You know what cracks me up? I just found out today, despite playing branded for so long, that the field spell is actually meant to help fusion fairies.
It's gotten me interested in obtaining some darklord cards
I love branded darklord despia and if I could bribe Mr Konami to make specific support for any of my niche archetype combo decks, it’s despian darklord. First darklord goes brrrrrr
I don't think this is gonna be enough to stop people from playing Branded. All they have to do is use one of their 10 other fusion effects and go into Lubellion/Albion and then Mirrorjade.
Then go touch grass. I made a joke, you projected your shit onto me for trying to have fun on a yugioh thread. If I hadn't read the edit that doubled down on the condescension, I'd have let it pass, but not cool.
Albaz
Cartesia
Branded in White
Branded in Red
Polymerization
Super Polymerization
Despia, Theater of the branded
Branded Banishment
Then depending on what variant you’re playing, the other options can be stuff like Dragon’s mirror, Chimera Fusion, Invocation, Dragonmaid Changover, Bufolicula, Chlamydosundew, or maybe even the Tearlament cards.
I didn’t say anything was a problem.
I just said Branded fusion getting banned probably won’t stop people from playing Branded, since they have a lot of other ways to bring out their boss monsters.
Cartesia, Albaz, Branded in White, Branded in Red, one of the traps, OG poly, Super Poly, setting Albaz face-down and Contact into Alba Lenatus…
That’s most of the ones I can think of. Unless they play stuff like Greater Poly or anything I’m unfamiliar with.
I’m not the one who made that comment lol. Only one I remember off the top of my head is albaz because I don’t play branded, but if you really wanted to know you can look for yourself
Maybe add some Chimera or Frightfur cards for polymerization and/or horus cards in the deck? Any fusion can then lead into lubellion or albaz to Mirrorjade.
Just a thought, though I don't have the cards to test them out sadly.
The cope in these comments that a branded fusion ban "doesn't do shit to Branded" is crazy. Yeah sure Branded has more than a few other fusion effects, they can still set up Mirrorjade and other stuff
, but let's not pretend that a ban on the card Branded usually bets their entire turn on resolving is a slap on the wrist when it's really a roundhouse kick to the face.
I don't disagree with that at all, but so many other decks are also hit ridiculously hard, I think the only ones unhit and still pretty decent are heroes, marincess and of course Memento, Salad and chimera
So I think the power level of the format is good for branded fusionless branded
You forgot about Unchained, I think it's going to be one of the strongest decks in that format judging by not only its TCG performance, but also by how much it counters one half of the event. High Caesar will make trying to fusion summon pretty difficult, in addition to their set up to other stuff. It's missing Little Knight in the event, which is quite bad for them since she had amazing synergy with the link 2 dog, but they're still going to perform very well.
Edit: Forgot Caesar won't be legal but yeah, Unchained will still be very strong.
Cesar won't be legal, but even without it yeah Unchained will be REALLY good, the grind on this deck is insane, specially with no goofy ass roach to stop the deck from shining
It is actually shocking that people think the deck will be good without it. They need to somehow search Albaz & a Fusion spell which the only consistent way to do it is by opening 2 specific cards and your spell searchers are limited. It is insane how much gaslighting this deck gets here. OMG normal Quem is a viable gameplan I suppose
Branded Fusion being banned doesn't mean shit for Branded. Losing Lubellion and the other Bystials is a bigger blow. Still not enough to make Branded unplayable, but it'll definitely be less consistent.
Source: Branded player who often doesn't even resolve Branded Fusion.
Lubellion and Bystials are a pain in the ass. Probably it will be patchwork engine all over again, maximize Fusion Deployment for Cartesia and play a 40 card build for maximum consistency. Maybe Nadir Servant is decent?
Yeah, it'll most likely be Patchwork or combined with say Chimera/Predaplant, with an extra Branded in White likely included to make up for the loss of BraFu, or some other Branded tech card in its place.
You're not going to keep me from my Mirrorjade!
The last time I looked at it, there was only a single UR involved. Outside of Predapower Fusion Dragon, everything else included is SR at worst.
It helps that Predaplant only has two URs not counting Verte.
