These NEW CYAC Branded Combos are UNREAL (CYAC Format Deck Profile)

Like the video or I'll Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can send 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck to the GY that mentions "Fallen of Albaz" as material; banish 1 monster on the field, also this card cannot use this effect next turn.

Ended up having to dogsit, so PYP finale will be out on Tuesday but in the MEANTIME, Branded just got very juicy 😳 buzzin for a new format

[@lucapangrazi9217]

You have to make another yugioh from scratch challenge mode and play purrely this time

[@alexanderwinter6564]

Ehm, no!😂 Purrely is garbo for this series. He should play 3x Jack Atlas Structure Deck.

[@voidlockdragon1406]

I was thinking of some spicy tech with the cyberstorm access cards. Fusion duplication seems to be a really powerful card with despia branded deck. Not only copying branded fusion during the opponent's turn, there is a powerful lock with it as well. With instant fusion, you can copy it's effect in the gy with fusion duplication and summon winda to gate them. At end phase, you get rid of it from instant fusions condition. I think it's an easier branded expulsion substitute, while fusion duplication having several setups.

[@nathanheming9270]

[@kevinromero5092]

Got to admit... you just made me love Branded even more! Those are some really sick plays!

Expulsion like isn't terribly hard but It's cheap lol

[@user-qf6ie3rd7i]

Well a win is a win tbh

[@user-qf6ie3rd7i]

I mean its one of if not the neat win condition for the deck so y not abuse it until konami bans it? I mean apparently branded guys like to fight a uphill battle or dpesnf like to win. And no I'm defending the lock cause i cant play the deck but if it gives you a win in whichever game, y not play it?

[@LauncherSpiderMk7]

@@user-qf6ie3rd7i A lot of times, if they stop the lock, you have no other interruptions. So it's a matter of risk vs. reward. I think it's definitely worth siding the puppet for when you're going first, at least.

[@ferdyoktav]

Actually Expulsion is good for Anti Evenly but yeah people just use it for lock

[@kacpikachu5951]

Interesting stuff here, and I'm definitely going to be using some of this myself. A note on Nadir: It's a lot better if you run the new Albion, since the new Albion can allow you to get more or less your entire combo on your opponent's turn. As an example line, Nadir > send Lulu, search Albaz > end phase Lulu summons Cartesia > opponent's main > Cartesia + Albaz into New Albion > effect to summon both back > Albaz + Cartesia into orange Albion > Albion effect into Mirrorjade.

[@RevzCards]

Yeah that’s a really nice line that I like with Nadir, getting 2 interruptions rather than just mirrorjade if you’re fusing with Opponent’s ED monster! It also provides the option to play something like Ntss as an out to floodgates like Grave depending on how people start teching vs Branded, so I’m excited to see how the deck evolves!

[@nicolasinfire9603]

new albion is also an out to evenly which is one of the if not the only out (if puppet gets banned) to our full board

Your videos are just fantastic, very precise and detailed. By any chance you have these combos written and explained? I love the videos and would love to read the combos in details it’s because I take awhile to absorb information

[@marcomeinhof5393]

Suggestion: Five-Rainbow magician in the side deck against superheavy samurai, you can dump off branded fusion, set something and make it live, also is a free discard or fusion fodder.

I was considering 1 in the side, but it meant resolving branded fusion already so I wasn't sure if it was win-more or not haha - Definitely worth playing around with!

[@Skybl4st29]

personally I think the choice to start with the combos was a great one! seeing what the deck can do first really sold me on playing branded.

[@FaboBabo96]

8:58 I would prefer to play first fusion deployment, then branded opening, to protect the aluber from effect veiler or imperm. But all in all AWESOME video Bro!!!

Opening in DP already plays around veiler, but yeah Imperm would hurt more than Droll there!

I really want to play this in Master Duel when the beastialsware released. I’ve found branded to be boring in MD since it feels very linear. The annoying thing is dragoon is banned and I love the keeper line. Cheers Revs!

[@tickledeggz]

Dragoon isnt 100% necessary it's just very powerful card the deck can make, going into mirrojade and setting up dragostapelia and/or the lines with cartesia is almost always stronger, but I'm not sure which cards get released in which order on MD.

[@MohammedAlmuzahmi]

Keeper line is useless cause instant fusion is banned in master duel

[@Pwnedunub4]

I have really been liking a bystial build of this deck, lubellion by itself can out bagooska or other problem monsters. You also get to set up an on field rindbrum a lot more as an additional form of interaction, and Etude being live also feels really good. The deck isn't solved by any means and exited to see where it goes!

