Game 2, he went first and set up the Ra's Disciple lock. He left an additional Fusion on board and I was able to use Ultimate Slayer to shuffle it back by sending N'Tss, then using N'Tss to pop the Disciple. From there, it was easy to snowball him out of the game. ❌🎲Rnd 2 vs Scareclaw Kashtira Win 2-0 Fleur negate resolving in hand GGs. ✅🎲Rnd 3 vs Adventurer Plunder Win 2-0 Keeper combo game 1. Game 2 came down to the grind game and I was able to outresource him. ❌🎲 vs Branded Despia Loss 0-1 Because I was only playing 1 Albaz and 1 Jet, I wasn't able to kill, and then I got into a grind game where I ended up losing in time. Event 2 Rnd 1 ✅🎲 vs Scareclaw Kashtira Win 2-0 Game 1 I went first and my board was too much for him to play through. Game 2 I broke his board with Dogmatika cards, got unto the grind game and snowballed from there. Rnd 2 ✅🎲 vs Branded Despia Win 2-0 Keeper combo game 1 board breakers into snowball game 2 Rnd 3 ✅🎲 vs Naturia Runick Win 2-1 Keeper combo game 1 Nat Beast + Barkion game 2 Game 3 I had the basic Branded Fusion line + Skill Drain. He outed the first Skill Drain and I drew the 2nd. He outed the 2nd and I drew the third. Jet Dragon control snowballed him out of the game. Tribute summon 2nd Jet Dragon to attack over his last set monster. Summon the other Jet from grave to attack for game. Rnd 4 ❌🎲 vs Labrynth Win 2-1 D Barrier do be a card Game 2 I used Expulsion to summon Jinzo Game 3 was a grind game, but I was able to win a long grind game. Regional ❌🎲Rnd 1 vs Rescue Ace Win 2-0 I opened Cobra both games. I don't know what Rescue Ace does. It looks like they play cards, but they didn't seem to do anything. I got Impermed a few times. ❌🎲Rnd 2 vs Mikanko Libromancer Draw Game 1 I opened Cobra again. I got burned by effect damage and OTK'd Game 2 I opened Cobra again. I wasn't able to full combo, but my board was still too strong for them to play through. Game 3, my opponent combo'd into time and we got a draw. My hand was strong enough to break the board and otk v_v ❌🎲 Rnd 3 vs Branded Despia Win 2-0 Game 1 I opened Cobra again. They ended on Dragoon, Branded in Red, and Mirrorjade. I was able to break the board with the Dogmatika cards, then get into a grind game backed by Skill Drain. Jet Dragon snowballed them out of the game. Game 2, I sided a bunch of stuff to stop the gimmick Puppet lock. Ghost Belle won me the game. ❌🎲 Rnd 4 vs Punk Kashtira Win 2-0 Game 1 I opened Cobra again. They did a big combo, but I was able to use Superpoly and the Dogmatika cards to break the board. Skill Drain forced it into a simplified gamestate where they made Psychic End Punisher, but I was able to loop Jet Dragon until I saw Nadir to remove the Psychic End. Then they made Chengying which was boosted to 3200 by the field spell. I was able to get Tyrant Dragon on board, which won me the game. Game 2 I opened Cobra again. They did their full combo, but I was able to break their board with the Dogmatika cards. We didn't have enough time to finish the game. The punk combo pays 3k life. ❌🎲Rnd 5 vs Adventurer Spright Loss 1-2 Game 1 I opened Cobra again. They went full combo. I was able to break the board and establish board presence. They used Lava Golem on my board and then went into double Mosquito and OTK'd me Game 2 I opened Cobra again. I did the Ra's Disciple line. Game 3 They comboed into time and summoned Red Resonator. ❌🎲 Rnd 6 vs Mathmech Win 2-1 Game 1 I opened Cobra again. I was able to play through his interruption and snowball him out of the game Game 2 I opened Cobra again. I got hand trapped to sleep and then OTK'd by Accesscode Game 3 I opened Cobra again. I did the Ra's Disciple line. He realized that it stopped him completely after a few turns. He couldn't use Lava Golem, Link summon, or even tribute summon over it. ❌🎲Rnd 7 vs Branded Despia Loss 0-1 I opened Cobra again. I played much worse than my opponent. The fatigue was starting to set in and I made a lot of mistakes. I had double Superpoly, Skill Drain, and access to the Jet Dragon loop. I superpoly'd my own monsters, discarded Skill Drain, and then committed to an OTK instead of the grind game. ❌🎲 Rnd 8 vs Blackwing Draw 1-1 Game 1 I opened Cobra again. I didn't know what was going on, but they ended on Savage with access to Kali Yuga. I realized that it was a Kali Yuga setup and used Superpoly in draw phase. However They opened Ash Veiler ggs Game 2 Full combo Game 3 They went for Nothung to burn me, but I had Imperm for that and Ash for their extender. ❌🎲Rnd 9 vs Branded Bystial Despia Win 2-0 Game 1 I opened Cobra again. I used the Dogmatika cards to break the board. Jet Dragon snowballed them out of the game. Game 2 I snowballed them out of the game.

