Hey guys! I just wanted to say a big thank you for all of the positive support on the last video. You guys got it in the algorithm and that is huge for a new small channel. So again, thank you for likes, comments, and most importantly your thoughts. Really cool to hear from so many enthusiastic Yu-Gi-Oh players and it’s a pleasure being back in the game. With that said, let’s continue to build something special here! -Ruggles
something tells me the views and subs spike might have something to do with farfa watching you on stream and allot of his viewers (myself included) coming over to the channel. Really enjoying the content, keep it up!
@@Ruggles117 and absolutely rocking it. Also. You said in your first video that you didn't have an intro. I think a good temporary one is what you said at the veeeerrry end. "We'll figure it out." It works on so many levels I feel. It could be like. We'll figure out where we go from here. You'll figure out what's the next step to going further back into the game is or where to improve where you currently are. And just stuff like that. Just a suggestion but I think it's cool.
Your type of content is so fresh, just sharing all those stories and having a real optimistic kind of vibe is so nice to see in yugioh. Keep the good work, you are awesome.
Thank you. I feel like some much of my past with Yu-Gi-Oh is incredibly nostalgic because it's all tied to different friends and big points in life. Looking forward to making and sharing lots of new stories :)
@@randommordekaisermain1214 Is it? I am just getting into the game, I'm 19 (turn 20 in December). I was looking into starting back in February, but am only recently seriously getting into it. While I don't plan to play competitively, I will still play in tournaments (once i move to a city with a community) for fun. I play Black Luster Soldier as my main deck. (The uh, super soldier and envoy, not the regular one. Tried really hard to justify using the regular BLS but there's no reason to) Anyways, I wasn't aware the game was looked down upon. I thought back in the early 2000s, older neckbeardy MTG types looked down on it because "YUGIOH'S A KIDS GAME AND A MAGIC RIP OFF HERPADERP". (The guy who runs the local game store has this view on Yugioh, but he's also in his 50s, so there's probably a connection there) Nowadays I think most people who grew up with the card game are around my age, AKA between the ages of 17 and 25. Grew up watching the show while growing up, that is. And now that that demographic is old enough to buy cards, and understand the rules, i think a lot of them would have nostalgia that would cause them to play the game. And with all these various things yugioh related as of late (many new youtubers, Dark Side Of Dimensions, Yugioh Abridged, Duel Links, the new upcoming series, etc, etc), i think the people in that age range are seeing some (or even just 1) of the various things related to the game that have caused them to go 'hey that's still a game' and have looked at it... but maybe that's just my train of thought XD
@@Alino- i mean by people in general Yu Gi Oh is not something that you can just have a conversation about without being considered a man child or stupid shit like that
@@randommordekaisermain1214 Lol some bitch in high school called me pathetic because i knew how to play the game, yeah sadly people are really fucking judgmental.
He's specifically talking about the Nymnhim series Sealed-Only and not (sealed only) videos in general. The type of video they are; A high production, episodic, satisfying yugioh vlog with similar connections and goals especially now that Sealed-Only, the series has just ended.
To be honest, I was on the verge of quitting the game for a couple of weeks and was just going to Locals to sell some of my collection and spend some time with my friends with me not enjoying playing like I used to. However, I started watching your series and your genuine happiness and passion to play this game really got me hyped to actually play Yu-Gi-Oh! again since like 3 months (also taking HEROs to Locals tomorrow, just with Malicious Bane 😁) Really means a lot to me, keep up the amazing work!
That was super heartfelt, man. Thanks for taking the time to share it. it meant a lot to me too :) Hope you did great and that the Bane lived up to the hype!
Man, as a Communications major whose currently taking a class on Social Media. It's just fascinating to see how quickly your channel has grown for the content you are creating. The highest Yu-Gi-Oh channels only have like 120k subscribers while the still successful channels like Trif only has 14k. You getting 1k in the span of a week is amazing. I subscribed because you seem like a very nice guy and honestly keep that personality as you move forward back into Yu-Gi-Oh. Your only getting more and more subscribers each day while also having the big names in this community watching your video. You will be a staple for the Yu-Gi-Oh scene soon enough.
@A Nobody ??? It was about most subscribed to YuGiOh channels and 120k is just a misinformation. Nothing against this new guy. Just shouting out the mistake written down. So idk how to interpretate your comment as it adds nothing to the conversation per se.
@@lifequality I was using like as an indicator for more or less. While these channels are getting more and more daily subscribers there is a point for TH-camrs where the type of content you create matters. Just clarifying my wording for you, but my other part of my message is that other highly successful Yu-Gi-Oh based content creators only average 10k to 40k subscribers again not hard numbers but loose ones. Trif only has 14k, farfa only has in the 33k range. I was just stating that he had achieved an amazing growth rate for a new channel on a limiting content platform. Yu-Gi-Oh is only relevant to Yugioh players and perhaps other card game players but it's still limited. That means for growth of this caliber it's substantial.
He actually hasn't settled on anything yet. He's going to do an official grand opening at the start of the new year. Right now it's all pretty grass roots but when he has something he loves I will be sure to share it and frequently :) P.S. Again, in case you didn't see my other reply due to the thousands of notifications you must get, your videos have become a real staple of my week!
