Paul using swords of revealing light on the cusp of defeat to then use shadow goul to use the power of its fallen allies to destroy tri-horned dragon was an anime level comeback
Epic comeback!
💯
shadow ghoul was a card i was weirdly obsessed with as a kid and thought was way better than it actually is so im happy to see it actually not only get used, but basically win a duel for someone
@@aj4waffles nice
and the music makes it so much better aswell
Really dig the idea of upgrading your decks as you go along. That really raises the bar on how interesting this series is to follow
Decks Shawold douels
Same, it is the reason i decided to watch from episode 1 onwards once i realized while watching 6 they already had decks they’d been upgrading.
The madmen actually created a progression series using REAL cards. The dedication, you love to see it
Im loving it cause they have the perfect mix of chill and energy. Other progression series guys are too....energetic for me
@@blunk778 one of them is really bad at deck building too lol
@@WesleyParksTTV not just one, a series got cancelled cause one guy was so bad.
@@TheNewblade1 which series?
@@DarkSymphony777 you talking about Ruxin ? lol
This was incredible. The mirror force. The trap hole. The swords. The magician of faith. Shadow ghoul omg I felt like I was back in school watching/playing with a friend at lunch. Cannot wait to see this series continue 💜💜💜
Haunted Shift
Thax 120
Swords is so op lol. Without spell destruction it just provides so much advantage
*THE RARE HUNT CONTINUES!* 😈 This week, we're playing with cards from Metal Raiders and wagering the best ones on a Duel! It's still a work in progress, but we tried to take a couple of popular viewer suggestions! Let us know what you think of the series so far and any changes or improvements we can make! Next week: Magic Ruler!
You guys actually did what I wanted to suggest, using cards from your previous decks.
I hope to see more
I vote we call Paul …. Stallin Paul you know because of swords of reveling light
dont put pull in thumbnail
and do pulls seperately for tension
Paul pulling himself off the ropes with that Pot of Greed into Swords play was something straight out of the Anime! Great, tense duel and I love the idea of the continuous deck upgrades making the ante cards matter.
Alec openly drawing Trap Hole then setting Mirror Force was a big brain move.
yes. i am still amazed how simple yet effective that was.
That bait move was insane. U can see paul wtf face lmao
Amazing mind games
Galaxy Brain 8000 IQ plays
Sheesh, that foiling on the ultra Mirror Force looks amazing. Older prints of cards just pop really well.
Because they aren't overdesigned.
@@GuiItyUniverse actually the inks and foiling application used are both just different
@@Marcusjnmc I meant the artwork isn't overdesigned. It doesn't clash with the foil.
@@GuiItyUniverse +[ChaoticMeatball] said older prints, not older cards. Which means the design should be pretty much the same.
Not to sound like I'm trashing on what the game has become in recent years...
But this duel alone has had me more hype for real life Yu-Gi-Oh than any recent expansion or tournament. You guys really made it feel suspenseful, and this concept made me wish I could do this, too.
Keep it up.
yup, the game couldve gone in many different directions and instead of deepening the game it just escalated.
Yeah!
I mean I'm strengthening my deck my strongest is Supreme King Odd Eyes
My brother is too strong he has Supreme King Odd Eyes, Supreme King Venom Fury and Supreme King Clear Wing!
@@Neo-io9rn I have been bolstering the same Phantom Knights deck since I gt it in the "Legendary Hero Decks" box back in 2018
Yea I hate links and Pendulumn, and xyz, My time was DM,DSOD,GX,5DS. I stopped at synchros summons, this new yugioh stuff hurts my brain to much.
@@AdmiralHellShot XYZ is easier than Synchro 😭
Paul’s OH BABY on that Summoned Skull Pull! Next time we need a KAIBA!!
Oh my god. Is SimplyUnlucky!
Hello there bro.
Technically Alec’s shield and sword would not have worked considering it only swaps the Original attack and defence of each monster meaning shadow ghoul have have had 1300 + 100 for each monster in the grave but that’s ok since it didn’t change the outcome of the duel!
It could have changed the outcome though.
I know they are fun duels but it kinda sucks when a misplay can change things up.
glad othersd saw this too
@@lordvika2526 I mean same thing happens in the show.
@@lordvika2526 How would it have changed anything? Sure Shadow ghoul would've survived but that just means paul would've won earlier
I came here just to say this too, but besides all that, I really enjoy this new series of theirs
This definitely needs to be a whole arc with the entire aps team getting their own start within the same generation and then possibly going up through the years of yugioh as a rival team of rare hunters
Yes! And tag team duels!
AngelFicth follow bettekr in toe fairmooth
that would get expensive '.'
