NEW GX Duel Academy CASE Opening (Epic Secrets)

[@cristianrivera5598]

The speed duel decks are honestly one of the few ways I get to play with some of my friends that would otherwise would never touch regular TCG yugioh, so I appreciate having Speed duels format.

[@audi.6106]

Same here

[@ajrubin2563]

Speed duel really lets us enjoy older cards in a simpler way. I think it's a good format to keep in the $30 range with set items and not having booster boxes like they tried with the DM era

[@SupMamma88]

It’s why I picked up x3. I really miss old Yugioh

[@ChaoticMeatballTV]

We're actually getting a mini-box in September so they're going to twice a year updates. I'm glad they're at least keeping up with it since it's a really fun little format that has side events at YCSs and such.

[@Ruxin34]

That is good at least. I think quarterly updates would make it more interesting for a lot of ppl

[@kollimenakal]

aaaaaaaaand it's gone

[@pablorios6814]

You gotta admit that for a speed duel product this brings back a lot of nostalgia from the gx era, and great value too.

[@matijageric1295]

This is one of the best ways to have that OG Yugioh feeling for every Yugioh GX fan out here. It's very cool that you get a bit of every Gx character in this set :D

[@soup8786]

They should just make a new format that plays like the game used to. The best way to to this is to not print super staples like MST warrior lady ect. That allows room to print situational magic and trap cards with more design space. In the past 90% of cards in a set were invalid because they are worse or conditional versions of existing cards. They were forced to power creep and go up rather than sideways.

[@kevinsanchez9045]

I like speed duel. It's a really nice way of playing a simplified version of the game and I really like seeing classic anime cards in these decks.

[@2009wrestlefan]

If I remember correctly, the speed duel boxes have the deck themes all together in the right order but one of the stacks is "extra" cards to swap out some of the deck cards with different strategies. And since they don't go with any certain deck they just put them in a strange order.

[@jennyfromtheblock9654]

Despite them being a yearly release, I always am compelled to buy them. I usually buy one, and host a tournament with me and my best friends with whatever is inside. And it's a blast! Setting aside the meta for a slower, simpler format is so refreshing! Thanks for another great vid Ruxin 🙂

[@danielpeter9308]

Did the same too.. Except we play have a "random loaner deck rule". Everyone pick a deck box randomly without checking them. They can only look at their card during their match,winner proceed to the next round and they have to return the deck and pick another rotation of loaner deck with deck box switched. A hectic and fun game where everyone enjoy and has a chance to win.

[@ItBeNolanTho]

This product is super cool. I love how it brings back the old cards/format for people who don’t like the new stuff. Those secrets were also so beautiful hollllaaaayyy

[@redgravetcg5199]

Dood! I’ve been waiting for this Speed Duel box for months that I went back to rewatch GX. Sadly, I cannot find any at my stores 😭

[@AVAULT]

Very nice opening! Still waiting to get my hands on mine. The reason why some of the cards seemed to be jumbled up in your first pack is because those are considered to be more like extra cards of the set. They sorta did the same thing with the Battle City Box last time as well where you have all the 8 decks properly put together in order, and then the rest of other cards are put together with the skills into one pile. On the other side of the playmat, there should be a guide that gives you a list of cards in each character's deck to help you make them. Hope this clarifies it!

[@heyitsthatdude17]

The second pack you opened contained all the extra deck cards for the various decks + random extra cards that are not a part of the pre-made decks. The other packages are the main decks for the pre-defined decks.

[@NovaEmpyrean]

To explain how speed duels are sealed: They group 3 decks together, and then one of the packs is the extra card pack including the extra deck cards and more bulk for draft!

[@randallrohr623]

I’ve never played speed duel but I love the look and feel of the cards so much better than the standard cards. Whatever coating they put over them makes the foil look better and cards just feel more premium to me.

[@MBTYuGiOh]

Wow, the Warrior Lady looks SO CLEAN.

[@malachibrelsford9985]

Hoenstly this is just a great reprint set for so many cards. The fact dasher got a reprint for a card that hasn't been printed in ages is just great for anyone and the secret rares look so good and give cover cards that only way to get secrets are from buying the gx booster sets and now you can get them from here. Great product over all and hoping to get one in the future

[@crimson90]

Bro, let's goooooo! I like Speed Duel, and I was miffed by the fact that when I wanted to get back into the game in a form I remember playing after a ten-year hiatus the original Battle City box was selling for double retail. Being gifted this would be super legit. I've also got a buddy I play Magic with who is interested in playing Yugioh, and this would be a great way for not only me to relive the good ol' days of yugioh but also for him to learn the game from scratch. I've got a decent grasp on the modern game thanks to Master Duel and watching a bunch of yugitubers including yourself, but I can't throw my friend to the wolves and have him run through the tutorials and solo campaigns of Master Duel and then get smashed when people start going goblin mode on him in ranked. Old school simplified yugioh is the best place to start. GOAT LIVES MATTER! REJECT MODERNITY! RETURN TO FUSION DECK!