Dude I love this idea of following Mario as well. Following a card shop along with the player base is bound to be interesting! My first yugioh cards were in the original Yugi starter deck. Still remember my mom saying "it's just going to be a phase" lol
I don't know the entire context behind the play at 7:26, making Yazi. Farfa will destroy itself on the field after Destrudo is summoned, so he wouldn't have a monster to synchro with. Great episode :)
Thanks, that's a super big compliment! I love watching people like Casey Neistat and Peter Mckinnon; I always want to pick up the camera right after an episode :)
Ruggles no problem bro everything about the editing on this video is super smooth and buttery. No weird jump cuts or jarring jumps in time it just flows great! Top notch stuff,
7:25 when he said "I'm killing you" he can't make Yazi. Destrudo will summon itself onto the field and Farfa will be destroyed by it's own effect. So you probably could have won that game right there. As a returning and/or a new player, always be sure to read your opponents cards.
A little correction is that Farfa is not destroyed by game mechanic, but rather by its own effect. That’s why stuff like Libic and Tour Guide prevent the BA monsters from killing themselves
I'm from brazil and I'm coming back right now, found your video trough research and I'm so happy and nostalgic. The feeling I'm having playing online and ordering some cards is just amazing and it's so good to see someone doing the same thing back when it was possible. Amazing series man I loved it.
You popped up on my feed n I freaking love this series and can’t wait to see your journey! Video Quality is amazing btw! You’ve gained a subscriber and new friend!
Just got back into the game a year ago and it’s been a great experience. I love seeing vids like these that have some experiences that parallel mine. Keep up the good work.
Really happy to hear it. I feel like the games already so engaging. I can't imagine how enjoyable it'll be when I actually catch up with the back catalog of cards and start building some original decks
Well I’m enjoying it so far. I too got back into the game after a long hiatus and then taught my kids to play. Good thing Cimo had you on the deck building challenge cause that’s how I found your channel
As someone who also just got back into Yu Gi Oh around the same time as you, I find your videos inspiring and quite refreshing to watch. The one thing I think a lot of yugitubers can learn from you is the pacing of your speech. Maybe it's the amount information they have to distill but I find that many of them feel the need to break the sound barrier by speaking at 1000 words per minute. Keep up the great work and I look forward to your next videos.
Thanks so much for this channel, I have wanted to get back into the game, like you after 7 or 8 years of not playing. It's been almost 6 months that I'm pondering buying a deck and doing it. But your channel is the jumpstart for me! Also, I wanted to play Hero as well, nostalgia I presume, so it will be great to learn with you along the way. Thank you again and I hope this will get bigger. It's cool to spread positive thoughts about this community.
I got back to YuGiOh last year as well & it was a lot of change and new rulings.I am glad to see people experience getting back to something they love & it was honestly like becoming young again.
I used to play yugi a lot time ago, I came back playing rokkets and I really got nervous of playing tournaments and even playing friendly with someone because I miss some effects and other things but your series encouraged me to play in tournaments and hey It was a good experience the people on the store was friendly and also helped me a lot so thank you and welcome back
Dude, I just love the storytelling in your videos. The Mario‘s Shop-Side Quest, getting to know your friends/other players you play against...that’s just like following your life around your deck/yugioh-progress. Also your editing and filming is fresh and very great! You deserve the subs, views and fans you‘re getting through these videos! Thanks for the great videos and keep on playing ;)
Thanks, Nien! It's been a lot of fun to catch up with old friends and as you put it, engage in these side quests. Appreciate you taking the time to leave such a positive comment :)
@@Ruggles117 Anytime mate! The fun you're having with filming and editing your videos really shows in the end result. Having returned to playing Yugioh with friends about a month ago, I love seeing you taking your journey to a better deck and becoming a more skilled player from time to time, because I'm experiencing the same thing.
A lot like you i played the game when i was younger and it was a huge part of my life. I'm coming back to it after 6 years and i saw a Yu-Gi-Oh game on the PC gaming store steam and i just had the urge to try it again. Seeing your videos is really awesome, you seem just really exited about the game and honestly happy to play it.
your content is so great. I got back into YuGiOh recently because it brings back a good memory of me playing with my dad when I was younger and that is the only bonding we did. I have played it with my friends but you're getting me into looking for tournaments. I am going to my first one this Saturday. thank you
I play Magic the Gathering and I absolutely love it. However, a friend has been begging me to play yugioh as well. After much back and forth, your content has pushed me over the edge! I remember the feeling I had building my first Magic deck on my own and the fun I had learning of powerful cards I could add to it and I look forward to feeling that again with yugioh. Thanks man.
As another person who has been out of the Yu-Gi-Oh scene for about 10 years this series has made me want to get back into the game even more. I've been watching other Yu-Gi-Oh TH-camrs but these episodes really resonate with me. I hope I have as much fun as you are with my own attempt to get back into the game. LOVE THE CONTENT! and keep Enjoying the Journey.
As somebody who also took a 10 year hiatus from the game and just returned I'm really loving this series. Awesome to see you doing so well with your heroes, my Rokkets haven't disappointed me yet either.
Randomly bumped into this and I thought it was a randomly underrated channel but it's a new one with this much promotion already, this is such a good start so dont waste it, pretty dope in depth videos.
This is the kind of series I needed. I'm slowly getting back into yugioh myself so seeing someone who hasn't played in 10 years and getting back into the game and finding a deck he enjoys is pretty inspiring. Now I just need to find a locals nearby so I can play some games. I have a deck, just need to find a place to play. Also my first Yugioh cards came from the Yugi Starter Deck.
