[@LouisTheRavenheart]

I love structure deck duels! Especially character-based ones. This is honestly the pace duels should always be - so much more interesting and fun with variety.

[@dx7gaming]

This is a heavily edited and possibly setup duel. We do duel videos as well and recently are working on Spirit Charmers vs Sacred Beast and we've recorded at least 50 real duels so far and they all are very long (the decks are not balanced, and Sacred Beast structure deck is a brick). So we're going to have to setup the decks a bit to make the viewing experience better! PS: I agree - structure deck duels are fun and expose you to a lot of new strategies and possibilities. Team APS does a really good job. If these are raw duels (non-setup) I wonder how many times they recorded before they settled on these three duels

It might be boring to play for you guys, but these games are the perfect pace to watch casually.

[@personpersonal5756]

[@Accion_y_Pasion]

The craziest thing is... I got back into yugioh and I got these two structures not knowing how older they are and they kinda made me feel bad but seeing you guys play with them makes me feel better

[@Accion_y_Pasion]

@@RuudAwakening thanks bruh. Still trying to get over the fear of going to local shops and trading and dueling but I’m sure I’ll get there

[@RuudAwakening]

@@Accion_y_Pasion Ey man, may I ask how old you are? In different ages you have different ways of connecting with people who play the game. Like in middle school I learned Magic the Gathering and in the local game shop of the small town I lived. We would see each other at school, in the shop, and went to concerts and festivals together. This means you can meet people who play the games you play in several places, and grow friendships with them because you hang out in more than one place and share more than 1 interest. (during COVID and lockdowns going around, it is different of course, but keep these things in mind for when the possibilities appear) You might also reach out to friends or maybe even family that might be interested in playing the game. People are way more at home and bored right now. Learning a cardgame and having fun one-on-one might be perfect to kill time and have fun (while even training your brain btw!). College age is kinda the same. If your more the 'adult and working age', other possibilities present themself. More money available and being able to drive makes it possible to search your cardgame friends further from home. Search on facebook for example. Type in YuGiOh and your town/region/... and see what pops up. My experience is that you rather have a nice community, than a nearby community. I'd say try out what's available to you right now. Cause these are crazy times and people just NEED some social connection.

[@RuudAwakening]

PS: don't be afraid to switch plans when you feel like it's the better thing to do For example in my community the Magic the Gathering players are more my kind of people than the YuGiOh players. Starter decks are often cheap or free for several card games I know. Good luck man!!

[@Accion_y_Pasion]

@@RuudAwakening I’m in college and I was in it at the very very very very beginning of it but for money reasons could ask my parents for cards now I got that freedom and money to start it. Thanks man

[@majunior1233]

@@Accion_y_Pasion if your looking for a more modern structure deck to start with, I highly recommend the one called “Shaddoll Showdown”. Shaddolls in general are really good as a budget deck and the structure deck comes with all the cards you need to start if you buy 3 (since each is $10, 3 would be $30 but its always better to buy 3). If you want another really cheap option, the “Tenyi” archetype is extremely cheap and good for a budget beginner’s deck. You could always look up decklists online and join either Team APS’s discord (or any other yugioh one), and they’ll help you make the deck. Hope this helps :)

[@jwill0438]

APS is just such a wholesome channel, sumn you can jus sit and watch when you’re tired and just relax, one of my new favorite channels, keep it up guys

Holy cow! Paul had the BEST opening turn during game 2. That was what dreams were made of when that structure deck came out.

[@lilandre6216]

I found that Blue Eyes White Dragon at a local Walgreens two weeks ago, the box was in a really bad shape but everything inside was picture perfect (nice to see that the deck is pretty good)

[@Justin_Case1432]

Just recently got back into Yugioh and I found the Blue Eyes deck in Target too. I solely bought it because it had some of the OG cards in it. Might not be the best to duel with, but I enjoy the nostalgia.

[@GamesbyMarcWolff]

Paul, I think this might be the best duel you've edited so far. Love that we can see the lifepoints and all the card edits are great. You guys all do awesome work. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@dragonlordofchaos]

Despite my love for Blue-Eyes (and just dragons in general) I went into this video fully expecting HEROs to win because I know how good they can be. Honestly I was a bit shocked, but I loved how they both played. It just felt fun. GG to both decks, and GG to these gentlemen for their outstanding performance.

[@aguy6022]

What about a duel "old vs new" structure decks? Like, i don't know, endymion vs the heroes or something like that. Just to see if the old decks could have a chance against the new cards. That said, very interesting duel.

[@NovusIgnis]

The only new decks that old structure decks might have a chance against is pendulums and synchros. Otherwise, xyz and link monsters just have way too much flexibility and useful effects for the slower older decks.

[@invertedillusions]

Saga of Blue-Eyes was my first structure deck I got like a year or two ago and my collection has grown since.

[@issacassad2004]

I just got 3 hero strike

[@spicyboi8146]

Same

[@kingvire]

It’s because both structure decks were reprinted in 2019

[@RoggaFigga13]

Saga Blue eyes has gotten several reprints in the past several years too so they’re widely available compared to other structure decks. Funny enough, just a couple weeks ago I saw the yugioh section at my target empty except for 1 old discounted link structure deck and about 10 mint looking Saga of Blue Eyes structure decks.

[@hightidekraken]

My Target has some of the most random SDs but they have a BILLION Sacred Beasts SDs that apparently no one is buying or they just keep restocking

[@minecraftWithDanielD]

I thought something looked off about those blue-eyes cards. Cause it wasn’t until VRAINS that levels and Attributes also became holographic, so that’s why I was thrown for a spin and I assumed they were unlimited editions. Guess I was right

[@littledyu-gi-oh3580]

Koga was actually mistransleted from the ocg to the tcg and that was later fixed with an errata in a later tournament pack : THE STAT DECREASE IS UNTIL THE END PHASE

I'm very happy that you still make duels like this. Just like in the old times of Yu-Gi-Oh!. The Blue-Eyes deck was actually pretty well-built I think.

How am I only recently finding you folks? I love the interactions you have with the camera and you taking the time to explain card effects clearly. I'm an older player, and got out of the game around the time XYZ's started coming in the game.

12:59 - It was at this point, Alec made a game changing mistake... He should have protected Dark Law and bounced Azure Eyes. But he wanted to be cute and add a card from GY to hand, instead of control the field to win. 🤦‍♂️

[@zacharypopowski7663]

He couldn't have bounced azure-eyes since it's protection was still up. I do still agree with you however, he should've held on to the card, taken one turn of damage, then pop it next time Paul attacked to swing the game for sure

[@DomnulFisk1]

But isn't the effect of Azure Eyes cover Luster Dragon too. So none of them could have been targeted?

[@DomnulFisk1]

Or is the "currently control" part specifically only targeting dragons that are in the filed at the time Azure is summoned?

[@zacharypopowski7663]

@@DomnulFisk1 exactly, that's what I was getting at in my comment. Luster dragon was summoned after the protection eff already went through, so it doesn't get the benefit, since it wasn't on the field yet

@@shadowspector3611 Gotcha. I know there are a lot of “hidden rules” so to speak, that aren’t actually “written out” for the players to learn. The main reason I was confused is bc most cards that can’t be used during damage step, physically state so on the card.

@@shadowspector3611 That's literally not true, what are you talking about?

I’m pretty sure that while effects not modulating attack can’t be triggered in the damage step by themselves, negates can be chained in response to those effects even in the damage step. Someone can correct me if they have a source.

Eduards Gercāns: of course it's true. While the damage step is a wreck to understand, the only thing that can be activated in it are things that change attack and defense and spell speed 3 negates.
