[@eMeSTy]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@soundwave336]

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

[@mihajloselmic476]

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

[@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.

[@mainmarco123]

That match was am absolute meme with all the passing. Well done guys. Still the best series to date! :D

[@TylerW44]

The duelist packs were a sick choice. Very cool.

[@oldschooldbz7902]

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

[@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

[@jerodsemadeni1148]

Thanks!

[@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

[@ScribbleVT]

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

[@dipshit5000]

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

[@robertl.wilson1199]

Farming bad karma.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@johnthomas6073]

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

[@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.

[@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 👏

[@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!

[@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

[@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!

[@CW-hw8nu]

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

[@tritonhill9684]

2:01 vw tiger "jet" just to get to the better card faster lmao 😂

[@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.

[@blueminer24611]

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

[@DrPlaidShorts]

Alec needs to have an anime line like "This may shock you, but here comes Sparkman"

[@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.

[@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

[@resper9645]

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

[@iflavor8969]

I laughed so hard when Alec thought he was gonna win with Spear Dragon and got so pumped, then Paul flips Sakurestu Armor 😂😂😂😂

[@gtinimr1970]

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

[@CatGuy969]

[@GreedASF]

The first part of the battle they forgot about skyscraper 😂

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@darkking4979]

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

[@kings.kards08]

that Dust tornado and MST against his Skyscraper when he attacks was my favorite part of this video❤❤ woo !

[@SargeWolf010]

Cards from the past series are green lit 👍

[@kirinkirisake8719]

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.

[@EC_MusicMan]

As a returning player, and big fan of the old animes, I definitely chose the right year to return to the game with the legendary collection, the original booster sets coming out. To get the old nostalgia cards back again. But even after adapting to the current game with Traptrix and Dark World decks.... other than the speed duel box sets, There really is no way a new player especially young kids could be able to work this stuff out with current product lines. I was able to because I had played the game before and i just had to retrain different aspects of the game. But the speed duel sets are really the only option for new players to even get a foot in the door This is all pending on the 2 player starter set release of course but they really do need to focus on releasing Starter Decks and beginner friendly product options more frequently

[@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 😁

[@brucelau2023]

Nice to return these videos , I absolutely missed this and were glad it’s back

[@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.

[@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.

[@LilBabaG]

Missed opportunity to change into your brother in the Raid promo.

[@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.

[@DaDestroyer1986]

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

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!

[@Jamephan96]

I think keeping it like the rare hunter series is good. The deck will naturally diversify as the episodes continue. As long as you guys are creative with adding different cards that you guys pull from each set. I think adding the duelist pack, now becomes a character duel. Naturally, the two deck will be similar because the series just started. That’s okay, give it time, it’s fun.

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.

[@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.

[@sgz48]

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

[@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
