*Use our code APS to get $5 off your delicious, high protein Magic Spoon cereal by clicking this link:* sponsr.is/magicspoon_aps 🥣 Happy New Year! Sorry for the wait, but we've finally got a new installment of Slifer Slackers! This duel was REALLY fun, too! Show the video some love if you don't mind! All of your support helps make this possible, so we greatly appreciate it!
I'm thoroughly enjoying the series, but I'm also jealous of you guys. You seem to legitimately be having fun and the back and forth of "wait, this card does what?" is so reminiscent of my early days in Yu-Gi-Oh. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you!
Loving the series, guys! For future reference though, Connection Zone can only summon Vehicroid fusion monsters. As in, they need Vehicroid in the name. Yeah, it sucks
It would be nice if each HERO monster had their own -Roid counterpart as their ride, like how Batman has his Batmobile, Wonder Woman her Invisible Jet, Spider-Man his Spider-Buggy, etc… Especially since their respective ducks users were besties in the GX era.
Jesus, the Spider-Buggie. The only time I remember seeing it was when Overdrive turned a car into it to chase Spider-Man up a building, and it was hilarious.
I recommend using 2 Poly in your Roid deck. TGS Anime went over the Roids this week and the Roid Connection Fusion only works for VehicleRoid Fusions and not all Roid Fusions
Do you feel the Power of the Duelist?! If not that's understandable this set features neo spatians and they.... need some help. Do you remember opening this set?
I loved this episode, probably one of the best ones so far. You could see so many overlooked cards from childhood in a more or less cohesive deck. It was a nice mixture of anime duel and casual duel between friends
Spent the last week binging Rare Hunters and this and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it! Its like a breath of fresh air for a very stale format and state of Yugioh right now. I most enjoy how it appears you are both just genuinely having a fun time with this!
Great game guys only misplay I caught was that super vehicroid connection zone can't be used for any fusion except vehicroid monsters and the only one at the moment is jumbo drill and can't be used for steam gyroid
That was a really fun match, the Wonder Garage save in game 1 killed me 😂 It's reasons like that to why me and my friend love playing anime decks, the random card interactions can be hilarious and super fun.
It took a few episodes but I’m really getting into Slifer Slackers now! I stopped playing before GX but most of these strategies are still classic Yugioh, just faster and with fewer top decks. Thanks for all of the effort you’ve taken in making this series!
32:39 can he do that I mean I know this is just a joke duel to entertain us but I feel like he forgot plot armor doesn't exist irl XD I love these guys
You know, looking back on it, it's kind of wild to think about the "Fusion Deck" (or Extra Deck, as we call it in the modern day), and how basically useless it was, competitively, for so long. In Gen 1, it was basically just a bank for Magical Scientist OTK shenanigans. I have no idea how useful it was during the GX era, but a lot of the cards do seem like they were not that amazing. So, when I think about how Extra Deck focused modern Yugioh is, it's crazy to me to think about how not good the Extra Deck was for so long.
the wonder garage play made me wanna play yugoih with decks like this, so niche yet it still worked. it's what makes the yugioh anime so charming to me
Honestly this is the best prog series to date. Your aren’t building to win specifically, you build what’s cool, what’s anime epic, and you just let it loose and it’s so fun and refreshing to watch. Love it y’all
This was the first set that really got me into yugioh as a kid. For the longest time my favorite card was ultimate tyranno. I was so hyped when i got back into the game and saw ultimate conductor tyranno
It's kinda sucks that the "ROID" Fusion Spell can't work on the other Roid Fusion monsters since they need to be called Vehicroid. OH well! Though that second Supercharge would have come in handy to just draw additional cards. Wonder Garage is just a dead card... though that 1 copy isn't a bad idea, but 2 Supercharges would have been better. Still, strong new Slackers for the new year!
Future fusion is a good card to use. I use it with my cyber dragon deck, although the power bond has been useful. Future fusion does help when I can't draw the cards I need
My best yugioh memory and experience, in the winter of 2003 my mom bought me and my late brother 1 pack of Legacy of Darkness in a blockbuster video close to our house, we pulled a secret rare Injection Fairy Lily and me and my brother were so happy because we rarely got good cards (we were poor back then and buying singles was not easy back then), ill never forget that day, RIP bro!
