Dueling with 2005 Yu-Gi-Oh Structure Decks!

[@TeamAPS]

*So everyone, what was your very first Yu-Gi-Oh Structure Deck?* 👀 Dragon's Roar vs Zombie Madness (2005) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5vTe6Z3abmgidU

[@eternal5140]

My grandma bought me both the Yugi and Kaiba starter decks.

[@Tuturial464]

Dragon's roar

[@deadmanflames1726]

I bought the first yugi deck as a kid but I mostly recall playing the Joey starter

[@lilsunny7399]

Dinosaur's Rage

[@camerapunk4109]

The first two ever with Kaiba and yugi 😎

[@big_gammy9379]

The craziest thing is not just the Snatch Steal top deck but the fact that Jar of Greed allowed it

[@isaackeenan7477]

LMAO i didn't consider that.

[@verymelonman12]

True, true. Real fridge moment.

[@Trigger99X]

Ikr if he didn’t, Alex would had lost the duel

[@failapusgaming2628]

Pot* of greed.

[@MaxClawsonYT]

The most anime plot armor moment xD

[@Mjuxtapose03]

This felt like an OLD SCHOOL DUEL!!!! I miss these days 🙏🏽😢

[@Milkshakes289]

Me too it's super fun. Now it's just otk decks

[@lukesimpson259]

Sameeee way better more slow duels than 40 min first turns then usally game end haha

[@draconomicon8672]

Paul: i Attack with my Neo Daedalus. Alec: I Attack with OUR Neo Daedalus XD

[@knowing1399]

Comrade.

[@pissingspeedrun]

REVOLUTION!!!!!

[@ramiromurguia1487]

Everyone else: Look at Ghosts from the Past! Team APS: Look at these ghosts from the pasts.

[@prestongiles9917]

I see what you did there.

[@SakuraAvalon]

The more preferable Ghosts of the Past.

[@yasinacilan]

I love it and feel it

[@InsufficientVibes]

Clever

[@xAreuto]

Top decking snatch steal, that’s the old school yugioh I remember.

[@matthewriddle2698]

Same, back in the day when a single draw could help turn the whole duel around...When Heart of the Cards was the way to play.

[@ViewtifulDarnell]

Right? Jar of Greed saved the day cuz if Alex didn't use that, Paul would have been able to swing for the last hit with Ocean Dragon Lord before he drew it.

[@13andit6]

Heart of the cards baby

[@theholychirch3924]

The yugioh I enjoyed. I played rec tournaments alot growing up and stopped around 2012 when crazy chain decks and synchros started to take over the game. I miss it tbh

[@mistertaz94]

Remember when 2500 Atk was considered big? Pepperidge Farms remembers

[@eldeliciosomagnifico6503]

Why didn’t Paul go in for the second mermaid knight wing on Solar Flare Dragon @20:45?

[@blueythecollector356]

Big misplay @paul explain yourself

[@drewdavid18]

Exactly my question

[@mazenmz603]

He made it up by cheating out neo dedlus

[@ShiningJudgment666]

@@mazenmz603 Upon release, it was misprinted so people just used the originally printed effect until it got an errata. You have to actually tribute Daedalus to summon it.

[@caintic26]

Ah, the Solar Flare Dragon lock + Raging flame sprite chipping life points away. High school memories

[@PKSparkxxDH]

Wooded Kingdom. YES. Big vibe music.

[@weedleenthusiast7882]

I feel like the last duel may have ended differently, if Mermaid Knight's ability was utilized a second turn in a row, because then there never would have been two of the Solar Flare Dragons on the field

[@coletonmarino1310]

I really like how the older structure decks looked and felt, it reminded me of the Pokémon “theme decks” I believe they were called. But that’s when I was a wee lad, I’m into the big boy stuff now.

[@trcs3079]

Whats the big boy stuff you like now?

[@SakuraAvalon]

There's a definite charm to the old decks. Though, I'm not sure how much of it is genuine, and how much of it is nostalgia. Though, they definitely look better than the old Pokemon decks from when I was a kid. xD They look like kids designed them.

[@coletonmarino1310]

@@trcs3079 Competitive Yugioh.

[@coletonmarino1310]

@@SakuraAvalon Heck yeah they look better.

[@Dualities]

the beauty of this old deck si the fact they were simple and also complex at the same time. not too compčlicatedb ut u still had to make choices

[@kuramaninetails5362]

I like this kinda thing. It's like their own progression series with structure decks instead of packs.

