That was Yugioh at its best lol. For 2 weeks now we’ve seen what duels are like when Branded is the best deck. All the more reason Puppet can be banned (and others like it). In no world do you trade these high level duels so some freaks can play Puppet, Idol, or Ra. #ProtectSantifire
@@dragonchang4979 Seeing how you were crying last week over Mannadium and Branded, I’m gonna counteroffer because you have no power; I keep Branded and you can keep crying about it. That seems like a fair option that works for both of us yeah?
Great example of why Branded is allowed to be the “best” deck by Konami. There’s never going to be a perfectly balanced meta, but if the best deck is one that allows these types of duels instead of say… Runick stun? Konami can live with that. When Branded is the best deck, it’s always going to be a diverse meta
@@trulyinfamous16fusion has always been the oldest type of extra deck monster. The fact that branded can incorporate so many different tech and strategies into it is the reason why its so diverse and can still function dynamically with branded fusion at 1. Branded fusion at 1 only makes people getting creative with the way they play branded and i absolutely love it
Really appreciate you guys always hosting these tournaments. Even more than the weekly entertainment, these serve as a really cool look back throughout the different metas of Master Duel. It’s like a digital time capsule. Keep up the great work!
That ruling on how Daruma fizzled out at 2:38 is likely why some players don't even bother to read the opponent's cards anymore lol. It makes sense, it's just understandably confusing from a newcomer's perspective.
Some insane plays by the branded pilot that went underappreciated here - I really don’t think anyone sane can knock them for *checks notes* playing too heavily into Weighbridge? Shrouded Albion sending Retribution for cost then being pitched as CL2 with BIHS, Quem sending Quem to turn Banishment online, using Branded Lost early to grab a Mercourier for a potential Ash, using Branded Lost late to enable multiple unrespondable pops in the same chain. Crazy how people to this day call the deck “Braindead” with the skill expression on display here.
Solemn Strike can play through Barkion, it's a COUNTER Trap, you need EXACTLY a Counter Trap to chain to those. The problem Lab had that first game is they opened too many monsters with access to just ONE other trap, and would have been pulverized regardless.
I love when he got all serious for a second to say "don't say bad words about a player, criticize the plays not the player." That is such a great policy to have with your chat. I respect it a lot. Keep it up man. Your channel is awesome
@@nattapakniranittikulSounds like you don't read the card because that's exactly what happened with me not knowing there's a "then" in the text because I don't waste 3 seconds of my life reading the damn card unless something is wrong.
abohmod is real anime protagonist lol he start summoning furious and play beast to deal with the backrow on r2 after lose on r1 also abohmod make Dkayed become weighbridge believer that was hilarious
I will never understand why the 2 naturia monsters are legal they're infinite negates essentially floods too idk how that's not the most broken thing in existence
Every deck has its weakness. When you ingore floodgates. Naturia loses against beatstick monsters easily. Vanquish Soul, Kashtira, Trains, SHS...... But excell great against those who rely on it so badly, Sky Striker, Lab, Runick. A deck is truly broken when there really isnt any counter part to it. IMO Vanquish Soul is pretty broken, you NEED floodgates in order to stop it, thats already a problem itself.
3 there’s also the Fusion which is actually the worst one but it’s just hard to get out. I don’t get why they aren’t more popular for how toxic they are.
@@cliffhanger906I don’t get why think VS is really that strong. The only time I ever struggled against it is when they draw twice into Maxx C and Floodgates and I’m a Sky Striker/Mikanko player
How to represent Lab player at this Tournament as 7 deadly sins: - Greed - Pride - Lust. Anyway, The first game at Final is look like an Anime duel, Looks fire.
Finals game 1 was an intense grind game. I'm believing more so that someone at Konami is a serious branded enjoyer. Good work once again Dkayed and co. Also everyone that joined the tournament.

Making your opponent lose card advantage from ANY location isn't yugioh exclusive and usually isn't that big of a deal when it is random. The issue in ygo is that they can't balance hand rips because it is always 2 or more potential rips plus big body on the field that does something else. Worst offender by far was gumblar. In the older days it was your opponent adds key card mind crush on resolution. These crippling ways of disadvantaging your opponent are never going away and they aren't getting balanced in this card game especially
these tonaments are entertaning because decks like branded exist, back and forth gameplay. high enough win percentige to knock out omni negate decks. @@Gvnrae
6:17 they could've done that play by activating Big Welcome before Nib. Pank destroy Lovely, Nib resolves, Big Welcome summons Lovely and returns Nib to hand to pop a card from hand.
mirrojade is such a powerful card but still looks balanced on the surface that it doesn't look worth the ban. Kinda remind me like dingirsu in toss format
Been a fan since 02, started learning and playing around the salamangreat, madolche, phantom knight era… these branded replays don’t even look like the same game lol why are they so strong😅
Always trust that when it comes to AboHmod playing you'll get the best entertainment. He's probably the most entertaining player ever. Haus really did good as well. Excellent players.
So I’m guessing Dkayed doesn’t play Duel Links anymore? The last DL video he posted was a year ago. Perfectly fine of course! First video I ever watched of his was his Vendread/shrinui deck. I spent weeks trying to get grass and when I finally did they banned it like a week later 😅
I came here to check if there's still people that think Dinomorphia is cringe (due to Dinomorphia Rexterm floodgate effect) after watching a Labrynth deck resolve Eradicator Epidemic Virus TWO TIMES IN THE SAME DUEL. Oh, well... 🤭
Man that game 1 of the grand finale was insane!

