the new support really changed completly branded from a linear combo deck to a very thoughtful multi layer deck where u have to know which cards u wanna keep on the grave or banished or return to deck in order to succeed
Galzo because of you my first deck which I chose was branded despia. back in the past I used to play a lot of yugi when the samurai and plants where very hyped and after 10 years almost I started again and i didn't know exactly which deck i was supposed to start with but watching your videos and all these combos you somehow put the virus inside me thank you mate you are the best dude and keep up the good work😊
Hey galzo Idk if you'll read this, for the 2 cards combo with cartesia + aluber, I think the better option is this. Branded fusion send lubellion + fallen of albaz, make albion, albion chain cartesia here, make granguignol with cartesia and aluber, banish albaz and aluber, make lubellion, chain link 1 lubellion, chain link 2 granguignol, dump ad lib, make mirrorjade, then summon bystial lubellion, set branded lost. End phase cartesia, set in red. That way you get a mercourier on summon of chimera and the draw 2 + pop and they can't negate or chain to your chimera play here. You could also go for dragoon + albaz and rindbrum in grave (for a mirrorjade summon on your opp's turn) in some trap match ups. If you choose to dump tragedy or make the albion, you'll still play into nib anyways.
Also a combo I tend to for if I only have aluber + lost is going into lubellion, make dragoon add cartesia with lost summon cartesia (I leave albaz in the grave and fuse with lubellion + dark magician). fuse the aluber and cartesia make gran then dump rindbrum. Next turn if they summon a dark or an extra deck monster, summon fallen of albaz, make mirrorjade by discard cartesia(albaz's activation cannot be negated but effect can), add mercourier. You then have a board they is pretty strong and have alot of disruptions. (more then just 1 mirrorjade + chimera and merc).
That is the combo that I was to comment, you saved me the work of writing it, I also prefer that combo. Althught, normally I place Branded Beast instead of Branded lost, to pop field spells for example.
Something else you can do in your first play is hold cartesia until after bystial Lubellion has brought out Lost so you can use her and Lubellion to make granguignol dump ad lib but this one gets your Lost to trigger and search Mercourier.
one line i like is while having Aluber and Cartesia, use Fusion to make Albion sending Lubellion, banish Aluber to make the other Lubellion and make Mirrorjade, then you tribute Albion to summon Lubellion and place Lost, to finally summon Granguignol and send Ad Libithum and add Mercourier. i like this because while it prepares Red + Ad Lib, it also gets Lost into rotation and a Mercourier
I have used that trick a few times, one of the best cards to combo it with is Blazing Cartesia. You don't even have to use Blazing Cartesia as material to activate its fusion summon effect as long as you have enough material to fulfill the requirements. I have used this to my advantage before by activating Blazing Caretesia on my turn, and then followed up and used it again on my opponents turn.
im 11 months late to this but this is incredible content and I wish every deck/ archetype had content of this quality/ caliber (im very new to the game and basically trying to get a grasp on everything thats out there while trying them out)
Subbed! I always feel like I get a lot of valve from your videos as a someone who got back into the game last year with the Albaz Strike Structure deck.
Thank you so much for this. I loved the art of these cards so much. so glad I now know what to do. Lol I want to get some confidence in me to finally go to a local tournament. I feel like branded will make me feel like I have a chance against almost anything.
I'm a fan of big Bystial package (3 Saronir, 3 Lubellion+Baldrake/Saronir) because Saronir(or Lubellion)+Branded Fusion has a line that makes Dragoon, Bystial Lubellion w/ Branded Beast and a Branded Albion search (usually Branded in Red for Chimera, but not always). If Lubellion was in your opening hand (or you opened Fusion Deployment/Branded Lost), you also have access to a GY Cartesia resource loop for Dragoon's cost as well, with the possibility of Granguinol. While I find it often has 1 or 2 less potential interactions on your opponent's turn than the typical Mirrorjade 2 card lines, most decks have to work way harder to out Dragoon forcing them into awkward lines themselves (usually with more easily isolated chokepoints after they bait the negate) which feels really good for blind game 1 opens right now since nobody is maining DRNM at the moment.