[@juanma9112]

Oh dude the Water Deck was my first deck ever. I can't believe it's been 15-16 years already. So nostalgic.

[@burnum]

Funny thing about the Fury from the Deep deck, Neo Daedalus was given an errata that was handed out at Gencon. The card in the structure deck had a misspell in the card description.

[@tyangchizzle]

Damnnnnnnnn! That game 3 was crazy!! Good stuff, Team APS!

[@davidchoi1949]

BLAZE OF DESTRUCTION LET'S GOOOOOOOO my first and only true structure deck, what a trip down memory lane. For once I could see the strategy clearly as it played out!

[@EnclaveColonel]

For the longest time, that sea deck was my main deck. In the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Duel Academy game that's the first deck it gives you

[@iimoryomaru1927]

I love that Konami put card 2-3 times in these decks. Because they know when a deck needs a card more than 1 time

[@jordancardenas7564]

Now you have to buy 3 of the same decks to get the copies needed to run the deck effectively

[@heroeus8173]

Yeah at that time archtype didn't exist We had a series of cards but that was also very little It's only during GX where archtype became a thing with heroes and all Back then they just do a theme with monster types or attributes

[@hayjad610]

This was a good video. However I did notice a misplay by Paul. Neo-Deadulus can”t be normal summoned, or special summoned as per its card text. As you would need to summon it by tributing Deadulus. Just wanted to put that out there. Keep the great work guys.

[@Calculated_Error]

Crazy that I literally remember these releasing and asking my parents to buy me them. I was 7 at the time and I love those decks even though I had no clue how to play.

[@eldeliciosomagnifico6503]

Paul played the deck correctly. Neo-Daedalus didn’t require Levia dragon at the time of this deck’s release.

[@musiyevonchilla6769]

It was requiered, but the text were missprinted

[@Worstestvideos]

It was always required. It’s just an error in the text. I remember reading it in a magazine when the decks came out. They reprinted the card after with the correct summoning condition

[@DocPyro]

This was a nostalgia kick. I remember buying these at a town fare years ago and playing with my lil brothers. Still have Neo Daedalus sleeved up here at home.

[@2nerdsandslim261]

Man these cards took me back. I'm a huge Blue Eyes fan so I had a Saga of Blue Eyes deck.

[@pvshka]

So, where are the people from community post who predicted that the water deck would win? 🤔

[@hazio7574]

Me

[@PersonaPrime]

Well water deck would have won if Paul didn't misplay and attacked Solar Flare Dragon with his second Mermaid Knight attack 😂

[@TheRicardobtc]

Before I watched other people making the same type of video about these two decks, I was one of those who expected Water to win. And not because it was simply "Water against Fire", but because, in a vaccum, the Water deck has a much better strategy than the Fire deck to go against other decks in general. After watching others though, I knew Water would lose. They all start and end the same way: Part 1 (Deck Analisys) - "Wow, the water deck is so much better than the Fire deck" Part 2 (Matches) - "Welp... we didn't expect the Water deck to lose..." Ironically, the Water deck just happens to have a bad matchup against the Fire deck in particular, whereas most other decks have no problem against it. Water's lockdown strategy doesn't do much against the Fire's Burn strategy which doesn't rely much on attacking.

[@Ragnamune]

23:25 - Alright, who turned on the Destiny Draw rule from Tag Force?

[@Memesis]

man these were like my first structure decks

[@danielkaragic7057]

This to me is peak yugioh. Combinations are common but its still straight forward enough. I always loved the water/umi cards, thanks for the great battles!

[@AGO339]

i love how you do these. like we all dream of playing yugioh like in the anime wich is still a dream, but this, all this is so fun, the card close ups, the deck breakdown, the camera views. this is so good!

[@timhuynh6963]

You should do a sequel with the Atlantean and Fire King structure decks, because this was fun to watch

[@MrDuckyart]

That Judai theme in the background makes this so much better.

[@prestongiles9917]

I always liked Gaia Soul. Was a nice piece of my collection.

[@PsclDragonBorn]

The memories hit so hard. I remember sitting im my grandmas kitchen playing withe the Neo Daedalus Deck. It was so amazing.

[@dustin6114]

yo ocean dragon lord lowkey bust, always loved the artwork of that card.

