The Slifer Slackers are finally BACK! We're drafting open packs of Shadow of Infinity to see what rare pulls we get and then dueling to pick up one of the loser's cards! Since we didn't have the money to afford real packs, we're using ygoprog.com and Master Duel to simulate the experience instead!

#YuGiOh #MasterDuel #ProgressionSeries - Hry
*Slifer Slackers is back! Sorry for the long delay, everyone. We ended up having to transition to a digital series since classic Yu-Gi-Oh packs were just WAY too expensive!* 😔
Also, PLEASE download Honkai: Star Rail to help us out! Each install helps! 📲 hoyo.link/5BzeF6BL
Don't about not getting the packs, @TeamAPS 👌🏻 A digital duel is a good plan B.
smart move to use YGO Prog, though me and my friend are doing Ygo-Pro's pack simulator as they can let us store them in our own collection and they also have packs like the tournament one for fun. Still smart way to save on money ,despite the coolness of opening up these proper retros
edit: woah good site for this...hmm might have to move
Actually, you guys could try something about not drawing first: Have the player who goes first end their turn and then the player who goes second that draws is the "First Turn" and play normally but without entering the Battle Phase. Then Turn 3 would be considered Turn 2 and play the game normally. You guys should try that! That's what Rhymestyle and Dotodoya did in their Shadowlocke duels.
Interesting idea... @@dragonknight1560
@@TeamAPS me and my friend are doing a similar challenge but we use YGO Omega for our dueling, and it can mess with the rules, not to mention not have to worry about limits and banned cards. Even for some Errataed cards has two different cards the regular and the errataed
food for thought
I'm glad y'all are back. While I will miss the physical openings of real classic yugioh product...wallet wise this makes way more sense.
Totally agree! I wonder/hope it'd be possible to do the digital pack openings but duel with physical cards? I kinda like the physical card duels :P
They're just so expensive... 😭
It also helps with there COUNTLESS misplays lol or using card effects wrong
@@WiccanNathair haha I forget that that happens sometimes :P
There could be a good compromise here. Use these digital openings, purchase the desired cards as singles (from any printing or edition), play in person. The packs are WAY more expensive than the cards and unopened boxes are WAY more expensive than the individual packs. Pretty sure the decks you both went with would be less than $10 buying the singles including shipping. We all love physical pack openings, but the performance you both put on for the duel itself is the real draw.
Edit: oh you already addressed that further down in comments. whoops!
Paul not summoning Drillroid for so long almost gave me an aneurysm. Glad the series is back though!
Paul was 1000% playing for the video and not playing to win.
Thank you @@DekuLord
It's more fun that way, at least for me.
That, and thr amount of times he could of used his Fissure to clear and get in more damage
Paul almost throwing the match twice shows, why he's in Slifer
Edit: I think 48 packs is too much. The charm of the progression series is playing with a small cardpool and coming up with interesting strategies. If you're pulling so much per Boosterseries, you might as well almost play constructed. 24 should be fine
I honestly wish the openings are virtual and the duels themselves are physical. Most of the YGO singles are not all that expensive and they get reprinted so it wouldn't be all that expensive
We can do that if people want! Gonna ask on a community tab thing tomorrow so please sound off there!
@@TeamAPS that would be great, thank you
this sounds like a great idea
Seems like a great middle ground
I like the idea of them playing online more helps with all the Misplays and using effects wrong that they tend to do IRL
Totally understandable, i saw the prices for these sets and i nearly had a stroke and this makes so much more sense even if i will miss the openings,its mainly all about the spirit of it all
I can't help but notice Paul gets more competitive and talks more smack when playing on MD 🤣
Glad to see this series continue! The change to ygo prog is a good decision imo, 48 packs might be a bit too much though - 24 seems like the sweet spot to me, cause you're not guaranteed to open all rares/supers/3x of commons.
I hear you! I think 48 was excessive. Gonna make a community tab post about this tomorrow to gather people's thoughts in one place, so please bring this feedback there as well.
Glad to see I’m not the only one. I think 24 is a good middle ground. The fun part of lower number of packs is seeing what you can scrape together and it can make for a unique strategy
The biggest tragedy of them now playing in Master Duel is that we won't get any fun mistakes with the rules anymore.
LMAO
Paul's gameplay this game made no sense. Was it just for content so the games wouldnt be so short?
He made me so mad 😂
I do not blame you at all for swapping to digital for this show. I always looked up the product you were opening and you lads were paying some INSANE prices for content.
Just glad to have more time with the boys.
