They definitely need to be release for the TCG. My wife has been wanting a Dark Magician deck for a long time but a lot of the support cards are really hard to come by now days.
Jet dragon is technically 10 dollars in the TCG but you're not guaranteed it, same thing with dark dragoon it's like 20 bucks but again no guarantees on the extra card pack so it wouldn't even bring down the price
I seriously don't see what the difference between English Edition for Asia vs. everywhere else if it's the same language. It's just an arbitrary regional divide and it's borderline xenophobic
in Game 1 at 8:10 , BEWD actually could be banished. Azure eyes only protects the dragons that were 'currently' on field at the time of effect resolution which happens upon Azure eyes' summon. BEWD was then summoned by Azure afterwards which means BEWD is targetable.
Paul and Alec duels are always so fun. Paul trying to keep up the courteous calm demeanor while Alec puts on his best anime character impression. Cant wait for the next one.
@@yorguenaut4499me too! I wish I had any real friends that Like card games! Particularly old-school Yugioh, old modern Magic: the Gathering, and last but definitely not least Harry Potter! 🤓⚡🦉
XD honestly Paul's calm vs Alec's high energy makes me imagine them as Rivals in their own version of the anime. But they aren't on the Dividing Arc that makes one go down the road of darkness yet
It's funny how the Dark Magician deck felt overpowered by Blue Eyes for 2 of the 3 duels, but in the end the Blue Eyes bricked and Paul had the good ol' destiny draw lol
Magical Dimension and Dark Magic Circle carried hardcore. That's always been the classic Yugi vs Kaiba struggle. Kaiba/BEWD is all about raw power and strength while Yugi/DM has "weaker" cards but much more tricky and versatile strategies. I've always loved Magical Dimension and wish it saw more play. It's such a crazy card and I think the game is in a bad state when something that strong is seen as a bad or mediocre card.
Do they no longer print the original artwork Dark Magician? I recently got back into Yugioh after not playing since i was 10 back in 2003 and was sad to see how expensive some of these older cards are.
These decks definitely seem like a great product for beginners/ nostalgia seekers and those looking for reprints for a lot of those cards. The only thing I would say that could help would’ve actually been to put BEWD alternative in the deck. Not sure if it’s in the power-up list, but for as long as I played blue eyes it’s always been a necessary card
I liked listening to the video while I was cooking. Although I got out of Yu-Gi-Oh because of synchro summoning and so one it's still nice to watch you guys. definitely love the retro rivals and old school duels though 💗💗
That was really fun. I could definitely see a place for these in the TCG markets - but as Alec said, as Starter Decks like the Slifer and Obelisk decks… but better.
As a Blue Eyes player, any love my favorite dragons get is always welcomed! I'd love to see these released. The idea of a booster pack specifically tailored to help your deck is even more encouragement to buy three of them
6:55 When activating the effect of Blue Eyes Spirit Dragon to summon Azure, Azure must be summoned in defense position. That's why it's common for Azure to be summoned at the end of the opponents turn so it can attack on your turn.
@@Tomy_Lightning The translations have it as is either called Master of Dragons Magia or Dragon Magia Master. Here is the card info: "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" (or 3 "Blue-Eyes" monsters) + 1 "Chaos" or "Black Luster Soldier" Ritual Monster Must be Fusion Summoned. When your opponent activates a card or effect (Quick Effect): You can negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card. You can only activate this effect of "Dragon Magia Master" in response to each card type (Monster, Spell, or Trap) once per turn. If this face-up card in its owner's control leaves the field because of an opponent's card: You can Special Summon 1 "Blue-Eyes" monster, or 1 "Chaos" or "Black Luster Soldier" Ritual Monster, from your Extra Deck or GY.
