its only weakness is ED recursion, since you're burning through so many fusion monsters on your turn, though its still quite good at compared to most other decks.
@@handlebar4520arguably, lubellion fusion and use it to summon Alba Lenatus which will take every dragon on field grave or banished and return them back to the deck least every one that you want back into the deck
It dosen't die because it can be combined with so many other archetypes. It is one of the main reasons why it is one of my favorite archetypes, also why Eldlich is another one of my favorites.
A big thing with Master Duel Meta is that the data will change constantly. For example, this is the most recent change as of last night and is constantly updated via usage and tournaments. Ever since the recent Purrely and R-ACE support came out, Branded was on the high end of Tier 3. However, this can always change as more data continues circulating. Personally, what I believe keeps Branded in the Top 3 tiers is due to its versatility and the fact that it can be played on so many different ways that despite the hits, it can still stay strong and reasonably consistent. Whether it be going Branded Illusion Horus or Branded Tear or just pure Branded, this deck won't die.
I run Despia with Ecclesia, Golden Sword soul and Bystials. It's good for playing through some tough boards. As long as you can get them to use their negates and destruction before you play the starter card you should be fine. Golden sword soul is just good for getting Ecclesia, Quem and/or Cartesia to the field for a follow up and the Bystials actually help activate his effect if your opponent doesn't do it for you which they mostly likely will 😂
Personally I've gone to a 40 build the 60 was decent but there was way too many times I'd win coin flip go first and my hand was just straight bricked on thrusts called bys and all that so I decided to change to 40 and I'm much more satisfied with my opening hands and I consistently open hand traps more which I consider more valuable than relying on board breaker builds in md
I think trying to play Branded pure in OCG and Master Duel is interesting due to how many hits it has. You can't really play Branded Chimera all that well in OCG since there is only 1 Branded Fusion. I'm becoming more fond of the deck because of how high its ceiling is. If Branded Fusion continues to stay at 3 in the TCG (it honestly should, who cares), I may have to consider playing it pure just for that reason.
Thx for covering master duel But with that being said Lightning storm over droplets 💧is wild to me. Droplets is way more versatile first and second and it’s free off of spell activations. And dodges target negation. Imo 60 card builds are superior on master duel. Either have a turbo build with with allure and patchwork with one high spirits. Or do the non turbo build with 3 high spirits and more bystial. Both good i prefer turbo. But I think 3 cart has to be standard now. It’s the best card in this deck and you want to see it. Even in doubles so you have one for discard or high spirits or in grave and another for field effect. Imo quem can be played at one. It’s better at 2. Especially in 60. And especially with 2 grang But leads to my final. I have no idea why 2 grang isn’t standard. Card is so good. It allows you to send off one for high spirits. 2 makes puppet locks way easier in simplified game states. And if you’re playing unicorn it ensures you have 2.
Branded plays so many one ofs, all the semi limits do basically nothing and the limits say "we are punishing you for having Branded Fusion while Rescue-Ace Snake-Eye is a thing" Like I get 1 card being able to get you 7 more in the same turn is not the best for the game balance I guess but they arent consistent at all about it
Oh, just realized you didn't even have to summon maximus there and just keep it in hand to keep mirrorjade in the GY. Once you do the in red play, you can just bring back mirrorjade. Just goes to show how strong this deck is.
I enjoy playing branded a lot but I really don't like using Sanctifire as a floodgate enabler. Sure it wins you the game but I personally find it lame and boring. But yeah as long as they don't ban branded fusion this deck will never be bad. Even if they ban it I think it'll still be a decent rogue deck
@@LegionoftheBlackStarSanctifire is such a cool card design allowing the deck to grind infinitely and utilize the full power of Albaz. My only issue with the card is that it doesn't negate the effect of the monster summoned to the opponent's field, thus allowing all those gimmic/toxic locks and even infinite loops. I wish it gets an errata similar to summon Sorc to fix this, we have seen time and time again that giving stuff to the opponent never leads to healthy gamestates
It thrives because there it's best of 1 format and there is no side decking. Fusion/Synchro/XYZ decks suffer a lot because of targetted floodgates like D-Barrier in the side deck.
Heyy just wanted to try out branded in MD and you drop this. I was also looking at yours and Paks lists for referance. Do you think that 45-50 cards decklists simmilar to what both of you play in TCG are inferior to the 60 playstyle in MD because of the hits or you just felt like playing more of a pile style?
Honestly, limiting Branded Fusion just makes it easier to put in other fusion cards like Chimera Fusion. In addition, it’s now an Ash bait in my opinion. If they try banning it would just out right kill the the deck.
The deck never dies it has so much versatility the reason the deck fall out of the meta is because everyone is playing the new meta deck and they toss it aside until the current meta decks get nerfed and players realise branded is still pretty strong and it becomes tier 1 again. When snake eye gets nerf really hard watch branded raise again. Until the deck still has branded fusion it will never die
Branded is good in Master Duel but Tier 2 seems a little high. Too many hits in my opinion for Tier 2. I run frightfur package in Master Duel for consistency. This build you have seems better.
The tiering is based on the multiple tournaments and data collected from the game. For example, Branded has been Tier 3 ever since the R-Ace and Purrely support came out. However, only just now has it risen back to Tier 2 while Purrely drop to Tier 3 and R-Ace joined SE at Tier 1. Likely, Branded will fluctuate between 2 and 3 for a good few months based on the torunaments and data.
@dragonmasterxyz3544 I figured it was something like that. Branded is my go to deck in Master Duel when I'm tired of losing 😅. I don't usually lose to Ash Blossom but rather Maxx C bc they can draw more handtraps, when I try to setup. I feel like many decks though lose to the bug, so yeah overall deck seems to be Tier 2.5 or 3.
@mitchwilk793 Yeah for me, the only thing in MD that I genuinely despise (aside from Stun) is Maxx C. As it becomes a pain to deal with while they keep drawing cards

