Branded is the most non-linear, complicated deck in Master Duel at the moment in my opinion. The different combinations of lines you can take based on single cards changing in your hand is mind blowing. I've been playing it a lot on ladder recently and every game feels unique and it always feels like I just have enough to deal with any situation, I love it! Thank you for your combo guide here and updated desklist, I'll be using it on ladder for sure!
Man, after playing Branded Despia years ago and thinking I was pretty good with the deck, this video just humbled me. So many lines you showcased just never even occured to my tiny brain. Thank you so much for this I'll absolutely keep rewatching this video to learn.
This will happen, we get comfortable in our combos and don't even register different ways to use cards, it's always the best when you see different interactions with cards you use and you go 'I never thought about that' it makes you much better at the game
Anti evenly match combo : You'll need Branded fusion or any way to search it. Activate to send Albaz and bystial lubellion from deck to grave to fusion summon Albion. Activate Albion to banish Albaz from grave and any other DARK monster from your hand, field or grave, or Aluber if you used it to search Branded fusion. Fusion Summon Lubellion and discard any card to fusion summon using itself and Albaz into Mirrorjade. Tribute Albion to summon Lubellion from grave and activate Branded beast from deck. I recommend to summon both Mirrorjade and Lubellion in def to avoid lightning storm. During the end phase : Albion sets Branded king from deck. Meaning this end board has monster banishment with mirrorjade, card destruction with Branded beast and omni-negate with Branded king. PD : if you use Branded king card make sure to chain branded beast right after to Destroy a card, that way because of the chain it will not be negated, which means you get to destroy an opponent's card and negate the entire board except Mirrorjade
Aluber + Bystial lubellion combo, im pretty sure by sending Titaniclad first with granguignol and going into end phase where you summon quem first then activate mirrojade sending albion followed by rindbrumm negate for the same results, but you triggers quem and can put cartesia on the board instead of hand, adding potential disruption depending on what you play.
@@Droniis that’s true, it gives you different disruptions, but not more disruptions, you’ll have Mirrorjade banish 2 since quem can now revive it, and maybe dragostapelia, but then you won’t have fusing with opponent’s monster But probably better to do it your way
@@Moha-MasterDuel I'll not take credit for this combo, it's the common Rinbrumm line that I've learned on others channel. You have everything the same, but with a Cartesia on board as bonus. At least, it gives one more timing trigger on quem if you want to revive something, and board protection by dodging targeted effects using the cartesia. Also you can summon dragostapellia more easily. It really is just bonus. You can do everything you've done interactions wise, and more. You're playing a super poly package, so you've tailored the extra deck and your deck with that in mind, but if you were to play like Ad libitum or Chaos Nephtys you'll definitly need that cartesia to enable those play in your opponents turn (Ad libitum for 3rd Mirrojade banish)
It is the exact combo shown (Aluber+lubellion)in this video with a slight optimisation. So yes, you will try to search BiW in your combo (through GY or Killian) (Answer to someone who deleted his comment apparently)
Branded still going strong 💪 Love it. Branded has so much utilities card combo like Nadir Servant or Book of Eclipse to dodge imperm or veiler 40 or 60 card deck.
@@natsusalamander2396 it's despia buddy, one of THE strongest decks. Of course it's expensive. Have you seen snake eyes? (I want this deck so bad but I'm broke)
I remember when branded despia first came out. 3 branded fusion, 3 aluber, 3 branded opening. People use to hold out imperm, veiler or ash blossom because most of the time aluber is just used as bait since there is a good chance that the opponent drew branded fusion since it was unlimited. Dumping branded fusion when summoning lubelion fusion is a now surreal. LMAO.
Thank you very much for this guide! I keep timing out because I'm not sure when it's optimal to go for what monster (Albion, Lubellion, Sanctifier etc). Or wondering what's best to send to grave. The deck is wild man.
