We went into this set expecting to not be very impressed, but Alec ended up kinda liking the Maliss cards and I might just build Ryu-Ge, so you win, Konami! 😆
I’m on the fence abut building Maliss, Im still tuning my white forest deck and my friends have now fully pulled me into magic so the pockets are feeling the impact. I’d like to see you guys play Ryzeal vs Maliss though at least.
Also, the Ryu-Ge are based on the behemoth, leviathan, and Aziz in Hebrew myth which also is coincidentally what the weather trio in Pokemon are based on. Though the color schemes are a little too close to be coincidental LOL. I mean let's face it, the upgraded Dragon form is basically Arceus.
I see waifu, I play waifu. Plus it's a deck around one of my favourite books growing up. FYI regarding the traps: they are named after acronyms based on phrases in specific chapters from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. GWC-06 Grin Without a Cat (Chapter VI) MTP-07 Mad Tea Party (Chapter VII) TB-11 Three Blasts (Chapter XI)
With how many Ryu-Ge cards you pulled, I was really hoping you'd pull the Ritual Pendulum! Paul, don't worry about not liking Pendulum. It's only 1 and doesn't do Pendulum stuff at all. It's kinda like Nemleria. Konami really doesn't want to make real Pendulums again!
They are malware Waifus made by Mad Hacker, so of course they'd be cyberse. Even though Mad Hacker isn't as new, i hope he gets card sleeves or some amount of merchandise to be a mascot embodying then all. I love his design.
Eh, the Rare thing is such a half step. I'll be interested when all cards come in low rarity and high rarity. Then the people who just want to play the deck on a budget can, while those who want it all shiny can chase after the high rarities.
@@apsamplifier I'm picking up a Maliss deck for next format so I've been looking at the prices, the Field Spell and White Rabbit are pricey but everything else is pennies which is really nice, but good pulls overall, hope to see you guys try out the new strategies, they're really fun!
So fun fact about th Maliss traps like tb-11 each of them actually correspond to a specific point in the Alice in wonderland story. It's Chapter 11 and TB is Three Blasts referencing White Rabbit's trumpet. Basically it is a very hidden Easter egg that most people will not catch. You have to know your lore
Alex: That is the major change there Actually Alex that's wrong, the major change is that the original card had the plushie you see there while the english one had a ham
The 5 card packs, were all holo. They went to 9 when they stopped making all the cards holo. I'm guessing 9 cards packs would reveal how little is Common in this set, via duplicates in each pack.
The prices for these cards are crazy! I preorder a booster box for $80 cad and now they're selling the booster box for $94 cad at my local card shop. o.o
I miss the days when there were generic splashable cards in sets. It kinda sucks that every card now has to be part of an archetype so if you're building a deck, it's pretty much guaranteed that the majority of cards you'll pull are useless for you.

I hope the box prices end up stabilizing to something cheaper than what they are now. I would love to try building Maliss
Thanks for opening a box for us! I still really wish they kept the Malice name :(
facts the upside down A was really cool
Thanks for posting an opening! Dunno if something's up with the camera but the video did not flip when Alex was opening the second half.

Superdimensional Robot Galaxy Destroyer is a target for the rank 4 Dreadnought water boat, cheats him out
5:04 The "Red Queen" and "White Rabbit" clearly has Alice in Wonderland vibes.
Omg the Maliss card art has cute borders!!! I wish they’d be cheap, I’d love to deco them

When Alex was opening the packs why didn't you flip the camera in editing
Paul even mentions it at 17:47, rip our necks lol
Better to lock your screen and turn it upside down so Paul and Alec are upside down :)
@@sinmethodical1837Thats what I did XD
Flip effect was negated.
You should have a Crossover breaker themed duel now.
The malice archetype not being a branch of sky strikers is frustrating lol they look almost exactly the same art wise
Those Maliss pulls were huge, field spell is atleast 40$ on TCGPlayer right now
Oh really?! Well thanks! I actually have no clue what some of those cards are going for right now lol

oh I never thought about that, I was wondering why they all had very unintuitive names on the traps.

🙂 17:40 🙃 25:11 🤕
Man do i miss when my evilswarm deck was in the meta. So much fun
Got some pretty good pulls from this box, including a Collectors Rare White Binder. 🎉
Cool set

Please make a Ryu-Ge deck cause I’m an Hoenn fan and the little kid duelist in me wants the big kaiju monsters to be relevant and competitive
A Maliss anime would go so hard.
You should buy 2 boxes and then build decks from them and battle, would be fun to watch🤩
Paul please tell me what you are drinking at 17:50 ?!!?!
It's called Chargel
Can yall do a duel with ryzeal and maliss
They're just so expensive... 😭
I bought all of the Ryu ge cards for less than 10€. If they ever get support I already have everything here but I try to cook with them anyway.
I heard Ryzeal might be mid and I'm thankful. More metabots for me, for cheap!
Unfortunately, it just won a YCS...
Ryzeal looks just like a digimon
If I remember correctly Maliss are all viruses and the main monster names are all a fusion of Alice in wonderland and a malware name

@@Chimeratech8 this is a deck building set specifically
well the latest meta decks run 23 handtraps which are technically generic splashable cards in every deck 🤷♂
@@gabandrant4958 Let's be fair. This isn't far off from main sets. Just replace the reprints with pack filler, and some generic chase cards.
That's the point of a deck build set. They've very much 1 of 3 decks
The Next Yu-Gi-Oh POWERCREEP is in this Box.
I got to have a tier one deck for 3 weeks. 😢
After watching the podcast I was expecting some better quality mics, but glad they are just as entertaining on their main channel.
Upside down 🤨