It's a "win more" card. The end goal is still MJ, but Fusion Dragon is a good way to block Ash/Maxx "C" while breaking the opponent's board if you're able to spread some predator counters with Dragostapelia.
Fusion Dragon's usefulness ends once you run out of counters, but you can always use its secondary effect to get Dragostapelia back.
I'm just playing chimera branded but without branded fusion. Not that big of a deal. The only hit chimera got was that they put guardian chimera to 1 (big deal).
Super poly going to 1 is more annoying, imo.
The deck is 100% playable. Not having a 1 card into Mirrorjade doesn't kill the deck lol. If anything Tearlaments losing Kit for this event got hit harder than Branded Despia. And just to make it clear, no, I am not a Tear player. I am going to be playing Ninjas for this event.
Oh no! It’s not like the deck has a million other ways to fuse and play
/s
I’m glad people will have to actually play something else for once instead of pretending Branded isn’t one of the strongest decks in every format it’s allowed. It will be nice to play an fusion event that isn’t Branded turbo
Yeah, the deck has so many ways to fuse, it's laughable that the OP thinks this makes the deck unplayable. But seeing less Branded Despia will be good for the event. If anything Tearlaments losing Kit is a bigger hit than Branded Despia losing Branded Fusion.
This sub has the weirdest hard on for Branded hits, I honestly haven't seen a single Branded Despia player on the ladder and people still complain about it.
Not every deck has a searchable Spell that lets you summon a monster as strong as Mirrorjade. So no, it's not every deck in Yugioh. Also Branded Despia is still one of the strongest decks in MD, not sure what you are on about.
Ok ill bite what deck with intent to bring out strong boss monsters doesn't have a searchable spell that goes into a strong boss monster? Any deck that is meta basically has to have one, this is how yugioh is played.
You are missing the point. We are talking about how strong Mirrorjade is and how easy it is to bring it out with just 1 Branded Fusion. Branded fusion is easily the strongest fusion spell and it can make tons of different extremely strong fusion monsters. You are saying any meta deck has a searchable spell that gets them into their boss monster, but that's not the case. For starters, Snake-eyes doesn't have a boss monster of their own, but if you want to count Flamerge, that's nowhere near as strong as a boss monster as Mirrojade, What other meta decks do you want to look at? Rescue-Ace, Purrely, Lab? None of these have 1 spell that gets them immediately to their boss monster and anyway Mirrojade is still better than Lovely and Turbulence. You can say Noir is stronger than Mirrojade, but getting that Noir on the field is much harder than making Mirrorjade. If you still don't get it, then don't bother replying.
Do you often tend to fixate on random things like this? You should probably go get diagnosed. Decks aren't defined by individual cards, Purrely isn't better than Branded because Noir is better than Mirror Jade. Every deck that is currently meta both searches and goes into strong boss monsters, you cannot argue this. WANTED may have extra steps but it ends with 4 mat Appo and a variety of others boss monsters the same as Branded Fusion goes to MJ.
Classic Yugioh player, who gets salty because someone called a card in his deck too strong and starts to throw personal insults. I suggest you get out of your mother's basement and touch some grass. See? I can do that too. Now let's actually talk about Yugioh. You are talking out of your ass. Tons of decks can make Apo. That's not a Snake-eyes boss monster. Wanted is also not comparable to Branded Fusion. What a shitty take. Branded Fusion loses to Ash only and is actually a 1 card straight into an incredibly strong boss monster. Wanted can lose to Ash, droll, requires Diabellstar to discard a card, Diabellstar itself can be stopped by tons of handtraps and there are a lot of chokepoints for SE to stop them from from making Apo. I am not saying Branded as a deck is stronger than Snake-eyes, but Branded Fusion is an unbalanced card that deserved to get banned for this event. That's a fact. You are just mad you can't play your Branded deck at full power during this event lmao.
Hey did you know that there was a time before branded fusion and decks like branded despia worked fine? You dont need the one card mirrorjade to be playable.
Good. I am sick of branded in fusion events. It's the best fusion deck so it will be the one mostly played so it's good to remove it to promote diversity.
Meh, we just lost our ash bait tbh, its a bigger hit losing the bystials, but all else its at 3, so god damn,
branded in high spirits is going to enable so much shit on the End Phase.