Yo bro in the aluber lubellion combo you should probably wait for end phase resolve titanklad special quem send albaz then use mirrorjade to send albion and chain rindbrum then activate quem to special cartesion that way you have a cartesia on board
Yeah but he've already used rindbrum's eff before,therefore if he still wanted to have cartesia as you said he would lost the banishment from Mirrorjade and 1 monster.
@@MiguelAngelCastañeda-x7e he meant to also save rindbrumm’s effect for last, it works, you’d have 1 more banish, but you wouldn’t be able to fuse with opponent’s monster with Albaz
Hey Moha good job on making a new branded decklist you made changes to the cards in the main and extra deck right now im at diamond 2 and im using my current upgraded branded deck from season 33
Great comprehensive video Moha! I love all the combos shown, I just personally prefer to always end up on Branded King as it's an Omni and shuts down most decks like Centurion or Labyrinth etc. Diamond 1 Branded main here, I run a modest 43 cards list (3 extra cards being Evenly, no super polys) just wanted to give my 2 cents on techs and lines, mostly on playing through interruptions: 15:32 especially this, the Anti-Maxx C combo, you happened to hard draw Mercourier and it was 2 Interruptions, but what if I told you that you can always end up with it in hand even if you don't open it, in 1 special summon ? I'm talking about making Rindbrumm by sending Albaz and Tri-Brigade Nervall to add Mercourier to hand, this is not only 2, but 3 interruptions since if they deal with Rindbrumm or send it to GY during their Main Phase you can actually bring either it or Albaz back *after* using your searched Mercourier *and* his effect. Also I'd like to mention for the people reading this far, always Fusion Deployment your Cartesia on the field or Normal Summon her before any combo so that you can dodge your Aluber/Kitt/Branded Albion getting Imperm'd / Veiler'd, and always Chain Lock your Branded Albion with Loss so that they can't Ash it. Also if you got the Extra Deck slots it's nice running Luluwalith and Quaeritis as flex slots for your Granguignol to float into depending on the situation, having either Luluwalith or Dramaturge along with Rindbrumm can stop most combos in the game and even if you've popped your Branded King you can wait for Granguignol to go to the GY to float into something else.
@@CloudStrife0896 thank you and also thanks for your feedback The anti Maxx c combo, it’s 2 disruptions because the first is fusing with their monster, and the second is Mirrorjade banish, I didn’t count Mercourier as a disruptions But tri-brigade Nervall is interesting

@@Lucelek27 thank you! It was between Verte anaconda or dragostapelia, and I realized dragostapelia will come up more often for me, as for you, it depends which comes up more often 2 copies of branded retribution is simply for the grind game
You might wanna try running the tear package, one rionheart and the two tear fusion monsters, kitkolos rikolos and kelaido. this way fusion deployment is a crazy one card cambo. But it comes at the cost of three extra deck spots. For me its the best way to play branded. btw do you think D/D/D Vice King Requiem lock is worth it?
@@thecrab3015 it’s a good way to play but I don’t think it’s the best, in my opinion the Decklist I showed in this video is the best The next best lock is Ra’s Disciple I think
Thank you for the combo guide! I’m a Labyrinth player and that deck has had it rough and I can’t get past gold, Dogmatika is a deck I’ve been wanting to build but I’m not sure which cards to put in the deck because so many other cards have synergies with Dogmatika! Dogmatika looks like it is not only fun but also gives you more options for responding to your opponents negates! It’s unfortunate that I’ve been struggling to grind the gems for it since I can’t win consistently with Labyrinth nowadays. I’m f2p so I’m not spending money, but I feel like I need to dismantle my Z-ARC and Mikanko decks (I don’t want to have to do that since those were hard to grind for too and I don’t wanna make rash decisions). I think another issue is that I don’t login every day even thought I should lol, I love theory lore behind Dogmatika! The card art is also very pretty and I love the aesthetic because it reminds me of Castlevania! It hard to figure out what I wanna do for my Dogmatika deck because there’s so many different ways to build it and I not sure which build is better for ranking up. Any help or advice would be appreciated!💚✨
@@bunnycakez0326 so first off, definitely don’t dismantle decks, not worth it as you said Second, if you want, I reached master 1 with a labrynth deck (I uploaded the video a few days ago) so maybe take inspiration from that Decklist if you want
Branded got a bit more consistency thanks to Gold Sarcophagus getting semi-limited. Might aim to build it next soon after Lightsworn, but I’ll wait to see how the meta adapts to likely Tempai Dragon coming soon before committing. Btw, with Tearlament’s field spell gone, is it possible to make an updated guide or post on what to fill in the void for the field spell (in Tear or other decks that used it like Mannadium)? Good guide!
