I have an idea for another in this series. Since new cards obviously creep old ones with the card pool normalized, what about classic, complete GOAT format decks vs the random pulls from new packs?
Fun fact: The Tri-Horned Dragon is treated as a ritual monster in some old videogames like YGO Forbidden Memories and YGO The Sacred Cards and its ritual card is called "Curse of Tri-Horned Dragon"
its also baffling as a secret rare. Its not as widely known as blue eyes, its strictly worse then multiple tribute monsters in the set, it could literally be a common
Love you guys, My kids watch you guys all the time and every day we duel and they come out of the gate with some new Strat. they even tell me things like "Paul taught me that one", or "Alec knows his stuff". I went through a lot of your duel videos and it's amazing how good you guys are and how entertaining the entire APS Team is, along with the editing it's all just amazing for the Yu-Gi-Oh! community. Edit: Forgot to mention how my personal fave is Alex, he seems very humble. I also noticed he usually comes out with the W's, looking forward to more videos and I'm hoping you guys do a duel with the anime style cards, that would be cool.
*Thanks for watching the new video guys! This match was a lot of fun to make and really close, too!* *We still have a fun new segment on the way, but had to hold off due to some, err... difficulties. Soon!* ™
Surprising how close this was all things considered. It is rather weird that modern boosters are really just that, boosters. They are useless by themselves and your best cards end up being the generic pack filler, not any of the actual playmakers people want to get out of them. It also is bad that they just do not have any spell/trap removal in them, but I assume it's because there really aren't that many new ways they can innovate the effect of destroying backrow, and they probably don't want to keep reprinting mst/twin twisters/dust tornado in every single set
Probably a result of lack of set rotation. All the spell/trap removal has already been printed so making new cards to do the same thing would just be redundant.
They have tons of ST removal in boosters they just are all archetype specific or generic cards that target cards on the field and not specifically s/t and POTENTIAL pulled none.
Just so you know at 17:32 when paul activates what he calls Terrors of the Underroot (the card image pops up for said name) the card's actual name is Terrors of the Overroot.
I spent 6 months buying LOB packs back in the GX era. Everyone at the shop thought I was stupid for it, but I wanted an original LOB Exodia the Forbidden One. I did eventually get it, but a month or so into my search I pulled a Red-Eyes Black Dragon, which was what solidified it as my favorite card.
@@ShadowSpadeX I completely understand this feeling lol it just feels different when you pull the card you want instead of just buying it like you feel defeated as you go to the shop to buy the single lol😂😅
If I was a kid and pulled all of these in 12 packs of lob I would’ve felt like the king of the playground, mostly because they were shiny and cool looking and that was all that mattered as a kid 😂
@@ygodecktestertube I do too man but I don’t miss my locals experiences as a kid 🤣 used to get scammed by the shop itself and if I did pull something good (like the dad from phantom darkness) some older guy would scam me lmao most of the people there were cool just some shady ish going on
@@Tkempwait Yeah. I was mainly a regional kid (as there were no locals in my area), and there was a lot of shady stuff going on at those, as well. But-I had my gramps with me all the time, so he made sure I didn't get scammed (even though he didn't play YGO).
@@ygodecktestertube sounds like a good man to support you and go to those things my parents and grand parents used to just give me weird looks when I’d ask to go to the shop 🤣
Alec won the best card pulls... even though Paul got the expensive Field Spell. Still this was REALLY CLOSE... for like a few turns. I'm glad Alec made a somewhat Defensive Deck to bring out Tri-Horn and Blue-Eyes... it just wasn't enough.
Simple answer: most likely no but depending on the amount of luck you get yes. Older cards were easier and more consistent on getting the cards needed since they had easier combos while newer cards need specific combos or types and etc..
@@ich3730 no the old school cards could have won if gaia power two prong attack and trap hole weren't misplayed. The old school cards could have won if they were piloted by a better player. And in a draft format life points matter. Because you play slower the slower you play the more life points matter. If Paul didn't gain life points the old school cards would have won.
The newer cards may do more things, but they by themselves ain't that useful and require more in-tune components to fully unleash their potential. Older cards are simpler and are usually more standalone in function, so while they may not be as strong, they are more consistent especially in this sealed duel format. So, I'd say it's 50/50 for either party.
