Man this takes me back, old school Yu-Gi-Oh in my opinion was a lot more fun to play.

So many memories. Please, turn back time :(

I know its 2019 but I hope more people will become interested in classic yugioh tournaments and for fun play.

from 2003 to 2005 was when yugioh was most competitive along with being the most creative. i miss those days man. it was soooo much fun. it's fun now but its all about archetypes and no individuality in the competitive field because the cards that can make it possible are splashable and get banned for that

Yugioh used to be such a simple game

Rageiki was a boss card on those days. Never got around to owning one

I love the old days of yugioh. I'm actually in the process of making a old school deck. I'll probably use stuff like the fang of critias or the fossil fusion monsters but that's cause they were in the original and gx series

Dang, I miss my childhood so much. Old school Yugioh all the way! Nice deck. :D

I miss the old days when I could duel without worrying about the synchro and xyz cards.

YESSSSSS, I was in 8th grade and this is my DECK! This is exactly what I ran with in 2003. I to believe it is when yugioh was at it's best in terms of fun and popularity. I use to go to the mall and there would be literally 30+ people every week to duel/trade with. Then we would all walk like a huge rare hunter mob to strike zone for tournaments on Saturday haha, best time in my entire childhood LoB - AS!!

I hate decks now days, it's all about archetypes. It takes all creativity out of making the decks. I miss the days where you would have to figure out what cards would combo together

Still love jinzo!

I still remember this one time I put Zero Gravity in my deck which switches all face up defense monsters to attack and attack monsters to defense. It wasn't anything special, but I figured it could save me from an attack in a pinch. My first test run, I used Goblin Attack Force which got switched to defense mode. My opponent tried to attack it, but I actived Zero Gravity, only to realize my Goblins are back to attack. That was back when there was creativity in Yugioh.

sweet deck. I miss the days of playing toys-r-us tournaments when there were 3 or 4 different card packs. when 1900 attack 4 star was HUGE. when it was only LOB even a 1400 4 star was usable

WOW!!! that was a mean trip down memory lane bro...those cards were a massive hype back in the days :) I remember getting my ass thrashed a few times by these lmbo! Thank you for sharing

I used airknight and kycoo in my control deck in 06-07. Kycoo was extremely effective at preventing bls nonsense. Tsukuyomi made airknight pretty useful too.

This deck's beautiful TT.TT

Everyone have the same cards back then. I love being old school. I stopped playing it after the first series ended.

Watching these videos makes me realize why I was top 40 in US back then.

God this video is nostalgic and a pleasure to watch. You honestly really deserve more subscribes. But regardless, I really love your videos. I can't wait till you eventually begin to make more!

Brings back so many memories haha... Awesome video! I remember me and my mates playing a 2v2 duel and some girls called us up, we just stood them up and continued playing lmao

Thank you for this blast from the past! I quit around 2007, but I miss the game. All these tuners and whatnot are so confusing

This is when I played Yu-gi-oh also. I went over to magic somewhere around Pharonic Guardians. I remember using Gemini Elf and Maha Vailo equipped with Axe of Despairs/Mage Power/United we Stand.

i was in Middle school when all those cards were out and I pretty much had all of the ones you had! great trip down memory lane bro! I just saw my cousin playing with all these new cards and i was like my deck would've recked yours lol! thanks for the video!

I agree that the game had peaked at the time of this deck. The power creep KoMONEY introduced to sell their latest sets ruined this game completely.

Really Awesome deck man. I've Been anticipating this for so long and you defiantly delivered. We need to duel some time!!

Ah memories I played from 02-04. I ran a beatdown deck and all these cards you're showing I had! God I miss those days. I used to love fissure, trap hole, mage power, imperial order, Solomon, axe of despair, united we stand!

These videos take me back. Thank you

This was awesome! Thanks man. I played someone at college about a month ago who had a similar deck to this. He had Goblin Attack Force and Elite, as well as some Monarchs though. I felt bad playing my Spellbooks against it. :/

I miss these days of Yu-Gi-Oh so much. The decks were so much fun to play and actually took a lot of thought to build and play.

Takes me back. I use to play a pure Spellcaster beatdown deck when Kycoo, Gemini Elf, and Dark Elf were legit with Axe of Despair. Jinzo was a pain in the ass to deal with if I didnt have the Axe to equip to a monster to deal with him.

Oh, Man. I remember going to regionals with a similar deck my opponent went first, I went second. He Yata him and it was the end of the match. This was crazy thanks for posting this. 😃

Omg so much nostalgia right here, this was almost my exact deck to a T, would throw in some spear dragons, goblin attack force, had to have magic cylinders and ring of destruction, etc. Yugioh is so damn confusing now compared to what it was back then. Most people had 1 of 3 deck types, low level beat downs with magic/traps to back it up, exodia or destiny board.

thank you for explaining the current ban list and the ban list back then, and your views on the reasoning for the ban. gives some nice perspective for a noob :)

This video sends me immediately to my childhood. I used to spend a lot of hours playing this cards with my friends. I still dont know why they mess this game with all those new rules and type of cards. Old school ones are better definitely.

