Hi Team APS. I really want to record live duel's with my girlfriend after watching you guys for so long but I really don't know my way around a camera. Have you guys, or will you if you already haven't, ever go over the the step by step process's of recording these live duel videos?
Alec attacking with Dark Magician the turn it is summoned by Soul Exchange is proof that no matter how old we get or how long we play, we will never read our cards.
It baffles me how common this is. I started playing master duel and am playing with modern yugioh cards for the first time ever and while I don't love it, I do love the Weather archetype and so I made a deck for it. But the amount of times that mfers will attack into my monsters with thundery canvas out or try to wipe my back row with aurora for protection baffles me. Hell, people will still try to activate monster effects while I have skill drain out on the field.
Hey You forgot one thing 🤦♂️ how can you all forget that important thing in a duel, Alec was playing Yugi' s deck ,Yami Yugi's deck and for that he had the right to "Screw the Rules",🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If they were gonna roleplay it Alec should also be able to sub out with another player anytime he wants but who ever isn't playing as Yugi at the time has to stay in the other room. Man now I want to see a game where they just use millennium item gimmicks to duel. I'm not sure if you could really play a game like that but it would be interesting.
@@donovanfaust3227 The only ones I think would work would be the Eye and Puzzle. So you've got one guy who searches his deck every turn instead of drawing, and one guy who always knows what that first guy's hand and face-downs are.
11:53 Reverse Trap does not work for any multiplication or division changes to stats (this includes any halving or doubling). Karate Man “doubles the original attack” of itself. This means Alec should’ve taken 2000 here. 20:54 Dark Magician cannot attack here. Soul Exchange does not permit you to conduct your battle phase the turn you activate it. FUN FACT: For some reason, Soul Exchange being resolved wrong is one of the most common errors that Yugitubers do among old cards. It’s happened numerous times with other channels as well such as Cimo and MBT. This extra 2500 damage Paul shouldn’t have taken would have given him an extra turn, but it’s hard to say if that extra turn would have ultimately mattered.
9:15 The highlight of this game. 😂 " He has 1800ATK points, I used 3 card to make him and I'm happy" Fun fact: Flame Swordsman's sword has a name, it is in fact "Salamandra" A spell-equip card.
I know the game wasn't exactly as "developed" back then as it was now, but I can't imagine what the thought process behind the stats/summon requirements of Flame Swordsman was other than "Fusion Summoning is cool."
I mean seeing as the game is based off of an anime, which was supposed to be cool to kids so they buy the cards, I would say yes that was the only thought process.
Could also be that special summons were not as common and perceived as very strong, maybe? "It's weak, but it's a free summon, that's gotta be strong!" or something
The issue with Flame Swordsman in particular is that it wasn't a fusion monster in the Anime. For whatever reason, Konami just decided to make it one in the TCG.
@@alchemist824 they were overlaying with the original cards just for the nostalgia of dueling them. Wasn’t really giving any advantages if that’s what you’re wondering. :)
"Target 1 monster your opponent controls; this turn, if you Tribute a monster, you must Tribute that target, as if you controlled it. You cannot conduct your Battle Phase the turn you activate this card." So you are correct in soul exchange
@@douglassantana7653 The very first Soul Exchange, back when it was still called Magic cards stated "Select an opponent's monster and use it as a Tribute in place of your own. You must skip your Battle Phase for the turn in which this card is activated." So even with the OG version you couldn't conduct your battle phase.
