The Episodes are brilliant😮😮😮

You guys are back finally

[@Koopamunch667]

Even if its digital, i would love to see slipher slackers come back

[@JinSolknight]

I really like the out of duel thought segments in this video! it makes it feel more like a show than just a youtube video.

[@Revanaught]

I blame this channel for getting me back into Yugioh and buying so many cards. Y'all make it so enjoyable to watch and see what's in the packs.

[@DragonKaiser-The-Ultimate]

Same, here I am again brewing up a Red Dragon Archfiend Deck.

[@justaman3817]

I don’t blame them, but I thank them. I dug out my starter decks Yugi/Kaiba/Joey/pegasus and ended up dueling my gf using the Kaiba and yugi decks. She beat me! Lmao

[@aragingbear6466]

True that, went from owning no cards to building my 6th deck now 😂

[@DevilboyScooby]

I just downloaded Tag Force instead , saved myself a lot of money for the same serotonin boost! 😌

[@pyroslasher]

I had cards in 2004 and lost everything when I moved out of my home. Bought a starter deck in 2014 with the first pendulum monsters and a few booster packs but didn't understand anything about the new mechanics so they just sat in a drawer until last year when they announced the 25th anniversary legendary collection. Now I have literally tins upon tins of cards, 24 decks and a binder for all my high rarities! Shit is addictive! 😂

[@seandahlke]

I love old school yu-gi-oh the most. Especially the show. I’ll definitely be watching the series. I know the basics and that’s about it. But was able to follow along for the most part. Gatta say my favorite parts is the pack pulling 😂. It’s very addicting 🙃

[@jeniko2841]

I just love these old retro decks. There is a lot of tension between each turn which is what I miss about Yu-Gi-Oh. Keep up the great videos 👍🏻

[@humanyoutubeuser]

You don't get this back and forth in modern yugioh anymore! I love it so much

[@superbadisfunny]

I tried to watch worlds and got so bored 😂

[@fromryuk7785]

​​@@superbadisfunnyimagine my excitement when I tuned in recently for my first tournament in a decade to see the one where the guy won by looping exodia searchers. Was novel the first couple times but by the end I was like damn this is boring as shit.

[@stevee2639]

Exactly!

[@Merilirem]

@@fromryuk7785 To be fair that wasn't so far off the highest levels of play back in the day. There were sweet spots but every set had to be fixed or adjusted to stop that stuff. Konami just needs to ban more cards is all.

[@Merilirem]

You do, just not at high level play when the banlist isn't doing its job.

[@bleack8701]

So this is basically a duelist kingdom pack. That said, this power level is pretty close to the power level of the game I enjoyed the most. Face down defense actually matters, you play up to about 5 cards per turn and the back and forth is pretty simple. Moments like monster reborn being sent from deck to grave being super impactful just made the game so much better Amazoness Chain Master is one of my favorite cards. Used to run it in almost every deck I had back in the day

[@apostleianlovelette]

Back when overcommitting to a turn cost you big time. Resources had to be conserved in order to survive the hard negates and Blue-Eyes White Dragon required actual skill to summon at just the right time so it wouldn't die to a Trap Hole.

[@Saiess-Arches]

Paul was so afraid of Gravekeepers servant he played 4 mst XD

The GBA games music in the background is a very nice touch.

Love seeing the game being played the way it's supposed to be.

[@impetuousharp20]

What does that mean?

[@dianteclark9573]

@impetuousharp20 new yu-gi-oh is over the top while classic is epic and awesome and the way to play. Now there's hand traps and game wrecking 1 turn summon all 3k atk monsters decks and it's annoying

[@CarlosRico365]

that's why that's the GOAT!

[@impetuousharp20]

I mean, every card game has power creep, you either adapt by improving your decks and playstyles, or just stick to older formats.

[@Swannonymous]

Ah yes that nostalgic era before archetypes were hugely popular, classic Yu-Gi-Oh was so simplified

[@princerobles6059]

Im so glad you guys brought back a retro series. I 100% understand why you guys stopped slifer slackers but this is the type of content i love so im very happy y'all are back too some type of active retro series. Much love guys

[@GenericProphets]

These gameplay series you guys make are always amazing, this video had my jaw on the floor a few times. Such fun gameplay and great nostalgia feels all around. Every time I see Toon World pop up I'm rooting for it even if it never will see the light of day lol.

[@jmcbango]

Episode 1 and already pulled more Polymerization's than the whole Slifer Slacker series lol

[@HaezeusYT]

FYI, Paul explained in a stream that Slifer Slackers went away temporarily because him and Alec weren’t very fond of the format so they were trying to figure out something new that was also fun but less restrictive. Or at least that was pretty much the gist of his statement

[@AnimatedIdiotGuide]

I think their mistake was ditching the decks and collections they already had from Rare Hunters and starting from scratch.

