Hope you guys all enjoyed the video! Don't worry, we'll be tackling some new challenges and theme duels very soon! 👀 *More Yu-Gi-Oh Starter & Structure Deck Duels* ▸ ruclips.net/video/3HiCwlgD8xk/видео.html
I’d love to see some Egyptian god deck battles. I’ve only recently found this channel & I’m thoroughly enjoying the structure deck battles, especially the classic ones. Great content guys, thanks.
I think it would be interesting to see how the characters would build their decks with the current TCG card pool, I have many of my own opinions but I’d like to see your take and how’d they play out against each other
@@Wolfmanstudios89 Right, that's why I just build casual fun decks on Duelingnexus and play against the bot, because everybody online only cares ab meta
Same I love old school yugioh and I think I love the anime so much because all these powerful cards were just rare so their weren’t like 5 3000 atk monsters with the ability to negate all effects per deck it was just 1-3 powerful cards per deck and that made it interesting(also the simpler monsters look cooler to me)
Joey's structure deck is the best out of all these starter decks. Even when me and my friends do this kind of duels back in 2005, the Joey deck has the best win rate. And playing structure decks is always fun. I'd rather do these than wait for my opponent to set up board for 10 minutes, while the only card i can ever play effectively in the entire match is ash blossom.
First of all actually appreciate the guidelines, keep the yugioh community as friendly as possible. Hi everyone. Anyway though been loving these nostalgia videos, I did just want to say though the audio in this vid is a bit quiet compared to the music playing, doesn't make it unwatchable by any stretch it's just a teeny bit annoying. Either way though awesome vid & great duel.
I would like to see you guys make a "Starter Deck" of This ERA, 40 Cards, At Least 12 Normal Monsters, 8 Effect monsters, 10 Spells, 10 Traps, can have 2 Fusion monsters. Note: We could do a community event with it.
The thing is normal monsters are bit too slow nowadays Then i suggest these archetypes that have normal monsters in them like World Chalice and World legacy, Tenyi, Suships and sunavalon.
Could choose a cut off point and say, modify the starter decks with cards from LOB and MRD for example. Would be fun to keep the same deck and move to the next cut off point for another duel and so on - to watch the evolution of both decks.
@@mohdhafiz9955 what are you talking about? OTK's were easy af in that time, exodia with all the busted draw power, DM staples making up 80% of the deck. Objectivly one of the worst eras to play the game
Yea, at that point in a duel, I throw caution to the wind and just go for broke. If it works, hey, that's great. Whatever comes out next is probably gonna be smaller than a red eyes. If it doesn't work because of reinforcements or something, at least you went down swinging.
I learned an interesting fact teaching one of my friends to play yugioh. Apparently because I had Lord of D on the field she could use Flute of Summoning Dragon, because Flute’s text doesn’t say “YOUR” of the field it just says Lord of D has to be on the field. Was not happy she summoned Blue-Eyes on me
I dont think i can ever get enough of the starter decks videos, theyre soo well made and its kinda refreshing not seeing the decks being super strong???? I dont know there is some kinda of charm in less combo heavy decks
Maybe I’m just old but the old school yugioh to me is more entertaining, no 5 minute turns shuffling 6 times and going through half the deck and negating every move
Joey was a true underdog. I remember Yugi having a card based on him during the Grand Championship arc. I believe that card was "Heart Of The Underdog".
Unlike Kaiba or Yugi, Joey didnt have the money to get the strongest cards (like Seto who carried them around in his briefcase) nor was he an ancient pharaoh with magical items (like yugi). Just his ability, friends and some luck at the right time. And he still ranked high among the top duelists of the world.
@@fangzntalonz for what he had as a deck he was pretty good. Unlike Yugi (who had a very strong deck thanks to his grandap owning a card shop) and Kaiba (who bought the best cards of the world) Joey deck was not as theme focused as the one of Kaiba or Yugi and he relied heavily on any card he could get his hands on (unlike yugi who only took the three god cards because they were important for his mission on earth and the red eyes that he kept for sentimental reasons, yugi never used any of the card he won during battle city while Joey relied heavily on some of them, like jinzo and great moth, and he even got the red eyes by beating rex in the duelist kingdom arc).