I wish we could get a new red-eyes structure deck (I think the last one was the GX one with darkness dragon as the boss monster) there should be a new one with dragoon as the boss monster
I'd heard about a 2023 red eyes deck in the ocg but I havent seen it yet, they said a new blue eyes structure was coming out too but it was only for rush duel 😪
I think Dragoon is lame as a boss monster for Red-eyes. I don't want to play a Red-eyes deck to have Dark Magician as my boss monster. Give Red-eyes it's own new boss.
They should release it in NA for multiple reasons Inexpensive Magicians' Souls Bringing back OG card arts is always a good move. Most YGO players by now are old enough that we don't need to fear pictures of grenades, knives, or cleavage. I think we can handle it Yugi-Boomers such as myself love seeing more support for the older icons
I really like this video, I previously looked the all-in-one video on all duels with first Starter Decks and I came accross this video. I like these decks but I think in TCG the content of the booster pack should be included in the predefined set of cards of the set as all our Structure Deck. I prefer additionnal pack as rarity improvement, like the Charmer Structure Deck which contains some of the charmers in different artworks and it was fine. Thanks for this video and happy holidays.
Love the original Yu-Gi-Oh Series! The Yu-Gi-Oh Manga was my introduction to the anime world and has become very important to me. I also have the same birthday as the King of Games himself! I actually made a 3D animated duel between Yugi and Kaiba with them using more modern decks on my channel! Love Yu-Gi-Oh and Love you guys at Team APS have a great holiday season!
i love the original for how dark and creepy all the cards were that's why i was so interested in it as a kid but the newer cards are more generic anime although still cool
I just bought 3 copies of each deck, and I tried to create a deck with those cards. All I can say is that the Dark Magician deck is vastly more powerful than the Blue Eyes deck I can create. Until now I've been trying to create a blue eyes deck with just this structure deck to make it have a chance with the Dark Magician deck that I created, but it is hard, especially since the cards that are available in this structure deck doesn't focus much on destroying spell and trap cards. At the same time, the dark magician has those abilities with dark magic attacks and dark magic circles and blue eyes, hahaha the only card I can use to destroy spells and trap cards is Chaos Dragon Laviener. Still, that card is also hard for someone, and if I did someone it, another dark magic circle would be activated later. But yeah, now the only thing I can think of is to remove the dark magic circle from the dark magician deck so the blue eyes deck has a higher chance to defeat dark magician hahaha just hope this structure deck also gives blue eyes a card that can destroy spell and trap card cause dark magic circle is annoying if you don't.
I think that if they release these 2 decks with all of the Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes support (and i mean ALL of it, because a lot of support is not included), these products would do so well.
Yeah they should do that or just release a MASSIVE Dark Magician set that is like a deck and full on tool kit to edit and adjust the deck with ALL support
@@Neceroe These are just meant to be cheap starter decks for people who want to play the fan favourites, but not play in any serious manner. They probably still have plans to use Alternative as a chase card in a different set.
@@SakuraAvalon I mean fair but still its atleast imo as a very avid blue eyes player the most important card in the deck since its their only free summon i understand them being casual for fun decks but its weird that Dark magician gets most of its insane support and blue eyes gets their old very slow cards that most people don't even use anymore.
@@Neceroe I imagine it's because Blue-Eyes has more competitive viability. So Konami sees it as a way to sell products more easily than Dark Magician, who tends to stagnate in Tier 2. Don't get me wrong, Blue-Eyes isn't Tier-1, but it has seen a competitive scene that Dark Magician has not. And being Blue-Eyes, means it meshes better with the insane generic Dragon support that constantly finds itself in the Tier-1 category. Honestly, I personally think the decks are both lacking reprints, and Blue-Eyes did get shafted harder. But, it's Konami. They're greedy.
The last 2-3 mins of that duel was really sleak. I like how Alec saved himself even though he was put into a corner. Only to get polyed on next turn xD.
@22:35 Alec only has 2 cards in hand, Cards of Consonance and Dragon Ravine, then draws into Silvers Cry for turn. Where’s he get the tuner from to discard for Cards of Consonance?
