I have a very similar deck, not playing the Dragoon package but I main Super Poly (since under Lost Tearlaments can't activate their effect after you Super Poly them), and this version of the deck has an incredible consistent way of making double masquerade, branded beast, branded banishment and even dramaturge at times. All you need is access to Lost and Branded Fusion (I also play 1 Mercourier to banish it with Albion to search Cartesia for the double Masq play) I absolutely love your version of the deck, I have cut Ad Lib about a month ago as well and people were talking shit about it, but it's really just not great in the meta.
Super poly is also great. I generally main it, this was actually the first time i ever moved it to the side😂 i personally didnt feel like it did enough for me, because i rarely had both lost and super poly in hand, but 100% agree its a good way to get rid of rukallos😂 and yeah with all the bystials around resolving a red is really hard, especially if you target an ad lib😂😂
Congrats on the top👏 and I like how you build your deck. I see your reasons on your ratios for your cards that you play. Very versatile. I’m mainly a d/d player but I’m transitioning to this deck after seeing how powerful it can be.
Thank you :) I personally dont know much about D/D but from what I hear its a very complex deck with many lines. In my opinion Branded (with all the newer support) is similar now. There is a standard line for turn 1 but beyond that point its super versatile. If youre used to that type of gameplay then you already have an edge over a lot of other Branded players ;)
Thank you! Yes its really good for this deck because albaz is part of the engine, and if you open hex seal its not necessarily a brick either 😁 plus not many people are prepared with non targetting removal
Can't wait for the test hand and combos. Lots of the time I'm not sure what to do to make good boards besides the only combo I know. Love to learn on it plus when to search Cartisha/Dramaturge
I like Goddess With The Third Eye more over The Light Hex Sealed Fusion simply because she is a Fairy, she has more synergy with other cards in the Branded Despia deck.
@@gibb0210 regained not really, albion sometimes, but theres ways to work around it. For example, if im resolving pot theres a good chance i get both b fusion + lost. General combo makes me go into albion -> lubellion -> mirrorjade. On albion fusion summon i search albion the shrouded, then on lubellion fusion summon i discard the albion for cost, and then later in the gy ill use albion shrouded to foolish either high spirits (to add back to hand) or retribution to still get the foolish off. As for regained, doesnt really come up as often unless i hard draw both, which isnt really common
Honestly. This is one of the better deck profiles for despia bystial that I have for sure seen. 10/10 will test with. Curious though is the LIGHT hex needed? Or can you use switch it out for DARK hex or swamp king? Since dragoon is a dark after all.
I would 100% play light hex. The point is it can be used as branded fusion target. If you use dark then youd need a discard for lubellion. On top of that with the light you leave albion on field, so if you somehow have bystial lubellion access then you can tribute albion from field. King of the swamp cant be sent with branded fusion which is the problem. The dragoon engine as a whole is not needed, and in general i woulsnt play it as mirrorjade provides free followup whereas dragoon requires a discard and no follow up. The only reason i play him is that hes unexpected, and tear struggle to clear him as they cant target him. Once you negate once, they need field spell, scream, and a big tear fusion to crash dragoon as both would have 3.5k atk. The other way to clear him is zeus. Bagooska can be problematic, but i usually only make dragoon turn 2-3 once they used resources
Good video man! Loved the insight. I have this deck but play it tear branded because it's fun. But would like to test your build up. Keep up the good work:)
I think slayer is really helpful since you can bounce rukallos by sending garura, getting a draw, and still being on 6 cards while opponent has significantly weaker board. generally they dont end on Elf turn 1
Hey man, nice vid! I always liked yugi but never really played it. This year some friends of mine started picking the game so i might as well join them at local tournaments, and i thought this would be a nice deck for me to start with. My only question is: how do i summon RED EYES DARK DRAGOON? I understood that i need a dark magician card?