I’d love to get some insight on some of the plays! There were multiple occasions when Paul could summon a monster and chose not to. I’m sure there were reasons and justifications I just can’t see em
I agree
Awesome to see the series back! Sucks that the physical packs are gone but considering how expensive they get I’m super supportive of the new format!
Maybe we switch to just buying the singles of the cards we use?
Consider putting it to a poll. While, I personally think the game is more exciting to watch not knowing what cards the players have at a given moment, I also wouldn't be surprised if people preferred Master Duel to prevent ruling issues.
@@TeamAPS that could definitely work, like opening the packs on the website and ordering the singles you pulled?
@@TeamAPSif that is not too expensive, i think it will bring back the magic.
@@TeamAPS that does sound cool, but wouldnt it take super long to aqcuire them all?
Wallet wise this makes more sense, and yeah I’m gonna miss the physical openings but like it’s a LOT more cheaper
Glad to be back doing Slifer Slackers! Let us know your thoughts about this new format and any changes we should consider!!!
The format was okay. I could mention not put many copies so each player gets a better chance to draw their monster cards through the digital game.
If you want to draw for your first turn you could have whoever wants to go first click go second. Turn 1 player would just end his turn not setting anything, and turn 2 player would be able to draw for turn and would just not enter battle phase like a first turn player. That way you can use the old draw first rules.
Can you go back to 1 box instead of 2 for the opening? Really raises the stakes and puts imagination to the test when theory crafting. Might also create more deck diversity?
You guys can use dueling nexus instead of master duel if you don't have enough Stones to craft the cards and also use any master rule you want
@@japan100100so less options creates more diversity? Yeah I'm sure that math checks out.
Alec building a deck and immediately jettisoning it for his heroes was pretty funny, lmao
I want to make a suggestion, not sure if people agree. Open packs online but use physical copies to do the duel, if you don’t have the physical copy of a card, just print out a proxy if it isn’t too much of a hassle. The charm is seeing the physical card duel not even so much the card opening just in itself. If you agree please like so they see it.
Love this series and the misplays really do make it feel like they are Slifer Slackers
I totally get why it happened and it doesn’t ruin anything but it IS a bummer the physical openings are over. That was a big part of my love of this and Rare Hunters 😅
Wait a minute , Paul could’ve used fissure on thunder giant to be fair , because it has the lowest attack points
He could have also won the second duel earlier by summoning Chiron alongside Doom Dozer, discard a magic card to destroy the face down card, and attack with Chiron for game.
I guess they both didn't want to overextend because Karma Cut was an easy card to get from this pack.
Duels are more fun when you take it slow.
While it doesn't ruin the series, not opening the physical cards by nature takes a lot of the charm from the whole thing. Understandable decision, but unfortunately inherently disappointing.
it is but the cost of the box is just a tad crazy for 1 video. 1500 usd just for a single booster box.
yeah, my first thought was "I hate it" lol. I liked the physical cards cause it seemed like rares and stuff were actually rare and I really liked how it set it apart from every other progression series.
Hey, we can always go back to physical packs if you wanna buy them for us! 😬
Dude, be reasonable. It was gonna get worst. As they were gonna cross the 2k usd territory. This was th only logical way to do it. Every yugituber takes this route eventually.
I think it's better to use simulators for this. Unless Team APS wants to collect the physical cards (and they can if they desire) this saves money and even gives great ideas to others about how easy it can be to do the same. I love Team APS content and will always check their channel for their newest stuff.
I understand the reason to make this change but it’s not for me at this point. Love seeing the enthusiasm you guys had opening the packs one by one. Will continue to watch your other content. 😊
I like being able to see their hands, but it's frustrating when there are some obvious plays that they don't do, that just ends up with them prolonging things.
Opening more packs per set is a lot of fun, getting to see a broader amount of cards and more strategic decks is cool
Nice to see the series back, hopefully with virtue cards yall can make a video and not go broke every time
Thanks for introducing me to that Ygo prog, it's pretty cool. Might do this kinda series with a buddy of mine now.
I love you two personalities. It is always fun to watch how you guys play and interact
Nice duel, guys!!
It's cool to see the series returning. Hope you guys are having fun with the digital format too. ✌
I was always suprised you did this with real packs, and totally get the descion to switch over to a digital format, its a fun series and dont think the switch will change anything for us viewing it
Super happy this is back! Cant wait for future duels in the GX era and beyond!
The thing I do like about this Is seeing both hands and knowing what each player has and is drawing
I totally understand why you went to digital packs. But there are some things that I personally think could help keep the magic of physical packs. For me, opening the packs one at a time and providing a bit of commentary on your pulls is one of my favorite parts of these videos, it helps us think along with you guys when you are working on your deck. It also would help keep up the suspense for rare pulls.
