Jadens deck revolves around fusions and they didnt even bother to include at least one or two common ones, i know its a starter deck, but without those, these heroes are just bad vanilla monsters
To be fair, even through fusion were part of Judai's deck, they weren't part of everyone's deck, if there is one thing that GX introduce that, this starter decks do well, it's Archetypes... Because before GX they didn't existed besides some cards having unique spells design for then.
@@Namor87 Not really, in GX it's when Archetypes came together before it was "This card for Dark Magician" or "This card for Blue-eyes White Dragon", etc. But in GX it was on cards that share the same name or thematic point and if you look at the different decks of the cast around Judai/Jaden, you have a deck that ends up focusing on Rituals, Cyber Angels, a deck that focus on summoning powerful monsters Dinosaurs(At that time they weren't the power house of different summoning methods that they are now), the weird deck of Manjoume/Chazz which focus on both fusion, summoning powerful monsters and LVL monsters... And finally the other person with a deck focusing on fusion Sho/Syrus. But what all of then have in common, with exception of Manjoume/Chazz, it's that they focus on the thematic point of each one creating cards that either help to have the equivalent of a swift knife, or a quick way to execute an strategy with cards that have a similar without then being generic, it wasn't well done, but it was the beginning.
If you pay more attention you'll notice that GX wasn't really the Fusion show that made Fusions good. It was more about the archetypes and made archetypes into a thing. Fusions didn't become a relevant strategy untill much later with the introduction of Shaddolls and ArcV brought many strong fusion strategies such as Gem Knights, Fluffals, Ancient Gear Chaos Giant, Lunalights, Predaplants and most of all Invoked. There were some Hero variants that did well before all that but I personally don't see Masked Hero as a legitimate fusion deck. And if that were the case then Abc was also a very powerful structure deck that came out during the ArcV era and it involved a fusion monster so might as well call it a fusion deck.
I remember getting that Jaden deck back in the day. It was a cool one with some juicy spells but I remember being a bit disappointed by the complete lack of fusion monsters. Like come on, this is supposed to be Jaden's whole schtick!
@@estebanrodriguez5409 I think Jaiden actually had multiple copies of Poly at least, I can’t remember specifics but I swear he uses it multiple times without adding the same copy back to his hand sometimes
@@turtlesfan44 Yes, the original starter decks from season 1 all came with the polymerization spell, cant recall if they came with any fusion monsters tho
I remember buying this deck as a kid for the sole purpose of getting Polymerization, since I didnt know where else to get that card and I was sure Jaiden would have it... was v disappointed
27:03 Oops, forgot to automatically switch Submarineroid to defense position after attacking directly! Unfortunately, that mistake cost 1000 life points, and consequently, the game.
@@s.oddity3640 No, because in this instance it's used to express that the frustration is an intense feeling rather than just frustration on its own. It's used as a descriptor in this case.
@@jackurokawa3838 Wouldn't it be hilarious if in 2021 two dudes were playing 2007 Struture Decks based on a series of the anime that featured tons of Fusion Monsters and was even introduced as the "Fusion World" in a later series (ARC V), and the only Special Summoned methods the real life Decks seem to use are a Rescueroid-Ambulanceroid combo, no Fusions in sight, so Brain Control only nabbing Normal Summone monsters is perfectly fine. Wouldn't that be something?
should've but if you forget, you forget. The effect to switch it's position is optional, meaning you can accidentally not choose it, and that's perfectly in line with the rules.
Oh there is someone who mentioned it, well still I had to bring it up on another comment because this is something the player mentioned in an earlier duel, and he didn't do itint hat duel, andyes, it was a problem becauseit was attacked as if in attack mode even though it wasn't supposed to be.
@@frontierwingsix if I'm not mistaken it has 2 effects. The first is the direct attack of 800. Then swap to defence or its 2nd effect is if its the target of an attack it can swap to defense.
Great nostalgia from watching the game! But a good tip for the double quick play spell was to target the E-Hero Bladedge in round two. Probably could have saved a turn with that, Paul.
@@TheKidblazer1 not trying to negative about it just Alec misplays a lot! I think he doesn’t really care because it’s casual games or he misreads a lot lol.
