BRANDED DESPIA | BEST WAY TO PLAY - STILL THE BEST!

[@Askld]

For the past 2 years I've played 0 meta decks. I've only ever really played rogue decks that stood out to me and made me feel like a protagonist. Assualt mode activate / relinquished / winged dragon of Ra / clear mind accel synchro / Blackwing / raidraptors / and most of all, HEROES. Now I'm sick and tired of getting my ass handed to me and never ranking up not hitting DLV 20 on any event. I'm going to embrasse the dark side and this deck seems like the perfect start

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

Welcome to the dark side You picked a good deck but the problem is it’s too expensive, so hopefully you’ve been collecting gems all this time

[@Askld]

@@Moha-MasterDuel I don't spend money on the game so I had to pretty much ditch all my other decks (except for the heroes one of course) to make the exact one you gave, and oooooff it's damn expensive. Will start practicing this deck as soon as I can, thank you for the help!

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

@@Askld good luck! Always happy to help

[@Askld]

@@Moha-MasterDuel a question! What do I do when I open with nadir servant?

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

@@Askld you do all your branded plays first, then nadir servant when you’re not fusion summoning anymore, send Titaniklad to summon quem during the end phase

[@plabcentral630]

I love fighting branded. It’s like a puzzle you have to solve. Although I’ve been playing burn this season so it’s not really that hard.

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

True! Branded is a really well designed deck to use and play against

[@krishdeepsingh4084]

Lets go branded!

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

Let’s goooo

[@myrox8792]

Hey so question since i’m still fairly new to Branded and wanna learn What would u say is like the best gameplan vs Expurrely Noir? assuming ur going second and that it has too much attack to get killed Titaniklad?

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

You won’t play vs Purrely a lot it’s been heavily nerfed, but generally you’ll want to bait it to activate one or two times until it’s no longer unaffected, then you should be able to deal with it

[@thecolonel5700]

That game against Labrynth was amazing I'm guessing the best way to shut Lab down is to banish everything or shut off gy access?

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

Thank you! And yes best way to shut them down is first banish lovely labrynth, they usually only play 1, and when you’re done with that you try banishing all their lady labrynth

[@EndingVisions]

@@Moha-MasterDueldo I really need harpies feather duster

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

@@EndingVisions no, but you can get it for free from solo mode

[@molecular_deer]

is grass even good in this deck? a lot of players use it but there are few targets and they aren't even consistent if u open with grass exept tragedy

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

A lot of good hits, retribution into branded fusion, Saronir, blazing Cartesia and branded in white to recover resources, Despian tragedy, opening to protect from destruction effects, branded lost to either grab it or place it face up with branded beast, Mercourier to banish

[@molecular_deer]

@@Moha-MasterDuel yeah u right but most of the time u dump them with other cards

[@Gloryontoyou]

Or a small tear package

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

@@molecular_deer yes most of the time you dump them with other cards, but grass is there to ensure you have multiple ways of doing so

[@Ghost_MasterDuel]

nice decklist i will try it after ramadan :D

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

Ramadan Karim! And good luck

[@AlexanderLupo]

I know this is branded fusion but man you should mix in a couple of the dogmatika cards and the synchros like Lulu, Dis Pater, and Chaos Angel. So much synchronicity its very fun to play with. Don’t sleep on Ecclesia or Iris Swordsoul either.

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

Trust me I’d include all those cards if we had more extra deck space, but as it stands I’m using almost every cards in my extra deck I don’t know what I would take out

[@AlexanderLupo]

Borreload and Mudragon for Dis Pater and Lulu.

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

@@AlexanderLupo I summon Borreload and Mudragon pretty often, wouldn’t take them out

[@AlexanderLupo]

@@Moha-MasterDuelim not telling you to erase this decklist man. Just saying to give a try to some of the dogmatika cards in a different profile. They are amazing extenders especially when you have any of the fusions on the field. Especially off nadir servant if you already got your fusions on the field. Send Titaniklad with nadir, bring out quem to the field, end of turn you summon dog ecclesia, she brings fleur de lis to hand. Fleur de lis is a free summon and monster negate from hand. I run 60 card branded despia with a few dogmatika cards been to master rank with it. Its more fun in my opinion than pure branded fusion.

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

@@AlexanderLupo fair, it’s definitely a different way to play branded, will try it out thanks!