Had a slight issue with the audio balancing of your voices in some spots, you got really muffled and the music overpowered what you were saying. Otherwise though, awesome duel! Keep these classic structure deck matches coming cause they are so much fun!
I was wondering why Paul didn't crash Red-Eyes into Thousand Dragon at the end. Reinforcements to save it makes sense. It's wild how much of a quality improvment the Joey/Pegasus decks were though. I'm curious how the Evolution Yugi and Kaiba decks would fair against Joey and Pegasus decks now.
Keep the classic duels coming boys! Not many channel can produce this type of content anymore! Especially with OG duels! Makes my night better when I can lay down in the quite peace watching a friendly duel.
After seeing the prices for starter decks in 2024 i cried seeing these be opened. I bought these back in the day for 13 bucks. Its bs how overinflated they are. You guys are definitely my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh players
i wanna see a 4 way duel between all 4 of these starter decks not a tag team duel a every man for him self yugi vs kaiba vs joey vs pegasus last man standing i think that would really cool to watch
At first I joked to myself and said "wait, Paul had the Kaiba Starter Deck as a kid, that gives him an advantage!" but Alec was able to pull out the W at the end, proving the supremacy of Red-Eyes Black Dragon, my personal favorite starter deck card!
After this series is done and you guys get the other official character structure decks dueled with it'd be super cool to see duel monster character deck matchups like this where it's not just a ton of modern support shoved into an old archetype. It'd tickle everyone's nostalgia while not also causing agony to the modern TCG player trying to figure out what the hell is going on in the anime card game rules
I don't play Yu-Gi-Oh, and haven't since the beginning. But I enjoy watching y'all's videos. Especially when Alec explains what the card does. The overlay of the card is super nice, but I don't always have time to pause the video to read the card, so the explination is super nice (:
Here's an idea. Get three copies of the same deck, build a deck with all other cards going into the sidedeck, have a round robin tournament with the four OG starter decks.
On the second game, I was wishing you'd summon time wizard, activate his effect to destroy your opponents monsters, fusion summon thousand dragon and end the game. Would have been the perfect anime ending to a duel.
I think it would be interesting to see a only normal monsters match or a special summons disabled match (multiple effect cards that include special summons can resolve other effects but cards that have special summons as a cost or a trigger will not activate)
Im a new subscriber as of like 2 weeks ago and have been binging your videos. Great stuff -especially the nostalgia duels like these and the speed duel box tournaments are my favorites
Just found this channel and man, I love this so much. I can tell you guys are having fun and love the game, the ambient music, the nostalgia. Thank you for making these videos 🙏
I would really like to see a video of you guys dueling using your actual current main decks, im sure you probably do that offscreen but still would be fun to watch. Also ive been playing the D/D/D deck and its super fun, would like to see a video on that as well.
I love that you have lighting behind you for the duelist you are playing as! Blue and green for Kaiba and Joey! You even used red and pink for Yugi and Pegasus! Great work Team APS!
Volume on the music (which I do like) was too high, while sometimes I couldn't hear what y'all were saying, the convo and back and forth between you guys as you duel is one of the best elements of these vids, I still liked the video though and can't wait for the next episode!
Feels weird to see the old structure decks. Back then it was simply “Monster card, one effect, maybe a spell or trap.” Nowadays it’s at least 20 different monster effects, 10 monsters played in one turn, and the turn lasts for at least a whole episode of Yugioh.
I haven't seen the video yet but I'm predicting that SDJ (starter deck Joey) is going to win. SDJ has not only a vanilla beater in harpie's brother that matches SDK (starter deck kaiba) La jinn the mystical genie of the lamp, but SDJ also has options that far surpass what is available to SDK. Options like karate man, Maha vailo with equipping, and more trap options. It's down to when each was released : SDK only has some LOB pool and some exclusive options While SDJ has some LOB, MRD, MRL, PSV, and slight LON, plus exclusives for options. Comes to a bit of luck and who is piloting the deck ultimately.
I didn't even mention/remember that SDJ has gearfried, so another level 4 1800 attack beater. Also penguin soldier, which is a crazy good card for tempo. Landing hits with white magical hat is devestating for SDK. SDJ has sangan, which can fetch penguin soldier or karate man as examples of how SDJ can more reliably answer nearly anything that SDK throws at it. I seen the video now, and I'm only surprised that SDK got lucky in game 2, because SDJ was caught in a weird spot where the options available were the wrong ones for the circumstances. It was a bit of a slaughter though. For SDK vs SDP, expect SDP to rip it apart.