There was also a misplay where Submarineroid attacked directly one time and wasn't switched to defense mode. He swtiched another monster to defense mode manually but Submarineroid's effect auto-works like that. I don't see any other comments mentioning it, so allow me to direction your attention to 27:02, since people seem to not have noticed. And YES, it does come up on the next turn, the monster is slain by Mataza the Zapper whose ATK CANNOT overtake Submarineroid's DEF.
@@DrakeSilver Well then, I stand corrected. 😅 I genuinely didn't know anyone liked Roids. They've always seemed like the lamest archetype to me. Usually even If I don't like an archetype, I can see why people do, but Roids just look like they were designed in 5 minutes.
Funny story from when I was a little kid: I wanted a roid deck of my own and started gathering every roid card I could find. One day I went to a card shop and my brother had told me I needed a card called hemorrhoid. So I asked somebody if they had one. Embarrassed afterward.
Wow, love that Jaden starter deck, i remember I was so hyped as a child when I found it in a store and my grandma bought it. Later when I opened i was "a little" pissed off by seeing that there wasn't any fusion in that deck 😅
You guys make me feel like a kid again. I remember looking at pictures of the first Elemental Heros in a magazine right before this deck came out. I then played Hero-decks for 3-4 years afterwards. They were my favorites right behind Blue-Eyes White Dragon. The nostalgia hits haaaaard. Thank you!
You know what's kind of surprising to me? One of the key things about Elemental Heroes is that there are so many different combinations of them that you can fuse to summon fusion monsters, yet they didn't include any fusion monsters at all in the Jaden deck!
It would've been fun to add a poly to each deck and some of their OG fusions. Steamroid attacking over Flame Wingman would've been fun, but I understand this was purely the starter decks
After you guys get through all the starter decks I’d like to see the rematches but making them as modern as possible while maintaining that decks theme
For heroes: find a way to dump all the heroes from the deck to the GY and then special summon them to fill the field with links and XYZ For vehicroids: abuse expressroid effect to spam them from the deck and use them for the exact same links and XYZ Because that's how you win in modern yu gi oh.
@@omniscience9631 The former can't really do Xyz plays, and its Link plays are very limited due to the fact that the deck loves to lock into HEROes. Vehicroid can't really abuse Expressroid, because Expressroid is like...their only good monster from the older support, and the later good roids are WIND and thus not searchable
@@kichiroumitsurugi4363 any deck can use XYZ and links. I dont even know why you're saying this. Especially with cards like ice barrier archtypes, i mean you realize that links and xyz can combine with any card right? They are just more op versions of fusion. theres also elemental hero link cards. But none of that matters. Because all you need is to run things like utopia that runs in any level 4 deck. E heroes are lvel 3 and 4 cards so run level 3 and 4 xyz and then run some links. honestly if you're running fusions still you're bad at the game sorry not sorry. you also forgot Jaden didnt only use elemental heroes. theres visions heroes and masked heroes which are stupid op compared to normal elemental heroes. completely gamebreaking and completely unfair. its like its no wonder Jaden won every single duel how could he possibly lose he had the absolute best cards in the entire game. his deck is 150x better than yugi and kaibas its insane to think otherwise. And dont get me started on his 7,500 attack fusion monster that he can bust out literally anytime he wants, Evil Gaia is -omnipotent-.
I remember buying these as a kid. god, the nostalgia!! it was so cool to see roids defeat heroes. I love how these old decks were made. playing the game was different back then. it was genuinely more about fun than competitiveness
No point in using Book of Moon on Bladedge because Alec could just flip Bladedge back to face-up attack position since Bladedge hasn’t attacked, or changed positions yet.
Hey Paul (and the whole APS team!) I'm assuming you read the comments lol. Your APS videos have really gotten me back into yugioh, and I love watching all of these! especially the older cards, I'm an old school player and really appreciate when you guys read each and every card throughout all the games! It's SO NICE to finally find a channel that doesn't leave me in the dust lol! I just wanted you guys to know how much I appreciate you all. What you're doing is so special to someone like me. You will always have my support and I hope you guys can keep this up, It is amazing! - Best wishes, Neos! (yes my nickname in highschool was Neos)
@@EBlade3529 Eh, I'd say any format from Goat onwards was good in their own right, even ignoring nostalgia. Some people like more complex turns where losses come from pivotal moments, some like more simplistic turns that snowball together into wins, etc.