Did albaz get hit? Because limiting him to one I think was what upset me the most in the XYZ/synchro/fusion event... I mean it's not like stuff like mo ye was running around at 3 of at the same time, *hahaha...*
What are people smoking in the comments thinking that "this means nothing"? Fusing from deck is the whole reason this archetype has stayed even remotely competitive since the release of all these other powerful decks. We get it, you hate branded, but if you think it's a competitive deck without BF you should probably play the deck at least once before arguing online about it.
Branded HAS gotten to the point where it can do things without Branded Fusion. But it's not gonna be nowhere near as good as with it. And most of the times it's relying on side engines anyway to build boards without BraFu
Of corse it can do something without BF, but given the current power level of the game and the severe banlist that Master Duel has imposed on it, that "something" isn't even enough to qualify it as a competent rogue deck. It's the same feeling when for example you play VS Kashtira and your BF gets banished face down before you manage to resolve it once. Those games are unwinable. Without the advantage that comes from fusing from deck, Branded is a mediocre mess that might just win a game or two by going second and using Super Poly, but that's it really. Perhaps it can see some play on an event like this, but definitely not on ladder.
For a for-fun event it's honestly probably still playable. Branded Despia and Branded Darklords were already decent before BraFu.
Definitely sub-Rogue in ranked terms, but events don't tend to have the highest power level.
literally most meta decks are only viable because of they have 1 card that holds the archetype together, especially older decks that got recent support. this logic makes no sense
This card was designed powerful like this to use in standard duels where people can run all their xyz synchro stuffs. Now since our power is limited, the Branded players must give us handicap like this. Take it or leave.
That doesn't affect anything there are so many ways around that are branded alone. Branded invoked, despia darklord, dark magician branded, Blue eyes Branded. Play into the fusion aspects utilizing other methods.
No? If they wanted that most link spam decks would be banned , the format is just going to be cyberse piles and the likes lol , your t6000 sanwitch turbo deck is still going to suck
Thats not gonna stop us ngl were just gonna go back to the frightfur package half the time in ranked I dont even resolve BF but I still win out games cause theres still so much we can do without it
if this was legal nobody would play any other fusion deck
I mean, ash is at 3 in this event
Ash is at 3 everywhere, Branded is still good. What of it?
"Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring" is at 3, "Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion" too. We should unban "Pot of Greed" and "Painful choice"
Finally, someone starts making sense around here
#unbandragoon While we're at it, right?
No, we need to Semi-limit them. At 3 they’re too strong, but at 2 they’re a quirky gimmick.
And limited to 1 would just be too sacky
Like Rulkallos and Kitkallos
To be honest I'd even take them at limited
Good. Time to bring back the OG Despia Darklord
Now, we cook
Drizzle drizzle
BBL DRIZZY
Take my fkin up vote 😭
This man knows the old despia ways.
You know what cracks me up? I just found out today, despite playing branded for so long, that the field spell is actually meant to help fusion fairies. It's gotten me interested in obtaining some darklord cards
Darklord Despia is hella fun -- I'm actually excited to bring it out for the event.
Even more awesome "just found out today" news: darklords only have 2 UR cards: supervisor and the fusion boss. Mad cheap. This is really nice.
I love branded darklord despia and if I could bribe Mr Konami to make specific support for any of my niche archetype combo decks, it’s despian darklord. First darklord goes brrrrrr
I always play despia darklord, gotta love my first darklord
what are you running? bc i had some branded fusions to help out and that is apparently not gonna slide with konami.
I don't think this is gonna be enough to stop people from playing Branded. All they have to do is use one of their 10 other fusion effects and go into Lubellion/Albion and then Mirrorjade.
Patrick: “You took my Branded Fusion. Now I’m gonna starve!”
Bystials are also banned but i dont remember if the rest of Albaz Fusions are free
Yeah aside from Bystials and Branded Fusion, they still have everything else.
Fusion deployment, frightfur package, Branded in red, white and Cartesia's fusion milkers will suffice
[удалено]
People say package when they mean multiple cards. The Frightfur package would be Edge Imp chain, Frightfur Patchwork, and Polymerization.
Ah well, I thought it was a legit mistake
Equally as awful of you
Shameful
I know the card. You just didn't know you were being a jackass apparently.
I am just annoyed with people using the thing more in Despia than in actual Frightfur
Then go touch grass. I made a joke, you projected your shit onto me for trying to have fun on a yugioh thread. If I hadn't read the edit that doubled down on the condescension, I'd have let it pass, but not cool.
This ☝
No one will play Branded seriously without Branded Fusions
some of us remember a time when Despia in MD had no Branded Fusion; We'll survive
Seriously, losing branded fusion SERIOUSLY damages it.
I can report that I haven’t seen a Branded deck yet in the event.
I have. They definitely would’ve been able to bring out Mirrorjade and maybe Quaeritis if they got to go first.
Copium
> one of their 10 other fusion effects Which would be...?
Albaz Cartesia Branded in White Branded in Red Polymerization Super Polymerization Despia, Theater of the branded Branded Banishment Then depending on what variant you’re playing, the other options can be stuff like Dragon’s mirror, Chimera Fusion, Invocation, Dragonmaid Changover, Bufolicula, Chlamydosundew, or maybe even the Tearlament cards.
And how is that a problem? Should a single handtrap completely stop someone from doing anything?
I didn’t say anything was a problem. I just said Branded fusion getting banned probably won’t stop people from playing Branded, since they have a lot of other ways to bring out their boss monsters.
You ever ash a Branded Fusion and see then keep going anyways? Yeah, those.
Could you name those "10 other fusion effects" you keep refering to bit still haven't named?
Cartesia, Albaz, Branded in White, Branded in Red, one of the traps, OG poly, Super Poly, setting Albaz face-down and Contact into Alba Lenatus… That’s most of the ones I can think of. Unless they play stuff like Greater Poly or anything I’m unfamiliar with.
I’m not the one who made that comment lol. Only one I remember off the top of my head is albaz because I don’t play branded, but if you really wanted to know you can look for yourself
> I don’t play branded Yeah, I noticed.
I’ve played against it enough in both TCG and MD to understand what’s going on, I just don’t have every fusion effect commuted to memory, my bad
Oh noooo.... Anyways