In general yes, but in this deck we can use The Light Hex Seal. It can be substituted as a name for a fusion summon. So, instead of dark magician you can use that card. The general way is use branded fusion -> send albaz and hex seal to gy summon Albion -> albion effect banish albaz and hex seal (dark magician + dragon monster) make dragoon :) alternatively if you draw the hex seal, you can use field spell/branded in white/cartesia eff to fuse it with any dragon (bystials/albaz) to make Dragoon without branded fusion
@@obrenygothanks man, it sounds so powerful ahahah another question, yesterday i tried to replicate the deck in Master Duel, the ygo videogame, and it didnt let me put more than 2 jesters and didnt have bystials cards, among other tweaks. Is this deck still possible to play in 2023? Idk how ban lists work so idk if u made this before or after the most recent card list rules
Thank you! 3x Saronir is still good since you can use it both as a hand trap, but also as a discard that lets you then foolish a branded spell/trap, mixed with albion send retribution + b fusion and then add b fusion to hand from retribution eff. The other 4 slots depends on the total build. Ill probably make a budget deck profile too :)
@benjamincastro1764 definitely would follow the advice with at least saronir. As for the others, you can try out the mercurriour line. It's pretty decent if you are on allure instead of prosperity, but it does require an albaz fusion to be on board (you'd be surprised how often that bird will be in your hand and your opponent keeps you off a fusion come game 2)
@@obrenygo yeah slayer only seemed worth against spright when you add the evil twin trouble sunny package to send off slayer to get rid of elf then use trouble sunny on toad, but thats a big investment as far as an extra deck and side deck slot
Im just a big Albaz fan, the whole lore, art, and playstyle. Generally Branded is played the mirrorjade into chimera line, i pretty much never do that (in the regional i didnt summon chimera once). Once you memorize all the cards and what they can do you can really make some interesting plays especially when youre in the grind and have resources in the gy. So this can really confuse your opponent as Branded is a popular deck, but playing it in a different way can be unexpected. I dont usually end on big turn 1 boards, but even with 1-3 interruptions if they clear everything, ill end on like 4-6 cards in hand and resources in the gy to otk next turn. I hope I explained it well :)
@@ishaanjakhar7541 agreed! the thing is, going 1st setting up a board with a mirrorjade that can raigeki if removed along with 1-2 other disruptions, while also making sure I start my next turn with 4-6 cards in hand it becomes really easy to win on turn 2. Tomorrow I have a test hand video coming out ;)
The card name is “Wollow, Founder of the Drudge Dragons”. Its very situational, but mostly as an xyz for slayer. If you dont run slayer then i recommend another fusion monster
First great profile. I have both decks Tear Isuzu and BBD, but have more fun of course with BBD. This is just a personal thing, I don't like any of the pot cards so I use allure with adlib along with D shifter. The addition of ultimate slayer is awesome as well as you insight on using foolish burial and Kitt. For my side I tech anti magic arrows for evenly against my board. What's your thoughts?
It really depends whats popular at your locals. If there is a lot of tear/ishizu, as well as bystials, then I personally wouldnt run Ad lib as hes usually bricky in hand (without edge imp package) and Red's target usually gets moved by bystial/ishizu. Anti Magic Arrow is interesting, cant say I've tested it myself but if there are lots of people at your locals using Evenly then id say its a good side :) As for Prosperity, my theory with it is since I already cut down my deck as much as possible, I dont have any monsters that are "bricks" that id banish, so id rather look at the top 3 cards with prosperity and handpick the one that will make my hand even better, rather than drawing a random 2 cards and banishing something that I dont really want to banish
Hey congrats! I'm going to be recording your top on YGOPRODECK. Mind if I ask which regionals was this in specific and how many players (if you can recall) played? I'll credit your video too, of course.
