I actually find meta ygo more interesting because a lot of meta decks are more mechanically complex. Yeah, I get the floaty aspect of most meta decks, but that's not what makes me want to play them. It's what made me want to play zoo, and it's what made me want to play kaijus. I still play graydle-kaijus even now, because it's still fun for me.
"Teach it to your mom." Well you know what? I did, and now she beats me in it. Be careful who you drag into the community, they just might be better than you.
Detective Dragon001 I accidentally used the Seal of Orichalcos on my ex. We didn’t break up, she just sorta disappeared into this giant flash of light after our first game together ended..
some of the other annoying stereotypes include --------------------------------- -girls dont play yugioh -yugioh is for kids -not having deck boxes or mats makes u a bad player -a meta deck meaning theyll never lose -the idea that nobody still plays yugioh -nobody likes the current anime -the game encourages you to steal cards from stores -deciding someone isnt a real player if they dont have a trade binder
For the lack of deck box/sleeves/ mat, I don't think it makes you a bad player, although I may suggest that person to invest in them to protect their cards from scratching and foreign debris like Cheetos dust and saliva clumping on them, especially at a higher level event.
Look dude if your deck is more damaged than a battle axe in 1347 and you use a rubber band something telling me you aren't that good of a player unless you just did this for lolz
Lie 11. The heart of the cards isn't real. Once I was about to loose a duel. Had no cards in my hand, but I trusted my deck, and drew Marshmallon. It bought me enough time to draw the cards I needed to win the duel.
I think the "yugioh is dying" meme has to do with the fact that pokemon has raped the shelves of nearly every store, and any other stores focus on magic. I can walk into a target and pikachu is basically flashing me. Meanwhile, I just want to get a beaver warrior
It's really not people have finally realized that it's better to be a nerd and knowledgeable about something then a fucking idiot. And with just how much can be done once someone embraces that title with pride.
I like to separate nerd from geek or dork. The label "nerd" speaks to someone's knowledge and/or intelligence, while the latter two usually implied that someone is on the fringe, a bit anti-social... Being called a nerd is a badge of honor imo
I think yugioh is quite difficult in terms of game rules. I'm a game designer, and it is legitimately one of the most messy rulesets Ive ever seen. I still have to stop, and mentally map a chain, and reread cards repeatedly to make sure everything is going correctly. It's not unlearnable though, and it's not even intimidating because the rules let you play along anyway (technically you're cheating) but as you get more obsessed/into the game, you learn the intricacies. I think the true difficulty of Yugioh (and the one im still struggling with) is that you need to know your opponents deck intricately to have any hope of negging the correct card to shut them down (or whatever).
Yugioh has so many rules because the rules are literally make to be broken, that’s where all the cards come in, allowing you to break the rules within the rules
Ok so the game is a box and all the rules are like more walls inside the box that only the cards can let you pass through more inner walls the more options and the more cards and the whole game is more specialized and personal and unpredictable and diverse, that’s where al lithe fun comes from; literally anything could happen
The rule set isn’t complex really. Not a yugioh fanboy btw just got into the game about a month or two ago and it’s took about 3 days to learn everything in the core rulebook. Avoid summons that seem too crunchy for you like link and pendulum summons. Understanding the rest of the game is very simple. The cards have a bit too much text - I’ll give you that - but those aren’t “rules” in my opinion. The rules are simple and the card effects are complex. But they are all clear, well laid out, and versatile.
Dude no one care about this joke anymore. Trying to be cool by saying some old shit. You ain't cool. You wanna be cool? Come up with your own yugioh shit
brooo you can't do this video and not mention people who don't shower, don't wash their hands and want to "look" at your cards, people who bend your cards during a duel because they wan to read a text.
I find everything said in this video so true. The lie about when people say that Yu-Gi-Oh! is dead and that it's for nerds really annoys me because it's obvious in the world that YGO is having an increasing fandom even if it isn't that clear. I'm a 15 year old girl from Saudi Arabia and I love YGO. I was the only one in my entire school who knew about it and played it. Sadly, that meant I had nobody to play with even though I just kept buying booster packs for myself. I eventually went to an IGN Convention in Bahrain in 2016 and I was able to participate in the small tournament there. I was surprised with when I saw many people other than normal boys playing. For God's sake, I saw a pregnant woman sitting down on a chair and was dueling her husband. My point is that people really shouldn't think that it's dying or everyone is a nerd.