The way you include short stories and memories makes the video feel so smooth. It’s also interesting and entertaining. As for the question of most notible cards from the begging was probably Dark paladin secret rare whatever set the first one came out in. My parents weren’t keen on buying me cardboard but I got super lucky to have a uncle who sold and bought cards and collectibles on eBay so he would give me Yugioh cards that didn’t have value and as gifts for holidays he would give me a couple of the more rare cards and that was super special to me.
I'm just getting back into yugioh after about five years of not playing and this video serious just gets me even more excited about ordering the decks I've been testing on ygo pro!
Have to say great content. I love seeing someone come back to the game and document it. In answer to your question at the end my first notable cards were of course the Kaiba and Yugi decks, but the one that has stayed with me was the first holo I ever pulled from a pack, Helpoemer. Still have the card and even got it signed by Team Sam. keep up this series its awesome.
Everytime someone says that Yu-Gi-Oh! is only played by nerds without a life, I show them this. A sympathic, joyful Guy, that loves this game, is creative and full of energy. Also he has a normal Life and some nice cooking skills. This is basically a documentary. And I am very thankfull for that, because it helps putting our community in the right light. Greetings from Kiel, Germany🇩🇪
Haha, I appreciate the heads up. I'm sure I will make a lot of similar misplays over the next couple months so it's nice to have such a positive community to let me know what's up along the way
@@Ruggles117 For future reference so you understand why you cannot search super poly. Vyon says 'add 1 "polymerization" from...' instead of 'add 1 "polymerization" card from...' . When it says 'card' after its name means anything with that name can be searched. Otherwise it's only able to search that exact card name (and ones treated as it).
Funny just ordered a hero deck to get into yugioh again and I find your channel the next day. Your videos are so well made and encouraging too! Excited for more 😃
Just starting to watch through these and honestly you've got me so hyped to get back in to the game, I've been collecting again since November and want to start locals. Seeing someone enjoying coming back has helped me make that jump, thank you! (Also video quality is niceeeee)
This video serie you are creating is just what I needed. I’m coming back to the game after a huge hiatus as well as you and got back last month and the community is so amazing that I have found myself dropping other recreational activities or games just to go and play. Keep it up, man! And congratulations on your 3rd place in the tournament
Your videos really resonate with me on many levels. I retired from Yu-Gi-Oh back in 2006 and returned in 2017. Like you, I turned to TH-cam for advice and insight into the many different summoning mechanics and that ultimately helped me build a competitive deck. I'm a Pendulum player now, and you'll love that deck once you learn how to play it. I'm really enjoying your series thus far, so you've earned a subscription from me. Can't wait to see more. Also nice to know that I'm not the only Canadian who returned to the game recently :).
Ah, a fellow Canadian! I'm glad all of my scenes with Tim Hortons will resonate with someone ;) All jokes aside, really happy to hear you're enjoying the series so far man!
Just want to say I dont really watch Yugioh, but seeing you do something you're so passionate about and these episodes flowing so well makes them really entertaining even though I barely know what's going on. Keep it up!
I’m really digging this new wave of narrative YuGiOh media, love the HEROs and love that you’re enjoying yugioh again, as someone who came back to the game about a year ago it’s great to see someone having fun and creating excellent work
I just went to my first locals for Yugioh in years about two weeks ago. This video series really resonates with me since I’ve been aware of competitive yugioh and I’ve kept up with it, but I haven’t actually tried to play it until this year. I personally started re-learning the game with Sky Strikers and I’ve branched out to Orcust now and I’m having a great time. I’m surprised to see you starting with Heroes since they seem really combo-heavy, but hey if you’re having a good time, that’s what matters. Thanks for making these, its so nice and wholesome!
Sounds like you also jumped into it with some pretty competitive decks. Good for you man. Always appreciate it when people are willing to give it there all from the get go
ITS crazy woh your videos can inspire me. Iam from germany and i was comming back to Yu-Gi-Oh Just a couple of months ago ... I really struggle with the choice of cards in my decks and what to take in my side-deck ... But seeing you doing thus stuff gives me great motivation to continue on thanks ^^
For the answer to the end card the first card I remember actually owning was a pack that had neospacian air humming bird, i don’t really remember any of the other cards specifically since it was years ago and i lost them a while back, but seeing you do such a great job with a brand new deck makes me want to eventually start building my own deck to play.
I didn't notice that this is your first 3 videos you have a lot confidence and you are good at edit, music choices, speech and you get to the viewer heart and mind thanks for being here. I would like make a livestream and play with as at a yugioh game and i think that everyone likes to play with a good youtuber and a good person as we see
hey man. a fan of nyhmnims series, and found yours. ive been trying to get back in as well, while building a sky striker deck. i love the way you film your videos and it may be corny but the way you talk to the camera and everything just makes me feel like you are a friend. and the yugioh community is so kind to returning players as you said. will def be following your videos. good luck friend
Hey, kind of corny is always welcome here. I really appreciate it and I do feel like I'm already making friends with a lot of the community members. So, thank you for joining the journey and I look forward to little chats in the future!
Can't say enough about how good your Channel is bro... I'm coming back after being away from the game for what seems forever.. building A blue eyes deck for nostalgic reasons.. but can't wait to see more from you.