Raiders was the pack that made the game fun. It came out with the starter decks and it started competitive Yu-Gi-Oh. Duels we're really exciting like this one with many twists and turns
Thousend drg
Time Roulette!!
OOOOOOOOH I didn't realize you upgrade the decks as you go along, that is so awesome, I really like this format and the duels are so nice to watch (I hope they are as fun to play as when you look at them
Yeah its like Cimoooo's progression seris but with half the packs and in real life
And a little more variety....these guys are playing the cool cards instead of only whats good....of course half the packs half the options but still
Really like the series so far! Making decks from what limited random cards you have and forcing yourselves to be resourceful is a very cool challenge. It stops you from metagming the shit out of every game and makes any card game twice more fun! Keeping the proggresion is very good idea. Since you don't have to start from scratch every week your decks are better and duels more interesting, it also helps to make the videos feel like a series (there were even callbacks to the last episode at 14:44 and 22:52). This format definitly is very anime and I can get excited watching it like an actual show. That's why I'm glad you guys went for the theatrics and role-playing.
Honestly, you could go all out for it if you want: start explaining every single card as you play it (even the obvious ones), faking yourselves characters with made up personalities to role-play, or trying to give this series lore (even something as simple as: we work for Marik, we met each other and fought over a rare card, now we are sworn rivals). So I'm just saying, if you want to make this series a full on spinoff, you easily can. I promise I will not call you guys cringe!
The back and forth on this duel was drama at its finest. Such a pleasure to watch.
Bro the twists and turns of every play was amazing i also love that everyone made a comeback
dang that shadow ghoul play was sick. this turned out to be a really entertaining match
Honestly one of the most entertaining duels I've watched in a long time. I miss this kinda Yu-Gi-Oh.
This duel was way more intense then it had to be. Another great battle
ikr all these twists and turns
I don't play Yu-Gi-Oh anymore ( because i dont like mondern Yu-Gi-Oh anymore) but love to watch some old school dueling. Keep up the great work guys. It was a lot of fun to watch
Modern YuGiOh is so broken, basically if you win the coin toss you won the duel. Fun!
@@nauticoom indeed that why i stick around the old school. At least until they balance the game more
I don’t play Yugioh anymore. Of course I don’t play Yugioh any less either.
@@nauticoom Couldn't be more wrong. Modern yugioh has its issue and so does old school. You literally want to play beatdown huh?
I agree. I still play old school Yu-Gi-Oh with some of my friends, but not the modern one. I can't stand that playstyle
Loved the duel! Still shook with the two-pronged attack move that Paul made
This episode is pure nostalgia! I still have an old bag of Metal Raiders commons back home! Glad I have better luck now 😁
You're gonna win next time buddy. I believe in you! Keep up the good content!
If you guys make 2000 episodes of this I would watch all of them atleast twice. Great stuff
Glad Paul finally realized the power of Paralyzing Potion... Though, that Two-Pronged Attack came quite clutch despite the heavy cost... XD
Alec and Paul have such great chemistry. I love this series. I usually don’t care to watch RL duels, but this is great content.
this was such a good duel, i love this era so much
These oldschool duels are simply the best. Keep this series going, it's fantastic!
Stuff like this is why Yu Gi Oh needs a limited set format. Duels like these don't exist anymore and this was where YGO was best.
Pharaoh's Servant should be coming up soon as a set I believe and it was such an awesome time
I think we have that now in a way with Speed duels but generaly a Master Duel Rules but "Only cards up to a certain series" would be a fun variant especialy for more fun deck players. Modern Decks and Cards have a place sure but it basicly makes half the cards ever printed just... irrelevant besides for collectors wich is just sad.
Jeez the amount of back and forth in this duel was insane. I'm really enjoying this series.
Progression series’ are always fun, but the added bonus of taking each other’s cards is the best part of this. The one fear I have is that if someone goes on a losing streak and loses their best cards every week it may be impossible to catch up.
The Jirai Gumo face off had me in stitches
This duel was amazing! This is why I love old school duels.
Paul seems like the serious antagonist who trained for centuries and Alec seems like the protagonist that uses the power of friendship
You guys struck gold with this series
This might be the most creative series on youtube right now. It's like playing an RTS where you upgrade in ages to get better things as time goes on.
It's literally just the progression series that every other yugituber has been doing for the past 2 years? Except in paper.
I love this series so far! Keep up the great work!
The thing about this is Alec had the better monster line up, but Paul had more grind and good defensive cards, this battle could have gone either way. Just glad it wasn't a blow out. Lol. Now, you know you gotta do best of 3 instead of best of 1. Lol
Wouldn't Shield and Sword not affect the boost from Shadow Ghouls effect since it's only swapping original attack and defense?
