*Even though Walmart's Yu-Gi-Oh Power Cubes are trash and a scam, this was still a very fun duel challenge! Larry and Alec had a good time, at least! Soooo... Has anyone ever bought one of these and actually gotten one of the chase cards?* 👀
I can't believe Alec called the elementsaber monster useless. It's effect while in the GY is useful for his deck. All he need is that dark monster and the elementsaber monster and he can summon BLS. All he have to do is change the elementsaber to be a light monster and boom he has BLS on the field lol. He should know that every card has its value.
How did Alec... no, scratch that... How did NO-ONE at the table realize that you could convert that Elementsaber to light attribute in the graveyard and banish it to summon BLS? You had a whole conversation about what it does!
I love that from a perspective standpoint, you think you are getting a whole cube of cards with the pictures being interesting(if you don’t read the cube). Then you open the cube revealing it’s basically a bag of chips with it being mostly air lol
I'd love to see a video where two APS members build decks from random bulk and two other members have to duel with them without previous knowledge of what cards are in it.
I'd like to add an extra wrinkle where each APS deckbuilder is actually trying to make the best deck they possibly can, either because the winner gets a reward, or because the loser gets a punishment. But the player themselves is off the hook, so it's ENTIRELY up to the builder.
some cards are in Portuguese, attack of two edges, "dois" not "dios", "dois" means two, which in general means "attack of two edges" but the original name is Two-Pronged Attack
so at the 8:00 mark alec says that elementsaber monster is useless. if he wanted to summon bls or chaos sorc, he can change the elementsaber monster to light, get a dark in the gy..then voila! so its not that useless
It's so cute to see them not understanding any Portuguese! I genuinely lost my breath from laughing so hard when they read "dois gumes", which means double edged and understood "god". Dois = Two / double in that case. Gumes = Edged, like a sword.
Have you all considered making your own "cubes"? Pick/curate monsters/Spells/Traps/Etc... Then split them into piles. Dole out a set amount from each pile for people to build from. We do similar things in MTG for drafting where players essentially build their own "set" and then draft it with friends after randomly creating "packs" of cards to use.
those oversized plastic sleeves are usually used for stuff like baseball cards. some ppl use them for shipping cards sold on online market platforms like cardmarket in the EU. Some of my MTG orders came in these.
5:35 - personally, I use them for my Commander decks. I tend to get the nicest version of my commander that I can, so I put the sleeved copy in a hard sleeve as an added bit of protection (and an easy divider in my long box of Commander decks).
I remember a cube that had a deck in it, but it was from Target. Right know they have a Walmart version for about $30 online. But Paul read the box it will tell you if it has a deck or not.
Technically you guys dont even need to buy one of these cubes for a video. Use the fan dark magician deck that was sent over a short while back and for its opponent grab like 100 semi-random old school cards in your card boxes. Shuffle it and the top 40-50 cards is your deck hahaha
@@GaybrohamStinkton my dude reading isnt hard. they usually have their names somewhere in the video. plus, alec and his twin were in the "yu-gi-oh in real life" video together.
I just imagine someone being late for their flight and forgetting their bag with their deck and having to go to Walmart to grab one of these before the tournament tomorrow and pray they can throw something together that doesn’t make them look stupid in front of everyone…now that I think about it, I can bet that happened.
At 5:38, is that one of the guys they got into dueling like a year or more ago? They showed him and someone else how to duel and I remember seeing a while ago that one of them actually got into it. Looks like him
When Larry take that Black Hole in PT I just laugh so hard and thinking why the hell an north american Wallmart has cards in other languages. That aside, I felt very represented with these PT-BR cards, great video!
Larry was thinking about the mystery boxes rather than the power cubes. Those do actually sometimes have valuable booster packs and/or structure decks in them.
"Norden? I remember when that card was good." You mean literally still broken today and is probably never leaving the banlist until instant fusion is on there?
This would be kind of cool if you bought one of these cubes, and then went to a LCS and see if you could build a deck with their bulk using the mystery cube as the core.
If I'm not mistaken, Alec couldn't use the Chaos Sorcerer's effect because he was special summoned on the field while knightmare gryphon was on the field, and griffin says that you can't activate the effect of special summoned monsters unless they are linked.
Anytime I see Interdimensional Matter Transporter I always think of this kid in my class who refused to actually read card names and always called it International Meteor Transformer.
20:30 If you had activated Gatchiri @Ignister effect when you summoned Knightmare Gryphon, you could have made Gryphon unaffected by the opponent cards on the next turn, avoiding the Dark Hole
None of these (with only singles) are more than 15. Anything as expensive as you're saying has a deck and/or packs. I know where these specific cubes they use come from and if you were to buy the cubes alone direct from the manufacturer, you'd be paying 15 each by the way (with the lowest shipping tier being 50 dollars). That's obviously not what they're paying because you know they're making money on them from getting a deal for buying in bulk for retail use but for these the cube alone is worth it on an individual level if you're wanting a storage solution in this size because you're getting bonus cards and not having to pay that ridiculous shipping.
