Stop Losing to Ash! NADIR SERVANT Takes Over Branded! 

An alternate combo that doesn't require branded in high spirits: nadir servant send titaniklad and add albaz. End phase titaniklad special quem, quem send cartesia to grave, and pass. When they summon from the extra deck, quem special cartesia, cartesia fuse with albaz in hand for albion, albion can fuse albaz and cartesia for dusk dragon if you want to go for quaeritis or luluwalilith, or albion can fuse with albaz and itself for mirrorjade. You also could have cartesia fuse quem and albaz (or cartesia and albaz) for sanctifire, then sanctifire can special albaz to your side and cartesia on their side, albaz fuse for albion, and then you can choose where to go from there. Or, since they already have an extra deck monster, albaz fuse with that for mirrorjade. These lines have much better card economy with more bodies and don't require you to play branded in high spirits, kitt, or sprind. I love nadir servant and used it with ecclesia and fleurdelis to recover from ash in previous formats. But it might be better in cyac format to use the 3 slots to play crossout or other hand traps since everyone will be on droll, gamma, ogre, etc.

We pray for no D-Shift

Nadir servant can also be used as extension which is even crazier.

That's a wild line that I'm surprised could lead to anything resembling interaction, but I think for me personally, It makes more sense to use crossout, and MAYBE instant fusion + millenium eyes if I want even more ability to play into ash beyond triple crossout and the 1 of called by. crossout does have its downsides, but it's also an extremely versatile card, especially in conjuction with a sideboard. Droll is becoming increasingly more common both in mains and SB, and Nibiru is still floating around just so Kash is forced to respect it and not zonelock 9 and pass every time they get to play first. Considering this deck folds to ALL THREE of those handtraps (maybe not nibiru if you play around it), I think crossout makes sense. I'm still gonna pick up this little nadir servant + branded in high spirits package though. You've changed my mind from "why the fuck would I play this in branded?" to "okay, this is actually kinda cool if you know how to cook right." Definitely gonna give it a try in some casual games to see what kinda plays I can come up with😁

Came across this when trying to decide between Nadir and Crossout. Nadir has come quite a ways since this, and can 1-card Gimmick Puppet lock if you play it and have built the extra deck to accommodate Nadir (basically fit a Bucephalus, Brigrand, and Luluwalilith). There are good 1, 1.5, and 3+ (Nadir + 2-3 anythings) card combos: - Nadir send Bucephalus, add Dogmatika Maximus - Bucephalus send Brigrand - Banish Bucephalus to summon Maximus - Maximus send Luluwalilith and either Albion (1-card) or Sprind (1.5-card) If you sent Albion: - EP Lulu summon Cartesia, Brigrand add or summon Albaz, Albion set Red. - Opponent's MP, Cartesia make Granguignol with Cartesia + Albaz, dump Puppet - Branded in Red target Albaz, summon Sanctifire with Albaz + Maximus - Sanctifire summon Puppet + Cartesia (1 card total) or Albaz (2 more discards for 3 total) Albaz can make Lubellion into Mirrorjade if you don't fear Evenly, or if you opened Fusion Deployment, you could have pulled DM from deck, Albaz can make Lubellion into Dragoon, or Lubellion into Albion into Dragoon If you send Sprind: - EP Lulu summon Quem, Quem dump Cartesia, Brigrand search Albaz, Sprind summon Kitt - Kitt search High Spirits, bottom deck second card - High Spirits with Albaz, dump Albion, discard Albaz, add Albion/Shrouded, Mercourier, or other - Quem revive Cartesia - Albion set Red - Opponent's MP, Cartesia fuse into Granguignol with Kitt, dump Puppet - Red make Sanctifire with Albaz + Maximus - Sanctifire summon Puppet and Cartesia (1.5 card combo), Kitt for another search (can bottom deck searched card), or Albaz to make Lubellion (searched + another or 2 additional for 3-4 total cards) into Mirrorjade - Quem can summon Cartesia, Albaz, or Kitt, or whatever you searched Albion & Lubellion plays leave you open to Evenly, however.

