using branded in red in the end phase line i've seen it b4 so i can do it as well. Depends but i've played against a lot of decks. Sure i might not play it 100% optimal but to say you can't play them at all would be untrue as well. (nothing you can do about ash blossom though... except draw the out but ya know what i mean)

@@phienex there’s a line that lets you play through Ash in Branded, but it’s also not very optimal. Branded is very non-linear and situational but if you know what the cards can do, and which target to summon/ send with you can play it. And yeah, if you meet something enough times then for sure you’ll know the combos and its play style/ some basic lines, I’m agreeing with you here, I just wanna make a point with specifically Branded, and not any other decks because I’ve piloted Branded for a long while now.

idek if this is even niche splashable

it's not that busted you would need to get snow off the field to use the effect again. it's certainly not weak tho

i'm doing aight today hope everyone else is too

yes that :)

how the primera works also kinda feels like you're knee capping yourself a little idk if thats fixable though

@@phienex The problem will fix itself kinda once we get the INFO and ROTA support on Master Duel. Atrii and Primera Primus help you play around the Primera lock much better. For now we just have to accept the limitatation of the Centurion engine and play a complementary engine like Stardust, Resonator, Bystial or Horus.

@@felipebarreto97 will look forward to new support... but it is sad that pure snake eyes can synchro summon more times on their turn and opponents turn then centurion can

Bonfire and agnimal are trash,. Why would u add 2 cards for a special summon on search of a brick? Since u said that centurion power is capped and doesnt get stronger with more in archetype cards, why would u want to have 5 copies of trudea instead of 2? I doesnt make it "more consistent" it makes it hyper consistent which is a very bad thing. PURE normal summons should be at max 5. Only way to extend with centurion only cards is with bonds. Which its more often than not played at 0 copies and very rarely at 1 or 2. With 2 more engines u cant afford more than one copy if any. All of the above are for 40, max 45 card decks. If you are planning to play a 60 card random bs 1 card combo ohemgee branded fusion lesss goo kind of deck might as well play SE diabel rACE.

@@AceL. Those card suggestions were for a 60 card deck with Horus and Bystial. In fact the point of going for 60 is to be more consistent without being hyper consistent. If you play 40 with 11 starters, like you suggest, you have 80% chance of drawing a starter, 40% chance of drawing starter + extender, and 12% chance of drawing 3 + starters. If you play max starters, 14, you can up those numbers to 90% and 40%, but you have 23% chance of drawing too many starters (hyper consistency). On 60 with 14 starters, you have a 75% chance of drawing a one card combo, 21% chance of finding your independent 2 card combo (using Horus + Bystial Aluber/Agnimal, not counting Bonfire here), 60% chance of hitting starter using Giantrainer, around 46% chance of finding starter + extender, and 8% chance of drawing 3+ starters, it's just better engine math. You pay the price of reducing non-engine to around 24/60 (40%) instead of around 22/40 (55%), and lowering your Maxx "C" minigame win ratio, but imo it's worth it. In MD ladder engine > non-engine, because deck diversity is too high. Of course Centurion is only the 3rd best 60 card pile, Branded and Snake-Eye Rescue Ace are better, but i don't want to play those decks at the moment. It's the MD ladder, not a tournament, I want to have fun.

it's ghetto but yea

floodgate = win... cross sheep + yubel allows for a good amount of degeneracy tbh

honestly deck out strats are lame(in this kind of format cause if you go first/2nd with mystic mine it can also be an auto loss via deck out) so we should. Sandaion loses to eatos(anything that can otk also strats that don't use monsters like just cauldron of the old man which also does beat mystic mine) and requires your opponent to control a monster.

oh slash draw is pretty good it might struggle against cards like banisher of the radiance tho since you do have to send cards to the gy

but actually if it's bo3 it'd be kinda bad because your opp can just pass forever, and game always goes to deck out... ugh

@@phienex Well if it's a hypothetical match then I'd say "play 60" and if they don't make any move they will deck out first.

