Ancient sanctuary is my favorite from this opening. Not the best set, but the most nostalgic. I remember buying a ton of these as a kid and pulling my first Zaborg, falling in love with Monarchs from there on
I really like the labyrinth of nightmare for some reason just my personal favorite here. My favorite card to pull from this set is a magic cylinder, One of my favorite cards of ALL TIME.
Loved labyrinth of nightmare. Was so stoked as a kid to potentially get magic cylinder for the first time after seeing it on the anime. Most of the cards from the Battle City arc were amazing XD.
really liked how the old foiling was unique to the actual artwork as seen on the first sarcophagus rather than just a full mirror-like sheet of foiling on the new cards
For ancient sanctuary it’d be cool to see a Spirit of the pharaoh ultra rare! Any ultra rare from LON is good in my opinion. I feel like these sets aren’t as popular but you can’t deny the old school art work from these 2 sets are amazing!
Dark magician of chaos (Breaker and chaos command magician tied for second) has always been my favourite card. Invasion of chaos was the best booster, it really changed the game. I remember during that format getting back that spell which was usually raigeki or feather duster was just so good. I remember I got mine by trading for a secret rare gate guardian from a little kid. Kind of feel bad for ripping off the kid but I needed that card. I miss IoC so much. Also, I remember seeing IoC cards have those printing issues alot, so might not be wear.
There may not have been any huge pulls and Ancient Sanctuary may not be the most popular set, but I always love any older pack openings. I always liked Card of Safe Return, good looking card haha. And even though that DMoC has been tarnished, it’s still IOC 1st edition which is the best card ever.
Labirint of nightmare and Magic ruler are absolutely nostalgic. Non as much as Metal Raider and Legend of blue eyes, but anyway you can't go wrong with those vintage packages.
Labyrinth of Nightmare and Ancient Sanctuary are always 2 of my more favorite old sets. LON was really when I started playing a deck, though it was really bad. I remember being the only person around that had a Gemini Elf 1st edition. I later got a Magic Cylinder from a tin that someone tried to jack at work, only they left most of the cards. So I got to buy them for a discount and it had 4 foils. I remember Cylinder being the big one, forget the rest. AST simply because it was where I got End of Anubis from, one of my favorite cards ever. I remember driving Zombie players crazy with it and tricking people into destroying Necrofear, only to Book of Moon Anubis before the End Phase. Definitely Gear Golem is my favorite from your pulls though. That card is nice looking. Also, yeah that DMOC does look like maybe it was played. I once had both a Luster Dragon and Solemn Judgment that I pulled from packs that had no name at all. They didn't have the imprint of the name either. I did once have an Injection Fairy Lily I got in a trade that was doctored. Whoever had it before the guy that traded it to me had attempted to trim the edges like Arkana did in the anime. It didn't work the way they planned though.
I'd have to say I agree with a lot of the comments that Ancient Sanctuary doesn't get enough love. I'm not horribly complaining though because it made them really affordable but I just love the themes and artwork in that set. As a kid I pulled Sanctuary in the Sky and I still look back on that card a lot and admire how beautiful the artwork is. That said though, I also thing Magic Ruler doesn't get nearly enough love. The commons are hit and miss but the Toons and Relinquished and the broken Magic cards are so insanely nostalgic and cool. I also love the whole Magic/Spell controversy, adds some fun lore to it all LOL.
My favorite card is Dark Paladin from Duel Masters Guide. My dad got me one for Christmas so it has warm memories associated with it. Plus he's a dragon slayer lol
I have very little connection with a lot of older sets, but I am starting to appreciate sets like Ancient Sanctuary as sort of an underdog amongst the classic sets
Favorite pack opened was LON. Everyone wanted Gemini elf and magic cylinder. Such an iconic pack. I pulled two magic cylinders in my day and was king of the world
Magic Ruler is my favorite, but opening any of these packs would be fun and exciting let alone all of them in one video. Ancient Sanctuary is very underrated. Old sets just don't miss.
I remember pulling The end of Anubis from ancient sanctuary, like 15 years ago. I still have the card, it's a trashy secret but it holds sentimental value because I have a pretty bad luck but when I was a teenager it was a great pull.