Branded has been out classed many times, yet it comes back every time Konami realizes another archetype needs a counter.
Branded is a really powerful deck. You never out of cards while playing.
its only weakness is ED recursion, since you're burning through so many fusion monsters on your turn, though its still quite good at compared to most other decks.
@@handlebar4520arguably, lubellion fusion and use it to summon Alba Lenatus which will take every dragon on field grave or banished and return them back to the deck least every one that you want back into the deck
@@handlebar4520 so true
Any fusion deck that has light or dark monsters works well with branded so it's hard to kill it off.
Branded never dies.
Yessir

When i picked up a branded starter deck i had no idea it would be this resilient.
Would love to see more of this type of video to learn more of how branded can play and interact with the opponent please
It’s resilient because branded fusion is still legal. As long as we have even 1 branded fusion legal we will find a way to make it work
Even with brafu banned the deck is still a contender it just becomes a synchro deck
I run Despia with Ecclesia, Golden Sword soul and Bystials. It's good for playing through some tough boards.

Branded will never die, it evolves.
I think is currently outclassed. Not dead thought.

The deck rewards a high skilled player. The skill gap between good and ok Branded players is much higher than any other deck that just pilots itself.
Thx for covering master duel

as long as they don't ban albaz

My thoughts exactly! I don't care if it "weakens" the deck. I'm not relying on that stupid gimmick puppet lock or any "locks" for that matter.

In the OCG we still have EXPULSION at 3
I play this deck for 4 years now and since I bought it it’s been meta
can we play evenly match ?
You should do chimera branded on masterduel its so fun

Galzo, The moustache is tier 0
More of this 🙌
Imo the untapped is a better source for teirs and what not
It's definitely not dead but all these Branded cards being limited has been mad annoying especially in Chimera
I could run just 3 of the structure deck and still do well lol
Branded is forever!
Until Branded Fusion gets banned, no
also Tear

Can you not make Konami go ‘hold my beer’… Ocg and master duel nerf the hell out of branded. And they are clearly not topping
Unpopular opinion I'm sure
But master duel will forever be the worst example of any format, period
not unpopular at all the game is bad
I know how to hit branded hard
Rest in peace Albaz
Is die your plays are easy
Somebody kill this deck already it had been around for way to long let some new decks take its place
Bruh branded has been dead. It’s literally just puppet lock or bust now
Unban everything ban Mirrorjade and Albion maybe Mirror at 1
then say hello to the tier 2/rouge deck.