@@Zetact_ honestly any situation where it goes to deck out is hella lame. But actually you can lose pretty hard with slash draw if we consider deck out(idk why you would ever play less then 60 cards in a format like this). If slash draw doesn't kill opponent can just pass, and because you drew off of slash draw you'd actually always lose right(opp simply never commits any cards to the field after)?

@@phienex The out to the Slash Draw build would either be to OTK or to negate the effect of Slash Draw (activation is risky), or to put enough cards on the field to cause deck out. But if there's a 60 card Slash Draw deck and the opponent is trying to win with deck out it wouldn't be possible. Assuming Slash Draw goes second, the deck size is 35 to 54 on their first turns, a difference of 19 cards. The max that can be milled off Slash Draw is 13 if the opponent controls cards in every main monster zone, every S/T zone, the Field zone and both EMZ. Though if they have that sort of field they probably should be winning on that turn anyway. Though in the hypothetical, since as mentioned Ash Blossom DOES hard counter Slash Draw if the player just draws until 3 cards in hand are Ash Blossom they have a ton more leniency because they get 3 turns without needing to worry about it. If we're talking a format where both players are using silly "only one card" decks and both players are running 60 then if Slash Draw wins game 1 and loses game 2 by deck out they can choose to go first on game 3 and the opponent draws first so they'll lose by deck out if nobody does anything. Now, there are cards that could defeat the Slash Draw strategy in this context, such as Ookazi, Majestic Mech - Ohka or Sky Striker Maneuver - Vector Blast (cards that can move a player towards a victory condition without leaving a card on field to make Slash Draw live) but it's still a centralizing card in this context and of these decks would probably lose to the strategies making use of continuous S/T such as Cauldron that Slash Draw counters.

how do you win with 40-60 copies of pot of greed?...

Maxx c is pot of greed but better.

@@captainmistake748 idk you can at least set maxx c if you have 40 copies of maxx c you can't beat kuriboh for ex

idk about that the flexibility you have from having 5 copies of cauldron might be the difference maker. Wishes also has no win con. (assuming we have to play with 40 copies of one card). wave motion cannon would also lose to a lot of things. at fastest Set wave motion cannon, flip, then on turn 3 place one counter burn for 5k at best, so not enough for lethal. Main phase on turn 6 you can burn for 10k. So if your opponent was on montage dragon they can attack twice then gg?

cauldron player does 1.5k damage turn 1 and goes up to 10.5k LP, eatos player kills them instantly turn 2 with 12.5k damage total

also "nightmare wheel" counters every deck that uses monsters unless they are able to put up 5 monsters that are also able to clear backrow

@@christheepicgamer eatos is pretty good yea it can kind of get cheesed if one of them is sent to the gy tho a little bit of risky buisness. Should beat cauldron though

​@@christheepicgamer issue you have no win con. And deck out is lame...

@@phienex nightmare wheel does burn damage to the controller of the monster it targets on each standby phase

it's a stalemate you can't burn/gain without counters cause they would get cleared every turn... but also only backrow removal deck has no win con and I don't want to account for deck out in these situations -_- cause thats a bit lame in this case

@@phienex I think the cauldron gets one counter on activation, so that would be enough, and understandable on the other note

@@tarikvaljevac7297 oh wait yea oldman does gain counters on activation everyone has these kinds of moments

hmm. never said it was op i just hate that it's in the game tbh. I'm not showing off the strongest usages of this because... no. But basically very easy to make a link 2 that requires only 2 effect monsters to drop jowgen onto the board. If we have 2 omnis for ex with jowgen on the board that's a bit problematic no? Does require some garnets though which is whatever(people have run a lot of garnets for dumb things).

idk you could also argue that the gimmick puppet lock isn't that good as well

@@phienex No, you specifically can't make that argument because you made an entire half hour video ranting about these locks and how they are still a problem.

@@mrsali741 ??? These locks are all useless if you are going 2nd. Simply because they are all built for going first. Wtf is albion going to do for you if you're going 2nd? huh?... The issue is how cheese this is if you are going 2nd. Oh mb sorry i can't have an opinion with nuance.

