[Master Duel] New Branded Despia Guide and deck profile (card and deck overview)

Edit: Slightly updated decklist + Grass Branded version here: • [Master Duel] New Bran...
I found I wasn't summoning Mudragon nearly ever, and in the situations I could it wasn't really winning me a game. It was just doing it to be mean to the other player. So I swapped out for Quaeritis. Branded Banishment is a great card and I'll likely go over it in a follow-up video because it's a lot more involved. TL;DR it can reborn Quem and then fuse their stuff away like Super Poly.
I go over the new support and then the deck as a whole if you aren't brand new to the deck, a whole lot of it can be skipped. The deck leans itself to talking about cards in relation to one another all the time, so cards will be frequently mentioned outside of their "part".
Refer to time stamps below:
00:00 Intro
01:21 Quem
04:54 Sanctifire

(I misspoke a little here, I meant to mention that tragedy can get branded spells/traps back from the graveyard but forgot to bring it up.)
15:34 Maxx C.
15:36 Fallen of Albaz
(I don't talk much on Albaz here because I talk about him repeatedly throughout the video and what you can do with him)
15:43 Aluber the Jester of Despia:
15:56 Tri-Brigrade Mercourier
16:29 Springans Kitt

This is the most comprehensive guide to branded ive found, and it actually covers the cards vs memorizing combos which doesnt make sense for this deck as you say. hope it gets more views!

[@garythacker6731]

I just built this and it has been a nightmare to learn. Thanks for your work.

[@sub2RakzVibez]

Thanks for explanations, after cyac support i didnt know what lines to even go for anymore lol

[@eggsee_]

I think I met you on Duelist Cup last night 😂 but hey, I agree with Verte and Maxx C ban. Let Dragoon out

[@lVersatile]

Awesome guide, filled with details and super concise! Sub earned and thank you!

[@DIGITALF0RCEREC0RDS]

Nice bro u deserve more subs

[@XLinkiboy]

Fuuuuuuu. I crafted all 3 copys of fusion deplyment instead of buying the structure deck. I hate it here xD

[@kauenp4567]

Same here!
I'm trying to not think about it to avoid depression...

[@lmac222]

Love the video. Great guide. I know you touched on keeping card count down to under 46, but can you touch on the process of not running ash? Secondly, you cant super poly into chimera right?

[@KaiVTu]

So the reason I don't run Ash Blossom is to prevent bricking as much as possible. Branded likes to have a lot of cards that play off of one another. The more engine you have in hand, the more possibility you have to play through disruption; if not several of them.
It's also a math game of "how many disruptions can you make?" 1 branded engine card can get you to 2 disruptions. But Ash Blossom kind of always trades 1 for 1.
And yes, you cannot super poly into Guardian Chimera. Guardian Chimera stipulates 1 or 2 monsters from your hand must be used in it's summoning. While Super Poly stipulates it can only use monsters on the field. So you need to use a more typical polymerization effect that uses hand and field. Such as poly itself, branded in white, branded in red, and so on.
Finally, remember that Guardian Chimera's pop and draw effect is very specific. You must have the targets to pop in order to draw and you must fuse using a spell effect. So Cartesia does not work.

[@rouellof]

Bro UR amount makes me cry good video tho

[@KaiVTu]

Yeah, I think Branded should have had quite a few URs as SRs instead. Branded Lost, Mercourier, and Cartesia/Quem could have all been SRs. But whatever, this is what we have.

[@Mystyriodis]

@@KaiVTuhow did you get so many Glossy ones?

[@KaiVTu]

@@Mystyriodis Game luck I guess. I am f2p and have put $0 into the game. I believe it's 9% chance for a card to become glossy and 1% for royal.

[@galgamesh5651]

Not even a place for masquerade 😢😢

haahaahaha