I’m new to learning branded despia so this helps a lot! Part 2 please! Fuck it can we get a whole beginner series? Haha love the content bro I just found you within the last 2 weeks and You have added so much value
What's more crazier is that after your Fusion Summon, you can still set up Ecclesias play with Nadir to either grab either the negate monster AND/OR Punishment to set up further disruption.
very nice! i hope you would please consider playing branded despia on dueling book ranked for educational purposes with explaining thought process for what you do ty ily galzo
Yo dude, running old format Branded (nothing past DABL, no Cartesia/bystial Lubellion). Just now secured a Dragoon, what kinda lines would be required to make a board with Dragoon plus something else? I have access to the edge imp engine so that could help but it seems very committal with the older branded deck
I'd like to see part 5 lmao. Seriously though, I am a casual/online player and have fallen in love with Branded Despia since release, and despite playing it for so long, there are *still* plays I am learning, and still struggle with proper ratios. The choice paralysis is real with this deck.
Need to learn about the chain link and the blocking and what all is allowed. Didn’t know you could fuse with Cartesia and lubelion and still use him in graveyard. Have you seen the chaos space plays with bystials?
Love the videos, I had played branded when the structure deck first came out, but moved away from the deck for a little bit as the meta shaped up. As the meta of this format shaped I decided to play the deck again as it was the most fun, your videos have really helped, along with the comments. Thank you so much for what you do!
thank u so much bro. I have one question ım useing mirrorjades effect and sending rindbrum and ım useing rindbrums effect my opements turn but ıcant summon rindbrum ı can just summon albaz is it game bug or ruling ?
Bro I'm so late to this vid and I'm recently coming back into yugioh from when I was a child, so I'm still learning the new shi but can you make a branded guide STARTING from just the structure deck? I know it weaker obviously than the super decks that everyone uses but I've never even seen a physical version of cartesia and quem and all those other cards seem to belong to packs I can't get not even at my local ots store. I've done well enough to trade for hand traps so far, but my deck is still being built and using what I have atm, I want to at least be able to combo the most basic combo from the starter then up to more advanced stuff when I do get it.
Part 2 what cards or combos stop this deck Sprite variants Kashtira variants Runick variants Traptrix variants Darkworld Danger I know you can’t cover them all, but your knowledge will assist the community. 👍🏾
This is something someone did to me, he send for cost of mirrojade, Rindbrumm the Striking Dragon, he have falle of albaz in grave so he use rindbrumn effect and bring to the field the rindbrumm, when i said he can't other people said that, is because rindbrumm that he can summon back, is this legal?
If rindbrumm is sent to the gy as cost for mirrorjade effect, since he was not properly fusion summoned he cannot be special summoned to the field by his effect or any other effects (like branded banishment)
It seems like other branded negate fusion is not seeing too much play during these days. Is there a practical combo to make a board with Mirrojade and Rimbrumm
Hey There, I'm working to rebuild my F.I.A Deck and Sadly I am aware that Several of the F.O.A cards are Hevily Limited and such forth, How can I Build this properly? I really cpuld use some help Really building my deck
Best Branded player! I play Master duel and I really like Branded, I’m just worried if I build it and it gets destroyed by Tearlaments since it’s coming soon there. How was Branded in the Tearlaments format?
Part 2 🙏🏻
Please🙏🏼
Wow I didn’t even think to fuse Lubellion with cartisia!! You just opened a whole new combo for me thanks dude
This combo is amazing
the new support really changed completly branded from a linear combo deck to a very thoughtful multi layer deck where u have to know which cards u wanna keep on the grave or banished or return to deck in order to succeed

I’ve been wanting to play this deck since it came out but just couldnt seem to wrap my head around its combo lines thanks so much

♦️ Branded fusion + any card 1:24
♦️ Aluber + any card
Theory behind the combo 3:32
Combo 3:48
2 card combos:
🔷 Aluber + Fusion Deployment 5:53
(Aluber can also be Branded opening)
🔷 Fusion Deployment+ Branded Lost + any LIGHT/DARK
Theory behind the combo 10:42
Combo 11:16
🔷 Aluber + Branded fusion 13:14
Bonus combo:
🔶 1 card Dragoon 15:30
Thank you so much! If you need extra content pls show the budget version combo lines as well, so we budget players can learn from the despia master.
