 What's up guys we're back with another epic video today I'm gonna be talking about how I got back into yugioh about three or four years ago as well as I'm gonna be talking about the New master duel coming out the reason I'm talking about this new master duel it has to do with how I got back into yugioh So you're like on that just came out. It's kind of weird. Let's get into it So if we're gonna talk about how I got back into yugioh, we have to go back to the time of late 2017 I was in my master's program in college and I didn't have a lot going on at that particular night So I was kind of bored. I was sitting in my room, and I decided I'm gonna check the app store and see if there's any Cool games I can play I never do that like ever I never do that. So I get on there and I start scrolling What do I see yugioh dual links guys? I had not thought about yugioh in over 10 years at that point I was like What is this a yugioh game back in like early 2000s? I was a huge yugioh fan I'm gonna get this. I'm gonna see what it's about. So I downloaded the game and I was obsessed I played that game non-stop. I actually started a YouTube channel this YouTube channel doing videos about yugioh dual links And it was complete garbage. It was awful. You guys know how it is if you started YouTube channel usually sucks at the beginning So that's how it was. It was terrible. I posted like a hundred yugioh dual links videos It weren't great, which I did those in my car, which is hilarious I love the game and this all happened just because I happened to look at the app store Which is a thing that I do not do regularly. I was spending money on the game It made me think why don't I just actually buy real live like Physical yugioh cards that way when I spend my money. I actually can like sell them for somewhat You know to get some money back. I didn't realize this until I bought the Kaiba box Which you guys if you guys remember the video title, this is why I make yugioh videos or something like that I opened one of those kaiba boxes. It was like a month ago and that was the product I opened that up. I pulled chaos and bird dragon ultimate rare when I looked it up and saw it was $30 I realized wait people still actually buy these for like a decent amount of money Why don't I just buy more yugioh cards and that way if I do want to sell them I can get some of my money back because with dual links you can't get into your money back It's a deep dark hole. You spend your money You get cards virtual cards and then that's it that there is your money I think I spent like $300 on one day on dual links. Yeah, I've done that a few times like on live streams, too But that was you know now we actually have a reason to go back then I was like dude You got to chill out $300 on a video game. So that's why I started buying regular cards But when I got back into the regular cards, I just wanted the old-school cards a lot of you guys If you have been following me for a long time, you guys are old-school collectors You realize the same thing I did you like I don't want these new cards link cards exceeds cards Why aren't they like the old school? We want fusions. We want Vanillas we want all that stuff. That's what I wanted when I first got big into it and The new stuff was not appealing to me. I didn't care about late monsters. I didn't care about exceeds monster They can pendulum monsters. I didn't want any of that stuff. I didn't want any of the new sets There's a couple reasons the sets at the time of 2017 didn't have any chase cards like they do now They had secret rares and they had ultra rares. That's it So you open a booster box you either get a secret rare or you get an ultra rare or a super rare It was like boring. Buh no chase It was great if you're playing the game because you know there's not some crazy rarity you're trying to chase but You couldn't you couldn't pull anything like super cool like a ghost rare a starlight You know stuff like that which they started in 2019 Which I'll get to later and also playing the actual game was super intimidating for me There were all these new mechanics all these crazy summoning rules all this stuff that you do You just have no idea like if you've been out for 10 years like a ton of people have like and like I have back in The day I was I was good at dueling. You know, I was good. I'd go to school I'd win a lot, you know, I went most of the time at school at church wherever I was I would win like all the time but now 10 years later, you know, it's not my school friends or a church friends And it's all these new stuff. So it's like, okay I don't know if I can figure this out and there's really no way to figure that out because duel links is not like the regular game It's completely different and that's why it's gotten so much fly people that play like the regular game the regular meta with like five Slots and the you know thing the link monsters all that stuff duel links when I started It had no synchros. It had no XC's and it had no Pendulum it had no link and had none of that. So it was like old school. So that's why kind of I got back into it Plus it didn't have all the spots. So it's completely different getting back into dual links helped me get back into Yu-Gi-Oh But it didn't help me get back into the meta. That's where this master duel thing comes in This announcement the other day about master duel on a couple days behind But it was super exciting for me because this means there is now a gateway So I was watching House of Champs video the other day and as I'm listening to him I'm thinking I mean I've been thinking I'm gonna make a video about this I'm gonna talk about why I think it's a good thing. He starts talking about me. He starts talking about me And he's like you see ruckson 34. He got into this because of dual links. This is a new gateway This is exactly what I was gonna talk about. He kind of stole my thunder. So