Team APS Is pot of greed banned? I have a ton of that card. Edit: I'll use it anyways.

Seems like this video was aimed at people who had never been apart of a competitive CCG scene before, might want to clarify that. Do you plan on doing an actual "returning players" guide for those of us with experience in CCGs?

Exactly this. I'm a "returning duelist" but I left the competitive scene in the 5Ds era. It took all of 3 minutes to review the new ban list, and about an hour to catch up on what XYZ and Pendulum cards are and how they work. It really sounds like they're picking on people who were 12 when they played the game last....and during the original 4th series booster era....like, they would be 25 - 30 now. I think they'll be able to read and comprehend the current rulesets (or one would hope). No one gets their understanding of the card game from the anime anymore, except little kids.

I can relate to a lot of these, especially the MST thing. I got back into yugioh right after the XYZ Monsters came out. When they came out with the Pendulums I stopped again cause I was like "Nah, they're doing too much right now" I was thinking about getting back into it after they release more Link Monsters, because Link Monsters kinda butchered the Pendulums

Mackseat Gaming I still don't know wtf pendulum cards do. I'll stick with my elemental heroes for now!

i bet your grandpas best card was supposed to be a blue eyes but then it turned out to be a Exodia set and thats how you got revenge on kaiba who ripped your grandpas blue eyes.

The good days where you didn't need tributes.

Amiibo Dan maybe kuriboh

Invitation2Hades TRLH theres always been tributes roflmao did u ever play?

Zealous oNe not in the first season of the anime

Is that like the eastern name for RNGesus?

Mateo I once said that ,you know what happened I lost cause the card I drew was a tribute monster xD

Ethan Yang Did you think about the exact card you needed hard enough while ancient egyptian music played in the background?

FTK counters heart of the cards. You literally can't draw a card. xD

:3 you heart of the cards into maxx c & ghost ogre in the first 5 draws

Same

Lol I had friends like that back in school. This was back in Ecuador and we didn't really speak much English so sometimes we just kinda went by what the card LOOKED like. "Bear trap? well that clearly must kill a monster."

Tyesupersam94 lol! My old friend Owen was worse, he made up the rules and uses a 63 card main deck! He probably thinks pot of greed lets you draw 6 cards from your deck, then special summon a monster to your side of the field! XD

Tyesupersam94 to be fair, that was the kind if ligic featured in the show.

there used to be no deck lmit so 63 would of been fine untill more recently like 4-5 years ago

That's it... they should make way more Xyz, that have something to do with decks...

I guess I was lucky then because I quit mid-way through Synchros. XYZs were easy to figure out but Pendulums did take me a bit Comically, I'm currently working on a D/D/D deck, but not using the Pendulums the way the game is demanding me to play them.

MrZurata black rose dragon?

Yep.... It fucks me off to no end!!!

Last I played, XYZ summoning was starting. I picked up on the new stuff fairly quickly. I know, I know. Special snowflake comment but it's unfortunate so many people are like this that it became a stereotype.

Ivan Milas Best update to game ... remove 15 years of content ... Am i right ? Lol!

RedVelvet Rave I much prefer it to all this pendulum, xyz and synchro crap

Exactly

@@abs3nt560 Wouldn't be surprised if all that would be added soon though

I only play duel links now

I just got into this game, and the more I learn about the game's history, the more I feel like I got beaned. Should I keep going?

gravethebeyond #FireFistForLife

Lord of the Glass Cube what do you mean by “beaned”?

Ancient Gears then!

..and then realize that what you enjoy will never ever be viable competitively. Seriously, like 90% of players will never even enter regionals. Don't have a stroke upon learning that your deck will not achieve worl champion status. You can still play it most of the time. I really like to! Just don't expect achieving titles. Enjoynment is only a factor when you play with your friends or local card shop guys. When you go competitive, you just play the meta. If you want it or not. Your rogue deck won't suddenly counter the guy that shuts you down in 2 turns or even less.

