Wagering the RAREST Yu-Gi-Oh Cards in RISE OF DESTINY! Rare Hunters - Episode 13!

[@TeamAPS]

Sorry for the wait everyone, but Rare Hunters is finally back! Hope you all enjoy this episode. We have a lot of cool things in mind for the next time, but for now: what's been your favorite Rare card in the series so far?

[@WalkthroughBuddy]

Nothing beats the Jinzo pull from Pharoah's Servant!! You called that!

[@carlmartin612]

Dark Blade the Dragon Knight.

[@tylerlagermann3769]

I believe that my body as a shield play in game 3 was a misplay, if I remember right you can only play a quick play spell on your opponents turn if it is set. I believe this could have had an effect on on the duel.

[@bluejeanking8495]

What if you CONTINUE the series & go thru the GX packs? Maybe we can make Air Neos popular again!?!?!?

[@genepatton5345]

It's gotta be Mirror Force! Such a powerful and fun card!

[@davidmendez3899]

you guys should start a “sister series” of rare hunters where the excess cards are used. like Larry and Trell make decks from the scraps you didn’t use. Larry uses from Paul’s pile while Trell uses Alec’s(or vice versa). it’d be like when Joey/side characters fight instead of Yugi. maybe even have a coop duel using them.

[@agr0nianTV]

That'd be dope af

[@Gadlight]

"The Joey struggle" I mean, the cosplay is already there, im looking at you Paul.

[@michel0dy]

A coop duel would be hype

[@Good_Doe]

The Dumpster Divers

[@vaughnraley8591]

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease make this happen.

[@ozzysmith2571]

I really hope the series continues on. You guys are great personalities and fun to watch play and the concept of the series is so good.

[@gorillazfan85]

They could always repeat certain sets or have a box of random packs they draw from. Maybe a duel wagering cards one person needs, but the other doesn't. I hope it continues as well. There's a lot of potential to get those few cards they didn't pull before

[@michaelbread5906]

Love the Rare Hunters, best yugioh content on YT. Really took me back to the good old days with these OG decks. Thanks guys!

[@alecfields1153]

In all my years of doing KZbin this has been the most fun I've had

[@ScarletRose20]

I hope there is a season 2. This series is to good to only have one more episode after this. been keeping up with each episode watching each many times.

[@alecfields1153]

Every good story has an ending and that time's come for RH, but don't think we're done! Not by longshot!

[@GalZZ_5]

My day is always better after you post a new rare hunters episode! Keep it up. Excited for the finale😁

[@WalkthroughBuddy]

Sad to hear this series is coming to an end but I'm looking forward to the finale and future content.

[@TeamAPS]

Only for now!

[@BouncingZeus]

@@TeamAPS I would love to see this come to modern sets and then return for each new one.

[@Nopulu]

@@TeamAPS Lol, saving some moolah to afford some of the GX boxes?

[@TeamAPS]

@@Nopulu Trying to! Some of those boxes get REALLY pricey.

[@DigitalD20]

I think it's more like the season is ending, not the series.

[@dimm7913]

This is the best series, I look forward season 2

[@kinglyknight]

Paul changing his mind and explaining magical scientist twice was hilarious

[@romkin1197]

I love how Paul keeps forgetting about Bait Doll shuffling itself away instead of going to the GY >->

[@samwilkins4569]

I'm gonna miss this series so much!!! Might just be my imagination, but I don't think Paul is ever, this genuinely happy, entertained, etc...except when having these fun duels with Alec. Hope another series takes its place.

[@alecfields1153]

Hmm we might do just that!

[@damn_wanted]

I was literally thinking to myself earlier today "It's been a little while now since the last rare hunters vid. Hopefully we get another one soon." then here you guys are with another great piece of content. Loving this series & hope it can continue on a while longer. It's been great seeing the sets, embracing the nostalgia but also seeing simple, enjoyable yugioh again instead of the fast pace we're all accustomed to nowadays.

[@firefalcon9486]

Thanks! My favorite rare of the series is probably Horuslv8, BlackLusterSoldier-Envoyofthebeginning, or ChaosEmperorDragon-EnvoyoftheEnd.

[@TheLochhead]

Looking forward to the finale. Thanks guys, for all the efforts you've put in this series. I can just imagine the possibilities in exploring this format. Cheers!

