Top decks! www.masterduelmeta.com/articles/tournaments/dmc-md-meta-weekly-tournament/118/report

The branded mirror is what yugi oh should be , an interactive back and forth duel instead of you floodgate me and i handtrap you to death

I've never seen a more insane mirror match. Branded is so insanely fun to both play AND watch.

That branded mirror was pure pride battle 😅

That Branded mirror was peak Yu-Gi-Oh!🔥🔥🔥

That branded mirror is the craziest game I have ever seen

I never know who’s turn it is in branded vs branded matchups lmao

Men ! That Branded miror match was waaaay more exciting than looking a Snake Eyes miror match !

That branded mirror match was just magnifique

April the Branded GOAT. Branded is such a well designed deck…

When everybody was BraFu fighting, the chains were fast lightning. Though lost was a lil' bit frightning...

Anyone that plays different tcg seeing that Branded mirror will have multiple strokes and a brain aneurysm

"Welcome to the top 8 of the meta weekly. Every. Single. Week"

Everyone in Twitch chat just spamming that people hate Branded, we love branded, we hate the puppet lock. That branded mirror match was a freaking anime duel without the puppet

Nothings better than a branded mirror match

only here for the branded mirror

That Branded duel was so refreshing i wish more duels was this interactive and fun to watch/play, Definitely peak Yu Gi Oh…Thanks April and Stigmata for the entertainment 🫶🏼

Holy shit that Branded mirror match is so fun to watch! April GOAT!

I think we definitely need abohmod vs april branded

non fire deck looks interesting right now

Yo April vs Stigmata mirror was CRAZY!

Glad to see Branded taking out Branded 😁

April really having to crawl through dirt and mud to reach that top 4 only to get 2-0'ed by tear. Sadge.

20:03 genius play

Branded mirror match, what a crazy duel!!

If nothing else, this tourney proves people can play something besides Snake-Eyes and do well if they REALLY want to. Kind of surprising that it was Exosister of all things as the non-Lab deck to actually use Arias as a way to turn their Normal Traps into Quick Plays. And of course Tearlaments being the Big Gamba it is found a way to outsack everyone again, and prove that playing 50+ good mills is just as viable if not better than 30+ good mills(and including of course Keldo and Mudora to put back the few things you don't want milled). Branded Synchro might not be the better build of Branded, but it's still one of the few Synchro packages I like playing, outside of Branded I've also made use of it in Orcust and Sky Striker, I should probably try out an RDA build one of these days too since Resonators pretty interesting compared to most tuners, I've even tried them out in Labrynth a few times with varied levels of success.

The branded mirror was a sight to behold and also april the branded goat always great to see april's branded gameplay

The branded mirror was insane. Best duel I've seen recently ❤

A few months ago the same people said branded was trash and skilless hence why they called it "brain-ded"

Is there any way to Look up the Decks?

Please pair Branded against Branded in future tournaments because that mirror match is to die for.

A lot of big brain plays that's why I love mw. Please, people keep on delivering such a content.

Tear on a tear. Great plays!!

at some point i lost track of who's card was who in that branded mirror, they summoned so much shit it was insane.

What new darklords card was chat talkimg about? I cant find it anywhere

1:27:51 Mannadium suffers a lot from Droll & Lock Bird as well as Maxx "C" so I get it that he plays them as Crossout Targets. However, that being said, you shouldn't play 3 Droll & Lock bird in Mannadium since it doesn't benefit the deck if it gets Maxx "C"-ed going 1st (since you need to search a lot). I understand that this is not pure version of the deck since it includes Bystials, but even then the ratios of the cards necessary for the deck to be consistent is really low. Abscission is one of the best extenders in the deck and only playing 1 copy is really bad for the combo's consistency. Another questionable decision is only having 1 Visas Starfrost while at the same time having Imaginings. The odds of you opening Visas is low with this kind of ratio, and that's terrible if you get interrupted on Riumheart since you, again only has 1 Abscission too. Additionally, are you really only playing 1 Samsara? Cuz the card is not a 1 card combo on its own and you'd rather play 0 or 2-3 copies. Reason being is that, you won't have an extender (Visas/Samsara/Abscission) and would thus lose to 1 hand-trap unlike other decks. Yes, Visas doesn't get to summon himself if you only have Riumheart, however Visas + Meek is full combo. Also, if you have more Abscission you'd be able to Summon Visas/1500 Atk and 2100 Def monster from hand for free (Allowing you to summon Barrone as 5th summon to negate Nibiru). I get the Idea of adding Bystials for a new way of playing the deck, but I would honestly just add more board breakers like Triple Tactics Talent and Thrust (Since the former helps fix hands/break boards and the latter can search Abscission too). Common monster Hand-Traps are generally bad in this deck since the field spell (Calarium) messes up Riumheart's atk if you have a tuner in grave (Like Veiler, Ash, and more). Kinda similar to how Nib and Gamma is bad if you're playing Kashtira since you need open monster zones. Though if you want to have good generic hand-trap, you can add Imperm and if you lose to imperm/trap decks often just add Red Reboot. What I've said is mostly what I think the decklist's issues, things like 1 droplet and 3 Evenly is fine by me, since you want to have a way to counter other decks without commiting too much early. I hope to see you (Mannadium guy) reach top 16 again and maybe even win the tournament. Keep it up and don't lose hope fighting the meta decks. P.S. I do not intend to ridicule nor satirize the player, I'm only stating my opinions about the deck in hopes that it would potentially improve.