Definitely an interesting option. It's just that after thinking about my real life build a lot, I play the variant, I enjoy the most (not necessarily the strongest version). And that version contains quite a big bystial package. And since I already play those (and I don't like Spriggans Kitt that much), I don't want to fit this engine in my deck any more. But, I guess, if one wants to play on the highest competitive level, one should really strongly consider playing this engine. (It's just that I have totally forgotten, what other crazy things one can do with High Spirits. I think Yaccine had one or two videos about the High Spirits combos several months ago.)

Would love to see a Branded Despia Deck Profile that includes Nadir Servant and Branded in High Spirits. Awesome Video!

You should do the CYAC version of these lines with lulu. I'm not sure this alone as it is, can be enough to play over crossout. More so alongside it imo

Bro that was exactly tue Video i need to watch!

I've been using nadir servant + dogmatika maximus + shaddoll schism into winda on my opponents turn while also sending sprind, but I like this more as maximus can help the opponent

I love this deck, theres always a way to get what you need out

It works well in the deck, I've already ordered 3 😂

I’ve played branded predaplant before and yeah it’s really not as great as the combo lines would have you believe. Ambulo is a custom but branded really is like one brick in hand away from being unplayable most times and you really want to be normalling aluber

In my opinion with the keeper of the dragon magic and predaplants engine cards only 1 its a really a brick the anaconda, the bufolicula the pendulum monster is how a polymerization pendulum card each turn draw it not is too bad and the card adventage and can we summon dragon before the activation of the branded fusion is too strong, and all is before the fifth summon

Nadir servant -> any ED with plus eff -> take dogmatika maximus -> send 2 ED with pluses. 1 nadir servant resolution is scary.

This deck is so compcleted.

I saw some Decks that play Nadir but not BiHS instead they had two Despian Luluwalilith in the ED. Now i want to know how this line would go.

I feel like 3 nadir servant+ at least 1 kitt + at least 1 branded in high spirits has less upside than running 3 keeper+the 2 predaplant cards + instant fusion for only 1 more card in deck. Nadir servent is really only good when you have you fusion get ashed, but keeper + either branded fusion, deployment or instant fusion allows you access to dragoon before branded fusion avoiding you fusion getting ashed + ending on an indestructible untargetable omni negate. I feel like adding 6 cards for that would be better than adding 5 cards to just summon mirrorjade on your opponents turn.

Sales ban also can help

Why this doesn’t work in master duel? Everytime when I get BIHS in my hand with Kitt in the end phase, I can’t activate the spell?! Is this because of a ruling in OCG or does someone know why this doesn’t work in Master duel?

I feel like Cross-Out is still the better option, this requires you to play 3 Nadir, 1 High Spirits, and a Kitt. In the same situation, Cross-out is less bricky and ensures you get through the Ash. Still, this is a pretty neat option if you also value how Nadir extends your play if they don't Ash branded fusion, whereas Cross-Out would just be a dead card.

I feel like this video is a good showcase of using BiHS, but I'm not sold on Nadir. BiHS has applications for your turn beyond Ash follow-up, e.g. to help set up the GY further. But if you have Nadir, what are you accomplishing in this build if you don't get Ash'd? Getting a Quem into rotation for t3?

Nadir servant to get quem & set up plays on the opponents turn will be great.

Why are we not playing sales ban?

For anyone wondering this DOESNT work on Master Duel, IDK if this combo is done wrong or if Master duel is wrong or works differently but the game wont let you use "Branded in High Spirits" during end phase, it will just end your turn after Kitt effect resolution. Does someone know more about this? EDIT: it actually works but you need to toy with settings on how master duel manage the interactions

Ok I'm sold I give up lmao If next banlist expulsion safe I'll buy branded This deck is very fun and I can't hide it anymore Plus you got my sub

I don't see nadir in this format. Yo can't even activate Nadir Servant with Arise-Heart on the field.

