Yu-Gi-Oh! 51 Tips Every Player Should Know 

How’d they get me in this video??? Oh no, I’ve been CLONED!!!!

3:26 "talk openly with your opponents" me: I think my wife is cheating on me opponent: Uhmm, I special summon thunderdark

Best advice, Never feel pressured and always take as much time as you need to read a card. Doesnt matter if it's meta and everyone should know or if it's old and forgotten. Read the cards.

Don’t accidentally steal your opponent’s kaijus

*Hey guys! Hope you all enjoyed this compilation video. Everyone showed up for it, so we got over 50 tips crammed in here! Try to learn somethin', will ya?* 😃

Another tip: Complaining about card prices doesn’t make the cost go down.

This was my first full edit of a video. I hope there weren't too many mistakes!

Extra tip: Don't be afraid to ask for New Support for your favourite archetype. Nobody should be able to stop you from voicing your own opinion. Day 360 of waiting for New Volcanic Support to arrive

Hidden tip: If you are losing a duel, stand on the edge of a castle and threaten to jump off of you lose.

During one of my first locals I found a guy who managed to get the exact same hand both rounds, I realised after I hadn't cut his deck as he hadn't cut mine (I was new and terrified). Turns out he is well known for cheating, stealing etc

One tip more ! Respect other cards from ur opponent.. if U want Reading his card take carefully his card and read it and then give it carefully Back! Or in his Graveyard etc.

Hidden tip: -You win the game by stoping your opponent from playing Yu-Gi-Oh

Which tips did you guys really take to heart or never considered before?

The tip about reading your own cards ended up being surprisingly applicable, since I ended up changing around a couple decks that I’d made recently because I hadn’t read the effects closely enough Don’t be like me, who played too many copies of Performapal Longphone Bull because he didn’t realize it couldn’t search Pendulums

3:08 Tip: If your opponent has no psychical translation for a card, don't hesitate to call over a judge. 6:38 Tip: With that same mindset, reflect on your wins strategically, as well because that way you can also determine and works best for your deck and what does not. Year 5 of Ulti-Cannahawk of Ulti-Cannahawk still limited on the F & L list. 🐦⚡

One of my friends who passed away I think 3 or 4 years ago, actually supported his locals in a very different way. He'd go out and buy the employees who worked there lunch when he could as well as buying products. So you can do a little bit more when you support locals.

Real talk, I haven’t played yugioh in years but I love this channel. All of you guys seem like really genuine chill dudes. It’s what keeps me coming back!

I just supplied 7 of those tips. Who knew we'd have so many by the end? How insightful do you think I sounded😁?

"Your opponent will play whatever HE wants!" 🤣

12:49 is the best tip, play what You want! Since Yugioh 5Ds Blackwings were my favorite Deck so I am still playing Blackwings ♥️ Sometimes I even play oldschool Blackwings without the new stuff, just for the Anime feeling

Pro tip: rules don't apply if you have enough money* *brought to you by Kaiba Corp*

Trell should have his own podcast or something, he’s a really down to earth guy who seems to know his stuff.

I needed this. It felt all you guys just came together, sat my ass down, and gave me the talking to I needed as a player. Thanks.

Time in round is such a critical thing to be cognizant of. Having to decide when to play it out and when to go to the next game is something some players have difficulty with because they feel they can turn some games around and waste time trying. These are great tips. Love the content you guys provide for the community. Definitely has inspired our channel. Keep it up!

Such wholesome advice here. I appreciate the hell out of this channel, and you guys. My group of friends and I recently got back into playing, and we’ve been doing duel nights for months. I discovered that I really enjoy the Utopia Archetype along with my Synchrons/Warriors. Been playing them since middle school (2010). Never give up on your deck, always make a play, even if you’re going to lose, and keep a good attitude regardless. I loved the video guys, and my friends and I are definitely going to a local tournament. No archetype is bad, it’s just how you play your cards. Get your game on guys.

Tip : There is no "better version" of a deck : you have to replace card depending of other decks. A card is really good against your deck ? You have to put something for pass it

In my opinion you guys provide the best yugioh content on RU-vid. I watch most yugitubers trying to get back in the swing of things after not playing since gx was a thing and I always enjoy your content. It's fun, helpful, intriguing and informative. I plan on attending a local tournament soon and you guys are to thank. Thank you for all that you do to help the community, and to help teach newish players like myself. It's appreciated. Keep on making that "amazing yugioh content".

12:50 thank you guys. i really needed to hear this after the "best player at locals" told me rokkets were bad and i shouldn't play them. and then they top the uds...

i will call a judge if my opponent doesnt get it when i make a yugioh reference during a match

Love it when the whole squad is in 1 video

I do agree...i am just sad in my country we dont have tournaments and locals.. only friends playing...you guys are the best..keep going

4:00 Great advice mate. it's just a game, and human respect come's first

Thanks for the tips. Especially about using searches before draws.

