I love that the one time Rhyme was like honorable in the sense of just wanting to see his next card reax was like "WHY" lol love their friendship

SeeReax deserves achievement unlock for using Reverse Trap (all time favorite GOAT) and Elemental Hero Flame Wingman to actually OTK somebody! That's so rare outside of DL. Like even in Meme Tourneys can anyone say they've done this in Master Duel? Rhyme buy that man a Ghost Rare of the card or a statue. Something! That was amazing! Jaden Yuki right there.

When I was a kid and actually played Yugioh, not just collecting the cards, my deck focused on the Creator. I played Mausoleum of the Emperor and the Effigy archetype to summon him and my other boss monsters that I threw in there. The thing that made me a menace though was when Honest came out because I would just use Honest in hand and then use the Creator to get Honest back to the field and then use Honest to bounce itself back to hand. That was my favorite loop as a kid because people would be summoning Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Buster Bladers and I just had this God and his angel protecting him.

getting Deion/Dino lore through these yu gi oh games is so cool man, it feels personal like a Facetime😂

Still can't believe how bad my deck frustration was back then.

God I pray they do the tag team duels again like in the old games.

I won't lie. The realist thing was them talking about getting out of that middle school phase of playing and subsequently becoming a closeted Yu-Gi-Oh player throughout high school. Anyway, I'll always share the fact I ran 1 of each Machine King in a non Machine deck.

I remember as a kid pulling so many Vanilla Fusion Cards, but never owning a Polymerization and I had a Kaiba deck with Blue Eyes, La Jinn and XYZ Dragon Canon. I didnt undetstand the rules so I would summon Blue Eyes and say "I win" cause the flavor text says he's invincible

I love the banter between you two. I think my cherished memory was when I wanted to get into Yugioh, my best friend and I went to a card store halfway across the city to find out they were not open yet, so we wandered around for a bit and walked into a dollar store and they were selling "Yugioh" cards. I was so hyped I bought the entire box of blister packs. We go out of the store and sit down on a bench open one of the blister packs it was cards with trivia about the anime. I was very sad.

Let’s gooooo do series vs series now

Lol you can tell Deion love Yu-Gi-Oh. Rhyme was like, “Welp that’s the end of the video.” And he goes, “Wym, let’s do one more!” 😂 I love these videos.

The chemistry between Rhyme and Reax is gold, love watching y’all duel. Always comes with great banter and laughs.

Im ready for you guys to play with Synchros and Xyz monsters again.

Awesome duel guys. Hope to see more duels between you two. And you guys really made me think about the childhood decks I had that just made no sense and cheated me through victory lol.

Recreating a childhood deck is the most exciting and nostalgic thing on this channel. I’m so rooting for it to become a thing on here

I love y’all duels, soo much banter and great commentary.

I would’ve kept playing Yugioh if I never got my deck and deck box stolen from my after school program. They said it was “witchcraft” which pissed me off something serious, also my god cousin had Pokémon and Yugioh cards and seeing the Yugioh Cards made me like them more.

I remember making a normal pendulum deck back in Duel Generation, with Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons as my boss monster. I scavenged whatever card I pulled to made it work and completed the whole game. Those were the days.

My first Yugioh memory is when my parents gifted my Yugi's starter deck, while my best friend got Kaiba's. I don't even remember how old i was, but what i do remember is that the cards were in english and as two little kids from Spain, we had no idea how to play, so we basically copied the effects of the cards in the show and the ones we didn't know we just made them up. It was a lot of fun. I remember also when we got our first packs, i pulled a Monster Egg. Since it was an egg, i decided that it had an effect that in i dont remember how many turns, the egg wwould hatch into a monster of my chosing. It was so stupid it's forever ingrained in my memory

The fact that these are half an hour makes my soul happy :D

I made a deck that was focused on messing with my opponents. I used destiny hero defender to force them to draw as many card as possible, then used other cards to make them discard them. I had so many people just irritated, and I also had stalling cards and negates

My earliest memories of Yu-Gi-Oh was when I first watched it on 4kids and that's how I got introduced by it. I always wanted the cards as a kid irl but for whatever reason the stores around where I lived and even the stores where I traveled and EVEN THE STORES TODAY AROUND ME still don't sell Yu-Gi-Oh cards just Pokemon cards. So I was never able to get the cards. (Now I'm able to since I know what stores have them lol) But something I gotta be grateful to is my cousin. He had his own deck and when I found out he had cards he split the deck with me and we'd just play like that 😂 but after he found out I liked the anime and the game he went out of his way to get me my own deck and it had the yubel cards. His deck was more optimized but I didn't even care that I lost I just liked playing yubel and telling him gotta destroy your monster bro part for the rules man 🥶

Nice start to the vid getting some background on you guys. Was wholesome.