"We'll make a Syrus deck, yeah! When kids want to get a deck themed around a character, their first thought is DEFINITELY 'I want to be the whiny one with no self-esteem!'"
Pure nostalgia here. Played these decks with my kids when they were 10 and 7. Playing that Jaden deck, got me hooked on HEROs to this day.... lol Thanks for trip down memory lane!
Very nostalgic watching this. Lot of cards I faced with a water deck back in middle school-high school. Thanks for bringing back some good memories. So many times BladeEdge got me messed up lol.
I knew exactly nothing about GX before watching this video, but I fully expected the forty-first card in each Starter to be an Extra Deck Monster. Color me surprised.
Targeting Rush on Archfiend and Book of Moon On Blade would’ve kept Paul living in the second duel but misplays happen. It’s good to see GX getting some recognition again, great video!
Bit late but blade edge could just flip summon and attack anyways. Clayman was the only valid target at the time. With R RIGHTEOUS Justice, Paul sadly had no surprises left.
Alec did an illegal move. Lighting Blade can only be equipped onto a Warrior type monster, but Cybernetic Cyclops is a Beast-Warrior type monster. I’m not trying to call anyone on how the game was played. I’m just saying that Alec made a mistake in the duel. Great content by the way. Keep it up guys🃏👍👍
I remember getting these when i was a kid and expecting to see decks that i saw in the anime and then opening it up and being disappointed that its 80% random cards that have nothing to do with jadan or syrus
Made me remember how lucky i got when getting those decks, as i also bought some boosters along and managed to pull some fusions(rampart blaster, thunder giant, mudballman and 2x steam gyroid)to make up for their disappointing lacking in those.
You can "play" a card and not have any long term strategic plan for its effects..."using" a card, in my opinion takes advantage of more long term effects and chains etc. That's what you're saying?
I've been absolutely loving your videos - have been binge watching ever since I found your channel. This duel was so hype and I hope to soon see the fusion version of Jaden's structure deck (if there is one haha). I dont know if you take content requests but I'd LOVE to see you two, or any of the other Team APS members, duel your tournament decks (if your still do tournaments) or the current decks you are duelling competitively at the moment. Regardless, love the content and thank you for getting me back into YuGiOh again :)
there was slight error that wasn't caught at 27:04 submarineroid get switch to defense when attacks directly so when it was Alec turn that attack to submarineriod should of been no battle damage because it should of been in defense mode leaving Paul with 3900 life points at then end of duel Alec did 2900 damage Paul would of been left with 1000 life point but probably would of still lost anyway
I just happened to stumble upon your channel by random and now I am hooked on your duels! I have been away from Yugioh for a couple of years now and I'm kinda confused to how the game is played today as there has been a lot of changes. I hope that I'll be able to find some places in my town where I can play against others and learn how to become better at this once more. I'll look forward to seeing more content from you guys! Keep up the good job :D
Small suggestion for you ballers, maybe switch the camera's pov between each duelist during the sets? I say that because subconsciously I find myself rooting for whichever deck the camera is on, sort of like it was my own side. Love these structure/starter duels keep the content coming guys :)
This is so crazy to me. I had already been done with playing yugioh by the time gx came so it’s weird to me that Jaden and Cyrus starter decks didn’t come with any fusions. Like Jaden getting Necroshade instead of Flamed Wingman or Thunder Giant is kind of blowing my mind.
Paul is just too chill to play with, I would love to play just one duel against him, and smoke one before, and let Alec be our comentator. Dream come true! stay frosty and keep making entertaining videos
Best part of this: These duels were so much more interesting that normal competitive format. This is the way Yugioh was meant to be played. Not 25 actions per turn, 3 turn duels.
really cool video, i watched it yesterday, went to sleep and while trying to fall asleep i just thought of this video. So cool to see a duel like this i never watched one and also nice effects that ubring the card in the screen that is being laid on the mat! Well done
Really enjoying these videos! I haven't even played YuGiOh since I was younger but these are so damn entertaining I've been watching nonstop for a couple weeks now. Nothing more to say, just trying to engage for the algorithm. Keep it up!
