[@semicharmedlife311]

Nice pull on the Blue-Eyes, Paul. Congrats.

[@austinshort9081]

@@TeamAPS wanna duel with you guys so bad

[@GreyGaymer]

I think this series is REALLY helpful to illustrate like "why weren't Toons meta? Why was relinquished so strong?" Etc! Seeing it happen live makes it a really good history lesson

[@Tirgo69]

Even when they did get stuff like Toon Table, Toon Dark Magician Girl around 2005 it still wasn't enough to make it remotely playable

[@Player_Redacted]

It's also particularly relatable for me cuz at that age I didn't know dedicated card shops were a thing, so my parents just bought me packs from Walmart, so between that and trading with friends, that's how I got all my cards. No buying specific decks like I do now, and more wild west strategies unless you happen to pull a lucky card. Brings up a lot of nostalgia.

[@GhostintheMachine25]

Youre making us feel old but you’re right

[@Boyzby]

It made me think of the last time I saw a card that had a downside like not being able to attack the turn it's summoned.

[@alial6658]

OMG THE FIRST DUEL WAS ABSOLUTELY ENTERTAINING. This is the exact charm of the og yugioh. Getting the exact cards you need is so satisfying but also so entertaining when your opponent gets the exact cards they need as well

[@TheFatalcrest]

😂 Paul hears that the walmart has restocked and puts away his gamestop shiv

[@doctordalek4502]

“Thank goodness I didn’t have to kill anyone for it” shortly after the words “this week” then the hard stare at the camera lmfao

[@luffomp]

Paul doing the forbidden memories gameplay, fusing into Twin headed thunder dragon and giving him bunch of equipements

[@cdwilliams798]

I miss that game.

[@iEastsideJones]

Where’s Cosmo Queen? 🤓

[@DrHydro-pr5ox]

I love this series! Maybe I need to try out Goat format, or whatever the hell "Time Wizard" format is. This is what Yu-Gi-Oh was meant to be, not... the abomination it is today. Relinquished is on the field? Better side in Dark Hole or Raigeki, but watch out for Seven Tools or Solemn Judgment! Interaction (and a good bit of luck) is the name of the game, not "stop your opponent from playing the game at all costs"

[@chromebison5900]

The twin headed thunder dragon + the equips called back some forbidden memories.

[@StubbornBullet]

I see what you did there

[@smede20]

Been playing the game recently

[@michel0dy]

I love this series so much! I'm not gonna lie that I was fearing that some episodes in you guys might be locked into a strategy and the new cards from the packs would be less impactful, but you guys keep experimenting and it really brings the series together.

[@nichmiller4251]

And now, thanks to Team APS, I can relive my childhood while I put up groceries.

[@92EEM]

Early toons really benefit from messenger of peace. It's like a poor man's swords of revealing light that toon mermaidcan attack through. I ran three of them in my goat toon deck. It was incredibly obnoxious :D

[@consecrateddark656]

OMG!!! Those solemn judgment chains, poly, sangan, tomatoes, all of that is the Yugioh I played as a kid, I LOOOVEE THIS SERIES!!! TY SO MUCH GUYS!

[@edumacation4583]

Misplay on duel #2 by Paul. Attacking with mother grizzly would have lowered life points enough to prevent the complete outcome of the copycat play from occurring (if I’m not mistaken) instead of summoning 4 toon mons.

[@mukundk1586]

Copycat's MVP and that was a hilarious chain of battles in game 1 XD Love this series and thanks for keeping it alive, guys!

[@chimpmasterflex]

I love the running gag of Paul killing people for ygo packs lol.

[@ArunaUtd]

Heh yeah... "gag"

[@dilksjoel]

I legit think he's hiding something

[@abram18kelly]

Exactly why I love old Yugioh. Please keep this series going.

[@deltaterra420]

Not that it effected much, but I don't believe you'd be able to float Toon Mermaid out with Mother Grizzly since it must first be special summoned from the hand! But ultimately, it was an amazing and nostalgic duel! Great videos guys!!!

