The REAL Best Deck? Yu-Gi-Oh! Branded Despia Deck Profile | March 2023

[@AuroraYGO]

Are you gonna be playing this deck?

[@FakeH3RØ]

I'm in the process of rebuilding my branded despia deck

[@brockfg]

Yes, I am building your list. I am a noob(returning after 10 years) who found your channel. Would love to see you play the deck or do some example starting hands

[@superstormy2510]

Too expensive for me, but a build of it, yes.

[@asuraphreak]

I'll check this out.

[@mageside]

I love duelists who put effort into their videos, this video looks like it delves into all that, keep it up, you have a subscriber right here!

[@BobBobBob445]

I’m enjoying Instant Fusion atm to summon Millennium Eyes Restrict. It’s essentially another form of protection against ash, but you can also use it as fusion material for mirrorjade, dragostapelia or dusk dragon as part of your combo and you’ve already played Branded Fusion by then so ash is less scary. You can also protect him from being destroyed by Instant Fusions end phase effect with Opening for interruption on your opponents turn. He also helps breaks boards as he negates and steals monsters! Crazy card.

[@ducky36F]

I recently saw a deck running Dramaturge, and they bought up some things I hadn’t thought about, and that’s that having Dramaturge in deck turns opening into a disruption, it’s a better discard than the traps (other than retribution) if you draw it and if you fuse it with Cartesia you actually get a decent board just out of that. Haven’t tried it myself yet but going to. Also agree Nib and Dragoon are insane.

[@AuroraYGO]

I tried Draumaturge until I swapped for Ad Lib since it didn't do much and I got bullied for it LMAO I think post CYAC Quem is just better anyway tbh

[@ducky36F]

@@AuroraYGO yeah once we get Quem she’s better for sure.

[@Dooms_Day_King]

I was legit thinking about Jinzo yesterday!! Also as a DM player, we use secret village and know branded plays dragoon and Cartesia so we could literally prevent opponents from playing anything

[@ducky36F]

Running DM and Jinzo also makes the boomer in me happy 😂

[@JoKrBamF]

I played someone on master duel like a week ago running a branded despia shaddoll and summoned out quintet magician on me. Ever since then I’ve been trying to find a way to do it myself. It was during the duel event so I can’t go back to see their deck list.

[@takuya6194]

I basically run the same build but i sprinkled a bit of the buster blader engine in there instead of using dragoon. It's just another path I can use if my combo doesnt go all the way, and it shuts off my opponents monster effects. Also running 3 santa claws instead of nib in case i lose the die roll, so that i can just kaiju their board and its not once per turn so its just a better kaiju.

[@GhostofCerberus]

whats a good replacement for designators, since i dont have em, also whats a good replacement for the bystials, i got saronir, but i cant afford lubellion.

[@AuroraYGO]

Over Crossout you can play things lile Branded in White or Theatre, or honestly Book of Eclipse in the main is good too. Unfortunately there's no real replacement for Lubellion in terms of the combos but you could always play a second Saronir.

[@flickerygems7779]

You can honestly cut lubellion and just play saronir, lubellion never comes up for me

[@goldenphoenix5945]

@@flickerygems7779 I enjoy using Branded Fusion into Lubellion into Dragoon with DM and Albaz as fusion materials. That way your Dragoon can pop a monster every turn due to DM. Also Lubellion can send himself back to extra along with DM so you can rinse and repeat if needed and only need 1 DM in your deck. (Albion also good just can't use DM as material so no pop, depends).

[@brockfg]

how do you fusion Aqua Neos if you only have the Aqua Dolphin. not seeing hero neos in your list

[@AuroraYGO]

You don't make it. You Deployment the Dolphin out.

[@brockfg]

@@AuroraYGO Thanks my king

[@louisssss8214]

I play 1 bystial lube , 2 saronir , 2 magnamhut do u think is good?

[@AuroraYGO]

It's up to your local scene!

[@callmezati]

Nice profile

[@garciansmith1460]

How is the Aqua Neos ever getting summoned when you aren’t running Neos himself? Aqua Neos says it must first be special summoned by shuffling neos and Aqua dolphin you control into the Deck?

[@AuroraYGO]

You're not summoning the Aqua Neos. You're using it to reveal off of Fusion Deployment and summon the Aqua Dolphin from deck!

[@vgmaster02]

@@AuroraYGO Why not run Storm Neos instead? Still uses Aqua Dolphin as material, but also lists Air Hummingbird as material, so you can make them shit themselves thinking you also side Air Hummingbird to win in time by gaining mass LP XD

[@AuroraYGO]

I don't have a need for it tbh

[@vgmaster02]

@@AuroraYGO But the mind games. You reveal Storm Neos and now the opponent is gonna constantly worry thinking "Oh, f***, he's gonna side in the bird to cheese a win in time." Any chance you get to screw with your opponent mentally, you take that and run with it XD Also, is two Dragoon really necessary? Or is it only at two purely because of Kashtira? (which, btw, can Mind Hacker just get banned already?)

[@AuroraYGO]

Purely due to Kashtira, though I have summoned two at once a few times lmao

[@darklaw7635]

Maining board breakers is better than running ash and nibiru

[@themerchant9711]

I'm just tired of how no matter what this deck is still so goddamn expensive

[@AuroraYGO]

Other than Lubellion and Cartesia it's pretty cheap though?

[@NTG360]

@@AuroraYGO And those are the only 2 cards I need to complete my Branded Despia Dragoon deck...hoping for a reprint in the megatins

[@Dooms_Day_King]

I spent $300 on half of this deck and I would say another $300 on the other half (which I already had running a DM/branded deck)

[@AuroraYGO]

I'm sorry you got ripped off so bad 😭

[@themerchant9711]

@@AuroraYGO it just seems like every iteration there are 2-5 really expensive but necessary cards. In 2022 swordsoul it was quarteris, masquerade, chimera. In tearlaments it was the bystials (and chimera). Now it's 1-2 lubellion, 1-2 Cartesian, and dragoon just went from 20 to like 30 overnight. Plus a lot of the other fusions are still 5-10 bucks which starts adding up quick for some people

[@jakesharrocks3803]

i dont even like this deck why am i here, nice list tho
