did you know, that red eyes b dragon was actually printed in german as "rotäugiger blauer drache" which means red eyes blue dragon.

[@kogdanetdeneg]

It's so nice to be able to follow a Yu-Gi-Oh duel without getting completely lost

[@rexusthevaliant6311]

I got back into Yu-Gi-Oh with masterduel. If you read all the cards and remember the basic plays you learn best times to interrupt. With any game you need to take the time to get decent at it. You can ignore most affects because most are just digging in deck or searching.

[@jowilli8331]

Agree really was nice understanding the game for once.

[@kings.kards08]

i know right . i play this in the back round ans i am still able to imagine the board

[@williambrown5934]

You’re preaching to the quire, but GLAD someone said it, so I don’t need to 🤗

[@Anders0429]

They do a really good job making sure the viewer knows what's going on. Other KZbin channels move so fast and just assume you know what the cards do, which is much harder to follow.

[@RANINGHAVOC]

As an old Yugioh fan that can't follow the new age version of the game, I absolutely love these retro sets and duels! Keep them going please!

[@vileluca]

i started playing around 2013/14. I can follow the modern duels, i just find them boring

[@infernape100]

@@vileluca Same, I prefer my Dragunity. And as a joke, Purrely and Melffy fused deck...incomplete so no testing done as of yet

[@danielt1337]

Try duel links, it's what got me back in the game. Just a suggestion.

[@tripleraven]

i agree ive been binge watching all these retro rivals

[@steezeaustin316]

100% the new game is just way too complex.

[@emeraldend9231]

When your life points are higher, use megamorph on your opponents' monsters instead of your own to cut their atk points in half. It's a neat trick a lot of people never think about.

[@cheetah219]

Exactly my thought. Especially good against a relinquished as a surprise Trump card

[@JoeVO24]

you can also use it to prevent an oppts monster from attacking directly

[@cheeseburgerpaladin]

Are you the kid Blake who I dueled at Toys R Us in 2004? Someone did this to me and I was in awe lol

[@Ratman-44]

@@cheeseburgerpaladinlol!! Blake with the 1000 IQ moves in 2004!

[@MegaShingo97]

I actually use that strategy a lot in Power of Chaos, i've also discovered that trick in this game (Kaiba the Revenge).

[@Reddragon80]

Im glad you guys didnt skip yall commenting and opening the packs one by one....awesome series guys!!

[@pinkfrappe_]

Paul pulling one of the best spell cards ever printed and pretty much going "I mean it's *alright*" is crazy

[@ArunaUtd]

Paul's deck is becoming insane. 2 Solemn, 2 Graceful (with 3 ThunfDra), Raigeki, tons of recruiters, good interruptions and stall power.

[@NovusIgnis]

I remember laughing in the last episode when their decks were labeled Ritual Turbo and Fusion turbo, but between last episode and this one they truly have been able to consistently get out Relinquished and Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon and get them out *quickly.* That's crazy! Also love how Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon always seems like such a meme in these old formats but it's a legit threat here just due to pure stats.

[@Bunsense_Gaming]

Thanks for all these videos you guys 🤝

[@Kasper-p9k]

I dont know why, but penguin soldier was always nice to look at with how much foil was on the artwork, during that era sending a monster to the hand was really good on big tribute monsters too !

[@jamisonusmc88]

That Maha Vailo Giant Trunade combo felt REAL nostalgic man.

[@p-flash1274]

Hey Paul, don’t forget you can use megamorph to weaken your opponents monster’s too

[@Ratman-44]

This series has been my absolute favorite set of videos on this channel. I’m a goat format player who doesn’t play any modern yugioh, so these old school battles really do it for me

[@Scooby2120]

Thank you for not fast forwarding through the pack openings it just makes it more involved when yall talk about the pulls

[@cecilbee4673]

Wasn’t prepared to hear Paul say “very demure” this duel 😭great retro match duelists love the videos

[@finalbossmichael]

Joey was always my favorite in the show, so I love seeing his cards be so central to Alec's deck.

[@zelandiangelo8595]

he's my fave too :] alec's energy in general is always really reminiscent of Joey to me so i love seeing his duels!

[@Law34prez]

I love that the game is slowly but steadily working back to what made it great to begin with. There's over 11k cards, randomness and simplicity allow the players to actually think, instead of the cards playing for you. Awesome series/video 👍🏾

[@retrohidalgo4024]

I'm really liking that Joey Wheeler deck in combination with relinquished.