I've always played Nadir in my Invoked Shaddoll Dogmatika builds. Now I'm slowly evolving to Branded Despia, feels good to already known some of the useful stuff

This is great for master duel with it at 1

How many Nadir in Main deck could be? 🤔 3 or 2?

I don't have space in my deck for nadir + kitt + branded in hight spirit. Should i add them even if it will make the list well over 40 cards ?

I have 2 questions for my branded bros and I hope someone can help me out. I started playing again recently and have decided to play branded. 1. I realized we don‘t have any backrow removal and it got me into some problems especially against Skill Drain. Should I play: Cosmic cyclone, lightning storm or Evenly matched x 3? 2. I don‘t want to play bystial since they‘re expensive as hell. With the new support I seem to be forced to tho, you guys think the new support is still viable even without bystials?

What your thought in using side for 3 crossout and barrier since barrier shut us down Now that you mentioned branded can play through ash

Always been a fan of nadir in the deck

But how many should you play??

Nadir was unlimited because branded needed to fuse on their turn. Konami really said fûck that branded is floowandereeze now. Instead of normaling on ur turn they fuse on ur turn. Instead of tributing your monsters they fuse away your monsters. It's the same thing 😂

Would be cool if you could show a build with the engine in it

Galzo! I have found a genius card you could do for the next Branded Despia video: Dragonroid. I know it is a -Roid monster, but its effect literally turns off Ash Blossom for Branded Fusion for the entire turn, and has the same after summon protection Branded Lost gives

I feel if bricks were the main concern, it's far more worth to play the Predap stuff, like Keeper can still search Instant Fusion to stop Ash via Millennium-Eyes if you hard brick on Cobra. Kitt and High Spirits are great in theory, but you discard so much with this deck and I still would like cards to play on the following turn. I suppose you do get the Albion search with the Mirrorjade banish, but 1 banish and 1 monster negate vs 5 cards after their draw for turn isn't enough considering you most likely have only 1 follow-up Branded Spell/Trap, and 2 cards in hand (assuming you hard opened Fusion, and didn't need Aluber or Opening + its discard to get there).

Do you got a deck profile with nadir

I raise you: nadir servant dump lulu to search albaz. End phase SS cartesia. Opp main phase cartesia make albion, albion banish lulu and albaz to make mirrorjade. Everything you just showed but requiring no cards to discard and no high spirits.

Where do we get that playmat?

Where did you get that giant Arkana DM?

So you don't get outplayed by ash and instead of any bystial, belle or d.d. crow... right?

I'm not a yugioh player. I'm just an Albaz lore enjoyer. I finished collecting all Albaz lore related cards just last week

Great Video buddy!

im getting the cards!! question and this is random..but what are your thoughts on "ALBAZ THE ASHEN" ? Could that card be of any value to the deck?

Nadir servant seems a bit too bricky. You use it to ss a kitt (which is basically a 1-of that you don't want to draw), in order to get one of the worst branded spells (which you probably don't run 3 of and don't want to draw) just to get a mirrorjade; it also requires you to play a sprind, which is a wasted extra deck spot imo. Crossout or patchworks seem simply better against ash. In particular crossout, since handtraps are powerful rn, so playing crossout and also drawing one of the hantraps isn't bad.

but would you play it in post cyac branded?

i‘ve put you on it on the discord😔

Imo nadir servant is crazy good, I thought people were running this the whole time? I have been 😆

I already have Nadir Servant in my deck

Interesting card. But I’m not sure on it. Crossout is so powerful. It’s not only for the Ash. And I personally don’t like Branded in High Spirits

Too bad it's limited in Master Duel

Always loved Nadir as a card, more relevant now and thanks for showing the combo, sick of being ashed 😂

Great video

It’s not that good. Run another branded in red. Also if nadir is there to replace crossout then I’d rather have crossout and branded fusion in my hand.

Omg just use cross out it's so much more simple it doesn't break it up at all I don't people keep saying it

Crossout + 2 ash + 2 imperm + nib + called by + ttt and 2 super poly + 2 keeper + instant fusion

Why don't branded players just run dragonroid?

Wtf is that thumbnail