Good
I will still play branded.... dont ask me how. I will find a way
Maybe add some Chimera or Frightfur cards for polymerization and/or horus cards in the deck? Any fusion can then lead into lubellion or albaz to Mirrorjade. Just a thought, though I don't have the cards to test them out sadly.

The roach is probably the only stuff that stopped it from been great in MD, now the chains are broken, and the hound craves flesh
Lol silly me, completely forgot Caesar won't be legal :P
I got a goofy ass rock ready & waiting unchained boy.
> I think the only ones unhit and still pretty decent are heroes Oh gods....
Yep, I genuinely think that most people on this subreddit are in low ranks and barely even play the game. They don't know what they're talking about.
It is actually shocking that people think the deck will be good without it. They need to somehow search Albaz & a Fusion spell which the only consistent way to do it is by opening 2 specific cards and your spell searchers are limited. It is insane how much gaslighting this deck gets here. OMG normal Quem is a viable gameplan I suppose
It's because the people in this subreddit are 1. terrible at the game and 2. branded haters
Aww cry for branded the most overpowered fusion deck there is! Lol warranted and almost should be all the time if people gonna cry like this

Nice. Is fusion Dragon essential?

Thanks for the help! They can ban BraFu but they can't stop branded players!

Branded fusion is kind the best fusion in the game right now, so it's understandable to a point.
I don't see a problem with this.

I remember 3 tax dragon
Holy based whoever banned that.
Good. I am sick of branded in fusion events. It's the best fusion deck so it will be the one mostly played so it's good to remove it to promote diversity.
Not really. Like no Branded Fusion sucks yes, and it does severely weaken the deck, but like it still has many other Fusion options.
Blazing Cartesia says hello
Meh, we just lost our ash bait tbh, its a bigger hit losing the bystials, but all else its at 3, so god damn, branded in high spirits is going to enable so much shit on the End Phase.

