Dueling EVERY Classic Yu-Gi-Oh Structure Deck! (2005-2007)

[@TeamAPS]

*Leave a Like if you enjoyed this blast from the past!* 👍🏾 *I really miss back when Konami would release Structure Decks in pairs like these so you and a friend could both buy one and duel with them! Plus, they were just Type or Attribute themed so it felt general enough to give you creativity going forward! Which one was your fave?*

[@a.s.3904]

Choosing a favorite is like choosing your favorite child.... It's the Dragon's Roar of course. 🤣

[@billybobhuntsman16]

can add some this cards to the slifer slacker series , like both pick 2 decks to add to your collection

[@jobejacobs62]

Warriors Triumph vs Spellcasters Judgment is the best matchup

[@Snipergod1024]

Paul actually made an illegal move in the duel between Blaze of Destruction and Fury of the Deep. You can't normal summon Ocean Dragon Lord Neo Daedalus, he can only be special summoned. So technically, Paul should've lost that duel to the Solar Lock. Still enjoyed the game, it's a laugh to watch you guys. Just thought you should be aware. :)

[@oliviamiller1388]

What about purchasing online or in a Card's Stores a Onslaught of The Fire Kings Yugioh Zexals Era classic Structure Deck, and also as well too also Yugioh Realm of The Sea Emporers Structure Deck from the Yugioh Zexals Eras Original Era Structure Decks Duels with the Original TCG Decks for the New Year's Team APS KZbin Channel's Please!!!!

[@uzqu2201]

I'm glad you keep uploading the classic stuff, it's all I watch on the channel mostly tbh. Keep them going!

[@rockcycle824]

My brother had Blaze of Destruction and I opted for Fury from the Deep. The amount of joy and pain felt watching that duel was fun, thank you!

[@jimmynotnice9190]

Had both of them this was peak yugioh for me

[@scv-70whitebase]

This takes me back; my favorite era of YGO where my friends and I would crack these open and throw down for a few hours.

[@buddyzilla4557]

The reason they come all mixed up is because they were advertised as ready to do out of the box. You could supposedly pull them right out and immediately due with them already in a random order, so you didn't have to shuffle.

[@rellsolomon9824]

Oh that sounds right about that I always wonder why they were like that thanks for the info

I dont want to talk out of my ass, but I'm pretty sure they were in order when they came out in Germany.

i remember my decks having 1 of each card on the deck card list in the stack and having the duplicates beyond those cards in the deck

Bros, you have no Idea how much of a blast to the past seeing the Dinosaurs Rage structure deck again. So pump It won too! Dinosaurs are easily my favorite archetype. Stoked to see Jurracs next!

[@KenNiKenken38]

that snatch steal after the daedalus was such a heart of the cards moment

[@federicobiondi431]

except that the daedalus summon wasn't correct since you can't tribute summon it

[@AdrianCSmart]

Man, that Warrior's Triumph deck! That brings back some awesome memories. Thanks for posting!

[@claytonnoble568]

Oh the nostalgia! These weren't my original starter decks but those were honestly my favorite as they really felt like you could build a legit strategy with the decks.

[@logiclunacy606]

It is the key difference between a structure deck and a starter deck.

[@Tai182]

Yu-Gi-Oh is so fun when you don't play competitively

[@Mystwarrior1]

Yeah meta killed yugioh. The whole "all decks are OTK" thing made it pointless.

[@alwaystired9754]

I loved the Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon deck as a kid! It made love dragons and Red-Eyes! Getting out Darkness and pumping him to like 5000 ATK felt so epic!

[@LCDigital92]

Dragon’s Roar was my first and last structure deck! So happy to see it again. ^_^

[@buddyzilla4557]

"Obnoxious" Celtic Guardian is why they were called retrains. He was known as Retrained Celtic Guardian in the OCG but was called "obnoxious" in translation in English instead for some reason.

[@JanJanNik]

wait really? now it all makes sense

[@s72-h6i]

The dub team really hated the Celtic Guardian card

[@VinnieSajan]

Why was he obnoxious is the real question! What did he ever do to the dubbers?

[@bradpollard444]

Well his name "Obnoxious" is prolly just in reference to its effect which prevents it from being destroyed by 1900 or more attack monsters. Obnoxious as in annoying or that the guard now won't ever go away from its enemies lol.

[@piaconelli92]

Awesome vintage Classic Yugioh! Gx Era Structure decks from 2005- 2007!

[@Pkmntrainerash123]

As an OG Yu-Gi-Oh player who gave up with keeping up when links came out, watching these duels gives me so much joy

[@wendix]

My first original deck was Dinosaur's Rage :D what a moment to be a duelist back in 2010s

[@Boyzby]

It's funny, because I've been going through this playlist while doing stuff in games, but I haven't gotten to this era yet. I really enjoy these videos, taking me back to the time when I actually played.

[@bAd12cheZ]

I had all these decks! Super Nostalgic! Thanks Team APS!