ALL HAIL LORD SETO

you're the only guy making BEWD content tournament viable. Nicely done!!

This build looks a lot of fun! Ever since I started using Branded for Blue-Eyes, I've been having a lot of fun with the deck. It just synergies so well together. I did try to use 1 Cartesia, but ended up never using her sadly. Would just get sided out in the long run anyway. If I did add her to this deckbuild, I wouldn't know which card to take out. Haha.

I think the reason why high spirits is seen less favorably by others is its Ash weakness and that it pays a cost and can still be Ashed. However it gets some advantage if it can go off.

I like finding out new spice you can do with a blue eyes in your discord and you guys have helped me out with questions I have and I appreciate that.

Was looking forward to this! Great build and loved you explanation at the end!

I'm missing a lot of the newer stuff from your newer BBE builds so I'm going for this one. Trying to go deeper into understanding. What's the best use of Albion the Shrouded Dragon? Is it just the mulligan?

Brilliant!

Curious to see your thoughts on some of the new support in CyberStorm Access like the lv10 synchros and the new apple dragon tuner.

Consider adding Shaddoll Dragon in the side for annoying floodgates and your runick matchup.

Great profile, bud. Really enjoyed the compare and contrasting of the two deck styles. Was wondering what you'd cut for Cartesia? Thanks again!

Great Build Video! I think it's funny how your Deckbuilding philosophy for the current meta deviated a bit more towards mine (definitely not deliberately, but I definitely like this build a lot more than the previous ones.) I do have to admit though, that I had no idea that there is a predaplant line with instant fusion, I might dabble a bit around with that. I do strongly suggest the Cartesia if you can help it, I'm obviously not quite in the loop with the TCG Meta, but summoning the fusion is pretty much like resolving branded in high spirits, not to mention that you can summon Cartesia with deployment! I might play Branded Blue-Eyes this Season in Master Duel, do you think you will ever come back to it or are you done with it? Oh and where the heck are you on discord

hey man what sleeves do you use for your cards?

Aww man, sadly cant copy the deck for 1 : 1 ratio to master duel because instant fusion is no longer with us. But hey, i guess the good thing is we still have Verte, might be able to make up for the predaplant package.

I hope you changed out the sleeve Cobra was in lol. Also did you trade you Starlight Jet Dragon??

How are you gonna go the most suboptimal line for branded and then say your builds board is better?

Do you have an updated list for post cyberstorm?

Can you explain what you mean by snowball them out of the game with Jet Dragon please? Also, how does Jet Dragon work with only 1 BEWD in the deck? Like how do you get easy access to the 1 copy to use Jet’s effect?

Is it not possible to add fusion deployment and cartesia as well as dark magician for dragoon?

What's the typical Branded in High Spirits line of play?

Let's see some test hands brudda

Tryin to make this work for master duel. If i May ask, why not directly get branded fusion from keeper effect?

2 ties is insane lol

you weren’t scared of mind hacker?

Why not prosperity instead of sales ban?