It feels wierd that white magical hat is in the Joey starter deck and rouge doll is in the kiaba starter deck because those charecters were pined against those cards
Really fun to see all these starter deck mashups! For the next video: Maybe lower the sound of the backround music a little? Were a few times were it was hard to make out what you guys were saying sadly
I'd love to see you revisit other structure decks or create more themed deck duels. I always love watching duel like this, especially the editing is high quality! :)
love this series, wish the music was a tad quieter though. I'm watching on my desktop and I have a stereo speaker/sub setup and the music really overpowers your voices quite a bit. But either way, sick entertaining vid! :D
Hey guys! Love these duels, been watching for damn near a year at this point, would LOVE to see a “Dino vs Hero’s” or a “Dinos vs Cyber dragons” video! Or you could even do the dinosmasher structure deck vs the cyber dark structure deck battle!
god i remember judge man for the sole reason that a kid i played with thought he was indestructible due to flavor text, and we had a half hour argument over it till his older brother told him otherwise. good times
Hey guys I would love to see a combo of all the starter decks ( combine all 4 decks best cards) vs Yugi & kiba structure deck I feel the best of the past could really hold its own with the slightly newer strategy of structure deck
I liked the extra gusto y'all put into it when declaring attacks and summoning XD There were times where I couldn't hear what was being said because it sounds like they whispering or rather talking in a low voice. "I SUMMON RED EYES BLACK DRAGON fisifhfbdkfnfjdjingding" like that I think it would be cool if you did a small analysis of those decks and talked about their strengths and weaknesses and why the Kaiba deck lost so much. Overall it was pretty cool to see old decks being reused and appreciating the early version of the game. I wanted to know what to early starter decks would look like vs eachother
Great old school duels. I loved how both red eyes and blue eyes got to shine. From what I remember, the first 4 started decks Joey's was Def the strongest.
I like the older upper deck printed cards more than the modern cards/frames. It's weird because they slightly increased the frame for bit bigger art, which sounds good on paper, but I still think the old cards look and feel superior to the modern ones. Even subtle things like the title box around the name is now sharper and feels too modernized as opposed to how the old game had almost an an ancient quality about it, beyond just the themes of art.
@@alejandromisaeldiazlira3669 except all text frames are the same size as the original prints, just the art box frame is about 1.5 to 2 percent bigger. When they wish to cram more text in, they make the font smaller instead, this goes for both names of a card and the text box of a card. Relinquished was the first card to really push the text amount a few levels up, followed by thousand eyes restrict. Relinquished would have been less of an issue if there was some type of word used like an evergreen mechanic to condense all the ritual summoning stipulations. I wouldn't suggest doing that for too many mechanics, but rituals would greatly benefit from the treatment in my opinion.
Back in the day where Lv 4 with 1800 - 1900 ATK or 2000 DEF is a good strategy to flood the board for tribute summon material... Game is very chill back then.. Now I need to set up Chixiao, Baronn, and Draco Tenyi with handtrap (Ash, PSY Gamma) to hold my board while setting Cross Out, Imperm, or Called By Grave to hold my board
Great video. Love seeing these duels. The audio mixing is definitely a little off in this one though. Music's a bit loud compared to your voices, or maybe you guys were talking quietly and the mics didn't pick it up?
Can't believe how strong that Joey Deck was. Even beats Kaiba pretty well. It had so many defensive skills which made it a pretty resistant. Kaiba only has aggressive skills but struggles on the defensive part.
Wish we had more starter decks back in the day. Bakura deck May deck Bandit keith deck Rex and weevil should've been a thing but atleast we have them in speed duel, back then would've been way better.
Funny thing about old Yugioh. You remember the monster interaction and ignore the constant set & pass or sitting on an ace monster plays. The ability to search out Blue Eyes stuff toxks me off but there is no denying Paul would have done less set & pass if he could have searchdd for Flute or a way to bring out his ace. In some ways all those annoying little extenders and tutors for things help make the game more interactive...intheory any way xD
You guys could actually create some orica cards and get them printed, make duels and upload them. Like Anime Z-One - Timelord vs Anime Bakura - Destiny Board or smth like that. Or make boss duels. Would be fun to watch i think
Joey: Doing okay there Kaiba? You aint sick are ya? Normally you have all the good plays: What's the matter - losing to Yug too much for ya? Kaiba: Me sick? Ain't you the one stuffing your face with Pizza all the time? Joey: Yeah well at least I have better taste than your choice of monsters. Kaiba: What's that supposed to mean? Joey: That you're weak. Kaiba: Ooooh daring today aren't we? Joey: Grrrr...