For the GX series, I think it would be interesting to have Trell as an Obelisk blue presenting an opportunity for extra cards/support for an archetype or Larry as a professor giving you your "midterm" and promotes someone to Ra yellow. Glad you guys are moving the series along with the virtual pulls. May the next few boxes add some spice to those decks.
Now all Paul needs is a Chain Material normal trap card See that card can let him fuse with Vehicroid connection zone from hand, field, deck and graveyard, banishing the materials. It'll cost him a battlephase but gets him the Jumbodrill, which dodges the side effect of chain material which blows up the fusion(s) it makes in the endphase, thanks to Connection Zone
This was such an amazing duel, you guys always keep me at the edge of my seat! As always, I had a blast watching this episode as I didn't expect Roids to do so much against the Hero deck! I cracked a lot of Power of the Duelist packs back in the day and tried to make a Roid deck work but failed miserably... I remember summoning UfoRoid Fighter in a duel once though (specifically with Tempest and Uforoid), I was so excited about it but got defeated nonetheless! Glad to see them back here :)
Technically you cannot use connection zone to summon steam gyroid because steam gyroid is just a roid & not a vehicroid, connection zone says fusion summon a vehicroid from the extra deck which is specific roid fusion monsters, not all of them, I don't care too much and I think these videos are actually awesome I'd just rather point it out for next time or for future videos as it a ridiculous game mechanic that makes roids one of the worst decks/archetypes in all of the game, even if they are very cool monsters😮
You damn Slackers! I'll have to admit that I don't have as much of a remembrance of GX sets. I was trying to master a spirit deck after running a Silent Swordsman deck during that era so I was in quite the world of struggling.
so glad to see a new episode, I always look forward to these. that said, I felt like the audio sounded a bit off. Like the mics were peaking or something, particularly from Alec’s side? I dunno, just thought I would voice my concern about it
This and 5D era were peak yugioh for me. I dont know what it is about modern yugioh. You go on master duel ranked and people take turns lasting like 10 minutes. Then pass turn, main phase 1 hits, you summon, and trigger another 10 friggin minutes of effects for them. So many negates and so many special summons. GX and 5D were just the right amount of everything for me. Also i have an affinity for E Heroes and Stardust. A 1st Edition Ultimate Stardust was my prized baby back in the day. It had a little dent in it from over time. Still sold it for about $500 raw 🎉 I miss it. 😢
29:35 Funnily enough, Ambulance Rescuroid's materials do an equivalent effect that ISN'T only once per turn when they're both on the field at the same time. Syrus did it in the anime with a De-Fusion.
That first game was a real rollercoaster Also, fun fact: Steam Gyroid is not a Super Vehicroid card, for some reason. So I don't think you can summon it with the roid fusion.
Paul piloted Roids pretty well but an Elemental Hero deck in this format is pretty hard to defeat. Especially with Future Fusion ....which by the way Alec you said it's intended for you but Paul was technically Sirus who's brother used this card not Jaden lol Still they were fun Duels and I love seeing cards from this era because this is when I had to skip out of on Yugioh as I was just out of high school and had a lot to learn in short time to do it before The Hell Years. Kinda nice to see what I missed out on as it was inteded. Then again I'll always have year 2 of Duel Links when this kind of deck was considered top tier.
It's weird to see these old boosters, my whole childhood... I've even got a Destiny Hero Dogma in Ultimate, PotD 1st edition, safe and sound in a sleeve ! well ok, it's in Spanish, but it's still the oldest card I have x)

Challenge with with a deck your opponent makes
@@johnowlgem9264Just made an oversight, that's all. Mistakes happen. No need to freak out over it, we can't all be perfect! 😆
@@TeamAPS sorry not trying to freak out just posted it in the wrong place the first time and don't know how to delete them my apologies :(
Elemental Hero Neos doing the Fortnite default dance was the last thing I was expecting to see today
I mean fortnite is doing a solid snake collab..
