Branded Lore accurate tournament. It is very funny that every fusion monster that is present in this game can be teched into Albaz decks. Is insane how resistent the deck is to anything, even Konami plans.

[@watt-zitt-tooya]

that Abo main phase 3 plays is insane ... I dont know you could do all that combo after 3 handtrap

[@trulyinfamous16]

Aside from puppet lock, branded is what every deck should be imo. If every deck were built to be around the power level of branded, we’d have a much more fun game

Beating Abohmod 2 times in the wcs qualifier is one of my biggest achievement (going 2nd both games. Moreover, after the 2nd game, he even went to the Floowandereeze discord channel to confirm that if he was facing me. It was an honor to discuss with him about the game)

I'm sorry to ZuLibo who must've been feeling the pressure of a grand finals. The misplays during game 2 were brutal.

[@Did_No_Wrong]

The yubel support is a lot cheaper to craft than I thought it was gonna be. The only UR maindeck is Nightmare throne with the rest being the extra deck fusions which at best you only want 2 spirits of Yubel and 1 of the super poly target.

[@FantasySweetness766]

I made the call that both the Fusions were going to be UR, Nightmare Throne I was on the fence of it being SR, thought Spirit was going to be SR, knew Samsara would be SR, and thought the Grave Squirmer were going to be SR, and thought Mature would be R. I wasn't far off.

[@aethxn]

you actually want to play 3 spirits of yubel in the main deck optimally and if youre referring to phantom of yubel for the extra deck thats another 3x of

[@FantasySweetness766]

What aethxn said. I'm currently using 2 and am working for the 3rd Phantom, and currently run 3 Spirits since it lessens the need for shuffling back one for Phantom and it isn't that much of a dead draw in the deck.

[@Ai_s_a01]

​@@FantasySweetness766good job 👍🏻

[@FantasySweetness766]

@@Ai_s_a01 thanks! I've been waiting for this deck ever since it came out in the TCG, so I knew what I was going to do right away, knew what I wanted, and was pretty accurate based on how the deck felt like on the rarities. Now it's time to see how it plays in Master Duel.

[@Timeater]

It is always cool to have new strategies in the meta. It will always refresh things, especially if the meta was under a extreme dominance of a Tier 1/0 deck (Snake-Eyes) for so long. But it is also detrimental to see how players swarm a deck to a point that suffocates the variety of strategies that could have surged due to the arrival of a new good deck. For entertainment purposes, because in the end these tournaments are for video content, it is not a good thing. At least not yet because its still fresh...

[@FrostReave]

I can agree with the overall massage but “it’s always cool to have new strategies in the meta” is something I have to disagree with. Because there’s things like Kashtira that are just so inherently toxic and decks like Tearlament that are just so inherently broken and oppressive that even brand new are just so miserable for the game

Yea my buddy who constantly plays branded started throwing in the loving defender months ago just as a superpoly target since i was the only person on yubel at our locals for months and got so many players their on random decks having loving defender in the extra deck and superpoly in the main or side for when they play me lol still taken 1st multiple times before phantom but still hurt when it did seem to come out of nowhere.

How did we not see any mirror yubel with all those yubel deck damn😅

[@BigCheechin]

Watching branded puppet lock with nothing but a foolish burial + any 2 monsters in the game made me realize, one fiendsmith comes out, Beatrice will be way to accessible even in yubel, snake eyes, any deck basically. This means making a Beatrice, then linking with the lacrimosa in any combo will just be a puppet lock. Sanctifire isn’t even the problem card now, it’s either puppet, or Beatrice. One or both has to go, but knowing Konami way too well, I’m calling it right now write this down, they are either going to BAN SANCTIFIRE or NOT BAN ANY of the interactions that allow puppet locks. That’s just the ultimate Konami move. Gimmick puppet nightmare and Beatrice should BOTH be PRE BANNED for when fiendsmith comes out. Let them make the double field omni, OR make a Caesar, not literallt do anything in the game including playing with yourself because your opponent can’t summon. Banning Beatrice also kills cancerous transaction rollback combos like getting all your board breakers hand ripped by eradicator, Angel of blue tears setting D barrier from deck, getting Elemental Bursted, getting Thunder of Ruler’d when tenpai comes out because it turns off battle phase freezing tenpai, and plays around evenly and yubel randomly killing you. It’s all just too unfair it is literally pick up your deck and shove your cards up your opponents graveyard. Please dkayed I’m manifesting that this reaches you and you say something to Mr Konami himself.

[@Jellypeño6]

I really like the Promethean line. Its really strong in the grind game combined with duelittle chimera. In some situation i added back the ash i used on maxx c on turn 1 with chimeras effect which provides and extra disruption that isnt just a monster negate. Definitely prefer the promethean version

For the 2nd game of the grand final, if Zulibo let the effect of anaconda copy deployment go through that would have ended Abo’s turn right? He can only go into albaz or cartesia then no more special summon. There was no need to change anaconda effect if it’s not copying a super poly, save it for whatever the anaconda summon. Zulibo could potential have game next turn and thus winning the series.

@@asole100 beckoning lets you double summon and gates allows you to summon from the grave. So either spirit, og, or lotus to extend your plays. They put you directly into link climbing. They aren’t “great” cards initially but in this deck they are the mvp

[@asole100]

​@@nickowens7680 Exactly it requires other cards for any of those effects to be useful, and if those are the only two engines you pulled you're going to lose because you'll only be able to end on Rage therefore the reason I say those cards aren't as busted as you're making out to be at least not on the level of Snake Eyes's one card combos.

Now let’s say there are multiple tier 0 decks. Now everyone who doesn’t play these deck is absolutely screwed with no ability to plan and *every* game being miserable instead of every few games.
