Combo video would be awesome, as a returning player it can be kind of overwhelming getting my footing with a decks lines so having an experienced grinder of the deck go over the common lines and how to achieve them etc is incredibly helpful

Hey galzo, appreciate your videos a lot! Can you please make a separate video where you show us the combos? Thank you! I think it is much needed! :)

Given that your Extra Deck is all fusions, if you sleeved it in Yellow sleeves it will highlight even more the purple of the fusion monsters way more than black ones.

I've been playing 45+ card Branded on MD and it honestly feels much better than a clean 40. I think it's the way to play the deck moving forward.

I am two weeks late, so you probably wont see it, but i really appricate this type of deckprofile. Actually understanding your thoughts behind choices is such a nice break from the avarage "i play this card because its broken" deckprofiles i often see.

Finally someone else sees the uses of the last branded trap. Free resource and full field negate.

I really enjoy these longer in depth discussions!

I love how you play the deck with a high IQ! I played it for such a long time, I just keep learning new lines and the interruptions you can make. Good luck on the regional 💪🏽

I miss a lot the branded videos, I love this video too much, excellent explanation ❤❤

Love the in-depth branded build 🔥🔥🔥

I still run Kitt because theres a combo there the search is "for free", if You can set up windbrumm and mirrorjade you summon activate its effect- activate mirrorjade to send a card from ED - chain windbrumm to negate it - return Kitt to hand - negate mirrorjade ( so you can use its effect still next turn ) - get the Kitt search on resolution and shuffle back the Kitt into the deck instead of the other cards in hand.

Love these in-depth videos! I've been messing around with branded ever since DAMA, and always enjoy seeing a more down to basic build like this one. I will still die on the hill that Dramaturge is a good extender, chain-blocker and free monster negate and I always include it in my own builds, but I get why so few people play it because it can be a brick at times.

Haven’t played YGO in a year but I have most of this already and this video helped me get back into it

Great list Galzo, just a little question, how do we deal with RACE going second with this list? I know you play cosmic on the side, but I feel like if you don't run handtraps you need something like Evenly Matched or Lightning Storm.

Awesome in depth video. I would love an updated extensive combo guide

Always down for a branded video. Would love to see some combo videos and maybe even a MD deck list. Either way amazing video and love the content

Hi Galzo, just wanted to say you’re doing amazing and that I love your content. Cheers mate 🍻

Hey Galzo, your videos are really appreciated! You can make longer videos we'll watch 😁 Can you make a MD version, s8nce there are many hits there, with combos and tips

31 minute gang. I'd really like to see your take on a current Branded MD build, especially after the SHS release. I'm doing 45 cards right now over there as well.

so funny i was thinking about playing branded king, and u post this 💪🏽

Hey Galzo! Great deck profile as always! I would appreciate if you made a video showing the combos for as newbie branded players! 😁

Great content. Wouldn't you say that Kitt might have a case use with Branded Lost + Thrust > Fus Dup > Kitt on the next turn to get back the Branded Fusion from banished? Of all my matches I've done this alot.

Fair question here, if you play droplet as a board breaker, why not prefer it DRNM ? Is there a particular reason (as pure breaker, cause of course droplet is a quick spell and thus can also be used to block opponent during his plays) ?

Bro has earned my sub again this decklist is spicy and I been saying branded is a sleeper pick this format rn

Great deck profile man! Branded is my main deck that I love to play competitively.

My ulti alubers and branded fusions don’t look as nicely textured as these ones. They look clean! Great video.

For someone who doesn't have access to Thrust, what would change for the deck profile if I wanted to take it to a locals? I have the Chimera core as wel.

I love the full gas decklist, 3 albions and 3 droplets. are you confident in this list with bonfire, populus and rollback coming tho. Feels like a well timed main Ash or Droll will hit harder than droplet. And albion can play hard into droll itself which should be very popular.

You got to go with the full 60 card deck on MD But if you do you gotta play the board break approach. No hand traps besides Maxx C. I tried the old 60 card with Maxx C mini game and hand trap stuff. That’s why I tried 40 ish cards because I wanted to see them more. Then 60 card with them and it didn’t feel right because I made the deck bigger without seeing the cards. If you go first you can play through more than you think with hand trap counters. If you play correctly you can dodge targeting effects. And ash won’t kill you. You can still set up reasonably under Maxx C but i run called by just for ash and Maxx C Imo the frightful package is too good. I tried playing without it because I saw a lot of tournament winning decks not running it but made all the different. The amount of gas it gives you going second is insane. It’s still great going first. If you gain block chimera you can break a lot of boards including snake eyes. Plus the resources it gives you is insane. To discard. Or with kit putting a patchwork back in deck after you use the first to extend into branded white or red. It’s insane. But again you gotta play board breakers. I tried super poly. It’s fine but I’d rather not allocate my tight extra deck for super poly targets. I found droplets is slightly better because I can more reliably dodge stuff and spend different resources that are floating. Super poly needs a lot of setup because the right cards need to be on the board. Usually 2-3 droplets. 3 tactics. One talents. Frightful package. And branded engine is enough to break a lot of boards.

amazing list man, would you suggest an alternative to thrust or simply remove it from decklist?

