You opened my eyes with grass in branded. I’ve been play testing a 60 card branded deck this week and any time I resolved grass it never significantly changed my game state. I realized that you activate grass and pray to hit only a handful of specific cards vs other decks where every mill is valuable. So why even try to resolve grass when you can cut all the BS and just draw exactly what you need every time. Will definitely be play testing a smaller branded deck
I tried the build with 2 adjustments after the recent banlist. Ended up cutting branded in white for the 2nd opening. I decided to run chinera over sp little knight on diamond 5 due to the amount of backrow heavy decks I was playing into. Once I reached the higher tiers I stopped running chimera altogether due to not getting any value from it.
I think he just doesn't have the 2nd sarc right now tbh so is running the 1 foolish 1 sarc. 2 sarc is better for sure since it can search more stuff anyways
Your deck is more my style, i don't like max c nor ashes in branded. Im playing yugioh for less than a month but i enjoy branded. Tried yubel in new account, way to easy and unfun play. Not a fun of current metas. Grass also think doesn't worth on branded. Friend adviced me do 3 super polys, not best value in deck overall. Also advised chimera to deal with spells, don't really use. Unlucky on pulls here, open so many cartesia and branded lost packs, just never pulls. I shall craft both in end, need focus other cards not available in secrets and selections packs tho. Great video.
I tried out a grass branded...... I activated it and..... I surrendered and deleted the deck. What the hell are people thinking with a 60 card branded deck. My 40-45 card branded deck will never brick and I will win most of the time.
can you explain why we only myself runs 3 kit? it's super good starter, extender, all in 1 card and also good to have more for rindbrum fusion , i have more questions too
Branded is such a fun deck but I just can’t bring myself to do the Albion+Floodgate plays 😕 Wish they’d ban Albion and/or the targets so that we could have the core strategy’s consistency back
As long as tenpai is this dominant i don't think you have to feel that bad for floodgating them because the format is just so uninteractive. When the top players actually start cutting maxx c in their decks you know that hell broke loose and you should just do whatever you can to survive.
@@arrowofkira5658 man shouldn’t we be preserving the health of the game long-term though instead of putting short-term wins above all else 😭 If anything I’d rather have a month where Tenpai has a stupidly high win-rate since maybe that would make Konami actually hit it earlier than they would if it’s win-rate is closer to a “normal” meta deck
@@Elshi3400 I’d be cool with banning all the floodgates and in fact I’d love that; problem is though that eventually they will create more monsters that have some kind of self-floodgate while on field that fits in-archetype to balance new decks, and as soon as they do we’re back to square one unless the card(s) specifically say “cannot be summoned from the GY”
Obviously this beats tenpai and branded in general has an ok matchup against FKSK but isn't yubel an autolose matchup, especially going second? (Tear is also a coin flip matchup).
You don't need either of those if the opponent lets you go first and you can't draw into relevant handtraps. They either win or lose the game on turn 2 so card advantage doesn't matter. Only in the non-tenpai matchups maxx c would be nice but as he said you just rely on your branded engine to carry.
It sounds mental, but the logic is there. Maxx C if Tenpai is the dominant deck only really helps you if you're a hand trap deck, and Branded has too much engine requirement to go hard on hand traps. If you picked apart this list really hard you could fit maybe 10-12, and that's not gonna cut it. And again, if Tenpai is dominant, many board breakers are bricks that don't do anything. Branded could play Droplets, but the Tenpai field spell checks it anyways, they won't care if they have a strong hand. Regardless, this mostly applies to high level play, however you build Branded on the normal ladder is probably fine.
Maxx c isnt even needed much. 90% of that time, that shits being negated and top players know how to play around it. So it's better to play cards that give some consistency, example the 3 solemn judgements in that one guys deck.
Chat, did i skip over the gameplay?
i just wanted more of a theoretical discussion and focus over the gameplay on my twitch channel
Brother I want to see gameplay. I like watching you play with your deck (pause that is a crazy ahh sentence lol)

Would love to see a revamped tcg version of brande synchro nesh.
pak has a profile on his channel
Great content. i couldn't stop laughing when you brought of grass. i like list
Any reason for not playing 1 Foolish 2 Sarc? With those severe banlist on Branded I would expect Branded players to max out the consistency
I think he just doesn't have the 2nd sarc right now tbh so is running the 1 foolish 1 sarc. 2 sarc is better for sure since it can search more stuff anyways
didn't have the second sarc at that time
Any link to the sheet he showed at 2:30?
Can you upload a gameplay video with this deck? Would like to see how to play this version of branded
brother n3sh please upload gameplay. I recently started playing branded and seeing you use your list would help a lot.
on my twitch i'm playing it

Not having Nappa with Baldrake is blasphemy.
Will you use this deck in your next Twitch stream?
Is combo sheet able to purchase?

is that branded spreadsheet public?
I really wish
I think it is
@@arrowofkira5658 but where?
@@arrowofkira5658 would love to know too. i think its probably only for his personal use or paid meatfy subs
It's not public
No gameplay highlights 😢 ?
okay but grass in 60 card branded tearlaments 👀
Bro cooked!
What was the guu for tcg or where can I find the VOD
Brother where is the gameplay? Do you play on stream??
can you explain why we only myself runs 3 kit? it's super good starter, extender, all in 1 card and also good to have more for rindbrum fusion , i have more questions too
can you explain if running 3 branded lost is super good for going second
can you make a video about savage dragon and why it's mandatory?
can you explain why not 3 quemm? its a good branded fusion of milling, and why not 2x retribution ?
basically you don't want to see more than 1 kitt in hand, also it's the worst normal summon since you go -1 after shuffling a card back
I think you should try out grass a bit more
you are funny 😆 congrats on number 1 🎉
Branded Lets FGoooo!

@@jhoneism i'm fairly certain they'll hit tenpai rather hard and i agree it would be better if the game has less floodgates.
sanctifire is one of the best cards in the ED regardless if you puppet lock or not, why the fuck would you ban it instead of the floodgates?

Drop that spreadsheet
yo n3sh can you explain how to beat sp little knight with rindbrum ?
If rindbrums on field you bait out the sp effect then negate it with rindbrum
Obviously this beats tenpai and branded in general has an ok matchup against FKSK but isn't yubel an autolose matchup, especially going second?
(Tear is also a coin flip matchup).
i think it pushes very well into yubel going second if they don't draw maxx
How much do you pay an editor asking for science 😊
WTF no max c no board breakers

Tenpai forced/leaded to some very weird choices, also the worlds players and top 10 (most of it) isn't playing maxx c and solemn in main.

Ma sei italiano xd?
