Wagering our RAREST Yu-Gi-Oh Cards in a Duel! Rare Hunters 11 - Ancient Sanctuary 

*Thanks to Clash Royale for sponsoring the video! Try out the game today on iOS or Android!* 👉🏾 wehy.pe/y/2/TeamAPS A bit of an update on Rare Hunters - We're having a bit of trouble securing the next few boxes we need on eBay (old school boxes are expensive and hard to find) but we do at least have Soul of the Duelist on the way (it introduces ULTIMATE RARES!) so we'll keep our fingers crossed for the rest. Thanks to all of you for any Super Thanks you've given, they really do help out! ❤

We tried a couple new things this episode. What did you guys think of our new cloaks?

It is time for the best progression series even if it takes 7 months for an episode to come out I will still watch it

Have you guys considered switching to a best of 3 format as these duels get more explosive? It might give you more opportunity to experiment with new cards too. Either way loving the series, keep up the great work!

You should try contacting Marik's voice actor and get him to do a lil opening line for each of these videos. Really set the mood.

My favorite part about this series is it perfectly mimics getting Yu-Gi-Oh cards as a kid. You made decks with what you had, no buying triples or googling what cards support your strategy. Just getting what you get and making the most from it. Sometimes you got a sick Ultra, most of the time it was just a pile commons. Been fun to see the transition between fighting to get your beat stick on the field to having to avoid TONS of battle traps and destruction effects. I hope this series keepings going until they reach modern day. I'd watch every episode of that, probably, 80+ part series. If I could make one suggestion; if the life point count will no longer be on the side of the screen under the duelist, could we get the phone facing the correct direction? Depending on the device you watch this on, it can be hard to see who has what.

Lol my guys y’all dropped this episode at the PERFECT time

The CLOAKS! 😂😭 Ancient Sanctuary was a favorite set of mine that I never really got to open any of. End of Anubis was always a card that I got hype to see, but I also love everything to do with Sanctuary in the Sky as well as Warrior of Zera. First time I saw Warrior of Zera was when, I kid you not, Joey used it in an ancient flash game tutorial that was on the official Yu-Gi-Oh! website. Pretty sure it was VOICED by Yugi and Joey’s VA too. Haven’t been able to find it again, so pretty sure it’s gone forever now. I didn’t have any friends at the time, and so I used it to play it a lot 😅 I LOVE Ghost Knight of Jackal! And their big brother, Mystical Knight of Jackal. Putting things back on top of the deck and stopping the opponent from drawing a fresh card blew my MIND as a kid! Kinda surprised at the power level of the commons in this set! Considering the Rare Hunters format, I kinda suspect this might come back around a lot as the series progresses. Something that was pulled that I was semi-surprised got glossed over was King of the Swamp! I think having it in the pool opens up a LOT of possibilities for the future. PAUL WITH THE PRO-SET STORM!? Shame it didn’t pull off but it made me happy. Also thought the Lesser Fiend + Twin Headed Wolf thingy making the jankiest form of floodgate I’ve seen in years was neat! Shame about Mirror Force. I know it’s kind of the face of old Playground Formats but the presence of Solar Flare Dragons in the format I suspect is going to be something that Paul is REALLY gonna have to build around. It’s sort of a real problem! Looking forward to seeing how the format develops. Molten Destruction really put in work this time around. Honestly, all the Field Spells that say “Attribute gets +500/-400” are pretty strong for this sort of play.

Ancient Sanctuary was when Konami tried to scale back the power level of sets and nothing really came close to Invasion of Chaos until Dark Armed Dragon came along.

You guys have no idea how much I look forward to these as this is literally how it was growing and building your deck as sets came out, thank you guys for this!!

literally my fav show on youtube. Prog but with REAL og cards. Love the duels keep it up

Finally Wave Motion Cannon succeeded! I remember this set had so many great commons. The End of Anubis was a force to reckon with, as was Lesser Fiend against the likes of the element battle searchers like Mystic Tomato. One of my favorite cards from this set was The End of Anubis as well as Night Assailant (looping it back to the hand with 2 copies was awesome). Loving the time and effort put into cosplaying and playing it up for the camera! Alec seems to be having a lot of fun with this series.

this series is a epic throwback guys! love the extra effort your putting in for the series as well. Keep it up!

