*Hey, do you ever wonder if there's a new Team APS video about dueling with fake Yu-Gi-Oh structure decks purchased from AliExpress? Well, it's your lucky day!* 😄
The fact that the blank was in there lent more hilarity to the situation than I could ever imagine. A lazy creation ended up being gold whenever it showed up.
For anyone who constantly has nostalgia goggles about old school yugioh, this is basically it. Both players have decks that are a basically random assortment of cards, one player follows the rules, and the other keeps making crap up so they complain to an authority figure to settle disputes. It's like an unintentional time capsule.
I mean, true... But I would argue, that's partly because we were kids. I'd bend the rules with bullshit, knowingly inconsistent interpretations (and translations if I had japanese cards), but only if I knew I could get away with it/the other person didn't have a strong enough grasp of the rules to call me on it. You're not going to get away with that with 2 adults who know the rules (unless they're just toying around like in this video). Granted, a consequence of the game coming out in an early stage internet was that there wern't as many sources you could use to sus out oddly written or confusing cards. So these kinds of debates probably were more common, even amongst players who had a strong grasp of the rules.
He choose a powerful effect for a catch-up mechanic, rather than just saying "this card deals 8000 points of effect damage." or "banish your entire deck." or "I play up to 5 cards from my extra deck ignoring their summon conditions."
The production quality, the sass from Larry, the rule bending from Alec, grade A stuff guys!!! Keep up the phenomenal work! You guys make Yugioh so much more fun than it already is with these kinds of videos!
I've got to say that Paul's editing has become way better and so has his comedic timing and cuts. This has been a hilarious video, even if I don't know how to play yugimon
Paul’s your Astral. LOL Now I can’t imagine Paul as anything BUT a glowing Astral being of incomprehensible power, searching for his lost memories by acquiring the fake number cards.
The blank card was dope!! Larry done stepped his Yu-Gi-Oh game up and Alec still got the heart of the fake cards x) nice vid y'all I remember I dueled Alec in fort worth with Larry watching before he was as cold at Yu-Gi-Oh like nowadays I hope we can duel again one day my friends! Titan wall of revealing light on dem boys
13:15 "Ill chain my blank card to destroy all cards on the field!" "what do you mean your chaining?!" "it's also a hand trap monster ;)" "when???" "Oh just whenever..." Lmfaoooo i died💀😂😂
Honestly, for being normal monsters in the hand cards, they weren't too bad. But jokes aside, Larry actually had a cohesive deck somehow while yours looked like Garnet city lol.
Holy shit. I couldn’t stop laughing. The back and forth is just amazing. Hahah oh man, okay.. I completely lost it when Alec played the blank card again. Larry in shire disbelief. The constant bluffing and interpreting was so fucking good.
I love how he uses a blank card and makes up whatever effects he wants...but when Larry plays fairly with his crap cards he says "this ain't right"...then follows up with "every turn is another chance to interpret the cards" lol
the fact that he didn't think about just having the blank card be " when played, this card acts as creator of light " ( creator of light when plays ends the duel , the opponent can't win, and the player wins. all of those effects. )
I have never seen a textless fake card. Every fake card i have has English text (However broken English it is). I even have fake cards with text from my mother language (Bulgarian). I would love to see more fake deck duels.
I really like how this video was structured (no pun intended); the camera work was great, the banter had me laughing the whole time, AND I got to see some Goukis! 10/10
_"That's a Ritual monster." "I was gonna interpret it differently." "You can't 'interpret' game mechanics!"_ _"No, I lost my 'The Dark Dragon with True Eyes'! ...I'm gonna interpret something to get it back."_ Ah, I see you fine gentlemen are playing by Season 1 rules. You can just imagine Yugi and Kaiba bickering like this.
😂😂😂 "Paul stay out of this damnit" The desperation was so clear in his voice, I want that on a tshirt for Larry (Also some fan art of Alec as Yuma with Paul as astral in the background)
I just love how Alec has to interpret his fake cards while Larry over here has some actual YGO bullshit strats on his side. *cough cough* Gouki *cough cough.* I am serious though. That is TOO GOOD for a "structure deck." XD
Shame this ended so quickly, larry just had a deck that actually worked together fairly well. Would definitely love to see more of these, I had a huge box of fake cards as a kid that are unfortunately gone at this point. All I remember is all the different variants of summoned lord exodia with infinite attack
How bad are the fake Yugioh cards? Magic player myself, and we have had so many generations of fakes over the years, that they are starting to get pretty good.
Yugioh fakes have always been awful. I think it's a liabilty thing - they can always claim if Konami try to sue 'These aren;t Yugioh cards, they're actually our OC creation Shmugiyoh cards. Totally different!'.
