When they were asking about draw effects in mtg i wanted to jump into my screen and go on a rant about how good ancestral recall is haha. Heck, even just in standard, for draw 2 effects there's reckoner's bargain, reckless impulse, memory deluge just to name a few in different colors. Even green right now has storm the festival which is better than drawing. Mazemind tome, bankbuster, welcoming vampire, spirited companion i better stop there 😆

[@bakerdarcy6001]

@@napalmbukakke it is interesting tho because while drawing in mtg is great it’s on a whole other level in ygo Like in magic if you’re drawing you’re spending mana you could spend to cast. In yugioh you get to immediately use those new cards. And as a result we’ve got like 4 total draw cards legal in the tcg that inherently go positive Everything else usually is a rummage type effect.

[@Volair]

@@napalmbukakke From what I was told/remember/gathered (and my info is spotty at best so take it with a table of salt) generic draw/tutoring (Pot of Greed, Graceful Charity) is rare if not completely banned from tournament play (since literally everyone would run them). Instead, Yugioh has stupidly busted effects (compared to MTG) that are generally constricted to an archetype (notice how everyone seemed to be playing what MTG players would consider "tribal" decks). So essentially most decks will be based around Archetypes because of that. The idea is interesting, and works for the YGO game and playerbase. But getting started into YGO is difficult because of that, imo. In MTG you can run some pretty straight forward decks that can even be strong in the right setting. But in YGO I think that died a long time ago.

[@UltimacraftedArmy]

Glad to see Prof getting his PHD in Yugioh. He will be the greatest player in existence since he tries to read cards.

And a TCG that could be called one of the most unfriendly to beginners. It's so much to learn and it can get extremely complicated quick. I play both YuGiOh and Magic The Gathering (played both in tournaments) and MTG is just so much more "clear" and inviting, Aside from the fact that most cards don't explain what their effects do, like goading or hexproof or whatever.

As a Magic player, I have no idea what these guys are doing, but I am still watching and loving each collaboration your two channels are doing! Love switching up things for a change and seeing your different personalities come together. BTW, I would love to see Team APS (try to) play Magic!

[@genisis6418]

The main differences between Yugioh and Mtg are: There is no mana, instead yugioh does focus more on card advantage. The “extra deck” acts kinda like a “command zone” with up to 15 cards in it, but due to a lack of mana, we mainly sacrifice creatures (or monsters in Yugioh-terms) to cast from there(or to summon) or cheat them into play through other means. We get 1 summon of a monster for free per turn (with a certain amount of sacrifices, depending on the stars/level of the monster). Yugioh has a lot more “cheating into play” (special summons). Cards with a red border (Trap cards) have to be set a turn, before they can be used at instant-speed. Other cards can be used instantly, as long as there isnt a restriction preventing you (once per turn etc.). We have a limited amount of space on the field. We rarely use keywords (with the exception of par example piercing->trample or Banish->exile) -> effects are usually relatively long. And finally, combat work differently (we attack monsters and depending on its position, damage will be dealt. If no monsters are on their field, we can attack player) (im just a yugioh judge, who recently dipped his toes into edh/commander)

[@tipodeincognito5660]

Honestly, its hard to know what you or your opponent are doing on yugioh sometimes. No mana means VERY long effects with requirements , they arent kidding at the video. I only play it digital now because of that.

[@repeatingimp7229]

I play yugioh and MTG and i still dont know whats going on to

[@Ms666slayer]

@Pink Crab Hands It's not hard, the effects seem complicated at first but like a third of the text is only conditions and stuff, and the effect is just a little bit of text, and also pretty much the language of the text is the same on every card, so is not that hard as it seems at the begginig, but the issue with yugioh os the rulings, and stuff like missing the timing, that's the hardest thing to learn.

[@sammydray5919]

@Pink Crab Hands Speaking of hard to track, the current format of yugioh is one where the clear best deck mills and activates effects which leads into further effect activations that it goes absolutely insane. Not to mention that its a tier zero format (happens extremely rarely when one deck is leagues above every other deck and has ludicrous representation) so most high level matches end up being mirror matches so BOTH players are milling cards and activating their effects AND responding to their opponent's effects AND have to make decisions based on that info while the clock is ticking. It got to the point where there so many effects being activated and resolved that the field legit looked like deck profiles lol. So yeah hard to track is pretty well put 🤣

[@jonathannorris9475]

As a Yu-Gi-Oh! player (mostly casual) who's been slowly getting into MTG kinda recently, I will say that while YGO is a fun game, we have a serious onboarding issue. There's so much you have to explain to even scratch the surface. Although, granted, I've certainly run into difficulties with learning magic. Mostly with how vastly different the combat is. Having said all that, I hope you have fun getting into Yu-Gi-Oh! . The meta isn't in the greatest shape right now, but I hope you're having fun with some fun decks. Although, having said that, a new ban list just dropped, so I guess I'll go familiarise myself with that.

[@joshuahadams]

We had “Ten Thousand Dragon” printed recently, a commemorative card to celebrate the game hitting 10,000 unique cards. You bring it out by sacrificing monsters whose total Attack equals 10,000 or more and it’s own Attack is 10,000, basically consolidating all of your power into one big dragon. It’s not particularly good, and outside of showing off, you wouldn’t really want to put it in a deck. It’s hovering around $1,500.00 US on TCGPlayer, but it was printed in the annual reprint set, if you’d wanna try your luck.

