Returning to Yu-Gi-Oh! New Elemental Heros & Regionals! A Yu-Gi-Oh Challenge! Week 10

After finding an incredible Yu-Gi-Oh community on KZbin and series such as Nyhmnims "Sealed Only Challenge" 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.
On the tenth episode of returning to Yu-Gi-Oh! we continue to make our Omni Hero deck as competitive as possible. In doing so we open some cards, throw both elemental hero liquid soldier and sunriser into the deck; these really help our vital combos. I also continue to make a sub-par side deck and we head off to my second regionals! These big road trips and tournaments are always the best. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy what I captured from yet another incredible week! Also, Mario started a brand new vlog and you can watch it here! • The Beginning: Yu-Gi-O...

I agree with you Nyhmnim, it wouldve been the Ultimate return to Yu-Gi-Oh! But the series isn't over yet and im sure he will get it. He has the drive and the passion. He is enjoying the game win or lose, and that's the most important thing. Though I must say, seeing him face off against Trif in a match would've been epic to see.

@Nyhmnim i wish to go to a reigional one day

[@Ruggles117]

Hey guys! I have to say, I really missed this. I think it’s been 20 or so days since the last upload and believe me, I couldn’t wait to get back to posting the series. I just wanted to make sure that the new episode was top quality and well, I think it turned into something really special. I really try to put a lot of extra effort into the videos covering regionals as they are road trips and well, memories I want to preserve in the best way possible. So again, lots of extra editing… this one probably took me a little over 40 hours. With that said, it was such a pleasure meeting so many of you guys on the 18th! Thank you for coming up and making me feel so special :) I got to meet a lot of great people, a lot of legends and the content creator behind Rouge to Glory. He made a pretty impressive first video which you can check out here kzbin.info/www/bejne/maXZkp6umtJ_gNE Also, this video has something new in the form of a heavy chat. I really wasn’t sure if I wanted to include it. I like positive atmospheres and I always want these videos to feel like a welcoming place… but at the same time I also felt like I had a responsibility to the other newer players, like myself to shed light on… well, something we will all probably have to deal with at some point. Let me know what you think of the segment. In the end, your opinion means a lot and I really do care what you have to say. I hope you enjoy this really special episode and hey, as per usual if you’re really enjoying all of the extra time that goes into the edits, sound mixing, montages, etc, consider giving the video a big like and sharing it with a friend… or on twitter… or on reddit. It all accumulatively makes a massive difference and I’m always super grateful :) -Ruggles

I thoroughly enjoyed the real talk segment, adds that bit of extra depth and realism to your videos. I really enjoyed this weeks episode. Keep up the great work, and remember your fans would rather you put out something amazing and that you're proud of as oppose to something that feels incomplete and mediocre. So just do what you've been doing and everything will work out great.

[@Andy4995]

Thanks to you for making such amazing videos! I liked the story a the end, were you want to give us the advice to watch out, it's really nice of you and honestly this story made me upset and a little bit angry too (but I don't want to be toxic now or something). I also had to do with such opponents and I just can't stand them, I even despise them for being so dishonest and doing everything they can just to win, in a childrens cardgame of all things. Either way you were really really sportsman like, nice, honest and respectful, so I hope for you to stay positive even though sometimes there are people like that.

I see a lot of comments about "Oh I would have called a judge.." and such, while yes he should have it is over now.

You can still be friendly and a good sport while making sure your opponent isn't taking advantage of your kindness.

Not having translations for a salad deck.... Man that was intentional. As a judge myself I'm definitely backing up the fact of "call a judge immediately when your opponent is doing something shifty." because there have been too many scenarios where I get approached after a match and asked questions that would have made a significant impact on the game.

It feels like it has been a month! I love this series so much.

[@haruhirogrimgar6047]

Also, the second someone said they don't have translations I would have called a judge. From what I know they can/should be DQ'd, my friend, didn't top a regional because a guy used a German Borrelsword/Striker deck and didn't have a translation for Borrelsword. Sure there is playing for fun or being a good sport. But there are a few people in Arizona that purposefully play decks made up of different languages so their opponents can't read and are sort of scummy. Getting them DQ'd helps everyone else.

[@yayup6840]

@@haruhirogrimgar6047 so your friend lost because he didn't know the effect of borrelsword.

