tbf, most people only started playing 60C a year or so ago, and grass lines are always difficult to optimize. but these things come with trial and error mostly, and understanding a few basic combo principles when it comes to the deck.
@@alexandreagostinho9073 lmao fair best thing i did was have branded lost a mercourier,mirror jade banishment and branded in red setup and I proceeded to throw the game😂
PSA Starsource ability to pop is only up to the number of light and dark monsters used that YOU control. If you superpoly it there’s no effect. Don’t know why it’s not worded correctly.
dragostapelia negates as a continous effect. just because it puts a counter before getting negated, doesnt mean it will actually negate anything after it is negated by aluber.
Khaos Starsource Dragon?! I also ran some tests and it *is* a better Furious on the turn it's summoned only, but extra deck space is so tight, especially when I run Nadir in a 40c variant... although it's another target for LaDD... Hmmm, ty for this idea and video Branded Queen P. S.: Even without Dragoon or Tearlaments I still like running Hex to dodge Called By, as it can double as either Albaz or Ecclesia, so your Branded Albion play won't die.
I really need to stop being scared of wasting or using up resources, I play every duel like I'm expecting it to reach turn 60. that's my biggest weakness probably.
I really appreciate this videos, it teaches how to play Branded + it gives hope that one can actually give a fight to those decks who always setup like 10 stuffs that negate you or very scary monsters (I'm transitioning from Dark Magician to Branded and I really like how Branded let's you do many stuff as long as you're creative with it)
Hello April new subscriber here 🥳, am kinda new to branded so just wanted to say thanks for the in depth guide in the last video and I love the amazing replays❤ keep up the good work
Your videos ALONE made me disenchant every single branded card i owned, as a Mathmech player i do NOT have a chance to learn this deck, your video rock tho! Love watching them and love the awesome touhou music, very good content
Hey April, love your videos! What are your thoughts on Astellar as a one of in Branded to special Cartesia/Quem from deck? I've been trying it out and when I do get to use it, it does make my end board stronger, but in a way it also feels a bit like a win-more card.
I'm still learning Branded and your videos help me to understand the deck better especially when it comes to the summon order. I currently struggle to summon Light & Darkness Dragon at the correct time without getting screwed over by it. The extra deck is really tight with Branded because there are so many good option, since i encountered so many Yubel players i started to play Mysterion the Dragon Crown because he is pretty good against but maybe i have to deck him out.
Nice video. Curious. Why does everyone put Ladd into attack mode I don’t see any advantage of putting a monster who’s going to lose attack into attack position on the turn you can’t attack. Only for someone to possibly OTK over the top of it. Or in general just lose life points. Explain ?
Obviously replays are GOATed. In terms of Fuwalos, I do not know how much I like the card. The high spirits interaction is very rare tbh and I think I would rather play cards that help both going first or second. Nibiru is insane in Branded but we live in a Tenpai format.
Aww I'm a bit sad to see Sanctifire go, it's my favorite Branded card cause it offers a way to play into Maxx C and has some pretty interesting lines (not locking the opponent, was never a fan of that). But I also totally get the reasoning. Do you think the 60 card version is just overall the strongest or are you gonna experiment a bit with lower deck sizes as well?
i think u need 60. grass from thrust going 2nd is important for a lot of games. and if u try to cut the deck to be smaller, you'll find it ends up pretty big no matter what
we added albaz instead. to fuse with the cartesia. it was better to do this because i needed a spare zone to summon albion to for ladd in the opponents standbyphase.
Thanks for the video! A bit of feedback though - your voice is a little too low. Please increase the volume of your voice, or reduce the volume of the background music so we can hear you better :)
Learned so many new ways to play my favorite deck. A question, though. I'm running 2x Tearlaments Scheiren in my Branded deck. Is that good? Or should I be running something else instead?
What I try to do against the voiceless is to get rid of the Lo not the boss, without it their boss can't negate and lose attack points The boss monster their have many way to get back but Lo I think they can only summon it once from it's effect and once from normal summon
complicated rulings. ladd will chain to anything if a legal activation earlier in the chain it could normally respond to was used. it wont negate unless its chaining directly to the effect, but it still triggers weirdly like this.
Man after seeing the first combo I realised I have way too much to learn with this deck I’ve been playing for 2 years
Man i just started playing that deck this week and most of the time idk what i sm doing

@@Blazeeeeeeeeeme too, i learned one basic line for ladd and my favorite: "shit i dont know what to do, branded fusion>Jade"
@@alexandreagostinho9073 lmao fair best thing i did was have branded lost a mercourier,mirror jade banishment and branded in red setup and I proceeded to throw the game😂
Watch her guide is very useful if you wanna learn the deck in depth
The first combo is insane
Your ability to find a line is so insane; i feel like ive been in these situations before but i didnt find the line out

Why was furious dragon not negated by dragostapelia in the first duel? 1:55
Aluber negated dragostapelia
dragostapelia negates as a continous effect. just because it puts a counter before getting negated, doesnt mean it will actually negate anything after it is negated by aluber.
THE Branded player tbh. Love the replays and that long video essay

Branded is goated, got me to Master 1 this season 🎉 also they always have the called by 6:23
It’s always calling Mirrorjade
I really need to stop being scared of wasting or using up resources, I play every duel like I'm expecting it to reach turn 60. that's my biggest weakness probably.
The Tohou music just fits so well
10:10
Literally _every_ single time I’ve had a hand like this, my opponent had Ash in hand.

