 Today we're opening the most hyped Yu-Gi-Oh! set of 2023, Photon Hypernova. What's up guys? We're back with another new Yu-Gi-Oh! opening. Photon Hypernova is here, and this set is supposed to be crazy, especially up the ban list. It's killed a bunch of decks. There's a lot of great cards in here, so let's just go ahead and crack into this. So as we're cracking into this box, I want to remind you guys that this is a pre-order time, so we're like before Friday when everyone can sell on TCG Player. You can grab these from your local store right now on Wednesday, this is the time I'm recording this, Thursday and stuff like that, but on Friday that's when everyone can start selling this set, so a lot of the singles are going to be extremely inflated in terms of value. Keep that in mind. We're going to have the values pop up, but that's currently the pre-sale prices, so it's probably going to go down for a lot of them, but this is a pretty big set. A lot of the cash tier stuff is going to be pretty crazy. It's going to be pretty meta-defining according to what I've heard. You guys know I don't play too much, but that's what I've heard. But some of these prices are absolutely insane. I think the Starlight that we're going to be going for, there's a couple that I really like the look of, but of course the Mirror Jade is the reprint Starlight. Very nice looking card, so hopefully we can pull that one. Let's get right into it, and of course, if you guys want to win the giveaway, we're giving away every card that we pull in this video, so like the video, be subscribed, turn on notifications, let me know what you're excited about in Photon Hypernova. There's a lot of good options because, well, it depends on if you are excited about cash tier, which I don't think a lot of people actually are, but you might be playing the deck because it's going to be pretty good. I'm not doing a pack trick this whole time because we have 48 packs to open today. It's a new set. I am trying to post this video today. I'm going to have to edit it myself. We have a Triburgate Arms Bospholus, very cool. And also, if you guys are really excited for this set, we will of course be opening cases of this. I am also going to be opening a case of this tomorrow, I think, maybe Friday, something like that. Oh, there's a Super Rare, very cool. I'm going to be opening a case of this for another video, so you're going to get a case video, which doesn't happen very often. And of course, we're going to do a live stream with multiple cases on probably Saturday. That's the goal right now. I think tomorrow or Friday, we're doing the case opening that was provided by my locals. So my locals at Frontline Games actually said, hey, you guys want to open up a case? You know, you can open up a case for us. I was like, sure, that sounds awesome. I'll do that. That'll be really fun. So we're supposed to be doing that. If I can get it edited by tomorrow, if not, then it'll be Friday. All super so far. Slow start. That's okay. We're saving the heat for last. And then I'm going to do another video, I think, with Photon Hypernova. So we're going to have a lot of Photon Hypernova coming up. We also have a lot of really cool videos that I've been planning. We have one for my two-year anniversary coming up. That's a Ruckson special right there. Two-year anniversary of, can you guess what two-year anniversary of what? What is he talking about? Daily uploads. We have uploaded daily for two straight years coming up on February 25th. So we're getting very close to that a couple weeks away, maybe three weeks at this point. I don't remember what the date is, to be honest. I think we're 16 days away, something like that. So yeah, basically a couple weeks. We have yet to pull anything. It feels like a collector recipe. You guys know what I'm saying, you know? We're basically, you know, collectoring it up. We have Meteor Rush, Intimidating Ore, Chaos Beast, another Ruckson special. It's these, I'm telling you, this new card stock makes it so hard to not pull that card right before the, right before the foil along with it. So far, just supers, but that means a lot of Ultras and secrets coming up. I did mix these together. So we're going to have a little bit of a mixed opening here. We have a sneaky seed. There it is, another Ruckson special. I will not Ruckson special the next one. Just go ahead and mark that down. There's a 0% chance I'll Ruckson special. All right. Next pack. Can we get a Starlight? I haven't gotten a Starlight. So I got these two from my locals as well. I don't think I've pulled a Starlight out of the one or two boxes. I have pulled a ghost from them before. There is an Ultra Rare Gold Prize Star Leon. Okay. I think I saw this guy was actually kind of expensive, but I