Can an OLD 2013 Yu-Gi-Oh Deck Win ONE Duel Today? (#3)

Sponsored by Skillshare - First 1,000 people will get a 1 month free trial ▶ skl.sh/teamaps...
Chris heads to the local Yu-Gi-Oh tournament today with a new challenge: can he win a single duel with the 2013 Yu-Gi-Oh Shadow Samurai Value Box? It contains a classic Samurai Warlords Structure Deck and several booster packs to power it up, but will his skills and luck be enough to take a single game? Much less, an entire match?

[@DoloKicks]

My sword technique needs a little work!

[@KevinM88TR11]

Can my toon deck still win today?

[@J-Sade]

Oden was born to boil, Chris!!

[@kagemushashien8394]

I go Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[@relos756]

I wonder if old magician deck can be usseful

[@shadedthefaded6459]

Chris is the most wholesome APS member. He just radiates good vibes.

[@EizaYgo]

Absolutely

[@dove-o-war]

True

[@markdaley9770]

Agreed for sure.

[@ShiningNoctowls]

I love these videos with him in them and the music to boot

[@gabeitches87]

More wholesome than Alex???? Impossible

[@TheHomieNess]

It’s funny how Chris immediately jumped on his phone after his turn cuz he knows the opponent is gonna take 10-15 minutes before they pass

[@DoloKicks]

Hah. I had forgot to reply to a text lol

[@darkknight5541]

Assuming they don't wipe him out.

[@kagemushashien8394]

I Go Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[@mug281]

Kinda feels like a lot of people who comment don’t really play much yugioh lol. Not sure what kind of rules they do at his local tournaments but I’ve never seen anyone be allowed to use even close to 10 minutes for a turn, unless there’s some sort of dispute.

[@SleepLessThan3]

@MUG I just played my first local tournament and I'm pretty sure I went through a madolche player taking 10 mins for a turn bc I didn't know what anything did and had to read every card as it was being played 💀💀

[@maxumgartner6725]

For series name why not "Chris's Structure Box Challenge" with the goal to win a Match. If needed he can open 2 of the same structure deck/box set in order to give him a more consistent deck build or just stick with the current way of doing things Love watching this series and pretty much all series/videos Team APS puts out.

[@TeamAPS]

*Hope you guys enjoy this new video with Chris!

Ur the best! I love all your videos!

[@Drone-7]

Rush Duel!

[@marklehman5272]

Paul do you guys keep a po box to send stuff to? These aren't as uncommon to find here.

[@YKAQUA]

I want to see you guys try using a hieratic deck my fav

[@joeycastillo7991]

I like the ring to "Underdog Chris" for this series of Chris videos

[@whomstvenotwhom1669]

Absolutely love this series so keep these up! Eventually I would like to see Chris be able to use 3x of a structure deck and see how deep he can get in the tournament. I also would love to see more of your house tournaments. Perhaps with every team APS member. Keep it up!

[@jamesking144]

Love the idea of the competition

[@AFoundVagabond]

"Bringing structure to the locals" isn't the worst name for this series.

[@theWIIISEguy]

Segment Name Suggestions: "Hopeful Locals" "Structure Challenge" "One or None" And just for the meme: "Protect Ya Deck"

[@megawolf1217]

I was the pk player and I thought his monster prevented me from attacking warrior monsters, we live and we learn. Also the mat I was playing on was given to me by team aps so shout out to them for hooking it up

[@Habeev07]

5:07 is sick. You got a dragon that's all "ORIENT" themed to go with your samurai.

[@backseatgamingstudios4559]

Video idea: Go to locals, save all the packs you get for participating, then make a deck and duel locals sealed only. 🤣 It would take some time, but think it would be pretty cool.

[@VictorTAnderson]

If it's against me, then any deck can win a duel.

[@aydenh.6355]

So what you're saying is... You're a third rate duelist with a fourth rate deck

[@gabeitches87]

The legend himself, VICTORRRR

[@StarHado]

interesting

[@theWIIISEguy]

When we gonna get to see you duel again bruh?