Yeah they need to drop this. I’m getting back into yugioh irl outside of master duel. And having a dark magician structure deck I can pick up easily and be legal in TCG would go a long way in starting back up.
I wished more people played like Team APS, I get tired of dudes with poker faces saying "...summon... effect... effect... summon... special... special... effect... turn..."
Mixed feelings on these. Several months ago we heard Dark Magician and Blue Eyes were going to be getting new decks soon and I was kinda excited for new support cards to be found in the decks to help these Legacy Builds but I now think these were the products they were talking about. We’ll likely get them here and it’s neat they have newer cards like Magicians Souls and Soul Servant but I was hoping the decks would get a few new support cards like previous decks had gotten such as the God Card Decks. Dark Magician in particular I wish had a new Spellcaster Link monster for Magician’s Rod instead of Artemis as she’s mostly a blank text box in most DM builds. Having a different Dragon Link off of DM instead of Imduk which also is a blank text box in most builds. We also need support that makes these 2 Legacy builds more consistent. As it stands currently these decks run out of plays quicker than most competitive decks so they burn themselves out quick only to get hit with like 1 negate and the whole combo comes crashing down and it’s game over. This is in major part because these decks are very prone to bricking so getting support that helps cover those couple of weaknesses would be great. Unfortunately, instead of new and needed support we got more reprints again.
That was a lot of fun! I hope they release these decks in the TCG. Seeing how they were used in this match, they seem fun to play. Hope you guys had a Merry Christmas
@@absolutionveil8632 Ah OK but generally Konami has a weird fetish for Blue and Dark Magician. I still remember when all these cards were getting released leading up to the Dark Side of Dimensions movie.
I just like Yu-Gi-Oh I don't care LoL. I still don't understand tcg or ocg I'll have to look them up to understand the difference. I think it has to do with the "standards" the us being strict on stuff like art, censoring cards or making them illegal in competitive.
@@DankMoonBladeThe OCG is the original Japanese release of the game. Not only are they months ahead of us, but they also have a completely different ban list and standards of their meta game in the competitive scene. So things that are wildly popular over there don't have the same reaction here, and vice versa.
@@jerfuhrer2581 Yeah I looked it up, and heard dark dragoon is getting unbanned soon, so I'm looking forward to that in master duel if it ever happens. I still don't know why they separated the markets, other than the west censorship needs, probably caused problems for them in Asia and said fck it lol. I just ordered the new dark magician structure deck from the OCG, my favorite so I had to lol.
17:16 i don't play dark magicians very often; but at this point when Alec started his main phase; couldn't Paul have activated Eternal soul to get DM out on the field in defense position and banish Blue-Eyes Jet to stop it from nuking his eternal soul? Or is there something I missed?
Those decks are legit. It’s not hard to buy one of the other cheaper blue eyes decks and dark Magican decks and combine it. I love the bonus packs they come with. We defiantly need that. The duels were fun and responsive too. Seems like you both had moves to make every time one of you did something.
the reason it's not legal in the TCG is because they can't overpriced it here so it's illegal even tho it's pretty much the same thing. same reason they won't allow you to use OCG cards that are cheaper because they print them at lower rarity even tho everyone can just look it up. when i went to build a lab deck TCG Big Welcome Labrynth is 30$ the OCG is 3$
I really love how they announce their plays and effects as the anime characters would usually do. Its quite entertaining for me, and helps me to understand better what card does what (i dont play yugioh, just the old videogames with old cards)
Structure deck duels are always a blast to watch! And yea I'd love to see these decks officially released in the west, they'd be great for any Dark Magician and Blue Eyes enthusiasts!
These NEED to be printed in TCG as well!! At 9:05 Azure-Eyes gets destroyed triggering Jet Dragons Effect special summoning it on the field. Next turn Jet Dragons other effect to return one card the opponent controls to the hand could have been used but anyhow it was destroyed and send to the GY, but BEWD and DM the Dragon Knight destroying each other triggering the effect of Jet Dragon again since it can be used once per turn. Thats what maked the new BE support so awesome :D So Alec, my fellow dragon brother would have ended with Jet Dragon back on his side of the field. But guys, keep one!
