YU-GI-OH! - 1ST PLACE UNDEFEATED REGIONAL WINNER BRANDED CHIMERA ILLUSION DECK PROFILE (SAM HESS)

[@JamTheLad]

Absolutely fucking INCREDIBLE deck porfile for CB, genuinely the best I've seen. This should be the absolute staple for all CB deck profiles going forward, I cannot think of a single thing I would change for this! Good shit brother!!

[@ljaquos]

1:22 Honestly, drawing that fucker is exactly why I'm running Kitt right now. Put that big bastard back on the bottom! Do not wanna see him!

[@dallintuttle4535]

Andrew and I taught you well. The student now becomes the master. We are proud of you Sam!

[@samuelhess7072]

Thanks dad! ❤

[@gatuski4615]

Ppl called me crazy maining crossout Best card

[@samuelhess7072]

It's true. That card really overpreformed for me that day!

[@mattorostcg]

I absolutely love the deck, picked it up recently and it's such a breath of fresh air to play it after Branded. I'm not a fan of Evenly since Branded can 90% of the time go into Sanctifire with Red and put a body on your board in the BP so you can't use it, and other decks can just negate it, so I'm running DRNM instead of that but other than that our side looks pretty similar (2 thrust and 2 herald for me instead of the droll, nib and shifter, and 1 HFD instead of one cosmic for thrust mostly), love the profile!

[@FairlyAdequate35]

Sams been one of my best friends for years, hes such a nice humble dude and ive watched him progress and become better at the game over many many years and im so proud of him for this! He definantly deserves it!

[@samuelhess7072]

Thank you so much!!! You are great and if it weren't for you I would have never gotten as competitive in the game as I have! You were my inspiration with your Pure Gouki deck!

[@DerGremlin]

10:52 Why not Radian? It's a Fiend/Dark Kaiju. For me thats more usefull than the 2200 Atk from Gameciel.

[@imsippingmudlike4777]

Ulti

[@cambo006]

Only negative about radian is its a 7 for the Kash matchup. I agree though

[@pikadrew8217]

He was talking about adding it in. I’m the Purrely player he mentioned

[@samuelhess7072]

Yeah, I couldn't find them in time so Gameciel was what I had lol Radian is definitely better though.

[@michaelstephens4992]

Hell Santa is a 6 star fiend light and doesn't have the drawback of being a one summon limit like the other kaijus

[@ovanoizmusic1449]

Hi there what is the name of the superpoly target dragon fusion ? thanks

[@Rxslc]

i think its dragon knight equiste

[@matthewwroblewski8752]

Congrats! Why is Chimera experiencing an uptick in tops? What are its good MUs and which meta trends are going in its favor?

[@Rxslc]

One of the reasons is if you can stick your combo u amount so much advantage you can quickly out pace your opponent. Also the deck allows for lots of non engine.

[@johnx1878]

Do you need to pre register to play in a regionals or can you show up and register to play?

[@Rxslc]

not usually unless the tournament host has a player cap and they have pre registration available but usually you can register day of but you will deal with the huge line of people doing the same haa

[@elionijames598]

this version is so optimal im surprised this isnt the blueprint goes everyone goes to

[@hrg818]

them standard sleeves

[@tuavaresm]

That swirly branded fusion though. It’s 🔥

[@TheReal_InkwellGaming]

did you catch any else of the top 8 decks?

[@Rxslc]

Yes got more profiles coming this week. Had to leave after regionals so i only got this one day of but stay tuned.

[@Eric-qd6xi]

How do you activate talents after you searched it with thrust if they handtrap you?

[@Rxslc]

It’s usually when u go second u can search talents and use it. When u go first u set dimensional barrier.

[@StardustDragonmaid]

How does chimera fusion help dodge evenly?

[@Rxslc]

@@StardustDragonmaid if they go battle phase u can fuse off ur board have chimera in grave for follow up and u can make a variety of fusions that can interact after they resolve evenly .

