YU-GI-OH GX JADEN vs SYRUS Starter Decks from 2007!

The power of yu gi oh gx is amazing

how weird is this i just watched 40 episodes of the first season today :P i love yu gi oh gx!

Avian and Burstinatrix are just garnets without Brilliant Fusion.

Yeah, Avian and burstinatrix especially. They're so useless when you can't fuse them.

Yeah it's like having a yugi deck without dark magician

@@freezasama5802 *manly fainting noises*

I was thinking the same, Jayden's deck is pointless without fusion

"Here me Shmayden"

Whimbulm then Judai loses the duel and can't see his cards anymore

That doesnt rhyme with Syrus

“You know who you are”

The greatest yugioh meme of all time

It is a dated starter deck after all. They didn't really get that good again until 5ds.

To be fair, even through fusion were part of Judai's deck, they weren't part of everyone's deck, if there is one thing that GX introduce that, this starter decks do well, it's Archetypes... Because before GX they didn't existed besides some cards having unique spells design for then.

@@ultimateshadeofwar like you mean they started to put an emphasis on archetype?

@@Namor87 Not really, in GX it's when Archetypes came together before it was "This card for Dark Magician" or "This card for Blue-eyes White Dragon", etc. But in GX it was on cards that share the same name or thematic point and if you look at the different decks of the cast around Judai/Jaden, you have a deck that ends up focusing on Rituals, Cyber Angels, a deck that focus on summoning powerful monsters Dinosaurs(At that time they weren't the power house of different summoning methods that they are now), the weird deck of Manjoume/Chazz which focus on both fusion, summoning powerful monsters and LVL monsters... And finally the other person with a deck focusing on fusion Sho/Syrus. But what all of then have in common, with exception of Manjoume/Chazz, it's that they focus on the thematic point of each one creating cards that either help to have the equivalent of a swift knife, or a quick way to execute an strategy with cards that have a similar without then being generic, it wasn't well done, but it was the beginning.

If you pay more attention you'll notice that GX wasn't really the Fusion show that made Fusions good. It was more about the archetypes and made archetypes into a thing. Fusions didn't become a relevant strategy untill much later with the introduction of Shaddolls and ArcV brought many strong fusion strategies such as Gem Knights, Fluffals, Ancient Gear Chaos Giant, Lunalights, Predaplants and most of all Invoked. There were some Hero variants that did well before all that but I personally don't see Masked Hero as a legitimate fusion deck. And if that were the case then Abc was also a very powerful structure deck that came out during the ArcV era and it involved a fusion monster so might as well call it a fusion deck.

to be fair, playing with his original deck that has only one Poly and one Miracle Fusion also probably sucks

@@estebanrodriguez5409 But at least you had a chance, admittedly not much of a high chance.

Yeah at the wary least they should have included Flame Wing Man

They could've at least included a couple of Polymerizations given how many damn fusions GX had.

@@estebanrodriguez5409 I think Jaiden actually had multiple copies of Poly at least, I can’t remember specifics but I swear he uses it multiple times without adding the same copy back to his hand sometimes

Which is funny because the roids also fusion a lot too

It doesn't sting quite as much as Dragunity Legion not having any Synchros tbh

It’s the first structures lol

@@Namor87 they gave Joey wheeler a fusion deck heck Pegasus had that fusion card too or was it just his ritual monster?

@@turtlesfan44 Yes, the original starter decks from season 1 all came with the polymerization spell, cant recall if they came with any fusion monsters tho

Yeah. At least the Yugi evolution came with BLS

Yeah. I remember getting his starter deck as a kid and being, so disappointed that there wasn't a single fusion.

I remember buying this deck as a kid for the sole purpose of getting Polymerization, since I didnt know where else to get that card and I was sure Jaiden would have it... was v disappointed

another dissapointment, there is no elemental hero neos, you know the main cart of the character

@@verguco6051 I don't think Neos was a thing when this came out. Wasn't Judai's ace at this point still Flame Wingman?

I never had any starter decks when I was younger,it was when I turned 13 when I got yugis reloaded deck

Way back I used to own both so this video took me back

Both

@@xxgluemasterxx6463 I had gotten the legendary decks 2 a couple months ago and it brought me back to the og show

@@tristanphillips3639 yeah bought the same thing and yeah it was a nostalgic trip down memory line

Lol

I see this as an insult

plenty of people? you speak like people didn't like roids or syrus back in the day

Droids were popular at one point

@@DrakeSilver Well then, I stand corrected. 😅 I genuinely didn't know anyone liked Roids. They've always seemed like the lamest archetype to me. Usually even If I don't like an archetype, I can see why people do, but Roids just look like they were designed in 5 minutes.

Aren't seething and frustration redundant?

@@s.oddity3640 No, because in this instance it's used to express that the frustration is an intense feeling rather than just frustration on its own. It's used as a descriptor in this case.

I felt that too lmao

This the turn after he used negate attack.

@@RazielTheUnborn snap

Yeah, but it's not as good because they errata'd it so you can only take monsters that you can normal summon.