Hey man, started following the channel for the old school content. I am 25 and this was the MAIN cookie cutter deck and I am so glad you made a video on it. I want to start up a KZfaq channel and do videos just like you. I am going to start getting back into collecting old school cards and if you ever want to do a challenge with old school packs or boxes let me know! I will buy the boxes/packs and challenge you whenever! ;) great channel! love it!

Awesome old school beatdown deck man. I had a deck almost identical to this one, except I ran 2 Kycoos, 3 GAFs instead of the Spear Dragons, and a couple of other 1 tribute high attack monsters. Dark Ruler Ha Des was always one of my favorite cards, though I never saw too many other people using it back in the day.

I Had exatcly the same deck dude. Oh my god what a time that was..Now we are 30 years old and all those good years is just a memory. Feels sad

OHHHHH THE DAYS OF PROPRIETY when you mentioned it with exiled force you reminded me of something i hadnt thought of in yugioh for years

Wow I remember running a similar deck, I luckily had 3 Chasers, I remember I had won a tourney and had $50 store credit when Yata first came out and pulled him, great memories!

Man do I miss those old days

Man, seeing this video gave me massive nostalgia. I played a deck very similar to this right before i stopped playing.

Great nostalgic video man thx for sharing

Such a beautiful deck :') I miss the old school

The memories of Jinzo 😢 only one kid at my primary school had him and when I got one he thought I stole his because it was so rare

My favorite era I’ve played since the beginning, seeing these old cards brings back so many amazing memories

I love this video and I think it would be really cool if you posted another old school deck maybe from a different format?

A nostalgic trip indeed! Very nice! :) And Raigeki came off the ban list after all this time!

I got the same beat down deck pretty much down to the card gotta love the beatdown deck. With the yata lock for a back-up I have all the original sets. PSV was when i starred playing and collecting. I've had them in mint condition for years i would open the packs and put them In the sleeves. I wouldn't play a card till I got an extra one for my deck. I got pretty much all the sets up till they started reprinting all the cards in those two sets. I have one of each starter deck in the packs most 1st edition LOB and the one after it was hard to get first edition. I started playing a little to late to get the 1st edition on those.I checked out your collection videos we would have had some crazy fun. If you lived close i would hang out and play like the old days. I'm glad that i didn't just give them away and saved them. I knew they would hold value in time you had magic and Pokemon those cards would go for crazy money. Then yugio always had cards worth a few bucks but nothing like black lotus for magic and can't remember the ones for Pokemon never played it at all. Good to see yugio finally getting some respect in that sence. I saved all my tins, I always wanted to buy two of each and save one wish i did. Same thing with the packs i opened so many TP packs and still got the holos from them didn't get to collect those till late so i don't have all those sets. I used to love the video game cards I always made sure i had one for my sets before i would use them. I missed the first few cause i didn't start collecting until PSV it is what it is. You got some serious cards you were not playing when it came to preserving them.

Awesome deck dude I was also an old school duelist and had a good deck until it was stolen now I just have a few cards let as a momento tried to get back cards to make a deck but it's hard to get here thanks for ur videos dude keep it up

I love seeing old decks I like to play the format up to pharaohs servant and when me an my friends play we include cards from Pegasus and Joey starter decks even no they came out post labrinyth of nightmare

Man this brought back memories. I played up through Pharaonic Guardian back in the day and ran a very similar deck to this but it was more hand destruction focused. God Yugioh was so fun back then. I'm actually in the middle of researching a tcg comeback but I'm torn between playing this new Yugioh or MTG. I'm not sure if I would like the new Yugioh. Just found your channel, great stuff man.

This deck is actually good on a Minecraft server called Yu-craft which is currently 2003 style this helped alot! Thank you!

Ran a cyber jar in that deck too. A beautiful ultimate rare cyber jar, just making it even saltier lol

idk why i was looking for early 2000 yugioh decks on youtube but cool video

WOW! this brings back memories. Your deck is very similar to mine. minus the solomon judgement, trap holes. i had other cards i would play like 7 tools of the bandit and some sheep cards that would work great with united we stand. good times.

so many good memories with these cards.. I love the old school cards the best

Such a great deck man! I feel old now :(

Best video thanks for making this bro!

This was a great video. I miss finding summoned skull with witch of the black forest in those days

How I missed the good old beat-down deck, I miss it so much! :(

me and my friends play with the new stuff but we also have old school decks that we play with and they are a lot of fun, defo cool to see this!