Cheap Cards to pick up as a the “spice” tech. Non-fusion area. Chain to instant fusion, invocation, shaddoll fusion, el shaddoll fusion, and force out the super poly in standby phase. It’s continuous so if you main 3 copies in true Draco, you can use the trap as tribute fodder.

9:35 found the vet. You guys are awesome. Can't wait to see more content from y'all.

Trell giving life advice out here. Ight time to do this.

Well I have been a long-time follower of you guys back when you weren't even all together and weren't filming with all the team! But I really do appreciate how you guys have grown over the and become something amazing for a lot of Yu-Gi-Oh players to be able to learn from. And the best tip I can give you is to just be yourself because when we try to be like, everybody else then we are an unhappy person because we are not being ourselves! Also when it comes to deck building, which can be very dauntingand downright scary sometimes because you think what you're playing is going to do good but it never does because you don't see the game in the right way, to allow your deck to become the strongest it can become LOL

I would like to say I really appreciate this video I'm not a new player I started in 2014 took a break and came back In 2018 and was not confident with how I was playing the game I am now more confident and watching this video taught me "yugioh common sense" that can really help people, new or returning, and encourage then to play more hand have even more fun So thank you APS I appreciate the information and support (Apologies for the long comment trying to show my appreciation😁)

I'm only just getting into Yugioh from the anime, and these videos are really helping me understand this game and the community a lot better. Thank you :)

NOT GONNA LIE I HAVE FRIENDS AND I SENT THEM THIS AND THEY SAID IT HELPED ALOT GOOD WORK YALL 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Watched all ur videos on fb and it's amazing to see people my age still playing. Just recently getting back into the community, and I appreciate the support from these videos guys. SUBBED

I’ve played the game for years and this is an absolutely great video. Definitely always good to brush up on the small stuff. Great job guys!

My tip is to always scour the cardbase for hidden gems that can work in your deck, you never know when that 2011 common you regarded as trash will become a staple of a deck.

We all consider this common sense but we all fall victim to atleast one of these.

You guys truly are my favorite YugiTubers.

extra tip: do NOT steal... they may have saved up for a long time or may not even be their cards... and you're just ruining their experience with this game...(this should be obvious, but for some reason it keeps happening...)

It benefits every player playing in every format including todays to know how to play goat-format and to be good at it. Things like card economy and conserving your resources are an essential part of goat and theories that still stand today.

Finally came back to playing this game, I brought my brothers along. This video will come in handy when teaching them.

Thank you this will help me!

This is so wholesome, i wish i could see this 1 year ago, thanks for the advice dudes.

Thank you soooooo much everyone @Teamaps this is soooooo useful one day I'd love to go to a competitive yugioh event and this is really helpful 😊

I just want to say thanks I been watching your videos the whole team is great and it got me back into YuGiOh and I’ve been having fun and I pulled nibiru in the 2019 mega tin today so I’m living my best life rn ahaha thanks again guys

the tip of play what you want really hits me. i dun care if i lose alot, i love my dragons and ill get my deck to super good one day.

I remember playing in 2014, and guys would often huff in frustration with me asking to read almost every card. Glad to know I should continue to do that so I can learn the game lol

Glad to see you guys doing this , keep it up fellas 💯🤘🏽

"Before you respond, ask yourself if it is a threat." I was playing goat format once and the dude kept attacking with Sinister Serpent. I had a scapegoat set. We were both too decking. I keep letting the atk go through. Dude behind me goes, " Are you crazy? Play that. (Talking about scapegoat)" I say, "Why, it is not a threat." He says, "Because you are losing ng life points." I ended up winning with that scape goat and metamorphasis a few turns later. After the duel I explained to the guy that there is no point in using a card when the opponents card is not a threat and losing life points does not matter unless they will reach zero. This same person who was worried about me loosing life points also played 3 copies of Solemn Judgment. Some people just have no sensible logic.

Shaddoll effects don't trigger off of discard But for real have a solid understanding of the rules, whether by reading the rule book or listening to people who have a deep understanding of the rules

4:07 applies to me the most. Thanks guys.

The slightly wiggly camera nad the variety of people made this video feel professional, like a documentary. It is awesome.

This video was super helpful...Thank you Team APS.

Another tip that is quite small but can help you out is to organize your extra deck (keep fusions with fusion, links with links, etc).

Great tips! Keep up the good work!!

I go into every match expecting to lose. That way I'll either be pleasantly surprised or right.

LOVE you guys!

Tip: Don't be afraid to try new game mechanics when they come out. They might seem confusing and pointless at first, but with time and practice, you'll eventually adapt to the strategies and methods of the game.