Hi, thanks! I saw the page, thanks a lot :) It was I think 58 players attending, 6 rounds. It was in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Round 1: 2-0 Rikka. Round 2: 2-0 Spright. Round 3: 2-0 Exosister. Round 4: 2-0 Runick Naturia. Round 5: 1-1 Tearlament Ishizu. Round 6: 1-2 Tearlament Ishizu. Lost last round on time on small LP dif. Needed an extra 30 sec to attack for game 🙃
What would you like to know? :) i mostly play dragoon since vs tear they have a hard time destroying it, especially in a simplified game-state. Spirits is another way of getting branded fusion, since the b fusion/opening/aluber is only 81% chance to open 1, in a big tourney thats low. Spirits is used to search kitt -> b fusion. Not ideal as it requires disxards, but still better than no branded fusion. Alternatively if you draw both b fusion + spirits, discard spirits within the combo, and it comes back to hand during ep free card adv. white is another searchable poly that only requires a dragon. You can even hard make dragoon with white if you open hex seal. Dragoon requires dark magician + a dragon. Thanks to bystials we now have many options :)
Nice profile congrats:) I also plan on playing on despia bystials next regional but I have no prosperity and slayer What would u recommend instead? Dark ruler for slayer maybe but I don't know about prosperity
I wouldnt really recommend Dark Ruler, it doesnt help much vs Tear and the Slayer slot is really an anti tear slot. For main deck you can either do 3x Droplets, or cut the prosperity and run 2nd Lost, 2nd Albion (as an engine upstart goblin to side out). For slayer swap personally i think the best alternative is Shifter, as you can run it both going 1st and 2nd. 1st you can use it, make mirrorjade through Lubellion, and let them struggle and otk them on your next turn. Also good going 2nd messes up their plays. If you do run shifter I recommend not shotgunning it, but save it when they go to mill 8, chain 3 shifter so all of them get banished :)
@@obrenygo yeah I think u are right with the shifter it may be the best option for me:) I think 2nd lost and albion is maybe better than droplets Did you try out to play more than 1 high spirits and how was it for you? Anyway thanks alot:)
High spirits I explained is another 1 card starter that either helps you get branded fusion, or you use it as the discard which comes back to hand in ep. White is good since its either another way to get another fusion, if you use albaz you can also banish materials, and card is searchable. As for the 1 ofs theyre really not bricky at all. As i explained with the 12 1-card starters (ways of activating branded fusion) you have 89% chance to open at least one of them, not to mention the 3x pot of prosperity. I play the deck more as a toolbox rather than a linear combo deck. So the one ofs really help in different situations. Each of them have a use in their own way :)
Yeah im considering testing it at 2, never hurts opening it. Especially since if you open it but not branded fusion if you can fuse with cartesia/white/red/theater then you can search kitt -> search b fusion 😁
Only reason I cut lost from 2 was inevitably I'd draw the second one lol. I'd rather dig for it with prosp/search it depending on what my opening hand is
“Mirror Jade effect isnt live because you have to send directly from Extra Deck to GY” Can you please elaborate on what you mean here? This doesnt make sense to me.
If the only change to the decklist is cutting prosp, then id recommend 3x droplet, as youd still have 89% chance to open a starter and droplets help you break boards. Wouldnt play allure, only changes your random hand to a modifiend random hand. If a build has multiple tragedies/mercourier then allure is fine since you can +1, but in my build allure isnt good. If you dont have droplets then you can cut those cards for a clean 40 (but then siding would be hard), so you could put in 2nd Albion, 2nd Lost, 2nd tragedy, and then use those to side out
I run a random upstart goblin. It literally changes nothing about the chances because it just replaces itself, and it's a guarantee easy side out worse case scenario. Best case you side and that random upstart can simply turn into one of those.
