 In today's video we're opening up the newest Yu-Gi-Oh! set, Amazing Defenders. What's up guys we're back with another epic opening video. In this video I have two boxes of the new set Amazing Defenders. This set doesn't release until this coming Friday so it's a few days early that we're actually getting to open this up but this set isn't looking so hot. It's called Amazing Defenders but from what I've seen online so far about the set and what I've looked over it it should probably be called Atrocious Defenders. That might be a little strong but so far this set isn't looking too great. We're starting off 2023 on kind of an iffy note. The cards that I am excited for though are Card Trooper Collector Rare because this is a collector rare set. There's 15 different collector rares inside. There's three new archetypes. The archetypes don't seem to be hitting that hard but I'm excited about the card trooper. I think there's a one for one collector rare that's not a bad upgrade as well but we're really reaching this time. I guess if we're going to do a live stream we're going to go for the card trooper because that's really the only card I care about in this entire set like yeah normally we have multiple options like but this time not so good. So let's just hop into the opening. The giveaway for this video all you have to do is like the video, be subscribed, turn on notifications, leave me a comment down below and let me know what you think about this new set. You don't have to just say it's bad if you think it's good let me know because I would like to know what you like about it. Personally I'm not super excited about it and I don't think a lot of people are so we've had a lot of good sets recently so eventually you're going to have a dud right but I personally have said this many times I don't really like the collector rare makeups of these sets. I think it's not that I don't like collector wear as the rarity. I do not like how we get you know three ultras in a box and then that's basically it unless you get a collector so you basically have 21 packs where it's just a guaranteed super and it's just not that fun to open for that reason and then the value just doesn't really hold up for these boxes unless the sets are crazy because even some of the good sets don't hold up very well and they lose a lot of value as you go so I think these could use a revamp I don't know if you're watching Konami that's just kind of what I'm thinking I know I'm not the end all be all you shouldn't listen to everything I say but I think a lot of people would agree that these sets are a little bit iffy and not as fun to open not as good for your value stuff like that all right but let's not speak too soon let's actually open the packs and see what we can get if we do get that car trooper that'd be pretty awesome I'm pretty excited to potentially pull that other than that you know as I said not too much but so rescue ace is one of the new ones I actually opened early I didn't open any of this yet but I checked out some of the openings from all the sponsored Konami channels on my twitch stream so go check me out on twitch if you guys want to see that we've been doing a ton of different stuff we did in pokemon openings reviewing new yugioh sets playing pokemon stuff like that so we're doing a bunch of different stuff and I saw all these cards are a little bit of these cards beforehand and I'm honestly a big fan of the artwork of these rescue ace cards but I don't think they're supposed to be very good so maybe they'll become collectible who knows machine dupe is now in here oh there's a ruxin special right to the ultra rare so there's one of our three ultra rares in the box this is a rescue ace card it's a it's basically a fire hydrant which I think this is pretty creative I'm actually a fan of this and I guess look here's the thing here on this channel we don't have to play everything we don't really even play that much in terms of actual yugioh so I feel like we can just appreciate the artwork and that that maybe we'll bump up this set a little bit for me because I personally think this is a cool card you could say it's a little you know dorky gimmicky it's just a fire hydrant but look that's pokemon's been doing that for years and you look at them they're doing fine I actually like it I think it's pretty cool we're not gonna do a pack trick on this this is a new opening we're just gonna go through it there's a a pearly plump okay so if you don't get it in the third slot in the pack you know it's the fifth slot and that's that's gonna be a hit uh mikano and uh there's a car trooper so this car trooper is uh you know just a rare option is good if you're playing Edison but the collector rare is obviously a nice hit so make sure you know the giveaway if you guys do want to win these because you guys can win every single card I've been announcing giveaways I've been pretty caught up for the most part so go check out the community tab if you haven't seen that check if you want because a bunch of people haven't claimed their stuff you guys have been a lot better at claiming them recently but still available got a typhlosion at some point I think I'm gonna do a re giveaway of most of the stuff I have there's a pearly already another ultra rare so we've pulled two of the three ultra res for one box uh maybe we'll mix these up a little bit okay next pack amazing defenders let's see we can get preparation rights and also not a bad reprint pretty solid this card was actually like one of the value cards in dual overload when it first came out roll in that's from uh another ultra we're gonna pull all the ultras in the very beginning all right another ultra which at this point it doesn't really matter because okay so those are the pearly this is another of the new archetypes basically the eevee archetype you know of pokemon or the yugioh eevee I should say the cute cards basically so if you're a fan of those you might be a fan of uh the pearly archetype there's a mortal phoenix gear for you this isn't bad either because this was in tune chaos but it feels like they're just hitting tune chaos cards this was in dawn of majesty originally it was a bad card it wasn't even a dollar in hollow so I don't think it's gonna be that great it basically took a lot of