This video is incredibly awesome. I remember when I'm returning to Yu-Gi-Oh! a year ago and still playing PENDULUM!! until now (thanks to Trif). Keep up the good work, man. Can't wait your 1st YCS tournament
As far as notable decks I started playing with the first wave in 2002, but didn't really understand the game until a short while later. I played with starter decks but didn't really build my own until around 2003 with Starter Deck Pegasus. For some reason I just loved trying to focus the deck around toons and rituals. I guess young me was just really into that Pegasus roleplay or something lol. Awesome to hear I'm not the only old head coming back to this game so recently! :D
Ruggles is actually magic, he talks to you as if your Infront of him. And his passionate and enthusiastic reunion to Yu-Gi-Oh is so unique and magical compared to some of the others. And also the fact he doesn't make this series all about himself growing, but about his friends shop as well. Love this series already, can't wait for week 3 :D
People can copy you but your a perfectionist you know how to please us. That’s why sealed only yugioh by Nyhmnim was a success. Keep up the good work keep growing as a community and a channel. -Random Dude
As a dude who plays various Pendulum variants competitively I'm really excited to see you try. It's a fantastic strategy and plays a bit different than most decks out there due to using most of if not your entire hand every turn 1.
The production value is incredible! I can see the love and time you're putting into this series! I will definitely be watching every upload! Would you think about possibly doing some pack openings on the channel as well? I can't wait to see what you have in store! Good luck and welcome back to Yu-Gi-Oh!
So in 2016 Konami released a retrained version of the original Felgrand Structure Deck (Rise of the Dragon Lords) called Rise of the True Dragons Structure Deck. This structure deck introduced a lot of really cool level 7 or 8 Dragon Support including Divine Dragon Lord Felgrand, Arkbrave Dragon, Paladin of Felgrand, Guardian of Felgrand, Dragon Knight of Creation, Ruins of the Divine Dragon Lords, Return of the Dragon Lords and other cool cards. The original Felgrand Structure Deck was the first deck I ever had, I was barely 7 at the time and I remember getting it for my birthday. Seeing you do all of this really made want to try to get back into the physical aspect of Yu-Gi-Oh! As now I am determined to build the deck in real life thanks to you. Oh btw your series is awesome, the editing is on point, you're calm, straight to the point and you give insights on what you felt about certain thing and why it might matter and I really like that
The first card I ever got was a Time Thief Redoer, I didn't pull it, but I got from a guy. That gift from him to me, was something special and now I cherish that card. I made my Time Thief deck and now I just love it, and thanks to that one guy I have an even more profound love for this game.
dude I just picked up your videos and I have to say you did not disappoint, your narration is great, editing is on point, I love the little things you add like the breakfast cam the side stories, the compliments to the people you meet and that cheeky shout out to them, mad respect for that btw. You are a true HERO in the yugitubing community, keep it up and get your game on. A fellow hero enthusiast
Awh, reading that one really made me happy. Thanks, man. I'm defenitly having fun interjecting other little things like breakfast. I want this to be about Yu-Gi-Oh but also a little life vlog too :)
Cool to see this series... im way behind qnd hopefully can binge through the episodes! I've also been teetering with the idea of rejoining the game. I got curious started looking through the new stuff and fell in love with the art of saryuja... so hopefully I can learn link summoning, and take that bad boy out for a spin. Really like the content. Keep it up!
Just how good is this quality!?!? I hope ur friend is able to grow his store bigger and be more successful. I wish u had way more subs dude, this videos are amazing
Thanks man! I have a lot of faith in Mario. He's a great leader for the community and I have no doubt that he'll continue to make the shop better and better :)
Bro this is amazing you are blowing up so fast as a yugituber. Great job man editing is great content is fresh and exciting and you just seem genuine which is always nice to see.
This is awesome to see I'm getting back into Yu-Gi-Oh after being out for a few years and I'm really excited to compare our journeys...also on a side note the very first time I got Yu-Gi-Oh cards I was like 8 and me and my uncle got 5 packs each and I pulled a super rare Flame Swordsman it is still my favorite card to this day and I still have it today (in heavy played condition lol)
Bro! Props on the video editing! Good clean style. Love it! I’m also getting back into Yugioh. I hadn’t played since 2003! When I was in middle school. I’m looking into the Pendulum cards to be honest. Always loved the whole Magician archetype. Look forward to your content!
I too have recently been back into ygo, but I lack the funds you have to build so competitively, so I had 3 order of the spellcasters structures that I saved up for slowly to get a good deck going and I too ended up watching Cimooo's how to pendulum summon video lol, I wish you luck in this journey
My notable first cards is from a Structure Deck: Dinosaur's Rage It came with a Five-Headed Dragon promo (which I still have till this date) and cherished it. I remember summoning Tyrano Infinity and scoring my first match with it with a whooping 6000 atk!
Bro, I love these videos. And I love the dedication for testing. I also love 😍 how soft your locals are. Keep the grind and videos coming. You won't be a scrub for long
It's crazy that I'm trying to get back into Yu-Gi-Oh after about 10 years. I was pleased to see someone making a series like this. Keep it up, I'm excited for the next episode.
Love your channel, I can’t wait to see your upcoming videos! First cards I owned was the original Yugi Starter Deck. I ordered it from ToyWiz way back in the day.
your content is amazing! i really like the way you show the matches and talk about all the people that are helping you getting back into the game, also it makes me want to get back too

@@randommordekaisermain1214 Is it? I am just getting into the game, I'm 19 (turn 20 in December). I was looking into starting back in February, but am only recently seriously getting into it.

Just clarifying my wording for you, but my other part of my message is that other highly successful Yu-Gi-Oh based content creators only average 10k to 40k subscribers again not hard numbers but loose ones. Trif only has 14k, farfa only has in the 33k range. I was just stating that he had achieved an amazing growth rate for a new channel on a limiting content platform. Yu-Gi-Oh is only relevant to Yugioh players and perhaps other card game players but it's still limited. That means for growth of this caliber it's substantial.