John Yeah, pretty disappointing. You know, I'm just kidding. I had told him that when I was over there visiting him But it's super exciting because now new players like me if they get back into the card game You know, they're playing even if they play dual links or whatever or if they want to get back into Yu-Gi-Oh They can play this master duel thing that's just gotten announced if it is what we think it is where it's gonna be like a regular simulator It's similar to dual links except for the fact that you could play like the real game Hopefully the monetization we haven't heard about that yet. So there's gonna be a lot of arguing about that Theorizing about that. We don't know what's gonna come of it yet But if it does turn out where you can easily access a lot of the cards for like a small cost It's gonna be huge for the game because all the new people joining Including me. I'm not new, but I don't know how I still barely know how to link summon We'll learn all these new summoning mechanics all these new chain things You gotta learn like if you don't know about chains and all this stuff It will automatically do that for you in the simulator, which is gonna be super cool So you put you're like, you know what I want to learn how to play this dry tron deck I don't even know what dry trons are, but I know that they're a card. I pull it out I start playing the game tells me my options I have when I play you can learn that so much faster now that there's a simulator before there was nothing Learning to play Yu-Gi-Oh before was like learning how to play the piano by yourself It's very difficult like it's possible to do but you have to do a ton of research You have to do a ton of practice like it's not easy. There's nobody holding your hand the whole way This new simulator will literally hold your hand. It'll show it'll probably I don't know this for sure But it's probably gonna show you like okay, you can play this card. It's gonna light up You know click on it. Okay, you could summon it. You can link summon it activate its effect Yada yada yada and then maybe you'll activate its effect incorrectly and it's gonna you know something bad's gonna happen You're gonna realize oh, I shouldn't have activated my effect right there But if you're playing by yourself, you just play with real cards You don't even know you're gonna activate that effect. You don't even realize it So this simulator is huge. It's gonna teach people how to play the real game. And what does that mean for Yu-Gi-Oh? You play the real game more people get into the real game More people get into Yu-Gi-Oh more people are buying products more people are getting into old school More people are watching it on YouTube all that great stuff It just becomes a more popular thing in general tons of people came back into collecting Yu-Gi-Oh in like the last year or so But they probably don't know how to play the game So this will provide all those people who just got back into Yu-Gi-Oh collecting a chance to learn how to play the game again And that means there'll be more people competing and all that great stuff So this is gonna be a huge gateway for all those people that just got back into collecting Yu-Gi-Oh and new people Who haven't gotten back into it yet? I'm super excited about this No matter what even if it turns out to be like you got to buy a ton of stuff I still think it's good for the game. However, I really do hope I saw several different theories I'd hope that there's some sort of like monthly payment like maybe like 10 15 bucks You get every single card all the new releases. Maybe they'll do code cards. That would be cool as well You buy a pack you get even more value for your pack because you can go use it online all that stuff I think that'd be really cool I do think that they're gonna have to include all the cards up to the point of release though because it will Just be ridiculous if you have to go back and buy old sets like it would just nobody would do it Like it would not be worth it I think that they're gonna include all that stuff in some sort of like I've heard it called a battle pass I think I think that's a good chance that it happens for the old cards Maybe with the new ones they have you actually open them with like code cards or something We don't know yet So we're gonna be keeping an eye out for that but either way this new dual master thing is gonna be really really cool I can't wait to actually learn how to play the meta I actually was considering getting back into it and with this I'm definitely gonna do it But there are gonna be streams. We're gonna stream. We're gonna figure out how to do it Maybe I'll do it not even streaming. I just want to fake because you can get it on your phone It's just like dual links except for it's the real game. You can play it on your phone You can play Yu-Gi-Oh for real on your phone. It's gonna be so exciting playing on your PlayStation Xbox all that stuff. The only thing we're hoping is it's not another legacy of the duelist thing where they didn't update it at all Heard horror stories about that. But yeah, so this was a little mix as a master duel It was a how did I get back into Yu-Gi-Oh mixed a video? Hope you guys enjoyed it I think I've rambled long enough about how great this is for the game. I really think it's mostly a good thing I think most people are excited about it. Some people are a little skeptical. They think, you know, man We're gonna have to pay a lot of money. I'm gonna use dueling book anyway, but I think overall it's gonna be great It's gonna be great for new players. It's getting great for streamers great for people watching streams all that stuff videos It's gonna be awesome. I'm super excited about it. If you made it into this video I've got a few announcements and a giveaway You get these three cards all you got to do like the video be subscribed Let me know your thoughts on the duel master.
