We're finally back for Slifer Slackers. This time, Paul and Alec are opening Elemental Energy to pull some rare cards, plus some Duelist Packs from Jaden and Zane! Elemental Energy includes several new "Elemental HERO" monsters, used by Jaden Yuki in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime, along with many cards used by his rival, Chazz Princeton, including the expansion of the "XYZ" monsters into "VWXYZ". It also features "Queen's Knight", "King's Knight" and "Jack's Knight"; long awaited cards from the original Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. Alexis Rhodes cards are also contained such as Cyber Blader.
A new set of cards introduced in this set are the "Dark World" monsters, which have powerful effects that activate when they are discarded from the hand, and they are the most anticipated from this set. In the OCG the card "Pot of Avarice" was also highly anticipated due to its use in "Gadget" Decks.
Highly sought after cards include "Pot of Avarice" and the "Dark World" cards.

No because the ads are extremely annoying. You got my click and comment. I hope they pay you guys well because it ruins the video for me.

[@Roge9]

@@Mr.HootieHooRDK you literally can just skip the ad you baby.

[@alecfields1153]

Did you notice our Slifer Slacker jackets? Maybe we'll be able to get promoted by the end of the series 🤔

[@KingTitanKiller]

I would love to see a type of promotion

[@KingTitanKiller]

Also I like when you do in depth deck profiles can you please go back

[@h1_hru]

When they Going on sale?

[@zaquhe]

Where'd you get them? I'd love to get one myself!

[@THAC0MANIC]

maybe when / if you guys can beat a better dueliest in a higher ranking like RA - Yellow in a best out of 3 or such with your measly Red decks ...

[@darkyagami5508]

So in case anyone else is wondering what they were thinking with Burst Return, in the anime it was used along side a card called Burst Impact that was basically Dark Hole if you controlled Burstinatrix, and wouldnt destroy her. Too bad they never made burst impact a real card.

[@reddragon9064]

its only use now is in a mirror match which to be fair bouncing all your opponents monsters is not a bad effect but unless you know there a high chance of a hero mirror match it not worth putting in your deck

[@SakuraAvalon]

@@reddragon9064 Even then, it's terrible. Who's using Burstinatrix is 2023?

[@reddragon9064]

@@SakuraAvalon was talking about more sealed situations not like the cards they using in video are being played today either

[@wiewio8035]

Burst Return is also used for its return effect in one duel. You know, that one convinient effect when your Avian and Sparkman are taken with the effect of Maiden in Love and you just have this random card that can return them to your hand

[@eheroairman]

@@SakuraAvaloni am. Just because something isnt meta in your locals doesnt mean people dont run decks they actually like playing

[@Dalvazar]

I feel like using cards pulled from Rare Hunters could be allowed if it directly supports cards you pull in Slifer Slackers. No mirror force or delinquent duo of course, but stuff like poly or xyz dragon cannon and its materials would work.

[@masansr]

I was thinking what would be a fair trade for the older cards. Maybe they can trade 5 cards they actually played last game for 1 card from their previous run? I am not sure how many dupes they've pulled, so it can either be a too harsh of a payment or a nothing at all. Banned/limited cards should obviously be excluded from that trade.

[@shadowfan115]

​@@masansrI mean that can actually kill some of their decks as 5 for 1 is kinda bad

[@soundwave336]

When you summon Tempest by fusing those three monsters you get… RAID SHADOW LEGENDS!!!

[@eMeSTy]

"My deck has no pathetic cards!" "Doesnt your deck have a Bubbleman?" *sigh* ".........yeah."

[@TheBombayMasterTony]

27:24 was funny. 33:34, "Spark on... I don't know what that was supposed to mean but... The sparks are flying!", haha. 37:21, "Shh", haha. Good duels.

[@TylerW44]

The duelist packs were a sick choice. Very cool.

[@mihajloselmic476]

16:10 I almost screamed at Alec to attack with Clayman to attack and destroy Cyber Phoenix cuz he had Skyscaper in play

[@ScribbleVT]

The look on Alec's face when he stares into the camera after attacking a second Cyber Phoenix is incredibly hilarious to me.

[@JaimeD.]

Elemental HERO Thunder Giant is so cool and has a nice effect. The HERO archetype always has a place in my heart through memory lane after the past years since the GX Era.