Yeah, Shadow Ghoul's effect is active and changes depending on the number of monsters. So he would still get the boost, Shield and sword would not negate his effect
Man I remember when I was a kid, walking into a Woolworths with my Dad and buying the odd booster pack here and there, Metal Raiders being one of the first boxes to be available at the shop.
Eventually with my Dad getting more into it too he'd purchase a full box and we'd spend hours opening packs, organising and then creating awesome decks.
I loved Yu-Gi-Oh as a kid and really wished I kep my cards from back in the day. I eventually came back to it years later when they had introduced synchro, pendulum monsters etc and just couldn't get on with it. My heart belongs to the OG game and series and wish I could just relive those gaming days.
Loving this series and the nerdyness that you two bring. Been a pleasure watching you videos recently having just stumbled across the channel. I look forward to videos in this series, happy hunting
Rare Hunters episode 2 for my Friday afternoon while working at the shop. Couldn’t ask for a better video, thanks guys!
Loving this series. Having all the old cards, simple mechanics and building up your decks as you open each new booster pack really brings back the essence of what Yu-Gi-Oh was when we were kids. You couldn't just Google deck lists and buy singles - you had to rely on the luck of your pulls and throw your strongest cards together to form your personal Frankenstein deck. Great fun.
Don't you let this series die please.
Haven’t watched a dual since middle school, but today I’ve watched both of these in the series. Please keep it up!
This was as climactic, exciting, and close as an anime duel. Love it!
Paul you misplaced.
Shadow Ghouls effect would still boost his attack by the number on monsters in your grave.
So even though he had 1300 defense his attack would have still increased 1400 so his attack would be 2700 and not 1300.
I love how Paul has completely given up on calling Alec Rare hunter instead of duelist
Now thats what dueling should be. That incredible back and forth, the clutch spell cards, the traps to flip the game. So good
love that they act it out like an actual anime duel haha
Hands down, you are the best, the most down to earth and in general the most sympathic YGO content creators on TH-cam.
I can't imagine how much this series is costing you guys. Great work as usual. Hype for rare hunters and Larry in the hole
lmao "oh" 14:37 Great duel!
God I love old duels so much. More fun to watch and easier to follow than modern yuigoh.
Was there an unintended cut at like 29:35? It just cut to MP2 and there was Kuriboh in the GY. Obvious hand trap move but I wanted to see Paul's face when Alec pulled that 🤣
The best part of this is that Alec pulled Soul Release so he could have dealt somewhat with the Shadow Ghoul but I dont think he put it in. Maybe will side it for next game lol
Man the dedication to the fans is amazing, you guys are building real decks and putting so much effort in that this and the last video earned you guys a subscription
This series is fantastic so far. Love what you're doing, keep it up.
I love this series so much, mostly because it’s made with actual real cards. Never stop, guys
OH MAN this was so epic. I loved every moment! I can't wait for next week!
I hope you incorporate a team duel with the other APS fam. 2v2 then possibly a betrayal of the winners to see who's really greedy because why not? 🤔 (i love this Rare Hunter series you guys are doing. And from what i remember in battle city those rare hunter guys had no loyalty so i suppose a betrayal could make sense.) or just a good old fashioned 2v2. I really hope you guys continue throughout all the sets because I've stopped playing during GX. Team APS is the reason why I became interested in YuGiOh again. I won't ever get into the new stuff but this cannel really brings back great memories. You guys are great content creators because of that bro energy 👏 the vibes really make this team different from anything else I find on YT.
Please, just keep doing what ya'll are doing and continue to be the definition or great sportsmanship.
I love this series so much
This series is just such an excellent idea. Each episode gets more and more fun and we get to see their different styles develop as they get more cards. I wonder if they'll go beyond the classic series.
Just a ruling question: even switching shadow ghoul atk/def, doesn't his effect still increase his atk?
I'm loving this series so far by the way.
I was thinking the same thing. It says orginal Attack and defense. So the modifiers would still apply to the stats as before.
This is my favorite series so far, the quick cuts, the decks, the comedy, amazing work guys, can’t wait to see the next episode!
Since shield and sword specifically says that it changes the original atk and def, wouldn’t shadow ghoul still be at 2500 atk? His original atk was 1600 which would be switched with his defense of 1100, but wouldn’t the atk boost he gets still apply to that 1100?
i hope you guys keep this going, i love the idea of pooling all the stuff you've opened from each video.
32:59 I can feel your anger.
It gives you focus, makes you stronger.