[@CaptainPlayguy]

Not Alec halving his own lifepoints into the exact number Paul needed to win that duel LOL Edit: And the two Yusei token cards still in plastic?! LOL

[@mitchwilk793]

These duels are better than YCS streams and even MD streams. Just my opinion.

[@LaLiLuLeLo1293]

You really got me with the Yoshi's Island music.

[@yuneo8817]

this duels are actually very amazing excited and wholesome i really really love watching these

[@kogdanetdeneg]

This is my favorite series on the channel! So simple and so fun

[@Earthquaker20]

11:23 I don't think mother grizzly can summon out toon mermaid since it must be special summoned from the hand.

[@Player_Redacted]

That (from your hand) is devious. Tbh if you could special summon them from anywhere, I think it'd help to make them a bit more viable without making them too strong. As long as you have Toon World out, you should be able to Special Summon them via any method, not just their own.

[@Unotuchable]

I thought that at first but I took a look at the errata for the Retro Repack. It only says it can only be special summoned if Toon World is in play. So there's nothing about only summoning from the hand via its own effect like there originally was.

[@banditkeithkingofduelmonsters]

This set uses the original effects of the cards and the original Magic Ruler version doesn't stipulate from your hand, just that toon world is in play.

[@Random1567]

@@Player_RedactedToon Mermaid (and other toons) got errata’s to let them be special summoned in general as long as Toon World is on the field. So while the original text/effect would make it an illegal play, modern day toons can indeed be special summoned the way Paul did. At least non-tribute Toons.

[@AztekGhost]

This is my favorite episode of the series till now! The duels were just so funny to watch

[@williambrown5934]

17:36 GOLLY!! I thought the opening on both sides was something! But this!! What a turn for Paul… That’s sick! Tops all the twin headed thunder dragon ace plays in these duels lol 😆 But from the start was rooting for Alec, usually just enjoy the duel BUT knowing it ends once one person hits 5 wins… REALLY wanted Alec to win so it’s guaranteed to go on that much longer…

[@Mexico013]

This series is lit, It’d be awesome for you guys to do this with other older (but newer than this) school YuGiOh packs/sets

[@SQamProductions]

I thought the first duel was close and then the second one was just as good. Love the series guys! Glad ur keeping in the part where you go thru the cards as u open the packs instead of fast fowarding :)

[@blockman89]

PAUL YOU CAN'T JUST HIT ME WITH PAPER MARIO MUSIC LIKE THAT

[@blockman89]

Also Get Fuzzy Get Dizzy from Yoshi's Island was fun to hear lol

[@eddiegloria9671]

This is an incredible series. It has the feeling that I want from a YGO match. 10/10

[@troyboyd7984]

Id like to see more short series in this exact format. The mystery boxes I don't think work for it, but stuff like this is great!

[@cheetah219]

Might be the best video in the series. Perfect pace for the pack opening, Mario music, and then basically skipping right to the duel with commentary in between talking about the deck changes. Duels were fire with pretty much every major deck threat making an appearance. Just need a black pendant dark magician blue eyes to hit the board and a kuriboh play

[@Anon-me6gf]

Glad to see Twin Headed Thunder Dragon see play. Favourite classic fusion monster, which actually feels like a cheat mode how insanely consistent it is thanks to the Thunder Dragons effect.

[@jollyrouger2945]

Round one was so fun paul with the turn around well played guys shutting down those toons was paramount and you rocked it

[@TheBombayMasterTony]

11:54, that was great. Good duels.

[@wanderlustwarrior]

It was nice to see the Toons get played, at least! And the win conditions in this Joey vs Pegasus character duel were fun!

[@Vengix93]

That first duel was awesome! LOL holy crap I did not expect these decks to go that hard

[@Calvinny88]

I love these episodes.. makes me feel nostalgic, takes me back to my young’n days. This is one hobby I think about getting back into. Thank you Team APS for the content!