[@a_new_leaf_eric5828]

At end of a season of these it be cool to combine all the cards yall got and build a deck out of everything for the final battle

[@DarkSymphony777]

for context, burst return is a anime card based off a episode where jaden dueled a girl with a monster that had the ability to take jaden's monsters. but only male monsters. leaidng to jaden using burst return to bounce avian and sparkman (and a hilarious exchange between the two duel monsters agreeing to never mention this to the other elemental heroes) so he jaden could win with burstinatrix

[@VictorTAnderson]

Easily the best YGO series on KZbin 🔥🔥

[@Baghead-gr3mx]

You may be right, but have you seen the yugioh structure deck tier list at voice with yugi, kaiba, and Joey? It has its own plot and has good reasoning to the placement of the decks. You should shock it out.

[@japan100100]

Idk. Yugioh masochist from Cimo is pretty darn good lol.

[@pol610]

[@oldschooldbz7902]

I love this set back then and it's still one of my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh sets of all time

[@user-qo2bk4qb6v]

Cutting to the ad spot mid-sentence is wild 💀💀💀 great video!

[@Otterino]

See, the purpose behind Burst Return is for when your opponent has taken control of your monsters via the effect of something like Maiden in Love and you want them not to have them, and specifically for that purpose.

[@SakuraAvalon]

In other words, it's a card that simply exists for the plot of a show, and doesn't actually work in real life.

[@nicholasfarrell5981]

​@SakuraAvalon yep.

[@maximillianedwards3807]

Wow. I was more engaged for the Spear Dragon and Sakuretsu armor interaction than I was for Day 1 of Worlds this year. Great content as always Paul and Alec! I truly love this series 👏

[@resper9645]

I'm extraordinarily jealous of that ultimate rare Sillva!! What a sick pull!

[@KaoruMzk]

Burst Return exists because Judai used it in exactly one filler episode to get back the E-Heroes the no-name antagonist of the week stole from him. The fact that it got printed over actual useful stuff is still baffling to me.

[@s.oddity3640]

Reminder: Red eyes metal dragon is a card

[@matenko8370]

It was against Blair Flannigan (Rei Saotome) iirc

[@SakuraAvalon]

I was gone to comment on how she's not a no-name, but I forgot most people never saw her return, because Season 4 never got dubbed.

[@SkywardSpork]

I think for more variety, you should be allowed to throw in a couple important cards like polymerisation or if you've it in the previous series, the materials to make dope fusion monsters.

[@shadowbandit147]

Paul mentioned using cards from the rare hunters series and now I have a headcanon that they're rare hunters on campus dueling students for their priceless rare cards all over again. Jaden better be careful or else his winged kuriboh might get nabbed

[@blueminer24611]

the sleeves they're using for the extra deck are so sick

If Paul Had Attacked Directly With His 2300 ATK Monster In The First Duel, Alex Couldn't Use Brain Control At The End

[@DaDestroyer1986]

Why didn’t he just take the Cyber Dragon? That’s the best card in the deck.

[@gtinimr1970]

you have to give yourself the xyz from rare hunters, this is one of the only game states where wvxyz can be playable.

[@Poeboy-tx1de]

I’m telling you guys. Midterm Duel where you can use cards from the last series. Even in the GX show they got to get cards to boost their decks before exams 😂😂

[@matthewthompson6169]

Hey guys, I just wanted to say I had been out of Yugioh since I finished the 5D’s anime, and one random day about a year ago I saw one of your videos and got instantly hooked. The new meta stuff and links/pendulums/xyz and all of this is so new to me. It’s weird how much the game has changed. I know one thing for sure though, Team APS has helped me tremendously with your knowledge. Keep up the great work guys!

[@daviddent5662]

What a match! So much back and forth, after Cyber Phoenix got removed anyway, and quite a few awesome GX era cards with fun effects but also some classic moves like using Lei Lei's lack of brains and all in brawn against himself. XD I love that Alec summoned Spark Man so much this duel He's honestly still my favorite even with so many other 'updated' ones to choose from. Just always loved the look and feel of him. Also really loving the Slifer Red uniforms guys! Very drippy.

[@Atlantafan21]

2:13 I’ve been fusing Bubbleman, Avian, and Sparkman wrong this whole time. Been summing Tempest when I could’ve been summoning Raid Shadow Legends

[@johnthomas6073]

"He's not a hero but he IS a warrior" sick ass quote you would probably hear in a song lol. @16:43

i totes love these videos! oh i also still have a 1st edition cyber dragon and 1st edition rainbow dragon and a few ultimate rares( a mix of unlimited and 1st edition ) fr om the gx era and a 1st edition cyber twin dragon i got in a trade too.

[@Halomasterchief16]

Solid back and forth. Normally cheering for Paul, but Alec was the real hero this time. Loved the duel and cannot wait for more!

