17:48 I LIVE for these moments!

Amazing how having interactive, back-and-forth games is actually fun and doesn't require a game timer. I'd consider getting back into YGO if the games were like this all the time.

I love dueling with decks I forgot existed! Did any of you guys pick these up?

Paul: *summons cyber dragon after his normal summoned Monster got destroyed* Alec: "You a wild dude“ 😂

Thanks for watching the new video, guys! Hopefully you enjoy this duel as much as we did. Apparently some of these monsters are pretty strong in Duel Links right now, too?

These were my first purchases when I got back into Yugioh with my friends. It introduced me to my favorite archetype, D/D/D (even if Pendragon is not used for D/D/Ds). For a while I tried to use a deck that fused the starter decks together. Sort of like chaos, but much, much worse.

Alec my dude, Exploder Dragon can't inflict damage, nor you take damage from battles with it

Can you guys do a dueling series where you buy decks based on the character and do the mc vs the main villian. Like Yugi Vs Pegasus

While the decks are nothing to write home about the duel was old school fun at least I think! That's worth more than probably what Team APS paid for the decks.

Some classic cards there! Takes me back about 20 years when I got my first pack! Why aren’t cards like these any more!?!?!?

It's so nice to see a duel in which traps are actually sitting on the field and allows the classic "Aha, you activated my Trap Card!" flips. 😄 It sucked when your tribute summons got Trap Hole'd and especially sucked when your (then much more rare) Special Summons got Bottomless'd 😅

It’s moments like this why I loved YuGiOh just an honest gameplay & just trying to figure each other’s strategies

Hey guys great video just wanted to note around the 6:00 minute mark when he attacked with exploder dragon you actually shouldn’t of taken any damage as exploder dragon cannot deal damage when it declares the attack

Just want to say thank you for getting me back to Play yugioh for fun and not serious. You're seriously the best KZfaq channel. Greetings from Denmark ✌️

I love these duels they’re always so back and forth

This is so fun, but the sadness of knowing that I can't duel like you guys do simply because my eyes don't work really sucks. There is no Yugioh platform for the blind to play alongside with the sighted. We are a segregated community who have been ignored for a very long time.

17:46-18:03 gave me serious Yugi VS Kaiba in Battle City vibes 😲😲😲😲! Well done, fellas 😁👍!!!

In the UK we got it as a 2 player starter deck. We got half of the cards from each deck and thats really sad. However, im thinking of getting the pendulum domination strucutre deck. Ooooohhhh how about a pendulum domination vs master of pendulum duel? That would be cool

I miss duels like this. These are the most fun types of duels. It's for this very reason why I'd love Konami to make a similar product to MTGs Duel decks. Just 2 decks that are designed to be played against each other for fun, neither one more powerful than the other.

Your dueling videos are so great because you guys explain what the cards do like you're characters from the anime and it's gold.

One time I was being punished, and had my cards taken away. 7 months into this punishment, it was pointed out by my mother, who disapproved of this punishment length, that the punishment only applied to cards taken away at the time. So I bought a few random card packs and that reiji deck. These were the newest card I've had in YEARS, and built a semi formidable deck. I still didn't stand a chance against my brother, who pretty much had access to the newest sets on his b-day and Christmas

As someone who played with DDD getting back into the game, this made my day.

This is absolutely fantastic. I never thought I'd touch Yu-Gi-Oh! again, it has been a LONG time, like...over 15 years long? And while I still have issues with the game, the nostalgia has been WILD! And this is exactly the kind of stuff I loved to see. This level of Yu-Gi-Oh! with nice synergies and simple back and forth seems so much more interesting than the hyper-combo mess I have seen lately. Casual play with friends is the best part of any game and you two are fun to watch! I do gotta say: PLEASE slow down the closeups of all the cards! I know almost NONE of the cards and had to split-second pause to even ATTEMPT to read them. Maybe a side display to keep the most recent card? The animations and layouts are nice, but this was a real annoyance. Good video otherwise! Keep it up, you have a new interested subscriber.

D/D/D is my favorite deck of all time, although this structure deck isn't the best but still happy to see it nothing less.

Best part of your videos is u explain what the cards do as u play.. as an old school pre synchro player trying to get back into the game the toughest part is learning all of the new 10000+ cards

Man you guys did another great video takes me back to when you two dueled with the Link and Pendulum Structure Decks and Alec pulled off that Poison of the Old Man to beat Paul exactly and now Paul wins with Black Pendant which was actually a card I hated going against when I first started playing.

