3:53 that's valid, I only play tragedy in 60 card builds, where you need to have access to a lot of starters, but in a 40-50 card deck it's really nothing I'm banking on, it hurts BAD to open with it too
@@lamalaminiert9514 Never came up. people were prepping for Crossover breakers because here in MN we have a regional the day after so I played against a lot of tenpai.

Honestly summon them just as much as Quem depending on the opponents deck if they’ll be using extra deck monsters or not.
@ difficult to explain in details how it works in this way but basically the advantage of playing this both engines is to end on a diabellze + mirrorjade and guardian chimera(most of the time). Back in the days i was playing a 40 cards branded chimera but after the banlist i find my self to try a new version with 60 cards
@user-vg1fb6ow7y I'm playing a 50 cards version (more or less). And I'm having a really great time in testing. I'm always in doubt if I want to play a version that is able to recycle Brafu for a better grind game (with Kitt and Cartesia) or not, considering that you have already a big follow Up with Chimera. I recommend trying The Light+Dragoon in extra since you don't have other Omni negates otherwise
@@francesco5498 yes i have considered playing the light and dark dragoon but havent tested yet ! I can send you my 60card list on twitter or discord if you want to
Light and Darkness Dragonlord is INSANE, really dig that guy. I also main Masquerade because it is my answer to combo heavy decks, it generally brings them into OTK range by time they full combo. EDIT* only reason I like Tragedy is when I have a pitch say to Albaz or Droplet, it helps with the decks momentum. I also run Glory b/c I just seem to win more w/him. I excluded him for a very, very long time and started dabbling again with him using as a secondary send from the deck (when Albion is used already) and it works really well. It also helps when using Albaz b/c you can summon Glory from normal summoning Albaz and using the level 8 to clear something big off the board (situational, i know). It's generic requirement is like how Titans is useful.
Hey Galzo! Thanks for keeping us updated on what's good for the deck in the current format. Would you be able to to a test hands+combo video to help us further understand the lines? It feels like I don't know what to do with the deck anymore
Why didn't you go with the Azamina Engine? I feel like with Dominus Impulse in the meta you need another way to push past an interrupted Branded Fusion, and Dominus Impulse doesn't turn on Thrust for Fusion Duplication. That's why I feel like going with either the Azamina or Nadir Servant engine is optimal. Or do you not need those supplementary engines if you're a good enough pilot?
im convinced Black Goat Laughs is a main deck card in the deck. Between ash and impulse, good players dont let you get Brafu into the GY to begin with so the Thrust into duplication isnt an option. In these cases Black goat saves you for a turn. And going second if you draw it its a great discard value
I'm going to be honest. I think tragedy is goated. I'm also a budget player, so it could change after i get more cards for the build later down the line. But I think it's google and can go to at least one in any variant you play. My thought is if all else fails, you can at least search a branded spell. But we'll see how I feel as I get more cards. Much love
Lol watching this was really nice considering I've being playing 45 cards for a long time and the main deck is the same list minus branded in white. Also I never considered cutting tragedy but I can see it now. The extra is the same but quaeritis over lulu and for the side since I don't have fuwaros I had 3 purulia instead and then no Harpie/soul release and I had 3 DRNM instead. Overall very similar list and Ive liked it so far
@@mahlazor that's the reason I decided to keep tragedy in my local yesterday. Gold sard would lose value and I'd have to change my deck more but I didn't like where those changes were leading the deck.
I've been playing Khaos starsource dragon over chimera lately, I like having the ability to turn it into LADL after the 2 pops if you have cartesia, but I also haven't had much success with resolving guardian chimera because the instances that I would play it I usually just would rather puppet instead. Going second I find making Khaos to break the board and then going into LADL after battle if I can't get there that turn is too strong to look over.
Thank you for the explanations, I love watch your content and see you playing branded. However, isn't it hard to summon Chimera when you don't play super poly ?
You cannot summon Guardian Chimera with super poly . Guardian chimera requires you to use materials from hand and field. Super poly uses materials on either side of the field
@@michaelnguyen0716 Oh yes , you're right. I think I have to practice my timing of summoning Chimera. On which ints do you pay attention to know the optimal timing for summoning it ?
The extra deck makes me think of my masterduel extra deck. Same basic 10 but my flex spots are a lil different. Im with you on luluwalilith, shes a game winner on board if you can couple her with mirrorjades effect to banish, and sometimes i like making her more than quaritis, whom is my other despian. Im writing this whole thing because i seriously think you should keep quaritis. Sometimes you gotta send a cartesia and granguignol off high spirits and you need something else to turn aluber into if he gets impermed, in that case quaritis is perfect because hes just easier to make than proskenian. In a perfect world id run all three because quaritis also tags into albaz or proskenian which catches a lotta people by surprise, so proskenians gotta go if it means i can make a surprise mirrorjade. I like chimera too but hes more so just for the branded in red ad lib combo, but tbh just making a whole new one seems better in most cases. My last 2 spots are dragostepelia and colossus. I like banishing thunderdragondark with albaz to make lubellion under shifter, than spining them back for dragostepelia and colossus off of lubellion and the hawk i search through the dark one. Irl though yeah dragon lord is the goat, and im thinking of going back to playing puppet
How you summon light and darkness dragon to play around shifter? And also, how you play around mulcharmi fluwalos? That thing it’s everywhere in my locals!!!!
He pretty much covers his answer on this @18:36 in the video. Basically, he says that even though you can do "cheeky" stuff with the Azamina package he feels using Super Poly and Azamina cards doesn't work as good of board breakers as Book of Eclipse, Droplet, Evenly, etc. Granted since he's playing puppet lock, there is a way to maximize Azamina puppet lock shown by Torgpool in one of his shorts.
Hi, I just came back from a long hiatus (I stopped playing when Spright/Tearlaments released and I just couldn't) I played Branded despia when I was actively playing and i'm looking to update the deck. I touched a bit of bystials on master duel, but I never got to the point of really understanding the combo lines, also never played with Quem, and I don't even know what Gimmick puppet is. All this to say, I'd really appreciate a video on combo lines and what should I look for. I don't know how many people if anyone at all is asking for this, so maybe a long comment replying here is enough. And apart from the generic questions I've already asked, I have 3 specific ones, on the previous videos with a 40 card deck and the 60 card grass one, you used Magnamhut, but not here, on the 40 card deck there's only 1 saronir, and one magnamhut, here there's no magna but 2 saronir, why is that? 2nd question, also on the 60 card grass video you said that Quaeritis and Light and Darkness are optional, and on that video I wanted to comment, what about Lulu? but since here you play it in place of quaeritis, I think that's what I'm going to do, so the question changed to, what about Garura? what happened to Dragostapelia? I've always played this deck with at least 2 copies of super poly, so I'm surprised to see that you didn't on any of the 3 decklists, while other videos or decklists online do play it. Should I just put it on the side deck with garura and dragostapelia? simmilar to how you put Alba Lenatus and Masquerade on the side deck in the grass build? Edit: Also, why is Titaniklad mandatory (proably this one is answered if someone guides me through some combo lines) Edit 2: Well I can't afford the Mulcharmy stuff so I'm gonna chug 3 super polys on the side deck, yeah.
Thrust is not great when you can’t get access to brafu, or if your opponent doesn’t ash you. Imperm/veiler has made thrust hit or miss for the last year. Impulse and shifter just furthers this issue.
There’s a great 40 card ocg build with 3 duality and 3 fusion dupli, 1 blazing king. Duality has a lot of utility, dusk into dragoon, lubellion into furious, Albion into sanct. Blazing king beats drnm and droplet
I personally was thinking of cutting Quarteris for Proskenion, which currently sounds nuts, but Proskenion is a GY interruption that the deck needs against the meta I feel.
I would love to see someone find a statistic on Grass vs Non-grass 46-50 card variants because I keep hearing that grass is the way to go, but all of the profiles I see that top are running 46-50 cards non grass
To be fair tragedy isn’t the worst when you’ve also opened one of your 3 copies of Deployment which can summon Cartesia and fuse the tragedy off to search Aluber 🤷🏻♂️
@@jhoneism yeah but the idea is that you don’t have tragedy in hand so you don t have to do an unnecessary search and have something else more useful in hand
@@zwurka6826 for sure! I’m wondering how often he gets to full combo though considering if I recall correctly he wasn’t running Gold Sarc or Foolish Burial Its definitely a tragedy to draw tragedy but it’s like running even more copies of Aluber
I was thinking about 2 kit since branded fusion is limited it can get it back from banished also: so if you use fusion duplication, kit can get it back. I have been in situations where I wish I ran 2
Huh… I think your confused fusion duplication would banish the branded fusion; retribution doesn’t add branded fusion back from banish only graveyard friend
Branded fusion to 1, about to enter another tear 0 format and you still want branded to be affected more by Banning Santicfire? Branded is already mid low man.
Love it when you upload bro! Prob the best Branded main RUclipsr. Keep up the good work 🔥🫡

