Returning to Yu-Gi-Oh! We Fixed our Omni Hero Deck & Topped! A Yu-Gi-Oh Challenge! Episode 4

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 fourth episode covers how we fix our competitive hero deck with some additional staples and continue to build a competitive pendulum deck. We also add some interesting tech cards to our side deck and I enter in my fourth week of Yu-Gi-Oh! tournaments. 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.

I remember when i was 14ish and they previewed stardust dragon for the tins before 5ds started. It was and still is the most beautiful and gorgeous card i saw. I gravitated to it immediately. I got my dad to take me to walmart that weekend to buy it. I was so happy when i got home and pulled it out. I tried to fit it into every deck that i had. It remains my favorite yugioh card to this day. And it's the last thing i own that i would give up. I quit yugioh when links were introduced because i felt like it destroyed what i liked about yugioh but you inspired me to give them a chance. I decided to go with a 50 card rokket/borrel deck so i picked up 3 rokket starter decks to get back in and i'm aiming to get my 2 savage dragons soon. I also hope to fit my stardust dragon into the deck once it's finished. Thanks for the videos and inspiration. Here's to hoping you place 1st soon.

I most often watch videos that talk about how people think specific cards are ruining the game, how it's hard for players on a budget and issues with the secondary market. A lot of us are bored of deck profiles, meta discussions and market watches. YOU give us a different perspective on this game and it makes me so happy watching your videos for the past month. Keep making incredible content. We love you Ruggles.

[@The_Real_Ryan]

Yay, I’m early this time 😊 I’m actually taking my hero deck to locals tomorrow. Wish me luck 😄 Edit: you could play 1 of those generic link-2s that I told you about in a previous video. The unfortunate part of super poly is that it locks you out of cross crusaders effect, but if you had a generic link-2 like beat cop or lambda (preferably lambda for higher attack) you could get some fusion monsters on the field 👍 Edit 2: gren maju is an interesting matchup for heroes. Honestly I really don’t know the best way to beat it, but I would max out on the lanceas against it, and I would try to out resource it while trying to avoid being otk’d. Once they run out of resources (which is fast), I feel like they can’t do much.

[@evcurls416]

Ruggles they are an otk deck so for sure make them go first. The best they can do is make the titanic xyz that negates one spell. Also malicious bane is a nasty card against them too. If you go first, summon bane in def mode since it can’t be destroyed by battle or card effects so it puts them in an awkward situation to get over it.

[@redridondo1202]

Ever considered streaming? Thought it might be enjoyable to playtest your deck on platforms like duellingbook or ygopro vs viewers and such. Just a suggestion and dont want to be overbearing or inconsiderate towards your schedule :).

[@s0nicblade353]

This whole video is honestly so pure and embodies everything I love about this card game, fun and community. I've recently just jumped back in myself with Heroes, and I love how you're tackling the return as a big learning experience. You got me hooked, can't wait to see where you go!

[@Ruggles117]

Thanks man! Awesome that you also picked up heros. It's honestly such a fun deck!

[@wndy2717]

But did you get bane tho?

[@Ruggles117]

*Cries*

[@m0ncherii]

F

[@jennaeasley2277]

I’m loving this series. It’s so wholesome and heartwarming.

[@RobPMed94]

Day 453: yeah still no Bane.

[@Ruggles117]

At that point I've ordered like 12 and none of them have come in yet lol

[@wisedigitaldesigns1193]

This is honestly one of the best channels I've come across. And to see you just started out, kudos to you man! Loving how you are really going with the heroes. Very nostalgic!

[@arthuriv7938]

LET'S GOOOO NOTIFICATION SQUADDD

[@abbylookadoo2398]

im not and even i found this the minute it came out

[@Ruggles117]

[@OrenjiArms]

I’ve never heard the phrase “build-a-board” yugioh but it’s so accurate Also I love how this series is very much getting back into the competitive scene but it’s also showing everything that makes people love the game, the community, learning stuff, etc. That Montage of you watching other youtubers was also really cool, it’s funny seeing a KZbin channel that also feels incredibly relatable. Looking forward to episode 5!

[@sebastianrizvic]

Dude I love your vids so much! I recently got back into playing and I've always used Elemental Heroes ever since I was a kid, so I picked up a couple of Hero Strike Structure Decks to use for my own deck. So seeing you use them really makes me so happy. It just takes me back to when I was in elementary school and my big brother taught me how to play. He gave me his Elemental Hero deck and I instantly fell in love with the classics. And now seeing all these new Hero archetypes has me excited for all the possibilities of making my own deck. Seriously man, this is my favorite thing to watch now and I've already learned so much.