The game is too strict for casual trading now. The old prints are pretty much junk now and get more worthless with age. Now that everything is archetype based people are even more picky and nothing outside them or the very rare cards for that archetype are worth anything.

***** Exactly, Konami should just remove the entire "Trading Card Game" from the title. It should just be Yu-Gi-Oh!, because hardly anyone trades anymore. Instead, it's more like, "Oh hey Jimmy can I get some Blackwing cards?" "Sure Billy you can get some of my Blackwing cards. They're 5 cents each" Billy Hands Jimmy $2, and Jimmy hands Billy 30 useless cards that 5 years old. "Pleasure Doing business with you Jimmy"

Well it's also known as the official card game...

Avery Games just call it duel monsters than

i still trade but people don't want crap because i'm always trading sucky commons like noisy knat or some dumb crap

+I'm Paul That's a great one we should have mentioned!

+I'm Paul Or not by how many 'stars' it has.

+I'm Paul That's pretty deep m8

Frog the jam hate

+I'm Paul But it's a different story when an archetype excludes certain cards. :P

It's really a highly underrated game! We actually did a Let's Play of it, too!

I just learned that you can't draw on first turn and fields no longer destroy other fields.

Team APS I know it maybe seems odd but can you make a video YGO VS MTG even if u were a YGO player,and tell us why u prefer YGO, and if u tried MTG before or not !? cuz I Love YGO but people keep saying MTG is better,and I need to know the truth.

I wish they add the Magician Girl archetype in Legacy of the Duelist. That's literally the only reason I came back to Yu-Gi-Oh! xD

Adonim Rana MTG is boring TBH. Also the cards are bland as hell and look like depressing old PC WRPG shit. Also, literally zero waifus.

Yes, actually!

Oh cool! :D

Muikkunen 2k17 I was so confused too lmao

They were once one, then they were hit with a de-fussion.

Adorious Gravy 11/10 comment, well done sir.

... hold on... you sold your house for a set?

+Blank xx000 not all new players hate old players yes were in a new Era of the game its called change. While I enjoy team APS opinions some times they can be wrong . Rouge decks can compete with the meta . Older players have to learn to move on

I agree with you to some extend. If you want to learn about the new mechanics of yugioh go to the wikia or look it up

I respect what you have to say . I actually have giskies they fun to play with. People have to respect the older players because they apart of the reason we still have the game . I hope I don't get roasted for saying this idk I'm I'm consider a old or new player I played during the original era but got serious about the game during the 5ds Era ( favorite season Yusei # 1 . When I was junior 2 years ago my friend showed and proved that older cards can make a difference . I was shocked he got out Relinquished ( I was screwed I had no way to beat it )

But new players feel the older decks can't keep up with the newer ones . The game has gone from slow to fast

+Blank xx000 I think most people can agree yuya is better than yuma. Arc V is getting better

Screw tht😂😂😂

MarklenIngyer Gishki? Gem-Knight?

MarklenIngyer xD

fucking monarchs..

yosenju kaiju

It wasn't any different in competitive yugioh back in the day. Even in "old school" yugioh you would have a hard time playing competitively if you weren't playing something meta. Doesn't change the fact that you can still play whatever you want casually with friends.

The difference is that Don Zaloog and Sakuretsu were replaced by Effect Veiler and the 57 new Mirrors. (Or whatever the big shots call meta these days)

shunkaha yep

Playing casually gets annoying though when your friends don't want to play in a consistent format. I hate having to at least try to play loose tournament style for practice and the nostalgia scrubs don't want to even try to follow the most flexible of the new rules. People who fell out from the old days that just want to play school yard style and cheat when it doubt. Those people.

but its supposed to be casual, i feel like people have forgotten that this is a card game a childrens card game

+kanyewest315 True! I noticed 2 weeks ago when i bought my first pack in like 5 years. It's all chemical now.

+kanyewest315 True. Old cards had that juicy card smell to them, newer ones just smell like chemicals

+Dank Sloth Wtf do you think new card smell is?!