Great episode! Glad to see you're enjoying your time back. What's is Mario's shop called? I don't think you said
He actually hasn't settled on anything yet. He's going to do an official grand opening at the start of the new year. Right now it's all pretty grass roots but when he has something he loves I will be sure to share it and frequently :) P.S. Again, in case you didn't see my other reply due to the thousands of notifications you must get, your videos have become a real staple of my week!
Mario’s gaming world
Back for episode 2! Didn’t disappoint. For the record, I almost never watch ygo content. Making this an exception and I’m glad I did! 👍🏼👍🏼
Means a lot man. I'm sure you will see your channel in many montages here lol
Dude I love this idea of following Mario as well. Following a card shop along with the player base is bound to be interesting!
My first yugioh cards were in the original Yugi starter deck. Still remember my mom saying "it's just going to be a phase" lol
I actually am returning back this weekend after 3 years and it’s So good to be back
Really happy to hear you're having a similar experience!
I don't know the entire context behind the play at 7:26, making Yazi. Farfa will destroy itself on the field after Destrudo is summoned, so he wouldn't have a monster to synchro with.
Great episode :)
Had both Mathematician and Farfa in hand, thought I normaled the Math. I didn't realize I normaled the Farfa until the video was uploaded.
You sound more knowledgeable than most “pro” players. Keep it up.
Dude this channel is awesome hoping your channel builds up some more subs bro! Your cinematography is up there with Casey Neistat
Thanks, that's a super big compliment! I love watching people like Casey Neistat and Peter Mckinnon; I always want to pick up the camera right after an episode :)
Ruggles no problem bro everything about the editing on this video is super smooth and buttery. No weird jump cuts or jarring jumps in time it just flows great! Top notch stuff,
7:25 when he said "I'm killing you" he can't make Yazi. Destrudo will summon itself onto the field and Farfa will be destroyed by it's own effect. So you probably could have won that game right there. As a returning and/or a new player, always be sure to read your opponents cards.
It's not cheating if you don't get caught.
A little correction is that Farfa is not destroyed by game mechanic, but rather by its own effect. That’s why stuff like Libic and Tour Guide prevent the BA monsters from killing themselves
I'm going to assume libic summoned it. At least I'm going to hope it was. I'd hate to see this wholesome guy get cheated out of a W.
@@TheFinalSummonFFX Getting cheated is part of the game. It usually happens when you don't read your opponent's cards.
@@Jajuan44 I wouldn't phrase it like that. Both players are responsible for game state. Yes, you are right that it usually comes from not reading.
I'm from brazil and I'm coming back right now, found your video trough research and I'm so happy and nostalgic. The feeling I'm having playing online and ordering some cards is just amazing and it's so good to see someone doing the same thing back when it was possible. Amazing series man I loved it.
7:25 So how did Ganon make Yazi? The Farfa should explode before he can Synchro summon, or am I missing something on the board?
Jacob Chung its worse because he NORMALED FARFA, dude really be out here cheating
Like you say those nostalgic things like heart of the cards and talk about your past (kaiba deck) its so nice to watch your content ❤❤
This dude dropping racks on these max rarity copies of some cards lol
Those secret darkurms
First rule of Yugioh - gotta pay to play.
My thoughts as well hahah
You popped up on my feed n I freaking love this series and can’t wait to see your journey! Video Quality is amazing btw! You’ve gained a subscriber and new friend!
*and a new friend* That's super nice man, thank you :)
Just got back into the game a year ago and it’s been a great experience. I love seeing vids like these that have some experiences that parallel mine. Keep up the good work.
Really happy to hear it. I feel like the games already so engaging. I can't imagine how enjoyable it'll be when I actually catch up with the back catalog of cards and start building some original decks
Well I’m enjoying it so far. I too got back into the game after a long hiatus and then taught my kids to play. Good thing Cimo had you on the deck building challenge cause that’s how I found your channel
Just want to say I really love your Yugioh videos. I'm in awe in the amount of edition and recording you do to make these videos look top notch.
As someone who also just got back into Yu Gi Oh around the same time as you, I find your videos inspiring and quite refreshing to watch. The one thing I think a lot of yugitubers can learn from you is the pacing of your speech. Maybe it's the amount information they have to distill but I find that many of them feel the need to break the sound barrier by speaking at 1000 words per minute. Keep up the great work and I look forward to your next videos.
Thanks so much for this channel, I have wanted to get back into the game, like you after 7 or 8 years of not playing. It's been almost 6 months that I'm pondering buying a deck and doing it. But your channel is the jumpstart for me! Also, I wanted to play Hero as well, nostalgia I presume, so it will be great to learn with you along the way.
Thank you again and I hope this will get bigger. It's cool to spread positive thoughts about this community.
I got back to YuGiOh last year as well & it was a lot of change and new rulings.I am glad to see people experience getting back to something they love & it was honestly like becoming young again.
I used to play yugi a lot time ago, I came back playing rokkets and I really got nervous of playing tournaments and even playing friendly with someone because I miss some effects and other things but your series encouraged me to play in tournaments and hey It was a good experience the people on the store was friendly and also helped me a lot so thank you and welcome back
Dude, I just love the storytelling in your videos. The Mario‘s Shop-Side Quest, getting to know your friends/other players you play against...that’s just like following your life around your deck/yugioh-progress.