[@StormEcho]

Last I checked Lubellion by itself does not out bagooska lol

[@imabanana2371]

damn i can’t believe i didnt think of the shadoll card as an out for floodgates thats smart i shouldve been using that

[@EazyYGO]

hey revz here is my two cents on this build after testing for a while myself with something similar the deck functions well as it usually does but this coming format with stuff like ogre and droll coming in hard it makes it so very difficult to resolve the entire combo going through keeper or ambulance since drooling keeper if you add instant literally ends the entire combo in such a ht heavy format I think you should consider steering towards the more normalized build (still with crossout IMO its better than nadir) testing this a ton against mirror and more stuff like mathmech and superheavy and kash this version of the deck just loses hard against the stuff that's going to be prevalent this format

[@tonik8799]

The wild one offs are so funny to look at. But this list seems like fire

[@RICKYROSZzzz]

Quem is nuts ..almost like she's made for the deck

[@vladimirpayano4575]

I just sold my lubellion to get quem and lulu so I have to go to the lab to modify the combos

[@gokublack7904]

Stupid question but I have to ask this: I was going first, used Albions Effect from grave to add Branded Opening to my hand and wanted to use it so I could SS Quem but it didnt work! It just added Branded Opening to my hand and then my turn immediately ended!

[@Dar2Jee]

yeah quem is awesome ... got insanely lucky during the sneak event at my local store and pulled her as a starlight xD dont care that i went 0-7 in that event but i also love that the card has lead to ppl exploring the deck again and is driving players away from this gimmick bs

@@RevzCards He is refering to a combo, where, after you get ashed, dump sprind with nadir and add Albaz. In End-Phase you can summon Kitt, which seaches branded in high, which you can activate in end to dump albaz from hand, albion from extra and add mercourier. Then albion triggers which sets branded in red and you can get to mirrorjade that way. It's a light improvement to other combo because, because of the mercourier in hand.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but in the first combo, because you’re summoning granguignol while under branded lost, would it not make sense to chain link 1 lost chain link 2 granguignol? Branded Lost says “also your opponent cannot activate cards or effects when a monster is fusion summoned this way”. Because you used Cartesia to fusion into granguignol, granguignols send a card to the grave effect should in theory be non ashable, right?

Bystials will be good in this deck only if you make the decision to run Etude of The Branded. Also, this is just my opinion but as long as Kashtira is in the Format I will continue with 3 Albaz.

Can you actually activate card effects during your draw phase right from the start of the match or is that only if you are the second to go? With opening and aluber activating during draw phase seems a bit too meta to be possible less you’re second to go. Is this really possible on being first to go? I never knew

He doesn't need to resolve to win you the game - if he eats the interruption & you don't have Deployment/Crossout, you're free to go Opening/Branfu and build your board.

i lost interest in branded since everything after the structure deck has been secret rare tbh

[@RNE1993]

This was super helpful, but Keeper is objectively not the best Branded starter. It’s a neg 1 over Aluber.

[@RevzCards]

Appreciated! In a vacuum, where you’re always losing to 1 interruption, sure the cost is objectively worse. Resolving the combo, you’re discard for Keeper is offset by the discard for Lubellion when making an Aluber play and the end board is wayy better than what you’d get from just Aluber With the rest of the deck in consideration, Keeper as the normal forces an interaction from the opponent and you have more cards in your deck that would then allow you to play through it. Example if you stop aluber, you can’t Opening for another aluber, but if you stop keeper, you can still opening for aluber Ofc it’s still just my opinion though haha

[@Gilgamesh-em6ru]

I don't really like the keeper lines. that adds hard bricks to the deck and it makes the deck space not have that much room for hand traps or going second cards and it doesn't play well going into a Purrely or kash board. I don't understand the santa claus in the side deck. I get it it's a Kaiju that gets summoned in def but that doesn't matter for branded they have a lot of ways to clear or beat over most kaijus and we don't need to give them a def monster since we can't make zeus plays.

[@ThisOneFootballGod]

You need something for purrely and at least you can tribute iblle with it and its light

[@RevzCards]

It replaces other engine starters and engine requirements, so unless you were cutting those cards already, it isn’t really making the deck less consistent 3x Keeper - Gold Sarc/Aluber/Kitt 2x Bricks - Saronir/Retribution 1x Instant - Branded in White(?) Claws is more applicable than Kaijus as it can tribute summon over Iblee, and tribute into a Spright’s Numen lock. Also tributes into a Gameciel board that Scareclaw was setting up

[@Gilgamesh-em6ru]

@@RevzCards I've never seen someone call Saronir a brick. it's a free discard at worst that dumps a card you may need in the GY or an actual hand trap against certain decks like mathmech. it makes the deck worse playing into a board esspecially when you draw the hard brick of cobra. a few cards in your extra deck lose way too much value when that happens. I've also never been a fan of branded in white. it needed way too much set up to use or part of an inconsistent combo. Instant fusion could still be in the deck for the sac of having it for millenium eyes, which by itself already stops ash without needing the normal and a discard to combo into a way to stop ashe that also requires a discard to stop it if it does happen. Claws could literally just be a Dark ruler for almost all those example and it would be better at breaking the board with the exception to Iblee which is not even that common in any deck currently. Bagooska is a better reason to play it over the other cards on that list.

[@RevzCards]

​@@Gilgamesh-em6ru It's a card that doesn't allow you to play going 1st unless you open very specific cards, so it's cuttable for the right replacement. Obviously it's better to open than Cobra, but the 1 in 10 games that you see it as a slightly more valuable card isn't as important (to me) as the ability to stop ash 70% of the time. Drawing Cobra only makes Ambulance & arguably Dragoon less valuable, but only if you draw it with exactly Keeper or Instant which is