+kanyewest315 hory shit the sexy asian boi damn sun

+kanyewest315 YES IM NOT THE ONLY ONE

+RaF KiNs This video was meant to be slightly sarcastic. Yu-Gi-Oh is still a lot of fun!

***** its cool man , i realy enjoyed the video

This is going to be hard to accept for a lot of school-yard elitists I know. The ones that like to double draw and call time outs when they get caught. etc. The ones that like to read the card effects right before they activate something in response, or people that like to MST on MST. Oh boy...

Ahegao A Dark Magician Tin goes for around $200. for a bunch of old cards that aren't supposed to be worth anything, they're sure worth something. Alot of people are seeking the older packs and tins. Stupid people paying high amounts of money for cards that aren't worth anything, right? 😂

jceyx _ There's quite a difference between what you're saying and what the video is saying. People will pay a lot of money for unopened tins or packs or boxes because they're unopened, not because of whatever cards are in the set. Collectors will never, ever open that Dark Magician tin because that would ruin its collector's value. That said, the video wasn't 100% clear on its statement either. People won't pay much for your old cards that aren't in print anymore, UNLESS they have been protected and kept in mint condition or as close to mint condition as possible. The problem is that most people probably kept their cards from that era in a shoebox or a low-end binder, degrading their quality and making them worth little to nothing for collectors.

I still have a blue-eyes lying around who looks pretty good to me.

@@theoryoftheinnocent why can't more people be like you...

fields don't replace fields, you don't draw on the very first turn, fucking pendulums..

Comet Pendulums are really easy to beat even pre link you fucking scrub

Performapal Monkeyboard Then why are you still banned?

Well nowadays its really based on your idea of fun. Yugioh has become extremely competitive and if you wanna stand a solid chance in a competitive match you have to play the top tier $600 deck that's dominating everything else. If that's what you find fun then go for it, but if you want something thats not as intimidating and strategic but calm Yugioh may not be for you.

not really any well built deck can win it's that cancerous thinking that kills alot of competitive games

I only play with friends. tournament style duels are annoying and dull.

DrK just play without pendulums and don't fight people with pendulums and you're good

Pendulums were barely ever meta relevant kappa.At least not as much as other summoning mechanics.

vulture216 that's really nice

The ones without their effects written aren't tournament legal.You can still play the versions that have their effects written on the card.

The rules I made up for the Egyptian God cards when I was a kid: Slifer gets ATK and DEF points equal to the number of cards currently in your hand while you are summoning him x1000 and when he is summoned, he can attack as many times as you want for that turn when he is summoned. This was supposed to be the reason why "the heavens twist and the the thunder roars" when he came out. Ra gains ATK and DEF points equal to the number of dragons or dragon-type monsters you have on your side of the field x1000 because "he was the ruler of dragons" (because he was a dragon that looked super cool, so why not?). Also, he could target any or all spells or traps your opponent had on their side of the field and destroy them as well as completely negating any and all of their effects, because he was imbued with immense magical power which was why "spirits sang of him" and he "ruled over all that is mystic." Obelisk gets ATK and DEF points equal to the number of monsters in your hand that you sacrificed to the graveyard x1000 added to his 4000 ATK and DEF points. You could just "regular" summon (normal summon) him, but you would just get his regular 4000 ATK and DEF. You had to be willing to "make sacrifices" to "honor him" if you wanted him to grant you access to this effect and use his full might after calling upon him. While he was on the field, your life points would be immune to damage from monster attacks or effect monster effects and you could only take damage if your opponent activated a spell or trap card that inflicted life point damage. (Because of how strong and buff he looked on the card, he was the "ultimate defender" and therefore could block any and all attacks from enemy monsters of any type or strength level.) Also, I played where the gods were completely immune to any and all card effects, whether they were effect monster effects, spell effects, or trap effects, not just while they were being summoned, but during the entire time they were out on the field. Also, they were immune to being destroyed by battle, even if another monster gained higher ATK points than them; they just wouldn't be able to destroy that monster either and a battle between them would be stalemate (neither monster would die). (My logic at the time = they're gods, so they should be immortal and therefore un-killable). And I also had this rule where if someone managed to summon all three gods and have them out on their side of the field at the same time, they automatically win, like having the five pieces of Exodia, because they were so mighty that "their combined presence was completely overwhelming" (like exiting a dark movie theater and then stepping out into a bright noonday sun).

