Trell and Paul rip open 3 copies each of the second two Yu-Gi-Oh Starter Decks of the 5D’s Synchro era (Duelist Toolbox) and the ZEXAL Xyz era (Xyz Symphony). What kind of decks and strategies can they put together and which deck will come out on top in this slug fest of a duel?

I started playing (somewhat) competitively around the time that XYZ started deck came out. That being said, my cousin played Synchros with Junk destroyer, Nitro Warrior, Stardust dragon, etc. and I still have fun memories playing against it
I don't know if you guys have it but I remember having it but could you use the card green kappa…..not a good card but I always liked it
Some of the best players on the internet playing starter decks. Felt like high school.
i prefer xyz summoning, but synchros are just so much better most of the time
Its cool to see Trell again. I like him he's funny.
20:54, the back and forth was funny.
30:07, "you asshole", haha.
Entertaining duels.
20:20 QUILLBOLT HEDGEHOG SO HE POP 2! NOOOOOO
I always really like XYZ summoning. Despite being the most unpronounceable summoning mechanic ever, I like the idea of keeping the cards used for the summon on the field (even if they're effectively not on the field anymore) to be used as ammunition for a powerful, finite effect. The idea of having effects that can only be used a certain number of times while the card is face-up, is really interesting, and I think that the XYZ system did that the best. Of course, as Yugioh will often do, they messed with it by doing a bunch of weird stuff. They gave some XYZ's strong effects that don't even use their materials sometimes, and they let you "XYZ climb" by overlaying several, successive XYZ monsters with alternate summoning conditions, essentially rendering the original, sometimes very restrictive condition null. Which, you know, was the point of the restriction in the first place. And of course there are plenty of cards with effects just as strong, if not stronger, than many classic XYZ monsters anyway, and their effects are only finite on a turn-by-turn basis, and require no cost! So hey, at least it was fun and unique while it lasted.
This duel had so many footsies that they didn’t want
Realm of the Sea Emperor Structure Deck maybe…?
That would be cool!
I screamed when you didnt use your hedgehog in the graveyard for that level 8 synchro
Synchro supremacy! 😶
I actually own that XYZ starter deck though.
You both got 3 copies of each deck, Trell just structured his deck poorly. Dude don’t be such a cry baby 😂👶🏽
Synchros got me back into Yu-Gi-Oh. Before Tour Guide made me quit again.
You know your community lol
Structure Decks Themes are my fave but Peak SpellBook Era was actually really fun pacing
Love your stuff guys
Damn Xyz Symphony, that takes me WAYYYYYYY back.
One of my first Starter Decks, got it 2 months after I gave my Blue eyes to my friend who wanted to build Dragons. I needed a new boss to fight against him, and Utopia was that.
I dont like either xyz or synchro but i love my self some fusions lol. I dont think theyre bad just not for me.
I've never seen Trell so salty
i miss duels like these
So after the resolution of the enemy controller since you had a quillbolt in grave and a tuner on field you could have revived it 3+3+2=8 so you could have gone into junk destroyer with 2 pops and it would have been game am i right?
Xyz since my favourite card is dark rebellion and galaxy eyes
Mondern yugioh starter decks….zoodiac introduction to xyz summoning, link starter deck with ip masquerena and saryuya, nekroz starter deck. I mean theyve all been power crept and kinda a welcome to mordern yugioh problems anything less efficient go to edison format
Paul's right, the box for the Xyz one is so cool. I wish they did more like it.
Im a simple person xyz
Ok so I had a random question that popped up in my head while watching, Could Feedback Warrior make something like a XYZ or a Link monster level 3. I know this seems like a dumb question but I thought since it says "it becomes level 3." And not something like "Change it's level to 3." I thought it could give a level to monsters that don't have levels.
Again this was a random question, even if it was possible I don't think anyone would be giving up their normal summon to make a XYZ or Link monster a level 3.
I’m guessing you forgot the quilbolt hedgehog you discarded to grave could have used effect to make another synchro 8 instead of 6
20:53 epic moment lol
Always have been a XYZ and number card fan
Utopic archtype is still my favorite to this day
Took me a while to finally see this video but man was it worth it! Such a fun duel!
I started getting out of yugioh when Xyz monsters were taking off, so Synchro summoning is the biggest nostalgia mechanic for me. It was also the mechanic that made the Extra Deck relevant in a way that GX's fusion focus had just barely started to do.
5:30 that is sick
it would be fun if there was a sort of starter deck tournament to see which one's the best, but it would probably come down to which one's the newer one
I miss the days of plant/junk toolbox also know as shooting quasar says who lol*running the build that broke the game with level eater/spore/glow up bulb/plaguespreader/naturia cherries/tuning ware* teching in BLsEnvoy and the 7star dragons to go into a big eye and Dracosac if necessary 😅 my apologies for sounding boastful, totally unintended.. getting more to the point,, my comment was initially going to be the suggestion of doing a dual pairing a full engine machina deck VS full engine Qliphort ..seems like an entertaining matchup
Well not only that but 2 starter decks introduced 2 new different layouts for their cards, 2010: 7th series and 2012: 8th series
Can I have the two structure decks please