@@phienex Deleted my comment because you got exposed for not knowing what you're talking about 🤡🤡💀💀

@@mrsali741 ? idk you must have typed it in a vile way if youtube automatically deleted it but idk what you're talking about

point is not all maxx c draws are good

@@phienex I mean it’s absolutely a good point, It’s just kind of cruel. drawing 1 increase feels so bad, 2 in a row? Evil But yes. Maxx C doesnt help every deck every time.

based and true. Imo it's not broken just annoying. Since we're playing Bo1. But i mean the issue with verte into jowgen is that you require only 2 effect monsters to do this. This is a one card combo with ease. Can easily have this alongside several negates/omnis which is fairly nasty. Imo verte or albion deserve a ban.

another option of many...

you can only summon it once though. And it can lose to man eater bug in defense i believe?... the drawing is also mandatory weird card. Doesn't seem consistent either

false if jowgen is special summoned you get a monster as well so imperm doesn't work. also can't negate albion... also can't use evenly. Raigeki or droplet can work tho. Also keep in mind this combo is doable IF you have any 2 effect monsters on board, and didn't draw branded fusion. So if you meet that condition for ex in Super heavy samurai you could slap this onto your endboard...

albion can't possibly age well let's be real.

this might be surprising but do you want to see me not use verte to make albion next :) . Verte is also a problem card but the most immediate important ban imo is albion.

@@phienex Yeah go for it, everytime i can inculde Verte in my deck to cheat out fusion spell i dont want to include it because how "cheap" this play is. Also i would argue that Albion should stay in the game because without verte it would be not worth running it in other decks, and without puppet or ido branded cant lock as consistently as it could. Sure you could say there are other targets like Archfiend Emperor or others but there are allways a drawbacks for example if you give archfiend to yubel not knowing you play against her it is guaranted lost match for branded player.

wait... but this cont trap isn't actually that worth removing tbh

@@phienex yeah but free level 4 tuner

but i run bricks in this deck if i put in less brick cards i'm actually bricking less

The hard statistics will prove you wrong.

@@crunchyapples596 depends on the exact deck and etc. Statistics don't just blindly apply to everything.

oh you even know what trap was set and where lmao... well if you don't have backrow removal though reverse might be true. Ex you set trap then know the exact best choke points to unleash them and your opp is helpless(cause you know their whole hand).

turn players hand is revealed idk if it'll work

@@phienex i d.d one would work

@@grihaspoormachine this only kinda works if you're the going 2nd player to snipe a handtrap but only specific ones. for ex maxx c would still resolve so not much better then running an ash blossom imo.

​@@phienexoh i cant read lol, then trap one would do but clunky heh

That doesn't really work sadly. prohibition is a lot more favored for the going first player. you can stop certain handtraps like ash blossom though i guess so there's that not maxx c though as that can be chained.

Maybe

You cannot reveal the monster so they cannot be activated in hand. I believe this was on a coder video at one point but there is a ruling about revealed card shenanigans

ohhh

argh... this was supposed to be uploaded first... but yea anyways "no point in the watt synchros" no point in playing watts tbh. Considering better going 2nd decks exist(why does my opponent get another turn with this deck bruh)... Cards are neat tho and cheap relatively.

no. It prevents activations. It won't negate something that has already activated. Ex Activate maxx c eff chain 1, chain 2 summon maxx c with new monster reborn. It prevents any on field effects from being activated. It is not negated even if it were negated it would likely only be negated on field.

@@phienex oh i thought it would Negate it in general and since the Chain start from last activation it would Negate the Effect period like it someone uses Ash the you use the Spell reborn since it Actives first i thought the Ash would be negated since it says effects.

Could work but only if a copy is already in the grave. For example you ash your opponent on their turn then on your turn reborn that same ash to prevent yourself from being ashed lol. It's dumb but it should work.

@@Estrio21 i'm assuming it's only negated on field tho but we'll see
