*Just a few more duels left to decide who is the Retro Rivals winner! But first we have to try to actually find more Retro Packs to begin with...* 😅 Oh and if you want the Joey and Time Wizard shirt, hurry and get it here! 👕 shonenjumpstore.com/products/yu-gi-oh-_time_wizard_tee_black
Had to grab one of those. Time wizard is my first and only card I still got from being 9 years old (I'm fn 32). Somehow it's stayed pristine all these years even though I've played with it a ton over the years. The og game winner for would be losers. Still the top top dog -- hell they named a format after your boy
I think a good progression would be to add old boosters or cards from the first sets, by choice of the player, building a custom deck of pretty much anything available at x time/year. Would be interesting to see you guys mix in some further customization as the series continues. This is still my favorite series, across a lot of channels at the moment. Thank you good stuff
Not sure if you have found any yet, target still has some online (at least in my area) and Barnes and nobles tend to have them still since no one goes there for cards.
Everyday is the same routine. Wake up, practice drum set, work, study spanish then sleep. But one day every 10-14 days I get to break up the monotony with Retro Rivals, the only Yu-Gi-Oh content I can understand.
Please guys, never stop doing these progression series and retro pack series, we know it's hard cos costs but we all love and appreciate the content so much
Man, I wish this series wasnt going to end. I genuinely look forward to this every week. Is there a way to elevate these decks over time with future sets?
Maybe they could squeeze out another episode where alec trades some of the cards that paul never pulled? They could attempt to build their ideal decks out of the set full card pool.
I was thinking the music sounded like Banjo Kazooie but not exactly. That explains it - i definitely didn't spend nearly as much time with DK64 as I did with Banjo
I’ve never actually played a single game of yugioh, but I’ve been binge watching your videos…love the Rare Hunters and these retro duels…showing the pack openings, deck building, and then dueling is great…the commentary, I love it. I’ve been playing Sorcery lately, but I have you guys on in the background when I’m building decks. Great stuff guys.
ALRIGHT! These videos are like candy! Lol as exciting as dinner/ desert 😊 3:12 WOW Alec really does get (most) of the best pulls! Though last time, you definitely got the better packs lol 😊 12:08 I totally was taken by surprise on that last turn played in the first round! So epic and SO did not see it coming nor was I even remotely expecting it! 23:55 😮🫢😳😳 I am speechless 😶 This series is really something! Games getting so intense and full of surprises, twists and turns... You guys put out THE NUMBER ONE ideas for series of card games series done on UA-cam! I love MTG and don't/ haven't played Yu-Gi-Oh but... I shamelessly love your series sets better than the Prof's.... Yu-Gi-Oh just does the surprises better I think-- at least in the series sets you guys do! And here they are killing it 😊
Impulse-bought the Time Wizard shirt. Dark Sage is my #1 favorite card, I've got a Goat deck revolving around him feat. 2x Time Wizards, and who *doesn't* love Joey? Much love to Alec for tipping me off about it - wouldn't have heard about it otherwise!
Місяць тому+1
At this moment, this is my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! content of all the Internet. Please continue with the wonderful work, and thank you so much, TeamAPS
2 things the editing on the sheep tokens was god tier and the choice of dk64 multiplayer music was fantastic shoutouts to whoever edits the video big love from a huge aps fan
I do wish this set had more extra deck cards. I do feel like relinquished and twin headed thunder dragon are kinda the best route so you do see them every game
The thing about these older cards is that, not only do their effect texts aren't article length but also, they are mostly generic so you can throw together a deck that will function from random cards and you can come up with some silly strategies that aren't predefined by an archetype. Love series like this one!
Konami messed up the cutting at their print shop for the cards. The Crystal Beast structure decks had many issues being cut improperly and having misprints too
Finally got my hands on some of these retro packs? I bought all but one box lol. Doubt I’ll ever see em again, I got a summoned skull, la jinn, gate guardian, catapult turtle and Gaia fusion holo. Got a bunch of other goat staples too
If you guys do a similar series next time maybe add a rule like people not being able to use the same bossmonsters as the other. It was really cool to have Alec be the "Relinquished" guy while Paul was the "Thunder Dragon Guy", but then Alec copying Pauls strategy after seeing how good it is made it feel less unique
Yall got me hooked with this series and love everything you guys created with this channel 💯 💪 the background music be hitting me straight in the nostalgia 💥
I hope we'll see the complete set of Exodia soon or later. The "Exodia the Forbidden One" is more rare than arms and legs in YuGiOh Retro Packs. The chance to get it is very slim.
Really good series lads, I'm thoroughly enjoying it! If I could make 1 comment: it's a pity that Alex started playing Twin Headed Thunder Dragon too. Early on you both decided your boss monsters (Relinquished vs Twin Headed Thunder Dragon) which was cool and brought anticipation and variety to games. With Alex on both, it feels, to me at least, that that aspect has been lost a bit. I know (as you mention in this video) that Paul would play Relinquished too if he pulled it but I think it's actually think it's better that he doesn't. Just a thought. Keep up the good work! 💪☺️
Guys I just got the Crimson king pack and I can't wait to use it to DESTROY-erm Defeat my enemies in a brutal manner (Thanks Paul for helping me get back in the game)
That was an unfortunate game 1 end for the duelist who lost (avoiding spoilers for anyone reading the comment section early). Love the segment as always and well done, both of y'all!
You gotta use the new skin for Neuron that is basically the same LP counter as the one in the show for the next episodes! (If they haven't been recorded, of course)
The thing about exchange of the spirit I like is that it doesn't say you both have to have 15. So my opponent can have 5 while I have 15, and it will still activate.
Excuse me but was that Banjo Kazooie - Grunty’s lair? Followed up by Treasure Cove (with monkey sounds!)?! Dang the APS boys have good taste. Wish we were friends in the late 90’s
Man the Relinquished and Senju combo is so strong, as well as the Thunder Dragon combo. I didn't expect Twin-headed Thunder Dragons to be so good XD unlike Blue-eyes....poor Blue-eyes....I mean I don't think he's lasted more than 1 turn. Also, 1.4k likes turned to 1.5k with my like :D That's a first.
Suggestion to make this series extra spicy: Limit floaters to 1-2. That way they won't result into summoning half deck and their targets become more meaningful.
Love the series! Made me want to play yugioh again! Look forward every week,, after the best of 5, could the series continue with Trell and other TeamAPS member's with a season two??
I put forward the idea, since you can't make Flame Swordsman in this set, you should put it in the main deck as a single tribute monster. 1800 at is rare in this set, so maybe this
*Just a few more duels left to decide who is the Retro Rivals winner! But first we have to try to actually find more Retro Packs to begin with...* 😅
Oh and if you want the Joey and Time Wizard shirt, hurry and get it here! 👕 shonenjumpstore.com/products/yu-gi-oh-_time_wizard_tee_black
DK 64 music?
This is a great series! Brings back memories! I can't play the new metas lol