Hey guys. 27:00, Submarineroid goes in defence mode after attacking which was used in previous battles, but somehow forgotten in this current situation. That mishap costs Paul 1000 LP and a monster less than a minute and a half later ( 28:25 ). Just sayin' :D Also both decks lack a lot of cards. Polymerization was a thing for both characters and they had substantially different spell cards even at the beginning of GX. Sucks it was done like that.
As much fun summoning 20 times in one turn is… y’all can’t deny the fact that this duel was way more fun than play the guy at locals that gets a power trip bringing out their link 6 their first turn 😂 awesome video guys

@@Jrpg_guy yeah wht he meant was that is technically a misplay and not them doing an illegal move
4:20 - You have been blessed by Jerry Beans Man today.
Finally my boy Syrus got some consideration!
Nah! My boy Syrus Truesdale either? Got held back a dorm or was kicked out of Duel Academy.
Pure nostalgia here. Played these decks with my kids when they were 10 and 7. Playing that Jaden deck, got me hooked on HEROs to this day.... lol Thanks for trip down memory lane!
that second duel had to be an intentional loss. if he would've used book of moon on blade edge, he would've had an extra turn.
He could've just flipped blade edge back up
Very nostalgic watching this. Lot of cards I faced with a water deck back in middle school-high school.
Thanks for bringing back some good memories.
So many times BladeEdge got me messed up lol.
Wait, there's no fusion or extra deck? What the hell?
I knew exactly nothing about GX before watching this video, but I fully expected the forty-first card in each Starter to be an Extra Deck Monster. Color me surprised.
Crazy to see the GX debut starter decks have zero fusions in the generation all about fusions
Love these duels, been bingeing them all ever since I've gotten back in
Nice hair cut Alec, love the OG starter deck videos. I was also thrown off by the lack of fusion monsters in these decks.
I just got back into yigioh a bit from the ps4 game and damn…i love this channel. Would be so cool to meet you guys and duel.
Targeting Rush on Archfiend and Book of Moon On Blade would’ve kept Paul living in the second duel but misplays happen. It’s good to see GX getting some recognition again, great video!
Bit late but blade edge could just flip summon and attack anyways. Clayman was the only valid target at the time. With R RIGHTEOUS Justice, Paul sadly had no surprises left.
26:35 someone share this with Rank10 please. He'll appreciate the combo he talked about 5 years ago lol
Alec did an illegal move.
Lighting Blade can only be equipped onto a Warrior type monster, but Cybernetic Cyclops is a Beast-Warrior type monster. I’m not trying to call anyone on how the game was played. I’m just saying that Alec made a mistake in the duel.
Great content by the way. Keep it up guys🃏👍👍
Dude when i got these as a kid i was so disappointed that they weren't a literal copy of their decks
While that is unreasonable, they don't even try to stay on-theme. Why do both of these decks have garbage poison mummy?
I remember getting these when i was a kid and expecting to see decks that i saw in the anime and then opening it up and being disappointed that its 80% random cards that have nothing to do with jadan or syrus
The are apart of my favorite vids on RUclips, soo cool soo much nostalgia, and you two have a great attitudes towards the game! Much respect
Made me remember how lucky i got when getting those decks, as i also bought some boosters along and managed to pull some fusions(rampart blaster, thunder giant, mudballman and 2x steam gyroid)to make up for their disappointing lacking in those.
I love these type of videos. You should do another "tournament ready" deck off eBay or Amazon.
Those are my faves!!!
17:18 that flip was impressive.
Actually XYZ Symphony sorta had the card window it was basically a Yuma a starter deck.
Yes! Give gx as much love as possible. It's probably my favourite era so I love seeing it!
Be sure to remember; There's a difference between "playing" a card, and "using" a card
Because that makes sense?
You can "play" a card and not have any long term strategic plan for its effects..."using" a card, in my opinion takes advantage of more long term effects and chains etc. That's what you're saying?
Syrus' theme is so cool! I love machine decks, and his character is so great!