D/D/D is my favorite deck to play in Duel Links and with the Reiji event right arund the corner, I'm hyped, and I love your casual duels you guys are the best, shout out from Mexico

I love these kinds of duels. High level duels get a bit boring but these kinds of duels have that old fashion "just for fun" duels where you have no idea what's coming.

discovered this channel a few days ago and started watching all your videos...so much nostalgia! and I have to say that you guys are getting better with time, the editing, the ideas for the videos, the challenges. Love it, keep it up!

These types of decks bring about the funnest games. My students usually get basic decks like these and they’re so fun to watch.

This video shows why i collect structure decks - they're so much fun and simple to play. Playing competitive feels less fun to me

13:50 “I don’t have a hand” lifts up both of his hands.

I watched your odd-eyes / Vendreads duel just yesterday and noticed you really amped up your production quality since then. Great job gentlemen!

best part of the duel.. Paul: Special Summon Cyber Dragon!! Alec: You a wild dude XD

10:02 the good old days. Simple and clean. Honest. Also 17:51 MST PARTY!!

this is how me n the guys play. a mix of old and new. just essentially nothing that can't be played around. except on the turn decision we both decided to roll dice, and whoever gets higher has to go first. (so first turn is always random)

Btw exploder dragon can't inflict damage to any player if it attacks *INCLUDING* direct attacks

00:50 My friend on second grade after we buy our school supplies from target

The mst chain brought back some great memories. GGs fellas 👍

I have an idea for a structure duel. How about do a 50/50 match. Where you take 2 structures deck. Both players then pick 20 cards from their respective decks to keep. Then other 20 cards go to the opponent. I feel like this would be an interesting match.

The color coding with the sleeves and the mat was very well done

14:47 could have been a phrase straight out of the anime 😁

When Exploder Dragon attacks or be attacked neither players take any battle damages. That is missplay.

These decks are perfect for teaching the game, at least the basic and simplicity of the game. It has vanilla beaters, a special summon ace, and very nice old school staples and very basic effects. Konami needs to make these from time to time. To get new players in the game.

Since you guys are starting to get a pretty big selection of starter decks who not do like a king of the hill series. Start with the yugi vs kaiba deck, whichever wins plays against the Joey, whichever wins plays against the Pegasus, and so on and so forth. Then do it with the structure decks, then at the end of those have the best starter face the best structure. You can do it with archetypes in general as well.

Man just some old classic Yu-Gi-Oh, always the best

Saber Strike was actually the first ever Yu-Gi-Oh product I ever bought and is what got me into Yu-Gi-Oh. Seeing you guys play with these cards is a huge nostalgia trip.

Old cards are SO much more fun to watch. It is easy to keep up with what is happening because most cards only take like 4 seconds to read. Whenever they do modern card duels, I quickly grow bored because I have no idea what each card does, and it would take literally 20 minutes to read every card played in the video.

12:40 Huh, never knew that Axe of Despair was altered in the west. I always thought that the axe looked weird.

That's a nice slugfest deck. As Alec said, they're really nice structure decks for new players.

this was my first ever deck. i still finding dueling with those cards the most fun

all my decks excluding branded despia are 5yrs or older i enjoy the older decks and its alot of fun looking through my books and remembering making the deck when it was new

This is how Yu-Gi-Oh! was meant to be played. Back-and-forth, an actual DUEL. Not just "whoever can vomit out their 30-card 10-minute combo first wins."

I don't know crap about Yu-Gi-Oh, but the charisma and chemistry of everyone on this channel is off the frickin' charts, so I keep coming back.

I did not except a game 3 when I saw that this was only 20 min video. I thought one of you guys just bricked and that was the end of it. Great video keep up the good work

me: spending my whole night watching these amazing duels :D

Some old cards and a misplay here or there but still love to see back and forth duels.

the black pendant win was so awesome. I've done that by tributing a monster that it was equipped to. non battle phase wins are classic. for me atleast

6:07 Also, I don't think Paul would of taken any damage there from exploder dragon since it states neither players takes any battle damage from attacks involving this attacking card. Although it wouldn't of really made a difference in the end of that round anyways.

Yo I was feeling this duel. Felt like classic back and forth yugioh!

I really enjoy how you're playing Yugioh duels and use classic cards. I hope you made a Yugi vs Joey duel or Mai Harpie Lady's deck vs. Amazon's deck. Greetings! 😁

I need a friend who is just like the two of you, who plays with structure decks, no tryhard shit, I miss it

You guys should do a competition but each of you are using the decks of the main protagonist of each show and see who wins.