Love the duels and can't wait to see when you guys start hitting the pendulum era. Also would love to see you guys try and crack odd eyes and D/D/D

As a kid I’d pick up cards from the swap meet and I ran too many ritual monsters cause that was mostly what I got I remember clearly having the hamburger, hermit crab, and black luster Soldier and that BLS was the coolest card to me

This is what I was waiting for bro, some OG Hero duels lol

I remember sitting in our apartment around 2000-2003 looking at man eater bug and thinking “he’s too good!”. I also drew him and it came out terrible woo 😮. Only card I remember from my potluck deck lol.

I really hope to see more of these duels! The deck I used as a kid was a mix of 1900 beaters and the 2000+ Atk monsters that changed to def when they attacked ( Giant Orc, Goblin attack force etc ). Maybe a video where you make a deck the kid you would make if they had unlimited money to get cards?

I remember building an all defensive stall deck, I had a couple Giant Soldier of Stone, Mystical Elf, and Wall of Illusion, threw in Yellow Luster Shield and then Summoned Skull and Dark Magician as like my "big monsters" lmao

The dark magician/magician girl decks were always fun to use, especially the one in gx tag force with thousand eyes restrict.

So a couple weeks ago I was cleaning out my attic and found my old tins of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards and inside one of them was my old deck from like 2005. I think I was attempting to make a grave keeper deck. So in honor of my childhood self grave keeper is now one of my main decks in Master Duel and it's so much fun to use thanks to all the new support it got over the years.

The Seereax blue balls after game 2 was hilarious.

Since i love this video and i love to talk about my old days, here is the most important early story of YGO i like to share. It was 2003 and i went to a big school which was from elementary school up to 9th grade iirc. I was close to my finals and was playing Magic the Gatherin for some years on a competetive basis. I often heard about Yugioh, watched the kids playing and obviously was reading the monthly manga chapters. I knew how to play but never actually owned any cards to this point. Then there was "that" child. You know, the little 10 years old boy who gets what ever he wants no matter the cost? Yep, that was him. I assume it was his birthday or something, because he was on a bench with five other boys and proudly talks about what he got while showing off SIX starter decks. 3x Kaiba, 1x Yugi, 1x Pegasus, 1x Joey was piled up on his lap and he was opening the boxes one after the other. But he wasn't realy happy about the cards. Instead he just stripped all foil cards from the boxes and put them into his launch... well deckbox? The other cards he just threw into the bin right next to the bench becuase "it's just crap he already got". Then they left the place to return to class and i just snatched myself the almost full but opened boxes from the trash. Just for the lols and giggles i created a very simple 60 cards deck from it (i wasn't aware of the 40-60 cards limit but just went with MTGs 60 cards) and included all the stuff i would run in MTG. So i played like 3x Change of Heart, 3x Monster Reborn, 3x Trap Hole... you get the idea. One day later i saw this kids sitting on a tennis Table and playing YGO so i challenged them for a play and (you guessed it) obliterated them from existence. My deck was obviously illegal but so was his and after the game was over i was about to tell them to "not throw out their cards" and stuff. But before i was able to get a real Yugi v Kaiba moment, the Kids left and the break was over. Anyway, i love to remember this day especially because it was so close to become a real yugioh episode in my life where i "teach kids a lesson about the heart of the cards" over cards they just throw away. And i highly assume you enjoy to read about this moment as well. Glad to share it with you guys! 😎

I love this old school yugioh games! You guys remembered me when I had my old deck with a lot combos but was hard to complete a combo cuz you needed to draw all the cards BUT when those moments happened was so epic. I remember an easy combo i used a lot and was 2 traps 1 was the trap than discard 1 card to destroy one enemy card ( i used to destroy enemy ace monster ) and discardet my blue eyes 2sec card was call of the haunted than special summon my discardet blue eyes. This is sound today like something very lame but on those days combos like this make you a very good duelist hehehehehe i really love those times :D

I remember getting into Yu-Gi-Oh! in middle school, moving on to high school and not giving AF what the other kids thought. I would show up early for school just to play people in the cafeteria. Sometimes, I would skip school for the whole day but still show up early to play Yu-Gi-Oh! 🤣🤣

Mom: We have kashtira at home Kashtira at home: Ground Collapse

Flame Wingman animation is so clean easily one of my favorite Monsters of all time since I was a kid 🔥

Imagine a one of duel with an archetype, pure chaos with these two.