Man, I love this series so much. AST isn't one of my favourite classic sets but I do love Dark Magic Attack and Burst Stream of Destruction!

You guys should pick a card from each other's vault of cards you have enquired over the span of rare hunters as the wager. This would make it more interesting and open up more archetypes.

I get so excited when I see Rare Hunter videos come on. Thanks again guys! Keep it coming!

Rare Hunter Standings: Paul: 5-6 Alec: 6-5 Alec regains the lead and Paul is once again sent to Marik with anticipation of a scolding.

This series has been very nice to watch. Just enough flair to be very enjoyable while not being overtly dramatic. A part of me looks forward to when they continue this series to where the packs that are being opened are things like Power of the Elements and Photon Hypernova. Got a long while for that though.

I'm a fan of the background music that yall used during the pack openings. Also, the new dual camera showing the cards you pull, and your face while pulling them, is great.

I love the cloaks very fitting for this series if you ask me! I also love The End of Anubis because I use it as a side deck against the meta.

This is legit my favorite series out of all the yugitubers so far. Nice job guys. Very nice

NGL. the cloaks instantly skyrocketed my enjoyment of this series. 😂 Keep it up, this is some of my favorite content on RU-vid right now!

2:48 That's the PS2 Bakugan game soundtrack isn't it? That brings back memories man

This was my favorite episode so far. The back and forth was great, wave motion cannon brings back memories

I wore a black druid robe on Halloween in 2006 and watching this with you guys' purple cloaks brought back memories both my costume on Halloween and Season 2 of Battle City Chronicles on Yu-Gi-Oh! The way you guys duel as baddest Rare Hunters brought me joy in my heart that reminiscing the characters is so fantastic to recreate and duel the cards you unpacked and unwrapped to give that feel to the audience. I'm a fan of you guys! Shoutout from NY!

Paul lookin' like a low-budget LARPer. I LOVE THIS SERIES

I like that you decided to go full Rare Hunter cosplay at last. Only makes a great series even better. :3

I love the new capes with hoodies. BTW have you ever considered playing "Poker Yu-gi-oh" with the leftover cards that you don't use in this series? 3 or more of you just assemle just 1 deck (no card limit but more than 50) and each of you draw from the same deck. Starting with 8000 LP each of course and you could even put in fusion monsters in as well just as brick cards. (Basically you draw a card that 99% of the time you can't do nothing with). And it's even funnier if you involve fake cards as well! You should give it a try!

Firstly lets hear it for our Hunters actually looking the part with cloaks! You guys look epic! Second: An excellent duel with a classic ending! I was so hopeful Paul remembered to keep Barrel Behind the Door in the deck but actually, now I can't remember if he or Alec pulled it ages ago. If not either both should think about Pikeru's Circle and other generic heal or damage stops cause it's clear Alec has a taste for the BUUUURRN power. XD Who can blame him? This and Destruction used to be the top two decks people would build around even casually because you don't have to do many combos to win and ironically it's hard to interfere within the era of Yugioh they're in. I remember Lava Golem and Solar Flare Dragon terrorizing all the way up to Synchro era I think when finally outing small burners was easy and there were more monsters with destroy 1 spell or trap on the field effects built into them and of course whole archetypes made based on gaining LP while giving an advantage of field... ...Unfortunately for Paul, he won't be getting on Duel Runner any set soon. ^_^; Still it's cool to see one dangerous deck and one business-as-usual style of deck. Really like Yugioh in old times that way! XD

Woaah!! So generous of Master Marik to give you guys such a cool new drip!!

15:52 when Alec makes that lock the background music gets all crazy 😂🔥✅

This series is definitely popping off. If I had any suggestion I would say when you share your deck list for the episode use a style similar to masterduel/any online ygo emulator for easier visibility. Great video as always guys!!!

I love this series, is great to see how the Game evolution with each expansion. Keep it up with the great work guys.

Paul pulled the young Don Zaloog lol. Good video as always

Rare hunters is one of my favorite series on the channel.

I miss the cutaway interview portions during the duel! Great vid still

Thank you so much for dropping this video today, my brother passed on Christmas and today would of been his 30th birthday, it seemed like a race for who would see the new episode first to send it so we could watch together.