[@DenDenBMX]

As a YugiBoomer I really enjoy speed duel, seeing all these old nostalgic cards from duel monsters and GX really makes me happy and it's the easiest way to teach my friends how to play, also why are speed duel cards so much better quality than regualr tcg cards😂 Great video man!

[@nelsondiaz9863]

Speed duel boxes are great for bringing back that good old anime nostalgia! Seeing this opening made me want to re-watch GX tbh

[@HeatherSays]

My husband brought home the Battle City box on a whim one day and I've been hooked ever since. I did not play Yugioh back in the day, but I love playing this format. I do play Master Duel but honestly, I enjoy Speed Duel format more. I wish there were more support but I can't wait to get this! Thanks for all the great content!

[@TFC_Chance]

The one brick u opened with all the different fusions were all the extra deck monsters for each deck plus some deck extras if u wanna tweak the pre built decks.

[@treacherous9260]

I actually really like the idea of these. The 8 decks and extra secrets is cool to do a sort of battle city type of tournament where to get the secret rare from the person to use moving forward when you win. Really excited to pick up some of these secrets

[@queso849]

I love how it just includes a good majority of anime cards. Seeing the E heroes always brings a smile on my face.

[@keithrobison4271]

I loveee speed duel. It’s so hard to find players around me and it’s way easier for my fam and friends to understand. I really want the box

[@Trueking76]

I bought these. Beautiful cards. Love the secret rares. I will always usually buy these once a year. Was happy with last years.

[@WarriorofZero]

One of the things I like about this product is that it’s a whole slew of pre-made decks. They’re perfect for parties with friends who know little to nothing about YGO’s master duel format

[@koryklotz]

As an old-school player that hasn’t played since 2007, these products are a fun way to play again with friends without having to learn/teach the insanity that is the modern game. These boxes are great for allowing new players to learn the basics quickly and still have fun with simple and nostalgic strategies.

[@anerdyman]

I love this product! I myself have opened more than 2 boxes on my Channel to get all the secrets playsets, I can't wait until September to open the box with the Paradox brothers!

[@themainmate2767]

Speed duel is a great format for new players. Bought a battle city box and taught a bunch of my friends how to play. Plus the secrets are beautiful, can’t wait to get a set of cyber dragons

[@TirasWorld]

The decks come together. The first one contained the cards for Zane, Axel and the skills, the second one was all the fusions for all the decks and some miscellaneous cards, then there was Jaden, Aster and Chazz's decks all together as well and so on.

[@swong6190]

As a product, I find it really cool to get multiple nostalgic themed decks in one box. Great for a night with friends

[@Sektorwow]

The thing that u were confused about decks not being in order. They are actually in order just Fusion cards and some of those extras (koalas and other that u seen in that pile) were separate from decks themselves..

[@FloHallach]

Phil, it's just three decks in one of those wrappers - that's why you always monsters, then spells and then traps, before the next one started. Haha I know those cards aren't really worth anything neccesarily, but I really like the value of this box for nostalgic collectors and just being able to have diversity in what you can play quickly with friends.

[@danielgraham6004]

I think these boxes are nice because older players can have fun with them because of the nostalgia and it also allows the new players to start slowly and learn the basics without feeling completely lost

[@petarkostic9755]

Edit*: they are not mixed up they just go 1 deck after another, u oppened last one first so you got all fusions from all decks

[@undefiantfreedom3380]

Speed Duel is a fantastic little format, helps the nostalgia itch, and is really nice for playing with younger and more inexperienced players.

[@MTGUnpacked]

Thanks for opening this. Had no idea there were randomized packs along with the decks👍

[@dexrexauraus]

I think of the speed duel box sets as board games. So the annual updates aren’t bad. They’re more to play for fun without the need to buy packs or update decks or keep up with the constant updates.

[@heyitsthatdude17]

This box actually got delayed a few times which increased the gap in release from the Battle City box, but yeah it's a slow release. They're gonna do a new thing though where there's a half-box released halfway through the year, so the next update will be 6mo or something.