[@VictorTAnderson]

@@theWIIISEguy Good question. Keep your ears to the ground, chief 👀👀

[@kerowolfe]

Chris confirmed One Piece fan, and here I thought he couldn't be more relatable.

[@DoloKicks]

One peace is my shit!

[@jamaaldagreatest2748]

Goat anime

[@partymantis3421]

11:47 Good to acknowledge this Chris. Lets do what we can to ease up on the planet, cuz we all live here

[@worldpeacearroyo8515]

I'm always excited for this segment because it's simply a nostalgia dose & a trip down memory lane in action, especially when you summon the giant card. Keep up the wholesome content! Commemorating Ulti-Cannahawk no longer on the F & L list. 🐦⚡

[@jonkozlowski2476]

I have a really great friend who loved playing Samurai decks back in highschool. His Six Samurai decks were always different and pretty challenging at times to handle. When this structure deck came out he would buy 2-3 copies of it to enhance what he already had

[@iistonton]

As a huge cyber dragon fan, I'd like to see Chris try to win with 3 copies of the Cyber Revolution structure deck. It'd be decent but also missing a lot of the key Cydra cards. Also your local shop seems so cool, mines full of sweaty meta players no one ever want to play casual/rouge :(

[@Different16]

Losing even a single duel to a starter deck is maximum disrespect.

[@MatthewCJoy]

TBF if I remember correctly the dinosaur starter deck dominated.

[@dylligraphy5183]

A few have been meta-defining including Monarchs, Dinosaurs, Endymion, Shaddolls and Rokkets but you'd need to get 3 of the structure and spend a lot on hand traps/staples/extra deck options to make it competitive. Monarchs were probably the best in terms of how far you could go with just the structure decks because it was very viable to play them without an Extra Deck due to Domain being especially powerful with no ED, and Monarchs didn't tend to use much in the way of hand traps because they needed to play their consistency cards. Just last year Lithium2300 got 2nd at a Remote Duel invitational with a Domain Monarch deck under $200!

[@uromak309]

Ppl who play to win win even if they loose.

[@davidhunter2393]

Do you still think that a starter deck is essential when you're just starting out?

[@Different16]

@@davidhunter2393 I don't play right now but watch a lot of these vids. Seems to me like you could either just buy a good deck made by someone for a low price, or just copy a deck list of a cheap deck that was decent.

[@JazziG59]

I really appreciate the level of effort you put into editing these, it really feels like I’m there dueling with them.

[@Kraust]

These videos are 100% wholesome. Reminds me of back in the day when I had a locals nearby.

[@shiniblackrose]

I really like the idle chatter between duels, it really brings a youtube to life.

[@BretGammons]

Name ideas: ~Decked Out ~Hit the Deck ~One for the Books (or a variation like "One for the Record Books" or "One for the History Books") ~Time Capsule Monsters ~Never Meta Deck I Didn't LIke ~Locals Only ~For Starters ~Unboxing Match ~One and Done ~Outside the Box ~Duelist on Deck Feel free to append "with Chris" to any of these.

[@SerpensRgn]

Whenever I see a Chris video he gives me the best wholesome vibes

[@jconny65]

my favorite series on your channel tbh. chris is chill af.

[@Antonyle100]

I'd love to see these kinds of videos way more frequently! I love seeing these where you duel others at your locals, keep it up.

[@jamescalder5115]

Man im glad I found this channel... Ive been looking for a proper YuGiOh channel and yall guys seem to have so much fun

[@mulldrifterz6469]

I love watching and listing to Chris. Would love to see updated deck profiles for his Burning Abyss and Spellbook decks. Lots have changed since the last ones!