So i have been watching for going on two years now and even seen videos from past then. I love to see the evolution from older starter decks to new decks. Watching definitely help me understand new decks and strategies thank you keep up the great work. A thought came to mind if you had your viewers comment and if they guess but a certain turn guess the life points and who ever guess the closest the yop three get a random three card or w.e but you get the idea. Love the battles and animation on other duels keep up the great work fellas

You all gotta do a 2x2 tag team Duel, 160000 LP (8000 each), mandatory 100 card random (can pick the cards and build the decks with teammate out of random selection of cards but each deck is 100 (so 400 cards involved total) No more than 3 copies of anything though. And whoever takes damage has to eat a random beanboozled bean (no looking a flavors prior to the match, only during and while eating) (just make a hole in the box big enough for only one to come out at once and whatever comes out is whatever is eaten, can shake it before but gotta cover the hole). And if its too one sided rematch with Pegasus random rules to spice it up. Will teach you all to be better duelists!

Y'all should do a series where each of you talk about a specific card/deck and why you picked it for the subject to show off your experience. Such as the most broken card weirdest deck etc

I love old school YGO, no 15 minutes turns, no handtraps, just lovely.

In France, it is not 2 different decks but the same so there is only 20 cards of each deck

The laughing when Paul explained negate attack 😂

Mirage Dragon! GOOD LORD, does that bring me back to my childhood. lol

Over in germany we had the two Decks mashed together and it came out as a ,,2player starter deck" out of one box. But you could play the 2 20 card decks as a whole 40 card deck. Me and my brother just bought 3 copies of the deck and build 2 pretty good decks to play against.

Can't wait for my Dark Legion deck to get here so I can build my own deck around D/D/D Dragon King Pendragon! Such a badass card.

Really nice duel! We got to learn what Negate Attack does! Maybe one day Paul will show us what Pot of Greed does if we're lucky

Man such nostalgic, Saber Force was my first deck and it's nice to see it again.

12:51 made me choke on my pistachios 💀😭

Could you guys do anime based duels. Like try to copy the deck from the animes (any of them)as much as possible and duel with them. I think that'll be entertaining to watch . Maybe it actually goes down like in the anime 👀

These decks are so hard to find in Australia where I live. I had no idea people where still selling these decks.

Holy shit look at Paul’s thumb at 15:25

Love seeing a chain of 3 MSTs in a row.

They probably thought that the pendulum mechanic was too complicated for beginners, so they left it out of the starter decks

I was the king of my middle school format with that dark legion plus a scholastic booster pack with obelisk and a lot of like starter deck grade stuff.

Paul: negate attack Me: what does that do Paul: it negates your attack Me: that's on me i set the bar to low

Let's see a more modern structure deck vs. one of the older legacy ones. Maybe start with like old Ancient Gear structure (with the gadgets) vs. the newer one with Geartown.

Paul made a bad move in game 1 when he summoned Odd Eyes Saber Dragon, he should’ve attacked Exploder Dragon, then Rush wouldn’t save it. The only question to ask is if Saber’s effect to pop will still activate despite Expolder’s effect to pop? Because if it still works, Saber will destroy Exploder and pop Pendragon, then Exploder’s effect will pop Saber and leave the field empty.

Did Alec really just lose because he wanted to be an A-hole? When trying to BM goes horribly wrong lol 😂😂😂😂😂 Awesome videos. Love your content! Oh God it cost him the duel, too!!! He had to have felt that one for the rest of the day. Even if it's just for fun no one wants to go out that way 😂

Dam that cyber dragon really turned around that duel

That mystical space typhoon chain 😂

I really appreciate u shaking up ur structure Deck duel formula. Keep up trying new things. I really enjoyed ur more straightforward technique this time

they feel like decks that i make just a variety of different cards but mine are way more scrambled

Funny how a duel can be such fun without all the overblown combos like: LINK this, LINK that, activate this, activate that...

Can I just mention that im germany we didn't get these decks? We got a combimation of the two in one single structure deck that could be split into two 21 card decks so you could play with your friends.

Who would've thought having no first turn 5 negate end boards would make the game more fun lmao

I feel the sacred beast deck is still missing some solid support but was a fun match

I am very very surprised that these came out when pendulum monsters basically just came out

I want to see the Cyber strike structured deck versus the old cyberdragon structure deck

Luster Dragon, and also Luster Dragon Number 2 should've been in these Structure decks!

Konami neuron has a dice and coin function on it. It is right next to Paul’s life points.

Lol the MST chains 🤣🤣🤣

Hi guys! Love the old school duels! You guys are awesome, keep em coming! 😊

Video idea, Take all the starter decks ever released (that you guys own) write their names down on a spinning wheel and hold a tournament where you spin the wheel and thats the deck you use. After each round you spin the wheel again to use a different deck.