[@AshwinSelvakumar]

This product is really cool! This is the secret rare upgrade for my favourite card of all time- ancient gear golem. Ultimate ancient gear and all the cyber dragons are awesome too! In fact every single promo secret is awesome 😅

[@wawi911]

Perhaps I’m out of the loop, but why didn’t ancient gears come with poly? You’d think with a fusion boss monster, they’d need it? I haven’t played with the decks yet (and haven’t touched ancient gears since GX came out and I only owned the original)

[@MrLegion501st]

These Speed Duel products are great, because at the same time will be indirectly supporting Time Wizard and Common Charity formats providing old and common cards.

[@RandomGuyOnTheSreet]

Bought 3 to have a daft set to play on boardgame night with friends! Load of fun. The first packed you opened is all the extra deck mon and additional cards to make the decks stronger, also they are nods to other characters to in the show.

[@TJYLai]

Wow, never knew about this!!

[@jesusocasio2301]

GX is the best series for me and during that time I had the most fun buying cards and playing 😁💪 is always awesome looking at all those cards and remembering those good times 🙌

[@johnamielobediencia2593]

I Like how the speed duel products bringing back some of the old school gens like the og and the gx era.

[@Daprophet1]

I actually regret not buying this product i love the concept of speed duel

[@Kawaltski]

I got a battle city box last year and got all my friends into the game through speed duel, They absolutely love the format and I really like it too

[@Bujinnovation]

I love speed duels! I bought the battle city box and sleeved up the decks and keep it almost like a board game. It’s a fun way to teach people how to play Yugioh in a more simple format!

[@richardtracey5089]

As an old schooler may try this format. Those Secrets look awesome!!!

[@salazarslytherin2993]

I'm a big fan of the GX Speed Duel Box! That Secret Rare D.D. Warrior Lady looks amazing amongst many other great reprints.

[@sadboishauno]

Speed duel does bring back a lot of nostalgia with the character skill cards and themes based on them. Keen on the GX nostalgia coming

[@nicholashamilton6274]

As far as speed duel goes I'm not too into investing into it as a competitive game, but I really like the speed duel box sets for providing a simple table top version of the Yugioh experience. Having the decks in the box that are relatively close in power level to the each other means i can just break it out and play with friends when we want a break from constructed and break it out and play it with folks that don't want to invest in a card game. Having the option available is great. Really hope the decks in here don't blow the battle city ones out of the water in terms of strength so that they can be played together. Thanks for the content

[@kostasscott]

I really like the fast back to back duels I can play with my friends using the speed duel format. Also these secret rares look amazing.

[@Vashness653]

This product is really good because not only can you get some higher rarity of certain cards but also appeals to the nostalgia

[@rasenku2526]

I love the speed duel decks specifically having the characters cards from Anime/Manga.

[@j.birdie]

The Pack that had all the fusion monsters is just an assortment an extra deck monsters for ALL the characters as well as just some common staple cards

[@starsavage7250]

It's dope getting to see these awesome secret rares early, gets me hyped to have them in my collection

[@andrewd1927]

The speed duel format never really peaked my interest, but I like the decks and cards inside this new GX Duel Academy box. It sure brings back some fond memories.

[@drummerboii9047]

That product is amazing. Probably the coolest set for a beginner and those promo packs and rarity upgrades are amazing🤘

[@Awangatange]

GX was my favorite anime so its awesome to see them get their own box!

[@GhiLLi44]

I actually like this set. The secrets are really cool, cheap way for you to get the cards you grew up playing. Gx was also my favorite series.

[@fireblasst]

gotta love them rarity bumps! Floodgate trap hole is my favorite trap hole, so for sure gonna have to get them secret rares!

[@TheRealGridius]

Speed duels are fun with my friends who aren't as into the game as I am, but like playing this as it has some nostalgia+simpler cards and rules generally. These boxes especially are fun to play in a little tournament with friends!

[@rafaelsousa4709]

Speed Duel was a fresh air when it appeared, like Duel Links, simple and quick games.

[@christiantihey5154]

As a guy who is trying to get back into Yugioh after 15 years, these seem pretty great. Currently trying to learn the “original” game, but it’s a lot. I started buying again and watching your videos for the fun of opening packs, but now I wanna play! I bought Codebreaker and Space-time Showdown Super Starter Decks last night after opening a Battle of Chaos booster box and a bunch of Maximum Gold and Tin of Ancient Battles.