That's a awful life my friend you should balance that a bit
Real
NGL. This format of YuGiOh makes sense. Throw in Links or Pendulums and i will think they went braille.
Fellow drummer and old school Yu-Gi-Oh fan. Cheers.
Same but with japanese and computer science for school
Please guys, never stop doing these progression series and retro pack series, we know it's hard cos costs but we all love and appreciate the content so much
Man, I wish this series wasnt going to end. I genuinely look forward to this every week. Is there a way to elevate these decks over time with future sets?
I'd imagine it could be possible if Dark Revelation or Dark Beginning got some type of set reprints. Despite those sets being larger.
I'd love to see these decks evolve and continue with other booster packs. Every 5 wins, a new booster pack set to evolve the decks.
Yo same! Man if this series ends before Alec gets to summon Black Skull Dragon i might cry.
Hoping for Retro Pack 2
Maybe they could squeeze out another episode where alec trades some of the cards that paul never pulled? They could attempt to build their ideal decks out of the set full card pool.
I wish I had the confidence in life that Alec has in Jirai Gumo and Time Wizard.
Don’t you mean Joey
APS basically made Jirai Gumbo a format thanks to these videos. Why not have faith in a giant spider who might bite you, too
This has to be pinned because it's the best thing I've read
16:17 continuing the channel tradition of Blue-Eyes never seeing any action in a retro-themed series
12:07 I love how he's just "Joey" at all points in the video now. Even though he used more Pegasus bosses now!
Na its Pegasus + Joey merged in this alt Universe
@@THAC0MANIC Joeysus? Or Pegajoey?
@@neoneanderthal2658 that is the question
Donkey Kong 64 battle arena music into Yugioh video game music...AND DK64 music while doing pulls! You've reached a new peak for me 😊😅
Haha, from the looks of your account, that's gotta be the truth!
Itd be cool to hear some Conker music too lol
I was thinking the music sounded like Banjo Kazooie but not exactly. That explains it - i definitely didn't spend nearly as much time with DK64 as I did with Banjo

"You baited me with an empty Field!" lol
So glad you played Donkey Kong 64 music, it brings me so many memories from 1999-2000 when I was 10 years old. It was also one of my favorite games.
ALRIGHT! These videos are like candy! Lol as exciting as dinner/ desert 😊

Been loving the two new series guys! Great work.
i remember when i was a kid my brother had wall of illusion and i didnt. it felt like the most unfair card in the world lol
Damn that last turn in the final battle, what a move from Mr. Joey Wheeler himself! I love this series, great job guys!
Paul needs some luck in the next packs though, Alecs Relinquished is doing some serious heavy lifting right now :D
I don't think your choice in music for these episodes gets enough credit. Love it all. Thanks for another fun episode.
Great video! Got me vibing all the time with those SICK DK64 Jams! Thank you so much guys! much love
Glad to see Alec finally transformed into his final form!
I do wish this set had more extra deck cards. I do feel like relinquished and twin headed thunder dragon are kinda the best route so you do see them every game