The ones we had back in the day were awesome, basically incomprehensible abominations that were almost entirely original with fake art and all. Everything read like it just came out of 15 different translators and the guy that made them was only vaguely aware of the concept of the game.
Ok Alec, here is how you interpret a blank card. "Declare one card name: This card becomes that card and gains its effects. If the declared card is a monster, this card gains that monster's Attribute, Type, ATK, and DEF as well."
Honestly the fake stuff throws up some of the funniest shiz, from the 19th century English to the straight up poorly named cards that aren't even close @UltimateBaseballKid who I'm fairness is ultimate with 5000 ATK for no sacrifice but doesn't look like a MLB player or a child
they really just forgot that normal monster is a card type and let him summon a high level monster because in the hand it counts as not having an effect
Shout out to all the APS team members, but Larry and Alec are my favourites, so when they come together to do a duel, especially w fake one like these, its absolutely hilarious. They have good chemistry. Awesome video, fun times! 😂😂😂
4:55 Even if a card that normally cannot be Normal Summoned can be because of another card, or in this case itself, when Normal Summoning you must still Tribute. Vanilla cards Normal Summoning require Tribute after all. I would have judge called this play as requiring two Tributes. I have an old fake deck too. There is a Guardian of the Throne Room with over 16000 ATK and DEF, still LV4. Also many Spells and Traps also have ATK and DEF.
Larry and Alec!!!! This is awesome!!! Such a sweet episode. This is why fake cards are so over powered. (Fake cards are still awesome). Just don’t use in a tournament or event!!!
*Hey, do you ever wonder if there's a new Team APS video about dueling with fake Yu-Gi-Oh structure decks purchased from AliExpress? Well, it's your lucky day!* 😄
We thank you for your sacrafice
All day every day
Guys, I needed this.
Have you ever heard of the new archetype...
Their called Suships, if not it so, would you play them, and what build will you play.
Alec shoulda said its the cyberse secretary is spell speed 4 😭😭
The fact that the blank was in there lent more hilarity to the situation than I could ever imagine. A lazy creation ended up being gold whenever it showed up.
That was some Duelist Kingdom make things up as we go along junk for sure
Overpowered needs nerf.
It's that card that Banner gave to Jaden that he decided was Fusion Recovery.
“JUDGE! HE CHEATIN!”
-Larry, during one of your skits, and prolly during this video too
No, he's interpreting, man...
@@codyboothe2310 dude chill the fck out u also can't use fake cards, this is fun chill out
@@darkousdragon1166 besides, he still lost, so it doesn't matter Even on that regard
I swear Larry looked like he was about to jump over that table when he keeps playing that blank card.
Or when he kept adding effects when Larry went to do his effects.
can't even XD
The rat bastard
@@Trisdale Sounds like old school yugioh to me
"It's also a hand trap"
Ah, Link Summoning. That well-known mechanic that Joey Wheeler introduced in ARC-V.
Stop spreading false Info, it was obviously introduced in 5Ds
It was introduced in season 0 by Miho Nosaka
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And the mechanic Yugi introduced: Cheating
I still haven't got over how they robbed my boy Spa Roba in his duel againist Z-arc
“Rampant cheating” - Larry, 2021
And he still lost xD
Best line of the video
I literally saw this comment the EXACT time Larry said that lol
Larry: That's a ritual monster...
Alec: I was going to interpret it differently.
*Pro King of Games play*

This is accurate that's how it also worked at the high school lunch table

That blank card could've been OP but Alec keep it something reasonable which made it exciting.
Nuking the field was fair? He made them do exactly what he needed to crawl out of losing at the time. 😆
@@ndt7379 Fair if you consider he could've just said he wins if he draws it or some garbage like that but that is bad content
@@ndt7379 it was the fairest thing to do for nuking the field. He could have added damage to let him win the game for each card destroyed
He choose a powerful effect for a catch-up mechanic, rather than just saying "this card deals 8000 points of effect damage." or "banish your entire deck." or "I play up to 5 cards from my extra deck ignoring their summon conditions."
I'm glad they did a little trading to make the duel more exciting
The production quality, the sass from Larry, the rule bending from Alec, grade A stuff guys!!!
Keep up the phenomenal work!
You guys make Yugioh so much more fun than it already is with these kinds of videos!
I've got to say that Paul's editing has become way better and so has his comedic timing and cuts. This has been a hilarious video, even if I don't know how to play yugimon
Yugimon xD
*eye twitches* sir, this isn’t yugimon, this is digimon 😂
You mean Di-Gi-Oh?
