If you guys enjoyed the video, SLAM the like button and subscribe for more videos! :) NOTE: THIS IS RECORDED AT YCS DALLAS, BEFORE THE NEW OCTOBER BANLIST. AGARPAIN IS STILL LEGAL. There WILL be ONE more episode of Sealed-Only Season 1, a wrap up where we review the totals of everything we purchased and a look back! See you guys next week! :))

[@TheLovelyMedusa]

You keep saying "Season 1" and I feel like that can only mean there's a "Season 2" at least potentially. Otherwise this would just be "wrapping up Sealed-Only Yugioh". Right? Maybe I'm overthinking this but I really hope I'm right.

[@miltonarijr]

Let me offer you a different aproach to this sealed only challenge, I called it survival mode. Similar at the actual format, the survival mode you start with 100 bucks and... Thats it, you decide what to buy, but the income must come from the cards you pull, the restrictions are that: You must use at least 2 structures, and the cards from the structures cannot be sold. The other cards that comes from other products are allowed to sell, except duel devastator products (still too meta and highly requested, so we limit the income by completely shutting it down). To make a card sellable you mus have at least 1 copy with you, that card cannot be selled if its your first card you pulled

[@sacreddelta1663]

Man, when that first episode came out, when I first found out about you from my KZbin feed after watching TeamAPS, Dzeef, Cimoo, that first episode hooked me. I was interested to see how your journey would begin, while I was finding my way back into the game I loved. You started from the bare bones, to this milestone. I don’t care that you didn’t too YCS, you did a phenomenal job and you inspired other people to try a Sealed Only journey as well. Watching this entire series was like meeting someone for the first time and watching them grow into something more. I was so looking forward to this episode and, as always, I was sad to see the video finish but so happy to see your progress. Also, love the editing by the way. Paints a picture of where you are so nicely, the camera angles were dynamic, great choices in spots to film. Kinda wonder if you were a productions major in college, then again you’ve been blogging for a long time so, who knows? Anyway, thanks for uploading this episode, cannot wait for the season finale...man that was depressing to say lol

[@boopsnoot2807]

The journey that this went on was really fun to watch. You started with three structure decks and built a deck that was able to kick some butt. And honestly, your resolve to keep trying even when you didn’t get the card you needed/wanted is what impressed me the most. This has inspired me to get back into YuGiOh and actually to build a deck again. So thanks my dude!

[@jtspeed19]

This series started around the time I was first getting back into the game. I can't stress enough how well done these videos have been. How you were able to throw 3 different kinds of YugiTubing (pack openings, deck building, and competitive duels) is honestly amazing and I cannot thank you enough for deciding to fully invest your time and money into this. I think I can legitimately say this series got me back into Yugioh

YuGiOh Sealed Only Arc 1: Every Journey Has A Beginning YuGiOh Sealed Only Arc 2: The Comeback The power of storytelling is amazing and this series had it downpat. Every story beat was there, the beginnning arc, the rising action and eventually the climax with the falling action and unfortunate resolution in this episode. You have captivated me with this series. My only hope is that you continue it when the time comes around again, but why is that? Well for everyone its different but my number one reason is because although these were a series of vlogs and duels, i thought of it as a TV show and a story i wanted to write at some point. This series is literally the evolution of a YuGiOh player, but with a handicap. Gage, if you ever read this comment, thank you for doing this series and stay amazing. You are talented as hell for being able to naturally throw narrative into YuGiOh of all things. Have a damn good one.

Hey, just wanted to say congrats on getting to YCS. I'm a Magic player that left yugioh back when Shadoll Construct was popping off. Haven't realy paid much attention to the deck, so when I saw "a sealed only deck" for ygo, I was immediately hooked. As a deckbuilder for Magic, I understand the feeling of digging through different products to find the ONE piece I need, back when I didn't know better (single > product 100%). I do respect you for playing though, and I think it's really cool that you made it that far. I sometimes think back on all my history with the game, and sometimes miss it, but I enjoy the gameplay for Magic more, but when you left that little ditty at the end of the video, I thought back on all the fun I've had playing card games. So thanks man, and again, congrats on making it all the way to YCS.