Do synchro summon duels. We like to watch you struggle 😂

I still have my childhood deck , it's Yami Yugis Deck from battle city before he fought Strings I think that's his name , The mime Dueliest . You guys should do character duels next I live these old school decks always so fun to watch especially with you two

15:15 - I respect the Geko Moria laugh, Rhyme.

My most fond memory of Yu-Gi-Oh! comes from my high school days. One day, during my bunch of my friends and I held a tournament after classes for $20, and I barely came out on top with an old but reliable deck using Dark Magician Girl and The Seal of Orichalcos. Coincidentally, I managed to convince my parents to buy me a “Legendary Collection 3: Yugi’s World” box from Toys R Us (while that place was still around) almost two weeks before this tourney, which had the Seal of Orichalcos in it.

I didn't really play a real arch type deck, but I did run what I called a "Goblin King" deck back in the day as a kid as it was hard to afford a lot of actually good cards, so I had to make do with what I had and Goblin King was my go to Boss monster. Because it couldn't be attacked while there were fiend type monsters on my field he couldn't be directly destroyed, and every fiend type monster gave him 1000 Atk making him a pretty beefy beat stick so long as he wasn't killed, so I built my deck around stopping cards from attacking me early on with swords of revealing light, 4 star lady bug, and Gravity bind. I earned my first Egyptian God Card by beating some one using my Goblin King deck while they were using Obelisk, stopping them from being able to beat over my boss monster long enough to gain more Atk then Obelisk had to beat over it and win the duel and the card. I never really had any love for the card before or during my time playing it when I was young as it wasn't a cool looking monster and didn't appear in the anime as far as I'm aware, but over the years I'm glad I had it instead of some generic Dark Magician or Dragon deck like most other people.

OMG just that first hand took me back. Lol its funny. Back then we used to clown the series for having so many non synergy cards in their decks but looking back compared to NOW our old decks were just as random as the series. We would jump from drawing something like Wall of Illusion to drawing Penguin Soldier lol.

Keep up the good work both of you

The only consistent "strategy" I had as a kid was using crush card 😂

I felt what Seereax was saying, I never got to experience "Playground" Yu-Gi-Oh at school because it wasn't "cool" to like Yu-Gi-Oh. Only played with family at home.

Nice reverse trap play Seereax, early fusions were problematic in the past, but I summoned Alkana Knight Joker so I know how hard it can be.

Old yugioh memory. My friend in 3rd grade gave me a arcana dark magician and I still have it and I've always loved it thx A.J

That struggle to read the trap was just gold

I loved going to the movie and got the special card and seeing everyone else who brought their binder or decks, I loved getting the decks or new packs and watching it. Truly my youth

Never in my life have i ever seen anyone use reverse trap. Well play my man seereax

I grew up watching OG, 5ds, and Zexal. I remember loving my really bad Utopia deck. Lost almost all my old cards. 😢

My first deck was that old water stater deck. I actually taught my friend how to play by giving him that deck and I used some mashed together equip spell warrior deck.

Love the playground duels. I started playing with my cousin who had Japanese cards and we learned how to play while watching the anime. Then not so long after that my cousin got the Yugi Starter deck and my grandma bought me the buster blader tin and I made a deck out of that tin from the packs inside the tin. Now I am 33 years old and still love playing this game. My cousin and I have taught most of our family how to play Yu-Gi-Oh.

Still waiting for seereax god blue eyes deck video where it at all talk but no show lol

I remember having BLS - Envoy of the Beginning as a kid and I LOVED that card. I never really knew how OP that card was until years later. Old school yu-gi-oh is the GOAT of card game

I can't get enough of old school yugioh!

the young me only had the yugioh ds game and i honestly don't remember what i played, the oldest decks i can remember using was when duel link when it came out back in my first year of high school and ran a basic dinosaur deck from the card i manage to get for the game but when yami bakura came to the game i recreated his deck for the anime and what he use the his event at the time. (bakura was my number one favorite character in all of the yugioh series.)

Started an unofficial Yu-Gi-Oh club at highschool freshman year, when my best friend and I brought our spare cards from years ago and then others started doing the same. Got the Spellcasters Judgement structure because I loved Takahashi's magicians art and Magical Dimension was my favorite turnabout card. ^~^ Was cool that our group lasted until we graduated, and some others took over the year after. Always wonder if the 'tradition' carried on further lol.

My earliest Yu-Gi-Oh memory is my cousin playing against his friend for like an hour straight and me not understanding anything that was going on

Man said " I HAD reading issues!" Still does 20 years later.

I love @seareax we totaly want another one and he knows it.