[@JosephHk743]

Even with the small hit limiting opening to 1, Branded Despia is still going strong! What was the One card you added in from last time since the desk itself it’s mostly the same?

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

It’s almost identical, I removed 3 droll, added 3 veiler I removed 1 magnamhut, 1 Druiswurm, 1 copy of Kitt, added 3 Imperm Also added branded regained but you don’t have to, I’m still testing with it

[@JosephHk743]

@@Moha-MasterDuel a nice even trade all around for the current meta

[@Solo-ku8xb]

Any good Branded Masquerade setups for this format?

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

Don’t think masquerade is too good for this format

[@Linh-mk9wl]

Mathmech and SHS in duelist cup next please!!

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

I’ll make something like best for duelist cup 2nd stage

[@majinmesun]

To bad for the net decker that didn’t know this combo

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

Ah it’s fine, after people copy the deck and practice they’ll eventually learn more combos

[@arthuroptc7479]

I play also with Gimmick Amazing play 👍

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

Thank you! I used to also play gimmick puppet until my comments started criticizing me for it 😭

[@davidcantor8349]

I chose to leave out 1 Super Poly for Gimmick (mostly because I don’t have the 3rd and I’m full out of UR dust). Is it the best move?

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

@@davidcantor8349 yeah bro that’s good for now, tho I’d work on getting a 3rd super poly

[@litenyng]

Branded love 🖤

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

Always

[@itachiyy4516]

Whats your fav deck in the game

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

Danger dark world deck

[@daielmrnv]

I'm currently debating on if I should build this deck or Tearlaments. I see Branded mostly higher up in the ranking but tear is up there as well. Which one would u say is the stronger one? And is it likely for Branded to get further hit in the next banlist?

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

I think branded is better, but Tearlaments is close behind I feel like branded is safe from the banlist, they’ve been hit a lot and you have snake eyes running around everywhere

[@daielmrnv]

@@Moha-MasterDuel Would you say that Chimera Branded is better than pure?

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

@@daielmrnv no I think pure is better, but we haven’t had enough time to judge chimera branded yet

[@daielmrnv]

@@Moha-MasterDuel Last question. Since pretty much every card in branded is a UR and I'm quite low on budget I can only build a 40 card branded deck which obviously isn't full power. Would u say that 40 card branded is still stronger than tear which is usually played at 40?

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

@@daielmrnv i think it’s still better than Tearlaments, tho it’s pretty close, here’s a 45 card Decklist: www.masterduelmeta.com/top-decks/community-tournaments/9/branded-despia/alanzera/hsJB9

[@shaungomez9898]

Using a predator counter is not going to help you win because it can be stopped instantly

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

They’d have to deal with dragostapelia first which could be an issue

[@vwicent166]

can i ask why is there no gimmick puppet here? is it better to play branded using this deck than playing with puppet?

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

It’s good to have the puppet just as an option, I took it out because people hate when I use it

[@vwicent166]

how about the nadir servant? is it still good to use nadir without maximus and the other extra deck card? ​@@Moha-MasterDuel

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

@@vwicent166 it’s still good, it searches for quem to normal summon, or alternatively, it sends Titaniklad to grave which then summons quem in the end phase

[@vwicent166]

if i play with gimmick using your decklist, what should i remove?should i play 60 with gimmick? is it more bricky since 60 cards is too much? @@Moha-MasterDuel

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

@@vwicent166 you should definitely play 60, maybe remove branded regained

[@Emman_Silva]

Do you have consistency issue with the hand traps that you run ?

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

No issues, had like 8/10 good hands when I hand tested

[@Emman_Silva]

Which one better, this one or snake kashtira

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

Probably snake eyes kashtira, honestly anything with snake eyes is crazy good now

Which Ecclesia is that

[@edward5716]

Is it good against snake eyes?

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

Yes, you have your typical 3 Imperm and 3 Veiler, you have branded lost which auto wins (since they can’t negate Albaz fusing with Apollousa/baronne) you have Albaz and super poly to fuse with opponent’s monsters, you have Mirrorjade to banish flamberge before it hits the grave

[@angelduarte4202]

You guys think branded is just always going to be powerful

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

I think so yes, unless they ban branded fusion or somethin which I don’t think they’ll do

[@sanjuan4347]

what is better? 40 or 60 cards?

[@Moha-MasterDuel]

60 cards for sure

[@kubasosulski1681]

It depends. If you play Grass, Sarcophagus and Mercourier play 60 cards.