Oh yes i love that u guys combine ur deck from the first episode! Def looking forward to the progression of this series!
Guys. I have such a good duel series idea. OLD banned decks vs NEW meta decks.
You're all talking about how sword and shield shouldn't work like that and missed the fact that Paul didn't attack the empty board at 29:30
Love how these simpler decks have a lot of back and forth, even though each turn only has a few actions. Seems more like battles of attritrion rather than otk-style matchups. Great series.
What an emotional rollercoaster this was, you could hardly script something so back-and-forth. Every player got to use all of their ace-cards, and in the end, it was the Summoned Skull that was up for grabs in the first place that clinched it. Very entertaining video
This format will be so nice in like half a year
This duel was awesome, some of those plays felt like they'd feel right at home in the anime, haha. And I didn't realize going in that the decks would progress week to week, that makes this series super interesting. Can't wait to see how they continue to evolve!
I really love the idea of having the card pools increase with every episode! Great to see these decks evolve over time. I know I'm late to this series, but absolutely adore the concept!
14:44 Lol What a callback to the last episode, where Alec did the same thing
How dare you use my own spells against me Potter!
22:52 Another reoccurence lmao
This series being IRL yugioh makes it that much better!
uh i love this new series with this evolving decks from episode to episode
lol jirai gumo fight had me laughing, reminds me of calling the coin toss wrong three times in a row and losing😂
The production quality is so high. I am so glad I found this channel.
I think this is my favorite series to watch yet! You two really brought it with this. I'm looking forward to seeing who will be Mariks #1 hunter.
I really dig these videos! NOT every day you can watch someone open vintage yu gi oh packs and play rare hunter style duels
Unironically my favorite series on TH-cam right now.
I would live to see this series continue not just through the classic sets but through every set along the way, seeing the decks evolve with the game would be sick, plus youd like never run out of episodes as long as konami keeps printing sets
This duel is incredible! I being a casual Yu-Gi-Oh fan, you guy made following the battle super easy and entertaining. I love Team APS and I’m a fan of Alec but I was rooting for Paul. Alec taking Paul’s Blue Eyes White Dragon made Alec a bad guy in this Rare Hunters series. Great Series also!
I really love this series. I’m so excited to see this keep going. Honestly, you guys are the only yugi-tubers that I genuinely enjoy watching. I don’t play the game much, I collect but mostly only watch y’all play. I hope to see more of these vids!!
This is one of **the** coolest Yu-Gi-Oh series I have ever seen! Keep it up!
This series is so sick man, love to see it! Team APS always coming out with new and exciting content. Keep it up guys, easily becoming my favorite channel
This series is incredible, very well put together, and so much fun to watch!
I'm actually really happy that the inevitable APS progrussy series turned out to be this. These guys are really fun to watch, the corny dialogue is great, and the gimmick adds stakes without hugely imbalancing the series' meta.
I've seen a mistake made by Paul. The buff to attack STAYS on attack, that card only switches the ORIGINAL attack and defense of a card!
This is a much better series then I expected. I stopped around 5’ds so this link and xyz stuff breaks my brain but with pack progression I feel like I’ll be able to get to catch up on knowledge I missed out on and enjoy what it means to build a truly strong deck.
I don't know if they will go that far into Yugioh's history, and if they do it will take ages to get there. The first set to feature XYZs summoning is Generation Force which is the 40th major set release meaning it will take almost 2 years to reach that point at the current video rate.
I really love Team Aps content, all of them! But I have to say this Rare Hunters series is my new favourite of all! The way you're upgrading your decks, this pace and constant action (minus that minor inconvenience with SoRL) I love it. This is Yu-Gi-Oh!
You guys are the best! I feel like I'm watching a real life anime when I watch you two! So much fun!
Thanks so much! I think Yu-Gi-Oh is best enjoyed this way!
13:57 THE play ahhhh ♡♡♡ Well played Alec ! I loved it
Thanks Paul for making this with the same decks from last time!!! I was so happy to see that! Best series yet!
Looking forward to the rest of the Rare Hunter series. Between the great plays made by both duelists, this was an amazing episode. Awesome work guys!
Ruling error:
Sword and Shield swaps the original ATK and DEF, meaning the Shadow Ghoul should keeps the ATK from it's effect.
Finding this channel was the best thing I have ever done. It gave me back my love of yugioh after almost a decade away from the game. I may miss the old way of Yugioh as I stopped after the XYZ monsters came into the game. Since then I have gotten a better understanding of the game and its all thanks to you guys!!! Keep up the great Work!!!!
Alec: What Shadow ghoul does ?
Paul: HE WINS
