[@ՓՓՓ]

Deck List on MDM with a few notes! www.masterduelmeta.com/top-decks/duelist-cup-dlv.-max/march-2024/darklord/edy/ylS9d

[@n8thegr84456]

if you where to build this deck in the tcg where the despian and branded cards are unlimited how would you change your ratios

[@ՓՓՓ]

@@n8thegr84456 Back when it was all at 3 in MD we did run them, so 3 Aluber/Opening/Branded Fusion. It was more consistent but it left like no real room for handtraps if you kept it at 40, but I think it's not a big deal to go to 42-43 if you really wanted to include something like that

[@nninninn]

After I played your deck, I found it bricked and mastering it might be very, very difficult

[@ՓՓՓ]

@@nninninn it does have quite a bit of a brick factor to it, its not something that can be fixed without making the consistency worse with this archetype sadly. we're experimenting with new cards at the moment but those cards wont come to master duel for a very long time, but at least theres something promising coming

[@nninninn]

@@ՓՓՓ Yeah even though it only has 40 cards it's very brick 😭

[@rome8726]

Awesome game. Those dodges with despian comedy were epic.😂

[@seputrodimas]

really, i thought despian comedy is useless, but after watching this replay my mind blown.

[@guildriss8272]

The return of the king !

[@olynxv240]

That first game was amazing, incredible montage!

[@ՓՓՓ]

Thank you!

[@luizfelipemelo1098]

I love darklords hope they get some more good support

[@Fruit]

the return of the undisputed goat, this video saved my life

[@ՓՓՓ]

💀

[@lugiaaero9226]

The master of the Darklords has returned! And with a banger video to boot! Loved the video Edy it’s great to have you back!

[@hardlyknowherald]

Incredible games, you make summoning the first dark lord, mirrorjade and kristina all so easy. You inspired me to play branded darklord, can’t wait to give this new decklist a try

[@tomponce8188]

As usual, awesome game-play. dat royal TFD is also looking nice.

[@eimanoh]

Using mirrorjade 2-3 times a turn is insane. Not to mention kristiya lock :)

[@shizan1068]

great video as always

[@Superspides]

Thanks for the video! I finally chose what deck to play thanks to you!

[@dizi6363]

Your channel is awesome, can’t get enough of your replays, keep it up. I would love to see a guide that explains, which hand/starter ends in which board and how you play through different handtraps. I want to play this deck in the TCG, where aluber, branded fusion and opening are all at 3. I assume playing them all at 3 is optimal, but I can’t decide what to cut from your list to fit them in. Any recommendations?

[@ՓՓՓ]

It's hard to recommend a list for TCG since I don't play it myself, it's in a different meta as well with more decks to think about. As for the optimal plays, I think the deck would make more sense to more players if they saw it as a lower power Branded deck and played accordingly. The exception would be if you're able to make TFD and get Kristya on the field through any means with your hand, that would take priority since that can single-handedly decide the game.

[@dizi6363]

The Metas are different for sure, but that's fine, I'm not trying to win any tournaments with the deck, just want to have fun at locals. Imagine in Master Duel the cards were at 3, how would that change your list?

[@ՓՓՓ]

@@dizi6363 having the protection of 3 Branded Opening is definitely welcome, especially for those non-targeting pops. 3 Aluber would make it a bit more consistent too. I assume that 3 Branded Fusion would be so good for the deck but I guess I just got used to it being at 1 that I don't see it as a big deal haha. I think the problem here is that you'll fill up the deck even faster with all of these that you might not even know what to put in for board breakers, hand traps, or other consistency cards

[@dizi6363]

Exactly, it's hard to fit everything in. Even though I usually hate to do that, in this case it might actually be right to play over 40.

[@drophobia]

quick, give the king the best seat! he's back

[@EdKunn1]

Wooow !! All the counter plays !! Gg !! +1 sub

[@Diwurhkzk-908]

you are totally awesome ! incredible isn't enough to describe your combos in my dictionary !

[@LazyFox69]

Top G i love the Deck

[@Jyxero]

Didn't knew about R3NA... Now my life can't move forward without it As usual Lab replays are the ones I'm eager to look at... D.D Crow & Krystia lock while dodging like a boxer? #feelsbadman 10/10 video, would be 12/10 but I'm based againist floodgates (At least has synergy with your strategy instead of a random Gimmick puppet)

[@ՓՓՓ]

One day we’ll get new support and won’t have to resort to using Kristya 🙁 but until then it’s worth using

[@Grimrai悲壮ライPlay]

Let's get ready to rumble!

