Bro I’ve literally spent the last 2 days looking at branded despia deck breakdowns/walkthroughs trying to get a feel for the combos, this is exactly what I was looking for!! Smashed it keep em coming!!
Thanks for uploading this video. I have been trying to get a feel for extended combo trees and chain stacking, and your video simply and easily explains a lot of the basics. A great resource! Thank you again.
Thanks for the video, just a couple of plays I believe are optimal. In the branded fusion as a starter combo, you can set branded opening and activate it durring the opponent's turn since it is a quick effect, from there you can decide to either special summon ad lib or add him to the hand depending on the situation, popping 2 drawing one or drawing one popping 2. I love playing branded lost for the first combo, if i open aluber and branded fusion which happens a lot, i can add branded lost off Aluber, activate branded lost to protect my combos before activating branded fusion and adding mercourier afterwards, branded lost is good value since it's searchable and opening it is good value. I also play 3 imp chains and 3 tragedies to have more names for allure, crazy as it might sound i acctualy cut maxx because going first it limits the gas in your hand and can ruine your allure, i also play 3 albaz in order to make mirrojade with poly in case i don't open branded fusion. For the extra deck I play brigrand instead of titaniklad, titnakilad can search albaz for you but brigrand can search both albaz and the mercourier, I would only play titaniklad over brigrand if i main deck nibiru, branded fusion making titaniklad with nibiru puts a lot of damage on the board for the otk, without nibiru in the main deck i wouldnt put him in the deck over brigrand. Have a nice day your videos are always nice to listen to, i love how minimal the background noise is.
16:04 For me I think the better play is to banishing your own mirror jade then summoning masquerade with aluber and ad lib so that aluber can use its graveyard effect when they destroyed your fusion monster
i like how you consider when you don't have that some cards at all. it work for me and very informative because I have like a cheap version of this deck running, I have only 1 copy of the UR except the mirror jade. and some cards but all the extra deck cards except sr have 1 copies only and I don't have frightful and imp and some cards and also the very important chimera. so for mine to work as I see I just need the chimera thanks for this
Glad I found your Videos. I am a fan of branded Despia since the sd came out in tcg. Made a new Account in Master duel and build this deck a few days ago. Thanks to your videos I've learned the basic combos very fast and easy, thank you. I hope Bystials will come out soon in MD and maybe we get also cards like Rindbrumm in this pack to improve this deck even further.
While I agree that Ad Libitum is more important to get off than Tragedy, I think you should also consider the gamestate when ordering the two. The only real way I can think of to negate the Ad Lib, is with a monster negate, which would typically be on the field, or a psy-frame gamma which can't be activated if they have a monster. Since the ad-lib is being activated in the banished zone, it avoids being called by whereas Tragedy can still be hit by an ash
Great video, it sure clarified a lot. When I play aluber for branded fusion, I am unable to play it until the next turn in the app. Am I missing something here?
I’m tired of everyone telling people not to Ash my Patchwork. They can do whatever they want and it’s not really anyone’s place to tell them otherwise. It’s 2022. Live your truth, Ash Patchwork and don’t let anyone tell you you’re wrong for doing it.
I'd like to play one darkness - fusion and ecclasy virtuous that can eventually make mirrorjade withour any other fusion : If u can specially summon ecclasy you can also specially summon The fallen Albaz, then normally summon darkness-fusion to make mirrorjade, darkness - fusion can also be send to gy to draw 2 card. With this combo and one branded fusion u can have 3 fusion at turn 2 ( i like to set swamp dragon, mirrorjade and masquerade in this situation ( Good FOT combo with -600lp/card effect activation, card effect immunity and bannissement )
@@jacobwarzynak8446 Branded fusion, branded opening, and edge imp chain. I think hex's list is missing some cards for it though. Pak has a video on it.
i showed a line that gives you triple masq + mirrorjade + dramaturg during the draw phase but it could be a bit too advanced for newbies to the deck czcams.com/video/bUguMRiYGOI/video.html
I was making this deck and went to try it out on the AI. I had dismantled so many sr and ur cards that I've accumulated. I went into battle, summoned Guardian Chimera, and it was a freaking Royal lol. I was so excited and was like how did I miss that?! Thanks for the deck btw. This is my first good deck. I have synchrons and danger dark world decks, finally I can compete.
I pulled a royal guardian chimera not knowing what decks it was used in when I was making Endymion, another super expensive deck, and I dismantled it thinking I'd never care, which I've done a few times now. Then I started making Branded despia as my next deck.
@@fuzzythoughts8020 bro no... I'm sorry. I don't dismantle any of my royals even if I can't use them, cause I might change my mind and decide to build a deck I can use them in.
I really like how easy to understand the Branded Despia deck is, however it has the combo diversity of a brick, once you do 1 combo it feels like you have seen all Branded/Despia combos It can really turn into a boring experience and having 80% of the archetype staples being UR doesn't help.
Ad Libitum graveyard effect returns a level 8 or higher fusion back to field. So use ad libitum, mirror jade + another card to form Chimera > Libitum returns your Mirror Jade and refreshes its banish > get to draw cards and destroy with Chimera.
Love the deck in the video, quick question, however. Would you consider running Brigrand the Glory Dragon instead of Titaniklad the Ash Dragon? Brigrand is basically like Titaniklad but you can search the bird along with being able to summon Albaz.
I'm also wanna now if titaniklad is really necessary, I'm aware it's an out to big unaffected monsters but after spending so much gems and URs mats for this deck I've became quite paranoid with my expenses lol.
Hey for anyone who wants to auto win against this deck since everyone and their mom like playing it on ladder. Just play true Draco’s, with 3 monarchs erupt, 2 skill drain, 3 shadow imprisoning, and anti fusion arena. You’re welcome
Ash veiler imperm without called by/ cross out on your hand first turn kills the combo also theres belle branded is easy not like other decks that really needs a big brain to get the deck engine running
You can pretty easily play around 1-2 of these cards though with “relative” ease imperm and veiler are especially easy to play around if you open literally any extender. The only card that ACTUALLY just outright kills your t1 play is if they ash your branded fusion
Don’t like when the cards in hand are ignored. Play the cards you draw and show what you can do with them. Obviously you would pick branded in red if you had fusion in your hand which you did.
@@jimtsap04 they're noobs with no iq, you can make a new deck once in a month, this game is too f2p to relly on money or something, they just sucks at the game, that deck is so good, you really are that bad to use freackin' raigeki, i'd slap his head if i was in front of him too
@@qBodi branded is like the one deck you can't easily build as f2p as it's just so damn expensive, the optimal version needs 18 urs(counting out ash maxx c called by and crossout as everyone should already have those), most of which aren't even available in packs at the moment, if you are a new player or even make one deck per month like you and I too would suggest you probably don't have the resources to make such an expensive deck, you need upwards of 8-10k maybe even more gems to even just pull the new cards let alone craft all the old support that you can't pull for anymore, that's easily multiple months worth of saving up. At some point you'll likely run out of resources and you have to substitute some missing cards with suboptimal but easier to acquire options like raigeki, calling such player dumb when it's literally their only option is even more stupid.
I tend to summon in defense mode on turn 1 unless the monster has signfiicantly more ATK than DEF. There are some cards that can only affect monsters in attack mode, and even if your monster is strong they could use something like Forbidden Droplet to reduce the ATK. If a monster has like 3000 ATK and 1500 DEF then yeah I'll summon it in attack, but Mirrorjade for example is 3000/2500 which is close enough that I'll just put it in defense mode.