Friday Night Wolf dude imagine what it's like for me when I played it in kindergarden/school im early 00s. This is a huge let down for me

I thought the same. came back and really tried to learn during fire fist/spellbook/dragonruler format and it was really cool

I know right? When I played and collected there was no way you could play a themed deck. It had to be some kind of control deck. Jinzo/ Cyberdragon were the biggest monsters, etc

+Grant That was the worst format in terms if certain decks, the ones you listed, being too op. Regardless, if you enjoyed it then thats cool.

ACC7386 Dont worry, the real scrubs r the people still spending real money on paper cards lol.

+Kyon-J Lmaoo 😂😂😂 These dudes need to man the fuck up and stop playing the kid shit !

Yeah because Official World Championship and tournaments like that don't exist right?And you ashaming people for investing money to their hobby?

Dude screw those guys. Im an old school casual player and im proud of it i refuse to play with pendulums or any other new mechanic. Everyone i know switched to magic the gathering because the game of yugioh became just no fun anymore and for the people who still play yugioh, they all use old school cards/combo decks. Just total bullshit.

Good. Most will just complain and bitch about it anyway. If they return and give it a chance, good for them. But most complain about it way in advance. I stuck with it through out it all, i've seen change, i complain when it's necessary. Some of these old heads don't.

Rusty Bits honestly, I want a tournament league, where pendulum and XYZ cards are banned.... is that a thing?

Rusty Bits ok, I mostly just hate pendulum... and yeah, archetypes can go to hell.

I admit that archetypes really made duels predictable now and 70% of the singles cards worthless.

I quit in 2006 because Black Luster Soldier Envoy of the Beginning was broken and literally made me lose games when I was winning. I came back now because Magician Girl archetype was released xD

You can't compare BLS with the broken bullshit we have now haha

my friends are like that too

So he has taste.

+flangwang It's to late for them. Now they will never escape.

+T.F. F (The Flying Fedora) I know it's sad...

No you can escape magic I did more because the cost of it prevented me from carrying on but you can escape.

The way I see it, netdecking is more a way to learn trends and patterns in decks. You can take a few decks and see some similar or identical cards (Mostly techs and staples) that help make your decks more competitive. However, the best way to make a deck is from first-hand plays and such. Find out your own weaknesses and cover them. However, netdecking whichever deck wins doesn't make you learn, to be honest. For example, that new stall deck; I cannot play DN ranked anymore because all I face are boring stall, exodia or Kozmos (I have not actually seen any of the other "meta" decks yet (This is coming from someone who had over 700 rating at one point). Nobody likes the guy who netdecks the winning deck, just like nobody likes the guy who steals someone elses art. TL:DR; Netdecking is fine for new players to learn the basic structure of a deck, but not acceptable if you're just copying whatever deck just won because you think you'll win automatically. It's like those people who netdecked PePe not terribly long ago despite the fact they had no idea how pendulums worked Plus, the guy who won with X deck is considerably better than whoever netdecked them, you don't become pro by netdecking.

Ashberryvillage10 you’re right. That’s the same whether you win, lose or draw, MONSTA CARDO!

YAMETE YUGGGGIIII!

Now you can play up to 3 Sangan!Let's be real here all of the cards that you mentioned besides Sangan are broken.And yeah playing against meta decks can be boring but It's not always meta decks.They are some non-meta or anti-meta decks that are fun.

