[@alecfields1153]

I feel like Paul is the only person who buys these products! Have yoiu guys ever bought one of these? If so what was your best pull?

[@Otterino]

I once got a Black Luster Soldier: Envoy of the Beginning out of one.

[@TheSvmurai]

i wanted to try, but y'all vids make me think otherwise LOL

[@valutaatoaofunknownelement197]

Long time ago I used to buy the 20 commons and 1 rare from Walmart. I pulled a Malefic Rainbow Dragon from them once.

[@chopshop94]

No joke I pulled a chaos emperor dragon from an invasion of chaos reprint set (prior to the 25th anniversary) still was very happy with it but otherwise the boxes are kind of garbage

[@Shubba_Dubba]

I bought four of the walmart holiday boxes last year out of boredom, got a ton of random old cards from packs, three Mechanized Madness structures and a Weevil vs Raptor speed duel thing. Not worth $90 lol, but it was fun. :)

[@TeamAPS]

*Been a while since we've done of these Yu-Gi-Oh challenges, but I found the packs at Walmart and Target and thought they'd be fun for old times' sake! The duel was surprisingly exciting, too! Drop a Like if you enjoyed it!* 👍🏾

[@zakkmiller8242]

I love the chemistry between all you guys. Makes me wish I had friends like yall in my life! Thanks for the uploads, fellas. Quality content for days.

[@panblu]

Same same, need friends like this too

Duel me in master duel My main deck is all fish and I don’t have a single fish in my extra deck 👀😂

[@Djidgy]

Fun fact if your upset with your purchase and save the receipt and are very nice to customer service they'll send you more ofnthese mystery boxes for free 😂

[@KamenStreamer]

Really?

[@panblu]

@@KamenStreamergotta be lies

[@KamenStreamer]

@@panblu that's what I'm thinking

[@fennecfoxfanatic]

Wait for real?

[@panblu]

@@fennecfoxfanatic you already opened the packages they won’t accept it, the only real way is if you didn’t open none of the products, opening products like that is like trying to return them underwear’s they simply won’t accept it back

[@daviddent5662]

Paul actually might have stumbled on the best way to do these kinds of challenges: Speed Rules for the deck size. It helps boost consistency and it makes some arcetypes actually work better, as we saw with Furhires and Speedroids here as well as making one D/D/D and it's trap essentially a game winning move. It should be a rule I think or at least something you can invoke if you feel a forty or more card pile won't work.

[@thehonoredone2361]

I love the duel's but my favorite part of these is always the beginning. opening of the fresh pack of cards and that fresh new card smell never gets old.

[@Naucturna]

Damn near my favorite too but I don't really like them knowing eachothers pulls versus blind minus trades, a big fan none the less and it's their channel not me.

[@l3luel3xus]

“You don’t even have to shuffle the decks, it’s already random” 😂😂😂

[@YokomichiSilver]

It has to be stormforth. Sure being able to pop two of your opponents monsters back into the deck and getting it shuffled is bad for them and great for you but anything that lets you sacrifice your opponents monster(s) with no cost on your side is much worse and the only downside is you can't summon monsters from the extra deck? Anytime a card that lets you use an opponents monster as fodder for a gain will always be worst, well for them that is it's great for whoever played the card. This coming from someone who did a lockdown burn deck with lava golems long ago.

[@ivolopez-felix5270]

Duels like this are amazing. It's literally modern playground yugioh

[@Burn2themall]

I like how this was basically an early 5ds duel where one low level ish synchro won the day

[@greenninjaX2]

I find it funny that "Spirit Message "L"" is the most accurate card to describe these products xD

[@cubiCampla]

Others may have said it by now but those "Lite Edition" packs are from dollar stores like Dollar General!

[@TheFatalcrest]

XD The fact those even got made hurt my soul a little. 3 Cards, not even 5 is a crazy idea

[@cubiCampla]

@@TheFatalcrest in the pokemon 3 card packs I got a Holo XY evolutions Charizard :)

[@TheFatalcrest]

@@cubiCampla xD that's a great pull

[@Blizz3112]

wait, how did Alec gain control over Myutant Beast? I thought it cannot be targeted by Monster Effects?