Also your editing and filming is fresh and very great!
You deserve the subs, views and fans you‘re getting through these videos!
Thanks for the great videos and keep on playing ;)
Thanks, Nien! It's been a lot of fun to catch up with old friends and as you put it, engage in these side quests. Appreciate you taking the time to leave such a positive comment :)
@@Ruggles117 Anytime mate!
The fun you're having with filming and editing your videos really shows in the end result.
Having returned to playing Yugioh with friends about a month ago, I love seeing you taking your journey to a better deck and becoming a more skilled player from time to time, because I'm experiencing the same thing.
@@niendumb Oh, it's really cool that we both kind of just started. Glad you're also finding it such a positive experience
A lot like you i played the game when i was younger and it was a huge part of my life. I'm coming back to it after 6 years and i saw a Yu-Gi-Oh game on the PC gaming store steam and i just had the urge to try it again. Seeing your videos is really awesome, you seem just really exited about the game and honestly happy to play it.
This series is such a fun and interesting one. It makes me want to actually start buying cards again myself.
your content is so great. I got back into YuGiOh recently because it brings back a good memory of me playing with my dad when I was younger and that is the only bonding we did. I have played it with my friends but you're getting me into looking for tournaments. I am going to my first one this Saturday. thank you
I play Magic the Gathering and I absolutely love it. However, a friend has been begging me to play yugioh as well. After much back and forth, your content has pushed me over the edge! I remember the feeling I had building my first Magic deck on my own and the fun I had learning of powerful cards I could add to it and I look forward to feeling that again with yugioh. Thanks man.
As another person who has been out of the Yu-Gi-Oh scene for about 10 years this series has made me want to get back into the game even more. I've been watching other Yu-Gi-Oh TH-camrs but these episodes really resonate with me. I hope I have as much fun as you are with my own attempt to get back into the game. LOVE THE CONTENT! and keep Enjoying the Journey.
That's awesome, man! I also hope you have just as much fun. Thanks for comment and welcome to the journey!
As somebody who also took a 10 year hiatus from the game and just returned I'm really loving this series.
Awesome to see you doing so well with your heroes, my Rokkets haven't disappointed me yet either.
This is the wholesome yugioh content Ive been missing. Phenomenal editing and just positive vibes all around. Keep it up!
Randomly bumped into this and I thought it was a randomly underrated channel but it's a new one with this much promotion already, this is such a good start so dont waste it, pretty dope in depth videos.
When this man said you just have to believe in the heart of the cards WE ALL FELT THAT! Another amazing episode bro!
This is the kind of series I needed. I'm slowly getting back into yugioh myself so seeing someone who hasn't played in 10 years and getting back into the game and finding a deck he enjoys is pretty inspiring. Now I just need to find a locals nearby so I can play some games. I have a deck, just need to find a place to play.
Also my first Yugioh cards came from the Yugi Starter Deck.
The way you include short stories and memories makes the video feel so smooth. It’s also interesting and entertaining. As for the question of most notible cards from the begging was probably Dark paladin secret rare whatever set the first one came out in. My parents weren’t keen on buying me cardboard but I got super lucky to have a uncle who sold and bought cards and collectibles on eBay so he would give me Yugioh cards that didn’t have value and as gifts for holidays he would give me a couple of the more rare cards and that was super special to me.
I am in the same boat! Just started back. The last time I played was 2006. Here I am back at it. Looking forward to Regionals this coming weekend
I'm just getting back into yugioh after about five years of not playing and this video serious just gets me even more excited about ordering the decks I've been testing on ygo pro!
Have to say great content. I love seeing someone come back to the game and document it. In answer to your question at the end my first notable cards were of course the Kaiba and Yugi decks, but the one that has stayed with me was the first holo I ever pulled from a pack, Helpoemer. Still have the card and even got it signed by Team Sam. keep up this series its awesome.
Everytime someone says that Yu-Gi-Oh! is only played by nerds without a life, I show them this. A sympathic, joyful Guy, that loves this game, is creative and full of energy. Also he has a normal Life and some nice cooking skills. This is basically a documentary. And I am very thankfull for that, because it helps putting our community in the right light.
Greetings from Kiel, Germany🇩🇪
9:40 this is exactly why Hero’s were my first and favorite deck, a dead hand turns into game with just one card lol
Still CAN NOT believe that happened.
You gotta believe in the heart of the cards man, you gotta believe....
5:35 vyon can't search super polymerization. Keep up the good work your content seems very interesting
Haha, I appreciate the heads up. I'm sure I will make a lot of similar misplays over the next couple months so it's nice to have such a positive community to let me know what's up along the way
@@Ruggles117 For future reference so you understand why you cannot search super poly. Vyon says 'add 1 "polymerization" from...' instead of 'add 1 "polymerization" card from...' . When it says 'card' after its name means anything with that name can be searched. Otherwise it's only able to search that exact card name (and ones treated as it).
Wow I love this! The editing and extra work you put into it is way worth it. Looks and sounds amazing from beginning to the end.
Funny just ordered a hero deck to get into yugioh again and I find your channel the next day. Your videos are so well made and encouraging too! Excited for more 😃
Just starting to watch through these and honestly you've got me so hyped to get back in to the game, I've been collecting again since November and want to start locals.
Seeing someone enjoying coming back has helped me make that jump, thank you!
(Also video quality is niceeeee)
This video serie you are creating is just what I needed. I’m coming back to the game after a huge hiatus as well as you and got back last month and the community is so amazing that I have found myself dropping other recreational activities or games just to go and play.
