OPENING Every 2002 Yugioh Starter Deck & DUELING With Them!

[@Ruxin34]

Dueling misplays/mistakes 15:10 Trap Master was destroyed by Sangan, when it should have survived with 1100 defense

dude seriously the talking in the background is super low production quality even for you

[@CVZKING]

So using the rush recklessly play.. could your opponent still die from that? Thought it was supposed to be like a replay when activating a quick play. And your opponent can decide whether they will continue to attack

[@holypriests12]

@@CVZKING Quick plays during damage step will not allow a retake. However, a spell/trap can only be activated during damage step if it affects the damage calculation, i.e, changing atk/def of a monster. The plays were valid and a retake is not possible.

[@CVZKING]

@@holypriests12 Thanks! I always heard both yes and no for the quick play rule. I was trying to understand

[@alanguyaz6843]

18:11 Your friend didn't do a normal summon/set yet (only special summoned the Gearfried) but was deducted 500 LP when he set the monster after activating Ultimate Offering. But I guess ultimately it wasn't too game-changing cause Neo's 1700 ATK > 1400 LP.

[@Poetic_Justice92]

I have all 4 of these decks. The only 2 that are still together though are my Pegasus and Joey decks. The other 2 I dismantled years ago but I still have all the cards from them. I prefer this era of Yugioh because you didn't sit there and watch your opponent draw their entire deck in one turn until they OTK you. Yugioh has lost a lot of its fun because of that.

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

The luck factor was definitely much more fun back in the day

[@Benderofdemise]

Yes it was way better. Battle city were the days.

[@theflipper404]

I mean back in the day people still just ran 3 Gemini elf and then eventually 3 Alexandrite Dragon lol. Also cards like Last Will were annoying lol.

They are so classic man

[@Zenkai_ver]

Hey Joey wheeler

[@unknownuser9715]

i love watching the classic slow duels that lasted more than 2 turns

[@DeathLacooda]

That's still less time than the modern 2 turns duels 😌

[@unknownuser9715]

@@DeathLacooda yeah the meta is a bit more then 'i summon battle ox in attack position and end my turn' lmao

[@powerfulberry237]

@@unknownuser9715 these were starter decks back then too. Stop this stupid clownery of "this was how yugioh was back then!" when yugioh meta back then didn't literally played with STARTER DECKS in fucking tournaments

I remember going to the store and seeing a whole bunch of those starter decks hanging in the display

YUGIOH can still be this ; ) You dont have to play modern decks, just play casual with friends... they are stronger yes but im back into YuGiOH since 2005 because these original 4 starter decks!!! YUGIOH: Enter The Shadow Realm is the GOAT.

[@drpow6244]

I only buy old starter and structure decks or decks that dont have the new mechanics to keep it simple. I think its more fun like that. If both players use old weak but fun decks then its all good.

[@JakCollects]

Now this is proper Yu-Gi-Oh 🔥

[@nm2358]

I feel like Indiana Jones when folks open these things, my mind shouting, "THESE BELONG IN A MUSEUM!" as people open these up.

[@mikegreen2701]

That second duel was honestly epic..so much nostalgia for what dueling used to be like. I gotta say though I laughed when your buddy fell for Relinquished like everyone used to do in the anime 😂

[@Ruxin34]

LOL it was an anime moment😂😂😂

[@matthewlovato9574]

Loved it reminds me of being a kid buying these decks and dueling with friends🙌🙌

Epic🔥 nice to see something different than the packs.

[@Ruxin34]

Thank you😎

[@torpid]

Yup, seeing some movie packs would be cool tho

[@rondom5581]

You are really the most hardcore yugioh opener I have ever seen :D. I mean other chanels would open like one 2002 tin or one 2002 starter deck but you do all of them. And it is quiet fun to watch, subscribtion follows!

I didn't even know the starter decks came out after they switched from magic to spell cards. Interesting!

[@Ruxin34]

Yeah, the DMG came out basically a year and a half later with both inside and the Paladin promo

[@mafiakickproductions]

I remember opening multiples of these starter decks for my birthday/Christmas and honestly wish I kept one sealed lol!

