We Couldn't Even Play These Yu-Gi-Oh Cards

[@TeamAPS]

*Even though Walmart's Yu-Gi-Oh Power Cubes are trash and a scam, this was still a very fun duel challenge! Larry and Alec had a good time, at least! Soooo... Has anyone ever bought one of these and actually gotten one of the chase cards?* 👀

[@gothicfemboy428]

Not a scam of u had fun using them. But if u expect to get a money card then yes it's a scam lol

Fun fact elementsabers can be used for chaos decks, since you can change them to light or dark, so he can in fact summon bls.

[@Merik2013]

How did Alec... no, scratch that... How did NO-ONE at the table realize that you could convert that Elementsaber to light attribute in the graveyard and banish it to summon BLS? You had a whole conversation about what it does!

[@thekey0123]

To be fair, it was never in the grave with a Dark monster.

[@codyhanson1344]

@@thekey0123 it could have been if they had him start with it in his opening hand in the last game instead of artificially adding sacred crane

[@BlazingAce20]

I can't believe Alec called the elementsaber monster useless. It's effect while in the GY is useful for his deck. All he need is that dark monster and the elementsaber monster and he can summon BLS. All he have to do is change the elementsaber to be a light monster and boom he has BLS on the field lol. He should know that every card has its value.

[@15codys]

I love that from a perspective standpoint, you think you are getting a whole cube of cards with the pictures being interesting(if you don’t read the cube). Then you open the cube revealing it’s basically a bag of chips with it being mostly air lol

[@Terminatornero]

At least with chips there is a reason for the air.

[@TYSniper]

Chips have more use, and are cheaper lol.

[@michel0dy]

I'd love to see a video where two APS members build decks from random bulk and two other members have to duel with them without previous knowledge of what cards are in it.

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

I'd like to add an extra wrinkle where each APS deckbuilder is actually trying to make the best deck they possibly can, either because the winner gets a reward, or because the loser gets a punishment. But the player themselves is off the hook, so it's ENTIRELY up to the builder.

[@matthewowen1271]

This idea is great

[@HowltheWizard]

This!

[@LZJunior]

some cards are in Portuguese, attack of two edges, "dois" not "dios", "dois" means two, which in general means "attack of two edges" but the original name is Two-Pronged Attack

[@crasher3203]

Haven't finished the vid yet, but Alec could use the Elementsaber to become light, and then summon BLS or Chaos Sorcerer

[@hyperbeast0150]

Doesn't look like the thought crossed their minds since they added a light monster for Alec. Not that it matter given how bad the decks were lol

[@Crit-Chance]

"Oh, my Spanish is not what it used to be..." Brother you can say that again, considering those cards were in Portuguese! 😂😂

Same except for my family dollar selling 19 English cards, 1 Spanish, and 1rare and usually has a somewhat strategy

[@henrydeluxe4051]

Larry and Alec are so damn funny when they play each other.

[@pailofawesome]

Have you all considered making your own "cubes"? Pick/curate monsters/Spells/Traps/Etc... Then split them into piles. Dole out a set amount from each pile for people to build from. We do similar things in MTG for drafting where players essentially build their own "set" and then draft it with friends after randomly creating "packs" of cards to use.

[@matheusousaa]

By the way guys, it's not spanish, is portuguese! "Dois" (not Dios) means "2" hahaha you guys almost got it! Love your videos! Cheers from Brazil!

[@adonnis1]

Larry was in a goofy mood and it made the duel hilarious

[@RaidZeroh]

So the Two-Pronged Attack was in Portuguese. It actually says "Dois" not "Dios", which means "two" as you'd expect :P

[@SonnyAmbush]

those oversized plastic sleeves are usually used for stuff like baseball cards. some ppl use them for shipping cards sold on online market platforms like cardmarket in the EU. Some of my MTG orders came in these.

[@saucefonda]

Larry asking, "Do you want me to rub your back?" had me dying! LOLOL

[@brucelau2023]

Alec: when he draws a card he can't even use in his deck "what is this sorcery?"