[@fakename2890]

Paul playing toons to prolong the series shows he cares more about the fans than winning.

[@TeamAPS]

Well, yes and no. I genuinely was curious if the Toon cards could at least be playable. They didn't quite cut it, but there's at least something there. We definitely still needed Toon Table of Contents at least, though. 😅

[@fakename2890]

@@TeamAPS Summoning four monsters at once was very good considering the card pool, if nothing else they could be tribute fodder for the Blue-eyes. So some playability is there.

[@billbentley78]

This series rocks! Cant wait for episode 6

[@Mad.Edd.702]

This was great love the series. I really enjoyed the little after each match talk on the cards that effected or ended the game.

[@grinreaperoftrolls7528]

Gaw these duels were so much fun. This is definitely one of my favorite series on youtube right now

[@RexERohan]

I love this series, m'dudes. Really takes me back to opening packs up with friends and hyping up each other's pulls. Also love that you finally pulled the BEWDiful Blue-Eyes

[@katieheys3007]

It's so funny to be here this early and see comments hidden from the butt bots!

[@Swiss816]

THIS EPISODE WAS SO HYPE! LOVE THIS SERIES! Me and my friends have started doing this cause of you guys. We're 6 boxes in each deck and I think next box will have our duels really hype like this

[@caiubibarros6969]

Man I don't even play Yu-gi-oh, but I couldn't help myself but to get fucking HYPED when Paul pulled his Solemn Judgement against Alec's own. It's so nice to see two people enjoying the game, for once.

[@ISTHATAJOJOREFRENCE]

I love this series

[@Alma-kz4zo]

If you ever kill someone for a retro pack, Paul, don't forget to get on video! That's something I want to see!

[@_Shikabane_]

my FAVORITE yugioh series! i look forward to this so much. shame the toons arent very good but it WAS entertaining

[@CommodoreCards]

I appreciate the Paper Mario music in the background!

[@apostleianlovelette]

Not quite. Same franchise, wrong game. It was the theme for the 2nd phase Baby Bowser fight, the final boss of good ol' 𝘠𝘰𝘴𝘩𝘪'𝘴 𝘐𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥 for SNES.

[@CommodoreCards]

@@apostleianlovelette Oh is it? It's also the theme of Yoshi's Island in Paper Mario. I guess they reused it.

[@Lumpyrox1412]

Absolutely loving this series! I hope it goes on for many more episodes to come!

[@SpencerJ289]

What a comeback in game 2!

[@maxrates]

Although it didn't work out, I appreciate trying to make Toon World work. That summoning spree was amazing!

[@AwktheAngel]

Holy crap that second game was INSANE! Down to the wire with Alec only having 100 LP left.

[@dimensiongamer534]

Ha my experience with toons back in the day played out very similarly, I honestly think they would be better if just the summon sickness was taken away from all of them. I think Paul would have won if Alec didn't have the time to respond esp in that round where Paul got a few out on the same turn.

My wife and I are actually doing this as her introduction to the series. She pulled four Time Wizards today and we each pulled Gate Guardian. Shes about to start building her first deck from a pretty amazing card pool.

[@futurehokage1of1]

Love this series Team APS! Hopefully this can continue and I’m still waiting for the other series with Alex & Alex!

[@ChiliPat]

The Yoshi's Island soundtrack made my day! Great duels guys

[@Dansu18]

These decks are getting really fire!!

[@kings.kards08]

really liked how you put both of the decks side by side that was neat

[@BlazingLee0610]

Love this series! SO nice to see all the old cards getting played.

[@TeamAPS]

It was fun to see some of the old stuff in action!

[@Jwayspillz]

That first duel was so great 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Paul, I hope you continue using the toons for one more duel; maybe when you get another toon world, it will help the strategy.

