I super appreciate these deck vs deck videos. I took a hiatus from Yu-Gi-Oh! while I was in college, so catching up on all the decks (plus your top-tier rule commentary) has been incredibly helpful in learning the stuff I missed.

i love how you do these. like we all dream of playing yugioh like in the anime wich is still a dream, but this, all this is so fun, the card close ups, the deck breakdown, the camera views. this is so good!

Yo that Snatch Steal top deck was clutch af

So much nostalgia, brought these when they first came out ... First decks I brought were the original blue eyes White dragon and dark magician decks.

I fell out of playing Yu-Gi-Oh a few years ago, as the meta became to difficult for me to keep up with. I really like the nostalgia videos like these bring back and I love the content that Team APS puts out. Thank you guys for everything, and keep dueling.

Damnnnnnnnn! That game 3 was crazy!! Good stuff, Team APS!

the beauty of this old deck si the fact they were simple and also complex at the same time. not too compčlicatedb ut u still had to make choices

Man, this channel is great, I just came back to watch yugioh after 6 years and you guys do an amazing job explaining the things in the duels, for a person like me who played before the Link summon your videos are very helpful

Its great how you guys also read the text louder than watching speed duels. I like all of your content, especially duels.

Before I watched other people making the same type of video about these two decks, I was one of those who expected Water to win. And not because it was simply "Water against Fire", but because, in a vaccum, the Water deck has a much better strategy than the Fire deck to go against other decks in general. After watching others though, I knew Water would lose. They all start and end the same way: Part 1 (Deck Analisys) - "Wow, the water deck is so much better than the Fire deck" Part 2 (Matches) - "Welp... we didn't expect the Water deck to lose..." Ironically, the Water deck just happens to have a bad matchup against the Fire deck in particular, whereas most other decks have no problem against it. Water's lockdown strategy doesn't do much against the Fire's Burn strategy which doesn't rely much on attacking.

BLAZE OF DESTRUCTION LET'S GOOOOOOOO my first and only true structure deck, what a trip down memory lane. For once I could see the strategy clearly as it played out!

The audio was off but once again, I love these duels on the channel

I LOVE how in the third duel you had the theme for Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force playing for when you was nearing the end game of a duel! I love that theme as it really makes me feel hyped while dueling that game. Also, I'm happy to see the Blaze of Destruction claimed a win here in a 2 out of 3 duel! That third Duel Alec really got a blessing from the Heart of the Cards!

yo ocean dragon lord lowkey bust, always loved the artwork of that card.

This was a nostalgia kick. I remember buying these at a town fare years ago and playing with my lil brothers. Still have Neo Daedalus sleeved up here at home.