[@Brocklesnarf5]

Seriously though i've seen it asked, how do you fund all these old openings? Its good info for someone hoping to try to do this themselves. Is it sustainable do you have a budget? Would be cool to even see a video on it.

[@drynnbavis]

It's 100% loss every time. Given his views/subs he probably doesnt profit much from youtube revenue after subtracting the cost of the product.

[@felixro5884]

He said in a video couple of weeks ago that pretty much all he spends on Yugioh comes from Yugioh which is not too far fetched. Once you got a decent cardpool and trade smart it can pay for itself

[@drynnbavis]

@@felixro5884 Smart trading and large card pools still don't help with the fact that selling singles is a very arduous process. 99% of the time big names like this either open their own store and sell to fans (e.g. simply unlucky) or just sell what they dont want at an arranged discount to bigger collectors. Put simply, the time required to make the individual ebay/tcg-player listing to sell these for their full value isn't worth it. That time is better spent for these guys to just crank another video out. Opening product is always PURE loss. People do it for fun. Anyone telling you you can make money from it is delusional lol.

Still scratching my head to this day as to why they put gryphon wing in starter deck pegasus. Especially as a super rare.

[@Ruxin34]

Ik right

[@213byron]

Making Toon World a Super Rare would’ve made more sense

[@gamingxmachina6718]

Oh my god I remember both of theese, I had them with my older brother and we used to play like the anime, not the actual rules. We were young then so...we didnt actually read the rule books. So when we first saw battle city arc were like Man you gotta sacrifice for monsters now bummer. To clarify i mean Yugi and Kaiba, though I did get joey's later on, never got pegasus one though. Now I know you always had to do that lmao. And that lifepoints were 8k not 2k or 4k.

[@jamalgumbs7518]

Good to see a back and forth, something I would like to see more in modern decks. Also: Relinquished was very strong in the early days of the game, can't help but feel it should've been lv 12 and not lv 1.

Would love to see more duels like this. The second duel was really long and fun. Throwback Thursday special.

[@DAMNS70]

Man... I remember the first time I came to the U.S to visit Disneyland in FL and came across a shop that was selling these decks. This was around 2002-2003. My parents bought me Joey’s deck, and while it sucked, it still held sentimental value to this day haha. I was just happy I got the Red-Eyes and even though I couldn’t read English, I didn’t care 😂

[@dave93x]

I've been on a nostalgia trip and watching the openings of Yu-Gi-Oh cards. Was hoping to buy the starter decks back but I never really thought that they wouldn't be made anymore, or how expensive they'd be. Makes me sad because I'd love to buy them all back.

[@slamsoze]

I don't know if it helps, or can make you feel any better, or make me feel idiot. I had every starter and structure deck from Yugi Starter deck 2002 up to Master of Pendulum Structure Deck, plus Tins, Specials and tons of individual cards, all 1st EDITION. In a moment of craziness, i sold them out 2 years ago, in a very humiliating price, cause i didn't know how the market does work. I learned it in the hard way, when i decided to buy again what have i sold. :(

[@dave93x]

@@slamsoze damn I'm sad to hear that. I was looking it all up and you can buy these gold boxes of reprints(?) with stuff like the Egyptian God cards etc in there too. Might pick them up at some point, but those will probably go up in price eventually too

Ooh men this is nostalgic, I used to have joe’s deck and it was amazing to play with my friends back in the school what a nice old days :)

It's so much fun to see this old school Yugioh game. It feels so good compared to the new meta and pace of the game. Really cool video

[@holypriests12]

Awesome video! I do wish the camera angle was top down instead of at an angle, just a nitpick though, something to consider for the future. Also, for viewers who might not know all the card effects, having a graphic popup of the cards being summoned or activated would help a lot.

[@Ruxin34]

Thank you! My stand doesn’t really go top down unfortunately. I don’t have a great set up for this

I haven’t played this game in a long time but I’m pretty sure you can monster reborn cards in your opponents graveyard right? I think he used it to get a gearfried instead of a summoned skull in game 1.

[@Pixiesfairiedust]

Yeah for some reason I believe this as well, but one of my friends told me you can’t do that... maybe they took out that rule later on and we’re just really old school idk. I think I remember being able to do that in one of the Yugioh Gba games.