This series is very entertaining. As an old school yugioh player, it's nice to see how the game progressed throughout the years. Hope you guys keep it up. Thank you, good night and take care. BTW, love the channel. Good work from everyone on the team! I'll be sure to keep a close eye on all videos released. Thank you again

I LOVED that you both went with your own theme (FIRE and Fiend) and made the decks work!! Looking forward to what else this series brings!!

As someone who was the scourge of the Yu-gi-oh players in my school with my burn deck being unbeaten in the playground meta of Beatdown decks back in the day, seeing Solar Flare Dragon & Wave Motion Canon in this duel brought back a lot of fun memories. I know I've seen a few requests for best of three matches which while I'd love to see, I understand that the single duels fit the "Rare hunter" gimmick better, but maybe if you wanted you could use best of three's as "season finals" to cap of each "era" of Yu-Gi-Oh? For example one between "Flaming Eternity" & "The Lost Millenium" to mark the transition between Original Yu-Gi-Oh to GX, then the transition from "GX to 5D's bringing in Synchros etc so they would be like a rare event to mark the change to a new era of duelling?

I have both love and hatred for this set. It was the last one my brother and I would get together before he got too cool for Yugioh, but it also had Solar Flare Dragon, a card my friend would torment me with constantly. Good ol playground Yugioh. This series is such a great nostalgia trip keep up the great work guys!

they got the capes!!!!!! love it LMFAO

Can’t take Alec seriously this video, Every time I look at him all I see is the evil Kermit meme 😂

This is literally my favorite yugioh series on youtube!

ibeen wanting you guys to wear those things lol i always say "this series is A1 just need to bring the theme into the filming, dim the lights, place some candles and wear them cloaks mann, you guys are triumphant, congrats

Props to Alex using a Pyro deck. Payne relishing

I like how you guys are embracing the cringe in this. It makes it more fun to watch. Thanks for making a great series and congratulations on the sponsorship from supercell

I usually hate Pot of Greed jokes, but somehow Paul's delivery gets me every time haha. This was a really fun episode! ;D

Haha, I just realized you guys put SMT Nocturne music in the background of the video. Excellent taste as always, gentlemen!

That set Heavy Storm cost Paul the duel. Really reckless. Alec had the better burn deck. Still a fun duel! A fun expensive duel.

Alec really Kamehameha'd Paul successfully for our enjoyment

Crazy Idea, how about we shake things up a bit and introduce something I call Shadow Powers (name can be changed) These powers are once per duel and only 1 can be chosen and can maybe help turn the tides of the duel. They're based on the millennium items. Millennium Puzzle - You/Opponent shuffles their hand into the deck and draws 4 cards Millennium Eye - Look at one random card from your opponents hand and discard it. Millennium Ring - Look at the top 5 cards of your deck and add 1 to your hand, shuffle the deck Millennium Scale - Target 1 face down card and destroy it. Millennium Key - Target 1 of your opponents monsters and take control of it, cannot be used as a tribute and control is given back at the end of your turn. Millennium Rod - Change the battle position of an opponents monster. If its face down flip it face up and negate its effects. Millennium Necklace - Target 1 monster in your graveyard and special summon it to the field ignoring summoning conditions. Please adjust to your liking, I just thought it would be cool like your master giving you a edge in battle.

14:21 “Coool! Hahaaa” you guys are hilarious

Imagine getting mugged by a couple of Rare Hunters and then afterwards they ask for a Superchat or for you to visit their Patreon.

Never clicked a video faster in my life keep it up guys love this series

So the lore is that they are both rare hunters for marik ishtar but instead of duel stealing they just buy a box and then fight for those cards against each other. Very wholesome

Always hype for new episodes of this series.

I don't play yugioh and I have no clue how, but I just love your guys energy and the content. Keep it up fellas!

I just checked earlier today to see if there was a new episode of this. i'm glad it's here!

It is cool seeing how the decks evolved from goodstuff beatdown to actual strategies and themes

This is one of the best series ive seen. IT feela like going through time in the game. Seeing g how decks evolved over time

Loved the cloaks! It was great and really provides us with the rare hunter aesthetics

Pretty happy to see Sangan every time. It's a staple of the series.

