How To Win With ONLY $30 In Yu-Gi-Oh! (Budget Branded Albaz Strike Fusion Deck Profile 2022)

[@kair53]

I know this comment will probably never be seen, but this is by far one of my favorite videos from you. All the yelling and screaming and over the top stuff in most of your recent videos is just too much for me and most of my friends. This more chill, relaxed video is exactly what I was hoping to get from you. You’re an amazing player, and give amazing tips and combos etc. I hope to see more relaxed videos in the future.

[@619ver1]

same here, its why i generally stay away from team samurai videos. Also him hyping warrock left a bad taste in my mouth but really liked this video.

[@Rrod810]

Thank you…

[@ReezyFresh]

@@619ver1 war rock is nice when played right with good support. Ive beat eldlich, numeron, drytron, nd other meta decks with them.

[@619ver1]

@@ReezyFresh I...honestly have no clue why, besides them them bricking. Not means i do not believe you but putting it frankly, warrock is a pure beat down deck. So unless the support if using two warrocks to go into verte for Dragoon or dpe, not seeing WR win against Drytron.

[@Mizuki-Pendragon]

I got one of these decks I tried fighting people in the tournament and I came in fifth place then at the end of the tournament the third-place bought me the two extra Decks that I need it and some sleeves what a nice person he was and that was today

It's my birthday today, and my wife fully supported the hobby I've recently started, and that she doesn't get, by getting me three of this structure deck. I've built it exactly as you suggest in this video. Looking forward to playing it.

[@mohammedsaleh8447]

Love the way you broke down combos and how the deck works for this build! Love all the deck profiles and content Sam!

[@bryanroufosse3016]

Your 3 times structure deck videos helped me get back into yugioh hard core. Love them 😀😃

[@triple_gem_shining]

Right I'ma try to convince a friend to play 3x structure deck meta 😂

[@oberon5038]

I usually discard the trap that let's you select 1 fusion and destroy monsters with higher or equal attack to it to use Albaz's effect to fusion, use something from their board and set that trap cause if you discard it using his effect you can set it so you can end up with a destroy/fusion in a nice comfortable spot without using any hand traps

[@Cthulhu-jz6yg]

Could actually get back into it if the decks I wanted to play were that cheap

[@chimnenglo]

A lot of great reprints in this deck. Which makes it worth getting

[@GladBeastBoy]

@@chimnenglo No joke. I saved the cards reveal for when I bought it and holy smokes I was freaking out with these insane reprints. It's almost a crime NOT to pick this up

[@323chesco]

You came In clutch man I just bought three copies of the deck this is my first playing tcg man I’m trying to learn all I can thanks love the channel 🤘🏽

[@newbiesama]

This deck really is insane. I was using a version of this against a friend...he had 4 3K beaters on the field, just cleared them easily. And in the next one, I got 3 branded fusion in my hand from only card effects. PLUS with ghost from the past S2 comming up......despia's!

[@timothyzeiler2902]

didd you use this deckles?

[@SmolMoonCat]

As someone just getting into paper Yu-Gi-Oh, thank you so much for this video!

[@brianbest6885]

This is an awesome build and I actually have built it. I've traded out my 3 keeper of dragon magic for aluber and added united we stand to make it a 42 card deck. Debating on weather or not I should add guardian Chimera but anyway I would love to see more combos big or small that I can utilize with this build. Awesome videos man and Gratz in pulling that ghost rare dark magician!

[@skotiaH2O]

Definitely add Guardian Chimera, also why United we Stand?

[@senchousgarage]

That's dope, I have been wanting to get back into the tcg and I think this will be my starting point

[@Sillimant_]

I've much preferred RevzCard's take on using just the three decks, summoner monk is just yet another discard outlet and there are already a lot in the deck

[@mixedbylmg]

I run this deck. I'd say the starter card is really Albaz himself. Branded fusion is fire, but you can only run 1 certain formats, plus if your opponent has ash blossom you just wasted your spell. I usually focus on using ecclesia to get albaz on the field. 9/10 in today's meta, oppoonent is gonna link or xyz summon, which you just Ecclesia effect to bring Albaz, then mirror jade, then mirror jade's effect to neutralize possible counter and you win. Branded fusion gambles to much for me. I like it, but it has definitely failed me before. you can also use Quem with bystial and branded in red to start a ridicoulous chain with bystials if you draw lubellion PS. Great video, these are my favorite cards and I love seeing people talk about em.

[@tcgmike8989]

Finally! Been waiting for Sam to drop a $30 budget of the deck. I notice that you didn’t add 1 copy of Artifact Scythe to send to the graveyard with Branded Fusion and then play Back to the Front on your opponent’s turn to lock them out of their Extra deck. Lucky I got my 3 at my Walmart as soon as they got them. They were all gone by the next day. Great deck build Sam! Love this deck! I miss Cimooooo reviewing and $30 deck building. Also I noticed this Deck doesn’t come with a QR code and advertising booster set QR code. I saw some ones deck opening and he had one in his.