[@colepetersonmusic]

This was a super fun video! I loved the buttoned-down aspect of the last battle especially. The camaraderie between Alec and Larry was hysterical.

[@sermonking]

so at the 8:00 mark alec says that elementsaber monster is useless. if he wanted to summon bls or chaos sorc, he can change the elementsaber monster to light, get a dark in the gy..then voila! so its not that useless

[@zechlape5826]

My boy Paul bringing us the content all Yu-Gi-Oh players want to see

[@jameschristensen4028]

I remember a cube that had a deck in it, but it was from Target. Right know they have a Walmart version for about $30 online. But Paul read the box it will tell you if it has a deck or not.

[@joaobarbosa9911]

At 8:25 It was dois and not Dios. Looks like a portuguese pack so correct translation was Double Edge attack.

[@TheMorgada]

It's so cute to see them not understanding any Portuguese! I genuinely lost my breath from laughing so hard when they read "dois gumes", which means double edged and understood "god". Dois = Two / double in that case. Gumes = Edged, like a sword.

[@ioiouau]

Realmente

[@nicholasfarrell5981]

5:35 - personally, I use them for my Commander decks. I tend to get the nicest version of my commander that I can, so I put the sleeved copy in a hard sleeve as an added bit of protection (and an easy divider in my long box of Commander decks).

[@erickmendino5278]

Larry edited in red for 3 seconds was the highlight of this video 🤣

[@professorphantoms717]

[@Smokefools6691]

[@SinSacrifice]

Even with the blur I know that card's Black Luster Soldier Envoy of the Beginning.

[@johnblack6008]

I loved watching Larry opening this mystery box, reaction was so funny 😂

[@MrObscureinsanity]

I like how you guys allow "redos". Other duelists I watch would totally be jerks and not let unintentional mistakes be fixed. Robbin Zombie technically shouldn't have had its effect resolve, but you allowed it to anyway. Doing these gestures definitely makes your duels feel like they have more heart.

[@EC-rk2zl]

Technically you guys dont even need to buy one of these cubes for a video. Use the fan dark magician deck that was sent over a short while back and for its opponent grab like 100 semi-random old school cards in your card boxes. Shuffle it and the top 40-50 cards is your deck hahaha

[@RoyaltyRogue]

13:58 Was the funniest sequence. The shock and confusion got me rolling.

[@regorllerref]

This would be kind of cool if you bought one of these cubes, and then went to a LCS and see if you could build a deck with their bulk using the mystery cube as the core.

[@dragonslayerdragonslayer]

Mystery boxes through the bulk in the box and charge the customers 20 25 dollars for them

[@RunicSigils]

None of these (with only singles) are more than 15. Anything as expensive as you're saying has a deck and/or packs. I know where these specific cubes they use come from and if you were to buy the cubes alone direct from the manufacturer, you'd be paying 15 each by the way (with the lowest shipping tier being 50 dollars). That's obviously not what they're paying because you know they're making money on them from getting a deal for buying in bulk for retail use but for these the cube alone is worth it on an individual level if you're wanting a storage solution in this size because you're getting bonus cards and not having to pay that ridiculous shipping.

[@VictorTAnderson]

5:37 & 6:14 are the best parts of the video! 😄

[@Sigma13Angel]

I felt Alec’s rage through the screen and the empathy I feel is unmatched.

[@REIDAE]

Larry was thinking about the mystery boxes rather than the power cubes. Those do actually sometimes have valuable booster packs and/or structure decks in them.

[@RunicSigils]

The power cubes normally have packs as well. No idea why these didn't.

If I'm not mistaken, Alec couldn't use the Chaos Sorcerer's effect because he was special summoned on the field while knightmare gryphon was on the field, and griffin says that you can't activate the effect of special summoned monsters unless they are linked.

[@davidadamovic1950]

He could've used the element monster to change it to light 😅 and then he could summon bls or chaos

I just imagine someone being late for their flight and forgetting their bag with their deck and having to go to Walmart to grab one of these before the tournament tomorrow and pray they can throw something together that doesn’t make them look stupid in front of everyone…now that I think about it, I can bet that happened.