[@zerro6903]

Agreed! What I wanted was to continue the lore. Like rare hunters that never found out Marick was defeated so they just kept moving on to different formats thinking they were helping Marick 🤣

[@HaezeusYT]

@@zerro6903 I like that, that’d be a very entertaining twist

[@wanderlustwarrior]

I love this era when you had to create your own combos and didn't just plus off of everything. Deckbuilding was harder when just starting, yeah, but once you got going you felt like *you* were doing something instead of just the engine and the duel ends by turn 3.

[@mathewevans9706]

Love seeing the old cards get play, can't wait for the next one!

[@Alvin-wx2ep]

6:45 how many likes to run gate guardian

[@AndresD.deLeon]

[@Jamble]

Very fun! Excited to see what you lads do. You guys are my favourite YuGiOh channel of all time.

[@NerdyOgre]

This was excellent. So glad to see another series starting. Some of my favorite content!

I dont play yugioh, but i used to and cards like these were all i had to play with.Takes me back to buying the yugi starter deck at my small town's gas station.

[@PeterGriffin-sj7mb]

Can't wait to see more of this series, I love the original yugioh art so much

[@roamingturtl4656]

[@DarkOmega150]

I was hoping you'd do a draft series for this! These retro draft series have always been my favourite series!

[@thebat_man_9297]

This is already my favorite series of u guys 🔥i grew up on the old school cards cant wait for more episodes!

[@rich8021]

boy this brings back memories. this is when i was big into yugioh. i had all the 1st editions, wish i had kept them all, but they do have good homes now. :D I was never into toon world, but you have so many of them, it could be fun to play. I was all about DM and BEWD. :D

[@TheItachikiller]

i LOVE this format for card games, makes me invested in the decks much more

[@Oddballr3]

This is cool, I thought a lot of yu gi oh was just 1- 2 turn games but this feels like an actual back and forth.

[@pinkfrappe_]

The perfect video to wrap up the last bit of my shift with! This is gonna be fantastic series!

[@TheMadVentriloquist]

Glad to see another player out there from Retro YGO that likes Gravekeeper's Servant as much as me. Whenever I played the 2006 game I made sure to have at least 3 in my deck; decked out the AI many times over that way.

[@dylandavis2737]

Kuriboh is supposed to be creepy, I thought he was a cute little guy especially in early art

[@scragar]

In the oldest artwork it's all black except for the hands, feet, and eyes(which are furrowed like it's frowning or staring). It also has clearly distinct claws but in a position where you can't tell if it's walking on all fours or just hunched over. I wouldn't say it's creepy, but it's definitely a lot creepier than the current version where it's brown fur, got rid of the frown, and made the claws shorter/less distinct.

[@SakuraAvalon]

@@scragar Funily enough, in the manga, he's purple, with yellow hands/feet And his manga card art is like someone cute, trying to be spooky, and failing.

[@Merilirem]

@@scragar Looks even cuter to me in the original art.

Banlist as prizes. Loser gets to ban one card as a consolation, winner gets to move one card to the adjacent list. 5 matches straight locks in a ban.

First time watching a video from this channel, had a lot of fun!

[@agr0nianTV]

Great start! Relinquished is one of my favorite cards 😁

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

Idea to Retrain Man-Eater Bug as a Flip/Tuner with better effects: _Emperor Man-Eater Bug_ (EARTH) Level 4 Insect/Flip/Tuner/Effect _FLIP: Target 1 card on the field; Destroy it, and if you do, apply the following effects for the rest of the duel (You can only apply following effects of “Emperor Man-Eater Bug “ once per duel.)_ _⚪️Flip Monsters you control gain ATK equal to their original DEF, and DEF equal to their original ATK._ _⚪️If a Flip monster you control Destroys an opponent’s card (by battle or card effect); You can Normal Set 1 Flip Monster from your hand or deck._ ATK/1050 DEF/1050

[@jmcbango]

Thats so sick. However, I will say that the lingering effects should probably be once per duel. Setting 3 monsters from deck off of one destruction sounds broken

[@ButFirstHeLitItOnFire]

@@jmcbango There, made the change, although I’m not sure if I needed to (I don’t hear anything about cards with similar lingering effects like “Time-Tearing Morganite” having the same stacking issues…🤔)

[@themil0823]

I think it'll be a neat rule to add trading cards between each other after either the pack opening or the match. It'll give the series an extra retro/playground feel to it.