[@xelz5975]

I see that you don't use ASHE and CBTG, how do you deal with the annoying Maxx C? 🤔

[@ՓՓՓ]

A lot of the times the TFD + Kristya Lock happens the following turn, so I can still keep my special summon amount low. There are also times where if I know I can do the Kristya lock under maxx c I usually go for it since it can instantly win you the game. Watch out for Nibiru though haha

[@xelz5975]

@@ՓՓՓ I'm trying to build a competitive deck with DarkLords + Sinchro, but I still have a lot of problems with the meta decks.

[@ՓՓՓ]

@@xelz5975 I do have an older video about Darklord Runick where it's a lot easier to do synchro summoning. Might be worth looking into for making an updated version of it

[@xelz5975]

@@ՓՓՓ I was testing cards like tokusano shinkyōjin to extend the card draw by drawing Itxzel who is level 10, Kahyoreigetsu to summon a minor fairy at level 4 extra and get greater polymerization at the end of the turn, I always carry 3 diviner of the herald to throw useful cards to the graveyard, I usually end up doing a combo with Trias Hierarchia, but I still can't put together a good synchro deck, I also tried using Ecclesia de virtuos that can be summoned for free on the second turn along with a level 4 I can easily take out Chaos Archfiend and easily clear an entire field, but since I always take it to 1 copy it doesn't always work out first hand, I was trying many combinations and I'm still trying more.

[@alexex9662]

he's alive pog

[@user-mp9pn9bz3z]

1st Darklord not having negate nor being unaffected is so bad, on top of Darklords being bad as a whole and Branded version being a worst version of "pure" Branded 😔

[@ՓՓՓ]

I wish they were better, maybe one day we will get proper support.

[@jaiekmc5730]

finally an update from Edy

[@yanlethal]

My man only need 3 crow for hand trap

[@belio2232]

I'm curious about Ixchel , why playing it when you don't play that much dark lords cards ?? (Also good gameplay gg's)

[@ՓՓՓ]

Trying to find a balance of having enough darklord cards to still use their effects vs having a good chance of drawing into cards that get the branded side of it rolling. Using Branded fusion just once thins the deck enough to improve the chances of drawing a darklord card afterward, with lets say guardian chimera etc. I always change the deck list so feel free to use them as a reference and change things around!

[@nninninn]

Is this deck better than the deck you posted a video about 4 months ago?

[@ՓՓՓ]

its hard to say a proper answer because it completely depends on the meta. right now any variant of darklords is going to struggle unfortunately

[@AquaAmazake]

How often do you brick?

[@ՓՓՓ]

Quite a lot. It's what happens when you play Darklords sadly

[@AquaAmazake]

@@ՓՓՓ yeah I’ve been crazy about building it but my friend keeps saying it’s not worth it. There’s another deck I want to try frost I saw. His YT is AnimeStrife and has a punk/horus/kash deck

[@LakadMatatag2702]

skillfull player. That's all I can say since I don't know how to play xcombo deck:)) but I get through this meta with Floowandereeze

[@jaerel]

My guy.

[@BaderDinner]

Can i replace abyss dragon with somthing else?

[@ՓՓՓ]

Absolutely. It's the least used card in the extra and pretty much used as Mirrorjade ammo for when you're deep in a grind game for the most part. Was thinking of replacing it with Proskenion to improve this deck's ability to banish even more.

[@HFS0744]

Love it

[@BigJUNE666]

Nah, It's just Meta vs Meta.

[@KnightLuciferZero]

I feel 40 is too limiting.

[@ՓՓՓ]

Assuming there’s nothing new soon, I’ll test out a larger deck size 🤔

[@TiagoRodrigues-oz4qs]

Common bro this is just branded 🤣

[@ՓՓՓ]

LOL well for the most part that is what you're playing with this deck. Aiming for TFD + Kristya in the end board is still what this deck's goal is, just need to have some power to fight through to get there.

[@davidnelson43]

I LIKE UR MONTAGE I LIKE UR DECK I LIKE UR VIBE I LIKE UR GAMEPLAY CAN I GIVE U MY WIFE ?

[@ՓՓՓ]

Your wife reading this: 👁👄👁

[@beansbrewllc]

I love everything about your video except the annoying music. It was more distracting than anything.

[@ՓՓՓ]

Can't please everyone, but I'd rather use music I enjoy.

[@thekittenfreakify]

kinda sad pure sucks

[@ՓՓՓ]

The sad truth 😔

[@thekittenfreakify]

They should get a new fusion and a new spell that fuses from deck.