Imagine having your full deck full shiny in master duel
Imagine being able to dust it all.
he's got like 6/8 full royal rare decks lol

I've learned so many things watching your branded plays
The branded duelist is out of this world! , he seems to be always steps ahead somehow really amazing final GGs
Dat Lab deck is the shiniest thing I've ever seen
Labrynth vs branded was one hell of a duel
The Dinomorphia vs labrynth duel was the most disgusting, and saddest duel I've ever witnessed. Hand rip cards should not exist
Fk lab… and they are getting more support that makes they near on t0
Branded Fusion and Puppet lock should also not exist so stop whining bro.

Thx for holding such a wonderful tournament

Always trust that when it comes to AboHmod playing you'll get the best entertainment. He's probably the most entertaining player ever. Haus really did good as well. Excellent players.
haus lab deck has flood gates but it doesn't have the furniture so it balance it out...
lab garbage reached finals only because of floodgates/ weighbridge, branded best deck let’s go
This tournament was really entertaining
Ppl start (re)whining about Branded
This deck wont die 😂
Branded dont die, it comes back yo hand on End Phase
Branded producing games for the ages
I get it.
Haus doesn't use Furniture cards simply because they are not Royal-craftable :)
Now g07h4xfoo can joke Ikea Lab is inferior
dognaughtika punishment 0_0
Finally a branded player I like, he understands how the deck works.
Lab losing to a Dino deck with all the bricks, you love to see it. Lab is so underhated and idk why.
lab is in fact overhated for being a trap deck
Lab is hated, it's just sometimes ppl rooting for lab if they are against the current top meta deck (like Branded for example)
Thank you for these vids
what an insane finale
AboHammod is goated with branded.
dat 17 turn grind game in the final tho
branded vs salamanotgreatanymore is the best example diffrence beetwen top tier and just a rogue deck 😂
That lab deck probably cost more than a car 😬😬
its probably a mod or something cause its really fucking expensive

@@theobserver480if it's mod then the other can't see it,pretty sure that's a legit RF Lab deck

May have been different if he was able to big welcome his own lovely before banishment
But that first duel was real intense
here we go again :DDDD thank mate
how many thousands do you have to drop into the game to have such a deck full with royals...
Lmao lab floodgate bozo owned by his own hubris
@Dkayed
When are we getting a contest of champions
All the previous winners going head to head would be great.
That D Barrier interaction with pendulum summoning is the dumbest thing ever, you can still pendulum summon, you just cant special summon pendulums

Not enough views/interactions to keep it up. It's a very expensive game.
I LOVE BRANDED😎
That guy crazy or super iach even extra deck cards are royales
😮😮😮
Money buys royals but not skill! Haha loved that comment in the chat and so true
branded despia becoming like tearlament is crazy strong.. 😮
Grass strong 😮💨
Finals were very entertaining GGz
feels like branded has won every meta weekly since tear nerf. even some during tear format
Branded is gonna have to be hit again at somepoint
So just wondering, when he streams these tournys, isn’t dkayed worried about people watching the stream while playing him so they know his strategy?
everything except the grand finals isnt live and live duels have both hands hidden
The duel not live thats why he can pause
So it’s safe to say they don’t use the dc results to keep things in check got it.
Is AboHmod the original Earlgb or what bcus I'm confused.
I came here to check if there's still people that think Dinomorphia is cringe (due to Dinomorphia Rexterm floodgate effect) after watching a Labrynth deck resolve Eradicator Epidemic Virus TWO TIMES IN THE SAME DUEL.
Oh, well... 🤭
Dang the final is insane
Lab needs a big fat nerf
I need a vid of Haus-Drachen flex his royal decks 😂
even full power tearlaments wouldn't be able to stop branded atp
How do participate in the tourney
where is the deck lists
WHY DID HE ACTIVATE GOZEN???
A mistake by the lab player
Can anyone explain to me why the Gamma was activatable although there we're Monsters on the field? It was the match branded vs Superheavy Samurai
Simply there is enabler, the link
Ahh thanks!
That, final was peak and lettssss gooooo branded it is broken fr man
FInally Abo got his deserved Meta weekly top. Les Go!
Alot of dino in these recently which is nice.
Gamma summons from hand deck or gy that’s why you only play one
Are we gonna try😮 Omg we tried
Me😂😂😂😂😂
how many royal rare decks does hans have lol
During these tourneys are you locked into 1 deck?
Yes. No side deck and no switchingm
no mannadium in tournament? it really died 😢
I'm a big fan of Yu-Gi-Oh
no commentary on decks?
How did the gamma activate in 58:39 when there are monsters on his field
Psy link monster let you use gamma negate