[@dalazo]

I know everyone (including myself) have said this but please by all means keep going with this series! Doesnt matter what format of YuGiOh, it's just really fun to see the progression, luck and overall feel of the videos. This has been my favourite KZbin content in maybe years and that includes pretty much everything not just YuGiOh or videogame related.

[@youtubeboy810]

I imagine if they continue this series in GX to see who is worthy to be in Obelisk Blue and who the real Slifer Slacker is

[@emilydonegan3208]

Also you guys have such great chemistry; it feels like I’m back in high school, dueling with friends at lunch lol; Granted, that was Zexal era by then

[@r1nsync]

I absolutely love the series. I would love to see maybe a GX and 5D era style of rare hunters, would be a lot of fun to see those kinds of games. Maybe bring a few cards from these episodes. Swords has been my favorite rare card since it’s bought so much time in so many games.

[@alecfields1153]

That could be a lot of fun!

[@PatchesOJO]

It's sad that such a great series coming to an end, but it has been one amazing ride!

[@Onepiecefan95]

Funfact if Bait doll destroys a Trap it doesnt go to the GY but goes back into the deck. Its at resolution so unless you negate it it should go back into the deck.

[@andrewjoseph2749]

Bait doll reads, "When this card resolves, shuffle it into the Deck instead of sending it to the Graveyard.", so reguardless of whether or not it destroys a trap it shuffles into the deck..... I've pointed this out every time they play it.

[@blahmaster6k]

​@@andrewjoseph2749 same, it triggers me every time but at least it's not that big of a deal.

[@xXskulsaXx]

Dude I was like waiting that's one of my favorite I swear it went back too the deck haha

[@Merik2013]

It isnt the first time they've resolved Bait Doll incorrectly, either.

[@aidenpyralis804]

Yu-Gi-Oh players can't read though

[@davidvenom]

I love how much fun you guys have playing yugioh together. It’s evident with the laugh you shared over the elementsaurus move, such a joy. Takes me back to just playing for fun as a kid, I think sometimes people lose sight of that with Yu-Gi-Oh in regards to meta, tournaments, etc. it’s got this feels of it being trying to be “serious business”. This series encapsulates what makes it really special, just being with friends and having fun. Thanks for taking me back to simpler times even for a brief moment. You guys sharing a laugh over that goofy move transporter me back to late night sleepovers with my friends it was like that scene in ratatouille when the critic eats the titular dish and is taken back to being a kid.

[@alecfields1153]

I feel that way every time we do RH. Even on rough days the nostalgia of pulling old cards and then scrapping together decks to duel with brings joy

[@jinxythegecko3400]

You guys are hands down my favourite YGO channel, your content never disappoints and your chemistry on camera is great. It's disappointing this series may be coming to a close but I'm looking forward to whatever you guys come up with next!

[@AnimatedIdiotGuide]

I’m sure this has been an expensive endeavor so I understand why it probably can’t continue but it’s been sooooo much fun to watch. I love that y’all went the extra mile for the physical card. You could’ve used ygoprodeck and it would’ve been perfectly fine but nah you gotta go extra 😊

[@alecfields1153]

We've had so much fun doing RH, pulling the actual cards made this series more than worth it!

[@Pasta_Parade]

Please continue this into the GX Era, tbh ever since it premiered its the highlight of the channel!!!

[@tokiimasaienari6137]

i am happy to see this series continued and sad at the same time it will end soon i would love to see it continue with like newer sets aswell. Thanks for the great content!

[@CountryLongboarding]

Best yugioh series on KZbin to date. It’s been a blast watching all of it. Can’t wait for the finale 🤙🏼

[@ericyang9779]

Rise of destiny was always my favorite set! I pulled the Creator and felt like a god. Especially as a little kid who only was able to get one or two packs per set! Nice video

[@Armann_]

Ugh, I miss this hobby. I’m so saddened I sold my deck _YEARS_ ago. I sold it for $100 out of desperation before ‘07. I regret it, it’s worth $1000 nowadays.

[@MaxAndersonn]

Rise Mega ultra chicken!!

[@angriestjoker]

Shh! He is legend!

[@djfrankymix]

Noo it cannot end here. Please keep this series alive. One of the best series next to cimoooooooo’s progression series.