This just shows how simple it was to build a functioning deck back then. Now you have to to jump through hoops to get an engine going. Packs are now supplements rather than building blocks, clearly. Better on the margins for them.
Alec may have lost the duel....but he won in luck! That was incredible luck to pull 2 supers, 2 ultras (Blue-eyes too!) and a secret rare from LOB packs!
Great vid. I was shocked there was as much back and forth as there was in it. For a future vid, might be interesting to see how a 2002 constructed deck fairs against a pack limited 2022 deck. Consistency vs power creep.
You wouldn't even have to limit the 2022 deck. Just allow the 2002 deck to have access to all the stuff it would have access to. The cards on the banlist are way more powerful than what we make now. Now the ban list is less a thing to tackle problem cards and more a means to sell no product and shut up the people complain that a card is good enough to the point where they have to learn how to play.
For the record, Ghoti is supposed to be pronounced as Fish because it is meant to poke fun at the English language. Ghoti is a proposed alternative spelling of the English word "fish", used to highlight the disparity between written and spoken English. It is derived from the "gh" in "tough" (pronounced as an "f" sound), the "o" in "women" (pronounced as an "i" sound), and the "ti" in "nation" (pronounced as a "sh" sound).
Those Gohti synchro monsters are some of the coolest looking Yugioh cards in recent memory. I hope the archetype gets fleshed out further because I wouldn’t mind building a deck around them.
I was so into that game when I was 9 back in 2003 and the only girl in class that was interested in it. We played alot at recess. I'm honest: I don't care about this game anymore. But you guys here are so nice and likeable that I watch it anyway. It's fun to watch, very entertaining. Keep going boys!
I liked how Alec made a goofy attempt to bring out his "two pronged attack" that fell on the floor. That move right there is a highlight of the Rare hunters ladies and gentlemen!
Looking at the descriptions between old and new cards just says it all. New cards just have a 5 paragraph essay describing what they do while old ones just say "Send opponent card to graveyard."
Those are 2010-17 Legend of Blue-Eyes reprint packs. They have higher pull rates than the actual vintage 20 year old LOB packs but much lower quality control for the cards. Go Team APS!
Any video you guys do that activates the OG game nostalgia feels gets a super like from me. Alec with the incredible pack pull luck was awesome to see. Would be cool to see progressively which old packs would have the best chance against a 2022 set: Metal Raiders, Spell Ruler, Pharaonic Guardian, etc until a set can match up and beat modern-day cards.
I was just stoked to see a stack of LoB get opened. Never expected that beautiful blue boi to pop rear its head!! My first booster ever was a single LoB I ordered from Pokeorder. It came with only 7 cards and I never bothered to ask for a replacement.
The one thing i can appreciate the old is how simple it was and easy to read cards now you need to learn how to read a chapter book before you can play yugioh and then memorize it all. As one word can screw you over.
"Yeah these cards are old, but alot of these cards were like, very useful at a point" Me being in my mid teens when Spell Ruler came out now feeling like a damned ANCIENT
Please, if you ever do something like this again, have the past and future players trade a pack, and the future player MUST run the old pack cards, while the past player may play the future packs if they want.
I would love to see a format similar to this: You two both get to open lets say 12 lob packs, build a deck and duel against each other Next episode you both open 12 packs of metal raiders, you can upgrade the deck fro last episode with the new cards and then duel again Next episode with the third booster that came out and so on You always get to upgrade your deck with the next booster expansion Would love to see that!
He activated terrors of the overroot but called it underroot and showed a picture of underroot. So it was really confusing because it would be a completely different effect including bashing monsters in the GY. But he used the correct trap card “overroot”.
Is it just me or has yu-gi-oh!. Gotten more and more complicated over last 20 years. It just simply used to be use trap, use spell, summon monster. attack. Now it’s summon monster, activate effect, special summon a monster from the graveyard, now synchro summon, now do pendulum summon, now activate another effect, now activate an effect you can’t read cause the text is too damn small.
