Becoming a Deck-Building Master | Branded Academy EP.3 

I LOVE how you organized the content galzo, clearer than water. Keep going (and tell me more about the importance of dragoon)

I finally got around to watching the branded lore “movie” I love it so much. Thank you for fully explaining it. I always saw the art, but I had trouble putting it all together. This has fully cemented it as my favorite lore and archetype. Thanks a lot!

The main problem with Masquerade is that he is not a Despia monster.

Springans Kitt is still a card I like in this deck, works as a slightly worse 4th Aluber that can special summon from hand if you meet the requirements, which aren’t hard

Great vid. Personally I usually main kaijus because i run into kash so much. I really feel that 3 dark kaijus and 3 allure is the move rn.

I have legit been learning branded just from your videos honestly really helpful, thanks❤

14:15 right bottom corner. That little sneaky chimera ;)

For me, branded banishment is much more relevant and useful compared to branded in red. Often times I don’t have a despia or albaz in the grave, but the majority of time I’ve a fusion monster.

Yeah! Branded Academy is back post-banlist!

Excited to see the new and updated builds for this format! Need to see how we're going to be navigating and answering Kash, Labyrinth, and Spright this format!

9:09 Yes, there’s a very good reason. And that reason is called „Maxx C“.

Bro call me crazy but I cut branded fusion. And opening and Lubellion. Was sick of being strapped to fusion summoning and it still works great. I don’t even play fusion deployment. It feels better honestly. High spirits, red, and white do more than enough to get any branded board I want.

I been on TTThrust and fusion duplication rn. Get ashed on branded fusion? Just fusion on your opponent’s turn. Plus if you resolve it and can activate TTThrust/ duplication, there’s nothing more depressing for your opponent then you bringing out dragoon on their turn

damn dude, your rarities are sweet for this deck!

Perefect timing, im currently trying to master the deck while getting it all max rarity. Love the content man! Keep it up!

Really suprised you didn't mention ad'libitum. I can never put myself to cut it. It's so good. Alongside quem you can bring mirrorjade twice on your opponent's turn

Ad Libitum is the best card in Branded Despia to me. Dump him off Granguinol on opponents turn and you've got potentially the triple Mirrorjade combo. I have two builds. One is all gas and runs 45 cards and runs Proskenion who's just nasty, and the other is a Bystial heavy build that tries to utilize Chaos Angel and Dis Pater. Both are fun but if/once Branfu gets hit the Bystials will be key. A spicy Super Poly target could also be Triphyhoveritum.

This is the key to my wins for the future!!😍 i lost so many games if i go second… thats very annoying… and i dont know which line i should take if i go first. Most of the time i try to get dragoon on the field if dont know what my enemy plays. But it feels not the right way because its not really brandish…

Maybe I"m on pure copium but i've had really, really good success with branded synchro on DB. I think its the best build. Chaos angel is way too good in this format and the turn 3 clap back with dis pater is completely ridiculous if you know how to play it. Etude is a nasty floodgate, regained is as good as ever (especially the synergy with etude), and beast is just so clutch. Also shitting on rogue is always fun, drytron, mathmech, etc are all just turbo stomped. the bystial engine doesn't feel clunky at all and works extremely well with additions like quem, and the fact that the bystials synergize so heavily with the strategy makes them feel so perfect in the deck. You can also go full cheese and play the mathmech synchro which is insanely easy to summon and play the do you have a kaiju game. Its really fun, and really strong IMO. Not to mention you could even still run the standard ad lib lines if you wanted, although I just cut it because I hardly ever found it better than setting up an etude line.

This video was amazing

with floowandereez in the format, you can add banshee and zombie World

Great video for someone just start learning to play this deck, like me :') . May I suggest a video on how we pilot this deck?

What about 1 scheiren? Let's you make 2 fusions at the same time with BF and also recycle important cards like Chimera. Also what about a higher bystial count ? 3 Lubellion, 3 magna, 1 druis, 1 Regained for infinite advantage. For me I would go: 1 Albaz, 1 Cartesia, 2 extra lubellion(3 in total), 3 magnamhut, 1 druis, 1 regained, 2 triple tactics and 3 nadir servant, 1 called by and 1 foolish burial. (16 in total).

rip brigrand you will never be forgotten 😭

Can't wait for the next class Sensei

Yesirs branded goat

I don't have access to either any of the Bystials, Cartesia or Quem So I went with, what I like to call, a F2P Branded mixed with one copy of each Tearlaments monsters (minus Reinohart) and Darklords to support the Despia monsters

Yeeeeeesssss ❤

Thank you.

I'd love to see your take on a branded DM deck.

I still love masquerade and I would've lost some games at my last regionals were I not on it. At one point I just used poly with 2 cards in hand and of course the guy let it go and then I chained masq in grave which just made for a chimera line he wasn't paying attention to. Even when I got dark rulered in game 3 my opp paying 1200 life points was the difference between a draw and a counted loss. I can't let it go :C

Is it optimal or even possible to end on a white Albion and Mirrorjade? I've never seen anyone go for both, at least on the same turn.

Still trying to figure out whether mentioning the second Granguignol twice was a meme or forgotten in post.

the 2nd Granguignol is a must with duality (if you use duality).

Hey Galzo. I’ve been thinking about putting Abyss Actor- Superstar in the deck. It’s great to completely lock your opponent from using spells and traps. Take a look and see what you think. 😊

So..... I was recently able to build another branded despia (was STOLEN at the start of the year) but i am still lacking cartesia and dusk dragon. I managed to open one Quem and one sanctified Dragon out of prize boosters. So, my question, fellow despians, is what the hell can i build with quem but wiouth a cartesia?

Will you be making a branded decklist with duality and shadows light?

can you make Branded darklord

You know, now that I look at it closer, isn't Borreload F Dragon just a weaker DPE?

Would you rate 40 card branded as the better version over 60 cards?

Omg where did you get that playmat

Bruhhh in master duel, Aluber is limited to two :(

Presents his "mandatory" list, and i disagree on the first item. I think aluber could be run at 2 in say keeper builds or even builds that run 2 quem to keep the normal summon count down. That being said, nice video idea. and most of these are relatively normal to put on

i personally find your mendatory deck nice but i dont find albion main deck monster mendatory its ok but not that busted

2 aluber is minimum not 3 as you now have quem and to reduce the normal summons in the deck I think 2 is ok.

How to play branded, do the gimmick lock or lose. This has been how to play branded.
