Branded Test Hands 2: When Every Branded Fusion Gets Ashed + Playing Through it With Engine

deck profile used for this video: • Branded Deck Profile U...
rindbrumm is cool
as with the other test hand video, this is more towards people who are newer to playing branded despia in order to show some options and get your mind going when faced with branded's biggest interruption being ash blossom & joyous spring. cards like crossout designator and nadir servant deal with ash blossom in their own ways, but none of these hands use those cards and show that a board can still be made with your regular engine if you know your basic options first

27:10 this hand, if you kept b fusion in hand, couldve fused into either Albion, searched Merc with Lost, and then resolved B fusion. Good vid love seeing Rindbrum being used well

[@dalspirit1252]

I feel on the 3rd hand u shouldve use retribution to bring back the fusion then send lubellion to grave with albaz and go into albion then do the normal stuff to get albion puppet lock while also still getting branded lost setup and resolving bfusion if your going first that is and u like using puppet lock

[@augusttsutsumi]

A single branded in white would have made the first line so good. grang send shroud, shroud send white, retribution get white fuse for mirror jade. now you have mj on moard which can dump the rind anyway

[@YamiElut]

Havent played white in the build for quite some time, occasionally I want to bring it back though

[@kevinc.8885]

agreed@@YamiElut

[@joeWheeler24]

At 15:10 I think the play was to tribute summon saronir using Albaz, special Lubellion, saronir eff send fusion, Lubellion Eff for Lost, Retribution eff add fusion. but i could be wrong.

Nice video but i hoped u put down the music a little bit Much respect man

[@ahmadalzoubi769]

Thanks for these great educational videos! may I ask if Lulu is a better Granguignol target than Quaerities?

[@YamiElut]

Lulu’s greatest strength is her grave effect on end phase, which is why people will run her in a build that also plays cards like Nadir Servant. But in a Branded Despia build specifically (ie an all fusion build) Quaeritis on field is way more valuable than Lulu is. Not only does he keep monsters from attacking over your fusions, but if he is removed by a card effect summoning out an Albaz as a disruption is better than anything Lulu will do on field Lulu is fine but cuttable, Quaeritis is not in my opinion

[@ahmadalzoubi769]

@@YamiElut thanks

[@devariojohns]

I noticed you dont seem to run the new branded continuous stuff. Do you mind explaining why? Or perhaps doing a video showcasing how they help?

[@YamiElut]

Are you referring to cards like Branded Regained and Branded Beast? Or something else?

[@devariojohns]

@YamiElut yes, those are the ones.

[@YamiElut]

@@devariojohns Regained specifically is effective in decks with very high bystial counts, which is why you see decks like dragon link use it when they play 3 lubellion/saronir and formerly 3 magnamhut, and it could reborn bystial dis pater from grave after combo In regular branded it really doesnt have a lot of application when the “standard” bystial count in branded despia is 1 lubellion 1 saronir Branded beast is a similar thing because in a standard branded deck with 1 lubellion 1 saronir, its 9/10 times better to get branded lost off bystial lubellion instead of regained. Dragon link doesnt fusion so branded lost to them is useless but with high bystial count regained does work. In standard branded, we value our fusion plays more with minimal bystials

[@devariojohns]

@YamiElut So that's why I run out of cards at the end of most of my practice combos. Thanks for explaining, but my deck space is tight, so I don't run opening, tragedy, or... that other level 8, I forgot his name. The last one I don't run because I feel like he gets in the way in my build. I understand why I should run opening and will be looking for cuts to make, but the other two just get in the way. But what about the new field spell?

[@YamiElut]

@@devariojohns I assume you mean ad libitum of despia as the level 8, some people still like him and some dont but at the very least I’d recommend running 3 opening and 1 tragedy. Both are crazy for consistency and utility And I have seen the field spell but I’ve honestly never played with it and have never heard of anyone else playing it either. Seems fun I guess but not anything super great

[@kevinc.8885]

you are pronouncing everything wrong

[@juliangaleano1]

Beautiful! This is so helpful. Please do when Shifter

[@kevinc.8885]

just go into dragoon or rindbrumm

[@darylshields4365]

Good videos bud, keep up the good work ! The views are on their way

[@ramontamayo9237]

Thanks to your videos I’ve learned a lot of interactions. Keep up the great work!

[@arcanicdogo]

Bro, where can i buy this epic field center?

[@YamiElut]

Was part of a pack of 6 (yusei, aki, jack, crow, lua, luca). It was part of this thing in the ocg where you got the field centers and sleeves for the signer dragon monsters a few months ago. I just bought the field centers from someone on ebay

[@Geoter711]

That was a really fun video! Really nice to see your viewpoint and what goes through your mind when making boards and thinking ahead!

[@kevinc.8885]

agreed

[@SnowYugioh]

A little late as im just stumbling upon the video now, but definitely do more of these. Like literally just the same video with new hands haha

[@nate417]

These videos are tremendous learning tools. I am new to the game, and am rolling with this deck. Could you do more test hand videos where you play under other common disruptions? Or another idea, maybe talking about sideboarding for various meta relevant decks?

[@kevinc.8885]

i have been looking for a video for this!!!!!!!

[@denizsyed7699]

Branded is just insane wow, have to built it

[@sidoniocolorado8594]

25:03 Another option would be Normal quem foolish mercourier Then cartesia fuse the albaz and cartesia and make albion CL1 albion Cl2 quem bring back mercourier and albion can make shrouded and now branded fusion can resolve safely cause of mercourier on field. From there you can branded fusions safely.

[@sidoniocolorado8594]

Or you can make granguñol instead of the shrouded up to you

[@YogiLocz]

Gimmick puppet lock would have been the move instead of sending extra deck

[@YamiElut]

Youll never catch me doing that lmao

[@kevinc.8885]

this is a good informal video

[@airshipassassin]

I wanna see your branded build in master duel. Wish you gonna make it soon!

[@YamiElut]

I dont play much master duel, banlist is awful

[@kevinc.8885]

bruh

[@gab1iy]

background music is a bit too loud

[@YamiElut]

Appreciate the feedback, will keep it in mind going forward