[@alecmoriarty]

Ah man, I had all of those growing up.. That sure takes me back!

[@kurosan0079]

Love this channel, man. I don't play yugioh anymore, but seeing people have fun with just structure decks is making me want to play again.

[@Spink_Prime]

If you miss old yugioh and want to play again, I suggest Goat format. It uses only cards up til the April 2005 banlist, excluding Exarion Universe, and it never changes so you never have to worry about things getting limited or added in new booster sets. There are a surprising number of cool decks to play such as Vampire Lord zombies, Relinquished, Goat Control, Chaos Turbo, Zoo Beatdown, Warriors, Horus lvl 8, Final Countdown, Burn, Fairies, Gravekeepers, Rock, and Flip Control.

[@gothicfemboy428]

​@@Spink_PrimeI think the problem is no one plays it irl only online

[@pagananarchist4723]

These videos really bring me back 😄 I really love the more casual play for yugioh since the rules can be more relaxed and there is more freedom in what you can play as opposed to if you stick to the meta strategies. It's also more fun since there is more of a genuine back-and-forth instead of the constant negates and OTKs of the modern competitive scene

[@starjadiancloneinvestigato1772]

holy kino 5:53 set one monster and one spell/trap face down and end your turn. I remember back in the days when that was the peak of yu-gi-oh gameplay LOL

[@tarmoboyf]

Paul KOing with Ceasefire in match 1 brought back so many wonderful memories.... I played that Red Eyes deck all the time. Thanks for the video!

[@YiyiOta]

Team APS give us the content we need as Yugi fans! Thanks for everything guys and here’s to an amazing 2024

[@patricksmith2440]

I love the old structure decks! Especially the neodeadalus art. Though fun fact the structure decks for it have a misprint so you have to sacrifice a normal daedalus to special summon it. The play guide that comes with the deck follows the proper effect/summon condition so im sure some new players were very confused

[@johannesl.7248]

wdym the version with the text to tribute daedalus to summon is the correct one.

[@starjadiancloneinvestigato1772]

thank you so much for doing the cards on screen on vid 2. it's busy work but appreciated

[@dioaznable1504]

Man, this was cool to see. Have you guys thought about doing the OCG character structure decks? There's 8 total and they're different to the starter decks we got with strong cards like Jinzo, Crush Card Virus, and Thousand-eyes Restrict along with being more accurate to their anime decks. They also got a "Volume 2" of Joey's deck that we never did. Obviously you'd want to just gather the English cards yourself but there's card lists on the wiki.

[@Shou_Han]

Heck yeah! I was hoping you guys would upload the full series!

[@dancosgrove4940]

Absolutely love your vids. Thank you so much for doing old school duels way more fun to play and watch. Keep up the amazing work and wish the team nothing but happiness and success as well as a happy new year 🤘

[@MirkwoodmanMV]

This brought back so many good memories of my childhood. I had my Dinosaur's rage deck that I played against my friend's Zombie madness that neither of us understood synergies, so we took out key cards just to put in our bigger favorite vanilla beat sticks because the biggest monster always won! This is the type of content I love to see. Thanks for making these videos and I would love to see more videos like this of single structure decks going against each other or even a bracket style tournament series using the structure decks that you guys have been gathering for the videos. Keep up the great work guys!

[@joelbaglio8101]

I had so much fun watching these brought me back, I’ll even be rewatching lol😂🫡

Amazing! This was a great start to the new year!

[@Exodus1279]

I miss Larry in the hole. You guys should still be going to Targets, Wal-Marts, and independent places. After rarity collection there are a few cheap selections out there. Target had a 3 booster pack and 1 extra card set for $8.99. And one of may local places did a 6 for $20.00 booster pack or certain structure decks sale. So go out there and check for things. If you can.

It's amazing how well balanced a lot of these decks are compared to their "partner" decks, there was some really good back-and-forth play in these duels

My boy Darby and I did this exact same thing years ago. It was so fun playing with these themed structure decks! Thanks for the nostalgia

[@WhosHelix]

This brought so many memories back I remembered as a kid getting most these structured decks cause I was so obsessed with the cards and the show I remember when I got Warriors Triumph thinking it was a greatest deck on earth I miss those days thank you for everything you guys do and for the sacrifice you wallets take share these amazing pieces of history!

[@stubenhockershr1161]

in Germany back in the days, the guys in charge of the translation for the cards messed up, in the Joey Starter Deck, Red-Eyes was translated into "Red-Eyes Blue Dragon" because of the "B." and it looked kinda blue :D also wondering why Konami stopped using the OG ace monster designs (Dark Magician, Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes)

[@no_russiangaming8841]

Love this channel, been watching since the beginning and I've loved every moment. These classic duels are awesome for showcasing what the new gen missed out on lol jk. But yea love what you guys do always eager for more!!

