Reacting to the WORST Yu-Gi-Oh Guide on YouTube 

Remember, in order to play Yu-Gi-Oh you will need a deck and an opponent. Then you decide who wins. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

This is so wrong, we all know as YuGiOh players, we don't read. Or learn our own decks.

The part where he points at people for a duel should be used more commonly 🤣

6:30 place all the cards face up on the field and decide a winner... this video was so forward thinking. they predicted modern yugioh really accurately.

I remember getting my deck wiped by a guy using Dream Clown because "my clown goes into your monster's dream and kills it in it's dream." Dude was straight up Freddy Krugering me

I would love to see a Yu-Gi-Oh style duel with dramatic movements and lots of yelling, but realistic to how the game is actually played today

Ahh yes, I played some duels alone against myself too... Even pretending that I don't know what the set cards are so I can have a more exciting game... The good old days

"Ok so today we'll teach you how to duel" "First learn how to duel"

4:33 - my mans face is about to LOL so hard, he's trying to hold every bit of laughter back. U can just tell by the expression. XD

"Weird why have Yugioh players not found this video." "Most of their content involves improving kissing." Ah well that explains it.

Ah, I remember the good old times when I played Yu-Gi-Oh completely all by myself. It feels like it was yesterday... Well, the reason for that might be that it actually was yesterday. 😅

Once I saw them say to read your cards, I knew that the video was made by a non-Yugioh player and that it would not actually help to make you a pro. Sorry man, but keep up the great content.

In early college, my friends and I created a "yugioh solitaire" to test decks and practice. We basically would flip a coin or roll dice to determine if a response/play was made by the opponent and what it was. It didn't nessisarily specify decks or cards but would focus on common results from plays in the current meta. We would tend to favor the opponent in generalizations since we wanted more of a challenge to test/practice by. For instance, we would recognize cards like solemn judgment being a common staple so a similar negation might be a possible response but no lifepoint cost or limits to how often it could show up in the game were implemented. It was up to the dice ratios to be somewhat fair. The concept would become more detailed over time as specific scenarios were discovered but typically still relied on the similar dungeons and dragons style mechanics to determine the opponents plays, reactions or lack of. Lots of little tweaking occurred and it was far from a flawless system but was still fun and challenging! Clearly we transitioned once free online options where one could build a deck from any existng cards was available but it's still fun to reminisce about! I remember building agressive decks that had a million responses and back up options to compete with bad luck on the RPG rolls/flips then finding my deck was way too proactive in defending agaisnt other decks that were more defensive themselves. Haha

Modern yugioh definitely has that “both players reveal their hands and decide who wins” when if the player going second doesn’t have two hand traps and droplet, the player going first kinda just combos till the other player scoops.

This is obviously the best yu-gi-oh tutorial on the internet. It's super comprehensive and tells you everything you need to know about playing the game. Except of course, for how to play the game.

If this was an actually effective yugio guide, it would be longer than a minute and a half

Video idea. Get people who don't know Yu-Gi-Oh to open packs and build you decks. (with some stipulations like must have a certain number of spell cards and level 4 or lower monsters)

I would want Tristan Taylor to teach me how to duel he taught Yugi everything he knows about dueling

I remember trying to ask around about what makes a good deck. I never knew as a kid, but I'd see people pull out huge plays because of their deck's synergy. Mine just had decent traps, spells, and cool looking monsters. My neighbor Tre would always wipe the floor with us and explained he and his dad would enter and win most local tournaments and could give me tips on how to build a deck based on the cards I had. They weren't very impressed..

Bruh, I don't know what you're talking about, but my bois Ethan and Bradley were a true pair of duelists whose lessons taught me the true meaning of dueling.

Ah yes the memories of dueling yourself and trying to not be biased towards one deck xD

From now on, every single duel shall be initiated by menacingly pointing at your opponent.

I am willing to say I play yugioh by myself and I love watching your guys videos and the skits make me laugh every time

A moment in this video actually makes me think. Have yall ever done a tag team duel video? I don't recall ever seeing one, and I'd love to see yall do some tag duels at some point

I liked the editing style on this video. Keep up the good work Paul 💪🏾

0:13 wait what? I thought everyone agreed that it was extremely good for the time and even taught us to sleave our cards and buy singles. What's with the change in opinion?

Hi Paul, could we get a 4-way duel with 4 of you guys using a Yugi, Kaiba, Joey & Marik deck against each other? It would be amazing!

