zoned out while watching this video and came to with absolutely no understanding of how to play Branded but a full One Piece TCG crash course imprinted into my brain
I think Game 1 against Yubel, Branded Sword can add back Lubellion Fusion. If Albaz is a Fusion requirement it is mentioned on the card so would be a better outcome 1:48:55
there are other avenues for locking too, I made a 50 card D/D/D lock that I can break out when i'm feeling toxic and am just sick and tired of the one card combo spam in meta decks nowadays
@@nativeninja94 in MD(where I spend most of my time) its a bit different where way more branded cards are limited and you're forced to play at least 50 cards to increase consistency. that plus maxx c being unrestricted and your opponent seeming to always have one if not two in hand makes it fun to punish the meta spammers with something like a D/D/D lock just to frustrate them
That first game of the branded v snake eye fiendsmith was really good, but also very instructive in how to navigate. When you S:P banish you almost always go for lost, it’s a very important card that you don’t back into rotation which is what happened in this match. There wasn’t really a reason to banish cartesia over lost especially since having 1 or 2 in grave doesn’t make a difference. It was a minor mistake but had a major impact on the game giving branded a chance to explode without interaction.
I don't think it's come up yet but just so you know, Rindbrumm grave eff doesn't banish for cost, so for example game one when your opponent bystial'd the albaz, Rindbrumm would have stayed in grave which could come up later on in the grind game. Otherwise, great video!
@pak have you considered doing like a voice over analysis of your games in these videos? I feel like it would really add a lot of value for viewers to kinda see your thought process when approaching a board going 2nd etc and explaining why you chose to make certain plays. just a thought
Pak the fact that you said you would go and do this on the tsx1 vid which I thought you were just saying it for banter 😂 but you actually went out and did it you're a man of your word fr I love that
Ice barrier mermail HYPE!( Also during that first combo, he can't overlay after he uses mirror mage since it does lock you specifically into water synchros)
Branded is definitely one of the coolest and still consistently powerful decks out there, after all these years. Literally, the only thing that makes the deck genuinely terrible to play against is sanctifire/any way to do the puppet lock. Funnily enough, the deck can still win even without it, but I can’t blame players for picking the easiest and most sure fire way to win against most decks
I think the existence of zealantis otk made puppet much more necessary. You could use all your interactions correctly, but if they got to 3/4 monsters you still got otkd. Now that snake isn’t playing that combo anymore you can afford to not puppet them because it’s less likely you’ll be otkd on the crack back.
Wow, who would've thought the deck is still viable without those two cards? Its not like the deck doesnt have a million other cards to play with. I literally saw a video about someone complaining that they wish Branded had a main deck boss... YOU DO, ITS CALLED DRAMATURGE.
I’ve been testing a build with no puppet, lost, or thrust. Lots of bystials and bihs. Going back to the older combo of mj, rind, bir, beast and regained. But now you have quem which gives you an additional interaction
Also, the reason you can afford to not play puppet is because snake doesn’t play zealantis anymore. I commented this below as well, basically you could play your turn perfectly but snake could consistently get back to 3 monsters and just zea otk you. Now that that’s not played you’re more likely to not be otkd and win on your next turn.
@@dominic7100i dont see why you wouldnt run lost tho like even if its not your initial go to since you have the regained/beast line its such a good card to keep running