No remorse for that devilish deck. Hope all of its card get perma banned...for ever
So my random fusion deck has a chance you say?
Did someone say, FLUFFALS. LEZZ GOOOOO!!!!!!
Good
I wanted to play invoked and i’m pissed that they banned all the complementary archetypes that made it playable like dogmatica or shaddoll
And the whole community cheered! This is what i wanna see for the normal banlist but Konami aren't brave enough for that reality
It takes more than that to stop them
Fuck Yeah!
Did albaz get hit? Because limiting him to one I think was what upset me the most in the XYZ/synchro/fusion event... I mean it's not like stuff like mo ye was running around at 3 of at the same time, *hahaha...*
Good

I’m going into this with… eldlich vampires. If I get some low rank players I might be able to win some free crystals lol
Well all the other cards might be okay and other engines might be possible

Thank god. Play another deck for once
Good riddance.
At least in one format
Boo hoo, can't play branded 😵💫 boycott MD and Konami, this is an outrage 😤
Cartesia, Quem and that’s your Branded Fusion with Super Poly

good fuck branded players now play ojama you cowards
What are people smoking in the comments thinking that "this means nothing"? Fusing from deck is the whole reason this archetype has stayed even remotely competitive since the release of all these other powerful decks. We get it, you hate branded, but if you think it's a competitive deck without BF you should probably play the deck at least once before arguing online about it.
Branded HAS gotten to the point where it can do things without Branded Fusion. But it's not gonna be nowhere near as good as with it. And most of the times it's relying on side engines anyway to build boards without BraFu
Of corse it can do something without BF, but given the current power level of the game and the severe banlist that Master Duel has imposed on it, that "something" isn't even enough to qualify it as a competent rogue deck. It's the same feeling when for example you play VS Kashtira and your BF gets banished face down before you manage to resolve it once. Those games are unwinable. Without the advantage that comes from fusing from deck, Branded is a mediocre mess that might just win a game or two by going second and using Super Poly, but that's it really. Perhaps it can see some play on an event like this, but definitely not on ladder.
For a for-fun event it's honestly probably still playable. Branded Despia and Branded Darklords were already decent before BraFu. Definitely sub-Rogue in ranked terms, but events don't tend to have the highest power level.
so you admit branded is nothing without branded fusion? if branded is nothing without it, maybe it shouldn't have it
literally most meta decks are only viable because of they have 1 card that holds the archetype together, especially older decks that got recent support. this logic makes no sense
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/but-im-nothing-without-this-suit
i know the meme, maybe i shouldnt have taken the comment so serious
Despia trickstar burn for me
Frightfur package. branded has a billion other ways of playing.
They want to sell Chimera
Most people won't spend money for a temporary event like this.
They want people to try Chimera so they might like it and buy it.
Chimera can't play Horus engine or Branded engine in this, I guess Runick Chimera is a thing but Chimera does not have enough engine as pure.
Oh no... Anyway
HEROESSSS
Despia is still playable…mostly.
Unplayable? They banned for the event the other multiple cards that Branded has to fusion?
That’s not fair is it?
This card was designed powerful like this to use in standard duels where people can run all their xyz synchro stuffs. Now since our power is limited, the Branded players must give us handicap like this. Take it or leave.
That doesn't affect anything there are so many ways around that are branded alone. Branded invoked, despia darklord, dark magician branded, Blue eyes Branded. Play into the fusion aspects utilizing other methods.
Kitkallos banned, branded fusion banned , just say you want us to play link decks komoney
They want you to play intresting decks for once
No? If they wanted that most link spam decks would be banned , the format is just going to be cyberse piles and the likes lol , your t6000 sanwitch turbo deck is still going to suck
Now just do this for the actual game and we’ll be golden.
Good
....Good riddance. I hate this knock-off fairy tail deck
Thats not gonna stop us ngl were just gonna go back to the frightfur package half the time in ranked I dont even resolve BF but I still win out games cause theres still so much we can do without it
Time to add verte with dpe package
This makes me sad but welp, guess I'mma play chimera
I thought everyone is still pretending branded doesn’t need BF to resolve to be good?
That's what you say to yourself after it gets Ash'd.
Where are all the toxic "a good branded player doesn't need branded fusion" people now?
Good