Was it just me, or did it seem like the back of the card was a different colour when it was a holo? Wondering if that’s a common print error/feature of some of the older packs
I love ancient sanctuary because its code (AST) is the same as a family members name. I especially like Wall of revealing light in that set as I played it in a final countdown goat deck alot.
When I was 12. Mum: "Stop playing with those silly cards and do your homework". Me: slowly turns Spell Economics over. I can't pick a favourite, I love them all equally...
i opened these packs back in the day at booksamillion very nostalgic i had a solar flare lava golem deck with a secret and ultimate first ed lava golem
Love seeing AST get opened! One of my favorite sets and doesn’t get as much appreciation as it should. The older blisters are crazy to see too. Really brings me back to when they were everywhere. Send you a DM on Insta about the AST cards!
Definitely my favourite is Ancient Sanctuary because i love nostaligc cards and my favourite card, i could sound a little bit lame, but i love the Swordsman of Landstar cuz im such an big fan of Joey Wheeler and this card is so iconic for him!
I remember buying my forest pack from an ice cream truck back in 2003 I think, it was a magic ruler lol , after that my mom bought me a booster box, I was in elementary school at the time and didn’t know shit about building decks lmao, me and my brother would just put in all the cool cards and play.
I would.never be able to keep anything sealed. Also great to see the magician of black chaos made his return. Thanks for sharing ruxin. Hope you have a good day and holidays
I feel like those AST packs were reseals…they’re scuffed, inexpensive, and I feel like every time you opened a pack with a foil, I could see the foil was a different color hue on the back than the other commons.
Ancient Sanctuary is pretty neat. Can't decide for sure, but I think it's my favorite of these packs. LoB is really cool, but maybe I've seen it opened too much lol
For me, I really enjoy AST because I really like The Santuary in the Sky archetype. Yeah, if I could still get some of these old school packs (especially GX ones) for $1.99, you bet I would bought out the store immediately haha.
The 1st edition ancient sanctuary were my favourite, very nostalgic. I used to get 1 pack of yugioh a week as allowance and I think a lot of that was ancient sanctuary and labyrinth of nightmare
Magic Ruler Would Be My #1 Favorite Which Features Toon World, Axe Of Despair, Black Pendant And The Blue Eyes Toon Dragon. And Thank You RUXIN For Making This Possible.
Even though ancient sanctuary isn’t the most valuable. It’s very nostalgic to me so that’s my favorite for me from this opening
SHE IS VERY NOSTALGIC TO MEEEEE🙋♂️
I have a similar relationship with Rise of Destiny, growing up my local dollar tree had packs of that set and hoo boi did i have a lot of Harpie Girls

You can tell every time a foil is coming from ancient sanctuary with the way the back looks of them.. the color is different
really liked how the old foiling was unique to the actual artwork as seen on the first sarcophagus rather than just a full mirror-like sheet of foiling on the new cards
Those Magic Ruler really bring it back. My search for toons in that set brings back memories. And the pack art is amazing.
For ancient sanctuary it’d be cool to see a Spirit of the pharaoh ultra rare! Any ultra rare from LON is good in my opinion. I feel like these sets aren’t as popular but you can’t deny the old school art work from these 2 sets are amazing!

When I was a child I loved that Poison Mummy artwork; I think I'll go for Pharaonic Guardian for the nostalgia
Love some Ruxin old school openings! Always awesome to see these old packs opened! Thanks Rux for all the great videos you post for us!!
These old packs opening are legit, cant wait for more videos like this.
My favorite card is Dark Paladin from Duel Masters Guide. My dad got me one for Christmas so it has warm memories associated with it. Plus he's a dragon slayer lol
Crazy how they said $1.99 for original price. Here in Colorado at the time. Those things were no less than $3.99
Ancient Sanctuary probably has top 10 best sleeve art in the YGO in my opinion. Very clean and easy on the eye.
Love seeing the old sets opened. Love Pharaonic Guard just from all the amazing commons.