Keep it up, man! And congratulations on your 3rd place in the tournament
Your videos really resonate with me on many levels. I retired from Yu-Gi-Oh back in 2006 and returned in 2017. Like you, I turned to TH-cam for advice and insight into the many different summoning mechanics and that ultimately helped me build a competitive deck. I'm a Pendulum player now, and you'll love that deck once you learn how to play it.
I'm really enjoying your series thus far, so you've earned a subscription from me. Can't wait to see more. Also nice to know that I'm not the only Canadian who returned to the game recently :).
Ah, a fellow Canadian! I'm glad all of my scenes with Tim Hortons will resonate with someone ;) All jokes aside, really happy to hear you're enjoying the series so far man!
Just want to say I dont really watch Yugioh, but seeing you do something you're so passionate about and these episodes flowing so well makes them really entertaining even though I barely know what's going on. Keep it up!
I’m really digging this new wave of narrative YuGiOh media, love the HEROs and love that you’re enjoying yugioh again, as someone who came back to the game about a year ago it’s great to see someone having fun and creating excellent work
Who can’t wait for the next episode
This guy
:) It's half way done and the next tournament is tomorrow!
I just went to my first locals for Yugioh in years about two weeks ago. This video series really resonates with me since I’ve been aware of competitive yugioh and I’ve kept up with it, but I haven’t actually tried to play it until this year. I personally started re-learning the game with Sky Strikers and I’ve branched out to Orcust now and I’m having a great time. I’m surprised to see you starting with Heroes since they seem really combo-heavy, but hey if you’re having a good time, that’s what matters. Thanks for making these, its so nice and wholesome!
Sounds like you also jumped into it with some pretty competitive decks. Good for you man. Always appreciate it when people are willing to give it there all from the get go
ITS crazy woh your videos can inspire me. Iam from germany and i was comming back to Yu-Gi-Oh Just a couple of months ago ... I really struggle with the choice of cards in my decks and what to take in my side-deck ... But seeing you doing thus stuff gives me great motivation to continue on thanks ^^
For the answer to the end card the first card I remember actually owning was a pack that had neospacian air humming bird, i don’t really remember any of the other cards specifically since it was years ago and i lost them a while back, but seeing you do such a great job with a brand new deck makes me want to eventually start building my own deck to play.
Love the documentary side of this channel especially the idea with the card shop, very unique. Keep up the good stuff
I hope to see much more of you, im really enjoying seeing you having fun with the game again. So wholesome.
Man, this is such a wholesome series. I'm so happy seeing new players come into the game or back in the game!
I didn't notice that this is your first 3 videos you have a lot confidence and you are good at edit, music choices, speech and you get to the viewer heart and mind thanks for being here. I would like make a livestream and play with as at a yugioh game and i think that everyone likes to play with a good youtuber and a good person as we see
I am loving the quality, journey, and atmosphere. Great work!!!
Glad to see that my Blue-Eyes deck brought some nostalgia to you. Good video, man.
It was a real pleasure to get to play you and thanks for letting me take forever with the camera lol
hey man. a fan of nyhmnims series, and found yours. ive been trying to get back in as well, while building a sky striker deck. i love the way you film your videos and it may be corny but the way you talk to the camera and everything just makes me feel like you are a friend. and the yugioh community is so kind to returning players as you said. will def be following your videos. good luck friend
Hey, kind of corny is always welcome here. I really appreciate it and I do feel like I'm already making friends with a lot of the community members. So, thank you for joining the journey and I look forward to little chats in the future!
Can't say enough about how good your Channel is bro... I'm coming back after being away from the game for what seems forever.. building A blue eyes deck for nostalgic reasons.. but can't wait to see more from you.
This video is incredibly awesome. I remember when I'm returning to Yu-Gi-Oh! a year ago and still playing PENDULUM!! until now (thanks to Trif). Keep up the good work, man. Can't wait your 1st YCS tournament
How was he going to make Yazi at 7:23? Summoning Destrudo would make the Farfa blow up.
As far as notable decks I started playing with the first wave in 2002, but didn't really understand the game until a short while later. I played with starter decks but didn't really build my own until around 2003 with Starter Deck Pegasus.
For some reason I just loved trying to focus the deck around toons and rituals. I guess young me was just really into that Pegasus roleplay or something lol. Awesome to hear I'm not the only old head coming back to this game so recently! :D
Ruggles is actually magic, he talks to you as if your Infront of him. And his passionate and enthusiastic reunion to Yu-Gi-Oh is so unique and magical compared to some of the others. And also the fact he doesn't make this series all about himself growing, but about his friends shop as well. Love this series already, can't wait for week 3 :D
People can copy you but your a perfectionist you know how to please us. That’s why sealed only yugioh by Nyhmnim was a success. Keep up the good work keep growing as a community and a channel.
-Random Dude
As a dude who plays various Pendulum variants competitively I'm really excited to see you try. It's a fantastic strategy and plays a bit different than most decks out there due to using most of if not your entire hand every turn 1.
Awesome to see u getting back I always go back and forth and I play rouge usually gem knights and been playing weird builds and finding weird techs
The production value is incredible! I can see the love and time you're putting into this series! I will definitely be watching every upload! Would you think about possibly doing some pack openings on the channel as well? I can't wait to see what you have in store! Good luck and welcome back to Yu-Gi-Oh!