I remember I used to play random decks with different monster types just because I enjoyed the artwork and customization of it. Most people didn't care for field cards except me. It was basic gameplay but some things required strategic playing: I remember playing an adult who work at the main card store. He played his turn wrong, and I just kind of watched him make the mistake until it was my turn. I mentioned what he did wrong and I won the duel that turn. He was like "Awe, your right!" And he shuffled his cards and kind of banged them hard on the table. Lol. I just smirked.

I miss the days when I could change of heart my opponent's monster when I was going second then tribute for a Summon Skull, the kids in my elementary and middle school hated when I would do that.

Yugioh was so much fun back then :( it's so different now. Nice deck profile, lots of people were running ones nearly identical to this including myself.

Man I used to play when all these cards were unbanned, and still have most cards that you showed, you are right yugioh was at its prime back then, it was so much fun, I stopped playing and after a few years I saw so many new kind of booster packs that I just didn't feel to catch up, hopefully a new trading card game will appear!

i like how all of your cards are from booster packs. Back in the days kids from my hood struggled to find some good commons from structure decks.

Brings back memories. I think I had a similar deck except I had some goblin attack force

Bro seeing these cards does something to me, like inside, I can't explain it, but I get like really happy, and full of nostalgia, it's a one of a kind feeling. Makes me wish I didn't have adult shit to do on Saturdays, and I can go to my local card shop and there still be over 30 people there, signing up for the Saturday Tournament, and we just play yugioh from noon to 9pm.

This video made me nostalgia so hard i love this channel

Gotta like ur video. I had the same deck. Basically those were the peak cards of the era. I had dark ruler of ha des. It counters of those flip effects and nobleman crossouts

Awesome! This is the YuGiOh I remember. And I had those Same Blue sleeves lol

I was only 7 in 2003, so to me then playing Yugioh was just playing with whatever cards you had with your friends at lunchtime and pretending to know the rules haha. The only time I actually really learned to play the game competitively was when I bought 7 Trials to Glory on the GBA in ‘05, and seeing this profile really brought back memories of playing that game! (The first game I did play was Dark Duel Stories in 2004 but, as you know, did not follow the traditional rules of the game and was completely confusing)

OMG, your deck is sooooo well preserved! my old deck is all f@ck3d up!! xD

i had every card you showed in my deck back in the day. no wonder I dominated in my neighborhood. Never competed just played and traded with friends back in 02-04 when i was in 8th grade. Good times without the need for internet haha

This brought me back, I had every single of these cards at least 1 copy lol.

my deck is straight up old school cards to, the original series was my favorite. :)

This brings back soooo many memories of my childhood

I come back and watch this every couple years lol

I played yugioh from when it first started until ROD then quit until I came back in 2009 and officially quit in 2010 when the gold series came out. Havent played since then but i still own most of my cards and besides 3 of your old school deck cards, i still own i suppose 95 percent of what you presented. I tried getting back to being competitive again in my old age.._im 28 years old btw but its so complicated and people do like 10 moves before their first turn for me to find it fun anymore. I still will never get rid of my cards though.

I used eye of truth, snatch steal, dark room of nightmare and bad reaction of simochi ALL the time, so good

Thanks for sharing this looks so fun

"The ultra disgusting Imperial Order" - juggaloian0088. The hatred is real.

I'm so jealous...congrats on your collection.

You should do a tutorial video on old-school deck-building for beginners, great deck and video.

imo they should have all cards playable exept for yata and god cards cause back in the Day the old ones where a Lot better than the mixed up bs they pullin out since 06-07, wich also was the time i stopped playin, btw good Video and keep up the work^^

Nice, I feel the game was at its peak right before lightsworns and teledad came out but this is the most nostalgic

so much nostalgia on this channel :D

Yyuuuppp. I have that exact same deck. Like 90% of those. I like to change a few cards but basically we had the exact same cards 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I think torrential tribute was my favorite card. So powerful in its day.

Cool deck. I ran an old school equip spell warrior deck with a BLS-Envoy as the boss monster. Miss playing it

absolutely loved the video.

Fuck man... nostalgia hit me like a train

Good old Yata-lock, Slayed ol' many nerds with that. My personally favorite card won me a regionals. Also weird that you didn't run a Ring

Now this is what I'm talking about. Classic yugioh deck!!

They need to go back to these days, this new shit is to complicated and to many high powered monsters.. thanks for this video man i also have a good old school deck would love to duel sometime

I would definitely duel u with oldschool decks. That would be awesome!

you reminde me in my old school deck, i used to play with a similar deck but with some different spells and traps

Man I had every one of these cards! No idea where they are. My heart

No way dude! Cyber Jar is such a fun card. Even my friend have fun when I wipe their cards away lol