[@roscoe7035]

I'm an old school yu-gi-oh guy.. yu-guy.. and ran a jaden fusion deck on duel links way back when. So seeing these is a pretty awesome win-win! Not to me tonight those secrets POP! Especially rainbow dragon, cyber dragon and A.D lvl.7 🔥👌 Love what you bring, Rux! Especially as a new returner to YGO from the UK seeing these lesser known products 👊

[@lsuckatmakingnames]

The speed duel boxes are really cool in that they release new rarities of old cards! Like dd warrior lady, dasher, dekoichi etc

[@jobro5506]

Perfect description: pure nostalgia for low prices💪🏻

[@yeahthisisalex5681]

Products with guaranteed cards like decks but also have a random chance at rarity bumps are far and away my favourite kind of products. I hope they start doing the OCG structure deck thing where you can pull PSE cards that replace the common prints in the decks you buy

[@umb3rus108]

I generally like the idea of the speed duel boxes, less rng and stuff like that. I just hope that they keep it low with the powercreep

[@charliemoore7946]

This box is so fantastic. You get so many staples and good cards, with even some amazing secret rares and it's cheap.

[@MyloSkeng]

Haven't watched to the end yet, but I think some cards are messed up because you can mix them. From what I remember from the first Speed Duel box, on the back of the playmats it had lists of the possible deck combos so even if they are messed up you can refer to the lists and make the decks that were intended

[@Traackz0]

these products are so nostalgic with the decks that come with them. love them

[@facapone743]

i am not a big fan of speed duel, but this product isn´t that bad because it contains cool old secrets

[@b-boyflipper1841]

Whenever i tried out speed duel i had a lot of fun. Speed duel with friends or with people who are new to yugioh makes it really fun to play instead of talking forever to just do one attack.

[@iluvthecubs11]

I think a cool video idea would be to open legacy packs and keep a running tracker of completing the entire set(s) as you pull them over time. It could give more meaning and hype to pulling commons that you don’t have in your “set” yet. Keep up the great videos!

[@jonathonchappell]

Speed Duel got an errata back in like November so the format hasn't been entirely stale for a year

[@hi.im.luc4s]

Havent heard of speed duel before this vid, love the nostalgia it brings back.

[@chrisshorten4406]

I've not ever tried Speed Duels before. Those Secret Rare cards they included look beautiful!

[@mertkozal99]

I love GX era so I love this product! I want foil versions of HERO cards and Winged Kuriboh and this set have it!

[@andythelagger2722]

Loved this set mainly for the dekoichi secret reprint. There are also a lot of cool reprints as well, if you don't mind the speed duel text under the picture.

[@zawarudodestroyer]

I love Speed Duel because of its simplicity, non-stressful and nostalgia, however, as you said, it rarely gets new cards and updates. I love this GX set, it would be so much fun to play along with the Battle City set.

[@islamsameh8562]

Speed duel is pretty fun. Very nostalgic decks with anime like duels that u can pull out and have fun duels and tournaments

[@ArcticAppleKoolAid]

Actually like this product more than I thought I would. It's something I would collect bc it's cheaper and nostalgic

[@Tanukiyasha0]

"Imagine playing something and it never update for an entire year" GOAT Format would like to have a word with you.

[@timzinzel4896]

I really like the nostalgia of these and ease of play for some of us that don't play often

[@vinnyl1893]

I wish speed duels got more love, actually how I got back into collecting at the beginning of the pandemic.

[@Br0ken73]

I think its really good to have a format like this because it aims to the people who enjoy oldschool casual yugioh. They just want to take a deck and play a couple rounds. They dont look for format changes when the play like every couple months. For the more competitive players this is just a consistent reprint pack with some staples and rarety upgrades. I like it, to play with friends that enjoyed yugioh when we were children. So nice to have 😁

[@longlostlimit]

arent they meant to be used for a draft format

[@jir90635]

Do the secret rares say speed duel on the actual card ?

[@SupMamma88]

Yes, all cards that come in the speed duel boxes have “Speed Duel” on them

[@theyugiboi]

I'm in the military and I bought one of these boxes before I left and I got a bunch of dudes playing Yu-Gi-Oh out here! It's a cool product!

[@StarXIbb]

These are really nice. To get a secret rare version of these old cards is amazing

[@BananaSables]

Such a neat product, but I'm more excited about the paradox brothers addition.

[@macubing7318]

I think this is a great idea as it encourages people who don't play speed duels to get these packs for the nostalgia

[@DnisGTA]

I think the speed duel format and especially the boxes are pretty nice. It makes it easier to play with your friends, also because you technically only need one box. Btw the secret rares of this box are awesome! 🔥

[@frankozunic3229]

I would love to get the Armed dragon lv 7 secret rare. That is my favorite card ever 😍

[@joshyuwu7735]

i think the best thing about speed duels is there is no "offical" banlist for them which is nice so every card is at 3 essentally

[@Krispy33193]

I like that these products are both new cards for speed duels but also nice upgrades/reprints for the TCG

[@collinschroeder8791]

I’m excited about this box just for the volcanic cards and the elemental hero flame wingman lol. I love the volcanics. I built a deck online to play with my friend and it was so fun to use!