Artec619 Lots of cards are on the list for sales and other dumb shit But the majority are there to avoid a coin toss format as Who can otk each other first would depend on a dice roll

Dark Duel Stories in the Game Boy Color would limit the options to lower power cards if the cards put in the deck were too powerful. The game would be more balanced if it were like that for the TCG

+Mistah Pokey Honestly, I think we forgot our chill when we recorded this. Sorry guys!

my friends that play magic hate the change of yugioh from the anime to card game

+Azariath01 We all have those friends, and more than a few of us have been those said.

+LeCoolFace OK

sorry not trying to be didn't realize I had it all incaps

actaully it was a game even before that the comic wasn't going to well intill they "found" an idea for a game that was already in the works

Respect!

2000 DEF mang!

+Mad Mothz Or mirror force. And that card is in my main deck but now i just put my main deck in my memories box. Now i just play yugioh games and starting to collect yugoh cards again that's it. And me and my friends just play the old rules of yugioh cause we still have all our old decks.

+Mad Mothz sorry not sorry i used to have 3 mystical elf in the kiddie days XD

I say the most OP card is Man eater bug. That's so OP.

So true

Shockwave Entertainment So what you're saying is that the meta didn't exist? Fuck off. People will always use the best cards and strategies available to them at the time if they want to win. People today still play decks that they find fun that aren't overly strong.

Meta was always a thing. Even in goat format. It was beatdown. Beatdown control, chaos control. There was always a meta. Not sure what you are talking about.

Your opinion is quite validated, in fact I’m on your side on a few points. Although this video was more aimed towards the competitive scene. Like I play Magi the Gathering right. I have my $1800 artifact modern deck for competitive and I have my $20-$25 burn deck for messing around and having fun with the game. Like you can still play yugioh anyways you like man. And unfortunately most games including video games only look at the competitive side of the game and they forget about what made the game fun in the first place, as you mentioned. Basically what I’m saying is every games has two sides to it. The competitive side and the let’s have fun and try and win but we’re gona do it my way side (casual) I kind of hate the word casual idk why. But ya just my thoughts.

Shockwave Entertainment I love you.

should've called the judge

+Jason Bruno he was just a kid and didn't know though! I ended up winning though.

Vman87 oh...then its fine

+Vman87 Doesn't matter, you can't go to an event then bring banned cards.

+Rom Kin it was at a local tournament. It was at super games if you're familiar with that place.

M-Square Parkour same though I'm still trying to get my head around xyz and pendulum

I love playing elemental heroes. Link summoning isn’t to bad tho

Eh, just saying the game is a bunch of archetypes should suffice.

And exactly what does one get from that?

That you can look up "Meta Yu-Gi-Oh Archetype" and easily find deck lists to make meta decks. At that point you just buy and read your fucking cards. It's true that there are ALOT of cards, but figuring out which ones are useful/viable is a simple google search away.

+Dewayne Johnson Thanks!

+Team APS something you should note from your decks that you hate playing against. there's chain burn that can and will top if someone builds it right. because my chain burn still shits on every meta deck out there rn. unless there's 1 that can burn me for over 10k life points without attacking me?

it's all about those Soul charges!!

The Night Stalker isn't that limited to one?

Shotsof762​​ in the tcg but I don't think it is in the ocg and we were talking about the anime and as Kaiba says "screw the rules I have money"

The Night Stalker Ya pretty much lol.

Is that still viable? Lol that seem pretty strong. Hope still that means something lol

NightcoreCentral ehhhh pendulums are actually not that hard to deal with. There are many many cards that people use in most decks that lock down pendulums such as solemn strike and twin twister. Also banishing is a huge huge weakness of pendulums!

pendulums are a great addition to the game actually, they're pretty easy to counter and they make a lot of previously unplayable decks viable.

