Could you post an update of your latest deck list and side explayning what your siding process is for the different meta rhx mate btw great video do you think they will hit albion sd like branded expulsion ? And if yes is there a backup lock ? 4 examüle the winda wich would be extradeck heavy using up 2 slots more
Yes. Also if they hit albion winda would be our next best bet in terms of a lock gameplay for branded, yes. Also there are barrier statue plays with branded chimera.
Do you consider gimmick to be a must if you want to compete? Personally I prefer Ad Lib and I feel I end on weaker boards when going for the puppet if they manage to interrupt the route/banish puppet
@@MetaGamesGX Ooooh yeah I comprehend, will try my build with Ad Lib then, was curious to know your opinion as someone who unlike me has already competed in local events, thanks!
@@No__Vanity I understand that 👍it’s just that it said you can’t summon cards from the extra deck the turn that you activate it so I just thought that since branded fusion resolved the nadir can’t activate beacause you summoned from the extra this turn.
What is the reasoning behind using Dark Magician instead of The Light - Hex-Sealed Fusion? DM gets you Dragoon's pop + burn effect but Hex-Sealed is a more flexible card in hand. Plus it lets you use Branded Fusion to go into Albion with Albaz + Hex-Sealed, then Albion effect banishing Albaz + Hex-Sealed for Dragoon, so you retain a card in hand since you don't discard like Lubellion, you have an extra body on field with Albion, and as long as you eventually get the Albion in grave you plus off of it. It just seems a more efficient way of getting to Dragoon while also being a better card should you draw it, while Dark Magician's only advantage is 1 non-targeting pop in a meta where that isn't that great. This thought process comes from a Branded Chimera player though so maybe I'm missing something about Branded Despia's nuances.
@@MetaGamesGXyeahhhh that’s why I play it in chimera too Also it being dark allows for you to go into Lubellion instead of Albion which is preferred in this case and under shifter so ye
@@MetaGamesGX The whole point is to activate The lock on the opponent’s standby phase. If they can’t summon it then it’s impossible to pop Ido to begin with. The other thing is puppet is a one turn effect. Ido is a passive. Gimmick Puppet Effect: You can only Special Summon "Gimmick Puppet Nightmare" once per turn this way. When you do: You can Special Summon 1 "Gimmick Puppet Nightmare" from your hand or GY. If this card is Special Summoned, you cannot Special Summon any monsters for the rest of this turn, except "Gimmick Puppet" monsters. Ido Effect: You cannot Summon monsters. You can only control 1 "Ido the Supreme Magical Force". If this card is destroyed by a card effect and sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon it from your Graveyard during the next turn's Standby Phase and destroy all other monsters you control. If you use sanctifier to summon it to your opponent’s field on standby there is nothing that can be done to summon monsters. No linking it away either. No Tributes, No Synchros or XYZs…Nada.
brother i appreciate the responses, your comments tell me you dont have much experience on branded, or at least at a high level. You can literally just pop the ido with any other card effect and just keep playing. That cant happen with puppet once its on the field. Also SP is not the optimal phase for a lock so thats a big tell... High level players will be outing ido all day where the only way to out the puppet is to stop sanctifier. @@biggy4427