[@cronnie994]

I really appreciate the slow pace of the plays while still taking the full complicated lines.

Insanely excited for an EDH episode with these guys, will be a blast.

[@noisepoIIution]

Now I can't wait to see these 4 play commander! Gonna be so fun!

[@Sanguivore]

I gotta say, as a long-time fan of both Tolarian Community College *and* Team APS, I’m so happy y’all are collabing! I never thought I’d see it, but I’m so glad it exists.

[@catcat6008]

I want to say that this is such a good way to make tutorials for yugioh decks as it's really helpful. Very understandable and clear in what the cards do, explaining every cards that's played. Their should be more of this explaining other decks for whatever card game.

[@Cado1493]

Magic guy has such a cool demeanor he just be chillin😂

[@Jose_P936]

This was unbelievably fun to watch! So happy to see the four of you together!

[@posajnejkwahb]

I gotta be honest, as a lifelong Magic player who have dabbled in some Yugioh PC games and watched a lot of yugitubers this crossover is super wholesome ^^ Really nice to see, and to correct Prof, Pot of Desires exiles those cards instead of milling them, if it milled it would be broken in Yugioh too :P

[@s.e.3172]

The whole production quality of the video is awesome. I didn't watch any yugioh "stuff" for more than 10 years. But the way team APS play is just fun too watch. The professor gives the whole group an awesome vibe.

[@andarerYT]

Salvage reads "those targets", so with crow he'd get none back.

[@Wizardofexisting]

These games are so interactive, it’s like a good modern meta game or legacy

[@orangemania5095]

editing on point in this. Here because of TeamAPS because ive been playing yugioh since childhood but now im excited to go thru all these MTG vids because your collabs are so fun and wholesome.

[@mekklord]

as someone who plays both YGO and MTG this is a dream come true

[@madskil72]

Love all this content with Team APS. Definitely wanna see them play commander!!

[@TheMartinSan]

I love seeing dudes just playing stuff without paying a single mana for it :D

[@Al-Vin97]

Oh you havent seen runick yet. Oh boy that archetype is so annoying xD

[@MelonCawly]

This partnership is the best tbh like I love both your channels and content. I don’t know this genuinely makes me happy is all

[@lukeschneider4252]

I've loved all of these cross over videos with team APS it's an enjoyable experience to watch magic and yugioh players interact like this, really looking forward to the commander game. I hope this style of video continues. thank you as always Professor

[@42VictorPessoa]

The problem with yugioh is to know every condition of every card, since there is no cost, you have to track so many things. But I love the different archetypes and the way ban and restriction works, instead of rotation.

[@thezestylime0989]

ya, a lot of yugioh is game knowledge, knowing what certain decks do. in magic if they're playing green you can surmise there might be some large creatures, blue will use a lot of sorcery etc... yugioh can be like that sometimes, machine decks usually want to make giant attackers, fire decks will want to inflict burn damage in some way. but it's a lot looser.

[@Therealmccoy214]

Yugioh does have costs, it was also demonstrated in the video.

[@thezestylime0989]

@@Therealmccoy214 costs as in you dont have to use a designated resource to do any actions. if you can perform an action you just do it, you dont need to tap 3 swamps and an island

[@Therealmccoy214]

@@thezestylime0989 well there are costs but not mana costs like in mtg, twin twisters for example requires you to discard a card first. There are also requirements that have to be met for cards to resolve or even be activated. so it is not a free game play even though there are more things you can do in a turn unlike mtg. That's what makes it unique and separate from mtg. I play both card games and enjoy the differences. Sometimes in mtg having limited mana can make the game slow which is not bad or anything but if your wanting to play quicker well then yugioh does just that. There's no reason both games should be exactly the same otherwise why bother having 2 different card games.

[@minecraftfanaaron]

I would really enjoy seeing team aps learn magic :P all of you playing a commander game some day would be really fun to watch

[@johnmorton6229]

Honestly props to Prof's editor and production, went full Yu-Gi-Oh show/games and did ALL the sound and visual effects. Brava! Loved seeing this and hope that we see more of Team APS around, especially Larry since his "Larry In The Hole" series is always my favorite from them.

[@danmccarthy7038]

I haven't played yugioh in years, but when I found Aps, I subscribed right because of their skits, it's so cool to see two of my favorite channels working together

[@RoughToughTonkasGotTheStuff]

I love these guys and their content, and I probably would have never found them if you didn't collab with them a couple years ago, so thank you :).

[@user-bm9tj2nl5z]

The chemistry of all you guys is great! I love all your mash-up videos so far. Keep it up!

[@javiermarrerojr1893]

I don’t really play either of these tcgs, but i love watching these two channels. The fact that these two great channels collaborated on these videos is awesome!

[@Ohmargod]

Build a Thunder Dragon Deck for the Professor! It's fun, fast-ish and not too stupid.

[@krugz_]

Great chemistry between The Professor and Team APS! I can't wait for the EDH session.

[@dalazo]

Great video, quality is top notch! APS guys will always make me happy so when it's done in such a well done video that's not even on their channel it's even more of a joy.

[@Level_1_Frog]

Team APS learning how to play MTG would actually be great content. If they're down you should totally do it!

[@__-be1gk]

If these games seemed like blowouts, remember that Yugioh is very much designed to be played in best of 3s, even moreso than Magic

[@koffeinx6738]

Yugioh feels like playing muldrotha as a tribal deck with every tutor possible and everything has haste but with the speed of a azorius stax control deck...
