Duel Monsters cards are the vessels of choice for duelists and sorcerers to channel monster spirits and magic effects in epic clashes of wills. They’re also trading cards that actual human people collect and trade in real life. In the original Yu-Gi-Oh series, Duel Monsters cards were created by megarich entrepreneur / amateur painter Maximillian Pegasus and his company Industrial Illusions. Us real-lifers get cards printed by Konami, but some cards are weird, and blur the narrative line between our world and the anime. Yup, this video is going to take a look at a select few normal monsters released from Konami written by plucky perpetual underdog, Joey Wheeler.

I feel like so many classic fusion monsters would have been so much better if they combined the statlines from their materials, being as they were specific materials. Like Alligator's Sword Dragon, it would have had 2700ATK/1900DEF with an effect that wouldn't see it have much use today but back in the day it would have been one of the top extra deck monsters in the game.
I literally want 3 copies of each
Nyeh!

Little D is also performing Wheeler's pose. that pose with the funny smile
It's so interesting they chose to do this in English, too bad there isn't an equivalent to this in (most) other languages these cards were released in as far as I know
Hey, I have a question hope someone why play a lot of card game can answer
Also I found out about your channel recently. And I really like them. (Both the pokemon and yugioh one)! Thank you for making them! 🙂
Even if I don't play the card game myself, I watched a lot of yugioh and pokemon anime. (And played the old gameboy versions that features card game aspect that I really enjoyed)
It has tho sparked the idea for me to play this card game after watching your videos. However, I'm not sure which one to play.
My question being: Which is more suggested? To play Pokemon or YuGiOh (card game online)?
Based on that;
I don't think I want to spend any real money…
I think I'd feel very nervous to play against real players. Because Im super newb and not very good with card games overall. Which of these game platform/options is better to pick? As in, how easy it is to get cards for f2p. And in terms of story/quests (if there are any) or any other features (that I am clueless about)
Thank you~
If he ever get his retrains, it's waaaay better that it's not connected to Red-Eyes for how still bad it is….. He needs that treatment ala normal Yugi's retrained monsters which is detached from DM or Gaia/BLS, Magnet Warriors, Buster Blader, etc…….
I never realized how narrow a fandom I might be in when I expected there to be a reference to “Thank you for having me, it’s great to be here.”
MAKE SOME NOISE RRAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
I had one of these cards as a kid and I thought it was a bootleg card because of how dumb the spelling is.
Considering Konami made the Memento Archetype and the new series of cards that work with Gold Sarcophagus, I bet there's some mad lad at Konami who is just waiting to make Wheeler's 9 and archetype.
PS: I opened this box some years ago when Argentina's economy wasn't garbage, I just got Skull Stalker but the secrets were fire.
About Hitotsu-Me Giant's name change, it's actually not censorship. Back in the early days konami changed some of the more western sounding names into japanese names to make the cards feel more unique. Cyclops exists in every form of fantasy but Hitotsu-Me Giant is yugioh only. Same with Meotoko, Sangan, Raigeki and many more.
So this is why in more modern reprints/games the descriptions sound like Joey talking instead of the original versions
15:35 "where actually he would have won if he didn't die", if I use the original title of that episode.
Babylon was an Akkadian city-state in what is now modern day Iraq and was the capital of one of the Babylonian Empires.
I appreciated the Karen reference from the johto pokemon games 😂🤘🏻
I loved the karen quote at the end
Minor things but, Pegasus was a professional painter not an amateur, and Bonz is pronounced like Bones.
Being me both a Yu-Gi-Oh Nerd and a linguistics nerd, this video is absolute pure delight to me
12:09
🎶 There sat a seven headed beast, ten horns raised from his head. 🎶
Someone at Konami clearly wanted to have fun with these
The current support for his deck is pretty good but it falls short of more evolved decks like Kaiba's support who incorporates more summoning options
An interesting thing about Wolf is it has the same stats as Silver Fang, one of Yugi's early monsters and I think at least once Silver Fang used Wolf's art in the manga too!
More than anything I'm surprised Alligator Sword isn't a Beast Warrior or even Warrior given how Joey's deck is warrior focused.
You might be my first TCG YouTuber! Love some lore like this
This video was such a bizarre experience. Like, it keeps itself completely straight while covering a very meaningless topic. It keeps derailing into specific explanations and going back to many specific points of the story in the anime. It thoroughly covers every aspect it could about every card mentioned, as if to simply extend the length of the video but it goes way above the required time for midrolls. It captivates the viewer with the sincerity, seriousness and passion put behind this deep dive while also staying shallow enough that it can be understood by even the most casual of fans. I admire the way this is presented and how off putting it is. Truly a work of art keep it up 👍
This video didn't have to be 19 minutes long, but I'm really glad it was. The dialect examinations, naming comparisons, and censorship sidebar were a lot of fun. Great vid!
I need a full video explaining what pot of greed does!!
Little D is the vital 6th part of Exodia 😁
The remake of Monster Reborn is much better though, because it's iconic to the game, whereas the original was iconic to Egyptian mythology.
(which the game was originally based on, but you wouldn't really know that from the cards alone until Pharonic Guardian came out^^)
Can someone explain what the pot of greed can do? I always forgot what it does
You made this out of spite of MBT
Now I know where these silly, yet neat cards came from! Thank you!
I'ma wolf ova hea!!!
They ey is closer pronounced ay, like “ay I’m walking ovah here!”
Wait, Joey is responsible for the 6th piece of Exodia?!
3:15 why aren't you doing the funny voice? I quit watching
BROOKLYN RAGE!
Are you an AI or something? when you're reading the description of Joey's cards, you have to sound like Joey!
its impossible to know
I'm surprised no one said, "Brooklynn Rage!" in the comments.
Ah yes Little D, the secret sixth Exodia piece.
I love how unnecessarily long and overly explained this video is. You have such a soothing voice that I could hear you yapping away for eternity
Why is Alligator Sword not a beast WARRIOR if he has to be a beast is my question
Who wants a Joey Wheeler vanilla monster inspired archetype where every card and effect reads like broken Bostonian English
That last pokemon Gold reference caught me off guard. Nice work man!
"Why does Joey Wheeler have a Brooklyn accent?"
Because Wayne Grayson thought it'd be cool
THERE answered that mystery in a single sentence
Armadiller instead of armadillo is straight brooklyn lmfaooo
😂😂 man duelvlogs has such a calming voice and nice tone that he can tell me my whole family passed and I would be like. Ha, I understand, it is just that God needed them as materials for a fusion monster or something.