Would like to watch some tag duels with these classic starter decks.
I’d love to see some Egyptian god deck battles. I’ve only recently found this channel & I’m thoroughly enjoying the structure deck battles, especially the classic ones. Great content guys, thanks.
Using 3x deck cards so you could try the starter decks at their best
Reprint cards for additional copies
I think it would be interesting to see how the characters would build their decks with the current TCG card pool, I have many of my own opinions but I’d like to see your take and how’d they play out against each other
What life point calculator app are y'all using?!!!
I really prefer these old school duels where I can actually follow the duels rather than getting lost in the sea of thousands of effects going on
Bro I 100% agree. This new style of dueling sucks cause everyone always goes for the otk. Like bro chill let’s have fun
@@Wolfmanstudios89 Right, that's why I just build casual fun decks on Duelingnexus and play against the bot, because everybody online only cares ab meta
u guys should try the new digimon tcg its fun and way more simpler
Same I love old school yugioh and I think I love the anime so much because all these powerful cards were just rare so their weren’t like 5 3000 atk monsters with the ability to negate all effects per deck it was just 1-3 powerful cards per deck and that made it interesting(also the simpler monsters look cooler to me)
Also the effects aren’t crazy broken

That smirk on Alecs face when he realises how much damage his Penguin Soldier will do now. 😄
The way his eyes widen in shock followed by the smirk is perfect

Damn
@@metalmario1231 that is me, yes
Sorry about that! In hindsight, this was a real issue and we'll try to make sure it doesn't happen again.
@@TeamAPS hey no real complaints here, was just bringing it to attention. Still enjoy the dueling content.
@@damn_wanted haha do you go round looking people commenting this 😅😅😅
I would like to see you guys make a "Starter Deck" of This ERA, 40 Cards, At Least 12 Normal Monsters, 8 Effect monsters, 10 Spells, 10 Traps, can have 2 Fusion monsters. Note: We could do a community event with it.
That would be pretty fun. Would really force some creative play since some decks don't even use many monsters let alone normals these days.
Cool idea 💡
The thing is normal monsters are bit too slow nowadays
Then i suggest these archetypes that have normal monsters in them like World Chalice and World legacy, Tenyi, Suships and sunavalon.
Could choose a cut off point and say, modify the starter decks with cards from LOB and MRD for example. Would be fun to keep the same deck and move to the next cut off point for another duel and so on - to watch the evolution of both decks.
Do it! Weevil Underwood Starter Deck, Mai, Rex, Bandit Keith, Bakura etc
These starter decks are getting me the nostalgia feels
I just got back into the hobby and man… back down memory lane😢
When the one turn win doesn't exist yet, everyone had fun even if they are losing, even exodia are hard to collect all five
@@mohdhafiz9955 what are you talking about? OTK's were easy af in that time, exodia with all the busted draw power, DM staples making up 80% of the deck. Objectivly one of the worst eras to play the game
Facts
@@ich3730 they only play playground rules lol
The WATER vs FIRE themed duel was an absolute blast so I'd say EARTH vs WIND and LIGHT vs DARK would be amazing to see
I about died when he didn't crash that red eyes into the thousand dragon. I knew it would come back to bite him, lol
same. i was wondering if one of his facedowns was reinforcements of the army. what a misplay. enjoyed the duel nonetheless.
Yea, at that point in a duel, I throw caution to the wind and just go for broke. If it works, hey, that's great. Whatever comes out next is probably gonna be smaller than a red eyes. If it doesn't work because of reinforcements or something, at least you went down swinging.
Same here!