Favorite play was summoning Spirit of Pot of Greed to draw a card, and then playing play Pot of Greed after it was drawn cuz to the effect of Spirit of the Pot of Greed. 10/10 card names made it hella funny.
me at the beginning: "hmmm, which would win... normal summon "beatsticks" with 1200ATK, no field control and no reactive play OR fieldspam with billions of effects for every situations"
I think this highlights my problem with archetypes and modern sets. The best things about older decks is that you could have a deck that could play with your friends off of nothing but a few boosters. It’s fun to play cohesive decks, but I would rather have more mechanics like link/synchro that make cards from different archetypes/sets cohesive
Alec: "You play by your rules and I'll play by mine!" Me a Person Who Dueled in 2002: "Yup that's the way we were! Fake Obelisk for the win with anime rules." - - - - XD Nah Alec won this duel summoning the original first SSR! Seriously way to go!
Seeing these packs opened back-to-back shows really nicely why Yu-Gi-Oh cards have small textboxes with a tiny font: they just didn't use to have any text on them lol
Thank you to this TH-cam channel , that I am addicted to Yugioh. I live in a country where Anime/Yugioh is non-existant but one video of this channel got recommended to me out of no where(when a yugioh players plays other card games) and I just clicked and don't know why but I got curious and excited to learn more about yugioh because of that video. Thanks to that vid now I am addicted to This game. I am a brand new player so I don't know about old yugioh but seeing people talking that old yugioh was more good and fun makes me sad, also I haven't experienced old dueling so, It makes me feel bad that Yugioh is going downfall . But I am not sure of this.
@@heroeus8173 Yes Sir, I play Duel links only(since 1 month) because in my phone master duel is not supported Sad:( but I am intrested in master duel too.Thank you for showing concern for a new player like me.
Go on brother! Some of us older players prefer slower pace of duels compared to the nowadays very rapid pace where duels can be over in two to three turns. But, to each their own. Play it however you enjoy it!
I think a better handicap would’ve been limiting the number of newer packs since the cards are stronger but more complex and require more pieces to function. Something like 6 new packs vs 12 old giving the weaker cards more flexibility
Considering that he would have lost anyways. That pot of greed play was literally the best thing he could have hoped for. Dude got to draw 3 cards before ultimately accepting defeat. If this game was gunna turn around. That literally would have been the moment that it did
I hate how the new stuff is so archetype focused. When it's not really complicated it locks you into a limited number of strategic options based on the archetype you can get your hands on. Sometimes it does both. The old stuff might be more general and so technically less consistent, but that generality also allows you to do almost anything you want with them and so is probably the more fun experience (excluding those obnoxious ban lists that pass for balancing the game).
We answered the question no one was asking! 2022 vs 2002 Twenty years makes a huge difference 😅
You almost had him lol
I have an idea for another in this series. Since new cards obviously creep old ones with the card pool normalized, what about classic, complete GOAT format decks vs the random pulls from new packs?
That's the most lucky 12 packs of LOB I've ever seen. Alec just rolled all his luck for the next year lol
Not rlly, its just the 5 bucks pack reprints. They have a guaranteed rare and maybe a holo, not just maybe a rare or holo like back in the day

This duel is incredibly fun to watch, will say with normal LOB packs you’re getting smoked tbh. You got some decent pulls therr
Very hyped that vendread finally FINALLY got some support after a very long time
I would love to see a format similar to this:
You two both get to open lets say 12 lob packs, build a deck and duel against each other
Next episode you both open 12 packs of metal raiders, you can upgrade the deck fro last episode with the new cards and then duel again
Next episode with the third booster that came out and so on
You always get to upgrade your deck with the next booster expansion
Would love to see that!

Progression Playoff or Progression Series?
@@hoffedemann5370 i actually meant sealed showdown, but i got autocorrected xD

Im confused about Terrors of the underroot, looks like you used it to negate a attack, destroy the attacking monster then set a monster?
He activated terrors of the overroot but called it underroot and showed a picture of underroot. So it was really confusing because it would be a completely different effect including bashing monsters in the GY. But he used the correct trap card “overroot”.
Is it just me or has yu-gi-oh!. Gotten more and more complicated over last 20 years. It just simply used to be use trap, use spell, summon monster. attack. Now it’s summon monster, activate effect, special summon a monster from the graveyard, now synchro summon, now do pendulum summon, now activate another effect, now activate an effect you can’t read cause the text is too damn small.
As have most games that have been around for 20 years
Favorite play was summoning Spirit of Pot of Greed to draw a card, and then playing play Pot of Greed after it was drawn cuz to the effect of Spirit of the Pot of Greed. 10/10 card names made it hella funny.