That trap hole miscut in the first pack is crazy
edit : oh the back is even crazier, huh
Paul Alec has the flying squirrels you need you need to do a trade off at some point
Keep filming these i wont stop watching
Always on the mood for some old school yugioh!
If you guys do a similar series next time maybe add a rule like people not being able to use the same bossmonsters as the other. It was really cool to have Alec be the "Relinquished" guy while Paul was the "Thunder Dragon Guy", but then Alec copying Pauls strategy after seeing how good it is made it feel less unique
In these dark days, channels like these are so important! Keep up the great work!
Appreciate that, man! We're trying to keep the spirits high!
Yall got me hooked with this series and love everything you guys created with this channel 💯 💪 the background music be hitting me straight in the nostalgia 💥
That banjo kazooie music made this duel even funner to watch lol
It's DK 64 not banjo but their both made by rare so its ok
Came looking for the Rare fans in the comments.
@@nathanlasalle508Same composer too
Look forward to this segment every week
That's epic you have Dk music in the background.
Once again letting you know I crave this series each week let’s go!
loving the DK
music ❤
I love the Donkey Kong Country background music!!
these retro duel never get old
Hahaha, thanks for adding the sheep token text over the video. I am working and when I looked back I was crazy confused for a second haha.
I’m always here for any team APS series.
Best team aps series
these needs to come out more often
"I'll activate polymerization." and then just staring like that had me cracking up.
I hope we'll see the complete set of Exodia soon or later. The "Exodia the Forbidden One" is more rare than arms and legs in YuGiOh Retro Packs. The chance to get it is very slim.
13:50 CGI at it's greatest
you guys always have the best music in your videos
Literally never made a deck without Shining Angel, Mother Grizzly, or Mystic Tomato...back in the day.😅
This series is awesome I like the old school music in the background that's wazzup!!!!
Game 2 was crazy I love it lmaooo exchange of the spirit is an exciting card lmaoo
One of the most fire episodes, just for the DK64 soundtrack!
Really good series lads, I'm thoroughly enjoying it! If I could make 1 comment: it's a pity that Alex started playing Twin Headed Thunder Dragon too.

if one of y'all don't pull up with an Exodia strategy one of these weeks, I'ma be so sad.
Just got home from work. What a treat!
WOW the cut on that trap hole...
"Just a little off the top!"
Guys I just got the Crimson king pack and I can't wait to use it to DESTROY-erm Defeat my enemies in a brutal manner (Thanks Paul for helping me get back in the game)
Welcome back!
THE TIME WIZZAAAADDD!!
What is this amazing Banjo Kazooie music?!
I always just root for who is behind so this series goes on as long as it can
They need to make Retro Pack tournaments or like the Epic Dawn battlepacks
Whoever pulls the most pieces of Exodia has to give their opponent their pieces.
That was an unfortunate game 1 end for the duelist who lost (avoiding spoilers for anyone reading the comment section early). Love the segment as always and well done, both of y'all!
The DK64 music is killing me 😂😂😂😂
Another great duel from you two 🔥
You gotta use the new skin for Neuron that is basically the same LP counter as the one in the show for the next episodes! (If they haven't been recorded, of course)
I like the jarhead haircut Alec
RETRO RIVALS… LETS GOO!! 🎉
I never thought I'd leave a Team APS video thinking "Man I really wanna play DK64 now"
I'm here eating a Chipotle Burrito and loosing my s#!t over this duel
The thing about exchange of the spirit I like is that it doesn't say you both have to have 15. So my opponent can have 5 while I have 15, and it will still activate.
If yall played duel links early on you’d know just chaining thunder dragons is huge. Its so consistent when you have the cards.
The DK64 in the opening 🤝
Followed up with cranky’s lab 🤌🏽
I love this series so much
Good duel Kenan & Kel 👌🏻
I really like this series, i catch myself always looking forward to the next vid and get hyped whenever u guys drop
Everytime i see Thunder Dragon, Is this FORBIDDEN MEMORIES!?
Paul is 😍 amazing!!!
Wow, last time I was this early I was told "it happens to every man from time to time"
This is so fun to watch.
Loving this series so much! any chance of retro rivals 2? can even just open packs online and play the cards in person!
3-3 to 3-3 we tied up baby lets go 😊
retro duels are like the only way to play yugioh without going bankrupt and have fun now days
Once this series is over, please make it a season 1. We need a season 2
Excuse me but was that Banjo Kazooie - Grunty’s lair? Followed up by Treasure Cove (with monkey sounds!)?!
Dang the APS boys have good taste. Wish we were friends in the late 90’s
You should do elemental hero and destiny hero duel please 😊
The deserved million subscribers first yugioh channel
DK64 music in the vid lets gooooo
I think it would be okay for the duelists to trade any card they have more than 3 of.
Man the Relinquished and Senju combo is so strong, as well as the Thunder Dragon combo. I didn't expect Twin-headed Thunder Dragons to be so good XD unlike Blue-eyes....poor Blue-eyes....I mean I don't think he's lasted more than 1 turn. Also, 1.4k likes turned to 1.5k with my like :D That's a first.
Pro bono shirt idea: Draw Summon Set Repeat
Amazing ❤❤
Nice duel y’all!
I love that dk64 Soundtracks in the Background
Love your Videos, keep going 👍
That finish though!