I always root for Paul but the misplays here had me questioning my Yugioh knowledge. Why not Fissure immediately on Thunder Giant? Why not use Cyber Dragon immediately? Why not summon Chiron? I felt Paul knew he had the advantage and was trying to stall for a longer duel and I get it for content but it was itrritating to see clear plays not being used
I like this change, I love seeing master duel with older decks. The game has great presentation and its fun to watch when one turn doesnt take 5 minutes
Probably for the best as these box set are stupidly expensive for what you actually get in terms of re-prints and now buying singles.
Part of me liked seeing the real box openings though..
Keep the series going fellas :D
Personally, I don’t mind you opening packs online as you said they’re so expensive. Game play I like the face to face duelling as it comes with human error and it’s just generally more fun. If you do happen to have cards to hand that you would pull out of the packs it’s best of both. Loving the series guys, keep it up 😁
Lets go!! I'm actually liking the new setup. I know how expensive these cards can get so hopefully we can get more duels this way
Alec: I play skyscraper!
Paul: bold of you to assume I have a monster over 1000 power.
I definitely understand the affordability of doing it virtual, but it does take some of the joy out of the series.
When the world needed the most, the boys came back !!!
YES , the return of SLIFER SLACKERS 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Yes a better option than buying the boxes for thousands of wonga . Hopefully we get to see the videos more sooner than before
love the touch of wearing GX outfits
Was... Was the intro a Yu-Gi-Oh! GX analog horror? That was dope
Since the point is the games and not the openings, then I like this. It also seems like something I could do with some friends, which should be fun.
Slifer Slackers are back and I'm pretty happy! Sorry it's been costing you guys so much to get them old packs to do this but did you see on Facebook where I mentioned you guys in a six-plus box sale for 107$? Either way I think it goes without saying Paul made Weevil smile and laugh a little more shrilly when he did that move to recycle Doomdozer and resummon it despite not having the material he needed! Looking forward to more of these.
I'll miss the physical pack openings but it only makes sense if the series is to continue. The boxes would only get more expensive with each episode. So far so good though!
I’ve been watching Rhyme and Seereax do this type of old school draft mode so I don’t mind the transition. While not having the physical openings and face to face duels is a bummer, this is still the best option for continuing the series. It’s more financially reasonable and let’s the series progress faster
Chillin out with your friends in the back rooms 🫨💀😬
While i like it whether you open real packs or digital...kind of wish you would open each individual pack. Kind of makes more exciting that way. But glad yall back at this
I absolutely love watching these I don’t care how you open them. The fun is in your building skills and really saving your wallet is clutch. I’m stealing this idea for game night 😅 it’s to good
I still enjoyed this very much! Im warching for you guys, not the packs being opened. It's a great cherry on top but the competition is still great. As long as you guys get to keep the 'rarest' card, im good.
When the world needed them most, the boys came back to town 🔥🔥🔥
Guys, you have knocked it out the park this time! I can't even comprehend how much work you had to go through to transition the series from physical to digital and by the way, I enjoyed the new Slifers Slakers a lot! Even if I prefer seeing the the physical play and the physical opening of packs I like how master duel gave a better gameplay experience for me because i was able to see every card in your hand and set on the field. I didn't know why Paul had a very low win rate in the history of this channel but after this duel I know how he plays and why he make certain decisions and I'm really glad we had the chance to see it!
Ok, so this is now the Progression series. Not complaining tbh :D Feels more action packed than watching Cimo stomp Nyhmnim every week. Those legacy pack boxes do indeed have intense costs and Master Duel is fun to watch + no misunderstanding of how cards work in particular situations
would you consider a hybrid approach where you bust the packs online and then buy the physical cards that you'll be adding to the deck so you can still get that irl yugioh feel along with the physical sense of still giving away your best card?
I think you guys made a smart choice moving to digital packs with how crazy old school sets cost but the thing i disagree with is opening 2 boxes i just felt that was a bit over the top either way i am excited you guys brought this back
BASED it's happening!
Maybe do virtual openings, and then source the cards physically and do a physical duel? Doing it all online loses a bit of the magic imho. Hell even proxies would be good here
I'm liking the Insect Strategy! I hope you stick with that theme and your able to get more insect cards later on.
this is probably way more affordable than buy old booster boxes
Missed this awesome format!
I understand why you changed things, it's rough buying old physical packs. I guess we could see this as a generational upgrade.
Old school: Rare Hunter series with physical cards.
New school: Slifer Slackers with digital cards.