I can't imagine ANYONE trying to flame the people that get brought on stream. Shoutout to them for giving us some duels and honestly some give us some banging content via banter or attitude. Thanks for sharing more locals stuff, solid work mate.
the title is a real pot kettle moment. just because you don't need it doesn't mean it should get banned because you as a top player don't need ash,imperm,veiler but you play them even though they only punish lower tier decks in the same way a floodgate punishes meta.
I know that the main goal of the video it's the branded deck, but in the match against the ice barrier deck the player made a illegal play on the end board. He couldn't xyz summon because of the lock of mirror mage to synchro water for the rest of the turn, nothing that could change bc of dark ruler but play right and be careful.
@33:46 Why did you use the Mirrorjade effect at endphase? Even if by battle, the jade effect will still be active since it left the field via an opponent card.
You can really hit the deck hard by hitting Branded Lost, since it effectively "chainblocks" its entire combos and makes the Bystial lines not as good. Not being able to respond to your monsters being destroyed/ banished/ backrow being popped is really nasty and effectively makes all your cards like superpoly.
Weird it’s almost like everybody knows the deck is actually fine without those cards and can compete that’s why it’s so annoying that y’all chose to do it.
Hey Pak 27:40 u activate Rindbrumm and ur opponent chains Bystial; doesn’t rin try to resolve as much as possible and ss himself out? Or bc wasn’t properly summon it fizzle? Bc if it fizzle rin stays in grave and if resolves as much as possible u get another body.
@@DOGB14 Yes i know it but one of the materials needs to be Fallen of Albaz and as far as I know when a monster is face down on the field it is considered a "nameless monster with unknown type/attribute"
So Game 1 vs Yubel I think you have Game if you add Tragedy Make Chimera Pop Sharvara and Pain, then Quem summon Albaz, Albaz fuse off XYZ for Jade, Battle Chimera over Apo then ATK direct with everything else.
During the match versus yubel, why haven t you have return lubellion to the extra whit branded sword in order to fuse fallen of albaz and samsara? I think you could do it, it seems that you belive you couldn't
Puppet lock is the secondary plan for if the opponent opens up 3 or more interrupts, its not the go to combo. Its just the oh, you wanna cram 20+ hand traps into your deck, okay. Imma lock you out then. It really isnt that broken.
Whats the deck list pls? always respect no playing trash puppet , konami doing it the most optimal way is disgusting instead of promoting the actual theme
2 types of Pak content:
-meta discussion
-another branded video
and sleeve ads in between each lol
zoned out while watching this video and came to with absolutely no understanding of how to play Branded but a full One Piece TCG crash course imprinted into my brain
Bro same
Happy to see branded still doing branded things even without the cancer cards…
Btw that game 1 end phase was ridiculous
it was more like a third main phase xD
I swear the way Pac says “Quaeritis” is the only thing bro ever does wrong with Branded lol
Banishing Merc for Rindbrum summon, search Albion, dump Sword, banish sword, add Merc back to hand....*Chef's Kiss*
I think Game 1 against Yubel, Branded Sword can add back Lubellion Fusion. If Albaz is a Fusion requirement it is mentioned on the card so would be a better outcome 1:48:55
Ya Sword can add back Lubellion back. Works in Master Duel
51:38 cannot overlay after resolving mirror mage effect as it locks into WATER SYNCHRO
New branded player that never touched puppet, so excited to see some high level play with out it.
Same! I’m not trying to promote toxic gameplay, branded strong enough without locking opponent