Agreed a basic upstart goblin works. 2nd albion might be bricky (tested it myself, used albion effect to draw, drew 2nd albion..😂) but always keep 1x albion in main, side out the upstart
@obrenygo yeah that happens a lot ironically enough. To be fair, I've had some weird stuff happen with albion because I used upstart 1 card too late lol. I may have missed a top cut at locals once because I used albion to drop retribution (didn't want to draw retribution with upstart...I would cry lol), banished retribution to grab opening. Should have used upstart right there before opening but wasn't thinking. Opening into aluber into fusion. Fuse into lubellion. Got impermed. Played upstart...drew albion...🤣. Might not have mattered, but who knows what that upstart would have given me if I played it before I had to shuffle and had the deck cut.
Sir my local is still kinda on old format and is loaded with ash and im kinda ashphobic bcz of it im new to game and my first deck is branded any solutions? İ wanted to play branded bystial tear just bcz of this local loaded with ht
If you want, you can go the 60 card route and run the Frightfur package with 2-3 Chain and Patchwork and 2 Polymerization. If you're not running the Despia field spell, you probably should run at least 1 copy as a backup plan in case your branded fusion gets Ash'd.
@@reded3104 Generally you can also play around ash if you draw Albaz. Thats another reason why in pure builds you should play 3 Albaz. Branded Tear is also very strong. I can make a video on both topics if interested?
The effect of ad lib cant be interrupted. The problem is that you need to use ad lib as fusion material during your opponents turn. This can be done in 3 ways -> red, banishment, cartesia. Red and banishment can be interrupted by bystials and ishizu, and you rarely end with cartesia on board with ad lib in hand. Apart from his effect, ad lib is a hard brick in hand that accomplishes nothing. On top of that, a mirrorjade that can raigeki is much more useful than 1 more banish because then the opponent has to attack over it, otherwise theyd get otk’d next turn
They can, but thats why I wouldnt make him turn 1, rather turn 2/3 depending on the game state. Also even if they do make bagooska, they still cant hit over dragoon with it so they need something more on top of it
@@justinscaife530 there are multiple options. If you run more high spirits and despia monsters you can put in el shaddoll construct to be a high spirits send target. You can alternatively play Quaeritis who is really good into swordsoul. You can make their monsters 0 atk, and if they baron negate and destroy ss albaz and fuse off or bait negates. Those are best in my opinion, post photon hypernova will need to squeeze in 1x Finale Dragon and Lindwurm.

First great profile. I have both decks Tear Isuzu and BBD, but have more fun of course with BBD. This is just a personal thing, I don't like any of the pot cards so I use allure with adlib along with D shifter. The addition of ultimate slayer is awesome as well as you insight on using foolish burial and Kitt. For my side I tech anti magic arrows for evenly against my board. What's your thoughts?
It really depends whats popular at your locals. If there is a lot of tear/ishizu, as well as bystials, then I personally wouldnt run Ad lib as hes usually bricky in hand (without edge imp package) and Red's target usually gets moved by bystial/ishizu. Anti Magic Arrow is interesting, cant say I've tested it myself but if there are lots of people at your locals using Evenly then id say its a good side :) As for Prosperity, my theory with it is since I already cut down my deck as much as possible, I dont have any monsters that are "bricks" that id banish, so id rather look at the top 3 cards with prosperity and handpick the one that will make my hand even better, rather than drawing a random 2 cards and banishing something that I dont really want to banish

Anyway thanks alot:)
How many players have attended on the tournament btw? :)
Why so many one of cards? Don't you think it's really bricky? What's the purpose of branded in white and high spirits, or running only one of them?
High spirits I explained is another 1 card starter that either helps you get branded fusion, or you use it as the discard which comes back to hand in ep. White is good since its either another way to get another fusion, if you use albaz you can also banish materials, and card is searchable. As for the 1 ofs theyre really not bricky at all.

If the only change to the decklist is cutting prosp, then id recommend 3x droplet, as youd still have 89% chance to open a starter and droplets help you break boards. Wouldnt play allure, only changes your random hand to a modifiend random hand. If a build has multiple tragedies/mercourier then allure is fine since you can +1, but in my build allure isnt good. If you dont have droplets then you can cut those cards for a clean 40 (but then siding would be hard), so you could put in 2nd Albion, 2nd Lost, 2nd tragedy, and then use those to side out
I run a random upstart goblin. It literally changes nothing about the chances because it just replaces itself, and it's a guarantee easy side out worse case scenario. Best case you side and that random upstart can simply turn into one of those.
