*Welcome back to the RARE HUNTERS! Hopefully you guys enjoy this new episode! We took some of your feedback and introduced a few new cards and rules! Let us know any other changes you'd like to see before we head into the next set: Pharaonic Guardian! Master Marik is watching!* 😈
Continue side sets for this series
Thank you guys for all this great content
Also the rare card you bet doesn’t have to be pulled from this episode only if you don’t pull one you can play. That way if you get unlucky from one episode you can bet another rare card you pulled from a previous episode
Thanks guys for getting me back into yugioh!
There was a missplay after the Fiber Jar. Alec did a second normal summon on his turn. If he didnt, Paul would win the game with a direct attack.
This series has been so damn fun I’m loving it
Alec going from "how is that card possibly going to help you?" to "wow I hate that card" in about 20 seconds was hilarious.
I like that the thumbnails devolve more and more, with them looking more insane with every episode XD
Doesn’t he look like an alternate art for pot of greed😆!
hahaha i get what you're saying
We're slowly slipping into the Shadow Realm 😈
At the end they gonna look like alternatives
Marik’s influence
Rare hunters are the so far best series you guys have made,keep up the good work!
Thanks! Will do!
Legend has it that Paul & Alex's Rare Hunter smiles grow wider every upload
Holy I just looked and it's true.
The inclusion of Dark Beginning is really exciting. Also hilarious that Paul pulled all the good staples from Dark Beginning and Alec somehow pulled trash in such a loaded pack LOL
At 23:54 when you use Call of the Haunted + Giant Trunade, the special summoned monster actually gets destroyed and sent to the graveyard. It's not like Premature Burial
Yeah Call of the Haunted says 'when it leaves the field.' I checked and all the erratas of it have those words.
I caught it too. Can’t blame em too much tho. It was a tense situation
They have been playing the old cards as written, ignoring the errata. some old good cards would actually suck with modern errata.
@@imminentgusta1563 What I was saying is that this combo would not work using any version of those cards.
They had another wrong call on Spirit Ryu. he can only use the effect when its HIS battel phase, not during damage step.
This is my favorite set of ALL time! I'm so glad to be able to relive opening LOD again 😭
Every time this series comes up, I am always so excited to watch! I can't wait to see what comes next.
We really appreciate the support! We're planning more twists and turn for this challenge 😁
@@TeamAPS Oh, I can't wait! I am sure master Marik will be pleased!
Glad Paul made a whole different turn to his deck, having a theme and almost winning with it
It’s really cool to see how your decks are evolving, and starting to actually develop strategies now. Interesting to see how the game has been gradually evolving with each subsequent set.
The *Spirit* archetype was one my personal favorites along with the original *Elemental Heroes* and *Flip Effect/Rock* archetypes too. Master Marik will be pleased seeing his Rare Hunters train even more. *Dark Chuckle* 🤭
Great series, I think seeing the deck evolve throughout the episodes and the fact that you guys are using cards that us casual yugioh fans recognize, is what makes this so entertaining.
This series is an instant classic, loved the deck building aspect this time, Paul's Fiends especially. Unfortunately, i believe i spotted a few mistakes on Alec's part: at 23:54 , Call leaving the field because of Giant Trunade would have destroyed Harpie's Brother. At 29:30 , isn't that Alec's second flip summon that turn ? He already flip summoned Spear Cretin. And at 32:28 , Spirit Ryu's effect can only activate during Alec's battle step. Still real fun duel !
Your definitely right about the spirit ryu and yeah harpies brother should have been destroyed when call of the haunted left the field
There's no limit to the amount of times you can flip summon in a turn. You are correct on the other matters though.
@@NN-ge2wf You're right, that's my mistake. Sorry for putting that one on you Alec .
Shame too, Call of the Haunted was relevant and the Spirit Ryu was massively relevant. Still entertaining regardless
Hey now, YuGiOh players have trouble with reading. We all know this haha
Can't fault them there. Easy mistake with Spirit Ryu. Call of the Haunted however? Yikes
Another really fun episode! One recommendation, especially with some of these older, less known cards, would it be possible to put an enlarged picture of the card when it's played? Just to give a chance to read the effect.
i don't even care about reading the effects since they explain them but i'd love to see the artwork clearly rather than tiny and possibly upside-down
Yes this, just like in those Power of Chaos games; if Team APS can still fit it in, would be cool
Spirit ryu only works during your battle step, and Call of the haunted leaving the field means the monster is destroyed. Shame cuz I think those mistakes may have altered the duel result lol But whatever, it would’ve been close either way
I think those 2 things put together probably lost Paul the dual, especially with how close it was
I thought Spirit Ryu's effect could only be used during owners turn.
