[@djdelinquent]

thank u so much, i been deadass struggling trying to combo. preciate it big bro

[@Enyalus87]

Really good plays. Branded was the 2nd deck I played after DM during the 1st anniversary. Haven't played it since Tear 0 format but I've always loved it so I'm trying to get back into how to play the current iteration.

Great video and explanation how things work mate keep it up

[@dylanarmstrong9328]

I've been going back and forth between having 3 ash vs 3 maxx. Having the extra draws is nice but at the same time I also really like having that negate. Furious Borrelload has saved my butt a few times since Branded Despia is notoriously bad at targeting backrow and it's easier to summon than Lulu half the time. I've been using "white" albion a lot more recently because it's like a free mirrorjade on the opponents turn if I have a fusion moster in grave or my opponent has an extra deck monster in grave. I love this deck.

[@KaiVTu]

Maxx C is the best card in the game in general, extremely hard to replace. I would run it over Ash blossom any day. Even just 1 or 2 cards off of it tends to be more powerful than any other hand trap.

[@dylanarmstrong9328]

@@KaiVTu that's fair. What's your general game plan when you're going second with this deck?

[@KaiVTu]

@@dylanarmstrong9328 It really depends on the hand. Generally I'll just try for proper sequencing. And if I can board break with super poly I pretty much always go for it first.

Amazing. Now I just need to craft 3x TTT.

[@iloveghost5645]

I love branded despia but i almost always run short on time, dont have trouble with any other deck

[@marquesguilherme3746]

pls konami, stop this madness and back with aleister and shaddol monsters

[@goomba6658]

Do you think Lulu is better than Quaeritis in most cases?

[@KaiVTu]

Yes and no. Quaeritis is better in situations in which you are fusing with despias more. So if you're running branded banishment or things of that nature, Quaeritis can edge out Lulu. Both are good cards though.

[@Gleech]

thank you so much for this guide! Im new to branded and i was searching how to play and learn it then gladly i found this channel! keep it up 🫡

[@andreperry7995]

The best board breaker is super ploy or Alba-Lenatus the Abyss dragon. Because dragon link is very popular right now. I disagree with you saying fallen of Albaz is the best board breaker.

[@KaiVTu]

Fallen of Albaz is one of our best board breakers because he's so playable. Many of the fusions throw him onto the board at end of turn for free and he makes super poly exponentially more dangerous.

[@andreperry7995]

@@KaiVTu he can get negate or destroy on the field. So super ploy is better because neither player can respond to the card activation.

[@dylanarmstrong9328]

​@@andreperry7995Super poly is really good when your opponent has a bunch of negates, but if you get branded lost on the field it doesn't matter as they wouldn't be able to stop Albaz anyway. Albaz is also easier to search as if you don't draw thrust or super poly, you're not using super poly period.
