To elaborate. Use the mirrorjade first, then fuse it away

@@SuperInsaiyan18 you still cant use cartesia and mirrorjade to summon dragostapelia since it needs a dark monster and a fusion monster

@@rathalos28able you don't use cartesia as material. You use her eff to fuse mirrorjade and dusk dragon

​@SuperInsaiyan18 in the video you used it as material, honest mistake I think people.sre just giving you trouble for

Do you have a deck list so I can play test

One fusion and one dark monster

But you can use the already used mirrorjade :) as the dark monster. The only difference will be, that Cartesia will be banished and not come back after using branded in red.

@@te-jay6058yeah bc ad lib doesn’t require the fusion/despia to be part of the same fusion Ad lib was used in

You can actually just use Cartesia's own effect to summon her during your end phase because a fusion monster was sent to your GY this turn (Albion the branded was tributed for bystial lubellion)

@@kuzidas4213 No. Cartesias' own effect is only add her to your hand, not summon her as Quem does.

@@alejandrom. goddammit you’re right. My bad ):

Aluber search branded fusion (hope none of them don’t get hand trapped) activate branded fusion dump albaz and (depending on what you’re playing against) summon Albion or lubellion then mirrorjade.

Friendly advice, try to prepare for interruptions, things can go south if you’re unprepared. Always helps me :)

2 most important things. Use Albion line to get the best boards. Albion lines are able to get branded lost on the field. Use Lubellion to get a less powerful board much safer. Lubellion’s line is very good at using chain blocking to get its effects off.

Yup, it's an easy way to get another fusion needed or a live mirrorjade if used once already. I agree, it has more potential than locking as you can revive ANYthing

@@ManegedWarrior seriously tho, some of the branded traps are absurd. I'm working with sword right now to try and have a whole lot more flexibility with Albion when I'm dumping lubellion from deck. However the naming conventions on this deck are incomprehensible. We need more fusions so all the Bystial cards can be confusing

sad, sad our expulsion is gone

The archetype has ways to play around all of those handtraps if you build correctly. Droll doesn't matter because you can play in the draw phase or end phase. Nibiru doesn't matter because you have so many ways to play on the opponent's turn after stopping at summon number 4 or just playing in the end phase. Gamma hits the field, just summon iron dash with gamma. Veiler or imperm can be dodged with any of the fusion effects. Handtraps don't suck for branded any worse than other decks. You just have to know what resources are available to use around them.

@@FobbitMedic I agree with everything you just said, but from my experience its just easier to do that with the standard version of the deck. I find that you can't play around a lot of the stated hand traps with the keeper build as effectively. In general, you have to play into those hand traps without any backup more often.

​@@donaldmiller2437 the keepers build is just for higher seeling,it's not good against handtraps. I , for one , prefer playing with bystials and étude to Syncro on opponents turn to protects myself against evenly matched specifically without playing dragoon. Also you don't have to play ad lib because it doesn't do anything in the hand other than being discard fodder, something mercurier,the counter trap and shrouded and other such cards are better at being

Appreciate it! Welcome to the Squad!

I mean, end on etude, a bystial and one of our 3 tuners and that's it. Synchro at a good time and profit.

You can't active deployment in the draw phase. He did it that way to play around droll which is extremely popular this format

I mean, doesn't that apply to pretty much any normal summon starter? Getting Droll'd after normal summoning Aluber hurts just as bad. What would you replace it with that wouldn't be susceptible to interruption???

Oops! I was bulk recording in prep for a family member having surgery and me not being able to record for a while. Definitely had other things on my mind 😅. The combos still stand

@@SuperInsaiyan18 no worries thought it was funny 🙃

1. You already used the quem effect to reborn cartesia on your turn so you won't get the mirrorjade reborn if you fuse for granguignol with it on the same turn 2. You play into nibiru with cartesia as your 5th summon which gains no advantage to summon in your main phase in this combo for the reason in the first point If you opened with lost in hand you also lose out on a second search

This video was made when droll was in the format. Opening was first to do it in draw and play around droll

Summoning counts as leaving the extra deck. Summon dusk dragon means quem can activate

@@SuperInsaiyan18I see now! That’s insane 🤯🤯 Great vid btw

@@JosephSmith-ri5bx thank you! I always appreciate the compliments!