I like how you guys allow "redos". Other duelists I watch would totally be jerks and not let unintentional mistakes be fixed. Robbin Zombie technically shouldn't have had its effect resolve, but you allowed it to anyway. Doing these gestures definitely makes your duels feel like they have more heart.
I really love these duels. Sure, metta and archetypes are consistent but I love the creativity behind these random cards that you know will be bad. These, the ebay duels, the wamlart duels. All so great as well as the fake card duels. 10/10 for fun and creativity
The plastic container itself is the most valuable thing from these cubes. True story. I am surprised they can get away with this level of false advertisement lol
I feel like this might have been a bit more interesting/playable if each of you got 3x to work with and compared it to the structure decks of the last year or two.
I wish my Walmart would have Power Cubes... Nowhere in my area sells Yugioh cards anymore. My Books-a-Million, Target, 2 Gamestops, and 2 Walmarts no longer sell anything. I might get lucky at my Mall's FYE, but last time I went there it was only the scam packs.
@Team APS: Larry did cheat, by activating a continous trap during damage step that cannot be activated during the damage step. and the judge, and the opponent let it played out, so the testing right their become invalid.
*Even though Walmart's Yu-Gi-Oh Power Cubes are trash and a scam, this was still a very fun duel challenge! Larry and Alec had a good time, at least! Soooo... Has anyone ever bought one of these and actually gotten one of the chase cards?* 👀
Not a scam of u had fun using them. But if u expect to get a money card then yes it's a scam lol
These two need more duels!!! All yall need more duels bring back tournament duels!!!
@@skip7049 i agree. Older format tournament duels be nice. Or random decks for them be nice
Never pulled anything of value out of these other than the container itself for card storage
I’ve never seen those power cubes at Walmart or the mystery boxes I guess good for me lol
Fun fact elementsabers can be used for chaos decks, since you can change them to light or dark, so he can in fact summon bls.
@Team_APS
Look a scam bot account
he also had knighmare gryphon
I was gonna say the same thing lol
He would have known if he had played Master Duel solo mode
Facts I said the same thing when they said his effects
I can't believe Alec called the elementsaber monster useless. It's effect while in the GY is useful for his deck. All he need is that dark monster and the elementsaber monster and he can summon BLS. All he have to do is change the elementsaber to be a light monster and boom he has BLS on the field lol. He should know that every card has its value.
😂😂😂
I played element sabers they are fantastic when they pop off the problem is they are just too slow for the modern day pacing of the game.
@@maxwellheenan458 They were too slow for the set they were printed in.
There are no pathetic cards in [my world]
My Grandpa’s deck has no pathetic cards, Kaiba!
How did Alec... no, scratch that... How did NO-ONE at the table realize that you could convert that Elementsaber to light attribute in the graveyard and banish it to summon BLS? You had a whole conversation about what it does!
To be fair, it was never in the grave with a Dark monster.
@@thekey0123 it could have been if they had him start with it in his opening hand in the last game instead of artificially adding sacred crane
I love that from a perspective standpoint, you think you are getting a whole cube of cards with the pictures being interesting(if you don’t read the cube). Then you open the cube revealing it’s basically a bag of chips with it being mostly air lol
At least with chips there is a reason for the air.
Chips have more use, and are cheaper lol.
I'd love to see a video where two APS members build decks from random bulk and two other members have to duel with them without previous knowledge of what cards are in it.

This idea is great
This!
"Oh, my Spanish is not what it used to be..."
Brother you can say that again, considering those cards were in Portuguese! 😂😂
Larry and Alec are so damn funny when they play each other.
Larry asking, "Do you want me to rub your back?" had me dying! LOLOL
Haven't finished the vid yet, but Alec could use the Elementsaber to become light, and then summon BLS or Chaos Sorcerer
Doesn't look like the thought crossed their minds since they added a light monster for Alec. Not that it matter given how bad the decks were lol
Larry was in a goofy mood and it made the duel hilarious
some cards are in Portuguese, attack of two edges, "dois" not "dios", "dois" means two, which in general means "attack of two edges" but the original name is Two-Pronged Attack
THIS WAS torture! I've played Yuigioh in a lot of ways and have always found a way to have fun... until this product 😡😡
Wait you have your own channel?
@@rawrdino7046 not really I just use it to reply to comments 😁
You guys have to do another challenge lol. My local dollar general sells Yu-Gi-Oh cards. You guys should see if yours has some.
Same except for my family dollar selling 19 English cards, 1 Spanish, and 1rare and usually has a somewhat strategy
Alec: when he draws a card he can't even use in his deck
"what is this sorcery?"
