God i remember when i got the Kaiba deck delivered to my house. i came from school everyday and looked out the window till it arrived. i was the happiest kid alive then. Glorious times

I remember being in the toy store with my older cousins and they were already a bit into yugioh. I was 7 years old and wanted to get the Yugi Starter Deck because it had Dark Magician, and I also suspected it might have other of Yugi's cards like Spellbinding Circle and stuff. Also Yugi always beat Kaiba in the anime, so how could I go wrong? But my cousin urged me to pick Kaiba, since he said that it has a really strong card in it. I was like "what, Blue-Eyes?" I never really liked the design of Blue-Eyes, even though it had 3000 ATK, I really just thought Dark Magician was cooler. But he was like "no, because of this genie card, it has 1800 ATK and 4 stars, so you can just summon it whenever you want." I didn't get what he was talking about so I just ignored him and bought the Yugi starter deck. Later when we dueled and he taught me the rules, not only did I realize that the deck didn't have all of Yugi's cool cards, but also that he was right, and La-Jinn was a card I couldn't get over unless I used equip cards or was able to get out Summoned Skull. I think that's the day I really fell in love with Yugioh, because I realized the game was so different from the show, and that the even though the characters in the show get into dangerous situations surmised by the plot itself, you could find yourself in "dangerous situations" within the game, if you didn't have a strategy going in, which as a kid, I thought that was really cool. After that, for my birthday, my cousin bought me three Kaiba Starter decks. I remember he gave me 1, which I was ecstatic about, then unveiled 2 more, which blew my mind. I took my new cards into 2nd grade and destroyed the entire playground thanks to my cousin. And that's when I REALLY fell in love with Yugioh.

Obelisk isn’t the weakest I tested un nerf god cards and Slifer the weakest because of the difficulty breaking established boards

I think the problem with the Levels being weird with under powered Level 5 monsters is that a lot of these cards and their stats are taken straight out of the manga, and in the manga, especially the early manga, the Levels meant almost nothing. There weren't Tribute Summons, so any card could be played at any time regardless of Level. They almost acted more as an indicator of rarity in the manga than being a better card since it cost nothing more to play. That's why Blue-Eyes is this amazingly rare Level 8 monster. Everything else is a Level 7 or lower. That's why Dark Magician is a higher Level than Summoned Skull despite them both having 2500 ATK. Dark Magician was more important. Sure, it also had higher DEF, but being Yugi's key monster meant more. Levels mean more now, not only because mechanics were introduced that make use of them, but because Konami has by now established some general guidelines as far as balancing how much ATK and how many effects go on certain levels. Frankly I think the Level balancing needs to be even more balanced, as power creep keeps messing with that balance, however at least now Levels actually mean something. Early Yu-Gi-Oh being more a promotional tie-in than an actually competitive game was a bit arbitrary as far as stats go.

Then in the second season of that show they all get trapped in a Fantasy Land where the monsters of the Duel Monsters game were real. Then they made the spin off manga Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Monsters that ended up being way more popular so they just continued with that.

You can play without Summoned Skull. It's Man-Eater Bug, Neo the Magic Swordsman, Wall of Illusion, and Waboku you absolutely have to have multiple copies in Starter Deck Yugi.

Starter Deck Yugi was my first. My cousin got Kaiba. Although we didn't really know how to play we still loved playing. Eventually got better, moved to secondary school and met some people who also played. I miss the simpler days of yugioh.

Most of the card choices largely came down to what Kaiba was playing in the anime and Manga at the time. For example Kabia played la gin against yugi in that blue eyes Ultimate dragon duel. Then in the following duel against pegasus a few episodes later he opened the game with Rude Kaiser. This was also back during the duelist kingdom days where they were just playing monsters without having to tribute summon them.

maybe the whole idea was to not bring the tribute summon rule at all - they only brought that up during the battle city ark wich took some time; otherwise, those 1-3, 5 and 7 stars slots would be kinda useless, or, at least, messed up (we could just have a 5* -> 1 tribute; 6* -> 2 tributes and so on, but neh, too simple for our card game XD). i can only think of a few situations in wich having those specific cards may actualy be worth it like when you have catapult turtle (5*) and a legendary ocend (field spell card that reduces certain monsters in your hand by 1*) so you can play the monster w/o tributing. all in all, i kinda have to thank the tribute summoning rule, i hated the yu gi oh forbidden memory deck style where you could just play 4500atk monsters with no problem.