I think FSSE and Branded are both ridiculous overtuned decks, but no one can say that game 1 wasn't an amazing game

Why did you decide not to play them? Are you seeing how the deck would function if those cards got banned? *{::>_
Yeah but also I think he’s trying to show even without them the deck is still very powerful
Yes. That and the previous guys comment are the only 2 reasons in existence for why he wouldn't. Not much of a mystery here..
Yes he’s showing that the deck isn’t just gimmick puppet turbo like what people think
He’s trying to convince Konami to not ban them
@@chestnutmouse6823
Knowing Konami TCG, they'd probably ban Sanctifire instead anyway.

@@oneofthekindscarf8612 going 1st you will brick about 10% of the time which is pretty bad
How branded should be played
Damn shame for sanctifire
I really like how it interacts with the engine itself
Literally errata Sanctifire to negate the card summoned to the opponent's field and it's perfect
Fr love summoning albion to their board and albaz to mine make mirrorjade and resolve albion a second time in the EP
@@oneofthekindscarf8612 my understanding was that the lock is a condition not effect but if im wrong thats a gerat idea

Love the Branded vids Pak, started playing the deck (w/o sanct ofc) because of you
39:34 illegal activation of talents. Saronir activation got negated by apo so you didn’t use a monster effect in his turn

Nooooooo! I was just about to watch this on twitch but now I already know your record :')
Pak please make a branded masterduel video, i need a good branded decklist so bad
Game 1 was great play by both players, that's how you use every card in your hand
I know that the main goal of the video it's the branded deck, but in the match against the ice barrier deck the player made a illegal play on the end board. He couldn't xyz summon because of the lock of mirror mage to synchro water for the rest of the turn, nothing that could change bc of dark ruler but play right and be careful.
Despia Dad back again with a banger🙏🏻
The deck is fine without it, just like centurion does not need calamity
Quick note in game 2 he cant summon the xyz because mirror mage locks you into water synchros 😊
nesh has been very quite ever since this video dropped
@33:46 Why did you use the Mirrorjade effect at endphase? Even if by battle, the jade effect will still be active since it left the field via an opponent card.
What did you discard for branded opening and fallen of albaz In game 1 match 1?
Bro never pays cost
He discarded the branfu added by albion for opening and discarded the blazing carte added by lost for albaz, if you didn't follow

Well this aged poorly.
First dude has his deck marked 🤦🏻♂️💀 some cards had weird black marks on the back side he still loose 😂😂🤡
it's called dirt/dust and shows easily on white sleeves... no way he has that memorized for cheating are you serious lol
Weird it’s almost like everybody knows the deck is actually fine without those cards and can compete that’s why it’s so annoying that y’all chose to do it.
I hope to see a 50-60 card Chimera/illusion/Branded and just locking the opponent with Diabellez & Abyss statue post ban list 🙃
I have never played the Gimmick Puppet package, so im ready for the banlist.
Hey Pak 27:40 u activate Rindbrumm and ur opponent chains Bystial; doesn’t rin try to resolve as much as possible and ss himself out? Or bc wasn’t properly summon it fizzle? Bc if it fizzle rin stays in grave and if resolves as much as possible u get another body.

Bro I can not find that mat online . Where’d you get it?
1:42:00 doesn't appo go to 0 atk if her attack gain is trough the effect which was negated?
The official site says it went up the 15th but is still the old ban list.
nice vid bro !! where is the decklist ?🤩
Pak= Banned :/
Dont tell them that branded does not need shifter
1:48:53 How could you not return lubellion to your hand? The card mentions albaz in materials needed to fusion summon him, im confused
I believe when a card says "mention X", "X" has to specifically be in the effect, not materials.
He was allowed, psyched himself out I guess
At the 1st round, how did you summon Alba Lenatus when fallen of albaz was face down on the field?
If you check out the card you’ll see that you can also special summon it by removing materials from the board as well.
@@DOGB14 Yes i know it but one of the materials needs to be Fallen of Albaz and as far as I know when a monster is face down on the field it is considered a "nameless monster with unknown type/attribute"

Anyone got the reference for the mat of game's 2 opponent ?

Locals be that way bro
We need the List! 🥺
So Game 1 vs Yubel I think you have Game if you add Tragedy Make Chimera Pop Sharvara and Pain, then Quem summon Albaz, Albaz fuse off XYZ for Jade, Battle Chimera over Apo then ATK direct with everything else.
Which rarity is considered max rarity for the branded cards?
The QCRs or Ultis?
QCR, but tbh as long as we are talking old/ots Ultis, I'll play them over QCR/Starlight all day long.
Happy ro SEE PAK doing well o a tourney without Sanctifire/Puppet. Hope Konami see this performing. It's useless ban those Cards
During the match versus yubel, why haven t you have return lubellion to the extra whit branded sword in order to fuse fallen of albaz and samsara?
I think you could do it, it seems that you belive you couldn't
Based.
In the first game
U banished rindbrum as a cost which is not

in 1. game of round 1 why didnt he first activate BraFu and go to battle phase after a few Fusion summons?
Why buy a lovely playmat with designated spaces for things to not use said spaces for the correct things?
7:09 you activated deployment, chaining droplet, sending blazing and the activated deployment?!?
Where do you see the second deployment? He activated deployment chained droplet sending 2 to negate appo and desirae then resolved deployment.
dude is playing in the future. What banlist lol
Cannot talent round 1 game 2 since the activation was negated
You can’t imperm cartesia under lost?
Can we get a deck list?
1st game why not place lost before contact fusing so you can add a card + flamberge cant respond along with princess
Pretty sure contact fusing is not a fusion summon but a special summon so lost doesn't protect and search
Branded is one of those decks I just want konami to take out back behind the barn and just put it out, would make me a happier man
the interesting is if they simply ban fallen of albaz, they can nuke the entire deck.