[@Arg3stars]

I really liked Alec's deck on this video. Nice to see he finally had useful light and dark monsters to back up that strategy.

[@alecfields1153]

I NEVER thought I'd ever use the element monsters but RH creates funny opportunities to try things.

[@JaimeD.]

The series may reach it's conclusion, but the Team APS Saga will never end. One journey ends, a new one begins. Imagine having the voice actor of Marik from the dub give a message to Paul & Alec for being the best Rare Hunters.

[@raymers]

Yay! This series has been great! I can't see what else you have in store! These 1v1 games having to invent deck less-played strategies is really nice. I would love to see more series like this one (even if it's not pack opens) in the future!

[@dier_]

Paul's delivery of the Pot of Greed meme is unmatched

[@genndybyrd]

Great video didn't expect that duel to go that way in the end either! Thanks again for all the work this series been fire.

[@masansr]

This is why people love the original YuGiOh. You just came up with a combo that has probably never been played before. And found a use for those garbage Harpies.

[@clarkside4493]

I loved that Homonculus and Elementsaurus play. Seems like he was made for that kind of stuff. I sort of want to make a Chaos Deck revolving around that gimmick now.

[@Prattical]

Love the series hope it sort of starts of over or continues with future sets. It's been a big trip down memory lane

[@brucelau2023]

This has really been the best YGO series and it might just bring me back into playing or at least buying cards again, looking forward to season 2 guys this spring and summer absolutely it's been a lot of fun to watch

[@alecfields1153]

Welcome back! There's just something about ripping open a pack and pulling a rare card

[@SquishiestSquidy]

That Black Luster Soldier play at the end was one of the coolest plays! You guys are always entertaining to watch

[@alecfields1153]

When I drew it I had to do a double take! I couldn't believe I drew exactly what I needed

[@TS-21]

Can't wait to see what you guys might do with the next pack series. Really hope to see this format continue. It's been such a blast to watch!

[@theIRHchannel]

I do wish we got to see another appearance from a reprint set like Dark Beginnings 2. There were so many game changing cards we never got to see. But, on the other hand, I'm glad neither Rare Hunter had an excess of MST (Mystical Space Typhoon) or Raigeki type cards. Really did make the series a coin toss of who might win. The 'Best 2 out of 3' format is refreshing. Not sure I'd say every episode needed it but, glad it was included here, otherwise, the episode would've been a lot shorter. If you wanted to expand on that style, could continue the '2 out of 3' style with the inclusion of a side deck. That would give each player a bit of flexibility after seeing each others cards, ability to adapt and overcome. Love the series. Obviously, these packs are UBER expensive this day and age. But, if availability and funding is not an issue, love to see the series expand further with a Season 2. Maybe, if you did reach the GX era, you could start over and begin again starting with that era's cards (as many I know, including myself, did when the show came out) but, that is a question for a, hypothetical, future date. Keep up the good work, Rare Hunters, master Marik will be proud!

[@Mike-nw3fn]

I love this series with a passion, I'd love to see maybe another "Larry in the hole" style version of this series. You guys make entertaining content, and I love watching more videos whenever they come!

[@MEpurgolders]

We will miss this series. Hope you can find some way to continue it. Entertainment level is off the charts.

[@KyeGuard]

Most excellent match. Really looking forward to next episode. Flaming Eternity has my all-time favorite card, Sacred Phoenix of Nephtyhs, so i'll be rooting for whoever cracks it! lol

[@CornBreadtm1]

It's just great to see Black Luster Soldier being a big game ending boss monster again.

[@0rnami]

I love how you guys used Harpie's Brother in the Harpie deck, since it doesn't fit in as well nowadays due to the renaming of the card.

[@MrSegadude21]

I don't think it ever worked. Everything was always "Harpie lady"

[@0rnami]

@@MrSegadude21 In that case, it makes me wonder why they ever bothered naming him a Harpie in the first place.

[@loganbritton6737]

@@MrSegadude21 There are Harpie support cards that mention "Harpie" cards and aren't named Harpy Lady. That's why they had to change the English name, because it was never supposed to be a Harpie card in the first place. Like how Frog the Jam isn't a Frog, or how Summoned Skull is supposed to be an Archfiend.