You could play on yugioh duel nexus, who knows you might just run into me, I also have a group of duel nexus duelist friends on discord you’d be welcome in if you ever find yourself without competition
My favorite decks are HERO/Neo Spacians, and with a few exceptions of links to counter meta, they are pretty much only fusions, so its cool because many don't even use polymerization.
creativity is a blast in yugioh, my favorite moment while playing pendulum magicians at YCS dallas was as a side deck option was put kuraz the light monarch to counter anti spell fragrance. going against dark magician deck i pendulum summoned him and targeted my scales, the look on my opponents face was worth it, it completely caught them off guard.sure it got solemn striked but it was still a fun attempt. its just fun the little things you can do in decks
Lol yes the look on their face, but even better when they activate their face down sending a card to grave or banished or whatever and it turns out that that was the very thing you were counting on to finish them
It’s easy to think that Yu-Gi-Oh! Is no skill and just repeating combos if you’ve never played. They forget that their is another player who is responding to what you do.
#11 you are too old to play yugioh #12 the more expensive your cards are the more likely you will win the duel #13 No one trades in yugioh anymore, it is a trading card game but most people just buy everything online
the trading part has a small dose of truth,people care more about the collective value of the cards on e-bay rather than how usefull the card really is. it kinda sucks,they take a bunch of my cards that they don't even plan to use. collectors suck.
Still waiting on the “differences between twins” video. I’ve been around long enough to tell the difference between them now, but it’ll be great for others.
And phantom knights, and abyss sphere. The thing is, the basic of yugioh are still there, they just added more/different levels of interaction. These additions provide more challenge and chances of victory for the tactician willing to adapt.
When you don't realize that Trap Monsters were technically already a thing since the first series. *looks at Embodiment of Apophis and Machine King 3000 B.C.*
My friend always says, "Yugioh was better in *whatever gen of yugioh*." I like 2nd gen but I actually can look back and say I like a little of every other gen
I don't know if Yu-Gi-Oh is increasing or decreasing, but over-vamping production can also be a tactic if sales are decreasing, because it makes cards prices lower and it gives more access to them. More people would be willing to play if there's more options for them to make easier decks (possibly meta, like Pen. Mags. a while back) for an easy price. They may not have every single meta card in it, like Ash Blossom, but they're far more likely be able to make a good staple portion of the meta deck, then add cheaper substitutes.
My group of friends back in college ranged between a whole spectrum of nerdy/normy. I was the typical social awkward, one was a stoner frat, one being a history buff, one being a US Marine, and the last one being the typical nerd and all of us played Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, MTG, Warhammer, and D&D
1 - it's not a lie, plus in 2 years your 200$ deck is worth .5$ 3 - true 4 - only archetypes are viable, good luck with creativity in that 5 card flex spot 7 - KEKW, no normies will play TCG's, only NEETs have time to read 5k cards 8 ^ 10 - i'd wish, so that konami would sell the game to someone else
In high school my friend was on the wrestling team, the swim team, and had like 4 AP classes. He was legit one of the best yugioh players at my high school.
Links are probably the only thing needed in today’s format to unlock more extra deck spaces. Yet again, you can either not play with extra decks or just play one extra monster at a time and not use links.
Here's how to learn to play Yu-Gi-Oh Explain the main deck mechanics first IE: normal effect spell trap ritual Then slowly learn about each extra deck mechanic and how they interact with the main deck
.... brilliant deduction, lol every game in existence is all about action reaction, the universe itself is all action reaction, the universe is chained to the Big Bang and even father back in time, to when God tipped that one domino just so to make the world how it is
ESAM of Smash bros plays yugioh, and the smash commentator EE played Tellarknight at an ARG and commentated at another, but those are online celebs i suppose
I feel you guys on the nerd thing. I'm a blue belt in jiu jitsu, pancrase, and I train mma and when I'm not choking someone out or getting punched in the face, I love playing yugioh :)
The first one isnt a lie tho. Just because you can get a cheap structure deck or create a $5 deck by buying 40 cards that cost a few cents each, doesnt change the fact that you need a pretty pricy deck to even compete with actual good players. A cheap deck won't win that many matches even if we're just talking about casual games. Most people wont be satisfied with playing with the bare minimum. They will want to improve and duel more powerful opponents. In order to do that, they'll have to buy cards that are more expensive,. It shouldn't be like this, there are so many card games out here that are cheaper than yugioh. Even the OCG's cards are cheaper than the TCG's cards. The only reason why yugioh is more expensive in the west is because of short printing and rarity bumps.