Sprit of the pot doesn't draw a card by itself. He already had pot of greed in his hand. He played spirit so he could draw three
Maaaad Respect for pulling those supers, that ultra blue eyes, and the secret tri horned inspiring me to wanna get some OG packs 😅
They are not og tho, reprinted. 5 bucks each. Everywhere available, walmart etc too
alec summoning that secret rare dragon was my favorite play
That Spirit of the Pot of Greed was the true MVP of this duel.

Larry seems to have some competition in pack openings.
Rollibg the metal dice over the unsleeved freshly pulled right arm of exodia hurts me on so many levels.
HOLY LOB PULLS! Alec is the people's champion. Haven't even started the duel yet and I'm just blkown away by this video already. Congrats Alec!
This was a cool and fun duel, but I'm just over here talking about how mat zones are never properly sized for defense position monsters (22:00).
You guys should do sets against each other, like Legend Of Blue Eyes vs Metal Raiders and so on.
No thanks, don’t need to see old school shit
Please bring back Larry in the hole. I loved that series. You and Larry are a great dynamic duo.
It`s impressive how long 2002 held. Now made real badass decks with cards from each time and start a revenche.

Like the idea behind this video! Good stuff my boys!!!
Paul & Alec pull 3 secret rares......."Nobody tell Larry or he's gonna put us in the hole!"
Favorite play was the cycling of field spells, it was very fun to turn the tables like that with something so simple yet so swingy.
Paul confused terrors of the overoot for terrors of the underoot… didn’t anyone else notice that? 17:30😂
Would be awesome to run it back, but allow you to make a deck out of the entire pool rather than random packs
me at the beginning: "hmmm, which would win... normal summon "beatsticks" with 1200ATK, no field control and no reactive play OR fieldspam with billions of effects for every situations"

27:57 since he went by the old rules, he shoulda summoned his deck master.
Seeing these packs opened back-to-back shows really nicely why Yu-Gi-Oh cards have small textboxes with a tiny font: they just didn't use to have any text on them lol
Thank you to this TH-cam channel , that I am addicted to Yugioh. I live in a country where Anime/Yugioh is non-existant but one video of this channel got recommended to me out of no where(when a yugioh players plays other card games) and I just clicked and don't know why but I got curious and excited to learn more about yugioh because of that video. Thanks to that vid now I am addicted to This game. I am a brand new player so I don't know about old yugioh but seeing people talking that old yugioh was more good and fun makes me sad, also I haven't experienced old dueling so, It makes me feel bad that Yugioh is going downfall . But I am not sure of this.
Hello,This is master duel rules however
If you want to learn and try to play
Download Yugioh duel links
@@heroeus8173 Yes Sir, I play Duel links only(since 1 month) because in my phone master duel is not supported Sad:( but I am intrested in master duel too.Thank you for showing concern for a new player like me.
Go on brother! Some of us older players prefer slower pace of duels compared to the nowadays very rapid pace where duels can be over in two to three turns. But, to each their own. Play it however you enjoy it!
Why did Paul say Underroot at 17:33 when he activated Overroot? It even showed the wrong card on screen lol
I think a better handicap would’ve been limiting the number of newer packs since the cards are stronger but more complex and require more pieces to function. Something like 6 new packs vs 12 old giving the weaker cards more flexibility
Man the text difference from old and new cards is unreal
So when does Paul and Alec’s future kids come back in time to kick their asses with Laugh attribute monsters and Rage summoning?
Considering that he would have lost anyways. That pot of greed play was literally the best thing he could have hoped for. Dude got to draw 3 cards before ultimately accepting defeat. If this game was gunna turn around. That literally would have been the moment that it did
Enjoyed this video and would love to see more stuff along the lines of this!
When did he pull the field? All I saw was the vendred super ritual monster
I hate how the new stuff is so archetype focused. When it's not really complicated it locks you into a limited number of strategic options based on the archetype you can get your hands on. Sometimes it does both. The old stuff might be more general and so technically less consistent, but that generality also allows you to do almost anything you want with them and so is probably the more fun experience (excluding those obnoxious ban lists that pass for balancing the game).
Paul had quite the grip on those packs while trying to open them lol
All the Vanguard fans either cackling or offended at linking our illustrious game to this powercrept bedlam
Those LOB packs were phenomenal. 2 supers, 2 ultras and a secret out of 12 LOB packs?? Unheard of