dawn of majesty and tune chaos cards and reprinted them and those cards already are not really that crazy so rescue ace monitor I think this is a cool looking transformer card looks like a transformer I mean there's not much else to say about that but it does look cool hidden armory gives meca rochi or rochi's not bad either pretty solid reprinting rare because you guys already know this but the rares in here are essentially common because they come in at you know every slot besides the hollow so it's basically a common reprint you just have the actual you know silver letters on the top but that's the only difference between these in common rota another reprint we looked at this on twitch and that card has like 30 prints and like 10 of I think maybe about 12 of them are common so we really did not need that we didn't need that print at all I sold one of the big ones okay so we can go from a card we didn't need this is probably a decent card it already was I think it's super rare but it was still a four dollar super so that'll make it a little bit more accessible another card trooper gives meca rochi so you know do do what you will these are kind of the things we talked about on twitch I'm a little bit more prepared because normally that is going completely blind expertly happiness but we spent like an hour going through all the openings and checking out all the new cards that were revealed in the openings for the kanami channels and they also had like sent a couple of them like five or six collector rares so we actually got to see them even if people didn't pull them they probably did that because they didn't want you know the cards to be completely unknown preparation of rights roll and I don't actually know why because this set isn't great so maybe they should probably want them to be unknown so we think there's better stuff in there I don't know I don't know why they did it I'm glad they did it though so we at least have an idea of what we're buying actually probably a good thing for us that they did that we got a noir we got the double edged sword pearly delicious sprites blessing and okay sprites blessing just brings me back to uh using that with the cyber angels and the uh whatever the uh the fairy was called the dragon thing that took the place of one when cyber angel got limited I think there's a fire engine so we got a full on fire engine this is literally a transformers archetype I like them though they're cool so far we've pulled three ultras right off the bat I really don't know like what's going to be money here if you can see every pretty cool we got a roll and we'll have stuff pop it up on the screen but of course that's going to be way early prices so as I say in all of these like videos where I open it before like the Friday releases because Friday is the day when everyone on you know in the world can post on TCG player before that you got to have like a registered business and stuff like that and all this I think you have to be maybe Konami like official so no I don't remember what it is but basically it's there's a restriction to what you could post until your Friday so I can't post on there until Friday so me and you know people that actually do this for a job and then like all the normal people like you guys you open up a box you want to sell on TCG player uh you guys can't post until Friday either so as soon as Friday rolls around everybody's like bing bing bing listing all their stuff and it goes from five listings to you know 150 and so the the price goes way down usually occasionally something will be so popular or so good people think it's under value that they buy all of them and then there's none left there's an alert that's an ultra rare very nice then uh you know the price goes up but that's like one probably one card per set maximum and that's probably not even every set so it's pretty unlikely there's another assault pretty solid we want to pull as many of those as possible uh Sprites Blessing and a Makako I don't know how I just said that but Makanko is that how you say that yeah I don't think the first way I said it was right but we'll do our best rescue ace but basically um what was I going to say about that I was going to say something about what we were talking about then I got distracted by how I pronounced that card oh yes I was thinking about these collector stats and if you guys remember ancient guardians that's down at like a 30 five dollar booster rocks maybe 30 like for the whole box and people were speculating okay this seems like maybe this could be even worse than that because at least in there there was like skullmeister panker tops there's a couple of decent CRs people were looking for and this one if these archetypes don't pan out most of the collector rares are archetype you know based and if the archetypes aren't good then the collector rares aren't going to be money and that means there'll be really nothing to chase for this could go down to like a 30 dollar box potentially who knows so they are pretty expensive uh compared to what people speculate they might be but you never really know like maybe tier elements gets banned and some of these are like actually decent archetypes because it's hard to really know right now because everyone's just playing the same deck I'm not too far into the meta but I do know it is dominating the meta and it's kind of hard to play another deck like a rogue deck or something like that when it's one specific deck just dominating everything so we'll have to see what happens after that if you do want to buy some I have a link with sasayado I have amazing rucksum 5% off but as you guys have heard I don't think it's a great set there's a hollow one for one super rare this also has the collector rare as well but that's that's a good hit right there double-edged sword the conco pearlier and the extinguished so it's extinguished I guess part of the uh rescue ace I that seems like a rescue ace kind of thing because they're like fire hydrants and stuff contain yeah this has to be rescue ace yeah rescue ace fire attacker I mean look at that that's cool that's just a cool artwork it's like very uh Star Wars-y or something like that oh yes we got a collector rare and that's a pretty good one actually gizmekorochi the serpentron sky slasher at least