Sorry, but I kinda have to disagree with the 1st "lie". While yes, you do not "need" to buy stuff like Ash Blossom to play a game of Yugioh, it is HEAVILY recommended that you should. I go to a locals every other weekend with a friend. I play Vendreads (it's kinda pricey, but not too bad) vs. my friend who plays Odd-Eyes/Magicians (Needless to say it was a tad bit more expensive to build). Nevertheless, he has more of a shot of winning because he had more money to start off with in this game than I did despite me playing this game for much longer and possessing more knowledge about the game. My point is that certain builds you as a player create can ultimately change the flow of the game. But what you put in those decks is was really matters. A $400-$700 deck will usually be better than a $100-$200 deck, unless that deck can be able to counter that "Meta" deck through an weird and obscure way of doing so, or just happens to just be the better deck overall. Money DOES in fact play a huge roll in this game; and if you want to win in some of these events big or small, you have to dish out loads of money in order to stand a chance in any format. I love Yu-Gi-Oh as it's own card game and as a series on T.V. I will always be a die-hard fan of it. I just don't want this game to just be a cash grab where the most rich player wins by default.
Megacharge Z Honestly, money is a deciding factor in everything, so I do agree with you to an extent. Although I can assure you my Blue-Eyes deck is capable of winning against most (not all) things, and it's between $75-175 Dollars (mostly because I budgeted).
@@nodupes2129 Net Decking Is A Plauge! Play around and learn for yourself! Stop trying to coast to the top on someone else's Experience and Hard Work!!!! Its not fair than someone can take Months Tweaking,and Playtesting,ONLY TOO BE Beaten by a carbon copy of MY deck. Your Deck IS YOURS TO MAKE. So Why Make a deck That someone else Uses????
I think that some of these "lies" are more dependent on the area that you're in. Like when it comes to toxicity, there are quite a lot of toxic people in the Northeast area of the country, I went to YCS in Rhode Island and holy crap players there were so rude.
Here's one I have heard in the past couple years. Traps/Vanillas/Rituals/etc. are useless. Not true. Each set of cards has an environment they work best with. Basically, a card can be useless if you don't combo or use it right. Even "battle traps." Granted, they aren't always going to be successful, but they do still see competitive play from time to time. The fact is, anyone can play a card, but knowing how to use it in the desired situation takes real skill.
I dunno about the Quilphort decks. I have an Odd-eyes/Magician deck and it's beat out 3 Quilphort decks so far. On another note there's no flow chart/set strategy for playing. I've been backed into a corner and came up with a on the fly strategy with the cards in my hand and on the field that got me back in the duel.
Hey fellas need you guys help regarding a ruling with Queen Dragun Dijinn effect working with Tyrant dragon. Queen Dragun effect states that by detaching an xyz material you can special summon a level 5 or higher dragon from the graveyard. The special summon dragon can’t attack and it’s effects are negated but with Tyrant dragon being special summoned from the graveyard it requires a dragon to be sacrificed too so if you guys could help me out regarding the ruling I’d appreciate it or point me in the right direction so i can look it up myself thanks 🙏🏾
I think it’s a good thing to be a nerd. My friends and I are weight lifters, I was in the army, I have a firefighter friend, someone else going to the fire academy and we all love yugioh, marvel, Star Wars, etc all the nerd stuff. We all got back into yugioh and it wasn’t hard to get into, just took some time to learn everything “new” that came after synchros for us
Funny thing is, most of my current D-Hero deck came from when I bought a Destiny Soldiers booster box for like...$50. The rest came from trading cards I didn't need from the box or from D-Hero cards I've had from since they first came out back in 2006.
MtG, like Yu-Gi-Oh!, is as expensive as you want it to be. One of my favorite and most consistent Modern-legal decks is way cheaper than decks I regularly beat. That said, Vintage and Legacy can get pricy. Commander too. But so can Yu-Gi-Oh!, and that's just the truth.
yugioh is expensive to make a decent deck ,especially for people without a lot of money(like kids)and nearly all the good or necessary cards now are like rare or higher with most commons being just janky specific use cards, and when you add the fact that the good cards of any archtype are usually spread out over like 3 sets it makes it really unfriendly to new players, especially when this game is supposed to be children's card game(children don't usually get a lot of money too obviously) the only thing that has been a redeeming quality for making a decent deck now is the better structure decks they are releasing which actually can put up some competition to what the game has become, who can get the otk.