You are correct. Alec misplayed with Call of the Haunted and Spirit Ryu.
@@SakuraAvalon And won too. How convenient.
@@vileluca I don’t think it was malicious on Alec’s part, but with these things and the duel where he got pissy about Swords getting used so much that Paul didn’t do it to avoid being Toxic but he ended with that deck out cyber jar bullshit, which was toxic. And then this, I love the energy he brings but it’s hard to enjoy him winning when it’s because of rules mistakes and guilting Paul into not being optimal in his plays.
@@shadowofhawk55 It's definitely not intentional. Both him and Paul have made plenty of mistakes and misplays in previous duels. That said, Alec tends to make mistakes more often.
Like when he won with the Crystal Beast Structure Deck, via a misplay.
I actually find it annoying though, that an incorrectly played card actually wins him the duel here. Otherwise it still could have gotten anyone's side... For the rest duels like this are still fun content
Love this series because this is how yugioh is meant to be played. Open packs over time to grow your collection, and edit your deck. Won’t win you tournaments but you’ll win with fun
I understand doing this series is an expensive occasion with these old sets, but this is one of things I look forward most to seeing come out. Really loving the content and these really fun duels :D
Lovin how Rare Hunters keep incorporating feedback! Thanks for the entertaining matches
Love watching this series
Hands down one of the best Yugioh series on CZcams. Always looking forward to the next installment!
There is a surprising amount of banishing going on for this early in Yu-Gi-Oh history. Wild stuff.
Yes I love this series! This is my Yu-Gi-Oh 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 keep up the good work fellas
This is OUR Yugioh! 🔥🔥🔥
I absolutely love this series! It’s so much fun seeing older cards I completely forgot about being used along with all the banned/limited cards. I actually cheered when Fiber Jar flipped.
I really liked this game, it was extremely balanced and I really liked the new decks you guys built. I really like the feeling of this duels, I'm really living again those 2008 vibes I miss so much from current yugioh
Best yugioh series. It's a damn shame you didn't start this with the professor. This is the best introduction to the game you could give somebody
Dang, these duels are getting closer and closer in terms of who comes out on top. You guys were neck and neck almost the whole time. It's awesome seeing these strategies get developed as well, watching you guys slowly form your decks into concise archetypes. Can't wait for the next one!
Gotta say, I've never been super into YuGiOh (besides collecting and trading for Dragon type monsters with my friends in middle school), but this has quickly become one of my favorite series to watch every week! Keep up the great work guys!
Amazing series guys. Just wanted to comment on the usage of Bait Doll. When it's effect resolves it is shuffled back into the owner's deck instead of being sent to the graveyard. I noticed Paul sent it to the GY after using it but he didn't have to!
I used bait doll a lot back in the day to deal with battle traps and the fact it could recycle itself into the deck was always extremely helpful.
Hope this comment helps and I'm looking forward to the next episode!
I love how the card that paul was most worried about got a way to exclude it from his opponents game unexpectedly. Great game fellas love the channel
Hold it! 23:57
Harpie's Brother would have been destroyed when Call left the field!
Pretty sure Alec's using _Giant Trunade_ to bounce _Call of the Haunted_ back to his hand would have destroyed _Harpy's Brother_ since the bounce back equals a "removed from the field", thus triggering the destruction effect.
That’s what I was thinking
yes, this combo only works with premature burial
what’s interesting about this is, if you go on long enough, you could probably pinpoint when Yu Gi Oh started to become “broken”. even though you guys have banned cards, like pot of greed, it’s still a close match. how many more matches till you start having incredibly long turns or instantly winning after a few turns?
Honestly, the broken nature of Yugioh really just comes from access to everything. Nothing will seem to powerful here since they can only get 1 of each, since they are both using the same card box.
3 words invasion of chaos or cybernetic revolution either one work
Even a modern deck will play closer to this if they just pull a handful of random boosters. The crazy consistency comes from having 3x of all your best starters and a full extra deck toolbox to access what you need. Look at how many times they resolved pot of greed this game and how many times they just set and passed for their turn
If you follow the Japanese game. It was broken from the start. Leading to some dominate decks very early on. And then a burn deck became meta.
Not to mention Delinquent Duo, Confiscation, and Forceful Sentry were at three at one point. So you could lose your entire hand going second.
And to top it all off, Konami liked to put meta defining cards as promos in 40-50$ games.
Over in the TCG, the game probably broke around the time Yata Lock was introduced to the game.
Early YGO reeks of a game that was made by people who didn't have experience running a card game(which it was), so degenerate cards were abundant. Like Delinquent Duo.
Modern YGO is the result of letting old cards stay legal. If old sets became illegal, power creep wouldn't be where it is today.