With their field spell gone, I guess you could run ROTA if you weren't running it already, since it's a fourth copy of Reinoheart. Obviously not as good, but it helps with consistency.
@@JosephHk743 yep I’ll also be getting like 150 UR from this banlist so I’ll have materials to craft new things Tear field spell, I wasn’t playing foolish burial so I’ll now play it, otherwise if you were already playing it, maybe add 1 more copy of supreme sea mare
I'm pretty sure Alba Lenatus is going to see more play with Tenpai running around. Maybe Buster Blader dragon destroyer might see some play along with duality.
holy the deck is expensive af but good video moha, just as i'm about to build branded you release this guide, help me a lot on how to navigate this deck lol and also is it by any chance that your centur-ion guide got taken down by yt?
Hey really cool deck list and very good video! I have been playing Master duel for a while and want to change my gameplay up a bit. Usually I play trap decks (Lab/Paleo), So I don't really have a lot of these cards. I am basically missing the entire extra deck and want to ask which of these cards are must haves and which ones I could cut? Also I am missing Quem, Cartesia and Mercourier, was well as 2 Lubellions. The rest I have available. Thanks for the answer!
@@Kuhaku-chan thank you Unfortunately the entire extra deck is necessary for different situations, the least summoned monster is Quaeritis there Lubellion can be played at 2 it’s fine, but you’d have to add more shrouded dragons Good luck 🫡
Thank you for this video. I just pulled a royal mirror jade and lubellion so now I have to make this deck and your convos are all broken down i appreciate it
In 11:10 did you draw another albaz accidentally by the effect of shrouded and then use it for branded in red in 12:50 ? (Because the albaz that was sent to GY by the effect of quem got revived and shuffled back through lubellion). What happens if we dont draw that another albaz by the effect of shrouded? Can we still continue the combo using branded in red if we don’t have another albaz in GY? Thank you in advance
@@bulbamon yes because you don’t specifically need Albaz. It can be Albaz, any Despia monster, or guiding Quem, a lot of targets, branded in red more often than not will be live
@@alfeinakrama9081 if you have a target for branded in red go with it, (so a Despia monster or fallen of Albaz in grave) If you don’t have a target for it, go with banishment
Have u thought of replacing borreload for starving venom fusion dragon? Same basic summoning conditions plus u get more effects to use then borreloads one useful effect
What's your thought about alba-lenatus? The banlist will surely make deck like VV and centurion going up, and some of players already using it especially againts centurion.
Right now I don’t see many dragon decks, so far not worth it, so maybe in the future But even against VV, it doesn’t do much really, skull guardian is a warrior and the other ritual they don’t care too much about
Love your work man, is this deck is the last deck with all the banlist ? Means no Puppet anymore? Also may I can ask you now how to use Albion Sactifire with this new deck
@@piecesuniques2989 thank you! Yes this is post banlist so no puppet Albion is used when they Maxx c, then during the next turn, sanctifire summon Albaz from grave to fuse with opponent’s monster into Mirrorjade to them banish a monster as well
@@piecesuniques2989 you send it to grave with Granguignol or branded fusion, then when a card is destroyed on the field, say with something like furious dragon, it revives itself to banish a card on the field plus 2 in grave
is branded despia diffrent with branded bystial ? last time i used branded whan branded fusion was 3. i want to update my branded deck 😂 branded looks complicated bow 😅
Can you give like a less costly version that can still work until we can get all cards?? Kinda like the core cards we need in main and extra deck if that makes sense
@@done7216 I honestly don’t remember what I took out but I updated my Decklist in this video: th-cam.com/video/jg7MniHh69E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=BOo0NQpGXIDejKrV
Any new tearlament deck profile post banlist? Been play testing and YIKES it's consistentcy tanks with my 60 card deck, even 40 cards it isn't as reliable as before. What other engines that may help me cook?