I loved this duel! Game two was probably my favorite with the slow build up leading up to Atems explosive play with ultimate offering. Leave it to Joey though to make a lucky comeback that never should have worked. Game three had my favorite play though, I usually don’t like negates but it was pretty hype seeing seven tools. Can you do Jaden vs Nightshroud rematch next? (Jaden starter deck vs Dragons Roar)
Love the vids. I've seen others suggest a house tournament of these nostalgic decks and I still want that too, but I would also like to suggest a house draft tournament from the cards in these decks. With everything being a one of and stronger cards clumped into the newer decks, this would balance it a lot and still give us good old big boy beatdown duels with classic cards.
these duels are always very cool and fun to watch, a lot of nostalgia,i have Kaiba and Joey's starter deck,i want to see what Joey vs Pegasus will be like
I only ever played OG Yu-Gi-Oh with cards like these & this is legitimately the first time I've seen someone fusion summon the The Flame Swordsman! Lol 🤣🤣🤣
I think that, since Karate Man's effect states that it's attack doubles, the trap thingy would then change the effect to have it's attack halved instead.
The Slifer/Ra video auto played after this one for me and between that duel and this one Alec has lost a lot of weight and looks fantastic! Keep it up!
Karate man is "doubling" its ATK stat , so the Reverse trap could not effect it, as it reverses additions and substractions, but not divisons and multiplications (include halving and doubling) :D
I love old school yugioh. I love the Joey deck it's very fun to watch and I want to play it so bad. Love the duel So much more interaction with this game. Then I see in mondern days
Trying to create a draft cube /battle box mostly for nostalgia and fair-dueling purposes. Question: How would you tweak the rules for fusions and ritual monsters? Context: in a limited format it would be really cool to see fusions and ritual monsters, however they are so painstaking to get out, especially if you only have one fusion material in your deck. My thought would be to treat both ritual and fusion almost like a ritual monster where you tribute and/or discard monster levels equal to what you are summoning (but without the ritual spell/polymerization) Thoughts?
I think it would be really cool, updating these decks and then playing with them updated. Also, as someone coming from the yugioh anime and haven’t seen why old decks are no longer used, it would be cool for you guys to create like a building deck guide. What used to be accepted, like using traps but now it’s not. I think it would make for some insightful commentary, full of nostgalia and help bring people who don’t play anymore up to speed. What do you think?
you guys made me think of the best idea to respect the maker of yugioh, so I am gonna check all my cards and Remake all 4 original Decks out of respect for them
I am just now building my first ever yugioh deck in the modern card game. I played when yugioh came out that was it. Eldlich golden lord zombie World. Hopefully I can make y’all proud as I learn this complex game
I'd love to see Axel Brodie (Volcanic) vs Mako Tsunami (WATER/Legendary Ocean). Really, just Volcanic against a WATER themed deck, couldn't remember anyone besides good old Mako, and iirc you have those cards for sure.
Could I convince you guys to do decks from a specific era? It'd be cool to see the stuff I used to see every week when I used to play in tournaments. I stopped right at the beginning of 5'Ds. Last card I ever pulled was Goyo Guardian
The thing is Joey, you just activated my joke trap. I'm not going to help your sister, and this prolong conversation was for NOTHING. Go now, run back to your sister; tell her you failed! She's in darkness now, as she will be forever, and it's...all...your...FAULT
I wonder how much these sell for now. I still have my original Joey, Yugi, Kaiba and Pegasus Starter Decks, but I should just collect all the originals before it's too late

Reverse trap does not work on multiplication kartre man only kill himself if he deystoyed
I really enjoy your video where are you located
Reverse trap does work on multiplication or subtraction and you can't attack the turn you use soul exchange
Alec attacking with Dark Magician the turn it is summoned by Soul Exchange is proof that no matter how old we get or how long we play, we will never read our cards.
As soon as he played it I was like “I wonder if he remembered that…then nope.” 😹

@@NovusIgnis People still target Dark Magician when I have Eternal Soul on the field.
I might be wrong, but I swear to God, this is the second time I've seen him do this.
Hey You forgot one thing 🤦♂️ how can you all forget that important thing in a duel, Alec was playing Yugi' s deck ,Yami Yugi's deck and for that he had the right to "Screw the Rules",🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
For lore reasons Alex should be able to make the rules up and roleplay as he goes to make this fair.
Alec* , Alex is a different guy. :p
If they were gonna roleplay it Alec should also be able to sub out with another player anytime he wants but who ever isn't playing as Yugi at the time has to stay in the other room.