Jaden Yuki vs. Yugi Muto but in a little different 😂 nice love this duel

When I was a kid, I just threw together all sorts of powerful looking cards. Dark Magician, Blue Eyes White Dragon, you name it. Obviously, I had some level 4 or lowers, but what was the centerpiece of the deck back then was legend of heart. Younger me loved bringing out the 3 legendary knights, and I thought they were absolutely indestructible back then. I also had Dark Paladin in my extra deck, for some reason.

Seereax really just enjoying his time with a friend

This is the best and funniest duel of them all

an old strat i had was dreamsprite and Unhappy girl, sure id still take damage but id still have monsters on the field. unfortunately for me i had no friends to play yugioh when was actually trying to play, but around 2012 in mid highschool i did get a couple of friends to play on whats now dueling book(back then it was dueling network) id run cards like Amazoness Queen, Five headed dragon, it was fun. i also had tyrant dragon(my then ace monster, unfortunately lost in a house fire) and plenty xyz monsters, and a couple synchros.

As a kid I had a triple trap combo and a ton of beefy defensive monsters and attack blocks. The goal was to set up Bad Reaction to Simochi, Eye of Truth and then Ominous Fortune Telling to churn out 1700 life points of burn damage each turn. I would also throw out Dark Snake Syndrome to speed things up even more. Not a lot of people had great removal so it worked well on the play ground!

My favorite Reverse Trap moment was against my brother: - I attack - He activates Reinforcements - I activate my own Reinforcements - He activates Reverse Trap - I activate Rush Recklessly, targeting his monster

I had a mix of Cyber dragons and Ancient gears. Was not that much consistent, as imaginable, but you had some nasty oneshot moves you could perform

Some of my earliest memories is playing with my brothers and cards getting bent. Edges getting crimped and lots of arguing about rules when we played against each other. 60 card decks with eveything random we thought was cool. I remember the one local I went to I told my grandma it would only be an hour and it would actually take 6 plus hours and I got locked out with two solar flare dragon. I had 60 cards no sleeves, no mat, 10 ish years old. Got my ass kicked. But boy those memories brought me back to it today I am excited to back it up again

My deck focused on summoning Dark Armed Dragon (that I got in a trade from my friend), and then boost it with ax of despair.

I also did the insect barrier dna surgery thing but I also had jinzo #7 and gravity bind as well and level limit area b , so I would just lock down everything one way or another and just ping for small damage until it was over

Seeing Maha Vailo and Mage Power in Rhymes hand and him deciding to not use them together hurts my soul

It’s too hard watching this video for me, A million mistakes, forgetting to flip stealth bird forever, love seeing you guys having fun but the nerd in me can’t handle the sheer amount of misplays from rhyme lol

imagine your in the DM world and your in a duel for your life and Kaiba summons blue eyes chaos MAX dragon and you said " ... But what if you didn't ..?" in desperation LMAO

You guys talking about purging your cards brings back memories how I got rid of so many cards from pokemon to yugioh. Such a shame.

Mucus yolk was my fav card back in the day. Idk why. But i loved it

Yo, that flame wingman animation is absolutely fire. It would be fun to duel for fun or content ^.^

I remember playing yugioh around 17/18ish and going to the card store by my job and buying packs and singles when I could afford them. My friend would always beat my ass so I remember seeing BLS Envoy of the Beginning and Chos Emperor Dragon Envoy of the end and spending my whole paycheck to get them both. Mind you this was way back when they were first released and were OP as hell. I couldn't wait to beat my friend and see the reaction on his face when I put them in my decks. They were both holo cards too. Unfortunately all my cards got lost/thrown out when I moved. Seeing how the vanilla cards now are each worth well over $500 hurts my soul, smh...

When I was kid, loved watching the old school DM. Got a little crazy during 3rd grade, the school banned Yugioh cards for silly reasons like uneven trades or simply sore losers that turned into fights. So I stopped entirely playing till like 7 years later. During 10th grade, I was walking through the hallway and saw some students playing Yugioh with a teacher (which I thought was amazing). Started watching them and got convinced to play a little. My first playable deck would be BLS. Q

My first deck was all about defense position so monsters with defense as high as mystic elf which is 2k was my monster cards, I also heightened my defense with the field spell card Chorus of Sanctuary and even had fairy box in my deck It was a great deck and my best 8 star monster was the blue eyes, I did have cards to protect it but I can't remember them unless its a search

1:21 I don’t think I ever played this strategy but I had this sort of fixation on Goblin King chameleon armor and DNA surgery.

I didn't even know the extra/fusion deck was a thing as a kid. I thought you just put all monsters in the main deck. Over the past few years, I relearned yugioh and found out what it was and for some reason ritual monsters aren't extra a part of the extra deck.