The fact that ash is the biggest threat to this deck meaning when ur opp have ash u know for sure they r waiting to ash branded fusion and ignore other thing. Plus gold sar is at 3 so why play 2 when u can have 5 copy of aluber. Do thunder dragon next pls
@@Moha-MasterDuel sr about saying gold sarc is at 3. i'm kinda confuse about the " issue has been fixed " in gold sarc so i'm not sure whether it is at 3 or 2 anymore
amazing guide! which of those two can I run a single copy of, Quem or Mercourier (cuz I am broke AF) and what do you think about the 40 cards variation of Branded?
hi, i am new in the game and tried to play zombie world deck but i fail so hard against meta decks. what deck do u recommend that my be similar to zombies? would this deck be good to try?
@@Moha-MasterDuel i played against it several times n it doesn't look really fun. Maybe i should give it a try. But aren't there any good decks that use the graveyard like zombies?
@@Tmac31LKM a budget list would be bricky, not ideal Dont forget that fusion deployment is from the cyberdark structure deck so you can basically get it for free
I don't know why but everytime I use Branded Fusion it got a different kind of effect , it says "Your opponents discard 1 Ash Blossom and if they do, you end your turn" ... I think I downloaded the wrong Master Duel 😢
@@dzeko9334 in actual duels where you use your entire hand, it’s worth it, also good with banishment to fuse with opponent monsters, but you’re right it is the least used monster in the extra deck
Also enabling to beatdown because it turns any monsters except Lv 8 or higher Fusion monsters to 0 Atk It's nice pair with Dragostapelia Predaplant counter since it also manipulate monster Lv to Lv1 if your opponent has High Level Fusion monsters
TBH Quareritis and Apo also a good pair (if only Branded didn't have Fusion lock) you can use all Apolousa negate until it has 800 (IDK it works or not if her Atk alrrady reach 0) you can use Quareritis to change it to 0 and next turn Apo atk will turn back to normal (depends of many monsters used to summon her)
@@Moha-MasterDuel it can negate opp’s dragons effects once per turn, so i think it can counter tenpai 2nd turn, it was just a passing thought 😂. Thanks for replying my cmt
bro just make alba-lenatus during their battle phase (if you went first) and when they synchro use either quem to revive albaz and fuse or use branded banishment or Sanctifire. If you somehow go second you can just contact fuse with a face-down albaz.
@@Moha-MasterDuel Yeah. I summon Defender for my second that way they are locked out of attacking. It seems a lot of people don't know Defender's ability. I've had numerous opponents enter the battle phase just to realize they can't attack with anything over 1600. Almost all of them surrender right away.
Branded Tearlaments guide next time? I am just saying out loud because I am struggling with the appropriate times to fusion summon branded and tearlaments at the same time. That grass looks greener is one of the things I need. Also I have nearly completed my main deck of snake eyes fire kings, just need that one fire kings ultra rare spell card and then at least 5 more ultra rare crafts of my side deck. I haven't seen you follow me so please check your follow list on your channel at your convenience please so we can duel in the duel room on master duel.