Correct.
That duel could have had a turn around if not for the Soul Exchange goof lol
It's funny because these cards are so much more simple than the current cards we use, but they still seem to get the best of us 🤣
It's only fitting with anime decks to use cards wrong.
@@abcdefg98765 truuuuue
I love how Alec got so into characters and then decided to point out how absurd the stakes are for the Joey vs Yugi duel.
Came out swinging before the first standby with straight facts🤣😂
9:15
The highlight of this game. 😂 " He has 1800ATK points, I used 3 card to make him and I'm happy"

I mean seeing as the game is based off of an anime, which was supposed to be cool to kids so they buy the cards, I would say yes that was the only thought process.
I think the thought process was the base monsters were so weak I mean in the OCG very early on hitosume giant was considered a staple
Could also be that special summons were not as common and perceived as very strong, maybe?
"It's weak, but it's a free summon, that's gotta be strong!" or something
The issue with Flame Swordsman in particular is that it wasn't a fusion monster in the Anime. For whatever reason, Konami just decided to make it one in the TCG.
@@vahlen5281 same with Giltia and Karbonala Warrior. Joey's monsters are most good ATK lvl4 warriors that Konami screwed. At least we got Gearfried.
Best friends duel to determine whose problems are worse! Are you team Yugi or team Joey?!
For canon, I'm team Yugi, but I'm team Joey for this video. Also, I'd like to ask why you had two Dark Magicians in an overlay
*Sings* We are closer than brothers...but now we have to fight each other!!!
@@alchemist824 they were overlaying with the original cards just for the nostalgia of dueling them. Wasn’t really giving any advantages if that’s what you’re wondering. :)
@@luiss4002 thanks
Team Joey 👍
20:43 - 20:55
Correct me If i am wrong, but Dark Magician should not be able to attack this turn because he was summoned with Soul Exchange.
"Target 1 monster your opponent controls; this turn, if you Tribute a monster, you must Tribute that target, as if you controlled it. You cannot conduct your Battle Phase the turn you activate this card." So you are correct in soul exchange
Exactly
Was Soul Exchange always like that? Because they could have dueled with a before an errata Soul Exchange (if there ever was one).
@@douglassantana7653 The very first Soul Exchange, back when it was still called Magic cards stated "Select an opponent's monster and use it as a Tribute in place of your own. You must skip your Battle Phase for the turn in which this card is activated."
So even with the OG version you couldn't conduct your battle phase.
@@YokomichiSilver lmfaooo
Can we see a TeamAPS Tournament with these structure decks (Kaiba, Yugi, Joey, Pegasus)?
This please
great idea
that would be amazing
Hell yeah!
Imagine if yugi learned the secrets of the millennium puzzle and learned its powers and just freed his grandpa himself.
Thank you alec for actually saying it I don’t know why Joey thought that was more important lol
Yugi's grandpa lived a great long life already. Serenity is like 13 and facing imminent blindness.
They just took each other’s problems at face value and didn’t play the “I’ve got it worse” Olympics. What a time 😂
I loved this duel! Game two was probably my favorite with the slow build up leading up to Atems explosive play with ultimate offering. Leave it to Joey though to make a lucky comeback that never should have worked. Game three had my favorite play though, I usually don’t like negates but it was pretty hype seeing seven tools.

I appreciate y’all, getting me too love this game and getting to know more about the new and the old cards is really fun!
I just want to say that you guys make some really good content. Thanks to your channel and a couple of others I've decided to pick up the game again.
I thought with soul exchange you couldn't conduct your battle phase 🤣
Yugi's grandpa lived a long and fulfilling life. We can let him go
But his soul is yeeted forever mon! If Joey's sister dies, she can reincarnate, go to heaven or w/e. But Grandpa Yugi is boned forever!!!
FOREVER!!!!