“You’re a third rate duelist with a fourth rate deck”
“And Joey has literally seen Kaiba kidnap someone”
Can’t beat that, Kaiba
I learned an interesting fact teaching one of my friends to play yugioh. Apparently because I had Lord of D on the field she could use Flute of Summoning Dragon, because Flute’s text doesn’t say “YOUR” of the field it just says Lord of D has to be on the field. Was not happy she summoned Blue-Eyes on me
I dont think i can ever get enough of the starter decks videos, theyre soo well made and its kinda refreshing not seeing the decks being super strong???? I dont know there is some kinda of charm in less combo heavy decks
Maybe I’m just old but the old school yugioh to me is more entertaining, no 5 minute turns shuffling 6 times and going through half the deck and negating every move
Joey finally stands up to Kaiba and doesnt let him bully the shit out of him lmao
Keep it family friendly bro no need for insolent language
kinda easy if your starter deck comes out after your opponents so its powercreeped to hell xD
I think this should have happened in the anime in the which Joey finally defeats Kaiba in their second match
Joey was a true underdog. I remember Yugi having a card based on him during the Grand Championship arc. I believe that card was "Heart Of The Underdog".
Unlike Kaiba or Yugi, Joey didnt have the money to get the strongest cards (like Seto who carried them around in his briefcase) nor was he an ancient pharaoh with magical items (like yugi). Just his ability, friends and some luck at the right time. And he still ranked high among the top duelists of the world.
@@rampant9358 according to Kazuki Takahashi, Joey is actually the best duelist of the three.
@@rampant9358 Yes he was. Joey even stood up to Marik for Mai

@@rampant9358 Joey is the best character and duelist to exist
I'd honestly love it if they released updated versions of the Pegasus and Joey decks like they did for Yugi and Kaiba, like 3-4 times now lol
After all these years .. I agree
Man, I really miss old school Yu-Gi-Oh! I love watching these classic duels!!
Dude it was so awesome
Thank you guys. These classic decks take me back to such simpler times with my friends.
Had a slight issue with the audio balancing of your voices in some spots, you got really muffled and the music overpowered what you were saying. Otherwise though, awesome duel! Keep these classic structure deck matches coming cause they are so much fun!
You can just see the power ramp between the 2 starter deck waves. Its pretty wild.
That Penguin soldier was super unexpected . Paul's face said it all lol
There's some foreshadowing when Alec smirks when judge man gets summoned
You guys reminded me the greatness that was yu-gi-oh and got me buying cards from back in the day
yeb i really want a 1st edition deck!
Joey lowkey may have had the best starter deck out of the original 4
His was so OP lol
Really enjoy watching these classic decks vs eachother. Good job boys
I was wondering why Paul didn't crash Red-Eyes into Thousand Dragon at the end. Reinforcements to save it makes sense. It's wild how much of a quality improvment the Joey/Pegasus decks were though. I'm curious how the Evolution Yugi and Kaiba decks would fair against Joey and Pegasus decks now.
Keep the classic duels coming boys! Not many channel can produce this type of content anymore! Especially with OG duels! Makes my night better when I can lay down in the quite peace watching a friendly duel.
can’t wait for the tag duel using those four decks
After seeing the prices for starter decks in 2024 i cried seeing these be opened. I bought these back in the day for 13 bucks. Its bs how overinflated they are. You guys are definitely my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh players
Starter Deck Kaiba 1st Edition goes for over $6,000 on eBay! 😱😱😱
Love the extra detail of letting the first person draw
The energy Alec brought in the first battle 😭🐐 thought it was going to be tuff after rolling double 1’s lol
You knew it was over when that big eye effect showed 4 of the 5 best cards in his deck.
Love that you guys edit the lighting to match the started deck color! Small detail but goes to show the thought you put into your videos. Keep it up!
i wanna see a 4 way duel between all 4 of these starter decks not a tag team duel a every man for him self yugi vs kaiba vs joey vs pegasus last man standing i think that would really cool to watch
Where do you get the Pegasus starter deck? I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find it. It’ll make my life.
At first I joked to myself and said "wait, Paul had the Kaiba Starter Deck as a kid, that gives him an advantage!" but Alec was able to pull out the W at the end, proving the supremacy of Red-Eyes Black Dragon, my personal favorite starter deck card!
Mine too! Red Eyes Black Chick is also a favorite as well.
After this series is done and you guys get the other official character structure decks dueled with it'd be super cool to see duel monster character deck matchups like this where it's not just a ton of modern support shoved into an old archetype.

