Search galzo branded academy your welcome

That’s a crazy ass first deck to return to, how’s your understanding of the deck going so far?

Glad you like the vids, and I absolutely will make more finer details about a number of things like Retribution, the Bystials, etc and Branded in White I recently brought back and is one of my favorites As for gimmick puppet, I’m not opposed to talking about it but full transparency I dont even play it because I just find it really boring. Luckily plenty of other youtubers have talked about the puppet lock at length though

This is 100% true, should have specified Opening for Aluber when talking Droll. Thats my b

i feel similarly about a lot of informational yugioh content, it seems a lot of times they assume that everyone already knows the basics of why or how something happens when a lot of times thats not true. really glad to see that the way i explain things is helpful to people

It is, every interaction is different and you gotta have an out somehow with what you got in your hand. Which makes it frustrating when you do a whole combo verbatim, then you dont know what to do with the rest of your hand and you either dont play optimally or get slapped during your opponent’s turn because you couldve done something to prevent missplays. Whats even more exhausting is theres always new cards to optimally play the deck while youre learning the old combos and you just sit there and wonder how to integrate the new style of play with the old which makes piloting the deck even more complicated. Dont get me wrong, I love the way this deck gets so flexible with plays but with lack of instruction its like having a swiss army knife and only using the toothpick because youre only comfortable with THAT tool out of the whole thing haha

Definitely possible, but I would be starting with the decks I personally play first ofc

The reason i say this is because one time i superpoly one noble knigth player but don't have a way to add brande fusion, i fusion using albaz + garura make mirrojade and draw one card

Albaz says “using monsters on either field as Fusion Material, including this card, but you cannot use other monsters you control as Fusion Material” Its worded weirdly but Albaz cannot fuse using himself and another monster of yours via his summon effect.

Thats a new one for me haha I've never seen that

@@YamiElut it also chain blocks the Albion summon 👀 though it rly only plays around ogre or belle. Also can eat an ash, if your opponent uses it there like a big silly billy

If Mirrorjade was summoned by the effect of Lubellion, Granguignol's effect to banish itself and summon a monster would have to go on the chain first before quick effects because it is a trigger effect. So on the summon of Mirrorjade, Granguignol will activate and banish itself since banishing itself is the cost and happens on activation. Mirrorjade's effect to banish would be too late to catch Grang in this example. Hope that helps

@@YamiElut thank you for replying, very helpful indeed! Keep up the good work ^^

Definitely making a sequel vid to this one about some other stuff including other albaz fusions Glad you enjoyed the vid

In short, you can build branded in a lot of ways based on your personal preferences. More specifically though builds tend to fall into a couple categories based on philosophy: Nadir servant: if we get ashed, we go for max follow up/playing on opponents turn Crossout: we protect our best card Chimera: we have 2 big ash targets and our opponent can only hit 1 anyway Synchro: we play cards that dont lock us into fusion plays for max versatility Where you find yourself on that spectrum will lead you to different cards (dis pater/lulu in synchro, nadir servant w/possible maximus but not required, higher bystial count + regained and beast as examples) Im a big fan of masquerade so i play him, but i think hes either a full go or not at all. Not really worth a side deck only slot imo. Alba lenatus is a perfect side card because its crazy against dragon link and near useless against most other matchups Super poly is similar which is why i side deck it. Depending on the matchup super poly is either useless and loses card advantage for no reason or absolutely decimates and theres really no in between

Updated description

Mercourier + Tragedy

Correct, if Rindbrumm is sent to the grave by Mirrorjade he cannot catapault himself back to the field. It really is for resummoning Albaz from grave to fuse with an opponents monster as disruption. Its not the main play usually, but along with Quem reborning Albaz it is a way to make Mirrorjade if you couldn’t before or if something happened to the first one. If you already have a Mirrorjade, often times I will use Albaz to fuse into something else (whether it be Albion/Lubellion if the other monster is a light or dark, and any monster with 2500 atk or more can fuse into Titaniklad)

Another thing worth mentioning is in my current build I can only make Rindbrumm with Albaz and my one Mercourier since I cut Springans Kitt, so if I make Rindbrumm I don’t easily get the Mercourier effect from hand. In a build with Springans Kitt it is more worthwhile to make Rindbrumm and still be able to search Mercourier from Branded Lost

Monster negates (like Apollousa or Baronne de Fleur) and cards like ash blossom & joyous spring can only negate the chain link directly below them. Cards like imperm and e-veiler require the player using them to target a face up monster on the opponents field. Meaning that veiler and imperm are still able to target aluber despite the chain link above him. The chain will resolve like this: CL3: Imperm/veiler targets the face up Aluber and negates its effects for the rest of the turn CL2: Tragedy searches a Despia and adds to the hand CL1: Aluber attempts to search, but has been previously negated by imperm and fails The reason book of moon saves aluber from imperm is that imperm will no longer be able to target the face up aluber on field, meaning it will fail to negate the card

@@YamiElut Thank you very much, now i get the wording „targeted and non-targeted“. That was quite helpful, very nice video, keep up the good work my friend! I‘ve also finally completed my Branded Despia deck with the reprint of Lubellion and Cartesia. But I‘m still Not sure which build would be more fun. The one with Dogmatika Maximus and Nadir or the Crossout build? I‘ve just got my hands on a playset of „Duality“ so I would like to play it…

@@Firehand_Dubst3p that really does come down to personal preference I think, I enjoyed both nadir and crossout builds but in the end crossout I just happen to like better. Any version of branded is fun to lab though

Correct, it is a part of the cards effect to discard

@@YamiElut did not know that, makes it even better now that I do 🤯

@@YogiLocz When discard is a cost, it's in front of a semicolon ; , any text before the ; specifies the the cost/targetting at the activation of a card. like fallen of albaz, super poly

I feel you, thats pretty much what keeps me from playing master duel (along with having immense hatred for maxx c lmao)