[@Truth82189]

His balances of hand traps is perfect 🤣🙌🏻🙏🏼

[@gusbanks2440]

Bro cracked the code

[@BrandedBeastYGO]

Mad respect!

[@calledbythegrave9491]

Holy shit... I haven't gone to locals in a bit but to see this guy not playing dragon link and seeing he topped our regional is dope. Congrats man!

[@Rxslc]

Haha I remember when he played adimancipator

[@calledbythegrave9491]

@@Rxslc never faced him with adamancipator but his dragon link could last through a million negates I swear most of the time I'd just scoop

Lol I wanted to try something new but Dragon is still my baby!

[@calledbythegrave9491]

@@samuelhess7072 fuck yeah dude you're a good yugioh player. You have this vibe where we're friends and you're nice. But savage af at yugioh and overall that's your best mechanic

[@samuelhess7072]

@calledbythegrave9491 I wish I knew who you were lol I appreciate that! I try my best!

[@massimomonestier3897]

How did you managed to win with a deck that dies by mono interrupt?

[@samuelhess7072]

The deck is 23 non engine so it's pretty easy to bait on field interruptions, branded fusion baits ash and Crossout is for all handtraps.

[@cambo006]

Thoughts on the frightfur engine?

[@Rxslc]

I think he didnt need it since he played crossout so his combos were guaranteed if he drew cross or calledby. Also probably didnt wanto play into droll and lock bird as much.

[@samuelhess7072]

Yeah, it losses to droll and its kind of win more. You don't really need it I did test it and I liked it but wanted to play a more streamlined list for regionals. It's a good engine though for sure!

[@tsvetomirsheev3882]

Chad

[@bastilleday6783]

What do you think about fenrir ? I like it because if opp stops u its nice interuption

[@samuelhess7072]

I played Fenrir before and it was really good! I honestly kind of missed them and might put them back in. I just wanted to play more crossout targets!

[@smol_sv]

The strawberry milk card sleeves 😍

[@samuelhess7072]

Lmao They got me there!

[@gusbanks2440]

Chimera best tho!!!!!

[@nesto801]

Crazy ass deck 🔥

[@bmage8675]

Was this still a going first build?

[@Rxslc]

Yes I believe so. The advantage you get going first is too good not to.

[@deanoxd968]

You always go first in a deck that rips a card

[@samuelhess7072]

Going first all the way. Hand rip best deck!

[@jonahgernhuber444]

no frightfur engine nor alubers and openings, interesting! :)

[@Rxslc]

Too much droll my guess?

[@Degenerick]

Even in the frightfur engine build, people have cut aluber and opening.

[@samuelhess7072]

Yeah, the reasoning was Droll and you don't really need all that stuff. I did test it all though! It's all really good! I almost put Openings and Aluber in the night before but decided not to. It's good though!

[@julifer9211]

I dueled This deck with a budget dark magician deck I have the video will post it soon

[@itaital1000]

How magnum doge evenly?

[@drgreenthumb3012]

Maybe he goes into magnum at start of battle idk

[@Rxslc]

@@drgreenthumb3012 yeah so his cards go to grave and not banished and he will have an interrupt at worst with magnum.

[@drgreenthumb3012]

@@Rxslc in what Situations do u use lubellion and when albion?

[@Rxslc]

@@drgreenthumb3012 like when u wanto shuffle a bunch of stuff back with lubelion like ur albaz or like a guradian chimera in grave. Albion when u want more bodies or and u wanna do the otk with big chimera like u banish the king chimera and a bunch of illusions to otk. At worst either can make ur mirror jade.

[@samuelhess7072]

@drgreenthumb3012 It depends on what the boardstate is. You almost always go into Albion first because the only dark target in deck for Branded Fusion is Big Wing so it's hard to make Lube without going through Albion first. Lubelion is made only if you're not going to OTK and need to shuffle resources back and make a Mirrorjade so the second branded fusion you search with a shuffled back Albion can be used as followup to close out the game.