Debunked the first "lie" if you want to play remotely competitively you ARE forced to pay for expensive cards here and there, some being ridiculous like Ash and recently it was a must to play or side 2-3 which is 140$ at least
Not to mention if you get more involved into the game it becomes addictive to make more than just a deck or two because there's so many and eventually you're bound to stumble across some pricey cards
Three things I want to add to. 1 what tcg is cheap and popular. 2 the internet is toxic and usually no matter what subject you are talking about you find all the toxic people are the loudest. And finally 3 if only needs play then how come me a guy who is possibly about to represent my country at the next lacrosse world cup playing?
i don't really agree with several of these. -yes you can technically make any deck you want,but good luck winning with it. so if you re not playing with a friend there is practically no reason for you to be creative because the game is broken as fuck. try make an old school deck without a shitload of special summons and monsters that actually fight and good luck winning with it.you will be crushed by anyone. -as about the summoning part,you are technically right,but the problem has less to do with what kinds of special summons you do and more to do with how many you need to do.if you don't special summon at least 1 monster per turn you are fucked. -as about the unbreakable walls and the out to kill decks,they kinda exist,i have been in several instances where the match ended in like 2-5 turns and i could barely defend my self,and several instances where my enemies had a shittone of cards that didn't let me play anything,and even when i did manage to play anything they destroyed it in 1-2 turns. i am not saying that the old-school yugioh was perfect,but it was nowhere near as broken as the modern.
I made my own deck and I’d be happy to show you how easy it is to win with your own deck, you just got to grow your deck, build it test it fail fix you’ll learn its strengths and weaknesses and you’ll both learn to trust each other and you’ll learn how to work with it best and you’ll build your own skills as much as your deck and they will be your strategies so you’ll know them best, only negative is it takes time, grow it on duel nexus online and it’s free too, and there is always reason to be creative, if someone else designed your deck and someone else designed its tactics then who really earned your victory? You or them? But if you put all the effort in yourself then the win belongs to you and you alone and is a testament to your skills
@@daenor7807 yeah suuuuuuure,try play on a tournament with a beatdown deck and then come back and tell me that fairy tale with straight face.a real tournament,not one with your friends. the beatdown decks are fucking dead,the equip cards are dead and even the traps cards are barely used any more.where do you see the creativity? what are you gonna do?make a burn deck?an exodia deck?a mill deck?nobody uses these strategies anymore(i am not entirely sure about exodia,but even if he is used no way he is usefull in competitive.) the biggest problem with yugioh is that almost every deck i play against has monsters that destroy your cards in the very same turn they are summoned. having one or two of these things is not bad,but filling your entire deck with destruction cards is just a dick move. marshmallon is an almost worthless defence nowadays,you get lucky if you somehow manage to hide behind him for more than one turn. i can't both be creative and try not to get killed by these broken decks at the same time,it is either one or the other. also i haven't purchased new cards in years and i will be crushed with the ones i have got now meaning that i have got to spent around 60-100 euros maybe more just to have a chance to win let alone have fun. i am playing eternal and krosmaga now and i don't feel like going back to yugioh. (one of them is a better magic the gathering the other is a hybrid between hearthstone and tower defence games)
I feel like one lie is that only certain decks can win. I mean, I understand that some decks are stronger than others, but even the weakest decks have beaten the tier 0s at some point. It's just a matter of how you play
I hate the whole '"that deck takes no skill" argument. Its bullshit. Like with spyral. I played it way before now and loved it as a rougue deck. It becomes meta and everyone and there mother says "it takes no skill" "you meta sheep" "i hate spyrals because they break the game" NIGGA
Brother Bear I feel ya man. Even just watching the deck from the outside, there are so many places in the combos you could mess up. I feel like the higher a deck gets in tier, the more skill it needs
The game is so complex! I’d like to apply my opinion to this one. Yes, the game is easy to pick up if you start them off with all of the simpler mechanics, but as someone who’s taught two people how to play, the different type of effect monsters like gemini, all that. Chains as well, and trying to learn all of the extra deck cards and differences. Yes, THOSE are complicated. Easy to learn, hard to master is an okay way to sum it up, but in reality its simple to know the basics, but the inner subtexts of mechanics are what make it complicated for new players. So simple to learn, hard to master isn’t exactly what I would consider accurate. That said, love your content team APS. Have a good day lol.
Meta decks were indeed a grand, like in January. Or Lightsworn with Minerva before the reprint, we even had the unfortunate armed robbery event of a guy simply because he had a Minerva in his deck.

I hate the stereotype of nerds playing card games. I've met pretty much every type of person through Yu-Gi-Oh.