[@UltimaKamenRiderFan1]

It's a more casual duel, these sorts of things happen.

[@oman4229]

Very cool🙂 Hey Paul, I've been watching arc V & have an amazing idea. You & team aps should set up yugi-tubers first real life action duel either in the house or in the park. You can start with weaker structure decks & the action cards can be some of yugioh's most iconic/ busted cards to help but you can only use that effect once & only until the end of that turn regardless if the card is continuous or has a lingering effect.

[@RayIndo]

Yo love what you guys do. Plz don’t slow down the content.

[@stubenhockershr1161]

winning without Trap Hole, this is madness I say!

[@isaac81player]

We have the lite version packs at our Dollar General in Mt. Vernon, IN

[@vandieyahya1024]

Team APS is really fun and chill to watch playing this 2 decade old card games. Really liked it 😃

[@MediocreTCG]

Those Lite Edition go for like 1.25 but my house. I usually grab a couple when I'm buying detergent 😂 Got some decent pulls

[@TeamAPS]

Every now and then, they'll even have a decent card inside!

[@blockman89]

If you guys get the time to do it, you should do a homemade draft box. You can get reusable booster packs online or use something like cassette cases to make the packs. It's a good way to recycle old bulk that you never use. It's a lot of fun if you try to mimic a certain era of yugioh or use homebrew rules to have interesting archetype interactions.

[@drivillain4967]

Those lite packs are from Dollar Tree. That's the only place I've seen the "Lite" packs at.

[@buddyzilla4557]

I've seen the light packs at the Dollar store in the past. Same with pokemon. They are essentially promotional packs with about a third of the cards per pack and half the hit rate as well. It could be worth it back when things were relaly a dollar at the dollar store and you bought most of all the box. It was still quite an investment since it was A LOT of packs, (I THINK 100 or 120) but there tended to be at least three higher hits and a handfull or lesser ones per box; with the REALLY good ones being a possibility but not a guarantee. People would pre-order the boxes online to be shipped toy heir dollar store and it got a bit hard to find an open one for just a handful grab after a while.

[@johnnyphesto1247]

The thumbnail made me think Trell cut his dreads. I almost started crying.

[@stevejohnson6593]

I felt it when he said "I still don't know what they do, but in Duel Links they're dangerous"

[@sirswagabadha4896]

That stormforth was dirty, obviously there aren't any amazing targets to out with it in a deck like this but it just feels so bad to have your own monster tributed for an opponent's cost

[@ShamankingZuty]

This seems like so much fun. I'd love to see this concept made into it's own board game or something.

[@dailybugle2147]

Those card packs are most likely resealed. Random boxes consist of them since the companies also sell high value singles they pull from them.

[@ArcDevo]

Love the vid. Would have liked to see all the pulls.

[@mcdoogle_robotman]

I bought one of those holiday boxes and got a Change of Heart in that plastic rated cases, that's about it. From the cube & chaos box nothing notable besides a Magicians Souls from Magical Warriors.

[@mageius]

I hate to say it but if you ever find the power cubes that were originally done and I'm talking about from the DM-5Ds eras he would usually get like five pretty good packs in them.

[@danieldegeorge7974]

Fun video as always. I love the banter lol. Both the spell and trap seemed like powerful cards but im to much of a noob to say which is worst to deal with.

[@basickthadon2636]

Favorite line from this video "And you had a real archetype" 😂

[@sandyjourneys]

I have the urge to watch Yu-Gi-Oh! specifically the Duke Devlin episode, where he made a deck out of packs he just opened and then beat Joey with it.

[@thaddeusrussell8919]

Coolest thing I ever got from a power cube is a first edition original printing of Ash Blossom ($80 at the time) I like that it let's you get older sealed packs like that

[@DJK707Translations]

12:19 Trell is the only one who thought of pendulums going to the extra deck. Be honest

[@bakersdozzzen6553]

"Can it activate and resolve legally?" That sent me😂

[@jannesbaade5645]

4:30 as a german hearing him pronaunce Fräulein like that, made me drop my weiner into my beer.

