand-Eyes Restrict on the banned list.
Dark Scorpion - Chick the Yellow was also part of an OTK combo with Call of the Haunted and Makyura the Destructor. Makyura goes the graveyard, use Call from your hand to bring back a Chick, Chick hits for 1000 and uses it's effect to bounce Call back to your hand, Chick goes back to the Graveyard, still in your battle phase you play Call again to bring back a Chick, Chick hits for 1000, bounces Call, etc. etc. until your opponent is dead.
Crystal Wing will become obsolete one day.
+Harvir Dhindsa That's a frightening thought...
Me and my friends still play with the cards before syncro cards was released. We find the games more fun and long lasting. And we think it takes more strategy, Instead of winning from a few turns from summoning like 8 monsters in one turn
I hate almost any video with the twins, especially when talking about cards from before they got into the game. They just mock the cards, at least Trell would respect the cards from the past. These guys come off as obnoxious.
Julio Paredes haha! Thanks for that
Thank god someone else noticed it. I thought it was just me. The only insult they have is sarcasm. It’s the same “joke” over and over again. I’m not some salty nostalgia fan. I’d actually enjoy this video more if they would actually insult in any other way them sarcasm. If I have to here,”woahhhhhh so broken” one more time I swear.
Fuck u I love these guys
I like em.
When he said " blaspheme" i almost shit my pants laughing 😂
The condescending tone gets old fast...
Yeah couldn't make it through. Specially dude on the right.
Dark Magician of Chaos. Recycle a spell and banish whatever he defeats by battle. That second effect would be somewhat useful today since a lot of cards have effects dealing with cards in the graveyard.
yata garasu was the worse
Damn no Man Eater Bug or Cyber Jar? Lol that's what I thought when I saw Magician of Faith.
I'd like to see the game slowed down, OTK's make the game less exciting. No battles anymore. Whoever get the best initial draw, wins
Going first was a huge advantage even back in the day.And OTKs take more skill than just normal summon set 1 pass
Lol, best initial draw was a huge part of the game back then, these days the game is more consistent because its less about the "best" draw and just about "a decent draw", even today, bricking on your mid-combo spells in first draw is hell, but far more cards in your deck will let you build a gameplan, rather then just praying your next draw is somehow enough to give you advantage while they destroy some random monster you wanted later, not now

0:12 0:36 2:11 2:51 3:01 voice crack. Every single video
Coming from when the majority of the cards were still played, the game has changed so much. I quit around when IOC was out, and coming back today is just an eye opener.
I hate how all of them come off as obnoxious and better then you. Old Yugioh was a completely different game then it is today. I'm not a fan of how they mock the older generation's. Those older cards were the basis of what the game is today. Instead of mocking all those oldies, they need to respect them. They game is completely different now, but nonetheless both games were fun in their own rights.
+Myles Bartunek I think you missed the point of this video.
Tsuku and MoF combo was my absolute favourite, my first decent deck was the first spellcaster structure deck if you couldn't tell.
I loved both of these cars (and Breaker) and hated it when they were gone. And now they are kinda bad... I'm sad.
Also I think Don Zaloog would have been the better example than Chick, he was more popular, from what I can remember at least.
What does Pot of Greed do?
Cyka Blyat you draw 2 cards
Felipe Augusto you failed the test
Special Summon up to 5 monsters from your hand, deck, graveyard, banish zone, or extra deck onto the field, ignoring their summoning conditions. Also you draw 5 cards. The card's activation cannot be negated and the opponent cannot activate anything in response. Also, the monsters summoned by this effect are unaffected by card effects and cannot be tributed.
Solar Flare Dragon. The meta is such that burn decks don't really work, but I remember back in the day I beat everyone with my Solar Flare Dragons! 1000 unblockable damage every turn from effect monsters that could not be destroyed by battle damage, so in defense mode they made you invincible. Combo that with spells and traps that prevented high damage monsters from attacking or destroyed enemy attacking monsters, and you had a deck that would lock down almost any other deck!
Wow things from 10 years ago are bad in an advancing meta/gamestate. Amazing /s
Cyber Dragon was the go-to when Synchros were a thing. Special summon Cyber Dragon, normal summon your free tuner, beastly synchro summon in 1 turn. Those were the days.
Notification squaaaaad
Salute!
The thumbnail expressions are like now like 20% of the reason I click the videos without even reading the title.
+jaegamer (jaegamer) lol thanks. I must be doing something right! Glad you like them! :)
Seriously half of this video is the three of them sarcastically criticizing these cards. it's not interesting, I can't take your opinion seriously when you don't talk seriously. You want to talk about the old cards weaknesses, by all means. but be serious
That's fine.
Team APS I like the video but the sarcasm was a bit over the top.
Chick the Yellow was actually a part of an OTK with Makyura the Destructor and Call of the Haunted. You'd bounce Call with Chick's effect, he'd go to the grave, then thanks to Makyura's effect, you could keep playing Call from your hand to revive Chick, Attack again, and so forth
+Micaiah the Otaku Gamer [HybridAngelZero] Thanks for clarifying! I'd chosen it to include in this list because I wanted to just pick something that wasn't Don Zaloog. I'll heart this comment so others see.
ayy
I think part of the problem was that these cards had limited spell cards printed on a body. This was also back when yugioh games lasted past turn 3.
Mst on a 1600 body was really good when mst was already at 1.
A slightly worse magic cylinder is really good when cylinder was at 1 and it was guaranteed to hit for at least 1700.
Smashing ground was limited to 1 and exiled force was a strictly better smashing ground.
As a magic player as well, ETB effects are always really good when they print other cards on a body.
Back when 1 for 1 trades were actually really good like exiled force and sakuretsu armor and trap cards like mirror force were great
The most satisfying duel I ever had (with my Gadget Deck) against a typical guy who always needed to state an excuse every time he lost: Second turn, Heavy Storm, Future Fusion, Overload Fusion, Win.
Urrrg, this video makes me feel so old, like "Get off my lawn!". I have used every single one of these XD
Yeah:1. Magic Cylinder2. Don Zaloog3. Dark Magician of Chaos4. Mirror ForceThose cards were awesome back in the day, I'd love to see them come back to being relevant.
It's crazy for me to watch these videos. I started playing with my friend when LOB came out, then MRD, then MRL, and after looking through my collection I have a few RDS cards but never made it to FET. I hear you guys talking and I don't even understand the game at all, or why it would even be fun to play when people are winning in the first few turns, or when the cards are so powerful. The thing that always excited me about this game was going with my buddy on payday and buying a box of 50 boosters and opening them in his basement, mulling over our treasure, making trades, coming up with new deck ideas, and then playing all night long and all the next day.
Winning or losing didn't really matter as much as being creative and having fun with the cards. We did look up the rules clarifications and followed the ban list most of the time (unless we didn't feel like it). The only house rule we developed was no starter deck cards, so if you wanted to play a Blue Eyes or a Dark Magician you had to open that fucker, and no buying singles either. You get what you get. That made the meta part of the game as much fun as playing it.
The idea that battle phases and flip effects are irrelevant just blows my mind. I mean it sounds like it's not even the same game anymore.
I'm kind of surprised they didn't mention DAD, judging that he shut down every deck for a period of time