[@semicharmedlife311]

As a Ra Yellow student, you'll never get into our dorm at this rate, Slackers. 😆🤣

[@Revanaught]

I get why people wanted the decks to be more differentiated but NGL, I kinda wish it didn't happen by opening different packs. One thing I really liked with the rare hunter series was seeing the decks wildly split off despite opening the same packs and often getting the same cards. It was neat seeing the deck building evolve and diverge from the same starting place.

[@darnellreyes571]

in this match i smell a total rig i will not fast forward till the end

[@wileycorgi4138]

Drillroid slowly becoming one of my favorite cards because of this series

[@CW-hw8nu]

I wish the anime had realistic duels like this. "Draw...I end my turn"

[@nicholasfarrell5981]

6:12 - I remember Jaden playing it against Blair in her first appearance, where she had a wedding-themed deck that stole his Elemental Heroes; it bounced his cards from her side of the field and let him attack her monster with Burstinatrix.

[@stephenborders2883]

Paul looked so mad when Alec compulsed his Cyber Barrier Dragon

[@DigitalxGamer]

The only use I've ever had for Burst Return: Re-summon Stratos. xD

[@michaelbread5906]

26:30 LOL, I knew that face down couldn't have been Clayman. Alec had polymerization in his hand, and Sparkman on the field.

[@redheat465]

Amazing how Paul lost both his Duels by not attacking with Lele 😂

[@victhefoxygamer_6180]

Slifer Slackers Standings: Paul: 1-2 (7-10) Alec: 2-1 (10-7) Heroes absolutely jumped into the action and easily saved the day. Skynet will have to try again.

[@Nick-di9dv]

6:30 Dude i cant believe you used the sountrack of the bakugan game on ps2 . Alite!!!!!!

Love the Duelist packs being added definitely helped the decks feel different cant wait to see more show up as the series goes on. If you pick up the cazz pack it has direct support for the Vwxyz cannon. I did miss seeing the decks talked about more but great games and videos always love this series

[@BrendonStMarie]

What year did the Air Neos one come out? And what’s gonna happen when you get there, if I recall those are a pretty penny

[@azothlegacy]

Slifer Slackers and Rare Hunters are definitely the best yugioh series here on youtube! I'm having a blast watching you guys play the game with the same cards I've grown with, the very cards I know and like the most and I am very attached to... It's just so good! Btw synchro era yugioh was my last playing the game so I'm looking up to that series with a lot of interest but also with a little bit of sadness... after that I'll be completely unable to understand the game ahaha

[@tommacpherson5852]

I miss Paul's rock deck already! Great video still!

[@CatGuy969]

One of, if not my FAVORITE Her- Series you guys have on the channel! SUPER FUN!

[@yami_darius]

My favourite set of all time, Alec pulls 1 Sillva, nice, goes on to pull a freaking Ulti Sillva, the most beautiful of all yugioh cards but STILL decides against playing Dark World. My heart is broken and my day is ruined.

[@John-xz5te]

Now they're opening more packs to really going in on a set theme I'm looking forward to seeing how they're decks end up I'm predicting by the end itll be full on jaden vs Zane at the graduation duel 😂

[@sgz48]

Boy, Alec cleaned that box up 😂 nothing left for poor Paul.

[@brandonmatthews1569]

It's always nice to see an old school duel

[@Wubbaduckie]

Awesome duels pulling off cyber barrier dragon was cool, one minor misplay in duel one though. When Alec attacked steam roid with sparck man steamroid would've lost 500atk, so Paul would've taken 1000 damage. So the turn where Alec compulses Cyber Barrier he would've won with wildhearts attack. But very entertaining nonetheless, the character packs are a very good addition.

[@agent9671]

I'm pretty sure based on ruilings because steamroid drops it's attack before damage calculation, skyscraper doesn't activate since steamroid is now weaker, so the damage was correct

[@Wubbaduckie]

@agent9671 No both of them are "if" effects. So Skyscraper activates when you declare the attack, and Steamroid's effect activates during the damage step. So it wouldn't miss timing even if they happened at the same time, it would've just chained.

[@agent9671]

Pretty sure skyscraper was listed and continuous when I looked this up before but I could be wrong, also do remember they are using the ruilings as they were at the time and not modern rules.

[@Wubbaduckie]

@agent9671 True, also thinking on it I could see the ruling being that at the start of battle Sparkman would have the 1000 boost but when Steamroid has its effect active it drops below Sparkman mitigating Skyscraper. So yeah you are most likely correct lol 😁

[@shanegarcia5963]

Not attacking with lei lei screwed Paul every time 😂

[@Callmemrspencer]

23:22 when I say, I called another cyber Phoenix right before he declared attack. Oh my God, I love old school, Yu-Gi-Oh.