500K subs coming soon… we appreciate you guys at TEAM APS
Summoned Skull 1 tribute for 2500, Gai 2 tributes for 2300- older yugioh had a wild imagination lol
1:18 when you forget basic strategic moves during an old school game! 😄😂
these duels are always very cool and fun to watch, a lot of nostalgia,i have Kaiba and Joey's starter deck,i want to see what Joey vs Pegasus will be like
Pity this isn't really the anime, where Yugi would go on to face Pegasus and he just gives Joey the money anyway. ;)
this duel is ridiculous lol. we need a full tournament with those kind of decks. also u get style points for sommuning sub 2k atk stuff with tributes
Serenity has a full life ahead of her... I think Joey needs the win more.
Top two prizes were money and asking a favor from Pegasus. No matter which one of them won, it would still work out for both Joey and Yugi, to be fair
😂
I only ever played OG Yu-Gi-Oh with cards like these & this is legitimately the first time I've seen someone fusion summon the The Flame Swordsman! Lol 🤣🤣🤣
Activates reverse trap
"Your gonna use that card?"
Internally cries as i unironically used that back in the day
I think that, since Karate Man's effect states that it's attack doubles, the trap thingy would then change the effect to have it's attack halved instead.
Close. Reverse Trap only affects numbered increases and decreases, so it would do nothing to Karate Man's effect.
Wasn’t expecting this, so glad it was dropped right now
I remember those decks. Probably the first ones I got as a kid. The memories.
No matter what, We're in this together
No matter what, We'll be friends forever, yeah!
(Got reminded of the song because of the duel)😁
1:55 Alec not putting a spell in the middle looks like a infinite imperm ptsd to me 😂
ordered the yugi and kaiba deck from america because the cards weren't in the uk at that time
If this was the manga, at least Yugi could talk to his grandpa. He was just trapped in a minicam tape, so batteries and rewinding was all they needed.
All those summons and then to be met with Just Desserts... pretty funny way to lose
I like how you just leapt into this one!
20:47 The secret text of the XYZ Dark Magician toploader is it can overlay on top of another Dark Magician.
Reverse trap is different now. It only works for adding and subtracting. It does not work for multiplying and dividing.
The reasoning at beginning of video was hilarious. Eyes...vs a soul. One thing is not like the other.
Was watching this at the gym during cardio. I cackled when I heard “my grandfather’s eternal soul!!”
😂 That second game the way it ended felt like an anime moment
At this point I could just pump OG yugioh straight into my veins, it's all good shit and especially good when its team APS
At 03:55 Reinforcement cant be used here since we are in Damage Step. Only Quick Spells can be used here
And then I pay A N O T H E R 500 life points to summon another monster hahahaha, these videos are perfect and always make my day
20:51 Total Yugi move. SCREW THE RULES, I'M THE MAIN CHARACTER!
🤣
Man how did you get these structure decks since that they are so old
Ebay or Amazon is probably where they got them.
The Slifer/Ra video auto played after this one for me and between that duel and this one Alec has lost a lot of weight and looks fantastic! Keep it up!
You guys should start mixing this decks up with other structure deck such as zombie madness and other decks from that time
I love the dynamic you guys have.. such a fun watch!
That Just Dessert play was CHEFS KISS 💋 😘
Honestly how I remember Yu-Gi-Oh lol. Learning the new stuff is something else
that castle wall move in game 3 was hype, lowkey on the edge of my seat
That spot on your phone where the camera is was tripping me up, thought I had something on my screen XD
another nastalgic duel! I love watching these! thank you aps !
Guys, time to do the Starter Decks Home Tournament with the crew. Love the videos!
Damn, that just deserts was perfect. Loved it!
Great content as Always!

you cant use reverse trap on karete man because reverse trap cant change doubleing/halving
Reverse trap is terrible, who made that shit?!?
10:57 Reverse trap only work for addition/subtraction not doubling or halving
I believe since karate man's affect says his attack is doubled, revers trap's effect would cause the attack to be halved.