@@jackurokawa3838 Wouldn't it be hilarious if in 2021 two dudes were playing 2007 Struture Decks based on a series of the anime that featured tons of Fusion Monsters and was even introduced as the "Fusion World" in a later series (ARC V), and the only Special Summoned methods the real life Decks seem to use are a Rescueroid-Ambulanceroid combo, no Fusions in sight, so Brain Control only nabbing Normal Summone monsters is perfectly fine. Wouldn't that be something?

should've but if you forget, you forget. The effect to switch it's position is optional, meaning you can accidentally not choose it, and that's perfectly in line with the rules.

I use to used it in the gx video games. That is true. You don't have to do it. If u forget u forget lol

He knew how to use the card, but he forgot how to play it

Oh there is someone who mentioned it, well still I had to bring it up on another comment because this is something the player mentioned in an earlier duel, and he didn't do itint hat duel, andyes, it was a problem becauseit was attacked as if in attack mode even though it wasn't supposed to be.

@@frontierwingsix5196 if I'm not mistaken it has 2 effects. The first is the direct attack of 800. Then swap to defence or its 2nd effect is if its the target of an attack it can swap to defense.

Steamroid is a hell of a drug

@@flarexero2161 hit's you like a train.

lmfao xD

i was wondering if someone was gonna say something couldve set it then special summon bubbleman and equipped it then

They did

@@TheKidblazer1 not trying to negative about it just Alec misplays a lot! I think he doesn’t really care because it’s casual games or he misreads a lot lol.

@@Namor87 yea but i like warriors out all the yugioh cards so kind of bother me a bit

There was also a misplay where Submarineroid attacked directly one time and wasn't switched to defense mode. He swtiched another monster to defense mode manually but Submarineroid's effect auto-works like that. I don't see any other comments mentioning it, so allow me to direction your attention to 27:02, since people seem to not have noticed. And YES, it does come up on the next turn, the monster is slain by Mataza the Zapper whose ATK CANNOT overtake Submarineroid's DEF.

For heroes: find a way to dump all the heroes from the deck to the GY and then special summon them to fill the field with links and XYZ For vehicroids: abuse expressroid effect to spam them from the deck and use them for the exact same links and XYZ Because that's how you win in modern yu gi oh.

@@omniscience9631 The former can't really do Xyz plays, and its Link plays are very limited due to the fact that the deck loves to lock into HEROes. Vehicroid can't really abuse Expressroid, because Expressroid is like...their only good monster from the older support, and the later good roids are WIND and thus not searchable

@@kichiroumitsurugi4363 any deck can use XYZ and links. I dont even know why you're saying this. Especially with cards like ice barrier archtypes, i mean you realize that links and xyz can combine with any card right? They are just more op versions of fusion. theres also elemental hero link cards. But none of that matters. Because all you need is to run things like utopia that runs in any level 4 deck. E heroes are lvel 3 and 4 cards so run level 3 and 4 xyz and then run some links. honestly if you're running fusions still you're bad at the game sorry not sorry. you also forgot Jaden didnt only use elemental heroes. theres visions heroes and masked heroes which are stupid op compared to normal elemental heroes. completely gamebreaking and completely unfair. its like its no wonder Jaden won every single duel how could he possibly lose he had the absolute best cards in the entire game. his deck is 150x better than yugi and kaibas its insane to think otherwise. And dont get me started on his 7,500 attack fusion monster that he can bust out literally anytime he wants, Evil Gaia is -omnipotent-.

@@Kugrox I should note that Jaden only used Masked HERO in the manga, and Vision HEROes are used by Aster in the manga

That's what I was saying! Paul could have potentially prolonged the duel long enough to make a comeback

No point in using Book of Moon on Bladedge because Alec could just flip Bladedge back to face-up attack position since Bladedge hasn’t attacked, or changed positions yet.

@@ArtsyAllAround yeah your right. I thought he already entered Battle Phase, but he hasnt

I caught that too

I mean, it’s an optional effect as opposed to mandatory

@@DeltaShinyZeta there is rarely a reason you shouldn't do it

@@Jrpg_guy yeah wht he meant was that is technically a misplay and not them doing an illegal move

While that is unreasonable, they don't even try to stay on-theme. Why do both of these decks have garbage poison mummy?

Nah! My boy Syrus Truesdale either? Got held back a dorm or was kicked out of Duel Academy.

He could've just flipped blade edge back up

I knew exactly nothing about GX before watching this video, but I fully expected the forty-first card in each Starter to be an Extra Deck Monster. Color me surprised.

much better than the shitty olden days of 2005 kid, deal with it

@@EBlade3529 Eh, I'd say any format from Goat onwards was good in their own right, even ignoring nostalgia. Some people like more complex turns where losses come from pivotal moments, some like more simplistic turns that snowball together into wins, etc.

Bit late but blade edge could just flip summon and attack anyways. Clayman was the only valid target at the time. With R RIGHTEOUS Justice, Paul sadly had no surprises left.

Those are my faves!!!

You can "play" a card and not have any long term strategic plan for its effects..."using" a card, in my opinion takes advantage of more long term effects and chains etc. That's what you're saying?

Thanks for the reminder, I will grab a drink of water now

To buy more decks means.... more money for them

It was banned for a few years, before it was eventually errated. If you check newer printings of BC, it’s not as powerful as older printings.
