Returning to Yu-Gi-Oh! GOING FOR A 1ST PLACE FINISH (S2 #2)

After finding an incredible Yu-Gi-Oh community on KZbin and series such as Nyhmnims "Sealed Only Challange" as well as Revzcards "Yu-Gi-Oh from scratch" I felt wildly inspired to step back into the trading card game after a 10 year hiatus.
This however is not a sealed only channel. I will be re-building my competitive decks and collections primarily through singles. Shout out to Cimoooo.
This second episode features us attempting to make the previously played Hero deck a lot more competitive, gathering the pieces to build a couple of Edison decks and working towards winning our second local tournament back. If you enjoy the video and appreciate all of the effort consider subscribing and sharing this new channel with a friend who also enjoys Yu-Gi-Oh! It would mean a lot.

Hey guys! I hope you enjoy the second video of our adventure 😊 I wanted to touch on two things that I forgot to mention in the video! The first is well... a misplay, of course lol In match 1 game 1 I should have summoned Acid under Wonder Driver on Jim's turn. It's one of those things where you notice it IMMEDIATELY after but it happens. Though, it's only week two so I think it's reasonable that little misplays like this still occur. ALSO, This was filmed pre-BODE. You'll see the cards from that set in the next episode. I'm also trying the Discord thing again! I want to get some games in with the community throughout the weeks. If you're interested jump in and have some fun with us discord.gg/r8rUMk8k55

@@awesometubing9471 Hey man! You can find a lot of the decks combos in this post: facebook.com/groups/NKRT.YGO/posts/1505525486513598 I don't currently have a list for this meta but it would probably look something like this... with different cards in the flex spots facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10224593724221944&set=gm.1515865732146240 I would try Crossouts in the main as Imperm on Auroradon literally makes the deck pass. If that doesn't work well in testing I'd heavily consider Droplet and DRNM in the main. Board breakers almost seem necessary this format. Those are my initial thoughts. Hope they help!

I've definitely been more interested in formats like Edison lately. It's refreshing to play games with a lot of diversity and lower ceilings.

Man feels like Ruggles always has the best timing just got home and had the notification pop. Haven’t watched it but I know it’ll be a good one!

[@JRBjobber]

What a great episode! I love the deck build! Looks really scary to play against 😬 Big congratulations to you, and I hope to see more continued success ❤️

When we playing Edison? - also I was gonna watch this on stream but I couldn’t wait. LOL - keep it up king I enjoy this so much

Same boat with returning, but wanted to wait till the new season and sets dropping so i guess I'll be getting back into it this coming up format. got an albaz structure deck to get the feel of it but man its been years!

Your video quality is outstanding! Keep up the great work.

Started playing yugioh with my friend and it's been so much fun learning and actually playing. Def want to try a local next.

[@bloodoblivion787]

Your videos give me the feels thanks for your content i dont play yugioh just watch it on youtube and you are one of my favorite yugitubers.

[@Jtblake]

Great video as always. Glad to hear the rust is coming off and that you got back-to-back local wins. Really cool your friend is also returning to Yu-Gi-Oh! and I hope you, Mario and him can find as much fun in it as possible. Can't wait for next episode with Burst of Destiny coming out soon, Phoenix Enforcer is gonna make waves, especially in HERO's. Keep up the great work.

[@hmafussel94]

dang im so jealous of your community there. wish i had locals in my area but im not complaining. i get to enjoy your videos haha

Oo episode 2 let's go! Legit i saw the notification after I finished my college uni lessons for the week so good time and something to enjoy. I'm so hyped for more RUGGLES content.

Yoooo I needed this to help pass time at work! Keep it up Ruggles, I love the content! Seeing videos like this makes me want to make a blog about my progress in competitive yugioh. Using it as way to spread the joy and help myself get better plus improve my writing.

My day has been a little rough today, until i saw this video it made my day good. 🙂

[@TheFreakoSuave]

EDISON please! I watch all these videos just for you and the amazing quality content you produce, but I understand nothing of modern as I don't play it myself. It would be amazing to watch Returning to Edison, knowing all the decks and cards. Keep up the great work and positive vibes, and if you ever need any decks or testing or anything else with Edison, I'm here! Even got a fire e-hero list for you ;)

[@jinta4291]

If I were John, i would get goosebumps watching that Outro. Best Yugituber, keep going!

best yugioh content on the platform by FAR!!

[@aaroncopeland9675]

Konomi loves your content so much they reprinted Adusted Gold in Brothers of Legend haha keep up the awesome videos!

[@thk573]

Hey Ruggles, really enjoyed the video and felt I needed to point something out that I noticed! When you double-sleeve your cards, make sure the opening of the inner sleeve is at the bottom of the outer sleeve. This actually ensures that the seal you want from double-sleeving is there and will keep the card safe from moisture, dirt and whatever else might try to damage the card. It's also the only legal way that Konami policy lets us double-sleeve cards so if you go to an in-person event (when restrictions are lifted), it'll keep you from getting a Marked Cards - Minor infraction if you end up getting deck-checked!

[@David13579]

Definitely one of my favourite series on KZbin Great video!

The Despia package is really cool. It gains advantage, puts extra damage on board and has nice synergy. We have a couple guys trying the deck at our locals and randomly finding 5 fusion monster boards while walking around is always a treat 😂

[@FoggyMemoryProductions]

Glad you're still doing well with Heroes. Great video. Also I recently bought a box of Synchro Storm and ended up with pretty much all the pieces to build lyrilusc. Looks really fun but trying to decide on a build. I think I want to lean away from Tri-Brigade lyrilusc just because I only have the 1 Tri-Brigade engine and I'm using that with Harpie's. So any good suggestions. Not Ruggles specifically but anyone who knows the deck well enough to offer a hand.

Your Editing is always amazing! and I hope to come to mario's locals in the near future!

Are you trying to properly double sleeve or just have a sleeve inside another? Cuz I saw that both of the openings were at the top.

I would love to see a Edison format duel between you and Mario that probably the best idea you had since I started watching your videos you should totally do that

[@thejoycoffin5615]

I wish Yu-Gi-Oh went back to 2017 - 2018 where any deck was actually playable right before banlist and endless combos were achieved. It felt like the coolest glitch

I am not a competitive player, i am more of a casual player, but i love the way your videos are made and they start to turn on the fire on me to return, but the prices are too spicy :(.
