I know this may sound a little bit silly, but I think Keeper of Dragon Magic, Dragoon, and the Predaplants are really decent right now. They just feel extremely clean into a lot of matchups because of the lack of omnis and the amount of branching lines it goes down can provide a neat level of flexibility, too. If you go for Dragoon, Dragostapelia plays around TY-PHON, and you have more fusion summons to make Dragostapelia with Bufolicula on your own turn. I've actually turned to playing 2 Dragostapelia, because card isn't even HOPT I personally have never run more than 2 Albaz because I think he just kind of sucks to draw, and I don't want to do it. And Deployment can get him if you run it, if you need it. Although, you of course want to be Deploying into Cartesia ideally most of the time. Another thing I've been messing around with is just playing more handtraps - like, 12 + spoly/droplet (I like Droplet for dodging interrupts and targeted things especially, making heavy use of the field send and poly because it's poly). I don't get why people haven't tried messing around with more handtraps, they simply make getting Ashed/Impermed/Whatevered on your plays so much more bearable because you can still make something most of the time. Big agree on Cyclone stocks
Can you make a combo video but with some of the tech cards like branded in white and high spirits and how to play with thrust after the ash and stuff like that Also is dragoon realy that bad rn? It feels fine especialy vs fire kings
Can u help me explain why some people like in tournaments use pot of extravagance in their branded decks like what if ur opponent banishes ur Mirrorjade and Albion, ext. what do u do then?
Extravagance is one of the last draw spells I would ever play in Branded, that sounds terrible Your extra deck is a toolbox of options and you need to adapt on the fly a lot. Randomly banishing extra deck means you might lose important options but also youd likely have to run 3 of all of the essential cards meaning your extra deck gets worse as a whole
Allure I like less if droll is in the format, and post Phantom Nightmare I think droll might be in more peoples' main decks. Branded ordinarily doesnt care about droll so I'd rather not create another problem for the deck so thats why I personally don't bother with those kind of cards. As for nadir servant, I think if you are playing the gimmick puppet nightmare then nadir servant + dogmatika maximus is one of the easiest ways to set that up and is definitely a good choice. I don't play the puppet because I think its really cringe and boring on top of it being an incredibly weak board if disrupted, so with that in mind I think nadir is worse than thrust and crossout as "response for ash" cards. It kinda comes down to how you want to build it but if you aren't playing puppet then I honestly think nadir is a bit overrated. Branded in high spirits I think a lot of people sleep on too because it performs a very similar function to nadir servant, is searchable in the Branded engine, and does not lock you out of the extra deck.
I feel like if you are playing nadir servant you really should just play it at 3. Nadir is infinitely better when going first vs going second so in most cases you wont be able to add nadir to hand off of thrust going first. High spirits fulfills a very similar role and is also searchable in engine too, keep that in mind
Been loving branded Despia lately. Im still torn between playing that and Branded Synchro, but man we need cheaper quems and dis paters out there
Personally i play Ty-phon in branded despia. Its insane as like a last resort thing, as well as going second. Overall i just love having that option
You might look into veiler over imperm. It being a light spellcaster and the ability to play it off the Chimera draw on the opponents turn is strong
They both have their pros and cons. Any deck where I play Regained I’m usually running veiler for this reason

Have you made despia decks in masterduel?
Can you make a combo video but with some of the tech cards like branded in white and high spirits and how to play with thrust after the ash and stuff like that
Also is dragoon realy that bad rn? It feels fine especialy vs fire kings
Playing dragoon isnt wrong, wanna make that clear. The only time I really miss him right now though is under shifter but thats a rough time regardless

@@YamiElut me too like I think ur better with pot of greed tbh haha
What are your thoughts on the nadir servant dogmatika engine for this deck and going above 40 with cards like allure?
Allure I like less if droll is in the format, and post Phantom Nightmare I think droll might be in more peoples' main decks. Branded ordinarily doesnt care about droll so I'd rather not create another problem for the deck so thats why I personally don't bother with those kind of cards.

any consideration for nadir servant?
What about 2 thrust and 2 nadirs
I feel like if you are playing nadir servant you really should just play it at 3. Nadir is infinitely better when going first vs going second so in most cases you wont be able to add nadir to hand off of thrust going first.
High spirits fulfills a very similar role and is also searchable in engine too, keep that in mind
why no kitt ?
dont think its necessary at all + i have enough 1-ofs already
@YamiElut oh gotchu I play master duel and ur deck is Hella consistent on there u should try it I would love to see that
@@Emman_Silva oh yeah in master duel i would 100% play kitt with all the restrictions on branded lol that makes sense, but in tcg its def not needed
No no you should absolutely bully gimmick puppet users
Just waiting for it to get banned then people will actually have to learn how to play the deck🗿