Doesn't have the same charm, but hey, we work with what we can, and make the most of it
The amount of times Paul had lethal game 1 and 2 just wanted to play the game is ridiculous....
In the second episode, why wasn't Paul playing Chiron the Mage to just end the duel? He could've killed Alec two turns in a row.
I love the idea of using an online simulator for opening packs. Great!
While sad to lose the physical aspect of opening packs, MD lets continue the series. Plus helps with ruling issues
paul out here playing hte worst demise OTK build of all time and i love it
In order to retrieve the old drawing first rule, whoever you want to go first, have the other player pass their turn and then let the “going first” player draw for turn
You should do what Rhymestyle is doing in his GOAT duels where whoever goes first passes over and the player going second technically goes “first” to simulate the T1 draw you just skip the battle phase
Not going to lie the play you took with monster reincarnation over just using fissure was a nice way of trying to gain card advantage or benefit more from a cost and I actually think that play was way more exciting
I missed the show, great to have it back. ^^
I love seeing master duel with old decks! Sucks that you can't enable turn 1 draw though.
While actual pack opening was fun, considering it was costing thousands of dollars, I'm glad you guys found an alternative.
Also, now that we're not in DM anymore, actually going to the effort of tracking down the packs doesn't feel as important to me anymore.
This format works fine for me. I agree with another comment I saw that the number of packs opened should probably be halved. But other than that, definitely better than no content because of the cost of product. Hoping this means we'll get these episodes a lot more often too
im shocked yall didnt go digital from the jump
I understand not opening up the physical packs I have to say I think doing it on Master Duel is a lot more financially responsible but I still like seeing the themed duels for the series keep up the good work
I actually LOVED this way more than I think I would. I still miss the physical cards though, but I think you can fix a price roof and if the physical set exceeds that, you can go digital, and, when the set is not as expensive, you can do it physically and get the single cards you have pulled digitally (the ones you actually use). Good games! ❤
I think it’s a great idea it’s very understandable in what situation y’all are in. Also suggest in the series to allow y’all to each play one pot of greed?
I love this series so much
Idk i think maybe going 1 box each is better for having the weird ratios like the of series which is still double what you used to have with half a box each before.
One thing you could do to fix the going first issue on Master Duel is have the person who is actually going first choose to go second.
So for example, if Alec is going first, he chooses second. Now on Paul's turn, immediately pass turn. Alec now draws for his first turn. From here Alec needs to NOT attack because you treat this as the first turn of the duel. From here, play as normal.
24:24 BOING 😂
The Return of the Kings (of games)
What you could do to get around masterduel rules to play old school is person who goes first skips rhe turn and person going second skips the battle phase then play normal going forward
Paul's play style irks me to no ends, I don't know if he was just being safe or if he just didn't realize he had game, but great duels overall. I'm all for the switch to master duel.
Will miss the pack openings but honestly I can understand why you moved to master duel just happy I can see you both duel again :)
saw this posted 8 seconds ago XD I love you guys!
I like the idea of letting you have multiple fusion monsters even if you didn't pull more but to make it abit more fair I'd say you can only have 1 copy per the amount you can make an example being say you you have 2 dogmas and 2 plasmas you can have 2 copies of destiny end dragoons as an example
Feels like a bit of a akwars transtion to the digital format but im really excited to see more going forward. It makes total sense why you switched . For the sake of your wallets this was the best choice and still feels very unique compared to other progression series
at long last episode 4 is finally here!
I was so confused when Paul didn't use Fissure at all in duel 1
Great set and lots of fun tech cards
Lets go
I really love this Series I don't mind Buying Virtual Game pack but taking out the psychically Dueling for Dueling on Master Duel lessons my liking and also as well enjoyment for Watching Slifer Slackers Yugioh GX Series! Mainly because the Misplays and fun uniqueness of having a Fun Yugioh GX Dueling experiences isn't here anymore at all either!
im in full support of using online packs but damn is it satisfying to watch old packs be opened
i totally understand why yall chose to go this route but it really does make me bummed out! the old school pack openings were my favorite part of the video ngl
Would love to see a series where they redo duels from the OG series on Duelist Kingdom with remakes of the decks to see who would win the real duels. I don't know much about modern Yu-Gi-Oh! to know what is happening in this series, but I like it
if you want to simulate the old format where first turn draws a card, just have the player who goes first in Master Duel skip their turn and the other draws as the true first turn, they just cannot attack.
Losing my mind watching Paul hold fissure all game 1 but I love the series lol
I miss actual physical Duels in Team APS Silfer Slackers Episode's from Team APS's videos!!
Finally, you’re back with this series
I think this is great!! :3 A good way to continue moving forward with this!!