it's like somewhat it's not really generic but you know it can be used in a couple of different decks so this is actually kind of a cool hit this is pretty solid so if you're gonna pull something you know might as well pull a cool collector rare solid pull gotta be forgot we could pull collector rare because we you know pulled all our ulcers in the beginning I was like ah it's all supers now but I had to set card well I guess we're definitely gonna do a live stream I was considering it's like do I want to do one I was like of course we're gonna do one why wouldn't we um we're probably gonna do one sir I mean we're definitely going for the card trooper I just hope it isn't turned into another scapegoat situation where I opened seven cases for a $15 card I think the card's $15 now so it's like I spent all that money you know it just hurts it just hurts when the card like at least when I couldn't pull like uh you know the stardust it was still $600 card when I did pull it it's like sure I bought 13 cases lost a ton of money but at least it was you know valuable at the end I pulled the scapegoat I'm just like oh thank goodness it's over I'm free I'm finally free of this card I didn't grade that card by the way so hopefully we'll get that back soon I'm excited about that uh stray pearly we've got the rescue fire ace overlay a region the sword reflection happiness and limiter removal this is quite the interesting sec because it's been a while since we've had a set that I wasn't that excited about I think it was probably hit in arsenal one which I was very not so excited about I was like ugh this is gross rescue ace hydrant there's an ultra rare another one of those we've got the same card all right be amazing don't be atrocious I'm sorry about that intro amazing defenders I'm sorry really I'm sorry just like pretend I didn't do it give me another collector rare I mean you already gave me one so I guess you didn't couldn't hear me sorry about that I didn't mean to say that to you guys all right we've got the canteen hooray I mean the thing is I don't really expect every set to be a banger because like sure maybe it could be it is difficult to have this many releases a year because we do have quite a few releases and them all to be like really awesome however I do kind of want them to not just be awful and this seems like it could be going that way but when you're creating new archetypes I don't know how you create a new archetype it really is kind of the mystery of TCG's how do you continue to create new cards that are better but not too much better that they don't like outweigh all the old cards but they also aren't like too good that they like just dominate the meta so and then it makes it so the next time you do it you don't have to create like way better cards and then eventually the card game just goes crazy these are the same cards we're pulling the same ultras all right so far two fire fire hydrants we've got two alerts and then two of these so we're gonna pull these again imagine if we get duplicate boxes that would be super weird but yeah as I was saying yeah it's just it's a difficult task to create trading cards um I respect the people that are grinding and trying to figure it out you know make not only collectible cards but also like playable cards and then like have the right rarities like it is a hard job I'll give them that it's not like the easiest thing ever like some people make it out to be so I get it I know sometimes there's going to be more of a dud product which I think may or may not be this one um I'm just hoping that you know if you have a dud product you bounce back the next time have a great one so we're hoping for that next time we got an impulse rescue ace what is this one he's got an axe so they're they're all firefighters basically reborn and first one I did I thought it was just like other ones but it seems like they're all firefighters like yeah so that's cool I mean everybody likes firefighters right but the stray pearly we've got the uh me kanko hidden armory and pearly happiness and a card trooper pretty sick we're down the last few packs we pulled one collector rare we pulled six ultras that means we pulled all our ultras right yeah okay so we did have a little okay reynaud's not about super rare uh card trooper and sacred scrolls so we have officially pulled all our ultras unless there's like a bonus can we get a collector rare to end this off let's see pearly happiness nice okay few left gotta believe amazing defenders we can do this immortal phoenix gear freed not bad I don't know like what those supers gonna be value that because the supers are usually not money in these sets because you get them so often but maybe if it's like the big card maybe it is there's an impulse I do really like the rescue ace like I think they look cool I just do I don't know let me know in the comments what do you think well what do you think about the archetypes not just how they play but how they look you know let me know about the rescue ace how do you feel about them think they're too cheesy you think they're you know what do you think about the artwork I don't know give me some feedback on that let's see you guys can win all this whoa the card was dinged up check that out those corners not great and then we got the uh the the mccunco I don't know much about them I think that that was the the archetype that people said at least had a chance of being decent as you guys know I don't play too much so I'm just going off what people have said on that on that regard so maybe they will be who knows you can't say it's completely bad I guess because they I mean the even these like people are going to like them because they're cute you know they got they got cute cards on them so I will say on the artwork department I think they've done pretty well on these new archetypes so we'll give them that we got a ray nod cool and our final pack let's go amazing defenders was it atrocious defenders or was it amazing defenders let me know in the comments I think atrocious is probably a strong word in my opinion I don't think they're atrocious but we had our preparation rights and really happiness but definitely not very good if you guys enjoyed this video make sure to subscribe to the channel for more epic content like