[@gavrilopetkovic7054]

the scythe strat isn't good in this variante of the deck. way too incosistent

[@tcgmike8989]

@@gavrilopetkovic7054 true. It’s really good on getting your fusion summonings.

[@619ver1]

I like the idea but can be to bricky, in most cases running a single of the dimension barrier is usually as effective and needs less cards.

[@ChaseCha1]

Got my brother to learn Yu-Gi-Oh! with me thanks to your Red Eyes Master Duel video. Bought us each 3 of this deck and watching this video to learn the game/deckbuilding. Thanks bruh

[@jaythephoenix]

Helpful! Building as a long term goal on MD and I was struggling for lights! Glad hand traps exist (besides Maxx C)

[@Earthgrand234]

I really love this deck! I personally use it now, since it's just a really fun deck to use! The only thing I added was an Artifact Scythe and a Back to the Front for another play in locking the opponent out of there extra deck, making it a 43 card deck for me.

[@ayuzsh]

My Strategy is to Use Keeper of the Dragon Magic and Kit to search Branded Fusion 2x 1 from the deck and 1 from the graveyard then I fusion Summon The searing Dragon, then The Ash Dragon, Then I get out my Branded Dragon then Mirror Jade

[@riccardorossetto9590]

Amazing video as always! I purchased this deck and to make it better I added the invoked package, in order to play it a bit more control oriented, due to the powerful traps like tcboo and dimensional barrier

[@dragonic5166]

thank you so much for the in depth tips and strategies for this deck! i am getting back into yu gi oh after a couple months where i got into pokemon and magic, and i need a strong deck that is easy to play, and this sounds like it! again, thank you so much, and keep up the good work!👍

Man I JUST copped 3 of these last night. Talk about good timing in the video release!

[@MattyMakez]

I would love to see an upgrade guide for this deck!

[@jakesmith8982]

This is perfect. I just bought 3 a last week. I just wish you went over the card to search for to add to improve it at the end. I have some cards like Despia, Theater of the Branded, Branded loss, Branded banishment, Starving venom, Number 97, a bunch of staples(MST, Last will, Backup team...) and a couple link monsters.

[@ioannisgorezis2163]

I like to play 3x Branded Lost to protect my plays against Ash Blossom as often as possible, plus it gives me a search. Im running 3x Albion the Shrouded which I either use as an Upstart Goblin to get an extra card, as an extender/extra beater (I play a going second variant) or I use in conjunction with Branded Retribution (which I play 3 of and is my go to discard) to recover/search Branded Spells from the Deck/GY. I have also replaced the handtraps with 6 Kaijus and I play 3x Dark Ruler

I have a friend who wants to get back into yugioh and this would be a great budget structure deck for him. Thanks for the tutorial and profile. He's going to like this!

[@tot.musica]

Is he getting back into it competitively or just to mess around with friends? If it's just with friends, yeah this 3 SD build is fine. If he's trying to compete in stuff like locals, he's going to get stomped without extra support. I recommend Shaddolls for budget. They're really cheap and make this build a lot stronger.

[@chimnenglo]

@@tot.musica he is just getting back into it to mess around. Of course I told him that as well. It's always fun to mess around with these budget SD. That's how I got back in.

[@R4yymo]

@@tot.musica I bought this deck to play competitively, you think I can add anything without going over $40?

[@tot.musica]

@@R4yymo As long as you bought 3 of the Albaz SD's already, you can grab a nice Shaddoll package for around that much. Your most expensive cards will be Shaddoll Fusion and Winda, but otherwise they're cheap. They work amazing with Albaz because of the heavy fusion reliance. So definitely start there. Once you get a bit more cash, add in Invoked and Dogmatika. Sadly Aleister's are 9ish a piece as are Ecclesia's, but once you get enough, the branded/invoked/dogmatika/shaddoll deck is actually insanely good. I crap on the Despia decks which are much more expensive every time.

I suggest playing 3 Branded Lost. if you’re searching Branded Fusion that much, it’s pretty much always good to have that extender in your hand as well

would only suggest 2, its a brick if you do not get into your fusions.

[@wildcard126]

what are the overall thoughts on budget decks in the competitive scene? Could I feasibly go to a local and win against a top tier deck with a deck like this? why then dont more pros and higher level players play budget decks? is it a matter of consistency?

[@ruaras6198]

I'm not massive into the competitive scene but a budget deck usually doesn't have access to the same expensive staple cards as a competitive player. Also a lot of top decks are very expensive, and more "rouge" decks like these just don't have the same power levels. You could win a more relaxed, rouge locals but it would be difficult against a top tier deck.

[@thestormtrooperwhocanaim496]

Yeah you’ll do fine in locals but regionals and ycs irl be hard. However most of the staples that pros play can be used in multiple decks 70% of the time. So you can slowly upgrade this deck and have a great win rate

[@moreirasamy69]

The deck profile is 39 cards. You can count them so you need to add something else