But I enjoy watching y'all's videos. Especially when Alec explains what the card does. The overlay of the card is super nice, but I don't always have time to pause the video to read the card, so the explination is super nice (:
19:31
that was some epic white lightning there 🤣🤣🤣
I'm surprised how quickly power creep came in just from the Yugi/Kaiba decks to Joey/Pegasus
Please do a demonstration with the rush duel starter decks as well, been wanting to see what a live match would look like!
Here's an idea. Get three copies of the same deck, build a deck with all other cards going into the sidedeck, have a round robin tournament with the four OG starter decks.
If only we could afford to do that! 😅
I once met Jason David Frank (Tommy from power rangers),he autographed my flute of summoning dragon. Also met judge Judy who autographed my judgeman
On the second game, I was wishing you'd summon time wizard, activate his effect to destroy your opponents monsters, fusion summon thousand dragon and end the game. Would have been the perfect anime ending to a duel.
Losing to swordsman of lanstar is the worst feeling you can have.
I loved when i used to play this with my friends on weekends, eat pizza and play video games all night! Good memories and the best childhood!
i'm newer to the channel, but i love what is going on here. this is right in the nostalgia. i wish i never lost these decks while i was moving.
Unless I am mistaken. All that’s left is champion vs creator and best of friends best of duelists
9:40 I thought he had Sword & Shield when he got happy knowing that Destroyer Golem defense was reduced, haha.
Alec's anime level was top tier today. That thumb to nose near the end with the Fissure line. Mwuah chef's kiss.
Please keep up the great full time content guys been a viewer for years thanks for the entertainment
Need to fix the voice volume was too low compared to background music
I think it would be interesting to see a only normal monsters match or a special summons disabled match (multiple effect cards that include special summons can resolve other effects but cards that have special summons as a cost or a trigger will not activate)
Im a new subscriber as of like 2 weeks ago and have been binging your videos. Great stuff -especially the nostalgia duels like these and the speed duel box tournaments are my favorites
My advice: watch "Larry in the Hole" playlist.
Just found this channel and man, I love this so much. I can tell you guys are having fun and love the game, the ambient music, the nostalgia. Thank you for making these videos 🙏

Appreciate the Master Duel music. But the volume was a bit loud so your voices were tough to make out at times.
I love that you have lighting behind you for the duelist you are playing as! Blue and green for Kaiba and Joey! You even used red and pink for Yugi and Pegasus! Great work Team APS!

If Joey rlly used change of heart on Kaiba Blue Eyes he would lose his shit lmaooo
Brings back some memories! Thanks guys!

The starter deck duels are pumper. Love to see em
Fan of the old dueling. Up to 5ds atleast. Great vids. Where do you find these decks?
Ebay or Amazon

It's down to when each was released :

Definitely need to see that Joey vs. Yugi and Seto vs. Pegasus duel now. Perhaps a mash up of Yugi & Seto with classic & Evolution decks?
At some points, Kaiba's deck looks so weak, that it cannot stand against totally nothing.
I love seeing maha vailo being played! My first deck as a kid was maha vailo and a bunch of random equips from cracking packs back in 1st grade
Alec's anime-esque energy really makes these duels fun to watch.
Hey guys I would love to see a combo of all the starter decks ( combine all 4 decks best cards) vs Yugi & kiba structure deck I feel the best of the past could really hold its own with the slightly newer strategy of structure deck
5:11 - "Ohhh, the hologram, it hurts".
"3rd rate duelist with a 4th rate deck" lolololol thank you for that quote!
old school is way better
I totally agree
I miss the old days 😓
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better bros. I really miss it.😊
I miss basic monsters and having effect monsters (with ONE effect) was a rare thing
It's okay grandpa, we can play some Goat Format at the card shop this weekend.
@@impetuousharp20 don’t care Israel won
The problem is the Joey deck came out a set or two later than the Kaiba one, so it actually had useful cards where Kaiba had nothing.
Man, this takes me back! Haha. So much fun to watch
Let's go!!!! I love these types of duels. There nice and they take a long time witch is nice. And turn based duels are always the best.
Exactly, way better than the solitaire that is a lot of the modern version.