[@itsgaimtoduel695]

this guy is so wholesome and an incredible storyteller

[@masteryisus6477]

That's so good to see how the community can be good towards the new players (Yeah it makes me happy since I am starting it as you did). I never played competitively, just against my brother and friends. It is really enjoyable to watch and to learn from it as well, keep up the good work, I am marathoning your videos right now ^^

[@Hotrod3097]

Loving this channel so far man. Gets me hype every time since I just came back to yu-hi-oh around the same time you did. Keep up the great work

[@daddypasta6965]

i really love how wholesome this whole series feels

[@brettfettbeargaming]

Last year I made the decision to start a similar journey to you. After white Dragon abyss and legendary collection kaiba came out I bought a legendary collection and it was my first yugioh product in 10+ years. I never played as a kid but I collected a lot and was a big fan of the Yugioh anime and I'd watch GX every day when i got home from school. Since the legendary collection I've bought a box of duelist power, 2 mega tins, 3 copies of the endymion and rokket structure decks, and since I've been watching the series, yesterday in target I got lucky enough to grab a legendary Hero decks for $18.99! Being a huge fan of GX growing up and being inspired by you, making me REALLY want to play HERO decks lol. And now you're talking about building the seyfert thunder combo deck!?!? You've got great taste in decks my friend

[@iskurr7443]

Really loving the splashes of comedy you threw in this video. Nice seeing your character shine through! GIB MORE BIDEO PLS

[@salvagesigh9705]

My story is a valentines day story. The beginning of the year my partner gave me 3 of the shaddoll structure deck. It's my main because it's exactly what I needed to get back into playing like the good old days. I now mixed with invoked and the new dogmatika made an amazing deck that I am always comfortable with playing

[@Petar_C]

You can see that this man is always happy with his wide smile :)

[@Aeroblaze1997]

Another great video 👍🏼 i love how your videos aren’t dry at all and your flow of content is really amazing, from explanations of your duels to your daily life and backstories of your friends. Great job sir :D

[@anantaregmi8840]

It's cool to see a similar story, I recently came back to yugioh, built a deck that was popular in the 2015 format (that was the last time I played) nekroz, slowly learning the game at my own pace. got a nice community at locals + university society, now expanding decks playing strikers and crusadias. Overall keep at the videos bro always a pleasure to watch them I can tell you spend alot of time with the edits and you actually care about the quality of your content.

[@zackattackyougaming1580]

Just started doing the same thing last week the nostalgia of Yugioh is the best thing after 10+ years

[@Ruggles117]

It's pretty incredible may nostalgic moments follow. Hope you have a great time back in the game, man!

[@ThatsDRK]

Genuinely love your positivity, i wish when i started yugioh that i learned as well as you are cause this is something. Im really enjoy to watch and its always amazing to see how others who are new to the game see things and take some cards in perspective that make you realize that there is more to the game than combos and locking your opponent ( BORING XD ). So keep up the good work my friend!

[@zRunes]

These videos are so heartwarming. The quality of these are crazy.

[@Ruggles117]

[@dominiksere7067]

last summer me and my friend met to make some music together and by coincidence we stumbled across my old yugioh collection in my power tool dragon tin i always used to store my cards in...we decided to each build a deck from said cards and enjoyed the game just like we did years back 😸 now, thousand of dollars spent on cards and decks later, i know exactly what you mean with how big of an impact these little things can actually make :) i enjoy your videos so much man, keep up the great work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Ruggles117]

Awh, man, that's an awesome story of getting back in the game. Nice that you still had your collection and didn't sell it/all of it. I definitely think keeping a small portion when quieting is a good idea. Just for the memories.

[@classickk7074]

This channel is so fun and entertaining. I've been waiting for days for this episode!

[@SwagMaster824]

4:18 wholesome. This dude literally is KZbin famous for waiting for Volcanic support for how long now lmao 😂

[@He3roX13]

loved the episode overall the editing the stories being told and some sick b roll shots. Especially enjoyed the length of the video as it never felt boring throughout and gave enough content that i felt was enjoyable. But having said all that it leaves me wanting to see more! Can't wait to see more from your channel and i hope it continues to grow. Good luck and never stop improving!

[@niendumb]

That whole “staying up until 4 and talking in the car til 5”...really nostalgic for me as well. Loved this video, thank you!

[@saturn2119]

Your attitude about every single part of the game is fantastic and very refreshing to see. Keep up the amazing videos man, I hope to see you at regionals at some point !

[@snowSFO]

OMG ! Another amazing video..this channel is one of the best yugioh channels I have ever seen. I woke up this morning, grab a cup of milk and just sat and watch this amazing video and I enjoyed every minute of it. Nice job 👍🏼❤

[@FirstLast-dd9ym]

This very quickly became one of my favorite channels. Awesome job

[@trustynail8762]

Every time you post a video, I immediately drop whatever I'm doing because your videos are just SO GOOD! Keep it up!

[@THEfallenSYSTEM1]

something about this channel , the music , the art style , and the fact that you are having fun!! good luck

[@clarkyCTE]

Really enjoying the series/channel best "returning to yugioh" based content out there imo!

[@caboosegaming9992]

The mailman just keeps taking those bane’s for himself. “Ooooo ruggles ordered another one!”

[@Ruggles117]

My father is a mail man. He better not be stealing my Banes >:(

[@caboosegaming9992]

Ruggles would it not be hilarious seeing your dad win a YCS with 2 banes.