I like Tragedy in a 60 card built with grass, but in 46 i agree completly cutting it. (maybe try side Spheremode, i think it is insane this format)
I'm testing sphere mode at locals today since I don't have charmies. Will return with how it goes

Hi galzo. I don’t like to play puppet for you is a good choice to cut sanctifire ??
Absolutely
I went 2-2, second night playing it. Also, I still dont have my lubellion yet. Mail is slow. I also did not buy any thrust.
Interesting.
in a 60 card build is bystial lubellion mandatory at 3 or can you get away with 1?
46 is a great number ❤
I was thinking about 2 kit since branded fusion is limited it can get it back from banished also: so if you use fusion duplication, kit can get it back. I have been in situations where I wish I ran 2
no need, kitt add back retribution and you got branded fusion in a loop. You're welcome 😉
Huh… I think your confused fusion duplication would banish the branded fusion; retribution doesn’t add branded fusion back from banish only graveyard friend
Maybe I missed it, did you explain why you cut Astellar?
Because he has a lot of normal summon monsters. Astellar it’s good in 60 cards build
How do you feel about 2 Retributions?
you don't need to run a 2nd, Kitt & Tragedy can recycle it.
10:07 2 mirrorjade is mandatory at least for my locals people still play kash or even just the engine and kash unicorn is annoying
15:52 or lulu
More Branded Azamina?
I don't want to play puppet, is it fine to not cut tragedy and add ad libitum as a trade off to the gimmick puppet?
100%

Porque no juegas 60 con cesped o ves mejor llevar entre 40 y 50