I whole heartedly hate branded decks. I sit there and watch them do their combo, and then finally they activate Fusion and I Ash and they quit. Like are you serious dude. The deck does more than that, Albaz Can fusion on his own, he doesn't need the fusion card. But anyway, I'm here because I put a branded package Into My dragon Maid Tenpai deck. With the limits coming to MD in a few days I needed to change some things. It took me a little bit to Learn Albion, into Lubellion, Into Mirror Jade, then Mirror Jade can Send Alba-Lunates and get me fusion or one of the other branded cards I run. Also You can make Albion with Change Over if you already have Albaz. I can't really do any combos, cause Albaz is literally the only "Archetype" monster I run for them, but once I get to Albion it's all Gas from there. Tenpai is Tenpai, even With the limits, it's still tenpai. And dragon maids are so stupid, if only they were good😂. Originally I changed the Tenpai combo so that I could Sheou on board before Entering Battle phase, since you can't make her in the battle phase. And learned that as Long as chundra is on board, You have Full Combo. I also realized that most of the time I only ever needed to make 2-3 synchros to clear a board. So having Sheou on board, Sometimes 2 was enough to stop pretty much everything, except Dragoon. So then I was like what if I can Put Mirror Jade on Board too. And turns out, yeah... you can. Amd it's absolutely disgusting.
@@mattevans1643 honestly many branded players will still have a good board even without branded fusion, sure it hurts sometimes but we have ways around it 😂 As for your deck, honestly you’re cooking, you’re making dragon maids good 👀 Good luck!

Diamond 1 Branded main here, I run a modest 43 cards list (3 extra cards being Evenly, no super polys) just wanted to give my 2 cents on techs and lines, mostly on playing through interruptions:
15:32 especially this, the Anti-Maxx C combo, you happened to hard draw Mercourier and it was 2 Interruptions, but what if I told you that you can always end up with it in hand even if you don't open it, in 1 special summon ?

@@s0l0vino thank you!
Thank you for the combo guide! I’m a Labyrinth player and that deck has had it rough and I can’t get past gold, Dogmatika is a deck I’ve been wanting to build but I’m not sure which cards to put in the deck because so many other cards have synergies with Dogmatika! Dogmatika looks like it is not only fun but also gives you more options for responding to your opponents negates! It’s unfortunate that I’ve been struggling to grind the gems for it since I can’t win consistently with Labyrinth nowadays. I’m f2p so I’m not spending money, but I feel like I need to dismantle my Z-ARC and Mikanko decks (I don’t want to have to do that since those were hard to grind for too and I don’t wanna make rash decisions). I think another issue is that I don’t login every day even thought I should lol, I love theory lore behind Dogmatika! The card art is also very pretty and I love the aesthetic because it reminds me of Castlevania! It hard to figure out what I wanna do for my Dogmatika deck because there’s so many different ways to build it and I not sure which build is better for ranking up. Any help or advice would be appreciated!💚✨
@@bunnycakez0326 so first off, definitely don’t dismantle decks, not worth it as you said
Second, if you want, I reached master 1 with a labrynth deck (I uploaded the video a few days ago) so maybe take inspiration from that Decklist if you want
@@Moha-MasterDuel thank you so much! I’ll be sure to check it out!💚✨
Branded got a bit more consistency thanks to Gold Sarcophagus getting semi-limited. Might aim to build it next soon after Lightsworn, but I’ll wait to see how the meta adapts to likely Tempai Dragon coming soon before committing.
Btw, with Tearlament’s field spell gone, is it possible to make an updated guide or post on what to fill in the void for the field spell (in Tear or other decks that used it like Mannadium)?
Good guide!
With their field spell gone, I guess you could run ROTA if you weren't running it already, since it's a fourth copy of Reinoheart. Obviously not as good, but it helps with consistency.
@@LauncherSpiderMk7 more Grief can be an extra Reino as well especially when it’s part of a slightly bricked hand
@@JosephHk743 yep I’ll also be getting like 150 UR from this banlist so I’ll have materials to craft new things
Tear field spell, I wasn’t playing foolish burial so I’ll now play it, otherwise if you were already playing it, maybe add 1 more copy of supreme sea mare
@@JosephHk743 I think I might make a short video yo update the decklists
I'm pretty sure Alba Lenatus is going to see more play with Tenpai running around. Maybe Buster Blader dragon destroyer might see some play along with duality.
Great guide update!!

Time for a redo of the deck with this new banlist announced.
@@A__Crab_onYT will do definitely!
Hey really cool deck list and very good video!