figure it's kind of far down the list in terms of value. I figured that some of the other cards will probably beat it out in terms of being an actual value card, but Ultra Rare, I don't think that's a great archetype from what I've heard, the gold pride. It's a new archetype in this set, but I don't think it's supposed to be that crazy compared to like all the new cashier stuff and stuff like that. First Ultra Rare, not bad. We'll take that. I don't remember what I was talking about before that, but I know I didn't Ruckson special there. So that I almost did there, but I didn't. And then a Cardon, the clear-sided, very nice cashier, a big bang. I don't know if any of the commons are great for cashier. We'll have to see. I will say the artwork on this pack and on the box is really beautiful. I'm a big fan of it. I think it looks really good. I think it is a nice looking set overall. Shell of Chaos, we got Dino Mondo, Joe the Gravity Ninja, Dogmatica Matrix, some more Dogmatica. Hey, look, you know I like Dogmatica, but we'll have to see. You guys think Invoke should all Dogmatica make it a comeback? Now that Tier Limits has gotten hit a lot. Tier Limits, that's how you say it, guys. I don't know if you guys knew that. Landflipping, we have the branded Befallen, Scareclaw cashier. I think this is actually kind of a sick card. Wait, didn't this get like a, wasn't this in the OTS-21? I can't remember. Plunder Patrol Ship, George. I could have swarmed that was an OTS-21, which would be weird, since that, you know, they kind of came out at the same time. What card am I thinking of? I'm probably thinking of a different card that looks similar. We have a Mistial Baldrake. This card looks kind of insane. Yeah, it kind of looks insane. I see the line we got Landflipping, about Numeron Creation, Gold Pride Leon. So we got the Gold Pride boxes. All right, maybe this is the one I was thinking of. I think this is the big one for the Gold Pride set. Yeah, they currently have this at $16.99, which I doubt is going to hold up, but we'll have to see. Maybe if that's like the main focus of, you know, the deck and that's like the best card that might hold up a little bit, but it's like way down the list. It's like the eighth most valuable card, which usually doesn't, you know, bode well. Shell of Chaos. Got Photon Emperor. We've got Joe the Gravity Ninja and Galactic Caribos. Super rare. I love to see those super rare Caribos. That's awesome. That's a cool looking Caribo too. I'm a fan of that. It's not as good as the, you know, Magic Caribo. That's the best Caribo ever made, but second best maybe. Hyped. New set. So many new things coming out. We had Banlist. We had OTS. We have the new, you know, this set, new core set, I guess you would call it. A lot of stuff coming out. It's been insane in terms of new content. It's been fun. You know, a lot of content for me, which is always great. XC is a line giant ballgame to go with the giant ballpark. Shell of Chaos. The Gravity Ninja. We got Arctos the 12th. All right, Arctos the 12th. He was once a ruler in the 1400s. Very cool. What else can we get? Maybe a box in something like that. Numeron creation. Evil Eyes Unleashed. Giant Ballgame. Yagumaru. Okay. That's not the foil. And then, oh, number C62. Is the cover card? Neo Galaxy Eyes Prime Photon Dragon. Yes, this is a Photon set. I know based on the name, but you don't really see a lot of Photons. Cover card pulled. Hey, pretty good opening. Not gonna lie. This is fire artwork. That is fire artwork. I don't know. Does that have a starlight? No starlight. You're telling me the cover card isn't a starlight. That's a bummer. I mean, it's probably a terrible card, but still, it looks awesome. That's all that matters, right? All right, Photon Hypernova. Can you prove to us the epicness? We have Abyss Script. Very cool. Landflipping. Photon Emperor. Gigantic Thunder Cross. Green Ninja. That's a super rare. Okay. Just the Green Ninja. Very nice, but not the starlight we are looking for. So far, what? Two Ultras? That's it. Maybe three. No, two Ultras in a secret. Castare Overflap. Abyss Actor. Super producer. He produces Chaos Mirage Dragon. I really like these Chaos cards. I think they look pretty sick. A lot. It's banished to light and a dark, you know, gauge style. Very, very cool. Still a lot of packs to go in this new Photon Hypernova opening. Hopefully you guys are enjoying it and hopefully you guys are excited because, look, we opened Amazing Defenders last time. Not quite as exciting. I'm definitely more excited about this Gold Pride Nitro Blaster. We are pulling a lot of Gold Pride stuff today. Yeah, we are definitely more excited about this set than the Amazing Defenders, which did age a little bit better than expected with the Eevee