Because people don't think thinking of complex strategies is cool even tho that's what got well known as anyone doing any hobby

I had a friend that quit when pendulums came &he said there would be monster traps that came out after that so he quit and gave me over 4000 cards
Well, he wasn't wrong (looks at paleozoic)
And phantom knights, and abyss sphere. The thing is, the basic of yugioh are still there, they just added more/different levels of interaction. These additions provide more challenge and chances of victory for the tactician willing to adapt.
When you don't realize that Trap Monsters were technically already a thing since the first series. *looks at Embodiment of Apophis and Machine King 3000 B.C.*
@@FSKyurem Im still shocked that no one using moster traps making tribute summoning smooth and excellent fodder for enemy controllers 2nd effect
That’s twice as many cards as I have
What lies have you been told about Yu-Gi-Oh?
"You don't need 3 Ash Blossoms."
@Eric Gaiser those people talk bullshit
The lie I was told was you need to play the meta to win.
it's not about hard it is to learn, it's about how good the person teaching you is
NOTIFICATION SQUAD ON THE LATE NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!
My friend always says, "Yugioh was better in *whatever gen of yugioh*." I like 2nd gen but I actually can look back and say I like a little of every other gen
I don't know if Yu-Gi-Oh is increasing or decreasing, but over-vamping production can also be a tactic if sales are decreasing, because it makes cards prices lower and it gives more access to them. More people would be willing to play if there's more options for them to make easier decks (possibly meta, like Pen. Mags. a while back) for an easy price. They may not have every single meta card in it, like Ash Blossom, but they're far more likely be able to make a good staple portion of the meta deck, then add cheaper substitutes.
What up squad hit like for this awesome video. Thanks for everything you guys do
👊🏾
My group of friends back in college ranged between a whole spectrum of nerdy/normy. I was the typical social awkward, one was a stoner frat, one being a history buff, one being a US Marine, and the last one being the typical nerd and all of us played Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, MTG, Warhammer, and D&D
Three years ago: “Competitive Yugioh doesn’t have to be expensive!”
Hand traps & Imperm: exists now.
1 - it's not a lie, plus in 2 years your 200$ deck is worth .5$
3 - true
4 - only archetypes are viable, good luck with creativity in that 5 card flex spot
7 - KEKW, no normies will play TCG's, only NEETs have time to read 5k cards
8 ^
10 - i'd wish, so that konami would sell the game to someone else
In high school my friend was on the wrestling team, the swim team, and had like 4 AP classes. He was legit one of the best yugioh players at my high school.
Links are probably the only thing needed in today’s format to unlock more extra deck spaces. Yet again, you can either not play with extra decks or just play one extra monster at a time and not use links.
Here's how to learn to play Yu-Gi-Oh
Explain the main deck mechanics first
IE: normal effect spell trap ritual
Then slowly learn about each extra deck mechanic and how they interact with the main deck
There is someone on the YGO amino who is always making fun of everyone's decks.
Ah. There's someone similar in the Duel Links community. I suggest you to be careful of them.
One lie is that Blue Eyes is just a dumb beatstick deck. *Glances at Davinator1212 judging his opinion*
I thought I was the only yugioh player in my school...
I was wrong, there is one other player and 100 Pokémon players
Wow lie 3 where they say it’s not a one turn game.... must have hurt them when danger dark world came into existence (I know this is an old video😂)
Yu-Gi-Oh is a game about reaction more that anything. You react to you opponents plays and to how your own plays work out
.... brilliant deduction, lol every game in existence is all about action reaction, the universe itself is all action reaction, the universe is chained to the Big Bang and even father back in time, to when God tipped that one domino just so to make the world how it is
12:14 "Well, I didn't draw this set of cards, I can't lose"
*cries in Garnet*
Wait, what celebrities play yugioh?!
that i know of, internet celebrities. Linkara is an example
The singer of the band that did the new Vrains ending used to play it as a teen
ESAM of Smash bros plays yugioh, and the smash commentator EE played Tellarknight at an ARG and commentated at another, but those are online celebs i suppose
A DJ names Slushii plays Yugioh
Team aps 2 years ago:aLMoSt GoOd liNk DeCk
2019: firewall ftk for the win
I feel you guys on the nerd thing. I'm a blue belt in jiu jitsu, pancrase, and I train mma and when I'm not choking someone out or getting punched in the face, I love playing yugioh :)
I recently got into yugioh but when I was younger I hated the show for some reason but now I love the show and game
The first one isnt a lie tho. Just because you can get a cheap structure deck or create a $5 deck by buying 40 cards that cost a few cents each, doesnt change the fact that you need a pretty pricy deck to even compete with actual good players. A cheap deck won't win that many matches even if we're just talking about casual games. Most people wont be satisfied with playing with the bare minimum. They will want to improve and duel more powerful opponents. In order to do that, they'll have to buy cards that are more expensive,. It shouldn't be like this, there are so many card games out here that are cheaper than yugioh. Even the OCG's cards are cheaper than the TCG's cards. The only reason why yugioh is more expensive in the west is because of short printing and rarity bumps.
AYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE LATE NIGHT SQUAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!
Sorry, but I kinda have to disagree with the 1st "lie".
While yes, you do not "need" to buy stuff like Ash Blossom to play a game of Yugioh, it is HEAVILY recommended that you should. I go to a locals every other weekend with a friend. I play Vendreads (it's kinda pricey, but not too bad) vs. my friend who plays Odd-Eyes/Magicians (Needless to say it was a tad bit more expensive to build). Nevertheless, he has more of a shot of winning because he had more money to start off with in this game than I did despite me playing this game for much longer and possessing more knowledge about the game.
My point is that certain builds you as a player create can ultimately change the flow of the game. But what you put in those decks is was really matters. A $400-$700 deck will usually be better than a $100-$200 deck, unless that deck can be able to counter that "Meta" deck through an weird and obscure way of doing so, or just happens to just be the better deck overall. Money DOES in fact play a huge roll in this game; and if you want to win in some of these events big or small, you have to dish out loads of money in order to stand a chance in any format.
I love Yu-Gi-Oh as it's own card game and as a series on T.V. I will always be a die-hard fan of it. I just don't want this game to just be a cash grab where the most rich player wins by default.
Megacharge Z Honestly, money is a deciding factor in everything, so I do agree with you to an extent.
Although I can assure you my Blue-Eyes deck is capable of winning against most (not all) things, and it's between $75-175 Dollars (mostly because I budgeted).
Pokémon Trainer Jacob
And that is one of my points. There are just decks who just have it better than others.
I got my invite with a deck that only had one card exceeding $20 in value
send me that blue eyes deck list real quick.
@@nodupes2129 Net Decking Is A Plauge! Play around and learn for yourself! Stop trying to coast to the top on someone else's Experience and Hard Work!!!! Its not fair than someone can take Months Tweaking,and Playtesting,ONLY TOO BE Beaten by a carbon copy of MY deck. Your Deck IS YOURS TO MAKE. So Why Make a deck That someone else Uses????
I think that some of these "lies" are more dependent on the area that you're in. Like when it comes to toxicity, there are quite a lot of toxic people in the Northeast area of the country, I went to YCS in Rhode Island and holy crap players there were so rude.
Bad time to say there's a strong unbreakable board deck now that Trigate Wizard is out. Those SPYRAL boards can get insane, even with the banlist.
11. Pot of Greed lets you draw 2 cards.
Grif VII finally, someone is asking the questions that truely matters.
You should make a skit on these and old rules we used to believe
Damn you guys are so fun, i would like to know all of you in person and have some fun talking about yugi and many other shitty games lmao
“What about the sonic community”
“They’re all awful”
OW, MAH LIFE POINTS
Here's one I have heard in the past couple years. Traps/Vanillas/Rituals/etc. are useless. Not true. Each set of cards has an environment they work best with. Basically, a card can be useless if you don't combo or use it right. Even "battle traps." Granted, they aren't always going to be successful, but they do still see competitive play from time to time. The fact is, anyone can play a card, but knowing how to use it in the desired situation takes real skill.
I never looked at my cards or played the game 2 years ago and I still remember all the rules
I dunno about the Quilphort decks. I have an Odd-eyes/Magician deck and it's beat out 3 Quilphort decks so far. On another note there's no flow chart/set strategy for playing. I've been backed into a corner and came up with a on the fly strategy with the cards in my hand and on the field that got me back in the duel.
Hey fellas need you guys help regarding a ruling with Queen Dragun Dijinn effect working with Tyrant dragon. Queen Dragun effect states that by detaching an xyz material you can special summon a level 5 or higher dragon from the graveyard. The special summon dragon can’t attack and it’s effects are negated but with Tyrant dragon being special summoned from the graveyard it requires a dragon to be sacrificed too so if you guys could help me out regarding the ruling I’d appreciate it or point me in the right direction so i can look it up myself thanks 🙏🏾
I think it’s a good thing to be a nerd. My friends and I are weight lifters, I was in the army, I have a firefighter friend, someone else going to the fire academy and we all love yugioh, marvel, Star Wars, etc all the nerd stuff. We all got back into yugioh and it wasn’t hard to get into, just took some time to learn everything “new” that came after synchros for us
One thing I always hear Christians saying is Yu-Gi-Oh is Witchcraft and it's bull
Its a Card Game, nothing wrong with that.