I remember running a 55 card deck that I tried to bring down to 52 of like 6 different archetypes. Mainly Cyber Dragons bc everyone loved those free 8 star synchros lol

i can't imagine rhyme young. i'm convinced he was born in the dino stance and never changed.

Searax did you add the new Slifer and Joker Knights support to your Knights deck?

For me, my deck was focused on flip removal like Trap Master and Man Eater Bug, big beatsticks like Dark Blade and for some reason The Bistro Butcher and then I had Moisture Creature as my boss monster, which in hindsight is the funniest thing in the world.

i remember playing a normal beat down and removal deck. My favorite and easy combo to use in deck was gearfried the iron knight, and blast with chains.

Was definitely thinking seereax was gonna bust out the og shining flare wingman

Childhood deck: Great Maju Garzette. Since I never knew about a ban list I just built my decks with 3 copies of cards I wanted, would use card effects to drop monsters(mostly ultimate obedient fiend) in grave and then revive them back only to tribute them for Great Maju Garzette(atk value is doubled the tributed monsters atk). Had several spells to remove spells/traps from field and 3 dark holes to clear opponents monsters so I could just deal massive damage.

That first duel was amazing lmaoo

My favorite early Yu-Gi-Oh moment was the Christmas morning that my mom bought me the Yugioh movie and the movie packs that went with it. I must've stared at Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon for a week

My earliest deck was Destiny Heroes and it was during the Synchro era. I’d have to use Doom Reaper’s effect to banish cards like RDA and Stardust and hope I could clutch up in card advantage and overpower them with cards like Dark City. I didn’t have any of the fusions tho so it was a pretty bad deck lolol

My bros and I loved watching the OG show back then, but we didn't really start actually playing Yu-Gi-Oh until my mom got us Duel Transer for the Wii (so basically, the Synchro Era before we even knew what the Eras of Yu-Gi-Oh were; hell, we didn't even start collecting physical cards until we were well into the Pendulum Era, almost starting the Link Era), so my "childhood deck" technically wasn't real. As the turn-based/card game nut in the family, I ended up playing it the most. I don't remember exactly what I ran in it (aside from Warriors, Spellcasters, and Dragons being the most common types of monsters I ran cuz they were the coolest), but I do know that I almost always had 60 cards in the deck after editing it as a way to overcorrect the fact that I had bad deck construction and was just bad at the game back then. My most notable cards/Boss Monsters of the time were The Tricky, Montage Dragon, The Fiend Megacyber, Silent Magician, Silent Swordsman, Final Countdown, and the only synchros I could consistently make at the time: Iron Chain Dragon and Colossal Fighter. Iron Chain Dragon was really fun to use (when the AI Opponents let me keep it on the field for more than two seconds) and Colossal Fighter was technically my "True Ace" since I always felt like an anime protagonist when I used its ability to revive itself from the graveyard (since it can target any Warrior type monster, including itself) to hang on and eventually win. Gotta say, nothing was more satisfying than drawing my one-of Final Countdown and then successfully stalling to victory to win battles that I definitely wouldn't have otherwise. The animation for it was awesome, I always loved watching those flames appear as they counted down to the enemy's demise. Those wins felt like villain moments sometimes, there was literally nothing they could do to stop the flames once they started. Oddly enough, I don't think I ever ran any Chaos monsters despite mainly having a Light/Dark/Earth deck. Either that or I just don't remember. It's been like 12 years at this point. I still play Duel Transer sometimes, with my current deck in it being a Psychic type deck. Psychic is deceptively fun to play.

Always loved crystal beasts had the deck as a kid.Jesse in the anime was a nice southern twist on jaden yuki but them being awful competitively (besides using hamon) was kinda sad now I play blackwings

Needs more maneater bugs. I loved those little suckers

I was 18 by time Yu-Gi-Oh! hit the scene. I only got into it because the original anime helped me deal with the death of my mom. It served as a perfect distraction at the time and that reason alone is why original Yu-Gi-Oh! will always be special to me.

So the gameboy games came with Obelisk and Slifer; that's neat. The Xbox game; Yugioh: The Dawn of Destiny originally came with the Winged Dragon of Ra with a yellow card back; that's the one I got, and I use to wonder back then how to get Slifer & Obelisk. As a Kid I ran Ra...despite it not being legal in duels lmao. I only played at home though vs my brother. I wish I could remember more about the deck I used as a kid, but I think it was a jumbled up mess that had both Ra & Blue-Eyes thrown into the mix. I do remember running Shadow Spell and Spellbinding Circle too vaguely.