That unofficial dvd was legit so much better, they show an example of a duel and teach many of the mechanics and interactions in the game, this one is basically: "Get a deck and play the game! You don't know the rules? Just read them lol"

Ah yes, I remember this video. I watched it years ago when I was starting to get back into the game and wanted to learn how to actually play. Needless to say the only really useful things I got from it was to point at people to challenge them and to throw my cards across the table and storm off when I lost

1:45 - 100%. sometimes I would even play my ygo deck vs my magic deck. the rules made no sense in those duels

Has Team APS ever made a guide to playing Yu-Gi-Oh! ? I feel like that'd be a good video.

I remember dueling myself and the feeling of winning and losing at the same time felt so strange.

I’ve been really enjoying your videos recently do you think you’re whole team can do a tournament but you have the main character decks or even protagonists- keep up the awesome work Chur from New Zealand

Don't feel bad I still will play a tcg solo mostly for deck testing but sometime ya want to play a game and no one is available. Also, love the channels content. Started with the theme duels and now I enjoy all of team aps content. Keep up the good work guys.

The kids in the part where they were pointing at each other were like "DIO!" And "JOTARO!"

When I was living in Japan I kinda had to play both decks because I didn't have anyone to play with because everyone there was on the OCG.

This shows we need a Team APS skit where they're dueling as if it's a Pokémon battle 😛

I absolutely played against myself when I was a kid. I also had a HORRIBLE understanding of the rules when starting out and thought you couldn't attack directly if the opponent had a back row, which led to some very long games.

When I was a kid, I went with 20/15/5 for the ratio. Then again I also focused more on theme decks than anything else so I wasn't exactly very good. I even made a Pyramid of Light deck for fun.

6:32 My friends and I used to do something similar to this. Basically what we did was play War with Yu-Gi-Oh cards. Monster with higher attack beats monster with lower attack, trap cards beat monster, spell beats everything, and if there's a tie we go again.

I played way to many yugioh matches agents myself in my room and not gonna lie I was an undefeated champion, because I played like Pegasus with the millennium eye from the TV show.

I still do mock games with my magic edh decks everytime I make a new one or make changes to one just to see how they run.

2:10 If I can't use dice for counting counters, why would I be able to substitute a dice for a coin toss on cards that specify tossing a coin?

The part with the "I win" I feel is going to show up in a team APS out of context video 😆

The part about dueling against yourself is so accurate to the point that I'm doing it as I watch this video lol

6:30 *''AHHHH''* _I really felt that bro..._

I actually remember watching this video guide back when it came out. I still laugh at how it's no longer relevant to this day.

Just bought some sleeves for my cards but when trying to put the deck upright in the deck zone the top cards slide off. What make sleeves do you guys use and where do you get them? :)

Man Paul you ain’t never lied a bridge shuffle would make me lose it either shuffle my deck like how they do on the anime, or cut or something

The jokes were pretty funny, especially the one where you were pointing at Alec while pokemon music was in the background. I think those kinds of jokes would make more commentary based videos more entertaining!

2:08 I keep a half-dollar in my deck box for flipping purposes. I know people roll dice, but honestly, I kinda get a weird satisfaction from flipping a metal coin, and the size of a half-dollar makes flipping a bit easier than with a quarter or whatnot. I can't stand plastic coins either. Those do not flip well. So yeah, I don't mind saying I flip a coin in yugioh, as well as roll dice.

That’s how my girlfriend and I decide on intimacy every night: the winner of the coin flip choose to either challenge or receive.

Honestly I did that too, playing against myself but I remember taking it a step further and acting like the characters from the anime because I was using a kaiba deck and a Pharo deck 😅

1:38 dude same, still kinda do if I got no one to break in a new deck for both YuGiOh AND Cardfight Vanguard! The United Sanctuary's Paladin Clans are amazing followed by the Dragon Empire's Kagero Dragon Clan!

That 'place the cards face up and determine who wins' was probably just a super generalized way to briefly touching on battle because they summoned a monster, and you would compare monsters to see which would win in a battle.

Omg! We had a 10 VS 10 game once at college! I was still super new to the yugioh scene again and had a crappy old deck! I only remember it being as amazing as it was because I used Time Wizard when we were super close to losing...and won the coin toss! We completly nuked the field on their side and sent soooo many monsters to the GY at once. It was the most amazing comeback! That was the ONLY reason we won and it was kind of beautiful! We did quite a few awesome free for all multi-duels and team duels but NOTHING quite compared to that one. Haha It felt so good making the winning play after dragging the team down with my sucky old deck.

Awesome seeing you at DreamCon bro! Yal inspire me

I still play both decks. It's perfect for testing. Gonna do it with my Cardfight Vanguard decks later tonight.