[@emerald0310]

So excited it’s back, though I’m a bit sad to hear it’s ending soon. Such an awesome series guys!

[@GrievousFrom]

This is my favorite series on the channel. If it were to come to an end, I would still watch but it just wouldn't be the same. I love these old cards and the old-school duels you don't see in the crappy modern scene.

[@sillysphinx2330]

I love seeing the ELEMENT cards getting unexpected support! It would be awesome to see them pop back again

[@HaezeusYT]

The journey can’t come to an end 😢

[@alecfields1153]

Every end is a beginning to a new story

[@DarkSymphony777]

larry: no my rare hunters i am not proud of you. you brought me all these rare cards. but you paid for them, your supposed to go around and challenge people to this childrens card game and then cheat em out of their cards. rare hunters don't pay for things. now go down the street and buy me a sandwhich. extra mayo

[@jasmineboivin7758]

ngl I rewatch this series for Alec's over-acting/monologuing like in the anime, and Paul's unwavering chill and sportsmanship (especially for a Rare Hunter). Master Marik ought to be proud.

[@nicbentulan]

Tbh, I'm not THAT interested in Yu-Gi-Oh!, but I'm still KINDA interested, so I'm glad to see that there are some people REALLY interested so that I can enjoy as a kinda interested fan / follower.

[@EdwardSanchezProductions]

I love this series so much

[@kevinmark6389]

It didn't occur to me until later that this series is slightly dependent on finding physical copies of the booster packs, so egg on me for not realizing this series can't have a set schedule

[@MrWiddit]

Please do this series again. It’s so good. It really reminds me how my friends and I used to play back in middle school. Perhaps you can do best of 3 per episode as well.

[@bluejeanking8495]

I think the Harpie Girl @ 5:08 is the OCG artwork. I had to do a double-take on it.

[@huntermccaskill3938]

By the way, I've been going back through the videos from a couple years ago Alec's lost a LOT of weight since then, looks a lot healthier Just wanted to shoutout and say good job dude!

[@metalmario1231]

I enjoyed the fact it was best of 3. its always nice to see more dueling action

[@davefreeman5837]

Like every other series I ever loved it all ends too soon. It was a fun ride while it lasted though! The Duel was very nice and I like that Paul loosed up and just had fun instead of focusing too much on the strat.

[@italianpc4119]

You two laughing your asses off the end of game 1 was so hilarious and cute

[@josealigueri1570]

What i liked about this duel, is that If Paul had destroyed mirror force, Alec would have used monster reencarnación to bring back the monk, Paul attacks woth harpies brother, and then with lady, finally Alec using delincuent dúo, Paul has no hand but has the field, could have been a very different duel just by that choice alone

[@alecfields1153]

It's always nerve-wracking when playing these duels. One interaction can seal your fate

[@geoffreycoffin857]

This has been one of my favourite series on your channel, even if it ends I'd love to see something similar.

[@sirswagabadha4896]

This was a really close one, I love the best of 3 now that there are more strategies swinging the pace of the game. Having ultimate rares of lower tier cards was something I miss from back in those days, getting a shiny copy of a card you like even if it's not that good was really cool. Although it is also a bit disappointing if the holo you pull is just a shiny version of a rare you didn't want

[@kisattila3809]

I'm so sad that this series is coming to an end! This was the best thing happened on youtube in the past 10 years. Not like I'm not a fan of your other content and team members

[@Thewriteway2fail]

14:01 to 14:11 reminds me of the scene from Norbit when he interrupts the wedding😂😂

[@Frg31]

Yeeah, baby! One more in the bag for the Black Luster Soldier. 😆 Awesome as always, guys! Looking forward for the next one.

[@NickTheGrimReaper]

i love this series so much and i find it really entertaining

[@DenTehMan]

Paul made a small mistake, saying that his Harpie Lady (1) had 1600 ATK with his Harpie's Hunting Ground out; Harpie Lady had 1800 ATK, since its effect also boosts itself. Good to see this got corrected soon after. And great series, duelists!

[@nigelkilliktee5418]

great episode, fun duels to watch, one thing about the set is, harpie girl managed to slip the censorship, but beside that, great video as always, going to miss it when it ends sometime later

[@CottonPuffFluffer]

Would be fun to see a season 2 where you do Gx stuff

[@MegaVenom2099]

I could see them doing the GX series as the Shadow Riders

[@billyraychavis6143]

I check every week looking forward to the rare hunters. Great series guys.