I liked the extra gusto y'all put into it when declaring attacks and summoning XD
There were times where I couldn't hear what was being said because it sounds like they whispering or rather talking in a low voice. "I SUMMON RED EYES BLACK DRAGON fisifhfbdkfnfjdjingding" like that
I think it would be cool if you did a small analysis of those decks and talked about their strengths and weaknesses and why the Kaiba deck lost so much.
Overall it was pretty cool to see old decks being reused and appreciating the early version of the game.
I wanted to know what to early starter decks would look like vs eachother
Great old school duels. I loved how both red eyes and blue eyes got to shine. From what I remember, the first 4 started decks Joey's was Def the strongest.
I like the older upper deck printed cards more than the modern cards/frames.
It's weird because they slightly increased the frame for bit bigger art, which sounds good on paper, but I still think the old cards look and feel superior to the modern ones.
Even subtle things like the title box around the name is now sharper and feels too modernized as opposed to how the old game had almost an an ancient quality about it, beyond just the themes of art.
Good observation!
I believe they knew the game would evolved into super long text effects so the frames would allow long-descripted abusive effects to fit.
@@alejandromisaeldiazlira3669 except all text frames are the same size as the original prints, just the art box frame is about 1.5 to 2 percent bigger.
When they wish to cram more text in, they make the font smaller instead, this goes for both names of a card and the text box of a card.
Relinquished was the first card to really push the text amount a few levels up, followed by thousand eyes restrict. Relinquished would have been less of an issue if there was some type of word used like an evergreen mechanic to condense all the ritual summoning stipulations.
I wouldn't suggest doing that for too many mechanics, but rituals would greatly benefit from the treatment in my opinion.
Yes!! Perfect way to start my Sunday :). Your uploads made me wanna come back to playing Yu-Gi-Oh! On a side note, I hope your date went well :).
Back in the day where Lv 4 with 1800 - 1900 ATK or 2000 DEF is a good strategy to flood the board for tribute summon material... Game is very chill back then.. Now I need to set up Chixiao, Baronn, and Draco Tenyi with handtrap (Ash, PSY Gamma) to hold my board while setting Cross Out, Imperm, or Called By Grave to hold my board
1:13 playing 0.5 speed ; Alec wow is so hilarious 😂
Great video. Love seeing these duels.
The audio mixing is definitely a little off in this one though. Music's a bit loud compared to your voices, or maybe you guys were talking quietly and the mics didn't pick it up?
Can't believe how strong that Joey Deck was. Even beats Kaiba pretty well. It had so many defensive skills which made it a pretty resistant. Kaiba only has aggressive skills but struggles on the defensive part.
Wish we had more starter decks back in the day.
Bakura deck
May deck
Bandit keith deck
Rex and weevil should've been a thing but atleast we have them in speed duel, back then would've been way better.
I wonder if anybody made a fan set list for those. Sounds like a fun fan project
@@fennecfoxfanatic it's what I'm doing with my little brother 😅 duels are way more fun.
Very nostalgic.
I bought all those four starter decks and they were fun to play, as i was fresh in the game back then.
Funny thing about old Yugioh. You remember the monster interaction and ignore the constant set & pass or sitting on an ace monster plays. The ability to search out Blue Eyes stuff toxks me off but there is no denying Paul would have done less set & pass if he could have searchdd for Flute or a way to bring out his ace. In some ways all those annoying little extenders and tutors for things help make the game more interactive...intheory any way xD
I feel like the ~2006-2012 era was at a pretty good spot with regard to searching, building field presence, etc., without it being absurd.
It's pretty fitting that I was playing Duel Links as Kaiba and dueling Joey to farm his cards, while watching this video. xD
Great video! What song is playing in the background at 8:34? It sounds awesome!
You guys could actually create some orica cards and get them printed, make duels and upload them. Like Anime Z-One - Timelord vs Anime Bakura - Destiny Board or smth like that. Or make boss duels. Would be fun to watch i think
First time viewer. Love anything with Joey involved. Great duels
Joey: Doing okay there Kaiba? You aint sick are ya? Normally you have all the good plays: What's the matter - losing to Yug too much for ya?
Kaiba: Me sick? Ain't you the one stuffing your face with Pizza all the time?
Joey: Yeah well at least I have better taste than your choice of monsters.
Kaiba: What's that supposed to mean? Joey: That you're weak. Kaiba: Ooooh daring today aren't we? Joey: Grrrr...