@@jaundicedmisanthrope7817 I hate how much that works lol
@@Shinypokemon77 it was meant to be funny but ok
imagine getting a fake structure deck and ended up having full power gouki... you love to see it
I like how Gouki overpowered even made up effects created specifically for the situation 😂
Paul’s your Astral. LOL
Now I can’t imagine Paul as anything BUT a glowing Astral being of incomprehensible power, searching for his lost memories by acquiring the fake number cards.
Wait Astral also has lost memories? Damn they really did just copy the whole Yugi and Atem storyline with Yuma and Astral
@@TeenPerspektiva zexal weas basically a reimagination of DM with the same director, in a nutshell
@bruhmanofyear2 yeah no 😂
But its alright. Much better than ArcV, Vrains and whatever other garbage they tried to make later.
@@TheRealFreakyFishGuy interesting
@bruhmanofyear2 not really, that one is just the worst one
Larry's reactions to everything had me dying. I kinda wish they both had more poorly written cards like last time lolol.
Alec: Diplomatic description of what's going to go down.
Larry: What's actually going to go down.
Alec trying to climb out of that hole at the end was great, really trying to finesse Larry and Paul 😂
I think justice was served with Larry beating that OP blank card lol
Larry going: "...judge..."
killed me XD
awesome job LOL
and paul be like "Sir?" made it perfect unscripted
The blank card was dope!! Larry done stepped his Yu-Gi-Oh game up and Alec still got the heart of the fake cards x) nice vid y'all I remember I dueled Alec in fort worth with Larry watching before he was as cold at Yu-Gi-Oh like nowadays I hope we can duel again one day my friends!

13:15
"Ill chain my blank card to destroy all cards on the field!"
"what do you mean your chaining?!"
"it's also a hand trap monster ;)"
"when???"
"Oh just whenever..."
Lmfaoooo i died💀😂😂
Omg I couldn't stop laughing Larry's responses and reactions where amazing lmao
'I don't need to come up with effects' tries to summon gouki rematch
My hands always feel awful after touching fake cards! In your opinion were these good or bad fakes?
Almost on the good side, but the fact there's a blank effect card was hilarious.
Honestly, for being normal monsters in the hand cards, they weren't too bad.
But jokes aside, Larry actually had a cohesive deck somehow while yours looked like Garnet city lol.
Loving the different camera angles guys. Great production
The dynamic between Alec and Larry is awesome
Holy shit. I couldn’t stop laughing. The back and forth is just amazing. Hahah oh man, okay.. I completely lost it when Alec played the blank card again. Larry in shire disbelief.
The constant bluffing and interpreting was so fucking good.
7:25 the best convo starter to a duel 😂
that was hilarious Larry the entire time was about to do some real lifepoint damage to alec because of the "interpreting" of the cards LMFAO
I love how he uses a blank card and makes up whatever effects he wants...but when Larry plays fairly with his crap cards he says "this ain't right"...then follows up with "every turn is another chance to interpret the cards" lol
"LightsworM" LOL, and when his opponent said "Illegal-ass play" when he used the cards that only worked for LightsworN monsters.
Well, if they used DNA Surgery to make all monsters Reptile-type, they could use that Lightsworm as a Reptile-type "Worm" monster instead :)
@@tails55 ayyyyyyy XD
The production value and editing just keeps getting better on these. And the look Larry gave had me dying.
LMFAOOOO Larry saying "rampant cheating" while making that face took me out!!! kept me laughing all through the video love this
Lol 😂 🤣 would be epic if there were official fake yugioh duels competitions tourneys would be funny asfk
It would be funny but unfair
the fact that he didn't think about just having the blank card be " when played, this card acts as creator of light " ( creator of light when plays ends the duel , the opponent can't win, and the player wins. all of those effects. )
Larry’s expressions whenever Alec played that blank card just made this video
I have never seen a textless fake card. Every fake card i have has English text (However broken English it is). I even have fake cards with text from my mother language (Bulgarian). I would love to see more fake deck duels.
I really like how this video was structured (no pun intended); the camera work was great, the banter had me laughing the whole time, AND I got to see some Goukis! 10/10
I love that he looks at the judge to make a ruling on a fucking blank card.
_"That's a Ritual monster." "I was gonna interpret it differently." "You can't 'interpret' game mechanics!"_
_"No, I lost my 'The Dark Dragon with True Eyes'! ...I'm gonna interpret something to get it back."_
Ah, I see you fine gentlemen are playing by Season 1 rules. You can just imagine Yugi and Kaiba bickering like this.
“There’s interpreting, then there’s bold-faced bullshitting”
Larry would be my favorite YuGiOh protagonist.
"Rampent cheating" best interpretation quote ever! Lol!
Someone had fun with the editing this time XD Looks really great props to whoever Cut this together.
Now THIS is old school Yugioh alright, where every kid would just twist the card effects to their liking.