@@rashidhumine that's what I said but preachers can be stupid at times
I'm a Christian and I know that Yu-Gi-Oh is not witchcraft. I love TCGs
So silly these games end in 1 turn now.
Honestly probably my favorite yugitubers other than simplyunlucky definitely would be cool to see u guys collaborate
Thats a bad idea
Funny thing is, most of my current D-Hero deck came from when I bought a Destiny Soldiers booster box for like...$50. The rest came from trading cards I didn't need from the box or from D-Hero cards I've had from since they first came out back in 2006.
Fun random fact. I met my wife playing Yu-Gi-Oh online...
....... teach me your ways
People think yugiohs expensive? Better not tell them about Magic the gathering lol
My competitive RG Eldrazi deck costs less than a playset of Evenly Matched
@yugimoy Just one example.
I was talking about formats like vintage, legacy, and modern
MtG, like Yu-Gi-Oh!, is as expensive as you want it to be. One of my favorite and most consistent Modern-legal decks is way cheaper than decks I regularly beat. That said, Vintage and Legacy can get pricy. Commander too. But so can Yu-Gi-Oh!, and that's just the truth.
yugioh is expensive to make a decent deck ,especially for people without a lot of money(like kids)and nearly all the good or necessary cards now are like rare or higher with most commons being just janky specific use cards, and when you add the fact that the good cards of any archtype are usually spread out over like 3 sets it makes it really unfriendly to new players, especially when this game is supposed to be children's card game(children don't usually get a lot of money too obviously) the only thing that has been a redeeming quality for making a decent deck now is the better structure decks they are releasing which actually can put up some competition to what the game has become, who can get the otk.
Debunked the first "lie" if you want to play remotely competitively you ARE forced to pay for expensive cards here and there, some being ridiculous like Ash and recently it was a must to play or side 2-3 which is 140$ at least
Not to mention if you get more involved into the game it becomes addictive to make more than just a deck or two because there's so many and eventually you're bound to stumble across some pricey cards
Bireon
Play online for free.
I think the most stupid and annoying lie in Yugioh is when people say the game is for kids.
This video definitely felt 5 years old when they said there was “soon to be” good link decks.
Three things I want to add to. 1 what tcg is cheap and popular. 2 the internet is toxic and usually no matter what subject you are talking about you find all the toxic people are the loudest. And finally 3 if only needs play then how come me a guy who is possibly about to represent my country at the next lacrosse world cup playing?
The biggest lie is that this is a children's trading card game
ON MOTORCYCLES!
Yu-Gi-Oh! Is too slow. That is something I have heard before
Speaking of blowouts a 11000 exodus gets magic cylinder.. From a syncro fitting room deck
i don't really agree with several of these.
-yes you can technically make any deck you want,but good luck winning with it.
so if you re not playing with a friend there is practically no reason for you to be creative because the game is broken as fuck.
try make an old school deck without a shitload of special summons and monsters that actually fight and good luck winning with it.you will be crushed by anyone.
-as about the summoning part,you are technically right,but the problem has less to do with what kinds of special summons you do and more to do with how many you need to do.if you don't special summon at least 1 monster per turn you are fucked.
-as about the unbreakable walls and the out to kill decks,they kinda exist,i have been in several instances where the match ended in like 2-5 turns and i could barely defend my self,and several instances where my enemies had a shittone of cards that didn't let me play anything,and even when i did manage to play anything they destroyed it in 1-2 turns.
i am not saying that the old-school yugioh was perfect,but it was nowhere near as broken as the modern.
I made my own deck and I’d be happy to show you how easy it is to win with your own deck, you just got to grow your deck, build it test it fail fix you’ll learn its strengths and weaknesses and you’ll both learn to trust each other and you’ll learn how to work with it best and you’ll build your own skills as much as your deck and they will be your strategies so you’ll know them best, only negative is it takes time, grow it on duel nexus online and it’s free too, and there is always reason to be creative, if someone else designed your deck and someone else designed its tactics then who really earned your victory? You or them? But if you put all the effort in yourself then the win belongs to you and you alone and is a testament to your skills
@@daenor7807 yeah suuuuuuure,try play on a tournament with a beatdown deck and then come back and tell me that fairy tale with straight face.a real tournament,not one with your friends.