[@feral7094]

I love this series. I always find myself just going back and playing classic decks on digital yugioh games

[@Arax73]

Was hoping to see some Black Skull Dragon action but otherwise great duels guys! Keep em coming :)

[@SeanSnow64]

Shhhhh Paul doesnt know about it yet😉 but for real i feel like thats what Alec was lookin for in that last game.

[@Young_BZ]

To be fair Joey never fuses into Flame Swordsman. He always just summons him as a Normal Monster xD

[@andywilson4826]

Loving the retro Sonic soundtracks you guys are using. It complements the retro series really well 😁

[@Smokefools6691]

Alec lives by the time wizard and dies by the time wizard

[@andymolina5324]

As someone who stopped playing right when links came in I’m loving these retro duels. I can’t count how many times I’ve pulled an Alec where my opponent didn’t know I had an extra boss monster

[@morguenmorguen6862]

Fantastic episode! I love that both duelists had crazy pulls in this episode. It's so cool to see these decks develop and become competitive. Team APS is the most fun I've had watching people play Yugioh since 2004. Edit: Also insanely pleased to see Copycat making such a strong return. It's one of my favorite cards of all time and it's perfect for keeping the wonderful tempo of these old school duels. And Alec has two Relinquished! That's crazy! Relinquished AND Thunder Dragon are both consistent in these Yugioh sealed decks! That's absolutely wild!!!

[@juliansalazar2655]

That little kid holding the dumbell cracks me up every time 😂

[@makenaiyomi1083]

Thank you for keeping the commentary in from when you opened the packs 🙏🏻 This is one of my favorite series on YT right now.

[@Latino3650]

I love this series. I'd wait it if it was first to 10! It's amazing to see how well they can build from the old school packs. Great jobs team aps. Keep things interesting :)

[@327ish]

once again, i dont watch this channel often as i'm more on the MTG side. But damn does this hit the nostalgia. Please keep this idea of a series going, even if you refresh it different ways from a new starting point

[@jimmyha1898]

What an insane Duel :D That Twin-headed Thunder Dragon strat is legit strong in this format lmao. Relinquished is awesome too. What a back and forth game. I would totally play this with my buddies except I can't find a single place that sells Retro Packs where I live. :(

Sadly the Retro Pack reprints aren't available outside North America unless you buy them online. If you're in America, then I guess you're just unlucky.

[@WakenWanangi]

These duels just keep getting better!

[@stevenlindgren3314]

Fun fact, I would buy 2-4 boxes of these, take them home and start weighing them on a scale. One was a little heavier, I would open and weigh the 4 packs. My theory was rare card packs are lighter than super/ultra rare card packs. And it was true. I tried this out 3 times. Really should have taken pictures each time and throw this on a science project board to prove my thesis, that Heavier boxes means more supers and ultras. I just know! I would sometimes pull 3/4 holos and 1 rare. I would honestly now try hunting the lighter boxes now as I’ve completed the super rares and only missing 2 ultras from the colllection, but missing a lot of the rares.

[@Dansu18]

Good stuff, love the unique deck identities and classic duels!

[@Boyzby]

There's a nice back-and-forth going on in these games. It really breaks the "set one and pass" image people have of OG Yugioh.

Old duels, old Sonic 2 music. A good video to unwind.

[@williambrown5934]

lol for like, the first two episodes of this Paul couldn’t get a ‘Giant rat’ card to save his life, now he’s getting them up the ying-Yang 😂 7:00 HA! Paul, I’d probably end up making that same mistake if I was playing, had that card and my opponent didn’t catch it for me 😅 It’s SO me to goof 😅 Unfortunately… 11:30 Feels like the Twinheaded Thunder Dragon, is BETTER & more helpful when it’s dropped on the field like a bad habit, late into the duel; as it’s the only time it has made a major difference over all….. But I am probably totally wrong, but it’s how it feels to ME, anyhow. Golly… Alec’s killer luck with the coin flip effect of Time Wizard makes him a scary opponent! He’s like Quigon in Starwars episode 1 with that dice “game of chance”, using the force to win 😂 Well… He’s gotten his coin flip a better half of the time, it feels like, anyhow… Been plenty effective imo.

[@joshfreeman2386]

I love this series ALOT