I really enjoy watching these structures casual duels. It’s like having a time machine channeled directly to my childhood :)
I've been absolutely loving your videos - have been binge watching ever since I found your channel. This duel was so hype and I hope to soon see the fusion version of Jaden's structure deck (if there is one haha). I dont know if you take content requests but I'd LOVE to see you two, or any of the other Team APS members, duel your tournament decks (if your still do tournaments) or the current decks you are duelling competitively at the moment. Regardless, love the content and thank you for getting me back into YuGiOh again :)
there was slight error that wasn't caught at 27:04 submarineroid get switch to defense when attacks directly so when it was Alec turn that attack to submarineriod should of been no battle damage because it should of been in defense mode leaving Paul with 3900 life points at then end of duel Alec did 2900 damage Paul would of been left with 1000 life point but probably would of still lost anyway
I just happened to stumble upon your channel by random and now I am hooked on your duels! I have been away from Yugioh for a couple of years now and I'm kinda confused to how the game is played today as there has been a lot of changes. I hope that I'll be able to find some places in my town where I can play against others and learn how to become better at this once more. I'll look forward to seeing more content from you guys! Keep up the good job :D
Love u guys.
Small suggestion for you ballers, maybe switch the camera's pov between each duelist during the sets? I say that because subconsciously I find myself rooting for whichever deck the camera is on, sort of like it was my own side. Love these structure/starter duels keep the content coming guys :)
20:06 why didnt he book of moon the bladedge?
"I've got a new 'roid' for you"
*Me hoping it's not 'hemor'*
I thought the card hemor-oid was in that deck
This brings me back! Awesome stuff! Thank you for the nostalgia!
This is so crazy to me. I had already been done with playing yugioh by the time gx came so it’s weird to me that Jaden and Cyrus starter decks didn’t come with any fusions. Like Jaden getting Necroshade instead of Flamed Wingman or Thunder Giant is kind of blowing my mind.
To buy more decks means.... more money for them
You forgot to switch Submarineroid to defense position! I think it's a mandatory effect if he attacks too!
Im early and dont know what to say so... stay hydrated ig
Thanks for the reminder, I will grab a drink of water now
Paul is just too chill to play with, I would love to play just one duel against him, and smoke one before, and let Alec be our comentator. Dream come true!
stay frosty and keep making entertaining videos
This is how Yu-Gi-Oh should be. Now it is like, 'draw for turn. GG.'
Love this series guys!! Keep up the good work! You make these duels so entertaining!!
Best part of this: These duels were so much more interesting that normal competitive format.
This is the way Yugioh was meant to be played. Not 25 actions per turn, 3 turn duels.
I love Alecs laugh. So hearty and happy xD
Wanna duel?
It was really fun! Thanks guys! :D
why does alex keep saying that brain control is banned when its not
It was banned for a few years, before it was eventually errated. If you check newer printings of BC, it’s not as powerful as older printings.
I really love this video. Make it 100 more times and I would watch 🥰
what life point app do you use
What camera did you use to record this overhead shot! Looks clean!
MISPLAY ALERT! You didn't change submarineroid to def after you attacked so you didn't lose 1000 points in that attack at 28:30!
really cool video, i watched it yesterday, went to sleep and while trying to fall asleep i just thought of this video. So cool to see a duel like this i never watched one and also nice effects that ubring the card in the screen that is being laid on the mat! Well done
Just looked up how much these Starter Decks cost and....WOW. We sure do appreciate what y'all are willing to do for the content.
Really enjoying these videos! I haven't even played YuGiOh since I was younger but these are so damn entertaining I've been watching nonstop for a couple weeks now. Nothing more to say, just trying to engage for the algorithm. Keep it up!
Love the structure/starter decks duels!
Hey guys. 27:00, Submarineroid goes in defence mode after attacking which was used in previous battles, but somehow forgotten in this current situation. That mishap costs Paul 1000 LP and a monster less than a minute and a half later ( 28:25 ). Just sayin' :D Also both decks lack a lot of cards. Polymerization was a thing for both characters and they had substantially different spell cards even at the beginning of GX. Sucks it was done like that.
I love this, brings back memories of my early playing days
As much fun summoning 20 times in one turn is… y’all can’t deny the fact that this duel was way more fun than play the guy at locals that gets a power trip bringing out their link 6 their first turn 😂 awesome video guys