I'd honestly love to see these decks and other improved structure decks come to the U.S. and go around the world. Giving power up packs makes not all structure decks to be complete copy and paste strategies as you need to consider the booster pack giving duelists some extra options to work around with!
I would love to see these released abroad! As someone who loves the nostalgia of YuGiOh, I’d love to have character-themed decks on hand to duel with friends!
Love these contents of SD Battles ❤ Got the decks for my own in Asia, just wish Yugioh still has "pickup and play" potential despite the long texts of card that scare new player
Something that really stands out to me is that even though these decks seem a lot more complex and interactive, the bones of the decks/the mechanics still call back to the original Yugi vs. Kaiba "ideas". The Dark Magician deck is really interactive and "tricky" manipulating the Dark Magician on and off the field for effects. The Blue-Eyes deck is very much focused on offense offense offense, and it feels it's more "straight-forward". Which is honestly great, when the deck mechanics can really evoke a sense of the underlying idea, that's a real home run. Would love to see these products released globally.
I like a deck with this level/power. You can see a lot of interesting back-and-forth. Then it is still very easy to follow as a viewer. . When talking about casual play, people mostly only talk about the old or classic decks. But I want to see more low-power modern decks/support cards like this. I feel they can do a lot of interesting play, but still very fair. I feel modern "good" decks always can generate overkill advantages if their opponent is "unlucky" because they don't draw any disruptions. While these decks are here, even if without any disruptions, the endboard is still fair.
They should.. Its sad we don't get a lot of the support or cards released here like we should.. ....the fact they printed soul servant and magicians soul and blues eyes sage, as well as the power up packs says alot
i think thats WHAT EVERY YUGIOH FAN NEEDS , not new starter packs from 20 year old VANILLA BOSS MONSTERS ... but another TEAM APS VIDEO ...LESGOOOO I hope everyone had blessed holidays :)

As a JoJo's fan and a Dark Magician duelist
The first art is perfect
I honestly hate the tablet art on DM and blue eyes..

Dark magician 100% I just wish it had The Dark Magicians as an extra deck or power pack card.
Illusion of the Dark Magicians
These decks are AWFUL, for TCG wise at least
Dark magician, so amazing (I use it on master duel for fun, so this would be nice to use IRL)
Omg crackdown, I love that trap
I liked listening to the video while I was cooking. Although I got out of Yu-Gi-Oh because of synchro summoning and so one it's still nice to watch you guys. definitely love the retro rivals and old school duels though 💗💗
I have very little understanding of modern Yugioh, but you guys’ joy for the game is infectious. Loved watching it and following turn by turn.
Another solid duel! I was here to stay as soon as I heard the Sacred Cards music in the intro, that really brings me back!
3x copies of this product is pretty amazing and actually good for budget players who love legacy archetypes. I hope they release this.
Blue-Eyes absolute lack of backrow removal is a clear disadvantage.
They need a searchable back row wipe...wingbeat of giant dragon ain't enough...
This was so fun to watch, just back and forth gameplay with classic archetypes over multiple turns and no hand traps
I've wanted to make a joke about a channel switching to OCG for ages now.
I'm glad y'all finally got to these structure decks. I really appreciate the uncensored art work. Thank you for making this video!
That was really fun. I could definitely see a place for these in the TCG markets - but as Alec said, as Starter Decks like the Slifer and Obelisk decks… but better.
Really enjoying these fun duels, reminds me of why I started playing in the first place
Love your energy guys! That's the cherry on top cause also how you explain and display the products is awesome.
Keep up the good work!

Let me guess a new "blue-eyes ultimate dragon" retrain.
@@Tomy_Lightningclose. I think it's a retrain of Dragon Master Knight (blue eyes ultimate fused with BLS in case you don't remember.)