[@KrwlngShadow]

I still have these decks. Both of them. And in NM-M condition too! I bought them around the time they were first released, sleeved them, and then they went unplayed because all of my friends played MtG and I switched to that too. I'm holding onto them in the hopes that one day I'll play some casual goat Yu-Gi-Oh...the new Obelisk/Slifer decks coming out this month seem pretty inviting.

[@Proxytality]

Aside from the GBA/DS games where you have the option of selecting one of these decks, I have never seen 'em. I think Zombie Madness is the only one I have ever heard of.

[@stuarthall9854]

Had a local structure deck tournament way back in the day when these things had come out - I won that local with the Fury of the Deep deck. Was some great times to be a Yugioh fan back then, lol

[@kid.kurogami2363]

Its great how you guys also read the text louder than watching speed duels. I like all of your content, especially duels.

[@iimoryomaru1927]

I really really like the way Alec duels. With this cool 1Liners Paul : With Tornado Wall , I will not take any damage Alec : so u will ! Because Just tornado

[@EmmyPupcake]

Oh man, I had BOTH of these decks! I retooled the fire one into a burn deck and the water one into a control deck. They both worked pretty well during high school lunch break duels.

[@alexparker5127]

I tried so many times as a kid to get 2 solar flare dragon on the field at once for that combo and never could. So you are now my hero.

[@gabrielmarchioro1390]

Man, this channel is great, I just came back to watch yugioh after 6 years and you guys do an amazing job explaining the things in the duels, for a person like me who played before the Link summon your videos are very helpful

[@nolanstone4723]

Just discovered you guys. Havent played Yugioh for probably close to 20 years but you guys are super entertaining. Legit content keep it up. I love that sometimes you guys edit a closeup of cards on screen so we can see them when played if we arent familiar.

[@pcman87654]

I love the edits like for example when he equips a spell it flashes the card across the screen. Good work guys

[@darkwyngraym]

I remember loving the water deck but water wouldn't really be good until later wouldn't it?

[@DemonFox369]

The audio was off but once again, I love these duels on the channel

[@hydro5893]

I'll never the miss the mario odyssey music! Steam gardens is such a bop.

[@Thousandeyes85]

This is why I wish Snatch Steal was off the forbidden list

[@SakuraAvalon]

It actually did come back. It was then quickly rebanned. xD I'm not kidding.

[@rotex03]

The reason why you want it is the same reason why it shouldn't return :)

[@sburbtube6766]

Top decking Snatch Steal would be fun, but as an equip card it's easily searchable with other cards, so it has to stay banned.

[@MrGrimlocksmash]

When these decks first dropped, I absolutely slapped my friends Uber competitive Chaos deck (we’d comp play almost every other week and he’d always place in top 3) with a fully upgraded water deck. Them bugroths, R.O.D and cylinder for days were the bane of his existence. When I finally got to build lost millennium e heroes, I got him to a point where we’d draw every match cuz of rod’ing his bls envoy.

[@JonathanRodriguez-pn7ig]

Blaze of destruction was my very first deck. I still run the core of the deck with a little tweaks. I love this deck so much.

[@Jeff-te2cc]

Blazing destruction was always my favorite structure deck, I ran that thing so much I loved it

[@jamesbryanjurado7416]

Blaze of Destruction was my first structure deck that's my favorite deck of all time. More videos and more duels salute to you guys.

[@joshuaturner7343]

Love the SMO Steam Gardens music, always a nice touch to the videos 🙂

[@dooorooooro4914]

that video is a blast in the past for me, I remember buying both of these structure decks when they came out, thanks for the video!

[@RockGuitarist1]

This was the last time I bought yugioh was when these structure decks came out until recently. Time flew.

[@themacca277]

i had both these decks as a kid so its nuts seeing these in the same video

[@therealezjey]

I dunno but these old format seems more fun than waiting 1 hour of your opponent doing combo

[@TrinityDestroyer]

Fury from the Deep was my first Structure deck. I loved that deck, and have considered getting a sealed one just to keep on the shelf.

[@YellowFraggle]

The opening spun me out, had 1 of you in each ear lol. When I was a kid all I wanted was a fire deck, guess I'm team Alec today! Edit: sound is uneven in ears throughout, would be good if you could even it out. awesome video as always though

[@B-Man-69]

I had all these strucure decks when they came out in 2005. My fav among these is probably The Dragon's Roar.