That first combo was absurd. I have so much to learn but I’ll get there!
I’ve been waiting for these saucy replays showing of the lord and savior LAD😂🙏
The new card looks very cool (Kaos), can't wait to try it out now :D

This is why I like branded, I keep learning new lines that I never thought of.
11:40 this is the worse part of light and darkness dragon, it chain block everything after 3 negates.
Great video and amazing combos and Ggs. That misplay with your Ladd into your quem was unfortunate, if you remember.
Was a fun mirror anyway. Peace.
Fantastic games , a true master of the deck.
Your MJ keeps getting called by it’s so annoying lmaooo
i love your duels april. best branded player!
Finally, touhou music at 7.10
Hey April, love your videos! What are your thoughts on Astellar as a one of in Branded to special Cartesia/Quem from deck? I've been trying it out and when I do get to use it, it does make my end board stronger, but in a way it also feels a bit like a win-more card.
i dont think it has a place. sending it with brafu instead of lubellion means ur giving up on ladd most likely.
I'm still learning Branded and your videos help me to understand the deck better especially when it comes to the summon order. I currently struggle to summon Light & Darkness Dragon at the correct time without getting screwed over by it.

This is not the same branded I play. Our deck might be the same but damn I got a lot to learn. What the hell was that first combo.
please do more of these vids i learn from you better than any other youtuber
Nice video.
Curious. Why does everyone put Ladd into attack mode
I don’t see any advantage of putting a monster who’s going to lose attack into attack position on the turn you can’t attack.
Only for someone to possibly OTK over the top of it. Or in general just lose life points.
Explain ?
it should probably be in defense yeh.
Personally I do it incase they chain Imperm cause it resets to 3400 ATK and they can't punch over it that easily.
@ good to know. I respect the logic in that.
I would love to see your take on a 40 card Branded build.
30 minute videos work really well
It would be cool if you added chapters for your videos (e.g. new main combo, VS Spright, Explanations, etc.)
Also based Touhou soundtracks, keep it up
more rated gameplay 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Uhm April, why didn't we summon quem in EP with klad in the first replay? Were we tight of zones?
we added albaz instead. to fuse with the cartesia. it was better to do this because i needed a spare zone to summon albion to for ladd in the opponents standbyphase.
@AprilShowerz thx. It's always relieving to hear a branded tip.
Thanks for the video! A bit of feedback though - your voice is a little too low. Please increase the volume of your voice, or reduce the volume of the background music so we can hear you better :)
okay
CRAZY FIRST GAME
Learned so many new ways to play my favorite deck. A question, though. I'm running 2x Tearlaments Scheiren in my Branded deck. Is that good? Or should I be running something else instead?
its not great tbh. u dont need power in branded, u need non engine space and ability to beat handtraps.
@AprilShowerz Ah, I see. Thanks for the tip.
do you think the new card make the deck better? or you prefer old build?
better
My mind can't really comprehend this deck yet but it looks really interesting I might gotta build it (Rip my F2P account 😂)
5:32 I know you told us to ignore the hex, but how did bro get in there?
testing dragoon lmao
@AprilShowerz ahhh fair enough
Waiting patiently for the day duality dragoon debuts your deck so I can see the plays.
What's up April? Are u going to try Branded white forest?
interesting idea
Love your videos ❤
hey April where you from?
What I try to do against the voiceless is to get rid of the Lo not the boss, without it their boss can't negate and lose attack points
The boss monster their have many way to get back but Lo I think they can only summon it once from it's effect and once from normal summon
Amazing
We need a 20 card ED because I miss tax dragon tbh
April goated ❤
Finally touhou at 7.10
she is her!!!
Touhou GFW theme ❤❤❤
How come ladd activated at 11:00 ? It shouldn't be able to chain to a spell effect, and it's not even like poplar was negated
Great plays though!
complicated rulings. ladd will chain to anything if a legal activation earlier in the chain it could normally respond to was used. it wont negate unless its chaining directly to the effect, but it still triggers weirdly like this.
@@AprilShowerz Feels bad/strange it loses its attack without negating, but thank you for the explanation
When youre not participate on any tournaments can you upload at least once a week some branded gameplay? or upload your stream vods is fine too 🙏🥺
I see april i click im a simpel enby
thankyou simple enby
I love your vids ❤
April hyyyype!
Finally touhou at 7.10