stuff, you know, whatever they're called. Pearly, Corp of Chaos, and Ultimate Great Insect. Let's go. My insect queen has become an Ultimate Great Insect. There you go. I'm sure you guys really wanted to hear that. You're welcome. I'm glad I could bless your ears with that. I probably jumped scared a bunch of people who were like just listening to the video. They weren't actually watching it. They're like, oh my gosh. What was that? Dynamondo. We've got, oh, Castare Rise Heart. That was a ruxant special right to the Castare Rise Heart. Hey, it had been a while since the ruxant special. I'm not going to lie. That's, I think, a very good card. They've got that one in almost $25. So that's going to be a solid card. It probably won't hold up at $25, but hey, the cash to your core is probably going to be pretty expensive. So it might hold up pretty well. Bistio Baldroc. We've got the Abyss Dragon Sword Soul. Whoa. And a sword soul in the name. Cool. So that means a sword soul card. Yeah, that's obvious. But of course, that's a, you know, sword soul is pretty strong. It's mostly a, you know, master gold deck at this point, I think, but it is still pretty strong or pretty decent in the TCG. A lot of the branded, I do have a full, a full deck myself, Gishki, Grimness, and an Ulcerer, Orph, Orphable, the Harmonious Bullfighter Bard. I remember this guy from the leaks. This guy has amazing artwork. He's dope. I think he's banished two lights, two darks. Yeah. It's insane. His cost is nuts. It's from your hand or graveyard though. So a couple more options in there. Can you imagine banishing four cards for one? It's kind of insane, but hey, he is pretty strong when he gets out there. We've got Photon Emperor, Gigantic Thunder Cross, Core of Chaos, Shell of Chaos, card on the clear sighted. He has sight. That is clear. Very nice. Still a lot of packs left. This is actually a, I keep thinking we're like getting close, but really not. Meteor Rush. Apparently this card, people are like, thinking it might be kind of lit. Just as a common. Core of Chaos, Plunder Patrol Ship, Shored. Plunder Patrol is always trying to have more support that'll do something. And I don't think they ever do. They are not usually very good. Shell of Chaos, very cool. Grisky Grimness, Galaxy Hundred, Branded Befallen, Gold Pride, Nitrohead, Manticore of Smashing, Infinite Antelion. We got Sour Scheduling and Castira Bag Bang. Photon Hypernova. Here we go. You gotta believe Dino Mondo, Joe the Gravity Ninja. Whoa, that was a Ryze Art. I ruined it. No, the Ruxen Special. That was a Super Ruxen Special. I think that's what we should do. When I do more of the one card, that's a Super Ruxen Special. I think we gotta add that. Castira, a Ryze Art, Secret Rare. This is a Starlight. I mean, this can be a Starlight. A little bit different. This is like 37, 38 right now. So that's one of the big hits. So that's a great hit. By the way, you guys can win all these cards. Don't forget, this is a giveaway. Every single card we pull. So no matter the value or whatever, you guys get to keep, or at least one of you guys get to keep these. I am a little behind in my giveaway announcements, which by the way are another Secret Rare, another Ruxen Special. That was another Super Ruxen Special, by the way. That was two cards. And it's another Castira card. So that's good. Oh, and this one is 100 bucks. Okay. Yeah, it's good. Yeah. That's a card right there, guys. Okay. Yeah. We have ourselves a Castira, $98 Secret Rare. No big deal. Nothing to worry about. All right. Cool card, guys. All right. Wow. Okay. So a Super Ruxen Special into a $100 card. The best Secret Rare in the set. Yeah. That is pretty strong. I don't remember what I was talking about before that, because that was a hit, man. Yagamoro. Okay. Oh, why did I think that was the foil? Tier Elements, Castira. Another Castira card. Hey, look. Tier Elements. Not Tier Elements. Tier Elements. I got it. I got it, Farfah. Okay. Another $21 card according to pre-order prices. So I'm, you know, I'm sure those will go down, but I know people were pre-selling like the cores at like 700 bucks for like a Castira core. I mean, that's absurd. It's three of each of, you know, all the stuff usually, but that is still crazy. I mean, these cards are super hyped. Wow. There's still a lot of packs left. Wow. Okay. If we get a Starlight here, that's going to be big. Photon Emperor. Okay. That is since whatever it's called. No, it's going to be a crazy giveaway. How many secrets is that? Wait, both boxes had one. That's one kind of a dud. Then two of these, the best. Hey, dude, that is absurd. Wow. Wow. I should have, should have kept these boxes. You know what I'm saying? That is nuts, dude. Talk about a giveaway. Wow. Photon Hypernova. We've