These videos have such an insanely high production value, always a pleasure to watch

- Today we will be playing: Alec the Master of Burn. Great episode, guys. ✌

I don’t play Yugioh but absolutely love this series!

Idea! You could sync up with Larry in the Hole and a random drop from the time period is included in the duel wager? Not every time of course, but a special chance? You could do a silly link summoning skit on the series linking up. XD Or apply this to other stuff.

This series deserves more views. Hats off to these lads

I thought I was tripping, but I just noticed the Akira battle theme (or Amala Network theme) from Shin Megami Tensei is playing in the background. It's an absolute banger.

Comecei a jogar yugioh a pouco tempo, não tive a chance de vivenciar essa época, ver esses vídeos me trás uma grande nostalgia, que vocês consigam manter essa série por um longo tempo e muito obrigado

These duels have been amazing. I’ve been going through a lot and seeing you guys duel and have love for the game, even tho I haven’t played in years, always puts a smile on my face. Keep up the good work and I hope you reach 1 million subs soon

Sorry if you thought I was being picky with how long you upload this amazing seres of duels i love how you guys duel and can’t get enough

That Second Sarcophagus is giving ideas for the next Calvin Can episode

Time for ma current fav series. Whipping out my ultra rare microwave popcorn for this

Agent Of Force Mars is fun as a gimmick in a Ra deck, as those tend to go over 8k LP quite often.

The Bakugan battle drawers' music in the background brings back so many memory's.

This is my favorite RU-vid series! Keep it up guys.

Awesome Series, Ghost Knight of Jackal and Needle Burrower are sweet!!!

Still love this series. The old style of dueling its just so nostalgic.

Loved the cloak idea... Loved the episode.. giving the old school cards they're proper respect. Great content guys.

I have never played this game and don’t really know there rules but this series is simply amazing!!! Keep it up!

Nice Megaten music! It's pretty cool when a Team APS video randomly has some fitting but non-YGO game music - I remember a cool Star Fox 1 track was used a while back. Wonder who keeps sneaking those in 🤔

Favorite card was probably Enemy Controller. I also loved how the set started introducing us to the Monarchs

This my new yugiho show to watch when I don't watch the series

Alec at 15:46 you made the biggest miss play ever lol. You didn't attack with the Solar Flare Dragon. You summoned it during battle which makes it able to attack directly. Then you should've went to main phase 2 and got the other Solar Flare Dragon to lock him out. If you attacked then it would've been a little bit faster because paul would've lost 3000LP instead of 1000LP lol.

I absolutely love this series. This brings back waves of nostalgia and years of fun I had with my friends. When Konami drops the reprints of the first sets me and my friends are gonna do exactly this!

YOO The editing in this one is TOP TIER!! Nice job Paul!!!!

Now I remember why I'd forgotten about this set. Love these videos though. Thank y'all for the quality entertainment

Its always fun watching people open these older packs and seeing cards that have been lost to time. Lol

Love this. Nostalgia for days. You guys should get the millennium eye embroidered on your cloaks.

This duel is strikes such a nostalgia nerve for me; I played the Goblin King centered deck and my best friend played the ultimate baseball kid style deck. Thank you guys for reminding the newer generation that the old ways are just if not more fun!

Cmon guys this series has so much potential different, fun and something fresh that can help you hit that Big million. Spend the cash and produce this series faster !!

I literally wait for these episodes 😂

Oh man, some of these cards were in the first (bootleg) deck I bought back in 2005! Well, some of these along with cards from the OCG that didn't show up in the TCG until 2008 or later. Playing bootleg cards was quite the experience back in the day, rocking sixth sense and dangerous machine type 6 on the playground back then was wild Loving the robes btw!

My favorite from the set was Zaborg because I'm a monarch player, but I have a special place in my heart for Archlord Zerato. He was the first single I ever purchased when I discovered a store that sold TCG cards exclusively

Love your guys Rare Hunter series! Makes me wish I could be a kid again and play like this with my friends. I had the OG Duel Disk while everyone else had the Dartz Disks. 😀

Gotta love how they get into character. Just for this segment

God, I love this format.

Needle Burrower 🦂 was another cool classic Yu-Gi-Oh! monster card back then by it's design. Paul & Alec went full Rare Hunter Mode with the purple hood capes.

One of my favourite series on YT, keep it up guys 🤙