[@dragonknight1560]

I had a lot of fond memories with Elemental Energy, mainly the Special Edition one I was given... but I had to share the packs with my brother. I feel Paul is onto something. Like let's say if there were certain monsters that appeared in GX like the X-Y-Z monsters that Kaiba used that Chazz also used; you guys can pull cards from the Rare Hunters and transfer them to your collection. It's only fair!

[@Amis7683]

Man you guys are living my dream. Id love to have the possibility to buy all these old school packs and have a buddy to play sealed format with. Thanks for giving us this great content!

[@helper_games]

29:30 funniest part, even if you did have mirror force, wildheart is immune 😅

[@Poeboy-tx1de]

The constant turn passing reminded me of Odion pissing off Joey everytime he passed during their Battle City duel 😂😂😂

[@carter5377]

Every time Paul didn't attack with gramps, he got punished for it 😂 this is unga bunga YGO you just gotta swing for 2300 every time bro 😅

I really loved this video because the elemental Heroes are my number 1 favorite archtype

[@bernat616]

Purpose of BURST RETURN: recover your Heroes from these situations. - When your opponent gets control of one of your monster with Snatch Steal or Creature Swap - When your opponent has one of your monsters under the effect of an equip spell card or continuos trap card.

[@tricmagic]

You know. If Clayman attacked they would get the Skycraper buff to 1800 because the defender has 1200 ATK. As a side note, Mirror Force would do bupkiss to Wildheart~

[@juanwaffle1]

" You'll see what's small." - Alec

[@dangregh9940]

Maybe when the set comes out with dark guardian and the new yubel support while slifer slackers isn't over yet. you guys could implement an exam thing where you have to duel against one of the other team APS members who uses a gate guardian deck or other decks like the sacred beasts or yubel with the new support to win 3 copies of a card you didn't pull that you wanted for your deck and if you lose the opponent picks 3 cards from your deck and you lose those cards permanently as punisment for failing the exam

[@zaquhe]

At last, a new installment of my favorite yugioh series on KZbin! Also, today i learned Cyber Phoenixs negate effect is only active while it's in attack mode. Thats some whack card design.

[@taylorelliott8824]

It would be Kool if they could pick one monster they drew previously from rare hunters to add to thier deck

[@jtyler9130]

Just imagine if Paul had attacked with Lei Lei…like any time, he would have won first and third duel! 😅

[@VReric]

Man, it is a crime that Cyber Dragon was so short-printed in Zane's duellist pack. It was like one per box, so I'm happy Paul actually got one! You can probably get all of the XYZ pieces by using Chazz's duellist pack. Maybe give Alec some of Jaden's second duellist pack in exchange? Glad to see some Fusion monsters for once, and I didn't think anyone would summon Cyber Barrier Dragon in this series! Barrier and Laser are such bad cards, but I loved trying to make them work.

[@DM-Oz]

Honestly, Burst Return do be kinda crazzy in a mirror match. Me and a friend drafted (online of course) some duelist pack Jaden and i made sure to play both these cards

[@Aaron0000014]

I like how in game 1 alec found the only possible way to lose by making thunder giant and swinging with it first, which makes him lose to magic cylinder when no other attacks would be able to lose from that position.

[@BTGamenight]

Does anyone else think old school Yu-Gi-Oh was the most fun time to duel? : ]

[@gregmiller9280]

You mean when the game lasted more than 2 turns?

[@nosrin1988]

Me: "Well I activate, sakuretsu armor!" Paul: *actually does that* HOLY SHIT IM PSYCHIC!

[@cosmic0_0wizard]

Burst return is good against things that wipe the field. You can activate that spell card and save your cards from mirror force or other destruction cards

[@daskippy1]

I think y’all should just have 3 polys each during this series. It’s so fusion heavy it would make it a lot more fun for each of you.

[@midwesternviking_ttv2986]

That cut at 41:25 is awfully suspicious. 😂

[@kwameoliver2455]

Damn Paul got unlucky with those packs.

[@209tcgcollector6]

Dang Paul, got a bit shafted on those duelist packs. Great video as always

[@cosmic0_0wizard]

Also, if you could use the other dualist packs like you did for this one. Like he gets Alexa, you get Chaz, that would be cool, too.

[@SakuraAvalon]

If you think that's bad, his effect in the anime was worse. He instead of Discarding a card to give a Monster on the Field immunity to Battle Destruction, was instead, when he would be destroyed as a result of battle, you can send a card on your side of the Field to the Graveyard.

[@stevenashley27]

They should hit up Ruxin to learn the difference between retail and hobby boxes. That way they can get access to super and ultra ultis! I also still stand by the idea they should offer up their overall rarest card and not just the rarest card from their pulls