We have reach the type deck then the attribut deck will come the start of archétypes
Yeah this episode felt so much more fun to watch than the last few. They were good, but the gap between decks felt like it was getting a little too wide and this definitely closed it. Good game to you both.
Found you channel after The Professor collab and I have to say, your content has made me pick up laying yugioh. This series really encapsulates that early childhood experience of building with what you have. And I enjoy that. Love the inclusion of dark beginnings being used the way it is. Also love how you opened packs together at the end. Really made thr pulls feel hype. Great series.
This series is so good!
The fact that you play with real cards, makes this so special.
This was the best duel yet. So close, so many back and forth plays. Keep up the amazing work. I am always eager for the next episode each week.
It took me until today to realize the faces made in the thumbnails of this series were all different. And on top of that gets progressively more maniacal with each video. Love it!
this duel went BRRR so much back and forth and I love it
Good lord you guys are making me feel old now, makes you realize just how much time flies. All I can say is thank you for making this series and making me relive my childhood. Keep up the good work.
this one was fire. I really like how the decks strat going into archetyps. cant wait to see how this is going to continue
Absolutely love this series guys! I haven't played in a over a decade but seeing y'all open and play with all these old cards is really taking me back!
"more man eater bugs." Alec is this timeline's true villain.
It's so fun seeing the pace of the game slowly speed up and see some combos start to emerge. The fact that you both committed to a specific strategy instead of a deck sort of leaning towards one thing at the same time shows how good these newer cards are. And you've already started pulling archetype garnets like harpie lady sisters. I do feel like the winner should be getting two packs instead of one though, I get the idea of not letting one player get too far ahead but that one really hurt for Alec
This was a really good back and forth game. I feel like things have started to balance out again between the two
This was my favorite episode yet. That Sangan reborn was pretty sick.
I love the additions to the series. The new pack dynamics makes an even better cliff hanger that makes me extremely excited to see the next episode. My only critisim is to next time just flip the camera view in post so we can see sere Alex's cards right side up because those were amazing last min pulls. Sucks to see Alex's rare card bite him in the back but it was a hell of a way to end the duel
Paul actually got the ridiculous pulls, not Alec.
7 years of yugioh content. Damn. Most people on Yt’s most recent video on this like the og players. Would be around 3 years ago but you guys are still going, I just really appreciate and enjoy your content
We can't escape Yugioh no matter how hard we try 😂
It’s so fun to watch the decks progress differently as y’all move through the sets
Man this really takes me back. I had so much fun watching this. I've always wanted a Fiber Jar as a kid because I really like the artwork.
I would say this is the best rare hunter episode it was super close throughout the whole thing….. this is the type of duel that should be going on today
Which is why I stand that Oldschool yugioh was the best.
24:00 when spells traps are added back to hand that would make it so the monster summoned with call of the haunted would be destroyed due to its ruling
Very nice, I like all the choices you've made for formatting, I think this'll shake things up very nicely. This was a particularly interesting duel, very back-and forth. I like that you've settled nicely into the Fiends vs Flip/Dragons deck identities; it's impressive how different, yet surprisingly close, your decks have become despite the lack of named archetypes.
Also, the ongoing saga of the Harpie's Brother that kept getting revived over and over, only to finally get banished, pretty funny stuff lol
awesome duel this week. I'm loving this series. To see you guys pulling new cards out of old school packs and building decks around the cards you pull. This just brings me back to the old days.
I'd also like it if you would stay with the old school packs and not go any further than before Synchros :D
absolutely love how you restructured your decks now, especially the feind type! This is definitely the best series I ever watched :) looking forward to more
Fiends are kinda underrated in my opinion. They are not Meta by any means, but they sure keep receiving support that makes them good in casual plays, in any generation/format of the game.
Loved Paul's Deck in this one especially - lots of synergy between cards I have never seen before
was on the page like 2 hours ago sayin aaah man cant wait for the next rare hunter duel. Happy Friday everyone; To my last day of landscaping ever after 15 years! lez gooo
Nice guy Paul refusing to use the time seals lol. Was expecting to see you play the extra one XD
Paul's deck is going to be nuts with all these fusions and Thousand Eyes Restrict if he gets metamorphosis next episode!!
I am super looking forward to the next 3. Things are going to get SUPER wild soon.
Adding the reprint packs is a good decision to potentially allow for previously impossible strategies. Some old cards from previous episodes could become viable
Love this series! I was looking through LOD recently and it surprised me just how much type support there was. So I was excited to see how your decks would change and it was even better than I hoped. Seeing Twin-Headed Wolf, Winged Minion, Spirit Ryu, and Dragon's Gunfire work... amazing.
