Yu-Gi-Oh! Sealed Only: ONE V ONE - A Grand Beginning (Episode #1)

After finding a great deal of inspiration in Farfa, Distant Coder and Nyhmnim's Sealed only Yu-Gi-Oh! series I decided to start my own with a long time friend, Mario from Mario's Gaming World. Each week we will open some sealed product, build our decks and play a match of Yu-Gi-Oh! We're allotting ourselves $60 dollars Canadian each episode and singles are forbidden. The goal is to be the first to win 25 matches and whoever does so will receive a full case from their opponent.
You're watching - sealed only 1 v 1.
In today's episode I begin building my brand new Cyber Dragon deck and we actively work with the Cyber Dragon Duelists to make it as competitive as possible. Mario also begins his journey with a classic but now rouge deck, Lightsworns! Additionally we open some Toon Chaos and Mega Tins to aid our decks and give us an early advantage. With that said, it was a real pleasure putting this together for all of you and I hope you enjoy the very beginning of our brand new sealed only journey!

P.S. I also wanted to note that while I didn't mention them in the video Cimo's progression series and Revs Cards, Yu-Gi-Oh! From Scratch were also huge inspirations and I owe a big thank you to them as well.

Ruggles: "Inspired by farfa, nhymnim, revz" DistantCoder: .__.

[@Ruggles117]

Yeah, honestly this series was inspired by A LOT of talented people, Distant Coder included. I also wanted to mention Cimo as his Progression Series heavily impacted Farfa/Coders series. Additionally I wanted to spend more time thanking RevzCards and MBT but quickly realized the list of influential people was far too long and I needed to focus on the main two for digestibility's sake. We'll definitely spend more time thanking the other talented creators as the episodes progress and opportunities arise 😄

[@TheMrLEGOChris]

Love the amount of effort you put into each and every one of your videos. Production quality is truly something that I rarely see from popular creators on the platform. Keep up the solid work Ruggles! It not only shows your passion for the game of YuGiOh but also your love and commitment for making videos. On that note... a few RTFC moments occurred during the game: 1) A few people have commented that at 14:23 Cyber Revsystem would have prevented the destruction of the Cyber Dragon it summoned through it's effect. Something that you need to remember for the future so no biggy. 2) At 18:22 Drei would have been destroyed when attacking into Raiden as Raiden's ignition effect increases his attack for each Lightsworn monster milled x200 until the end of the opponents turn. Because Wulf was milled at 18:05 with this effect, Raiden would have been at 1900 ATK destroying Drei with 1800 ATK. Though it doesn't matter much as no one really pays attention to that part of his effect (never usually sticks around that long in competitive builds), it shouldn't be taken lightly in this series as it will punish you on a hasty attack if you are not careful. Would have been funny to see how it would have gone down: "Move to Attack declaration" *Mario looks confused as he assesses the board* ... Nothing *Ruggles also looks confused as Mario doesn't banish Necro* "Damage Step?" *Ruggles sweats thinking a phat Honest boi is about to be dropped but*... Nothing "Damage Calculation???" *Ruggles prepares for the angel boi!!!* "Ruggs, you know Raiden has 1900 ATK right?" *Ruggles looks into the abyss as he knew... he f$*%ed up* Awesome content as always Ruggles! Can't wait to see what happens in the next instalments. Also sorry for the long comment.