Puddin yumm they have 1 I think with dreads

Lol

Lmao

well, i'm 2 years late to answer, but, the appel of the modern game is that is pretty fun to make the combos and pull out 5 extra deck monsters in a single turn, or in case you have a control deck, negate this massive extra summoning. every deck falls into the 3 categories of agro, midrange or control, but each archtype is unique and has their own mechanics and it's just fun seeing your deck doing the function it's supposed to. now i need to say old yugioh just felt way better, it was a lot simpler and much more friendly to new players. but hey, yugioh is the power creep game, and is suppose to grow stronger and more complex with every new set. if you prefer simpler games, try magic the gathering, it hasnt changed much since it's original release since it relies on mana and the few new mechanics are easy to get.

additionaly, magic doens't end in 2 turns, so you have quite the time to adjust and responde to the oponent's move.

I bought one pack and got it in that one pack

Nick Simpson Congrats

TheClimaxHD Exactly

+jonathan verna But in the end how much did you pay for all the boxes?

Sergio Sanchez It's a monster with a black frame and stored in the extra deck And depending on its "rank" (the little stars it has) It needs two monsters with the same level an example would be the XYZ monster ,Number 39: Utopia It's a rank 4 so it needs 2 level 4 monsters Simple right?

*XYZ-Dragon Cannon* "X-Head Cannon" + "Y-Dragon Head" + "Z-Metal Tank" Must first be Special Summoned (from your Extra Deck) by banishing the above cards you control. (You do not use "Polymerization".) Cannot be Special Summoned from the GY. You can discard 1 card, then target 1 card your opponent controls; destroy that target.

A little late, but Blue-Eyes and Dark Magician are good to get back into, they aren't too complicated, and don't rely too much on the Extra Deck. I would recommend your red-eyes after making one of those.

BeAtzz_ thats exactly what they are

Actually, chances are your illegal deck still wouldn't be up to par if it doesn't have the new meta nonsense added in too.

Brorelia ye your old deck would get destroyed

You would get your Chaos empeorer dragon with an oldschool deck at best at your 3rd turn. You would be lucky if you had survived till then with your old monster and spll/traps

lol ya ok

"Yugioh has gotten too easy tbh." In the older days game was a lot simpler and easier.(I still like the current speed of the game.)

+SebTsch Haha what do you mean?

***** I feel like I am being stared at O_O

You guys are very wrong I over killed by 9300 life points a fluff all deck with my combo deck

you must be in a wierd place in your life, but I saw that too I laughed out loud thou,them eyes was for them yugioh ladies how few they are....lol

Andrew Decker he's actually good for side board

Paul Hensley now adays yea I don't doubt it, but when I played he was a staple and Everyone ran Jinzo, this was before archetypes and all these new mechanics back when u just played a deck of good cards

well they ARE right. The vast majority of "returning players" are people who played when they were 10 with their friends.

Cross Dement Playing with friends doesn't really matter though lol they're assuming the old players didn't know how to read basic rules. the first 2 mins of the video was literally talking shit about us. I myself and many other people I knew back then actually knew the rules and topped several tournaments. I myself even went to tournaments on behalf of TrollnToad here in Kentucky. So you'd be surprised. but the same can be said for players these days. There are players out there that are new players and don't know half the shit they're doing when it comes to the game. Trying to be helpful to returning players is one thing, talking shit and acting like they're all a bunch of idiots is another.

DjShadows Gaming well we are sorry the guys didn't focus on YOUR personal situation and instead focused on what the majority is like. Honestly I'm with them on this.

Cross Dement Lol I focused on the simple fact that the opening two mins was nothing but shit talking so... don't be sorry my opinion stands as simply that my opinion and even if you agree with them or not you know I'm right in saying that all they did was shit talk for two mins straight but, but its whatever lol

It's not that they're arrogant, it's just so common hearing these things that it gets old. People ask their friends that play to get back in the game, expect to win with 10 year old cards, then get really mad and stubborn when they see the game has progressed. I understand if someone just wants nostalgia, but these are people assuming theyll be competitive. it just gets old, and i just got into the game last year after playing when the game first came out.

Who the heck said that this video is supposed to give tips ?

Nick Fortin read the title next time
