I am jealous, but there is definitely room for sp in branded synchro

Soon we'll have to learn to read. Lol

Take out branded fusion and you're good to go😂

Bro BF is full turn lock, you ain’t getting sp turn 1 😂

I actually figured it out. So if you can special summon aluber,quem, or cartesia with albaz in hand you can get sp little knight before you activate branded fusion its not a reliable play but it's definitely a good back up plan, kind of like the way verte is on masterduel for the deck. It's even using the same materials

Super poly I always at least have in the side, I go back and forth on it being main decked because the card is either the most broken thing ever or completely useless. Droplet is cool but I want imperm to hopefully stop things like Turbulence/Purelyly/etc on my opponents turn in the event I’m going second

the border sleeves were restocked recently on sleevechief.de/en so i got them there. they may be sold out now but theyre always restocking and making new stuff it seems. heard about it from galzo

A lot of that comes down to your side deck realistically. Tri-heart is much easier to out with things like sending Malong to grave via Granguignol to bounce it back or using it as material for super poly since its dark. Noir is much harder but in the matchup I usually will side things that will prevent them from making it in the first place. If you can bait some materials and then hit over it with Titaniklad thats cool since he is unaffected by extra deck monsters, but that can be hard with the attack/defense boost Noir gets initially. Stuff like there can be only one can leave purrely with their first monster while not hurting Branded at all if you go first, and droll can be solid depending on the purrely players hand. Imperm is great too on the purelyly as a general rule. Kaijus are always a solid option against these monsters too in the side should you choose to run them

the standard i have seen is 2-3 thrust, 1 talent, and 1 fusion duplication. essentially the plan is to thrust to set fusion duplication after branded fusion is ashed. fusion duplication targets branded fusion in grave to copy its effect and fusion duplication itself cannot be ashed doesnt help going second too much but in that case youd probably rather have talent anyways. if i owned thrust i would test it a lot more online, but i just dont like practicing with cards that i wont realistically own in the near future

@@YamiElut Fair.

If you do have thrust, I'd try it out. Like Yami said, the standard ratio is 3 thrust + 1 talet and 1 duplication. I'd also say if you're playing duplication, super poly package is a must as duplication can also copy super poly. The thrust package allows you to have a more diverse side deck as you can put one copy of a card in your side while essentially having "4 copy of it" in your deck. It's also pretty good going second as you can bait negates or interuptions before searching branded fusion. I personally prefer thrust online but don't use it IRL cause I'm too poor for the thrust IRL lmao.

@@justinfournier2521 It also duplication also doesn't apply cost, just effect which is nice. Thanks for the input.

No, fusion substitutes can only be used as substitutes from hand, field, and grave. The light hex sealed fusion from the deck cannot count as Albaz, same as versago or any other similar monster

@@YamiElut didn't know, thanks 👍