Learned something 2 tips in dang! good stuff right here for sure

This is great advice, I'm a competitive Pokemon TCG player, but I am getting into Yu-Gi-Oh with my kids. Great channel guys!

great content! subscribed

This is a nice video :)

15:25 is a reeeeeally good tip. Everybody was selling the invoked engine and i stuck with it when i heard shaddolls were coming back. HAAAA now i got like a 350$ deck and i payed 20$ or so for aleister, invocarion, meltdown and 2 machaba. Seriously, keep up with the news!!!

Always look back at old cards, u never know what could still be used

Love this video, this should be a PSA for YuGiOh tournaments

Hidden tip: For the love of God go to a damn toilet before you start a duel. Your bowels will thank you later, and so will your opponent...

I'd like to add on to the tip about buying product. While it's true that not everything will have insane value, there's often a lot of overlooked tech options that end up being really good in certain strategies. Things like Galactic Spiral Dragon in Chaos Impact being a free rank 8 for Dragon decks, Cynet Backdoor from Mystic Fighters being a budget Cynet Mining that combos really well in Mathmechs, etc. You might not get the chase card that you're looking for, but you will get something. And those hidden gems are what a lot of us enjoyed as kids.

hey i played some of you before. regionals and nats. its always fun playing people that know their rulings. some these other people keep teaching them.

I loved this. Thank you.

for foreign cards, I always bring a 2nd english card to have. idk if they allow that at big tournaments but at locals it really helps.

Great video guys!

The only time you should play more than 40 cards is if those additional cards also help facilitate your win condition. The reason stuff like 60 card decks exist is because those extra 20 cards serve to facilitate the win condition of the deck without the need to see specific cards. If you're playing a 40 card build of something like SPYRAL or Shaddoll and you decide to add 3 Solemn Judgment and 3 Solemn Strike, all you have done is made your deck more inconsistent without helping your win con, since those decks need to see certain cards to get things going.

“Know why you play” man this one right here got me, I played the game on my switch (before it was stolen) cause I love yugioh but can’t afford a lot of the decks with my other habits. This should be a top 10 piece of advice for any game

I remember picking this tip up a long time ago, but I can't remember from where. Always ask your opponent before handling their cards. Wanna read the effect or confirm a cost? Ask your opponent if you may see the card yourself. It's their cards, their property. You'd want the same. It's courteous

I'm proud of you guys. 💪🏿

Always have a set of dice on hand to start the games. 6 sided or any will do. Also good for things like spell counters. I used to carry a bag of pennies for old school endymion.

"Support your scene." Canadians who live outside the Greater Toronto Area: *tumbleweed rolls by.*

Good info as always appreciate you guys

5:50 1 of the decks I have is a magnet warrior deck. I at 1st started out with 40, and then I realized what actually will happen after like 5 rounds. I had to change it to 60 so I wouldn't deck out

Your attitude after a match.... the impression that you leave on other players. Some folks really needed to hear that.

All good advice. Some goes without saying, but there is always THAT GUY. 👍

2:18 Sometimes its better to draw first because depending on what you draw it might change what you search for a better combination. But most times it depends on your feeling and playstyle.

And the slight of hand at the end.....i like lol

thanks a lot for those tips they were really helpful. P.S love your vids

That is a so great Video! keep that up!!

i would like to see your guys meta duels more frequently. yezz yezz

12:51 This is the golden tip of yugioh. Too many people get discouraged because they can't afford meta decks, or they have a hard time comprehending combo-heavy decks. Newer/returning players get put off because they feel they have to swim in the deep end but don't want to drown. Fun/budget decks are the BEST way to get people into yugioh, or keep returning players invested. Just bought my friend's entire collection because he "...can't afford decks to play against people at the card shop." Felt bad for him. I, personally, love fun decks more than anything else. Grab a random archetype that few people know about, build an engine, slap in a few staples, and bam! Something new, something fresh, and something CHEAP. Krawlers are a fantastic example. The core engine of the deck is like $5-$10. It's my favorite deck. Is it good? Idk, does Taco Bell destroy your asshole? There's your answer. But it is SUCH a fun deck. I love taking it to locals, i love the interaction of it, and 9/10 times, people ask me for the deck list BECAUSE they see how fun it is. If you can let go of the "i have to play meta to play at all" mentality, then you will experience what Yugioh is truly about: having fun.

Very nice advice Team APS

Guys thanks a lot for this video !

Damn I want a group of friends like you guys to duel with …I’m getting back into it I haven’t played since the old school days

Y’all ain’t tell no lies! Great video. Also which branch homey serve/serves in?

I really enjoyed this video keep it up 😁👍

Really liked Paul's tip, now I am gonna start playing Mirror Force again instead of Black Sonic😂