Your the goat keep up with the video guides
I just beat the 1st place undefeated ycs nationals branded from 5 Days ago with a budget deck 😎 but your write is very very powerful 🔥👍
amazing
Thank god I had swordsoul already, cause this deck is taking forever for me to get
Thanks man I been winning in Diamond.
Great video, it sure clarified a lot. When I play aluber for branded fusion, I am unable to play it until the next turn in the app. Am I missing something here?
Could u do a video on a branded predaplant version of this deck?
I know it may not be as good but it seems fun to play

Hey Hex, I'd like to know if this video could still be useful to learn this deck right now with all new restrictions this deck has now
There's a 3.5 card combo that ends on double masq, mirrorjade, and branded in red + ad libitum
What cards does it start with?
@@jacobwarzynak8446 Branded fusion, branded opening, and edge imp chain. I think hex's list is missing some cards for it though. Pak has a video on it.

what is foolish burial used in this deck? lol i dont know but i have him in my first turn in my hand
now waiting for branded tribrigade videos
Do you have a combo guide for branded despia with darklord?

do we have to run allure or can you use what ever
Is this a going first or going second kind of deck ??
Coming from playing invoked dogmatika, this deck is rocket science to me
Ok.. that's what a soft effect is.. cheers
Can you show combo darkfluid 4 counter
you didnt show the snow combo, if your only using the tragedy combo why play snow ?

So at 19:18 you should send Mirrorjade to make Chimera? What would you keep and why Ad is good in the hand?
Ad Libitum graveyard effect returns a level 8 or higher fusion back to field. So use ad libitum, mirror jade + another card to form Chimera > Libitum returns your Mirror Jade and refreshes its banish > get to draw cards and destroy with Chimera.

The extra deck of branded despia is quite flexible

What if you don't get a hand that allows you to go into branded fusion?
Ggs
3 Maxx C, 3 Ash Blossom and 2 Called By is hilarious
Branded Lost where
So what is the good time to ash against branded deck?
Branded fusion. I just hold ash for that. D.D. Crow is also a really viable counter to branded in red
Yup branded despia players usually scoop if branded fusion gets ashed
can make it with adventure
This deck is basically zoomer invoked shaddoll dogmatika. And u love every bit of it
Ash veiler imperm without called by/ cross out on your hand first turn kills the combo also theres belle branded is easy not like other decks that really needs a big brain to get the deck engine running

What are the other extra deck monsters for?
I’m not completely sure, as I just started playing this deck, but if I were to guess id say they act as fodder for mirrorjade to sack for banishments
max c + exodia= timed bomb...
Don’t like when the cards in hand are ignored. Play the cards you draw and show what you can do with them. Obviously you would pick branded in red if you had fusion in your hand which you did.
This deck is very expensive lol

I met degenerates using this deck and running freaking raigeki, pathetic
So they shouldn't run rageki is what you're saying?
@@xxr3ddevilxx nah, this kind of proud virgin noobs should unistall the game right away, you have the most broken deck and still act like a pusy

Yugioh newbie here. Why are you summoning everything in Defense position ??
I tend to summon in defense mode on turn 1 unless the monster has signfiicantly more ATK than DEF. There are some cards that can only affect monsters in attack mode, and even if your monster is strong they could use something like Forbidden Droplet to reduce the ATK.