😂😂😂
"Paul stay out of this damnit"
The desperation was so clear in his voice, I want that on a tshirt for Larry
(Also some fan art of Alec as Yuma with Paul as astral in the background)
I just love how Alec has to interpret his fake cards while Larry over here has some actual YGO bullshit strats on his side. *cough cough* Gouki *cough cough.*
I am serious though. That is TOO GOOD for a "structure deck." XD
Love the chaotic editing style and banter on this one. Really suits the ridiculousness of the duel! Keep it up APS
The fact that Larry got an actual deck with gouki and with 3 copies of most of them is hilarious
5:08 im crying at this point, judge help me please
Shame this ended so quickly, larry just had a deck that actually worked together fairly well. Would definitely love to see more of these, I had a huge box of fake cards as a kid that are unfortunately gone at this point. All I remember is all the different variants of summoned lord exodia with infinite attack
These two have the best energy ever🤣🤣 had me dying the entire time
The editor did an amazing job also!
This is the funniest duel I have ever watched
More people should watch this video, 10/10.
You guys should duel with more fake decks AND both people should get a couple of blank cards.
The "you have one!?" had me deflated 🤣
3:53
When you play against a custom card player on duelingbook
Didnt even know they had fake structure decks lol damn
That blank card should have sent Larry to the shadow realm
That moment when reverse summon is the new mechanic coming out
Ok so I can normal summon my blue eyes white dragon without tribute while this is in the hand cards
Would have been hilarious if they checked an actual trash bin when Alec asked "What's in your Trash?".
3:36 JAJAJAJ He became the protagonist, he used the power of the pharaoh Yami Yugi XD hahahaha
8:45 this quote could have been used in the anime too 🤣
I love how one deck was an actual Goki.structure-deck but the other deck had the legendary, BLANKU KARDO

>Literally has a card that can do anything
Just win the duel 4head
Maaan, I laughed REALLY hard with Alec's interpretations. Excellent video, guys!
Alec reminds me of that one kid at grade school who'd have Japanese cards and just make up their effects cuz we couldn't look them up
The blank card: The ultimate broken card.
That would be dope if it was official. It would be a super ultra quadruple secret whisper rare.
the power of the blank card
"When this card gets sent to the graveyard, you win the duel"
Honestly the fake stuff throws up some of the funniest shiz, from the 19th century English to the straight up poorly named cards that aren't even close @UltimateBaseballKid who I'm fairness is ultimate with 5000 ATK for no sacrifice but doesn't look like a MLB player or a child
Daaamn, the editing in this video is on fire!! Loved it!
Naw it's A1
That blank card couldve had so many quick effects. Crazy.
they really just forgot that normal monster is a card type and let him summon a high level monster because in the hand it counts as not having an effect

gottdamn fake card duels from aps have me lolllin hard. love it keep up!!!!
I don't like playing yu-gi-oh but I love your channels content. I need more of it

This cards are literally everywhere in our hometown so we had no choice but to duel with fake cards
Shouldve pulled a Paradox and used the blank card to just steal their best monster
I wanna see a duel where every card is a blank card
Larry and Alec!!!! This is awesome!!! Such a sweet episode. This is why fake cards are so over powered. (Fake cards are still awesome). Just don’t use in a tournament or event!!!
Yes, and it's a good way to playtest or practice some decks before you buy the original ones
@@spotsthecat7913 Agreed
Literally nobody: ....
Alec: INTERPRET!
damn the simorgh one was really unfair, normal monster doesn't mean "can be summoned without tributing" bruh
hahah nice video as always, funny as hell
Thats just your interpretation though
Oh yeah I remember Yuma was from the slifer class dimension right? From arc-vrains I’m pretty sure.
I just love when my people argue confusion on BS 😂😂😂
Larry was in rare form for this one. Absolutely hilarious
I fucking died with the normal card crap. This is basically the anime🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Larry: "That's a ritual monster..."
Alec: "I was going to interpret differently"
Larry: 👊💥🤜💥🤛💥✊
Alec: 🤕 "okay, its a ritual monster"
This video had me cracking up, great comedic timing with the editing and the genuine reactions to the "interpretations".
This is the best idea ever, them fake cards be out of pocket. The same ones kids back in the day would try to trade for your real ones lol.
"Time to interpret something." 😂😂😂
Why not just say...the person who summons this card wins the match lol.
We need more interpretation duels
I see alec is taking a page out of the zexal manga with that blank card
Heart of the fake cards- lmao
The Larry and Alec interaction was hillarious
Ladies, get y'all a Larry.
This has to be the best duel we have ever gotten. I love it!
The mighty blank card, the one card that axe raider has no chance against.