one line i like is while having Aluber and Cartesia, use Fusion to make Albion sending Lubellion, banish Aluber to make the other Lubellion and make Mirrorjade, then you tribute Albion to summon Lubellion and place Lost, to finally summon Granguignol and send Ad Libithum and add Mercourier. i like this because while it prepares Red + Ad Lib, it also gets Lost into rotation and a Mercourier
Its my favorite play
At 15:21 you can also activate Branded Lost again for summoning a fusion in the opponent's turn
I love this deck
true,that is something I notced as well
I have used that trick a few times, one of the best cards to combo it with is Blazing Cartesia. You don't even have to use Blazing Cartesia as material to activate its fusion summon effect as long as you have enough material to fulfill the requirements.

Same here but I'm using his old decks rn
as someone just getting back into yugioh, these types of videos are much appreciated! Branded despia is just so cool
Subbed! I always feel like I get a lot of valve from your videos as a someone who got back into the game last year with the Albaz Strike Structure deck.

September 2023 and i am starting my journey on the tcg with the help of You. Thanks a lot man!!
Great video mate! I've played Branded for a while now and you've really helped me improve with the deck. ❤
I’m new to learning branded despia so this helps a lot! Part 2 please! Fuck it can we get a whole beginner series? Haha love the content bro I just found you within the last 2 weeks and You have added so much value
Thank you, this was one of my favorite decks and because of this video i learned how to play it
Interesting, I'm just starting with branded(bought 3 structure decks) and need to learn the deck.
Thanks so much. I brought the completed deck and this video helped kick things off so much..cheers bro keep up the good work
Nice video!! Congrats from Mexico 👏👏
What's more crazier is that after your Fusion Summon, you can still set up Ecclesias play with Nadir to either grab either the negate monster AND/OR Punishment to set up further disruption.
Really nice video
Openers

How to play Branded
Step 1: Play Branded
Step 2: Getting Ash'ed
Step 3: Resigned
very nice! i hope you would please consider playing branded despia on dueling book ranked for educational purposes with explaining thought process for what you do ty ily galzo
Very good video, Galzo. A part 2 would be great.
Great Combos! Thumbs Up!
That Dragoon Summon is Godly.
Could you make a video on a more budget build? With no Cartesia and Bystials, just to see how that would play and what combos it can produce.
Great idea for a series
Yo dude, running old format Branded (nothing past DABL, no Cartesia/bystial Lubellion). Just now secured a Dragoon, what kinda lines would be required to make a board with Dragoon plus something else? I have access to the edge imp engine so that could help but it seems very committal with the older branded deck
Wiseman 2 out here dropping KNOWLEDGE.
I do agree with someone earlier in the comments. You should do this for a pre-DABL variant of the deck.
Great suggestion!
i did not know what chain blocking is that was a good tip! i really like Branded despia so this is really helpfull!
I'd like to see part 5 lmao. Seriously though, I am a casual/online player and have fallen in love with Branded Despia since release, and despite playing it for so long, there are *still* plays I am learning, and still struggle with proper ratios. The choice paralysis is real with this deck.
Bro is watching out for the branded community ❤
Need to learn about the chain link and the blocking and what all is allowed. Didn’t know you could fuse with Cartesia and lubelion and still use him in graveyard.
Have you seen the chaos space plays with bystials?
Yes. It only searches Lubellion and I don’t think it’s worth it.
14:01 can branded lost really use its pull from deck effect twice in one turn?
You cannot add with lost twice per turn.
also, great video! expecting part 2
as a fledging branded player, this is great!
Love the videos, I had played branded when the structure deck first came out, but moved away from the deck for a little bit as the meta shaped up. As the meta of this format shaped I decided to play the deck again as it was the most fun, your videos have really helped, along with the comments. Thank you so much for what you do!
why does the lubellion still resolve at the combo at abt. 7 min even tho it is being used as material and in grave?