If you have cartesia on field when you normal summon alluber: If they attempt to imperm or veiler alluber, chain cart to fuse and use alluber as material. This removes alluber from the field before imperm/veiler has a chance to negate it. They can only negate monsters face up on the field. If alluber isn't on field, the imperm/veiler resolve without effect and you still search off alluber

Correct

@@SuperInsaiyan18 thxxxx

In the combos where I activate a quick play in the end phase its not set. Albion has the option to set OR add to hand. I add the quick play and then activated it

@@SuperInsaiyan18 ahhhhh, I see. Thank you for that. 😊

The best side deck depends on what you see on your locals!

I used each of it's effs once. It has 2 effects both of which are usable once per turn

Ohhh so you can use them both in the same turn 😮😮 wow I am a patato😂😂 😂

I could of won a few locals matches if I had known that

Please read the pinned comment

Lol what… in your scenario… how would you go full combo after getting drolled that also doesn’t apply to keeper??? Normal Aluber only search for branded cards… Normal keeper search for branded fusion, fusion deployment or instant fusion. Again with 4 cards in hand to help play

@@Dooms_Day_King if you search for branded fusion with keeper then youre basically playing a bad aluber. the primary reason to play keeper is for those other cards like instant fusion. if youre gonna play round droll anyways then i wouldnt bother at least However i can see the appeal, keepers ceiling is very high

@@avatarmufasa3628 the primary reason to play keeper is to search whichever card you need based on your hand… same with Aluber… if you already have fusion, you just search for lost… it literally all depends on your opponent, the board state and your hand…

@@Dooms_Day_King The primary reason to play it was to have 4 copies of instant fusion to help play round ash. If you play keeper and dont have branded fusion in hand then you have to choose between playing round the ash or playing round droll (and i suspect youll play round the latter this format). And youve dedicated 3 additional normal summons and a discard to do so, along with a bigger engine and thus less room for non-engine (which matters a lot for the current meta, it means youll have less handtraps or less boardbreakers). And the persons comment at the top is a reasonable critique of running keeper. You are more vulnerable to some handtraps than in a pure build. The counter argument is the higher capacity to play round ash and just a higher ceiling with less known cards in hand To be clear i think this is a great video, i like the first combos without keeper. but the ones with keeper i dont think are appropriate (or more specifically optimal) for the current meta, even though i think in a combo video they look very impressive. In practice, we have to take on the top decks and I think decks should be built with those in mind.

@@avatarmufasa3628 I definitely see your side. I guess to me it’s like this… I used to work for Walmart, and they would make us build “wow features” basically displays that the market manager loved from other stores. But when I would try to build a “wow feature” to impress my market manager, I was told to bring it down… idk if that makes sense… how can you build a wow feature if they don’t let you build a wow feature? It’s the same with yugioh… players don’t play the cards until someone decides to try them out, but then don’t try them out with the fear of losing… it’s like a paradox if you will

Branded lost

Mercourier mentions Fallen of albaz thats why you can add it

No, its not better tbh

It depends on your locals and matches…

this channel has a ton of good branded information. i tested keeper last format and it was really good, but this format i dont think so. keeper makes a lot of low impact hand traps a lot more effective. if you do decide to play keeper you absolutely have to play crossout and impermanence b/c imperm on keeper is brutal.

@@itchigo3245 imperm on Aluber is bad too… handrtraps stop a lot of decks in general

Read pinned comment please

Thanks 😅

For higher ceiling and better play around ash. "The stronger you want your endboard to be the harder you have to play into handtraps" is an universal Yu-Gi-Oh law

@@raykirushiroyshi2752 it doesn't really play around ash tho, you just give more targets and ur more likely to run into a droll than ash.

That's cute, chain crossout calling ash. Response?

It's almost like Branded Despia biggest core play is using Branded Fusion, of which there's literally only 3 cards you can go into right away. And among those three cards, it's not like there's limited af fusion material or something.