[@justdominic551]

The hero lite pack is solid in Dollar stores

[@yoshifine6545]

Totally seeing the gundam boxes in the background!

[@joshuaredic9642]

“I’m getting out of HERE” 🤣

[@TRIassicFORCE151]

gotta love the dollar store 3 card packs lol

[@facenemesis]

Hi I was wondering where you guys got your playmats, particularly the other red and blue one you have that looks similar to the one in this vid but it has some egyptian looking symbols in the background. Thanks!

[@savagesal3381]

I agree with Alec in the first duel no monsters sucks and one counter in the first duel wazzup

[@stevenkennyjr7843]

Monarch storm is worse in this situation I think 😂

[@magicalnewsmaneditsbumpers4374]

4:20 Lite Edition packs are from dollar stores.

[@stephenborders2883]

Lite Edition packs are usually found at Dollar General

[@UberUzel]

4:23 I find light edition packs at Dollar General often

[@teicreates]

Idea: No effect monsters. You must rely on spell and traps. Alternative: Use duelist kingdom rules

[@liam-398]

The amount of unplayable cards actually shows the issue with the modern game of yu-gi-oh. The game has become so highly conditional and interdependent that you can't actually pull from random packs to just get something going. It's the same reason why deck-builder youtubers tend to go buy singles first to get their decks going. I like watching you guys make content, but I am not willing to invest in this game in it's current state.

[@klaystaccs]

I love these challenges 🙏🏽. I’ve been buying cards and getting back into the game. I want to go to my local card shop and give it a go

[@mangad.fabonacci2037]

Recently Bought a Power Cube, and my foreign card was a First Edition Lord of D from some sort of Early Kaiba pack, in English it's worth a lot, but I don't know how much in Portuguese, lol

[@mrbobandmrbird]

Just based off of The Thumbnail I Thought it said “CHADS BOX” I was like There is absolutely no way I refuse to believe THIS MEME IS STILL ALIVE🤣

[@PSYCHOxFROST]

"Cannot be special summoned except with a myutant card. Your opponent can not target this card with monster effects" so graydle can't equip and it couldn't be summoned if you ever play myutants in future

[@rageboy2k7]

Trell forgive for not spelling your name correctly but where did you get that gengar phone case because it is fire

[@drizzt04]

I actually got it from Temu 🙂

[@russfullerton-studer7468]

Those lite packs sell at dollar stores for $3.50 for 2 and they're 99% the same cards

[@ShonicBurn]

We need to start a petition for Konami to sell draft format sets to put these scams away for good.

[@resdraon]

I picked some up a year ago because it was good bulk for dollar, butttt they were all resealed and some were even bootlegged cards....Ahhh good times

[@pikminlord343]

Such a fun challenge! Great video

[@desmondsantiago2399]

i Love how bad the duel was. Pure comedy

[@trumpeter811]

During the second duel the guy on the right broke the rules. the Mutant monster can't be targeted by monster effects so he couldn't have taken the myutant

[@shmack757]

I have seen the Lite packs at Dollar General. I think they come with 2 lite packs and a surprise card, I THINK. I'd be interested if you do a pack battle with these packs to see if they have value and somewhat competitive.

[@zachpelletier2183]

After years of Watching I just realized Trell is a fellow sasuke fan! I got the curse mark tattoo too lol.

[@tricmagic]

The Speedroid can banish a machine to deal 900 damage. Not that it matters yeah~

[@blacklancejeo6625]

They're willing to spend that much money, so we wouldn't have to

[@thatepicwizardguy]

Problem with yugioh highlighted in this video is all the themes which make a ton of cards straight unplayable without that themed deck... its why early yugioh is better for a straight up pack to duel experience and its why magic has and probably always will be a better product to open in general

[@UberUzel]

I see find them often at Meijer here in Indiana.

[@KingChiggy]

The light edition of packs I have only seen sold in like dollar stores like Dollar Tree.