[@haruhirogrimgar6047]

@@yayup6840 Because Borrelsword was new at the time and the guy was using an entire Striker Deck in another language and the deck wasn't super old yet. It takes a while to memorize every Striker Card's effects but he could have called the judge when the guy didn't have a translation for Sword. He knew generally what Sword and Striker cards did, but not the exact specifications which cost him some advantage here and there. The other guy was just being straight scummy with how he built his deck.

[@sorashirobara5016]

i'm glad you still had fun despite the guy who was being really iffy with his deck. having fun is the most important part

[@DidaciTheAlquemist]

I really appreciate you make that kind of talk where you spoke of your 9th round. Canada seems a nice place, but as a fellow player in Mexico, things are a lot different. I agree with your judge friends, specially because that player most probably was doing that kind of tricky thing during the whole tournament. I play Pend Endymion, and I speak all the effects as fast as I can and always ask if my opponent understands them. Before an event, if you have a doubt regarding an effect or ruling, ask around how is going to be ruled in that event. Always ask a Judge when in doubt, and if you get a wrong answer (Judges are human beings), get the head judge and verify. Never leave the flow of the match to your opponent, specially a guy like that.

Hey ruggles, just wanted to say a big thankyou for this series! I have always been into tcg's but have been on a hiatus of my own for quite a long time now. But after being suggested this series from a coworker and watching your content, it has really made me fall inlove with yugioh! Your content is so wholesome and so informative on the experience of playing yugioh as a returning/New player. I've only just picked up a few cards a couple weeks ago and am working on a deck for my first locals, watching this series has made me very keen for my journey into yugioh! Big thanks again ruggles!

Overall great videos, great editing, can't wait to see your next video.

[@Downtown_Andy]

I’m so glad you brought up that last round. At my locals every now and then guys would pull out foreign cards. Aside from that when I first started competing; unaware of a lot of card effects, I took the players’ word rather than take the time to read everything. I wanted to play and put my trust in their sportsmanship. That very well may have cost me some games here and there but at this point I’ll never know and we were playing for packs so losing doesn’t bother me. It’s a game we play for fun and a learning experience, and I’m far more educated now than I was. But thank you for echoing the importance of honor in this game.

[@rycavs13]

As a returning player I really appreciate this series, truly inspiring!

[@ThePORTAL62]

Life is simple I see new Ruggles video, and I drop whatever it is I'm doing and give it my full undivided attention

[@jovantrifunovic887]

Its my birthday and your vid just made it better thanks man!

[@osothegreat]

Amazing video! I like the serious talk! Your videos are so well put together and they have such a welcoming feel. I appreciate all the time you put into them and I don't care if they're not out consistently, the quality and personal feel are worth the wait. Thanks for everything you do! Keep it up! Plus, you play Heros like me. :)

This is the kind of content i like to watch in youtube.

[@kaisuzugamori4173]

Another great video and loved how much help you had.

[@wombiez]

[@dannywoning4559]

hey man Danny from the Netherlands here I started playing yu-gi-oh again in a bleak time at the moment i have a red ayes deck okay for local but otherwise but it is beautiful because it comes from my past I like how you make your videos really fun to watch keep it up greetings from the Netherlands

[@Ruggles117]

Hey Danny! Greetings from Ontario, Canada! Red Eyes is definitely a really nostalgic card for a lot of us. It should also get a lot better when we get Dragun of Red-Eyes in the TCG :)

[@MrUnamazing]

Production quality is top notch. Love your vids man.

[@Letalizz]

Love this series so much, this coming february I'll attend my second ycs ever, ycs Utrecht, hope to have as much fun as you seemed yo have at the regionals, meeting new people, chatting and having fun 😁

[@mikabae]

You’re getting better and better, so proud of you! 🥳 The heavy talk was really unique for your videos and it was a fine example of what other people may go through, and how they should’ve handled it. Thanks for sharing that 🤧 Been following you and Mario’s series since you guys started uploading and it’s been such a pleasure. Can’t wait for the next episode! 💕

[@htrx98]

Thank you for the great content Ruggles. Keep us up on these heavy topics people deserve to know and should learn when to call a judge to avoid getting cheated. Looking forward to the next video

[@fernandodealmeidaraasch9032]

U had a really good atitude towards that one person who was acting in a rude way. Congrats for acting the right, not letting that bother your entire day. Besides that, thx for the judge advice. I really enjoy your Channel, Man. God bless and all the best. Ygo player from Brazil here 🤜🏼🇧🇷🇨🇦

[@MrBOBBYbeaverEATR]

Loved the real talk was so true, don’t be afraid to call a judge if your not sure if what’s happening is proper. Great editing as always

[@baaauniverse]

i always wait for these to come out! genuinely look forward to them every week :)

[@Ruggles117]

Thanks man! I appreciate how patient you are with these and well... me. I do intend on making this series truly weekly again :)

[@baaauniverse]

@@Ruggles117 take your time! I think we all appreciate the effort you put into these with editing and content, even b roll. can't wait for the next one.

