I wish you guys would play a set when you do these deckbuikding challenges. It sucks to see a cool concept for a duel and have it over in 5 minutes because of bad draws. It would be a lot more entertaining to see 2 out of 3.

[@refkiriswansyah2830]

You take the wrong opponent in his own field of expertise to challenge, Paul. This is Larry, a guy who constantly pull good cards in random packs (except in Walmart, f*ck them). He can just skip the singles and go full random and still has better chance to win. The hearts of cards is with him.

Recently re-discovered my childhood love for Yu-Gi-Oh, your content really helps to bring me back to when I used to raid the stores for new cards to duel with... Good times, great content! Love y'all, keep up what you're doing

[@incredibleflameboy]

I've never played Yu-Gi-Oh but I love how chilled these guys are. I play MtG and sometimes wish you'd find players like this because everyone gets so intense at events and you get those players that hate that you build "rule of cool" decks. I usually have to to tell someone that "I like zombies and bugs, guy, it doesn't affect you what I choose to play. Just be glad someone is willing to play with your attitude."

[@buddyzilla4557]

Lol I remember in college we would go to the card shop and do something similar with our meager budgets to mix things up. We would typically set a $5 cap then build decks from the massive 10 cent bin to duel with. Sometimes we would add a little extra and allow individual cards to be bought from the showcase for a little extra to supplement or act as trump cards for the deck but never much more than a few dollars and only if everyone agreed to it and could utilize the same amount of resources. The whole point wasn't to make a competitive deck but the best, most fun and creative decks to play against each other all given the same resource pool and limits to work with. It was honestly some of the most fun we had in my opinion, and was a whole process. We had yo spend a decent amount of time (usually between 30 mins and an hour) weeding through the massive bin, pulling out potential cards building the deck as we went and thinking about all that our opponents might decide, knowing them and their typical play styles. I get that buying fresh packs would require a higher price, but it is just funny to me thinking how much richer blooded it would seem to us to have a $50 budget for something like this.

[@dalazo]

GREAT concept! Hope you do this more often, this really opens up some fun random luck along with somewhat careful planning potentially

[@End_V]

I love this format! It really feels like what Yu-Gi-Oh should actually be like or couldve been.

[@dragonknight1560]

It's awesome to see the booster pack challenge redone with a limit of 50 dollars. This was an awesome challenge! Hope to see it again in the future!

[@markmarsmark9591]

These are the best videos, watching team members creativity in putting a deck together with constraints and limits and then battling. Would love to see a mix between these deck building battles, and calvin can/trell trials, where you build a deck around a random monster and try and beat the other person.

[@Brandon25043]

10:12 larry pendulum summoned illegally, as it has to be between 1 and 7 aka 2,3,4,5,or 6 but instead he summons a lvl 7, so larry wouldnt have been able to use that card for as long as he did, and the duel would have been paull's

[@monaco0042]

Dark mist requires 3 level 2 monsters so honestly either way Larry would have won since Dark mist is the main reason Paul got any damage.

[@Dorama1997]

[@billybragg2572]

I don’t think Larry could Pendulum Summon Beautia at any point. Pendulum Summon requires that the level be between the scales. Coolia’s being 1 and Dreamia’s being 7, which means he could only Pendulum Summon monsters between Level 2-6. That would’ve made the duel have a drastically different result. Still a fantastic show! I really love this concept and hope it continues!
