Man that game 1 of the grand finale was insane!

[@trulyinfamous16]

That was Yugioh at its best lol. For 2 weeks now we’ve seen what duels are like when Branded is the best deck. All the more reason Puppet can be banned (and others like it). In no world do you trade these high level duels so some freaks can play Puppet, Idol, or Ra. #ProtectSantifire

that fist duel of the finals was one of the best ever

[@HyperWhale286]

the best WWE wrestle of all time indeed

[@Steve-yn6ym]

Who was fisting

[@trulyinfamous16]

Great example of why Branded is allowed to be the “best” deck by Konami. There’s never going to be a perfectly balanced meta, but if the best deck is one that allows these types of duels instead of say… Runick stun? Konami can live with that. When Branded is the best deck, it’s always going to be a diverse meta

[@mckenlyoneal143]

I completely agreed… until Gozen completely ruined it.

[@saladbetch8235]

​@@trulyinfamous16fusion has always been the oldest type of extra deck monster. The fact that branded can incorporate so many different tech and strategies into it is the reason why its so diverse and can still function dynamically with branded fusion at 1. Branded fusion at 1 only makes people getting creative with the way they play branded and i absolutely love it

[@Kintaku]

Really appreciate you guys always hosting these tournaments. Even more than the weekly entertainment, these serve as a really cool look back throughout the different metas of Master Duel. It’s like a digital time capsule. Keep up the great work!

[@philwendisch4894]

How is this sooooo much better than any ycs including the commentary?

[@RecordToDeathToBoredom]

Built different

[@deadbeatplays]

Dkayed is skilled. I don't even like yugioh and yet I'm always watching his YCS coverage and tournaments.

[@yaroubthayer-752]

Dkayed is built different. Seriously though, he’s an amazing caster.

[@xxMunda]

That ruling on how Daruma fizzled out at 2:38 is likely why some players don't even bother to read the opponent's cards anymore lol. It makes sense, it's just understandably confusing from a newcomer's perspective.

[@Karmitify]

Sounds like a skill issue, not in terms of the game but the English language ☠️

[@wilmyvaldez2953]

​@@Karmitifykind of, but in other card games effects like those still resolves without problems

[@destructionswordspet]

Yeah having the same interraction in edopro, thought it was a bug

[@ct1296]

Some insane plays by the branded pilot that went underappreciated here - I really don’t think anyone sane can knock them for *checks notes* playing too heavily into Weighbridge? Shrouded Albion sending Retribution for cost then being pitched as CL2 with BIHS, Quem sending Quem to turn Banishment online, using Branded Lost early to grab a Mercourier for a potential Ash, using Branded Lost late to enable multiple unrespondable pops in the same chain. Crazy how people to this day call the deck “Braindead” with the skill expression on display here.

[@eggsee_]

Only real braindead calls branded braindead 😂

[@irfansiregar]

​@@eggsee_ yes these braindead people probably can only play mirrorjade end turn and lose after that

Bro the gozen match had me confused

[@realtailmarvell7433]

Dinasour survived after 2 meteor falls 😂. What a historical moment!

[@metalmariomega]

Solemn Strike can play through Barkion, it's a COUNTER Trap, you need EXACTLY a Counter Trap to chain to those. The problem Lab had that first game is they opened too many monsters with access to just ONE other trap, and would have been pulverized regardless.

[@firebreakbo3]

That lava golem play was insane I can't believe he used the virus to destroy his traps then made gozen mistake

[@RenegadeRacoon]

Bro even had the chance to give a second lava golem to the opponent when the opponent was on 2000 life anyway.

[@firebreakbo3]

[@jaycarl85]

Finals game 1 was an intense grind game. I'm believing more so that someone at Konami is a serious branded enjoyer. Good work once again Dkayed and co. Also everyone that joined the tournament.

[@widchaponjearaphunt5452]

Laby and Branded are both good at grind game, I once duel with Branded too turn 18 LOL

I’m loving these videos

[@juanglebronmedina3957]

The Gran final first match was crazy

[@starboyjedi13]

31:48 Literally watched Salads get bullied by Branded there.

[@areono460]

I will never understand why the 2 naturia monsters are legal they're infinite negates essentially floods too idk how that's not the most broken thing in existence

[@cliffhanger906]

Every deck has its weakness. When you ingore floodgates. Naturia loses against beatstick monsters easily. Vanquish Soul, Kashtira, Trains, SHS...... But excell great against those who rely on it so badly, Sky Striker, Lab, Runick. A deck is truly broken when there really isnt any counter part to it. IMO Vanquish Soul is pretty broken, you NEED floodgates in order to stop it, thats already a problem itself.

[@FrostReave]

3 there’s also the Fusion which is actually the worst one but it’s just hard to get out. I don’t get why they aren’t more popular for how toxic they are.

[@prosketch95]

​@@cliffhanger906no VS in the top 16 is criminal

[@FrostReave]

⁠@@cliffhanger906I don’t get why think VS is really that strong. The only time I ever struggled against it is when they draw twice into Maxx C and Floodgates and I’m a Sky Striker/Mikanko player

They have infinite negate but cannot negate monster also you need earth to summon them not generic cards

[@TheUcHiHaMaD]

​@@prophetmuhammad3890how is that a counter argument?

[@Altares_V]

Making your opponent lose card advantage from ANY location isn't yugioh exclusive and usually isn't that big of a deal when it is random. The issue in ygo is that they can't balance hand rips because it is always 2 or more potential rips plus big body on the field that does something else. Worst offender by far was gumblar. In the older days it was your opponent adds key card mind crush on resolution. These crippling ways of disadvantaging your opponent are never going away and they aren't getting balanced in this card game especially

[@Elite_Kamayuk]

Man, I love watching your tournaments! Branded best deck!!

[@Gvnrae]

I don’t like Branded, but I do love watching his tournaments, especially with his commentary. Quickly became one of my favorite yugioh channel