For anyone curious about the hitasume giant format. The first set in OCGland released volume one which was a fifty card set prior to any starter decks or legend of blue eyes that we had in the states. There highest stat of the non tribute monsters were 1200, hitasume giant, mammoth graveyard, and silver fang. The next highest attack was 800. Giant having the guest defense, made it the best monster in the game for roughly the first month of the sets release. Within two months however, it was power crept by trials of nightmare-1300 attack, followed by Celtic guardian-1400 attack, and quickly followed by uraby-1500 attack in subsequent sets, promos, or movie releases. www.reddit.com/r/yugioh/comments/4lhxnh/for_the_people_playing_the_game_from_the_very/?

While that is true, it is not entirely accurate. That poster failed to take into account a very important thing; Tribute Summoning didn't exist during the first three months of the OCG. That's why the strongest and most sought-after "meta" cards at the time were Dark Magician and Gaia the Fierce Knight, since they can be summoned straight from the hand at no cost (and then they were quickly powercrept by Blue-Eyes White Dragon, released one month after Vol. 1). However, since those cards were Ultra Rare while the 1200 ATKers were Common, it's still true that the 1200 ATKers were widely used back then as the most accessible big beatsticks in decks after the Ultra Rares.

I remember going to a Yu-Gi-Oh event back in the real early days and I went with my 120 card deck in tow before the deck size limit was introduced.

About Hitotsu me Giant: it was the highest ATK monster, along with Mammoth Graveyard and Beast Fang. The meta was pretty much "spam Dark Holes and Fissure (both at 3 copies), stop the opponent 1200s with Trap Holes, and boost your 800s ATKs with 300 ATK Equips (yeah, you read that right)". Shortly after there was a few other 1200 ATK (The 13th Grave for example), and Trial of Nightmare as an ultra from Shonen Jump if I remember correctly? Aqua Madoor was in the Theatrical Release version of the Starter Deck. You had to go through any Aqua Madoor your opponent was lucky enough to have, making Dark Hole and Fissure even more important. Shortly after that, it was "whoever was at the DM1 tourney or has enough money is going to plow through the opponent with Kanan the Swordmistress". Yep, a bit like Mechanicalchaser here. Then Celtic Guardian was released (as a pre-order promo I believe?). Then Uraby was released with its 1500 ATK. Feel free to correct me, I haven't looked into this for quite some time. I can provide a picture of my full Volume 1 deck, I don't know if I can post links here and still have my comment visible though :-P

This video, the comments...I literally just time traveled in my head to specific detailed moments I thought I forgot about....I remember saving my allowance for my very first Kaiba starter deck. Me and buddies riding our bikes to our local game shop every Saturday morning, such good times.

Just came across this video, thanks for posting it, it's such a great reminder and nostalgia, I remember when I was a kid and me and my best friend first going at my place to beg my parents and then at his to give us the money to buy starter decks him buying Kaiba started deck and mine was Yugi's, I always remember how excited we were when we found Dark Magician and Blue Eyes in the deck, good times :')

Come forth, BLUE EYES WHITE DRAGON

To me back in the day I thought Hane Hane was better, cause well if you bounce Blue-eyes or Dark Magician, it will be a bit harder to bring them out. If destroyed by Man Eater Bug then well there is a chance to bring it back with Monster Reborn.

@@Gytiss93 it's not a "you can". But a chance to bring it back. Back in the day, it's a lot more harder to get Monster Reborn to hand (unless you are playing Exodia Turbo). Unless, you where playing back to the 5D's era, then it's a lot more faster to get Monster Reborn. Back in the day, when it was extremely slow, there's a chance that you would never see Monster Reborn in the match. Yes in this day of era of Yu-Gi-Oh, it's more of a 60% chance of getting Monster Reborn.

Kevin Hinojosa I mean otk, but it’s zombie world plus finite cards plus boneless tower plus the wicked worm beast.

You should totally make an ASMR video of you reading that rulebook.

Enjoy all of your videos, including pack openings. I’d like to see some of your old deck profiles and how you go about building a deck. Trying to update mine a bit so my wife and I can play each other casually.

youtube hitting me with a nostalgia trip here, will never forget the Christmas my brother got this deck and i got the yu gi starter deck, trying to recreate the s1 duel and playing each other over and over again GG

Back when yu gi oh had simple rules and awesome looking monsters.

It’s difficult to say Blue Eyes vs Dark vs Exodia. Which one is more well known. Dark Magician and Blue Eyes were prominent on the first episode but I feel everyone knows “Exodia Obliterate!”

Very satisfying to watch the first deck I ever had when I was 8 to be opened again. My my how the game has changed so much since then. I remember playing with my brother for hours trying to get better and understand how to actually duel.

Kaiba was my first. Metal Raiders was my first booster, but I got around to cracking packs of Legend and the Yugi deck.

Everyone knows the most iconic card is Kuriboh.