Damn that first duel.

i feel that this is the most tiring yet fun top 8. that branded mirror is pure joy but it drags too long that i don't have any more energy to watch lab vs purrely

holy branded, that mirror match was insane

Omg! The branded mirror match was incredible

Tear is factually a better deck compared to SEFK when both at full power. Now both get hit its kinda the same power, if SEFK got hit again tear will be a better deck again.

That Branded mirror was just insane, this is why we love YGO ! However as a Purrely player, the following match was a pain to watch. The pilot made many misplays, it felt very amateurish

Dkayed I have a tournament idea for you. How about a rogue deck tournament? No fire king, snake-eye, lab, matchmec, etc. I think it would exciting to see underrepresented decks.

What is the prize pool for meta weekly? £1500? Or just £50

That Branded match was nuts holy..

that was way more enjoyable to watch( even the purrely matches werent bad imo, broken but i wanna say you can win against purrely unless they draw the perfect starting hand) ggs to all the participants

Labyrinth Recycling deruma cannon over and over is so toxic wow

Branded showing how to duel to those relying on snake eyes.

these chain blocks is something i could never hold a grasp on, i get overwhelmed with the effects and dont know what to do xD

Horus maintains a lot of advantage over the Rev synchron build. Rainbow bridge is now on the radar if Horus gets too powerful. Plus it's SR. Easily can get banned.

I am so freaking proud to be a branded main

How do I get a chance at one of these

Now that’s a branded game holy shit 🔥🔥🔥

Poor April.. 😅

I like this one a lot.

my god u can tell people ar bored of the meta to the point where bringing back tear and branded

April is a baranded King match went insaan

I feel like the change in decks might come from top players just being tired of Snake-Eye. That being said, it also might be because everyone is just hand-trap spamming the deck into oblivion.

The one time I had a duel that was tit for tat was a branded mirror match. I messed up a play and I ended up losing - but it was the most fun I had on master duel.

Waiting for yubel

I got 9k what should I build? Any suggestions? I want something worth building

I still think that Mannadium, Tear, and Exosister are ones of the sleeper deck that's not as dope as Fire Deck but fun as hell when played

13:30 why not banish the field spell?

Thats why i play branded just the deck that doesnt stop that was a sick match!!!

Branded vs Branded was beautiful

april simps in shambles LUL

That's why i always say, yes Gimmick puppet is dirty, but Branded Deck is the most Balanced ans well designed deck.

"Disrespectful" Hani proving his prowess.

I'm telling you branded and tearlament are easily the most fun decks to watch and play in this game

Unchained only adds to hand once and alot of the time doesn't even need that thats why unchained runs droll is for its another maxxc "negate"

I wanna see how everyone would react if they just put pot of greed to 1

Finally SEFK isnt dominating everything The tournament is way funnier and healthier now

Tearelements is a cesspool on modern Yu-Gi-Oh

Finally Maybach not top16 , Tearaments strongest. Me and Richman are proud of him, he is a good padawan

Whens the new pack coming

Hani is trully Tearlament strongest warrior, holy shit that fucking mill 😂😂😂

This video is proof that: Snake eyes mirror 😴 Branded mirror 🫡

The only way to stop fire king snake eye is to free kitkalos its been 2 weeks having kitkalos in master duel wins agains snake eye hahahah

Yo I play cats on the ladder stop doing well with them in tourneys 😂😂 Kinami gonna nerf them again

Branded is the most fun deck to play

Kitkalos banned soon I guess xD

Game 1 in top8 was basically just silver rank 😂

Boss monster of purely are maxx f c

26:12

That branded mirror was good stuff. Edit: Purrely is pure cancer. I hate that deck

''Good meta decks variety'' sure

I mentioned mudragons effect in the comments when fire kings first came out 😊 nice to know someone switched on 😅

People who says and liked the branded mirror match are te same monkies who hates tearlament mirror, monkies right.

Tier become consistent with horus

95% of these comments are about the Branded mirror☠

pause pause pause

Hani = tear honey

Mannadium player makes me feel sick 🤢

Winda😂

Ban Fairy Tail Snow

April is my goat :)

TIARAMENTS STRONGEST

people who ash blossom card destruction are super lame

I hate tearlaments, but hate more those anoying draw 6 fking cats, I guess enemy of your enemy turns out to be your best friend.