Because it activated its effect and doesn’t target the materials.
Not sure if you have but I’d love to see the deck list your using in this video
Great vid can’t wait for part 2
thank u so much bro. I have one question ım useing mirrorjades effect and sending rindbrum and ım useing rindbrums effect my opements turn but ıcant summon rindbrum ı can just summon albaz is it game bug or ruling ?
An extra deck monster that was not properly summoned before hitting the gy can't be reborn.
did I miss a deck profile for what he's playing? I'm new to this deck as well. Sorry
Great vid. Will you update it when cyberstorm comes out?
That's the plan! Probably before.
thanks for this my man appreciate you!
Part 2 please 🎉
Oh so in terms, they cannot negate Lubellion because Tragedy is in the way of the effect
Bro I'm so late to this vid and I'm recently coming back into yugioh from when I was a child, so I'm still learning the new shi but can you make a branded guide STARTING from just the structure deck? I know it weaker obviously than the super decks that everyone uses but I've never even seen a physical version of cartesia and quem and all those other cards seem to belong to packs I can't get not even at my local ots store. I've done well enough to trade for hand traps so far, but my deck is still being built and using what I have atm, I want to at least be able to combo the most basic combo from the starter then up to more advanced stuff when I do get it.
I fuckin love branded
Me too 😢
Me three 🤘
Part 2 what cards or combos stop this deck
Sprite variants
Kashtira variants
Runick variants
Traptrix variants
Darkworld Danger
I know you can’t cover them all, but your knowledge will assist the community. 👍🏾
This is something someone did to me, he send for cost of mirrojade, Rindbrumm the Striking Dragon, he have falle of albaz in grave so he use rindbrumn effect and bring to the field the rindbrumm, when i said he can't other people said that, is because rindbrumm that he can summon back, is this legal?
If rindbrumm is sent to the gy as cost for mirrorjade effect, since he was not properly fusion summoned he cannot be special summoned to the field by his effect or any other effects (like branded banishment)
Part 2 please 🥺
Are you interested in adding incandescent dragon in your extra deck?
So one of the main monsters for the most combos are aluber and tragedy if i get it right or?
what it the min that you need for the start combo 1 of each ?
link for merch isn't working
if i have multiple fusion cards in my hand can i fusion summon more than once?
We want part 2
Would you give guide to Master Duel version of Branded Despia and the reason why the current Branded players uses Grass?
It seems like other branded negate fusion is not seeing too much play during these days. Is there a practical combo to make a board with Mirrojade and Rimbrumm
Part 2 please!!!
Hey There, I'm working to rebuild my F.I.A Deck and Sadly I am aware that Several of the F.O.A cards are Hevily Limited and such forth, How can I Build this properly? I really cpuld use some help Really building my deck
which packs should i get to start the branded deck
Best Branded player! I play Master duel and I really like Branded, I’m just worried if I build it and it gets destroyed by Tearlaments since it’s coming soon there. How was Branded in the Tearlaments format?
RIP Branded Fusion. It should have been left alone.
Should i run ash blos in branded? im not sure, and i need the space for other cards.
Wonderful
These combos are so helpful. Another banger from Galzo!
Is that a token in your hand?
Strong combo has gotta be fusion deployment and branded fusion/aluber
If you know you know
Part 2 please!
Hey do you play masterduel or are you planning to play there?
I still hate that lubellion is discard for cost
Part 2 hello from Brazil
Ayt u know what, I may shit on Konami for giving branded too much support but the deck is pretty sick
Galzo, is branded opening a 1.5 card?
A what?
hey just to say your noob tips are welcome :D
New to do a new one
I’m here
need badly
Prt 2🙏
My favorite part is when the opponent thinks they are smart using Raigeki against branded despia decks 😂
Do it with no bystials no quem n no cartesia 4 da budget boyz
Part 2
Chain ash. Response?
Wtf is allabetrz
Remind me why I started playing yugioh again?????…….
This is super degenerate
Don’t look at the other decks then.
Part 2