@@obrenygo thanks :D
Agreed a basic upstart goblin works. 2nd albion might be bricky (tested it myself, used albion effect to draw, drew 2nd albion..😂) but always keep 1x albion in main, side out the upstart
@obrenygo yeah that happens a lot ironically enough. To be fair, I've had some weird stuff happen with albion because I used upstart 1 card too late lol. I may have missed a top cut at locals once because I used albion to drop retribution (didn't want to draw retribution with upstart...I would cry lol), banished retribution to grab opening. Should have used upstart right there before opening but wasn't thinking. Opening into aluber into fusion. Fuse into lubellion. Got impermed. Played upstart...drew albion...🤣. Might not have mattered, but who knows what that upstart would have given me if I played it before I had to shuffle and had the deck cut.
How many cards on main ?
43 cards in main. Could be played without the 3x pot for clean 40 but then siding becomes more difficult
Sir my local is still kinda on old format and is loaded with ash and im kinda ashphobic bcz of it im new to game and my first deck is branded any solutions? İ wanted to play branded bystial tear just bcz of this local loaded with ht
If you want, you can go the 60 card route and run the Frightfur package with 2-3 Chain and Patchwork and 2 Polymerization. If you're not running the Despia field spell, you probably should run at least 1 copy as a backup plan in case your branded fusion gets Ash'd.
@@Lockon_Stratos I built a 60 card build branded byssted tear but idk how to build a 60 card pure branded byssted a help maybe?
@@reded3104 Generally you can also play around ash if you draw Albaz. Thats another reason why in pure builds you should play 3 Albaz. Branded Tear is also very strong. I can make a video on both topics if interested?
@@obrenygo yes sure
@Lockon_Stratos why 60 cards? I run thr frightfur package, with the full bystial lineup, and my deck is 45. Works well
I have a dm in my deck for dragoon and he legit has won so many games
Yes the additional burn is also really nice. Been thinking of siding one dm instead of 2nd zombie world to test it going second :)
Ad Lib can’t be interrupted by ishizu and bystial you must use it to resummon mirrorjade and other monsters from banished… 🙄
The effect of ad lib cant be interrupted. The problem is that you need to use ad lib as fusion material during your opponents turn. This can be done in 3 ways -> red, banishment, cartesia. Red and banishment can be interrupted by bystials and ishizu, and you rarely end with cartesia on board with ad lib in hand. Apart from his effect, ad lib is a hard brick in hand that accomplishes nothing. On top of that, a mirrorjade that can raigeki is much more useful than 1 more banish because then the opponent has to attack over it, otherwise theyd get otk’d next turn
Can't they just make bagooska for dragoon? Lol
They can, but thats why I wouldnt make him turn 1, rather turn 2/3 depending on the game state. Also even if they do make bagooska, they still cant hit over dragoon with it so they need something more on top of it
I have only one lubellion but the other bystals I have. I think I can get away with it
Yes you can 100%. I rarely get it banished. I dont mind drawing it which is why i play 2 also, but 1 is deffi enough
Also I found out I recently don’t have hex seal anymore. Is there a extra deck replacement that’s ok ?
@@justinscaife530 there are multiple options. If you run more high spirits and despia monsters you can put in el shaddoll construct to be a high spirits send target. You can alternatively play Quaeritis who is really good into swordsoul. You can make their monsters 0 atk, and if they baron negate and destroy ss albaz and fuse off or bait negates. Those are best in my opinion, post photon hypernova will need to squeeze in 1x Finale Dragon and Lindwurm. Ill be making more vids soon talking about deck building and comboing so feel free to subscribe to be notified when those come out! ;)