the beatdown decks are fucking dead,the equip cards are dead and even the traps cards are barely used any more.where do you see the creativity?
what are you gonna do?make a burn deck?an exodia deck?a mill deck?nobody uses these strategies anymore(i am not entirely sure about exodia,but even if he is used no way he is usefull in competitive.)
the biggest problem with yugioh is that almost every deck i play against has monsters that destroy your cards in the very same turn they are summoned.
having one or two of these things is not bad,but filling your entire deck with destruction cards is just a dick move.
marshmallon is an almost worthless defence nowadays,you get lucky if you somehow manage to hide behind him for more than one turn.
i can't both be creative and try not to get killed by these broken decks at the same time,it is either one or the other.
also i haven't purchased new cards in years and i will be crushed with the ones i have got now meaning that i have got to spent around 60-100 euros maybe more just to have a chance to win let alone have fun.
i am playing eternal and krosmaga now and i don't feel like going back to yugioh.
(one of them is a better magic the gathering the other is a hybrid between hearthstone and tower defence games)
Am I the only one who noticed the sick p5 music from the beginning
6:44 bruh I had a guy switch from magic to yugioh because he felt that the magic players were too mean
when you order 20 cards and its been more than a month and you are still waiting
+Ski Mask is the Goat You should contact the seller and let them know, especially if you have any tracking information.
A good duel is one that goes back and forth not one sided. I was able to beat quilphort with ninja, and tied with kozmo using a synchro turbo.
What if you play yugioh and is also a sonic fan? Btw i love this video, whoever says that yugioh is dead deserves a clown nose
2 years later, getting OTK by someone everyday 😂
I didn't know people played yu gi oh was still around till just a month ago when I saw people playing it
Could’ve also been titled ‘Differences in Mindsets Between Good & Bad Players”
Nice video, keep it up guys.
I feel like one lie is that only certain decks can win. I mean, I understand that some decks are stronger than others, but even the weakest decks have beaten the tier 0s at some point. It's just a matter of how you play
I hate the whole '"that deck takes no skill" argument. Its bullshit. Like with spyral. I played it way before now and loved it as a rougue deck. It becomes meta and everyone and there mother says "it takes no skill" "you meta sheep" "i hate spyrals because they break the game" NIGGA
Brother Bear I feel ya man. Even just watching the deck from the outside, there are so many places in the combos you could mess up. I feel like the higher a deck gets in tier, the more skill it needs
Eragon Williams i think i just like complicated decks. Except world chalice. I like complicated but not 20 minute turn complicated
Brother Bear I've yet to face a world chalice. But the more I hear about it, I'm probably gonna bring popcorn for their turn.
Eragon Williams popcorn? Make sure you bring an extra large soda. Cuz that first turn you are gonna be watching a movie
Brother Bear
They're always playing something dumb like chain burn or something too.
It’s expensive if you want to play competitively still. That’s the problem.
I mean, salamangreat is pretty cheap
I'm an athlete and a personal trainer at the Y and I play yugioh. My girl plays the game too lol. (to the Only Nerds Play Yugioh thing)
The game is so complex!
I’d like to apply my opinion to this one. Yes, the game is easy to pick up if you start them off with all of the simpler mechanics, but as someone who’s taught two people how to play, the different type of effect monsters like gemini, all that. Chains as well, and trying to learn all of the extra deck cards and differences. Yes, THOSE are complicated. Easy to learn, hard to master is an okay way to sum it up, but in reality its simple to know the basics, but the inner subtexts of mechanics are what make it complicated for new players. So simple to learn, hard to master isn’t exactly what I would consider accurate. That said, love your content team APS. Have a good day lol.
People think that I'm joking when I say I'm going to send them to the shadow room after the dual.
The shadow room? Sounds fun
you guys rock, keep it up!!!!!!
At locals, I still rock a modernized version of an Arcana Force deck for shits and giggles.
Does that make me a helmet player?
Arañas?! You must have Joey's legendary luck. Keep it up dude!
Naw he said we could attack it’s too late. Lmao great video!
How is the entire community toxic if these guys are in it
This game is only for in attractive ppl
yo the insight on the meta spot on way to put it into words
Meta decks were indeed a grand, like in January. Or Lightsworn with Minerva before the reprint, we even had the unfortunate armed robbery event of a guy simply because he had a Minerva in his deck.
O-o its a children's card game and people acting like this? God damn.
There is no such thing as a shadow realm? Bullocks!!
Had some friends in college that played the game, got me back in after 7 years. Made a blue eyes deck and beat them, we all had a fun time.