I have been playing Master duel for a while and want to change my gameplay up a bit. Usually I play trap decks (Lab/Paleo),
So I don't really have a lot of these cards. I am basically missing the entire extra deck and want to ask which of these cards are must haves and which ones I could cut?
Also I am missing Quem, Cartesia and Mercourier, was well as 2 Lubellions. The rest I have available.
Thanks for the answer!
@@Kuhaku-chan thank you
Unfortunately the entire extra deck is necessary for different situations, the least summoned monster is Quaeritis there
Lubellion can be played at 2 it’s fine, but you’d have to add more shrouded dragons
Good luck 🫡
Thank you for this video. I just pulled a royal mirror jade and lubellion so now I have to make this deck and your convos are all broken down i appreciate it
@@screwface2317 happy to help!
Very jealous of that royal Mirrorjade ngl
In 11:10 did you draw another albaz accidentally by the effect of shrouded and then use it for branded in red in 12:50 ? (Because the albaz that was sent to GY by the effect of quem got revived and shuffled back through lubellion). What happens if we dont draw that another albaz by the effect of shrouded? Can we still continue the combo using branded in red if we don’t have another albaz in GY? Thank you in advance
@@bulbamon yes because you don’t specifically need Albaz. It can be Albaz, any Despia monster, or guiding Quem, a lot of targets, branded in red more often than not will be live
A daily mythic combo from the best
@@alitahar1990 thank you Legend
Tell me what's the use of Gold sarcophagus?
@@ben_eluce5260 activate it to banish Despian Tragedy or Mercourier, tragedy can search Aluber or Quem, Mercourier can search basically anything
Can you do a combo video of Branded Predaplant?
@@FallenStar150 it’s not a popular way to play branded honestly :(
@@Moha-MasterDuel Ahhh gotcha I can kind of see why after trying it out
First combo should end in light and darkness dragonlord + mirrorjade active. Not sure if ladd is already in md though ✌🏽
@@manuelnunes7140 nope hasn’t arrived yet
I have a question, when should we put branded in red and when should we put banisment With albion effect?
I just always put banisment With albion effect
if u want to destroy backline cards like traps or continuous spell, put red to summon chimera
@@alfeinakrama9081 if you have a target for branded in red go with it, (so a Despia monster or fallen of Albaz in grave)
If you don’t have a target for it, go with banishment
@@Moha-MasterDuel noted
Have u thought of replacing borreload for starving venom fusion dragon? Same basic summoning conditions plus u get more effects to use then borreloads one useful effect
@@yhnbj I wouldn’t do that, personally I feel Borreload is more useful
What's your thought about alba-lenatus? The banlist will surely make deck like VV and centurion going up, and some of players already using it especially againts centurion.
Right now I don’t see many dragon decks, so far not worth it, so maybe in the future
But even against VV, it doesn’t do much really, skull guardian is a warrior and the other ritual they don’t care too much about
This is awesome thank you

@@piecesuniques2989 thank you! Yes this is post banlist so no puppet
Albion is used when they Maxx c, then during the next turn, sanctifire summon Albaz from grave to fuse with opponent’s monster into Mirrorjade to them banish a monster as well
@@Moha-MasterDuel So how do you use Chaos nephtys I want to understand why you added into your deck
@@piecesuniques2989 you send it to grave with Granguignol or branded fusion, then when a card is destroyed on the field, say with something like furious dragon, it revives itself to banish a card on the field plus 2 in grave

Nope it’s the same it’s just branded

is there any way to make branded cheaper?
@@dean5527 try 40 card branded
In 1 min on this vid, you shouldn't place lumbelion at monster zone 2 because opp maybe have anima. I think so
@@hackersomeone they can’t take Lubellion it really won’t do much, but yeah good tip always avoid that zone
The fact that ash is the biggest threat to this deck meaning when ur opp have ash u know for sure they r waiting to ash branded fusion and ignore other thing. Plus gold sar is at 3 so why play 2 when u can have 5 copy of aluber.