12:32 That's Ethan's move! I see you learned well
oh yeah yugis grandfather is still a card. you could get him graded and watch as his worth increases and increases
This duel about to be ridiculous
Paul shouting out Flame Swordsman’s long, flaming hot sword was wild 🥵
I dont think I've ever seen anyone use Doma the Angel of Silence in my entire 18 years of playing.
True story: For the longest bloody time, Doma the Angelnof Silence creeped me out. Like a possessed doll on a card
I see interesting yugioh at the beginning had creepy and scary artwork by changed as the games and animes went on.
I love old school yugioh. I love the Joey deck it's very fun to watch and I want to play it so bad. Love the duel
So much more interaction with this game. Then I see in mondern days
on the monitor behind him while he's plugging says we save balls lol
Gotta love that solid neg 2 for an 1800 beater, good ol classic Yu-Gi-Oh
Haven't played ygo in a loooong time but love your guys vids. Still got my original Japanese joey starter deck somewhere
Reverse trap’s effects aren’t applied to Karate man because doubled/halved isn’t the same mechanic as increase/decrease

What would happen if you dropped those soul cards on a duel disk or field?
According to Yu-gi-oh! R, it summons the soul of the person trapped within as a hologram that can see, hear, and talk to whoever else is around.
That Just Desserts counter was amazing haha
Duel idea, tag team duel, Kiba and Pegues decks vs Joey and Yug decks. Perhaps even with new support.
you guys made me think of the best idea to respect the maker of yugioh, so I am gonna check all my cards and Remake all 4 original Decks out of respect for them

Eldlich golden lord zombie
World. Hopefully I can make y’all proud as I learn this complex game
why did he attack with dark magician when he was summon when soul exchange stops you from entering battle that tern?
As a kid, nobody I knew understood what Reverse Trap did.
I'd love to see Axel Brodie (Volcanic) vs Mako Tsunami (WATER/Legendary Ocean). Really, just Volcanic against a WATER themed deck, couldn't remember anyone besides good old Mako, and iirc you have those cards for sure.
Shark comes to mind, as does Blue Angel's Marincesses and Orca Mega Fortress of Darkness (some one-pump character from GX played it).
Shark and Marincess would be way too strong against Volcanic if you played any of them pure.
That sounds correct, at reverse trap. I actually don't know how it is used fully.
Funny exchange at 1:13. Good duels.
Paul's biggest mistake was not embracing his inner Joey and summoning time wizard
damn cant believe we got to see some dark magician vs red eyes black dragon action, poggers
I asked in other video that never got answered but is Paul Egyptian?
Alec’s “nooo”reminded me of Darth Vader screaming No at the end of Episode 3
Could I convince you guys to do decks from a specific era? It'd be cool to see the stuff I used to see every week when I used to play in tournaments. I stopped right at the beginning of 5'Ds. Last card I ever pulled was Goyo Guardian
The thing is Joey, you just activated my joke trap. I'm not going to help your sister, and this prolong conversation was for NOTHING.
Go now, run back to your sister; tell her you failed! She's in darkness now, as she will be forever, and it's...all...your...FAULT
If you were to make a starter deck what cards would you make it have and what would be the theme?
Alec: "....... IT MUST BE DONE NOW!"
"I sacrifice 2 monsters, to normal summon, a guy on a horse!"
Paul "Oh, those jousting spears look sharp." ;(
I love these old nostalgic dual's :D
that was awesome. I want joey and yugi against jaden and syrus since all of them have starter decks.
This man actually summoned the Flame Swordsman 🤣
Alternate reality where Joey beats Yugi. Joey Beats pegasus and Yugi just uses his Grandpa as a boss monster.
That just deserts payoff was actually huge
who the hell was in charge of the music in the first duel? That track was so short lol
I really like these videos of yu gi oh decks!!
I wonder how much these sell for now. I still have my original Joey, Yugi, Kaiba and Pegasus Starter Decks, but I should just collect all the originals before it's too late