So in 2016 Konami released a retrained version of the original Felgrand Structure Deck (Rise of the Dragon Lords) called Rise of the True Dragons Structure Deck.
This structure deck introduced a lot of really cool level 7 or 8 Dragon Support including Divine Dragon Lord Felgrand, Arkbrave Dragon, Paladin of Felgrand, Guardian of Felgrand, Dragon Knight of Creation, Ruins of the Divine Dragon Lords, Return of the Dragon Lords and other cool cards. The original Felgrand Structure Deck was the first deck I ever had, I was barely 7 at the time and I remember getting it for my birthday. Seeing you do all of this really made want to try to get back into the physical aspect of Yu-Gi-Oh! As now I am determined to build the deck in real life thanks to you. Oh btw your series is awesome, the editing is on point, you're calm, straight to the point and you give insights on what you felt about certain thing and why it might matter and I really like that
Wow... Your type of content is addictive. Nice editing skills
The first card I ever got was a Time Thief Redoer, I didn't pull it, but I got from a guy. That gift from him to me, was something special and now I cherish that card. I made my Time Thief deck and now I just love it, and thanks to that one guy I have an even more profound love for this game.
Love stories like this and good for you. Nice that the game has something extra special in it for you
dude I just picked up your videos and I have to say you did not disappoint, your narration is great, editing is on point, I love the little things you add like the breakfast cam the side stories, the compliments to the people you meet and that cheeky shout out to them, mad respect for that btw. You are a true HERO in the yugitubing community, keep it up and get your game on.
A fellow hero enthusiast
Awh, reading that one really made me happy. Thanks, man. I'm defenitly having fun interjecting other little things like breakfast. I want this to be about Yu-Gi-Oh but also a little life vlog too :)
I just gotta say I really love the energy, enthusiasm and positivity! Feels great watching your videos :)
This is so much fun, I love it. Also the fact that you crushed draco twice with heroes makes you my hero.
Cool to see this series... im way behind qnd hopefully can binge through the episodes! I've also been teetering with the idea of rejoining the game. I got curious started looking through the new stuff and fell in love with the art of saryuja... so hopefully I can learn link summoning, and take that bad boy out for a spin. Really like the content. Keep it up!
Loved it , getting back into my self everybody support this guy and share his stuff so we can get a bigger community
Just how good is this quality!?!?
I hope ur friend is able to grow his store bigger and be more successful. I wish u had way more subs dude, this videos are amazing
Thanks man! I have a lot of faith in Mario. He's a great leader for the community and I have no doubt that he'll continue to make the shop better and better :)
I love it when I see people returning to the game. Keep up the good work and remember to always enjoy the game
Bro this is amazing you are blowing up so fast as a yugituber. Great job man editing is great content is fresh and exciting and you just seem genuine which is always nice to see.
It's literally like watching myself a month ago haha!
I really enjoy these videos man glad I found you!
your making me want to play yugioh again so much! keep it going man!
Already impatiently waiting for episode 3 to drop. Binged both this morning. Can’t wait for more and more!
That honestly makes me so happy to read, thanks man :)
Man's drops mad moola for the cards he wants. Such an exciting journey though. Nothing but love for you, Ruggles!
Ruggles, I am starting to rewatch the series and I am now noticing more Belleville locations now that I know you do live in Belleville
This is awesome to see I'm getting back into Yu-Gi-Oh after being out for a few years and I'm really excited to compare our journeys...also on a side note the very first time I got Yu-Gi-Oh cards I was like 8 and me and my uncle got 5 packs each and I pulled a super rare Flame Swordsman it is still my favorite card to this day and I still have it today (in heavy played condition lol)
Haha, nice to hear you even got some use out of it. Flame Swordsman, what an absolute classic
Bro! Props on the video editing! Good clean style. Love it! I’m also getting back into Yugioh. I hadn’t played since 2003! When I was in middle school. I’m looking into the Pendulum cards to be honest. Always loved the whole Magician archetype. Look forward to your content!
This content is really awesome! I also just got back into the game this month and this is really refreshing.
I too have recently been back into ygo, but I lack the funds you have to build so competitively, so I had 3 order of the spellcasters structures that I saved up for slowly to get a good deck going and I too ended up watching Cimooo's how to pendulum summon video lol, I wish you luck in this journey
My notable first cards is from a Structure Deck: Dinosaur's Rage
It came with a Five-Headed Dragon promo (which I still have till this date) and cherished it. I remember summoning Tyrano Infinity and scoring my first match with it with a whooping 6000 atk!
Love the content. All the tips and advices will help future duelists to duel to their limits.
Bro, I love these videos. And I love the dedication for testing. I also love 😍 how soft your locals are. Keep the grind and videos coming. You won't be a scrub for long
Wow this is really cool! I'm glad I found this channel, I'm also planning to return to yu gi oh and run Omni Heroes as well!!
I just want to say that the quality of your videos is insanely good and that you can make it pretty far with a format like this. best of luck!
It's crazy that I'm trying to get back into Yu-Gi-Oh after about 10 years. I was pleased to see someone making a series like this. Keep it up, I'm excited for the next episode.
Love your channel, I can’t wait to see your upcoming videos! First cards I owned was the original Yugi Starter Deck. I ordered it from ToyWiz way back in the day.
your content is amazing! i really like the way you show the matches and talk about all the people that are helping you getting back into the game, also it makes me want to get back too
also im brazillian so just know your videos are reaching other countries, good luck boy s2
Oh man, that's awesome! Love how far reaching youtube can be. Welcome to the community man!