[@CCYGO]

i did an install for internet for a business in that building with mario's shop!! , i always love seeing bui, i come from Peterborough, ive known that man for a very long time! glad you had a good time at regionals!!

[@jamesbowman3034]

Just about to watch the video and I’m already hyped about this episode. I saw every episode thus far. You are truly an inspiration sir! Keep it going and thank you for everything!!! 😃💪

[@dimitricornon4442]

Oh boy, I am French and I am sorry for you dude! I guess this just happens sometimes. To be honest, it happened to me once or twice in my local shop, even if most people are very kind and helpful towards new players like me. But I will always remember this one guy, in my first "bigger" tournament. It was a qualifier, at a shop, for a bigger tournament. Round 1, he plays pendulum, and it was the first time for me facing it. He just went through his entire deck, me trying to read but he went so fast that I almost couldn't respond or play anything. After destroying me 2/0, he just left without saying a word. All of this match had the same pretense that I was a new player and wanted a friendly game... Some people just want to win. Thanks for sharing this story, it is also important to know and show that those behaviors DO exist. I want to reiterate that the large majority of people are super nice.

[@44883]

I always like your videos before watchig them because I already know they will be awesome. I also play Heros but I dont have the vision hero cards yet and cannot get my hands on them anywhere. Thank you for providing these high quality videos and sorry for my bad english. : ) I am always looking forward to your videos.

[@manicfacez]

First video I watch from your channel and I really enjoyed it. Subscribed!

[@Trillkage]

he had translations there is no way he played 9 rounds without anyone asking for them

[@gorsedh]

We usually don't carry them, i usually google them in a couple of seconds if they ask me, and while i am searching i explain the main points of the effect

[@tinsaus5498]

@@gorsedh Pretty sure you're not allowed to be on a phone during a match.

[@gorsedh]

@@tinsaus5498 obviously it's only for keeping track of lifepoints, gamestates and searching for cards. Judges don't complain as long as it is a fair use and also is in the interest of the opponent to let you do that since finding physically the proxy with translation actually takes more time and in some cases can be manipulated

[@tinsaus5498]

@@gorsedh Figured it'd be for fair use but I'd make sure to be cautious. It is something that is frowned upon at events ike these for sure. Just a heads-up. :)

[@gorsedh]

@@tinsaus5498 yeah i hate cheaters for this specific reason, make the game more difficult for all the other players

[@Noctis_Versus]

Awesome vid as always! I definitely agree that people should not be shy when it comes to calling a judge if necessary. Just don’t be a jerk and explain the reason for the judge call to your opponent. If there is a reason that can be changed where you’re not enjoying ANY game then you have the right to question that! Have fun everyone!

rolls out popcorn, turns on fire place, blasts 4k tv. show time bois.

*Considers filming these in 4K just for you* *Realizes my computer will actually die attempting to render it* *Looks forward to an upgrade which will bring you those 4K montages* One day I'll have something special just for you ;)

[@kLewandowski]

Again great video, loved the chat in the middle of the video, should definitely do more like it 😌

[@Destro0913]

Can’t wait for the next video man don’t take so long I love your content

[@julianscards1998]

As always Ryan I loved the video ! Sucks that happened to you :/ but still you had fun and went really far for just coming back to yugioh ! Congrats man ! Hope you get to go to more events !!!

[@metalgearsolidfan11]

Man great video again! Now have the urge to go drive 2-3 hours for a regional again with buddies. Gotta wait 2 weeks now. Glad you learn about calling judges. I constantly preach to my newcoming players who want to compete a large event to rely on judges at the slightest of doubt they have on certain scenarios. Whether its about card rulings or behavior of a certain individual. Would love to see you get an invite to Nats. It would be great meeting you there.

[@phillipwhite7850]

I might be wrong but I think knoami's rules require you to hav translations if u hav any foreign cards in your deck. But dude you are such a good person. U get cheated but the way you dealt with it was so inspiring. You stayed positive, you took it as a lesson. It's really good

[@dacouncil7184]

Great video like always I enjoy those real talk time