I have very little connection with a lot of older sets, but I am starting to appreciate sets like Ancient Sanctuary as sort of an underdog amongst the classic sets
Favorite pack opened was LON. Everyone wanted Gemini elf and magic cylinder. Such an iconic pack. I pulled two magic cylinders in my day and was king of the world
I love blisters for the old sets, the artwork were always so well done
Man if the Sarcophagus conditions weren't so ridiculous to fulfill, Spirit of the Pharaoh could have been a sick card in the synchro era.
Magic Ruler is my favorite, but opening any of these packs would be fun and exciting let alone all of them in one video. Ancient Sanctuary is very underrated. Old sets just don't miss.
7:08 'order to smash not a bad card' I see you Ruxin. Making some big plays
"Neelay"... Not "Nile"? Like "The Nile River"?
😅🤷♂️
Love these older openings! Keep up the great content!
Ancient Sanctuary gave me my first holo pull back in the day. Really cool seeing these old sets.
Wish they still did blisters like this with the pack art on the cardboard. Looked sooooo good
That Magic Ruler blister was my favourite. I remember our packs here being not as cheap as 1.99. I probably would have bought them
All the monsters related with the ancient egypt make "ancient sanctuary" my favourite set among these opened !!
Can you talk about why you say only Gemini Elf comes out of blisters. Or where reverse holos come from?
When you mention these things it's intriguing
I remember pulling The end of Anubis from ancient sanctuary, like 15 years ago.
I still have the card, it's a trashy secret but it holds sentimental value because I have a pretty bad luck but when I was a teenager it was a great pull.
Ancient Santuary blister are so rare; lovely to see them opened keep up the great Content
Was it just me, or did it seem like the back of the card was a different colour when it was a holo? Wondering if that’s a common print error/feature of some of the older packs
Lon is such a cool set. I remember gemini elf being played at 1900 attack as something divine :D
I love ancient sanctuary because its code (AST) is the same as a family members name. I especially like Wall of revealing light in that set as I played it in a final countdown goat deck alot.
The old school openings, can’t go wrong with classic pulls. Wish I was there to buy these sets when they were new
i remember getting LON alot as a kid so fun to watch these get opened
Ancient sanctuary is my favorite because that was the set I purchased when i was a kid. Now im an adult and missed out on all these sets
Magic Ruler is one of my favorite sets...hoping to see a Snatch Steal as I remember pulling that as a kid!
My favorite is AST. I love the color and the artwork of all the cards. Its not a great pack, but its always going to be one of my favorites.
When I was 12. Mum: "Stop playing with those silly cards and do your homework". Me: slowly turns Spell Economics over. I can't pick a favourite, I love them all equally...
i opened these packs back in the day at booksamillion very nostalgic i had a solar flare lava golem deck with a secret and ultimate first ed lava golem
Spell Ruler is probably my favorite one. I still have a Delinquent Duo from back in the days pulled from Magic Ruler!
Delinquent Duo was always a amazing looking card.. I also love Relinquished. Double Coston was always a very solid Rare lol
Love seeing AST get opened! One of my favorite sets and doesn’t get as much appreciation as it should. The older blisters are crazy to see too. Really brings me back to when they were everywhere.
Send you a DM on Insta about the AST cards!
Definitely my favourite is Ancient Sanctuary because i love nostaligc cards and my favourite card, i could sound a little bit lame, but i love the Swordsman of Landstar cuz im such an big fan of Joey Wheeler and this card is so iconic for him!

I would.never be able to keep anything sealed. Also great to see the magician of black chaos made his return. Thanks for sharing ruxin. Hope you have a good day and holidays
Labyrinth of nightmare is my fav. But they’re all so nostalgic. Crazy cool opening.
I wish they would reprint these sets like the newer mini boxes or bring back a run of the OG six tins
favorite pack you oopend was the ancient sanctuary and favorite card is stone statue of aztecs just looks amazing
AST holos are more light colour from behind every time I new it was a holo it was more light colour
I feel like those AST packs were reseals…they’re scuffed, inexpensive, and I feel like every time you opened a pack with a foil, I could see the foil was a different color hue on the back than the other commons.