2:15 most people don't use coins for Pokemon now a days to. Usually head is an even number, and tails is odds.

This video has taught me the fundamentals of dueling. They did miss out on believing in the heart of the cards which is the most important part of dueling 😆

First off, good vid. Now for my completely vid-unrelated Yugioh question: Went scrounging through my old toys and found a beat up LOB BEWD (like, BEAT UP. Got 2 SDK's and a SKE as well) and my 2005 Duel Disk. Should I proudly display these prominently in my room? thx

New sub here. I never played Yu-gi-oh, nor seen the anime, but your content is gold. Thanks

this is like that episode with yugi vs pegasus when hes like IF YOU CAN READ MY MIND I WONT LOOK AT MY C ARDS then it shows how yugi memorized every card in his deck as if thats something unique to only yugi lol

The 2 kid from that DVD: "Finally... a worthy opponent! Our Duels will be legendary!"

6:40 We used to do that cause I would play with a friend and we scrounged up all cards I could find, some were japanese or english back when we didn't know english (not my native language), so we would often just "assume" the effects based ont he picture. Like Traphole means when you play a monster, it gets destroyed, but fissure (since it looks like someone climbing out of a hole) ment the monster would climb back out and not be destroyed and stuff like that. Good times.

I missed these kind of videos

You guys should all film an actual Yugioh tutorial guide using some modern structure decks, and doing a skit like how the older beginner tutorial videos used to explain the game.

This video was so ahead of its time. The winner is determined on the first turn these days.

Ah, I'm late to the video. Only recently discovered this channel. I'd love to see a video where you compare a 1.0 manual to the most recent manual.

Hey Team APS, I was wondering if you could make a Duel Video using the deck "CodeBreaker".

Also it reminded me of the money in megs closet too LOL 😆

Haven’t seen much of the video yet but it’s gonna rough when finding an opponent is step 2 not step 1. Also where do you get that shirt?! It’s sick and I want one so bad!

The episode of the anime where the flotation ring thing is destroyed and the monsters are trapped and destroyed made more sense

That old 2000s Yu-Gi-Oh guide vid was a good guide xd

I would like to see a video where members of aps duel of each other with inner monologues! 😅😂

"reading the card explains the card" - the prof

You should make your own version of this HowCast video that would be hilarious

Paul, you weren't alone (although still physically alone) when it comes to solo games in your bedroom as a kid lol

They literally predicted the "start the duel. Both players reveal their hands. Whoever has more ways to interrupt their opponents combo wins" meme

I loved the first skit y’all did. Draw five then lay them out on the board. I win. Classic

Man, i haven't seen that channel in forever. I feel old now

The best guide video was cow chops yugioh duel, i will never forget that one. masterpiece level of comedy

it might be along time now, but does anyone know what table they are using or something similar in minute 6:31, it would make dueling a lot easier in my current space of playing

I didn’t know I’ve been finding opponents wrong this whole time my life is a lie

Step 5 makes no sense. Use a rule book to determine who wins. However they also put a rule book is optional in the beginning of what you need. Although that's the best way as you play Yu-Gi-Oh is just throw all my things face up and say I win. Just like playing war apparently.

Me at the end of that tutorial: I'm going to be the very best that no one ever was.

"Place all cards face up and decide a winner." Sounds like gouki format lol

Waiting for a new "How to play Yugioh!" from Team Aps

I really liked the mix of talking and skits, this was a fun one!

we really need How To Basic to make a How To Play Yu-Gi-Oh video, it would be amazing

Ha ha ha 😂 love that part were you said that the kids look like there getting ready for a pokemon battle except there saying duel .

6:30 Unless that hand had all 5 pieces of Exodia. LoL.

Gasp 😱 they have the original Yugioh black card sleeves. Those are hard to find nowadays 1:08

What folding table is that, I need it.

I’ll see y’all from the finals of the next big tourney,but first,gotta slide through Walmart to grab my starter Yugi deck

Me and my friends would make up card effects that often negated everything and destroy stuff so we mainly played a 100 card main deck

How about have an updated tutorial video? Especially for those that don’t understand the concepts of the new formats

i like how the GBA game sacred cards had the supereffective mechanic like earth would beat thunder beat water beat fire beat plant beat wind beat earth dark beat light beat fiend beat dream beat dark so a random weak monster can killa blue eyes cos type advantage

Idea for an APS vid. You guys should do a min and half video on how to play but make it entertaining and accurate. Lol

I'm hoping for more cartoons reviews and you can watch the new Meat Canyon one and the Ricepirate one