These aren't "reprints" as far as Asian English is concerned
No they aren’t????? Also, this is new to these places not for us
Yugioh fell off, yall just wont admit it. Real fans know that they overprint the same shit over and over, n were tired of it.

@@phillipbarr Lmao lashing out when proven wrong, classic
The thing is they will make asia english banlist, like yes ppl rn can mix ocg jp with ocg ae but after that probably they'll separated it
they already did the banlist. you should look it up. its hilarious
I love your guys videos. They are hilarious. I listen to them all the time
great stuff, really found it entertaining. Love you guys!
These two decks are so amazing with the desirable singles that I am still tempted to buy to use with casual play
these deck are jank. blue-eyes unironically has 3 NON blue-eyes vanilla cards
Honestly love watching you guys, keep up the great content
So we can’t use it and they can’t read it cause it’s in English. What a product.
So im guessing yugioh doesnt allow foreign cards?
I just like Yu-Gi-Oh I don't care LoL. I still don't understand tcg or ocg I'll have to look them up to understand the difference. I think it has to do with the "standards" the us being strict on stuff like art, censoring cards or making them illegal in competitive.
@@DankMoonBladeThe OCG is the original Japanese release of the game. Not only are they months ahead of us, but they also have a completely different ban list and standards of their meta game in the competitive scene. So things that are wildly popular over there don't have the same reaction here, and vice versa.
@@jerfuhrer2581 Yeah I looked it up, and heard dark dragoon is getting unbanned soon, so I'm looking forward to that in master duel if it ever happens. I still don't know why they separated the markets, other than the west censorship needs, probably caused problems for them in Asia and said fck it lol. I just ordered the new dark magician structure deck from the OCG, my favorite so I had to lol.
LMAOOO
17:16 i don't play dark magicians very often; but at this point when Alec started his main phase; couldn't Paul have activated Eternal soul to get DM out on the field in defense position and banish Blue-Eyes Jet to stop it from nuking his eternal soul? Or is there something I missed?
Those decks are legit. It’s not hard to buy one of the other cheaper blue eyes decks and dark Magican decks and combine it. I love the bonus packs they come with. We defiantly need that. The duels were fun and responsive too. Seems like you both had moves to make every time one of you did something.
That was really fun. Would love to see more of those releases. I also liked that they have the Uncensored art.
These videos are great haha. I picked up 3 each of these, they are a super fun structure deck. Would be awesome to see them released in the TCG.
I would love for the divide between ocg and tcg products to become much more blurred and less distinct. Everyone deserves amazing cards.
I would happily drop an extra couple quid on structure decks if they came with power up packs. Thats such a good idea
I love how boisterous Alec is every time he announces "Draw!" It elicits a chuckle every time.
That was a fun one! Especially the final duel!
Seeing MR and RoD with those artworks reignites my hope for Magi Magi Magician Girl to get real ears stateside.
Loved the audio on this video! :)
I started playing dual links again after watching your videos. And I have been having a lot of fun so thank you for that.
Great time as usual gentlemen; thanks much for the video!
the reason it's not legal in the TCG is because they can't overpriced it here so it's illegal even tho it's pretty much the same thing.
same reason they won't allow you to use OCG cards that are cheaper because they print them at lower rarity even tho everyone can just look it up.
when i went to build a lab deck TCG Big Welcome Labrynth is 30$ the OCG is 3$
And now they no longer have the excuse that the OCG doesn't print cards in English so the region barrier is completely arbitrary
remember to watch another video of team APS right after this. the algorithm really likes that.
merry Christmas everybody🎄
Would love a modern day original Yugioh remake movie wif Kaiba & Yugi dueling using these updated decks
These are one of my favorite types of videos you guys make. They just have so much personality.
I really love how they announce their plays and effects as the anime characters would usually do. Its quite entertaining for me, and helps me to understand better what card does what (i dont play yugioh, just the old videogames with old cards)
this kind of duel is more fun to watch than those one turn KO by literally filling all of the field with cards
That was an amazing video and match. Keep it up, boyz
Structure deck duels are always a blast to watch! And yea I'd love to see these decks officially released in the west, they'd be great for any Dark Magician and Blue Eyes enthusiasts!