By the way guys, it's not spanish, is portuguese! "Dois" (not Dios) means "2" hahaha you guys almost got it! Love your videos! Cheers from Brazil!
This was a super fun video! I loved the buttoned-down aspect of the last battle especially. The camaraderie between Alec and Larry was hysterical.
13:58 Was the funniest sequence. The shock and confusion got me rolling.
so at the 8:00 mark alec says that elementsaber monster is useless. if he wanted to summon bls or chaos sorc, he can change the elementsaber monster to light, get a dark in the gy..then voila! so its not that useless
At 8:25 It was dois and not Dios. Looks like a portuguese pack so correct translation was Double Edge attack.
My boy Paul bringing us the content all Yu-Gi-Oh players want to see
It's so cute to see them not understanding any Portuguese! I genuinely lost my breath from laughing so hard when they read "dois gumes", which means double edged and understood "god".
Dois = Two / double in that case.
Gumes = Edged, like a sword.
Realmente
So the Two-Pronged Attack was in Portuguese. It actually says "Dois" not "Dios", which means "two" as you'd expect :P
Larry edited in red for 3 seconds was the highlight of this video 🤣

Larry shrugging his shoulders while staring down Alec killed me 😆

Paul laughing in the BG is the best
5:35 - personally, I use them for my Commander decks. I tend to get the nicest version of my commander that I can, so I put the sleeved copy in a hard sleeve as an added bit of protection (and an easy divider in my long box of Commander decks).
I loved watching Larry opening this mystery box, reaction was so funny 😂
6:15 Larry’s face when dealing punishment
I remember a cube that had a deck in it, but it was from Target. Right know they have a Walmart version for about $30 online. But Paul read the box it will tell you if it has a deck or not.
I felt Alec’s rage through the screen and the empathy I feel is unmatched.

I was going through some old videos and didn't realize how much weight Alec has lost congratulations bro
From what I'm seeing I think he gained the weight during covid.
Understandable.
My dude, you are thinking of Chris, his twin
@@GaybrohamStinkton my dude reading isnt hard. they usually have their names somewhere in the video. plus, alec and his twin were in the "yu-gi-oh in real life" video together.
@@GaybrohamStinkton also, my dude. his name is Alex. Its Alex and Alec. My dude
Ultra Instinct theme at 20:00
Well played 😂
I love how Alec went from PLEASE NO to Hmm okay might be fun to PLEASE END ME real quick
These are always my favorite types of videos, love em! Keep it up, guys!
actually enjoyed this vid heavily lol was laughing the whole time, despite their suffering ! thank you aps
I just imagine someone being late for their flight and forgetting their bag with their deck and having to go to Walmart to grab one of these before the tournament tomorrow and pray they can throw something together that doesn’t make them look stupid in front of everyone…now that I think about it, I can bet that happened.
This reminds me of the first magic deck I was ever handed to play. Not a single card was playable.
Even with the blur I know that card's Black Luster Soldier Envoy of the Beginning.
5:37 & 6:14 are the best parts of the video! 😄
0:05 Alec ain’t wit the bullshit 🤣🤣🤣
At 5:38, is that one of the guys they got into dueling like a year or more ago? They showed him and someone else how to duel and I remember seeing a while ago that one of them actually got into it. Looks like him
When Larry take that Black Hole in PT I just laugh so hard and thinking why the hell an north american Wallmart has cards in other languages. That aside, I felt very represented with these PT-BR cards, great video!
3:09 legit annoyance/anger 😂
Maybe, next time, just make this a punishment game for Alec. He really hates these wal-mart boxes.
NGL the Alec rant at the end made my Day. Pls, you guys have to do it again.
The whole video was funny af.
Kinda wish there was some music in the background for this one but the disappointment in Larry and Alec is always enjoyable
Larry was thinking about the mystery boxes rather than the power cubes. Those do actually sometimes have valuable booster packs and/or structure decks in them.
The power cubes normally have packs as well. No idea why these didn't.
"Norden? I remember when that card was good." You mean literally still broken today and is probably never leaving the banlist until instant fusion is on there?
Waa thinking the exact same thing. I was like, isn't that card broken? Like a good number of the Entity cards are?
This would be kind of cool if you bought one of these cubes, and then went to a LCS and see if you could build a deck with their bulk using the mystery cube as the core.
If I'm not mistaken, Alec couldn't use the Chaos Sorcerer's effect because he was special summoned on the field while knightmare gryphon was on the field, and griffin says that you can't activate the effect of special summoned monsters unless they are linked.
Anytime I see Interdimensional Matter Transporter I always think of this kid in my class who refused to actually read card names and always called it International Meteor Transformer.