already pulled four secretaries, so I think we're out of secrets, but we'll have to see a Starlight to anybody, you know, land flipping, green ninja. Okay. Oh my gosh. That was absurd. I was like, I think, I thought we had already pulled all our secrets before that one. And then apparently not. I was wrong. Intimidating or that was crazy. Thunder cross. I have super ruxen specialed or actually, I guess regular ruxen special when it's only one pass. Yeah. That was just a regular ruxen special, but I've super ruxen specialed a couple times too, but it is so hard on these new cards. Like this new card stock has no friction branded before. The only one that does is the foil. Big welcome, Labyrinth. I think this one's good too. People really like the Labyrinth archetype, but it's, I think it's kind of like mid. It's like, okay. It's not like really bad or anything, but it's not great. Yeah. That's like, I'm supposedly 20 right now. So, you know, I'm sure a $20 card would probably be more like a $5 card. Like once we get to like the real prices, but still a $5 card is not bad for an ultra rare giant ball game. We've got another ruxen special. The Lavy TN generator boss of shadows. That's an ultra rare. That's pretty nice. I don't, I haven't seen that one before. So I don't think it's too valuable, but generators, I guess, you know, not that crazy. All right. A few more packs. A lot of the branded, I feel like we definitely have some ultras left. We have gold pride. Start your engines. Today we have a race between a photon hypernova and ruxen 34. All right. Gigantic Thunder Cross. Yagamoru. Photon Emperor. Intimidating ore. Queen Butterfly. Deneis. They look more insects for evil underworld. All right. We're down to the last, less than 10 maybe. No, baby. Maybe it is 10 exactly. I don't know. Something like that. Now have I been opening slow? I'm not sure. Brandon befallen gold pride and nitro blaster. Will we get something else epic like a star? If we get a star like these are been like the ultimate boxes. Apophis, the swamp deity probably not going to happen because this is a core set. We're going back to the regular star that rates of one in two cases versus battles, legend crystal revenge, which had the one in one case, which was a lot better for us in terms of like pulling one. We got the gold pride and nitro head. I don't think that's going to happen this time, but I would love to be surprised. Like I'd be okay with being shocked. You know, I'm okay with that. I love surprises. Light of the branded cash tier at Yagamoru. Choju. Choju and wait. Oh, that was the super choju. Okay. Six packs left. What will it be? We will have to see. We have Yagamoru. We have chaos bees. Light of the branded cash tier scare claw. That's backwards. We got a couple of aces. Okay. That was our super rare. It's really hard to see these like they look like not supers until I, you know, pick them up and I'm like, Oh, there we go. There's a little flash as it went by. Let's pull a starlight to end this off. I'm totally down. I've never actually done that. Okay. Rin Brom, the striking dragon. Not going to lie. This looks really cool. I like the look of that. That's a very cool card. I think, okay, we have pulled, the only time I pulled a random starlight was with CMO, but that was also from a case, but it was like a case that I had like kind of pieced out box by box. And that's still not guaranteed ultimate great insect, but I've never actually bought like a couple boxes and gotten a starlight. That's never happened for me or blisters or anything. I know a lot of you guys have done that before. So tell yourself lucky because like I pull a lot of starlights, but it's mostly because I open a lot of cases, you know, so it's like eventually going to happen. But opening just a random one is pretty lucky. Like that is, that takes some luck. We got a fairy ant, the circular sorcerer. Cool. Yeah. The most random one I opened was with CMO. And that's because it was a, it was a case that I had already opened a lot of. And I was like, Oh, there's probably not one in here. Chaos bees. We got dynamondo, bestial ball, drake, homo, homongous. The homonculus. No, I'm just kidding. Okay. One pack left. Photon hypernova. It's been a crazy opening so far. Two of the $98. That is insane. That is the best card in the set. Two of the best card. Liar, Brandon. Let's see if we can just pull a starlight to end this off. I'm down. Okay. No rucks. It's special. Come on. We can do this. Gischee grimness and a dogmatica. Alba, Zoa. Are people playing the ritual dogmaticas? I always ask that. I don't really know. I feel like they're not, but maybe they are. Who knows? But wow, what an epic opening. Make sure you guys enter the giveaway if you guys want to win those cards.