[@ErimosAster]

SPOILERS AHEAD - - - Duel 1 The 7 Tools negate on Solemn, followed by the Solemn negate on Solemn had me losing my mind. Never seen that happen in a live duel before. Then having Axe, and Pendant to have exactly enough damage to win?! Love watching these duels! Duel 2 This one was so close! 100 LP remaining after that genius Angel play into Copycat. Getting beat by Giant Germ HAS to feel rough though. That Wall removing Twin was clutch too! Duel 3 What a sweep. Too bad Paul bricked so badly. To be fair he was using Toons. Looking forward to the next episode. Great vid guys!

[@apostleianlovelette]

At less than 1,000 LP, it's nearly impossible to deal with two Giant Germs without getting cooked. With how tough the Toons are to work with, I won't be surprised if Paul just switches strategies to put some focus on his new Blue-Eyes White Dragon, but he'll still have those pesky Relinquished to watch out for.

[@BabadoeTTV]

Paul and his dayum Thunder Dragons!

[@gang_gang_xd1657]

i may not know the new metas or even fully understant how some of the newer rules and ways to play but yugioh will always have a special place in my heart i will always love it

[@jollyrouger2945]

Thank you paul you cracked my Pegasus conundrum with that sick toon field play

[@finalbossmichael]

Even more Joey Wheeler energy, ya love to see it.

[@JustLikeTheSimulations]

Love these videos! I still can’t find a single box or booster for this set lol. Walmart, target, even online it’s all sold out:/

[@tricmagic]

As a reminder Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon has 2100 Defense. So could have stalled a bit in game 2. Lack of Germs also killed you that game apparently. 22:30 Relinquished Take Control of your Facedown. It then attacks Maha Veilo. As it has 3050 and you only have 2850 left, Relinquished bounces the damage back and wins.

[@denniskhaiter3941]

Words cannot describe how eagerly I wait for the new eps, guys!

[@Scottydawg298]

Thanks to you guys who I found specifically through this series I've been getting back into the anime. Thanks boys great chanle God bless

this is my favourite yt series atm, and i dont even play yugioh!!!

[@daltongrimes7850]

Super happy with this series so far! I'm really motivated to build a Yugioh Cube based on some of the themes from this set!

[@TeamAPS]

That's a great idea!

[@gregoryowain2073]

This what Yugiohs is all about. Gradualling building up a deck through booster packs and having fun, turn by turn plays that also need a bit of luck.

[@Burning856]

That Twin headed Thunder dragon play on the first duel! I clapped while watching this! Good Job!! 👍🎉

[@CornBreadtm1]

Alec out playing the Toon World game ender was masterful.

[@jacksonjoseluna817]

O primeiro duelo Paul virou o jogo de forma incrível, finalmente Alec venceu uma, conseguiu duas consecutivas.

[@makenaiyomi1083]

Man I love this series 👍🏻 When Paul added the Toons, I had a feelings his deck becomes a bit too clunky. Toon just are too slow, even back then. But would've loved them to work in the second duel.

[@SakuraAvalon]

I love these Field Spell names *Molten Destruction!* *Mystic Plasma Zone!* *Gaia Power!* ... Sea Dolphin. lol

[@resper9645]

You guys have phenomenal taste in music for your videos! :P

[@Coreyc04]

The more I think about this series doing an Exodia deck isn't too bad. Lots of deck thinning cards, thunder dragons, mystic tomato and friends, giant germ, nimble momonga. Swords of Revealing Light for stalling. Graceful charity and upstart goblin. Good walls like wall of illusion. Cards like hane hane, penguin soldier and man Eater bug. You also have Sangan a good searcher.

[@mariob123]

awesome series. The retro dules are my absolute favorites

[@wolfgangfegelein2450]

Honestly my favorite card in this pack is the secret rare Kaibaman. Sure it's outdated as can be but before the reprint the price on it was absolutely insane.

[@stephencanoro2979]

Paul with plot armor in duel #1. Pure anime ending

[@TheDeathCreature]

The first duel actually felt like a yugioh episode. Amazing.