[@skullsquad900]

I loved the Exxod vs Harpie duel the best, as Exxod was my first REAL deck and my uncle had Harpies. We still duel them every so often as he keeps them updated. And my Exxod Subterror's are awesome 👌 Though I gotta say, 1:33:55, was a bad call. Exxod is not worth sacrificing a Great Sphinx XD

[@RedSoulVnT]

These are the most nostalgic decks for me, and some of the best fun to be had when playing YGO is playing with those decks. I never had the chance to get a physical one, but back in the day I loved to play Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship Tournament 2006, which had most of those decks as starter decks. Zombie Madness is still one of my favorite decks of all time.

[@DrohmBT]

Maybe ya'll can do like a tier list say which one you guys liked most to least with of course personal tastes and times of when they were out. obviously cause power creep

[@XSaberUruz]

I love grabbing 2 structure decks and playing them 1v1 as they come, it's very fun. I do the same thing with pokemon premade decks.

Yep I do it to but by my self 😢

Shout out to Paul for winning w that dragon strategy against the zombie strategy!! Brings back good memories.

[@roycereinhart-brown2549]

You guys are the coolest! Thank you for taking the time and putting all these together. I have always been a big fan of these structure decks. It has always been my dream that there would be a city wide tournament (battle city style) where each duelist COULD ONLY USE one of these structure decks. No boosters, no deck changes. If this kind of tournament was in town, which deck would be your choice? And why? 😊 Mine would be the Warrior’s Triumph. I’ve always been a big fan of Warrior monsters, and the deck strategy is fairly strait forward; amass an army and equip them with weapons, and overpower your opponent! 😄

[@vaanitus887]

Zombie madness is my fav deck of this bunch too. It changed my mind on the zombie archetype as a whole and I love the different tools it has to utilize. It's almost always the deck I start with for a fresh run of Yu-Gi-Oh WC GBA 2006

[@quickscoperxmw3xftw]

Thanks for the great video on nye, loving the vintage yugioh content

[@MARSHMALLOWchomper]

Love these decks sm

[@silverroddo1468]

I liked the fire deck, i had a gimmicky non-competitive burner-deck using Spirit of the Flames, Inferno, UFO Turt’, Backfire, Ultimate Baseball Kid, and as a bonus, i use the fire boss monster to destroy my opponent’s spell and traps. Although i think i had all but one structure deck from these releases.

[@laurowelscher1343]

That snatch steal came in clutch in the second match!

[@TeamAPS]

Wild to see that it's unbanned in the modern game now, too!

[@ericbreese3071]

I appreciate you guys explaining some of the older cards and how they work

[@Ava_Grim]

The dragon´s roar vs zombie madness duel gave me strong nostalgic vibes, since dragon´s roar was my first "real" deck besides the joey starter deck and i ran into this older guy who had the zombie deck, and he was a MANIAC duelist X D he really loved to turn every duel into an anime event and he always performed as he was summoning the winged dragon of ra, even if he just set a monster. Ngl, best time to be alive X D

[@paololesicilen]

Really nice content guys, reminded me a lot of memories cuz its the type of decks i used to play as a kid ! Happy new year from france ✌

[@PyckledNyk]

That Dark Magician deck has some cool cards, but using spell counters seems to be a dubious strategy, at least as it was given in the structure deck

Wasn't it?!

[@gunslingeras3867]

It really was, the rise of the true dragons was one of my favorite structure decks. Mainly because of the box artwork made the boss dragon look so cool.

[@jasonreyna7615]

Had every one of these, I would say the inferno were my favorite just because baseball kid, raging flame spirit, combined with gravity bind which I would add, and the card that makes every 4+ stay in defense was great 😂

[@professor0w05]

Nice to see that these decks are so powerful, that Alec‘s hair changed.

[@ZN99Cobra]

This is the stuff my friends and I play. We just make these exact decks in Dueling Book and duel and its always such a good time.

[@ASavageEye]

I remember when the Red Eyes deck came out. That Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon just slapped the sh1t out of everything in its path. At that point in the game there were very few monsters with the ability to reach 4000+ atk and, unlike today, back then highest ATK was the only thing that really mattered. I wish a lot of todays younger players had that experience, maybe the game would not be so toxic anymore and players would play for fun again. The fire deck was also very cool. First time you could build a true burn deck with enough protection to make it viable.

[@joeyjjmoore]

"Don't walk away from that. Feel ashamed!" Way funnier than it should have been.😂

[@JediPropeck]

Zombie madness was my first structure deck. Won some matches in our local tournament. The nostalgia of this video brought me back.

[@ulyssessanchez2328]

[@wargamesmaster]

My favorite deck in this lot is fury from the deep, I liked the design of the Ocean Dragon Lord and wished it was "remastered" for modern duels... But there's two decks I wished were in my collection (can't buy them now, too costly), Dragunity Drive & Lord of the Magicians.

[@PatVX1]

Man this really makes me wish I still had all these structure decks in their original forms haha. If Konami wanted to make a retro themed product that I'd buy in a heartbeat, they should make a box set that contains a bunch of these old decks as a contained set to be played against each other, something like the Speed Duel box sets but with older structure decks would be a ton of fun.