I'm SO HAPPY to see a Polymerization in the game! My vote would be for giving both players a playset of them. It's so painful to see cool fusion monsters pulled knowing they'll never get used. But maybe now we'll see Fiend Skull Dragon or Dark Balter...?
Insane back and forth and wonderful new additions to the show!
Ahh, that Fiend deck is a thing of beauty. Thanks for showing off some fun tech cards, Paul!
I have been looking forward to each episode of this its a great series already cant wait for the next one.
Really hope this series goes all the way into the modern sets. Be really cool to watch how the game progressed in an organic way
no.
@@shonenhikada9254 nobody asked you
@@jackferdinger4180 When u leave a public opinion then its open for anyone to respond.
@@shonenhikada9254 once again, nobody asked
I didn't know Paul was dueling Hulk Hogan.. BROTHER!
I'm not really into Yu-Gi-Oh but you guys and the Three Idiots channels are incredibly high quality and entertaining content that I love watching. You all make Yu-Gi-Oh fun for me to watch! Keep up the good work, love the content.
I like the pack opening at the end of the duel! Gives me new cards to be excited for the next episode.
Awesome Duel! I thought the use of fiber jar was a great twist to the duel. I also agree with Alec that even though he won the Duel, the draw of cards he got was a bit unlucky.
I see a new episode of Rare Hunters? Instantly click and thumb up because this is such an awesome series!
Seriously guys, Rare Hunters is the best series. I am laughing my ass off every time something happen in the duels. Keep up the good work Team APS!
W video, as always 🔥
Great episode! Adding in Dark Beginnings 1 was a great power boost!
If I could, I would suggest not putting your rare card in the thumbnail anymore. Kinda takes the suspense out of it, we already know what's on the line when that happens.
Paul's deck is so cool. I didn't expect a Fiend deck to work without Dark Necrofear. It's nice to see viable combo's from cards I have never seen in play before.
Also nice to see some Dragon cards to work, near the end of the duel.
I can't get enough of these! I wish these were best two out of three, but now that Fiber Jar is in play, we might get longer duels!
This Channel got me into Yu-Gi-OH this series and larry in the hole are my favorites and im learning to play the game from these videos too!
My favourite YGO eries on youtube right now! It's so fun to see the duels evolving, keep up the good work!
Every time Paul goes “hmmm” I think of Yoda immediately 😂
23:53 that's an illegal move. It can only be done with premature burial but call of the haunted destroys the monster if it leaves the field in any way.
28:45 bait doll shuffles itself after resolution.
Also, paul's luck with dark beginning is hilarious
I LOVE Yu-Gi-Oh when there's back and forth. These are some of the greatest duels I've seen since I was a kid!
When i was younger, used to play with my cousin. And troop dragon+Behemot was a must in my dragon-type deck. Sweet memories indeed. Amazing series. Keep it up!
Favorite set of all time. First pack: 1st Edition Ultra Rare Tyrant Dragon. Loved that thing to death.
Love this series. I like how you keep changing it up too. Please keep this going.
I haven't played Yu-Gi-Oh since Invasion of Chaos. Watching this series reminds me of why I fell in love with the game decades ago. I almost want to pick it up again because of this alone, but I know it's a different beast now. Can't wait for the next episode!
Maybe you can play goat format at a local card shop
@Apoptosis Duellinks whats goat format? Unfortunately, my LGS is extremely anti-yugioh. Basically MTG or nothing.
I just have to say you two have such great chemistry in this series, it makes it very interesting to watch even though I have never played Yu-Gi-Oh
This is by far my favorite duel, with back and forths constantly and with such INSANE pulls. This series is amazing.
I am in love with this series you guys. Can always count on unique content from y’all. ❤
paul's luck with packs in this is astounding! The next episode is gonna be crazy
I would love to see the Win/Lose count between you two at the beginning of end of each duel, just for research~
This is honestly my favourite Yugioh series on CZcams right now. Absolutely loved Paul's fiend deck, some great tech choices. The addition of Dark Beginning seems great too, we did something similar in our internal Progression Series, it really helps out the card pool.
I absolutely love that "rude duelist!" I need to remember that one! what a catch phrase!
Absolutely we miss this series all week , and definitely it’s been so much fun , rare hunters , y’all are the best 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Man the nostalgia hit from these packs is real
Spear cretin’s effect only occurs when it’s sent to the graveyard, not when it is flipped.
God I love these. Reminds me of when I used to play with my buddy on weekends during highschool. The chaotic swings of battle are so fun to watch.
Paul got Red Eyes, 2 Summoned Skulls and a Poly... are we building up to Black Skull Dragon pull? Or will Alec pull it and Paul have to win it?
Also I love how the decks are turning out. The archetype focus is making the duels come really close!