[@kayfenix7596]

Chris is the most chillaxing man i have ever seen even lossing he is just vibing, GG either way bro, keep this really cool segment

[@sirswagabadha4896]

"You watch too much anime, you think you know how to say stuff" damn I would have loved to see a facecam reaction to that

[@PatJamma]

15:05 sleeved Yugioh cards are about the same size as an unsleeved standard size card, meaning you you could sleeve your deck, and the double sleeve with the MHA sleeves over them

[@kyleblanchard919]

Not to turn this into a race thing but I was watching a ton of white guy yugioh channels as a white guy myself and just thought they were okay but then I found you guys and im addicted to your videos. My new favorite yugioh channel. You guys are killing it. Subscribed.

[@mizunokage124]

Chris is a One Piece fan...that just make me shed a tear happiness. GREAT VIDEO!

[@Jester4580]

Honestly this channel made me wanna pick up yugioh again. Kinda crazy seeing the stuff that was new when I played being described as "old." So to ease the pain of aging why not call it "the underdog challenge"

[@thatrandomsquad1418]

Man every time I watch you guys being so great at this game and being so kind and nice in these videos it makes me jealous of how good y’all are and hopefully you guys can turn me from, good to great at least keep up the great work tho

[@mez9843]

Its cool to see Big C back in another APS video. The guys super chilled and brings that "relaxed" vibe to all that is yugioh. Havent watched this one yet but can already tell its gonna be another good one, nicely done team 👏 👍

[@TrigTrag24]

Ooo new challange idea, duel with a pure archetype no cards from outside the archetype except must haves (polymerisation for Hero's as example) also no generic archetypes like dragon link or Zombie (Example you can play shiranui but no uni zombie or Gozuki)

[@joshh390]

You guys are great. Keeping that yugioh nostalgia alive!

[@carrytimmermans1024]

Love those old school challends thank you team APS

[@xAVACx]

Great video again. Name of the Segment could be something like Out Of The Box? Since that's what you're doing, Taking a deck straight out of the box and playing it at a tournament.

[@teamberserkion8436]

Haven't seen Chris in a while so this was a treat.

[@spadesplays8249]

Names: Is it Possible? / Can it get a W? / How good is it? / Can it still work? / Win Able?

[@argoth5842]

Could call it, " Is this deck still good?"

[@daviddent5662]

Melfy are a surprisingly strogn arcetype. Cannot wait for more support in Duel Links where I think they shine through much better since there's less hand traps and their 'tag' bounce effect is both cute and useful for baiting out opponents. XD In the recent Duelist Kingdom event we had I loved using them with Racoons to do some pretty sneaky plays where I could use a Blue Eyes' high attack against them or stall out Aroma so they knew how it felt to face a board that just sits there not doing anything until it turns it's monster into a literal Amazoness Swordswoman+! Ahhh got a little over excited there. Ahem. I think Chris is just the best Yugioh style of Duelist/card player in general how he goes into these without complaint, knowing his chances are slim but smiles and has fun. Congrats on getting a victory on Grave Keepers too with such an old deck!

[@bryanmckean]

Chris is such a real guy, I feel like I'm at my own locals when he's talking shop

[@moureemou307]

Series name : "Chris uses some random sh*t" Chris : "Go! Random Bullsh*t!"

[@daffamustafa]

Chris to a red eyes head figure "yea dont summon dragoons" LMAO

[@travisbuschette8609]

17:31 Even the Normal monsters have a wall of text now

[@eddiegloria9671]

People always overlook Cunning. Cunning, if you have a valid targrt in the grave, lets any six sam monster dodge any card that targets. Because it's chosen on activation of a card, and Cunning removes it from the field as cost, you can bring it back on resolution, and it's a new monster that can no longer be targetted by your opponents card. Also, if can be activated in the Battle Phase bc it's a quickplay. Which means you can add an attack to your turn.

[@tehno-t3345]

I love this kind of video. You are doing great combination of Yugioh. Opening packs and decks and dueling.

[@jefeortega5439]

This actually brightened my day a bit so thanks for that.

[@knightofsouls]

The editing and background track in this video is on point. Ty for these Videos! Chris is awesome!

[@Hyperfludd]

The good vibes in this vid are so damn cozy.