What about handtraps? I don't really follow with the format change and what not. I don't even know where to find those informations so I really have no idea how I should build my deck for. Apparently last time they were really heavy on them? Why

While I enjoy the build, I would like to suggest running Duality. Tributing Aluber can get Herald of the Arc Light and Bystial Lubellion can get Borrreload Furious Dragon. I only run one in my build right now, but it has never been a brick in my testing. Don't know if you've considered this, but it's been working well for me.

any thoughts on using the new yubel cards in branded despia? I think the trap and the fusion would be a nice addition to the deck, but personally I would like to use yubel in a fusion focused strategy.

have you tested the version of the deck taht runs allure of darkness and 2/3x tragedy mercourier? think it's too bricky? it sounds really good on paper when you draw right but awful when you draw poorly

Great Deck Profile. Would like to see some great Combos from this deck in a new video.

Where I can buy that mat?

If i dont have thrust can i still play the nadir package, is it good enough?

Im pretty new to the branded despia deck and I’ve been out for a while. What would you recommend ILO the Thrust?

So jealous of Branded Despia having such a healthy amount and quality of support cards. Should be the standard for all decks.

LOL The plasma joke was well delivered.

Something Ive always struggled with isn't making the side deck, but know what cards from the main to side out... What are the usual targets to side out going 2nd?

A very nice deck profile with great expanations I see your point and I play branded 2 years now I rarely lose a mirror match and I would just reccomend you play one copy of branded banishment since it hits a lot of decks is searchable and special summons while acting as a super poly for example fire kings hate to get cards banished and lastly I believe dragoon still keeps value but should not be forced he should actually be played when your hand can support it or go plus with the discard still I loved your list and enjoyed the time you put in explaining why it is a great way to play the deck. May we duel one day hahah

It is such a shame with Dragoon being power-crept out. It was my go-to turn 3 in my 60-card build. Ty-Phon is just such a good out now. I think 45+ is the way to go for Branded moving forward, guess I gotta get those TT Thrusts

Where can I get this playmat.

Branded In High Spirits: What is my purpose? Galzo: You're discard fodder for Albaz's effect. Branded In High Spirits: Oh my God...

I only have 2 thrust, any recommendations to replace the third thrust?

I will never get over how boosted your rarities are😂 Dope deck tho🤘🏻

Hey there Galzo! I love this Deck Profile but what would you say should/could I play if I have no Thrust in my possession? I currently run Crossout Designator + Ash, Veiler and Imperm. What would you recommend with your stance against handtraps?

nice video! btw side question, do you think branded despia gets support in the future ?

New watcher here, I'm still playing the older branded despia deck, very close to your budget build! However, I don't have granguignol (yet), but I do have 3 cartesias, would it be worth it to play cartesia without granguignol for the time being, or should I just leave her out until I have granguignol?

I'm not a fan of handtraps in the side. My side is a mostly for going second with some cards really good going first. 2 evenly (vs lab and Rescue), 3 spellbound (vs flowderezee, snake-eyes, mirrormatch), 2 cosmic cyclon (for the fire king field spell, flowndereeze field spell, anti-spell), 1 feather duster (vs voiceless, flowndereeze, rescue, lab), 2 iron thunder (going first is good to have both a negation and destruction, with all the decks like snake eyes, centurion, lab, voiceless that have multiple traps or continous spells it's almost guaranteed to destroy something), 1 druidswurm and 1 magnamuth (not good enough for main deck, often you have few resources in the gy you would like to banish), jinzo (to reborn with sanctifire, worst case tribut summoning it over Albion or Cartesia, basically auto win vs Lab and stunn decks), 2 gravekeeper's incription (if your hand gives you a field that can play around this card's effect, it is sometimes auto win vs some matchups even when used going first and is really good going first and second vs snake eyes).

Hi! i have a question : How do u play throught shifter ? its my big problemes every time i want to build a differents branded list where i say to me " fuck this package die on shifter" i know if i can resolve brafu its not a big deal but sometimes we have some hands with no brafu or easy acces ( like aluber/opening ) and for this reason im keeping playing crossout even i want to cut it Secondly : Are u not affraid about deck who dont die on board breaker or heavy combo for no HT ? Keep it up personaly i like this type of video for learn more about branded

I know I'm running a little late, but how do you think it would feel without the Thrust package? I can't afford it and probably still won't with the MZMI print, so if I cut the Thrust pack entirely out, would you say these ratios are still worthwhile? I've been playing Branded Despia kind of non-committed as I was looking for a solid Deck to call my primary, but I really think this is it, I get the best results, the most engaging games, and I don't feel like I'm stuck tuning out of the Duel with nothing to do on the opponent's turn like I did with Scareclaw and Marincess.