That old kaiba starter deck was my very first deck, that was my start in yugioh

I was today's year old, when I learned this

I started with this deck in 2002. I remember saving up all my allowance money over weeks and weeks to eventually buy three Starter Deck: Kaiba just to get three Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards, and I even succeeded in pulling a Blue-Eyes White Dragon from a Legend of Blue-Eyes White Dragon booster pack I got that winter in my Christmas stocking. I still splash Blue-Eyes into the decks I build for myself today.

I remember I got this deck on Christmas and that shit came with two Blue Eyes.

Makes me miss the old schoolyard days. Here I am almost 30 and getting back into this game after many years away.

Good memories, I remember my Mum taking me to tesco ( big supermarket in the UK) to buy this deck and my best fried was their who just so happened to have bought the yugi deck. Couldn't make it up haha. And we continued playing up intill about 2008ish. Only just started playing again with the games and legendary decks. Always a fun game. Even though I now have money to build top decks, I don't know many people who play so just play semi competeative on a casual setting. 17 years later baby haha

When I first started was around when this deck came out. I remember only having a few packs, then my mom bringing this home. That was when I first really got into the game, and played it right! I convinced my friend to get the yugi deck, and we both became life long yugi addicts! Such nostalgia.

I still have my foil 1st ed blue eyes. Been in a sleeve since.

Holy crap this is a blast from the past it's the first deck I'd ever had with Yugioh

I agree. The Legend Of Blue Eyes art work is my favorite too. It was also on the box art for Duelist of Roses.

"We're not gonna read the whole rulebook... only a madman would do that." Dzeef's secret stream still haunts him

Who else remembers Zoodiac format where people played 3x Kaiju Slumber, 2x Dark Hole, 1x Raigeki for 6 boardwipes, no meme, actually a great format

I had all the starter decks back then and never used them to play with. I just liked collecting the cards and drawing the pictures. I'm so glad I still have all of the cards I got back then to this day.

I remember when I first got a starter deck as a kid. It was weird because I had this strange feeling that something good was about to happen as I was walking home from school that day. When I went into my bedroom, there it was - a Starter Deck Yugi. I was so overjoyed that my dad even took a pic of me holding the cards. Dark Magician, Soul Exchange, Card Destruction, Trap Hole, Dark Hole, Monster Reborn, Feral Imp, Baron of the Fiend Sword, Mystic Clown, Trap Master, De-Spell, and so on and so forth. It was the greatest thing I'd ever held in my hand. I think this singular experience is part of why my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh card, as well as my favorite archetype, has always been - and remains to this day - Dark Magician.

I had the 2002 Yugi Starter deck back then.

Me an my brother in the kitchen I had starter Yugi he had Kaiba. The epic battles we had

I remember me and my brother getting the Japanese kiba and Yugi decks at a store as little kids and thinking it was so damn cool it was in another language so we just played with "whoever had the highest numbers wins"

Got these bad boys for Christmas. My brothers and I were hooked. Still have the cards

Not even 1st Ed. 😉

This is incredibly nostalgic for me. This deck and the yugi starter deck are the first two decks I bought when I started right around the time when metal raiders came out. Man I was so bad at deck building back then. We didn’t have a maximum deck size and I just smashed the two decks together. Also back then dragon capture jar was a huge annoyance for a great many players and I abused the crap out of it

Christmas 2002 I got 3 of these decks from 3 different relatives and it was fantastic lol so much nostalgia seeing this deck again. Makes me miss the slower pace yugioh had. Tribute summons were a big deal unlike today where you can special summon 27 monsters before your battle phase

Trap Master was at least, unironically.

I bought the Yugi one... also the Pegasus one... it seems i choose poorly.

Had the Yugi, Kaiba, Joey and Pegasus starter decks back then. Had no idea how to play and didnt play properly until 10 years later but it was still one of my best memories of the game.

Ahh the memories. This was my first Yugioh deck, first of any Yugioh cards. I hadn't even seen the show yet, but being the 10 year old that I was, I was looking to get into a "cooler" and "darker" card game after collecting Pokemon and Digimon cards previously. I saw this at the store and I had to have it. I didn't know anything about it but I remember looking at the art and reading all the card descriptions day after day before finally catching the show on tv.

That was some fun nostalgia. My first starter deck was Joey if memory serves, but I also think I just used packs for the longest time before getting a deck because money was tight on a 3 dollar allowance LOL

Brings back memory's. I started collecting yugioh around when this came out. First rare I pulled from a pack was a red eyes black dragon but it was printed weirdly. The whole card was darker then the other cards. Still have it to this day.

I feel like the battle city starters we're the ones that *really* defined Yu-Gi-Oh

Opens a 2002 Kaiba starter deck that was brand new like it's not hard to find and worth the normal $10

Oh man this brings back memories. My parents bought the Yugi starter deck for me and the Kaiba starter deck for my friend.