[@Giru]

Monarchs Stormforth is magnitudes better than Liberty At Last given the board, the deck situation and the simplified gamestates, it's not even close!

[@PsyGo0ze]

I opened one of these and got Spanish cards and I don’t speak! But it was definitely funny to open

[@MASTEROFC4]

trell just made a fur hire deck without alec knowing but trell has no extra deck meanwhile alec

[@mg4880-v3h]

I bought a power cube a few months ago, pulled an UR Avramax

[@kipihamazaki9207]

guy should get a bunch of these boxes and do a draft version of this with the other members

[@jackkoshel9759]

Would you please make more videos of this?

[@GhostintheMachine25]

Alec gave me an idea for a them duel, since he hated the cards so much. He should have to face darkness from season 4 gx as an additional challenge since his cards probably feeling salty lol

[@tr03gam3r]

Lite Edition = Dollar store pack. Usually completely worthless commons for the most part.

[@RunicSigils]

They have guaranteed rares in these.

[@donellegale7128]

dude the pack that has 3 cards is from dollar general i seen them yesterday

[@deshaynbrice3087]

They got the dollar tree or dollar general special packs lol

[@jconny65]

lite edition packs are probably made for dollar stores

[@jamestaylor2408]

Me, the Myutant Player: Beast cannot be targeted by monster effects or special summoned except by a Myutant card ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@brucwayn6403]

Re watched your 4 man ebay vid earlier today and its always fun to see what you guys do with these truly trash decks lol

[@ryanmann5497]

Boardstate doesn’t even matter, stormforth is worse 😂

[@-flyboylou-242]

Cube from target, box from walmart

[@insertusername9755]

But can this be truly bad, there even was synchron summon ;) ?

[@FrancisYorkMorganFBI]

how about a 4 player battle royal next? like the one they had between yugi, joey, marik and kaiba inside the duel tower.

[@briancastaneda6262]

I avoid those Yu-Gi-Oh power cube Yu-Gi-Oh chaos box from Walmart and Target it's a scam 😒

[@RunicSigils]

They are literally made by the same people who distribute to retail in general. The normal packs are a scam according to you. Hope you've never bought anything from Walmart or Target etc. where MJ Holdings put them.

[@-Cloudz-]

Yal look blazeeeeed LOLOL

[@brentjones8628]

Hard to watch from the side view. GG

[@Professor_Ethical]

The fact Alec won with speedroids.

[@ONLY1NOBLE]

Pulled a starlight stardust out of those power cubes god is good

[@taylorelliott8824]

That Was funny and entertaining.

[@AmmyRyu]

I don't know how well this can work, but what if, when doing these random pack duels, you ignore specific monster names on cards. So like a fusion monster that requires two specific monsters will now just require two monsters and poly. It would definitely be a little messy, but it could be fun being able to add the random boss monsters you get from different archetypes.

[@True2ChainzLilWayne]

I say just make the fusion require either the same type or same attribute. So b skill dragon could be “2 dark monsters” for ex.

[@irongiantBH]

I picked up the one with the foreign packs. Was real mid

[@tomsuckley9165]

These are both from Walmart and not Target!

[@dwschout]

Lite edition are dollar store packs

[@TalesoftheChronic]

Where is the next Larry in the hole coming out?

[@DTO3167]

2020 I got the power cube x 10 from Amazon, the key chains were cool, the cards were okay Amazon hasn’t sold any since Paul bashed them lol

[@TeamAPS]

Whoops! 😅

[@wolfpower166]

So the Lite Edition is from Dollar Generals. I know because we got them at my Dollar General.

[@RunicSigils]

The Lite edition is from dollar stores in general. Canada and Europe don't have Dollar Generals but we do have other places they go. It wouldn't make sense to make them for one single retailer.

[@wolfpower166]

@RunicSigils ive only see them at my work is why I said that

[@ReVist]

I got a powerbox from Walmart with the dogtag and got nothing just for laughs

[@siscrazycardcollector4407]

Amazing video 😮

[@broww.]

This didn't show up in recommended when it came out, weird.