We could get yugioh skins
Same
I saw that and broke out into laughter. So agreed.
Yes give me Yugi and seto so I can hit the gritty after a victory royale
Same! It was kind of a jumpscare!
I'm thoroughly enjoying the series, but I'm also jealous of you guys. You seem to legitimately be having fun and the back and forth of "wait, this card does what?" is so reminiscent of my early days in Yu-Gi-Oh. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you!
Much thanks! This was one of the most entertaining duels, I think!
Really wanna remember the early days, go watch the rare hunter series they did.
Loving the series, guys! For future reference though, Connection Zone can only summon Vehicroid fusion monsters. As in, they need Vehicroid in the name. Yeah, it sucks
No thats the new rules
@TheNaturalGamer1 actually no....every errata of the card states it must be a "vehicroid" fusion monster
@@TheNaturalGamer1read the card explains the card
You're 100% right but I'm fine with Paul continuing to play it wrong. The way the card was designed is so dumb...
@@VReric I second that notion! But for the sake of fairness, I had to at least bring it up
Alec's reaction to Wonder Garage was not something I knew I needed
The funiest part of the video 😂😂😂
loved paul's "O-Snap" joke immediately followed by the deadest look into the camera. Keep it up guys love the content.
My face is a mess lol
"I can see why we're Slifer Reds" *as Paul casually lets his card slip his hand for Alec to see* 🤣
I'm terrible at this.
Sparkman not being able to beat over Cyber Pheonix is a series staple at this point
It is!
" I'm gonna tribute it " killed me, I love these series guys
It's surprising how close this series was considering how many seemingly dominant board states they traded.
This really demonstrates what cards they give protagonists and what the sidekick gets XD
Yeah, Roids just suck.
It would be nice if each HERO monster had their own -Roid counterpart as their ride, like how Batman has his Batmobile, Wonder Woman her Invisible Jet, Spider-Man his Spider-Buggy, etc…
Especially since their respective ducks users were besties in the GX era.
Jesus, the Spider-Buggie. The only time I remember seeing it was when Overdrive turned a car into it to chase Spider-Man up a building, and it was hilarious.
Instead, the Roids simply suck. Geez!
I recommend using 2 Poly in your Roid deck. TGS Anime went over the Roids this week and the Roid Connection Fusion only works for VehicleRoid Fusions and not all Roid Fusions
Too bad it help him much
Do you feel the Power of the Duelist?! If not that's understandable this set features neo spatians and they.... need some help. Do you remember opening this set?
I mean the Neos beatdown was putting in the work
Love this set so many memories nearest nail stations in Destiny Heroes to world😜
What great duels guys, the series has really hit its stride again and i couldn't be happier!
Once again, we return to Duel Academy for another clash between our favorite Slifer Reds: Paul and Alec. Get your game on! 😎👍
Alec making us Hero Enjoyers proud out here!
I loved this episode, probably one of the best ones so far. You could see so many overlooked cards from childhood in a more or less cohesive deck. It was a nice mixture of anime duel and casual duel between friends

Tough times, hard climbs,
We'll take 'em on together.
Right now, let's go!
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Generation NeXt!
Hell yeah!!!
Great game guys only misplay I caught was that super vehicroid connection zone can't be used for any fusion except vehicroid monsters and the only one at the moment is jumbo drill and can't be used for steam gyroid
That was a really fun match, the Wonder Garage save in game 1 killed me 😂
It's reasons like that to why me and my friend love playing anime decks, the random card interactions can be hilarious and super fun.
The look of disappointment on Alec's face during the first game. IM SORRY ALEC! LOL! THAT WAS TOO FUNNY! 😭
That was a super fun duel to watch! Hero's for the win! Very entertaining. Looking forward to the next duel. Lets go Alec
The editing of "I activate" cut to searching "elemental hero Sparkman!" Threw me off since I mostly listen to these videos
This was my Era
Thank you for the nostalgic duel
Themes like this make the days go well
really enjoyed this series + rare hunters. just caught up with it now! can't wait until/if there is a new episode in the future
This was a great duel! So much fun to watch, great job guys.