Do thunder dragon next pls
True but if you have high spirits sometimes your end board won’t be too bad
Gold sarc is at 2
Will do thunder dragons when banlist is applied
@@Moha-MasterDuel sr about saying gold sarc is at 3. i'm kinda confuse about the " issue has been fixed " in gold sarc so i'm not sure whether it is at 3 or 2 anymore
amazing guide!
which of those two can I run a single copy of, Quem or Mercourier (cuz I am broke AF)
and what do you think about the 40 cards variation of Branded?
40 card combo branded is doable but 60 cards is where you want to be at just the highest chance of getting key cards.
both can run with single copy for 40 cards deck, but if u still want extra juat in case i would say mercourier
@@Yazoon_S 40 cards is good but I’d much rather 60, has a higher ceiling power
I’d play 2 quem 1 Mercourier if I were you since quem is a good starter
Is it possible to play Branded with 40 cards, or is that not viable?
@@MomirViggwilv it has a much less ceiling power with 40 cards, but more consistent
Overall 60 better
Can i use some cards of galaxy eyes in the extra deck for more negat Or even some in the main deck

@@yg333 Tearlaments and lighstworn generally like milling, but they trigger when sent so not exactly like zombies
Doesnt mirrojade not use the effect the next turn when you use it? How does rindbrumm let u use it again?

Can you make a budget list please
@@Tmac31LKM a budget list would be bricky, not ideal
Dont forget that fusion deployment is from the cyberdark structure deck so you can basically get it for free

@@watt-zitt-tooya yes but if you believe hard enough, ash blossom doesn’t exist

is despian quaeritis really worth running? i don't see many times when it comes up and i don't get many chances to use it either
its situational for sure. like all of branded despia cards theyre situational it just depends on where you are at and what you can do.
It situational,its good to counter Apolousa since she must reduce her Atk by 800 in order to negate and Quareritis can make it to 0
@@dzeko9334 in actual duels where you use your entire hand, it’s worth it, also good with banishment to fuse with opponent monsters, but you’re right it is the least used monster in the extra deck
Also enabling to beatdown because it turns any monsters except Lv 8 or higher Fusion monsters to 0 Atk
It's nice pair with Dragostapelia Predaplant counter since it also manipulate monster Lv to Lv1 if your opponent has High Level Fusion monsters
TBH Quareritis and Apo also a good pair (if only Branded didn't have Fusion lock) you can use all Apolousa negate until it has 800 (IDK it works or not if her Atk alrrady reach 0) you can use Quareritis to change it to 0 and next turn Apo atk will turn back to normal (depends of many monsters used to summon her)

What’s your duelist name in master duel?
I whole heartedly hate branded decks. I sit there and watch them do their combo, and then finally they activate Fusion and I Ash and they quit. Like are you serious dude. The deck does more than that, Albaz Can fusion on his own, he doesn't need the fusion card.
But anyway, I'm here because I put a branded package Into My dragon Maid Tenpai deck. With the limits coming to MD in a few days I needed to change some things. It took me a little bit to Learn Albion, into Lubellion, Into Mirror Jade, then Mirror Jade can Send Alba-Lunates and get me fusion or one of the other branded cards I run. Also You can make Albion with Change Over if you already have Albaz. I can't really do any combos, cause Albaz is literally the only "Archetype" monster I run for them, but once I get to Albion it's all Gas from there. Tenpai is Tenpai, even With the limits, it's still tenpai. And dragon maids are so stupid, if only they were good😂. Originally I changed the Tenpai combo so that I could Sheou on board before Entering Battle phase, since you can't make her in the battle phase. And learned that as Long as chundra is on board, You have Full Combo. I also realized that most of the time I only ever needed to make 2-3 synchros to clear a board. So having Sheou on board, Sometimes 2 was enough to stop pretty much everything, except Dragoon. So then I was like what if I can Put Mirror Jade on Board too. And turns out, yeah... you can. Amd it's absolutely disgusting.
@@mattevans1643 honestly many branded players will still have a good board even without branded fusion, sure it hurts sometimes but we have ways around it 😂