If these cubes came with a random structure deck that would honestly be really cool. I remember buying one of these and I got a damaged card instead
20:30
If you had activated Gatchiri @Ignister effect when you summoned Knightmare Gryphon, you could have made Gryphon unaffected by the opponent cards on the next turn, avoiding the Dark Hole
Mystery boxes through the bulk in the box and charge the customers 20 25 dollars for them
None of these (with only singles) are more than 15. Anything as expensive as you're saying has a deck and/or packs.
I know where these specific cubes they use come from and if you were to buy the cubes alone direct from the manufacturer, you'd be paying 15 each by the way (with the lowest shipping tier being 50 dollars).

That moment with Larry and the music is a solid 10/10.
The dynamic duo! Love their chemistry! ❤
Alec could use the Elementsaber to change its attribute in grave to be his only other light monster than BLS XD
I like how you guys allow "redos". Other duelists I watch would totally be jerks and not let unintentional mistakes be fixed.
Robbin Zombie technically shouldn't have had its effect resolve, but you allowed it to anyway.
Doing these gestures definitely makes your duels feel like they have more heart.
The ending, lmao.
We will get you MJ Holdings employee!
Paul is right with how Robbin Goblin works, because its not a counter trap. Spell Speed 101
…y’all should do a cube progression series where they keep adding to a pool until they have something playable
I really love these duels. Sure, metta and archetypes are consistent but I love the creativity behind these random cards that you know will be bad. These, the ebay duels, the wamlart duels. All so great as well as the fake card duels. 10/10 for fun and creativity
Larry went yusei mode n utilized the cards he had for the first 2 rounds :) the holiday mystery box guaranteed deck, better luck next time guys :)
@Real_TeamAPS1 your very welcome! Love watching u guys, got me back into yugioh a few years back n cant stop collecting structure decks lol
Good job on this both of you guys! Pretty weird duel but we take those!
Naw naw put that thing back over there" JUDGGGEE" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
this should have been a variation of larry in the hole just to see how good larry does financially and see the hopelessness in his face 😊
I mean, I could just watch that one scene from Dark Knight where the joke lights a pile of money on fire for the same effect.
Love your content guys! always making my day when I watch your videos, keep up the amazing work 🤙🏻
6:44 Larry was gonna say super hemorrhoid
I bought a bigger box of those that bring about 100 cards from Walmart. It is a lot better then those you guys got.
The plastic container itself is the most valuable thing from these cubes. True story. I am surprised they can get away with this level of false advertisement lol
Watched this while nursing a cold/flu. These games felt like a fever dream.
Love the cheeky Ridge wallet drop on the left of screen
I can’t believe that all three of them (possible 4 for whoever was in the background) missed the attribute change card in Alec’s deck.
He could've used the element monster to change it to light 😅 and then he could summon bls or chaos
I feel like this might have been a bit more interesting/playable if each of you got 3x to work with and compared it to the structure decks of the last year or two.
If these things weren't way overpriced, it might be amusing.
One of my local game stores has a 100 card box for 9 bucks.
@@vxicepickxv If the box had 100, they wouldn’t need 3x. But I get what you’re trying to say anyway.
I wish my Walmart would have Power Cubes... Nowhere in my area sells Yugioh cards anymore. My Books-a-Million, Target, 2 Gamestops, and 2 Walmarts no longer sell anything. I might get lucky at my Mall's FYE, but last time I went there it was only the scam packs.
6:16 I need this as a gif 🤣
The cards popping up on screen was a nice touch guys
"I don't have a light" even though you have a card whose effect is to change its attribute when in the graveyard
where did that sacred crane come from if i may ask? he even didnt mention it anymore at the end talking about how small his monsters were smh
My favorite kind of jank lol I'm surprised yall even got viable link monsters
Thanks always for the uploads team APS!
Out of all the Spanish cards blanko Necro is one of the funniest translations
i don't know how konami is letting this through
@Team APS: Larry did cheat, by activating a continous trap during damage step that cannot be activated during the damage step. and the judge, and the opponent let it played out, so the testing right their become invalid.
The toploaders are there to take up the space and keep the cards from moving around and letting you see what's inside
Can we see nodrics get some love? Just built a nordic deck and it would be cool to see you guys have a duel with them!
I love Larry so much, such a funny fellow
5:04 everything was fine until he read that
That odd eyes is beautiful!! I've gotten some cool packs in those cubes in the packs
How often do you guys do live streams on here? I'd love to catch the next one! Great content keep up the good work!!
I haven't finished the video yet, but some cards were written in portuguese, not spanish.
Super Mario Galaxy music at the beginning though? Nice.
truly tho Alec’s rage through the screen and the empathy I feel is unmatched.
Copy+paste unmatched
So good to see Larry again. Also what the HECK was with those random Spanish cards? At least, I think they're Spanish.
What are those lights that you guys have at the base of the stand?
Elementsaber gets called useless, but if nothing else it's a Light or Dark in the GY.