[@MasterBronzeElite]

Joey's theme in the background is 🔥

[@hippy8255]

i remember getting the fire starter deck as my first yu gi oh cards when i was like 6 or 7, baseball kid was my favorite card for the longest time

[@alseenei8072]

Blaze of Destruction is $40 and Fury of the Deep is $20 , just for whoever's asking. Love the videos! Your guys' duels rock!

[@griffingower1883]

Blaze of Inferno was one of my first 2005 structure decks

[@ddot4516]

Holy crap 27-15=i was so young when this came out I wasn’t into yugioh at this point but i sure do remember seeing these boxes everywhere

[@nosrin1988]

i loved 2005 structure decks, there were tons of them and they were simple tribal not the "match the name" stuff you have nowadays.

[@rockored04]

I did not think paul will get past the solar flare dragons end phases🤔😲! Lol truly entertained 👍🏼👌🏼✌🏻

[@PersonaPrime]

He wouldn't need to be in that position if he attacked the first Solar Flare Dragon.

[@solitaryshadow3978]

I love it when Paul says "duelist" lol

[@gabriellapollard5417]

I like the guess before it starts and watch these all the time. Ill have to say the water based deck.. mostly cause umi plays into cards and tornado wall is LP protection

[@WinterBaby315]

That was an intense battle I thought neo Will win but in the end fire deck prevails! More structure deck duel to come!

[@brentrobinson3275]

Bro that snatch steal draw in the end was clutch

[@drachenschnitzel3297]

i love strukture deck duells. i did this a long time on ygo pro vs. myself

[@ShamblesTCG]

that topdeck BS at the end was amazing hahaha

[@atomicchowder5619]

Although I didn't play yugioh at the time, a few of the games from the gx games around 2005-2008 would allow the player to purchase them for the cards inside. It was fun 🤣

[@finkelkop7204]

Man I loved those decks! Had booth.

[@slicedcrystal]

man so mutch nostalgia here. my brother use that water and i used that fire. good times

[@jose_the_great-jtg2441]

Yeah just wow!!! if he never pulled that burn card from the deck using the Jar of Greed, he would've lost.... Man YUGIOH is just the greatest lol. Great game guys!!

[@steves9955]

Nostalgia hits again. I had the fire deck and man does it bring back memories from when I was a kid🤤

[@corbincox1140]

I think some duels where are you guys just create an extra deck of monsters and then play with those added to the standard deck would be cool.

[@Baldoxxx4000]

The guy the Time Wizard eyes should do vogueing, he fits the criteria :)

[@9silentufo9]

meteor of destruction, I remembered my deck with only cards that inflict damage, quick and frequent victory

[@dilburtferdschmert2371]

god this shit makes me so nostalgic. my first structure deck, and probably first yugioh cards, were warrior's strike (I got a misprint of the boss guy on the box art where the name was covering the stars, very confused as a kid), and machina mayhem

[@AliacadosDuelistas]

Now I want a Structure Deck R about this two! Please, Konami, make it happen! I want a "Structure Deck Duel" like this or Acient Gear vs Dino, it would be really cool to happen u.u)

[@hugommaes]

Neo Daedelus couldn`t be played there... but great game anyway! Water deck is my favorite

[@marklowery8193]

5:05 he got an original Ocean Dragon Lord that doesn’t require Levia Dragon as a sacrifice

[@jakovcacic3343]

Oh my fod these sets brings back memories ,good times

[@AkiRa22084]

That was fun! Thanks for the 4K video!

[@beckener]

Awesome video ! Blaze of Destruction was the first structure deck I took to locals as a kid, and I was awful at the game so I did not do well XD

[@Makai-]

I remember buying those exact structure decks as a kid

[@robertdenwood2376]

Some heart of the cards sh*t pulling that snatch steal when everything was empty😂

[@xTxCxMx]

Fun fact, back in the old days only one player at a time could control a field spell so all you needed to do to destroy the other dude's was to play your own.

[@tonitaipalus8722]

1:51 he said it he said the thing

[@T1G3R1990]

Oh wow. in German Neo-Daedalus had the correct text right away so I thought I was having some sort of Mandela effect when I saw Paul's copy lmao

[@ScrubBusta]

this series slaps so hard

[@amakaqueru33]

Dude, I remember when deks use to have only 1 boss monster and you felt so good when you finally get to sommon it. Doog times.

"Thumbs up for that" made me lose it idk why 🤣😂🤣😂

[@abstro9942]

Bruh that was a good ass ending, great vid! Do more, these are dope! I miss playing yugioh during these times.