It took a few episodes but I’m really getting into Slifer Slackers now! I stopped playing before GX but most of these strategies are still classic Yugioh, just faster and with fewer top decks. Thanks for all of the effort you’ve taken in making this series!
Playing Future Fusion the way Slifer intended
I LOVE the animations for the ace monsters, great job Team APS!!! You’re all doing top notch content!!
Glad you like them!
That intro was hilarious. I don't know why Neos doing Fortnite dances absolutely killed me, but it did.
This has been one of my fav vids in the channel and find myself rewatching it every so often, keep up the good work
Finally, a Wonder Garage fulfilled its purpose
"Are they all Wonder Garage!?"
I love these type of vids, it feels like watching students playing during lunch. Old rules, no 5 min turns, just good old aggro
32:39 can he do that
I mean I know this is just a joke duel to entertain us but I feel like he forgot plot armor doesn't exist irl XD
I love these guys
🤷🏾♂️

it was good when gladiator beast released to counter dark armed dragon
Very good,I like the back and forth of old school Yugioh.
the wonder garage play made me wanna play yugoih with decks like this, so niche yet it still worked. it's what makes the yugioh anime so charming to me
Honestly this is the best prog series to date. Your aren’t building to win specifically, you build what’s cool, what’s anime epic, and you just let it loose and it’s so fun and refreshing to watch. Love it y’all
Elemental hero sparkman attacking cyber phoenix in defence position is a great way to summarize this series so far
Paul, you HAVE to play roids again! I really need to see you summon stealth union! It's just too funny!
Great series, guys!! Keep it going 🎉
Third game was very cool - lots of swings in board presence!
This was the first set that really got me into yugioh as a kid. For the longest time my favorite card was ultimate tyranno. I was so hyped when i got back into the game and saw ultimate conductor tyranno
It's kinda sucks that the "ROID" Fusion Spell can't work on the other Roid Fusion monsters since they need to be called Vehicroid. OH well! Though that second Supercharge would have come in handy to just draw additional cards. Wonder Garage is just a dead card... though that 1 copy isn't a bad idea, but 2 Supercharges would have been better.
Still, strong new Slackers for the new year!
ELEMENTAL HERO NEOS is my fave since he has lots of different ways to be involved with fusion strategies.
Future fusion is a good card to use. I use it with my cyber dragon deck, although the power bond has been useful. Future fusion does help when I can't draw the cards I need
Game 1 was amazing. I love to see that back and forth play.
My best yugioh memory and experience, in the winter of 2003 my mom bought me and my late brother 1 pack of Legacy of Darkness in a blockbuster video close to our house, we pulled a secret rare Injection Fairy Lily and me and my brother were so happy because we rarely got good cards (we were poor back then and buying singles was not easy back then), ill never forget that day, RIP bro!
20:02 its the Avian killer lool i laughed so much on this lowing it :D
I absolutely loved this guys. Your both total legends. Peace and gratitude from London 🇬🇧🇺🇲👍
For the GX series, I think it would be interesting to have Trell as an Obelisk blue presenting an opportunity for extra cards/support for an archetype or Larry as a professor giving you your "midterm" and promotes someone to Ra yellow.
Glad you guys are moving the series along with the virtual pulls. May the next few boxes add some spice to those decks.
Can we appreciate that intro for a second please 🔥🔥🔥
sad the series was discontinued, hopefully they make a similar format, rare hunters and slifer slackers was really fun
Alec's reactions to Heavy Storm LOL 19:48 and 31:41
Also clutch Wonder Garage at 15:45 eks dee.
Wonder Garage doing something. Now that's new!
Yes a new episode from one of my favorite series! Thanks for keep going!
Great episode guys, this was peak entertainment and comedy 🙏🏾🤩
"They should have had a Roid emergency call."
Paul has clearly never had hemroids.