[@Petrichorscreen]

Dont you dare end this series! Change the name if you must but not the concept!! It's so good! 😄

[@ren5253]

Thank you guys for this series. It was super fun to watch.

[@rook5848]

It honestly would be so cool if you continued doing this series through all the sets to present day. I understand that the cost of some of the sets might get pretty high but if you do decide to pursue it I would 100% watch.

[@thegeneral713]

i just started watching this series, just wanted to thank you guys for making such entertaining yugioh content

[@spikeness118]

Cant wait to see who is playing Master Marik. I Lowkey hopes its Prof i think that would be soo funny. This has been a very fun to watch. Keep up the 12/10 work you guys do.

[@alecfields1153]

Rise of the Destiny is a sleeper set in my opinion. I can't believe someone let us get a first ed box! Did you pull from this set? What was your best pull?

[@PuNaNy]

“I’ll use his effect to change him into a fire monster, i dont know 🤷🏻‍♂️” lmao. Sly

[@hoehere_Gewalt]

Damn, either you or I have great timing. I just opened youtube and see that the new Rare Hunters episode has been uploaded 37 seconds ago, so I guess ITS TIME TO DUEL!

[@joshmyers7602]

Dark Blade the Dragon Knight could have saved Paul from BLS! His life points were wide open for Dark Blade's attack. He even knew about Chaos Sorcerer so he should have been monitoring the GY.

[@Galcian1995]

I know the series might be nearing the end of this part but please keep it up with newer packs and we love the series

[@cullermann2]

Bold move to switch up the strategy by this much for the best of 3 series, loved that by now you could kinda build a whole themed deck :D looking forward to the season finale and hopefully more to come. I guess you guys are planning on doing a completely new deck in season 2? either way, im all the way in :D

[@ethanlewis4678]

Man I get hype when I see yall post these rare hunters

[@PartyPetey101]

I really love this series and look forward for the next. I love the different new takes you guys come up with, but 1 suggestion maybe do a recap of your pulls and maybe talk about possible different options.

[@theamericankaiser4549]

25:40 that was something straight out of anime there

[@Halomasterchief16]

I love this series. Always brightens my day and makes me want to play some Yu-Gi-Oh (then master duel ends that lol). Cannot wait for the next episode, keep up the awesome work

[@OriginalVoiceBox]

I honestly forgot this had a plot line lol. Cant wait to see what happens with master marik

[@Floyd037]

29:00 Paul's hands are so huge, the card appears so small ! 😂

[@Syluxmaster]

So, is one of your souls going to end up in the shadow realm for eternity after the next episode? I don't think Master Marik would spare the loser of the series.

[@spierball]

im from the netherlands, and while that is far away id love to get some old cards. At home we play, using only cards pre GX. Buying some bulk and making equal decks, the speed duel realy helped us out. Curently having 13 decks to chose from. Would love some more variation.

[@victhefoxygamer]

Rare Hunter Standings: Paul: 5-8 Alec: 8-5 Alec grabs the win, and the Rare, thanks to his buff monsters and casually jogs through the wind monsters with little resistance. Congrats and I look forward to Episode 18!

[@SargeWolf010]

This Duel literally had me on the edge of my seat 🤣

[@TheBombayMasterTony]

14:08, funny reaction from Paul. Good duel.

[@JonReid01]

Way to go Alec. Rooting for you in the finale

[@daltonsharp6933]

Quote of the video, "she really looking back at it" lol I died when you said that 🤣

[@nosrin1988]

I question Paul's sanity going with the wind theme! lol well okay, probably trying to mix things up and keep them interesting but uh... Ya I knew he was going to loose as soon as I saw it!

[@Bheckler24]

I love that the last episode will end pretty much on the last set I remember playing a kid. After that I dropped tcgs until Hearthstone (and then Magic) so it's a perfect last stop on the nostalgia train

[@59squares]

This was the last set I ever bought packs for as a kid, my LGS was offering a reopening special where you could get 3 packs for $6. I didn't get anything good but I do recognize a lot of cards in this video. Keep it up!