[@grandmasterkevv]

I don't play Yugioh anymore, but when Six Samurai came out, it was my favorite deck ever in Yugioh. Then the X-Saber deck was my next one after that. I loved that hand destruction loop with that deck. The monsters were so cool and I love the Samurai archetype And I remember trying to to get the Shogun and Grandmaster cards back then, I could never complete my deck cause I had no Grandmaster :( I didn't work and was I school back then and couldn't buy everything

[@AshtonTheMelon]

It would be a great series to watch you guys turn classic structures like this meta.

[@eeeeewewew]

This channel got me back into yu-gi-oh! I love you boys!

[@LE-1]

Loving this series, Chris looks so chill. I raise you the series name Chris’ Loco Locals Challenge :)

[@kurtzimmerman9272]

Me and my brother used to play yugioh together very causally and the six Sam deck was the structure I used to play this deck will always have a place in my heart

[@TRX691]

These videos with chris are so enjoyable keep em coming

[@neanight222]

That was a really fun challenge and the box was cool, too! As a beginner in the game I find these challenges super interesting, it definitely helps to learn and get a deeper understanding of the game and its development throughout the years. Also, loved the message about saving the earth.

[@senchouchanakaDSDGB]

Oden wouldn't be Oden if it wasn't boiled!!!! I love this channel and the samurai theme video was really awesome keep it up guys. don't slow down get better!!

[@SaulHernandez-cm8dq]

Would like to see you guys do a modified version of these decks to be competitively viable in this day and age of yugioh. Would be tricky and expensive but know you can do it!

[@JosePineda-jn8jk]

This structure deck changed my friend group meta. I was so dominant until my buddy went and got a Master Hyperion deck. Of course we both went crazy rebuilding them and we can still ftk/otk each other 😂 such good times!

[@rashi9k795]

Fire video as usual but that Yankees cap is so clean! Lol had to put that out there

[@taquangray4102]

Just started watching you guy, and I bought my own structure deck a few days ago (Slifer The Sky Dragon). I was thinking about "Structure Deck Tournament" or short for "SDT" to make it easier.

[@SoDaFiiZzGaming]

Chris’s presence just instantly relaxes me

[@Chris-lp3fu]

One of my favorite series, keep it up!

[@TheFluffiestZinogre]

Chris, what Digimon deck are you running? Currently I've got a greymon tribal, a Yellow Wargreymon deck, need to put together my UlforceVeedramon deck, and waiting to make a Hexeblaumon and ChaosGallantmon decks.

[@NLookabill94]

To whoever said Chris's structure box challenge for the name. Very nice idea. That's a fire name. Also great structure deck! Always was a warrior deck fan so that caught my eye when I saw it haha keep up the good work!!

[@ronwarren886]

I have a strong feeling you would be very successful with hero’s strike! especially if it’s x3

[@Guy1189]

Six Samurai are my favorite archetype. I honestly didn't know this box existed until this video.

[@phillipbrand5788]

Enjoyed watching these videos! Reminded me when i lost my first and only locals by running the hero strike structure deck. I lost to a rogue deck and sky strikers lol. Hopefully i will be lucky to find another locals somewhere

[@tommybateman2916]

Love six samurai, they were my first deck to hit KOG with on duel links

[@zyphonwhite9853]

these videos always make me feel happy, thanks for being amazing!

[@doublejbduece5015]

I've always been too shy to go to locals fearing that I'll just make a fool of myself.

[@cptrevenant4088]

Yeah. If you ever got to play Gateway before the errata you know that it was an absolute key to the decks consistency.

[@Kaptain_Wario]

For a title, how about “Limited Locals” since he’s limited to what he’s got and all that?

[@MMAengineer]

this is actually extremly entertaining for the older guys who know these older cards

[@XeathGears]

How about "Chris the One Duel Wonder" or "Chris 1-Tap Duels" for the name of the series?

"Can it win?" and with a title like that, this could be repurposed into a segment where you try all kinds of theme decks, when you eventually run out of structure decks. "We re-created Zane's CyberDark deck. Can it win??"