Always liked the Magic/Spell Ruler packs. I bought a bunch of them when I was younger. From all the cards you pull, Gear Golem is pretty nice!
it is funny to me how you almost got al of the sarcophagus, but hey, at least the first one has some cool foiling...
Pharaonic guardian is my favourite pack opened today! And of course a metamorphosis was pulled
Ancient Sanctuary is pretty neat. Can't decide for sure, but I think it's my favorite of these packs. LoB is really cool, but maybe I've seen it opened too much lol
Labyrinth of nightmare is so classic love the secret rares magic cylinder and gemini elf, warrior from another planet is also sick.
I love how you do the Joey voice it's incredible
“If you need a gigabyte for your computer”
I heard Joe Swanson’s voice 😂😂😂
Card of safe return is a favorite of mine. Tough to use in goat, however i did play against someone who used ectoplasm and the doll card with it
any opening with mrl/ srl instantly becomes one of my favorites one of my favorite sets
Appreciate the amount of vintage packs that you have opened recently!
Love these old school openings good a fairly good amount of foils which was nice to see
For me, I really enjoy AST because I really like The Santuary in the Sky archetype. Yeah, if I could still get some of these old school packs (especially GX ones) for $1.99, you bet I would bought out the store immediately haha.
I'll always have a soft spot for magic ruler since I remember opening so much of it with my friend as a kid
I loved the Ancient Sanctuary packs! That foiling look so fresh man ✨
Night assailant will always be nostalgic fun the anime episode with dungeon dice monsters.
Definitely PGD for me. Love those ancient Egyptian themed cards and freaky arts.
Anybody notice the supers in ancient sanctuary are a lighter shade of brown on the back
very nostalgic indeed! love the old stuff!
ive always loved the ancient sanctuary packs but never pulled anything good but thats my favorite pack art next to magicians force
Ancient Sanctuary is for some reason just the most nostalgic
Flame Dancer from LON is the first card I ever had. I found it on the ground and have been hooked ever since!
My favorite was MRD just because that's the first set I got a secret rare from.
But from your packs, LON would have to be the winner.
My fav card is defo last warrior from a different planet just love the art and its so funny to summon it with waking the dragon
The 1st edition ancient sanctuary were my favourite, very nostalgic. I used to get 1 pack of yugioh a week as allowance and I think a lot of that was ancient sanctuary and labyrinth of nightmare
I enjoyed watching you open those Labyrinth of Nightmare packs because they remind me of that weird box you opened with Jarvis haha
price appraisal edits on these would be SUPER dope
Love seeing these old pack being open. And you got both the Rare Hunter's best defense monsters 🤣🤣
absolutely agree with the other people in the comments saying AST is their favourite. it's the nostalgia for me too
I love every pack you opened. But when i have to choose i go for the 1st ed Labrynth of Nightmare for sure
Favorite old school set was (besides IOC) would have to be Pharoahic guardian (had insane luck in the pack)
Magic Ruler Would Be My #1 Favorite Which Features Toon World, Axe Of Despair, Black Pendant And The Blue Eyes Toon Dragon. And Thank You RUXIN For Making This Possible.
Great vid, love the old blister openings!
I choosing magic ruler and labyrinth of nightmare, I even saw a blister of magic ruler at a trading card shop at Ottawa!
I always liked the St Joan artwork. I wish that fusion got a new version,
Man the magic ruler blister looks so nice, if i had one i would never open it
Lets freaking go dude, I love vintage openings.
Pharinic guardian is always one of my favorites pulled a lava golem when I was a kid
I think the scuffing is just from bouncing around in the loose blister plastic
I remember opening these old sets when I was a kid, wish I kept that collection now haha
Wow these original classic packs are really something else, love seeing them opened!
I'm a sucker for old school DM sets, no particular preference between them though. Hope to see some sick holos!
It has to be LoN for me, i enjoyed getting these at the gas station within walking distance when i was a kid. That pull was awesome!
You pulled very nice cards, and ir curse, one of my favs ever.... the gear golem the moving fortress, i rally love that card and used it a lot
The daek magician of chaos was my favorite card. One of my favorites from back in the day.
Labyrinth of nightmare! Love the artwork in this set!