Instead of druiswurm in the side I play shifter because I’m still on dragoon so you can just shifter them plus put up a dragoon and that’s pretty strong

Question : is Blazing Branded King good? I think this one is like a double edged sword (i mean a literal double edged sword not the equip spell one) maybe i need more flight time with this one

would it be worth playing 2 thrust and playing 44?

Do you have a previous video where you explain the importance of quaeritis? Or do you mind elaborating on why you always regret cutting it?

Real ones know to play goddess with the third eye instead of Dark magician. It also works as a light attribute for Albion and it can count as blazing cartesia to get you into your Granguignol without actually expending a real copy of your blazing cartesia! Ps. Love your videos Galzo. You keep the branded army going

Hey Galzo, Ive tested your deck on edo pro but I’m wondering why there is no Branded Banishment. I mean it works without but it could work with it too.

So glad I stumbled across you again, and specifically this list. I was getting really bored and frustrated with how Branded was playing and it was sucking the fun out of the game for me, especially since I don’t really have the funds to invest in new cards at the moment. This list has made me want to cook again. Seriously, thank you for making this.

Where did you get the mat

Really hoping Thrusts go down a lot in prices soon with reprinting

Why can't you activate Granguignol after a bystial hits you? Does the bystial effect not activate in the hand?

Man the video is great , just see your deck full rarity make me so jealous man. When the hell i can have those :(.

I don't understand the importance of Quaeritis since you also run Masquerade, could you elaborate plz? There are very niche cases where it's useful at least in my experience with the deck. About High Spirits, it's arguably the most versatile card in the deck. The way you describe it, Branded King could be better in its place for your playstyle, but I'm in love with subtle interactions like Albion send for cost + chain High Spirits reveal that Albion where the opponent will never Ash Albion but have Droll ready and instead of going for a random draw I just add Cartesia that can be Special Summoned (or Quem if no BraFu) and extend my plays. Sending the revealed card is optional too so you get the Fusion mill for free anyway.

how do you summon the guardian chimera ? cant use branded dragon or super poly

I just got 2nd place at my locals using branded despia. 3-1 😈 60 card too.

Do you like allure of darkness, Superpoly, Foolish burial or Gold Sarc in this deck?

galzo need a vid that shows off how to play under branded lost

is branded banishment not better than branded in red?

Where’d you get that playmat?

Wouldn't titaniklad go off before your opponent brings littleknight back? making you miss timing with albaz?

@13:37 oh NAW, if that happens to me watch me send one of them back to deck off Lubellion, AIN'T NO WAY 😂

Hey @galzo what would you replace if you can’t get trust?

BRANDED IS BACK BABY!!

I play this as budget as possible because I’m not dropping $40+ on a single card and want to it to be competitive but also wallet friendly lol any tips?

Loved all of it.

Are there substitutes for tactics talent snd thrusts?

Why druidsworm don’t see as much play on main deck as the other bystials lately? It’s literally the one bystial I hate the most with its broken: “send” it’s more threatening to me than any other bystial

Second and I got to say, thank you for this. You are a branded blessing.

What is the mat in the background?

need dragoon!!!!!! my most common board is when i have dragoon and 2 or 3 mirrorjade activations

I see people run thrust but like never explain what to do Example: BF gets ash, use thrust get f dupe, op turn use dupe= mirrorjade at best and nothing at worst? I need someone to explain why fusion dupe for at best a mirror mirrorjade is better than just crossout? (Thrust its self is amazing tho, just confused why people keep saying dupe is you're ash out)

Good luck on your upcoming events. I hope you don’t get anti spelled or dimensional barriered sir.

Thoughts on adding DPE engine?

Am I insane or did you just forget to mention why you didn’t play Beast or Regained? I’d love to know your reasoning, I’m toying around with my build again after watching this. I previously ran a 45 card build with no magna, no gold sarc, 2 Quem, side decked super poly, and crossout + ash + Imperm and Talents (no $$ for thrust), and while I had great success with it at locals, it always felt like something was missing

Why no Fenrir? I play it in my list and it helps so much

I feel like deployment at 3 is kinda bricky i would rather play another high spirits

What would you suggest to do if you can't afford triple tactics thrust?

thank you for this, i'm trying to get my wife back into the game and since the nerf to mathmech, we were looking at getting her back in with Branded.

I'm probably late but any reason you're not running ash blossom and infinite impermanence

I really want to listen to you, but every time i see the price of Thrust, my wallet starts crying.

Great video my G

Video branded vs meta 2024, with your build of curse.

Thank you!

How much starlight/collector rares ? nice profile and nice shiny deck 😂.

Hey is your playmate can be bought? It's really pretty

Will never understand why people sleep on nadir servant

Deck list for MD S25?

Guys trust me: dragooner autowin against firekings
