It took much longer than I'd expected tho......yet it's such an amazing deck to learn and play, I hope I can become as good as the branded deck could potentially offer.

Right now branded feels nice to play, although things might go sideways rapidly once Dominus Impulse is released LOLOL

Going 2nd with branded feels really nice given how its engine could synergise with certain board breakers. I personally think that superpoly is actually better to use with albaz to gain access to the branded engine, instead of only using the opponent's monsters. Droplets is also useful in the event of a mirrorjade got placed as a continuous spell.

card choices&ratios: fusion deployment and branded opening are extremely weak into monster negate hand traps due to the fusion lock in which case you can't even go for the verte plan B. So i run fewer copies of both. opening tho is sometimes sent to the GY blindly for its pop protection so having more than 1 copy is good. Ash is versatile and it's always good to be able to negate maxx c. fuwa is not that great but I take it as a 3rd maxx c. Banishment is more for recursion althogh it could sometimes fuse into proskenion. the tightness of the extra deck is really beyond redemption, but prosk could also be replaced by dragostapelia.

This month's set rotation involves this branded deck and one exodia deck. Branded is such a stamina-draining deck to play continually so I decided to incorporate a buffering deck that has a relatiely simpler core/engine, right now exodia is a great choice for this purpose LOLOL.

The exodia deck:

2 of the most recent 3 replays are of branded. The mirror match I lost was actually much more entertaining than the other game (although that one was not too bad either, in that game I went 2nd into a big snake-eyes board without resolving my dark ruler)

Classic Branded with a small Kashtira package.

Mostly used for making 2 body for a Anaconda start. For example if you read that opponent has ash timing when you start with Albion/Aluber/High Spirit.

Taking the Kashtira + 1 for the Anaconda is super powerful. Especially when your opponent also enables your triple thrust then you can search for Fusion Duplication

Notes: (updated on 18/03/2025)

I decided to play a 40 card build due to the impact of the Fiendsmith cards. I wanted to take as much advantage of handtraps as possible and also access my outs to them more often.
I play 10 handtraps. I like board breakers too, but I still prefer handtraps.
"Droll": Great tech versus Fuwalos and Maxx C. It's good going 1st or 2nd. It can also be discarded by BiHS to search the card you need from deck.
"Alba-Lenatus": it's a sacky ace card to get rid of big boards with omni negate dragon monsters, it catches most people offguard if you set FoA and just tag fusion into it. Its grave eff is good to add Brafu from deck to hand too.
"Dragostapelia": It's a very good card versus Tenpai and also a good option of fusion when opp banishes Albaz from grave while you're resolving Red Albion eff. It's also nice to fuse when resolving Branded Banishment.