Love it whenever Paul refers to his opponent as 'Duelist'
Amazing duel! Loved this structures decks
That face you made, everytime home boy brought out jet dragon was so funny!
These NEED to be printed in TCG as well!!
At 9:05 Azure-Eyes gets destroyed triggering Jet Dragons Effect special summoning it on the field. Next turn Jet Dragons other effect to return one card the opponent controls to the hand could have been used but anyhow it was destroyed and send to the GY, but BEWD and DM the Dragon Knight destroying each other triggering the effect of Jet Dragon again since it can be used once per turn. Thats what maked the new BE support so awesome :D
So Alec, my fellow dragon brother would have ended with Jet Dragon back on his side of the field.
But guys, keep one!
I'd honestly love to see these decks and other improved structure decks come to the U.S. and go around the world. Giving power up packs makes not all structure decks to be complete copy and paste strategies as you need to consider the booster pack giving duelists some extra options to work around with!
I would love to see these released abroad! As someone who loves the nostalgia of YuGiOh, I’d love to have character-themed decks on hand to duel with friends!
Love these contents of SD Battles ❤ Got the decks for my own in Asia, just wish Yugioh still has "pickup and play" potential despite the long texts of card that scare new player
Manm this OST brings me back keep up the great content
Interesting finds Alec & Paul got here,
OCG decks but released in english, hope we get these over here
( nice gba ygo ost btw )
19:15 "Magician's Combination" countered the entire Blue Eyes Deck 😂
Something that really stands out to me is that even though these decks seem a lot more complex and interactive, the bones of the decks/the mechanics still call back to the original Yugi vs. Kaiba "ideas".
The Dark Magician deck is really interactive and "tricky" manipulating the Dark Magician on and off the field for effects. The Blue-Eyes deck is very much focused on offense offense offense, and it feels it's more "straight-forward". Which is honestly great, when the deck mechanics can really evoke a sense of the underlying idea, that's a real home run.
Would love to see these products released globally.
What happened to the dragon's ravine in Alec's hand in game 3?? 22:34
He didn’t have a tuner in hand for cards of consonance so they cut the vid and changed his hand a little 😂
I like a deck with this level/power. You can see a lot of interesting back-and-forth. Then it is still very easy to follow as a viewer.
.
When talking about casual play, people mostly only talk about the old or classic decks. But I want to see more low-power modern decks/support cards like this. I feel they can do a lot of interesting play, but still very fair. I feel modern "good" decks always can generate overkill advantages if their opponent is "unlucky" because they don't draw any disruptions. While these decks are here, even if without any disruptions, the endboard is still fair.
They should.. Its sad we don't get a lot of the support or cards released here like we should.. ....the fact they printed soul servant and magicians soul and blues eyes sage, as well as the power up packs says alot
It seems like they want to get a new market, they know the US is on lock at this point.
These could make good tcg decks, I’d try them at least once. Also love the nostalgia aspect using music from dark duel stories, nice touch
i think thats WHAT EVERY YUGIOH FAN NEEDS , not new starter packs from 20 year old VANILLA BOSS MONSTERS ... but another TEAM APS VIDEO ...LESGOOOO
I hope everyone had blessed holidays :)
Would have perfered a red eyes deck or something og chsrscters besides a 67th blue eyes deck
Misplay by Alec at 17:20 Azure-Eyes' materials are 1 Tuner and 1+ Non-Tuner NORMAL monster. Blue-Eyes Jet is not a Normal Monster. Judge!
@22:35 Alec doesn’t have a tuner in hand and draws silver cry for turn but then magically has a tuner to discard for cards of consonance… JUDGE!!!
this looks sick, always love classic matchups from any of the anime ! im super excited for the 2 player thing coming out soon, tho!! c:
