The ORIGINAL 2002 Yu-Gi-Oh Starter Decks! YUGI vs KAIBA! 

Blows my mind how everything is now. I miss the old days badly.

This 100% I downloaded the YuGiOh Master Duel app and I haven’t got a clue what I’m doing as this is the Yugi I know 😐😂

@@1990themule I did too. And I was waiting on a guy for about 15min to finally end his turn. One guy beat me while I was on my MP and BP.

Hard agree, now it's just a race to see who can do their "one turn kill" combo first.

Me: Dark Magician Attack! My opponent: I use this cards special ability to search my deck for this specific spell card and activate it. It banishes 2 of my monsters to fusion summon this other card. It uses its ability to equip a card to attack twice. Because the cards in my graveyards effect, I can draw two cards. I special summon this one card to syncro summon this other card which will..... 4 hours later: And that's why I can now use quantum physics to make your dark magician explode and you take 59573000 damage.

You had a misplay when you activated soul exchange for dark magician. Once you activate the spell card, you have to skip your battle phase

Had all 4 of these decks! Still have most of the cards for each too! Fun fact also, if you had opened that pack and the Blue Eyes was 1st edition, you would’ve had a $700 Blue Eyes in your hands. I unfortunately do not have the 1st edition Blue Eyes either, so looks like we both have a $48 card.

I know I do. Hell it doesn't even have to be this far back. I could live with playing on the level of the early synchro or xyz era. At least the power levels back then felt more reasonable and there were less handtraps.

I miss this yugioh so much🥺

soul exhange does target play master duel if u dont believe me

back when they were released you and your friend could buy them (they were cheap once) and instantly have so much fun playing the game... nowadays its a different story

@djolo5140 you can still play like the old days with your friends, it's just not meta

except, you can't because nowadays you have to go to university and read a book to understand one card of your deck and you usually have 40+@@k1ngkaos252

C’Mon Tribute Summon 2 Monster is not That Hard

Eu só me pergunto,o que a troca de almas estava fazendo no deck cujo monstro às era do protagonista, quando sabemos que essa é uma carta do antagonista?🤔🤔🤔 Poisé,a Konami humilha o olhos azuis.

real yugioh is summoning a full board of strong monsters, not stalling for fucking 30+ turns just cause you can't draw a pathetic vanilla garbage monster to hide behind for even more turns

@@EBlade3529 you ain't lying

@@EBlade3529 Can we have something in between? Because modern Yu-Gi-Oh still takes this long, just with less turns.

Well not really that but like ore no taan Doro. Battle ox shokan. Kaado ichi mai setto. Taan endo.

@@nicbentulan BORING

Yeah even in the very first tcg format games were still fast with back and forth. Whenever I play this format with friends monsters never stay on the field for more than a turn lol. You've got soul exchange, dark hole, raigeki, fissure, trap hole, wall of illusion, man eater bug and change of heart which can all turn the game around

I wouldn't say this era was fast paced, but it was more interactive and back and forth.

It was a better way to play but Kunami had to change it up.

@@sheeplehunter505 Change your profile pic thats offensive.

​@@benjaminposacki7060 I don't think they're gonna listen to you just because you say it's 'offensive'

Right? I love those moments when both players are trying to top-deck!

This is the Yu-Gi-Oh that Gen Z hates... Pfft

@@traincore1955 because it's boring, just stall for turn which ain't fun at all

@@EBlade3529 Ah yes, you prefer the method of: both players throw their deck on the battlefield and the winner with the biggest pile wins. So much fun...

That's what made yugioh so fun back was the back and forth play and the turns of having to stall till u drew something. Yea it is fun to blow ur load turn 1 but a good grind duel is always so much better

Yep I had four of them got them at twenty dollars each

No sdk blue eyes? :( I have 3, but none are 1st ed. They shouldn't be too hard to get online

@@nicholasfleischhauer191 never liked blue eyes personally always preffered red eyes, my absolute favourite was the Winged dragon of Ra, and I have 3x 1st edition ghost rares of him, my favourite playing card in circulation full stop

Same. This was one of the main reasons I got into speed duels and did so starting with the GX Duel Academy box set.

Yeah I have been looking for speed duels but there havent been any stores with them

I can still smell that KB toys carpet and if i close my eyes I can reach out and grab a starter deck from the cardboard shelf display!

Thus began your life as a duelist

My grandma bought me both of them because she forget which one I asked for when I went to the store. grandmas are the best. I remember I had so many friends mad when I would summon both DM and BWD.

Still hate how Starter Deck Kaiba only contains a single Blue-Eyes, when it should be 3. But then, players would see that Kaibas deck is much better as Yugis and he only wins cause of random ass-pulls and they cant touch the main char of course. F*ck Plot Armor

Soul exchange cannot conduct battle phase

Well they a lot more than 10 there like 100

They need to re-release these

@@gothicfemboy428 They were only 10 dollars when they came out. Now they're value went up.

@@user-iz5ki3jt3c and 19,99€ in europe

If only we all knew what it would be

Who’s the character in your profile picture?

@@lamp6909 Elesis from the korean game Elsword

Sound like old man.

@@Newworld-gk6us many yugioh players still love old school, there is nothing wrong with this...

Remember when a 2000 defense monster could brick your opponent for a few turns? Lol I love how simple things were an not many monsters had effects and the ones that did weren't insanely overpowered like the crap we have these days, this video is the definition of dueling

@@Newworld-gk6usYou sound like a try hard edgelord.

Build a cube and make it so with like minded players.

yea.. im pretty sure ¨you¨ means owner of the card, usually older cards said you or your opponent´´ to specify

The original printing said: "At the cost of 500 Life Points per monster, a player is allowed an extra Normal Summon or Set." The rulings on it were all over the place, but it was interpreted back then that either player could use the effect of Ultimate Offering.

Also think Ultimate Offering was used wrong. Most cards don't have effects both players can utilize beyond field spells. The text of Ultimate Offering states "You can pay 500 life points." You being the owner of the card as it doesn't state either player may use this effect.

@@davidkeller7031 That is only with the current errata. They were playing straight OG card effects, I think.

Oh yea you are right

@@Will_Forge no he's still right. it says during your main phase or the "opponent's" battle phase, he can use it. the other player shouldn't be able to.

@@Will_Forge either errata wouldn't allow the opponent to do that

The amount of original 2002-2006 yu gi oh cards i bought man i be one wish ass millionaire right now.

Especially when you consider the absurd prices all 4 of those starter decks go for these days on ebay

i agree

hey.. don't i know you from somewhere? 🤔

agree, im a new player and i actually learned a lot from this guys

Jaja lol good one

yeah the fun thing about oldschool Yugioh is that 95% of cards were total garbage but the remaining 5% are hilariously broken plot armor cards from the anime which have only become more broken in today's game and are all banned

That card is super strong as back then their just wasn't that many ways to special summon a monster.

I believe one mistake was made, however, with a summon during a player’s battle phase instead of their main phase or their opponent’s battle phase.

Then i must have been terrible because i could never beat my cousins kaiba deck with my yugi deck. Those were the days

Not me. I was Red-Eyes all the way.

Yeah yugi got all the meta removal for the time.

Only because Yugi starter deck had Summoned Skull

@@chrisshorten4406 I took all the high def and tribute and trap cards and made a deck lol

Like the 4-way battle Royale from Battle City

Me too

? I got these decks for 10 bucks a each.

They are about $100-115 a piece

@@CatPhil good joke

@@YouSawThatHuh No way these original are that price i thought it was around 400

See I was thinkin that too! Like you tribute they stuff but you don't get to use it till the next turn. Old Yugioh was really balanced and about taking your time to think ahead. Not as 'oh you stepped into my trap so I fusion using Super Poly on your turn and use your whole field! Now you can't respond and I'll be able to attack you for game." as the TCG now.

@@davefreeman5837 Yarp, I stopped playing not too far into XYZ release after Absolute Zero was released because I couldn't take it anymore.

@@TheFluffiestZinogre stopped playing after GX. My buddy, his brother, and I have thousands of the older cards. I own them all now so we play GOAT'ish format with the inclusion of up to 2010 or so.

@@Kryynism That's pretty cool. I've been tempted to buy the gx speed duel boxes just because they seemed like a lot of fun and the nostalgia was hitting just right

@@TheFluffiestZinogre me too actually

Do you know magical scientist? Either you have like 2 generations of Yugioh or the state of today. Today is much better compared to either have no game at all (what would have happen if this cards were the only ones since the years) or the really op cards in the early games.

Yeah, I swapped to MTG shortly after XYZ's came into the game, I can't imagine trying to learn the current state of yugioh, its gotten nutty.

so you're saying pot of greed, delinquent duo, cyber jar, imperial order, that grass looks greener, return from the different dimension, and graceful charity (OG yugioh cards mind you) are balanced? your comment is a joke

I always never understood why people make that argument. Of course it makes sense that cars become op over time if you're looking at like some of the most powerful Staples now versus the most powerful Staples then there's definitely going to be a huge deviation. Or even just Dex in general. If you look at it from set to set because it's a slow power creep but if you compare it now until then of course it's going to be a huge difference because they want a car to be better okay they give it more powerful effect and then the next time they release a card similar to it it's more powerful because they want to make you buy the new stuff of course power creep is going to become a thing

@@lethalButters bro in the original Bandai OCG duel monsters (not yugioh) you can literally summon Dark Magician, Summoned Skull, and Blue-Eyes without tributing. That's where the anime got its rules. Also if you destroyed a monster with you monster but it's DEF was lower than the destroyed monster's attack, your monster dies too. Also, dragon capture jar was a monster card at one point.

I noticed that too. The first was the 5th by the way it stacked up lol.

Yea good point, failed battle

Ah, I should have scrolled further into the comments before saying the same.

I thought the same immediately lol

reminds me when my brother and I got two starter decks and dueled all night.

check out 'Edison' format. It's 2010 yugioh not long after syncros we released. Its pretty popular and you have back and forth games.

I SMELL SOME CHEATING

@@zennozangetsu1164 lol, a lil bit of planning behind the theater curtain you say

@@joeyhoward-williams8853 yes

He failed to destroy Lord of D the turn after with Maneater Bug' effect.

Didn’t lord of d protect blue eyes from the soul exchange anyway?

@@BondingleStudios honestly, that’s how I used to play back in the day too. Not sure why they thought that it doesn’t “target” the specific monster so you’re allowed to destroy blue eyes.

@@mikes_tcg_collectibles4836 technically, it's true. I've seen a video about how confusing "targeting" is in yugioh, and they specifically said how, officially, soul exchange doesn't target... I don't know why, but they're following the rules there

If you think that's bad, ultimate offering only works for the player who plays it... not both.

Also doesnt soul exchange prevent you attacking also the turn you use it.

was just gonna mention that, glad not the only one that noticed

Soul Exchange also targets.

That soul Exchange was a real criminal

Same man, Neo was my fricken Avatar card!

@@CanadianCrits It's my PSN profile picture. (Not my avatar though, a shame)

@@sebastiancawsey5024 Respect man, man, that's awesome!

To bad it would be too complicated to make a video where they have a duel like bakura in yami yugi during duelist kingdom where everyone played their favorite card

@@TechMeister-1993 Yeah, I'd bet if they had Corridor's help they could pull it off. An anime series with a similar concept would be pretty awesome too!

If by true duels, you mean misplays and cheating, then sure.

I played a Relinquished/Crab Turtle ritual deck back in the earliest days. Its funny how similar the 2 monsters look too -thats kinda why i chose to play it. And the 2550 Crab Turtle could take out the DM, Summoned Skull, Red-Eyes, and many other boss monsters. throw in some Nimble momongas, Bad reaction to simochi, Dian ketos, and things... I was a mad lad.

No. The card specifically says "you". Perhaps it's... anime rules? But then they'd be able to normal summon more than once so idk. I think they both had a brain fart. Edit: lol idk what's going on, dude just tribute summoned during battle phase