Now all Paul needs is a Chain Material normal trap card
See that card can let him fuse with Vehicroid connection zone from hand, field, deck and graveyard, banishing the materials. It'll cost him a battlephase but gets him the Jumbodrill, which dodges the side effect of chain material which blows up the fusion(s) it makes in the endphase, thanks to Connection Zone
I haven't seen a duel featuring Neos and Vehicroids since War of the Worthless. I'm getting flashbacks now.
I love these obscure older decks with back-and-forth engagements and unusual cards that are well outside the meta.
As someone who used to play base Detiny Heros competitively back in the day this pavk brings back memories
This was such an amazing duel, you guys always keep me at the edge of my seat! As always, I had a blast watching this episode as I didn't expect Roids to do so much against the Hero deck!

Now this is Yu Gi Oh at it's peak!
Its cool seeing the archetype battles, feels much closer to an in character duel this time around compared to Rare hunters. I like it!
You damn Slackers!
I'll have to admit that I don't have as much of a remembrance of GX sets. I was trying to master a spirit deck after running a Silent Swordsman deck during that era so I was in quite the world of struggling.
Favorite card is the cover card Dark Neos. His effect kinda sucks but I loved the artwork as a kid! 😂
I liked Paul using that trap game 1 hilarious
I love you guys and your videos. You all are wholesome and thank you for bringing more joy to the world
I love watching duels with some classic GX cards. You guys make me wanna get my game on!
It's been so much fun bringing GX back!
Best episode of SS yet
This is the first video I've seen of yours, and it's lovely to see two friends enjoying a game together
Welcome aboard! I hope you check out more of our content 😁
that ended up being a great match. thank you guys
Great vid. It brought back old memories for me and made me smile. 😀
I'm actually glad Alec went for Heroes, they kinda fit him :P Also Future Fusion really helps that deck
The fact he actually resolved Wonder Garage not once, but TWICE is the most impressive thing about this series so far.
Man the hero buffs each set is crazy
One of my favorite episodes!
so glad to see a new episode, I always look forward to these.
that said, I felt like the audio sounded a bit off. Like the mics were peaking or something, particularly from Alec’s side? I dunno, just thought I would voice my concern about it
This was a great duel guys im happy too see the decks really flowing now
This and 5D era were peak yugioh for me. I dont know what it is about modern yugioh. You go on master duel ranked and people take turns lasting like 10 minutes.

A 1st Edition Ultimate Stardust was my prized baby back in the day. It had a little dent in it from over time. Still sold it for about $500 raw 🎉
I miss it. 😢
infernity is a thing back then
29:35 Funnily enough, Ambulance Rescuroid's materials do an equivalent effect that ISN'T only once per turn when they're both on the field at the same time. Syrus did it in the anime with a De-Fusion.
Against Hassleberry/Kenzan over who deserves to call Jaden "aniki" (the equivalent of of a big bro).
That intro was golden 😂
this episode was particularly fun! Great job Alec, you can finally give the heroes a victory retirement :)
Alec: Now to try and win with Destiny Heroes!
22:30 - Steam Gyroid cannot be summoned by Vehicroid connection zone as it is not a vehicroid monster
house rules: Steam Gyroid is a Vehicroid monster 😤
That first game was a real rollercoaster
Also, fun fact: Steam Gyroid is not a Super Vehicroid card, for some reason. So I don't think you can summon it with the roid fusion.

Kinda nice to see what I missed out on as it was inteded.
Then again I'll always have year 2 of Duel Links when this kind of deck was considered top tier.
That was legit a fun set of duels. Please keep this going!
It's weird to see these old boosters, my whole childhood... I've even got a Destiny Hero Dogma in Ultimate, PotD 1st edition, safe and sound in a sleeve !
well ok, it's in Spanish, but it's still the oldest card I have x)
bro i didnt expect the first thing I'd see is Elemental Hero Neos default dancing lmaoo
Ill be hearing that GX thmee very soon :) almost watching Season 5 of Yugioh (6th time watching it). And get to work on GX for the 5th time.
And people say this era had no fun, interesting gameplay.
Happy Moment
Yall rule as always
Neos was gettin it 😂😂😂😂
That first duel was amazing
