Congrats on the top! I still play branded as well. I think it solves so many issues with the deck. Gets you that missing piece. Did you like running just 12 hand traps though? I think at that number board breakers would be pretty impactful. Can't argue with a t16 finish, but just wondering if its something you've considered and maybe tested before. 🎉
I liked the hand traps so that my opponent’s end board wasn’t as strong. Makes it easier to crack. Depends on the meta though, maybe I’ll prefer board breakers at some point. But yes, I much prefer the Branded package. The deck feels so strong going first with it
Skull, Lo, Sage and Fusion (Borreload if blind game 1) with Barrier and trap (sometimes Blessing if I have a second ritual in hand like Odd-Eyes. When you ritual on their turn you can then bring back Lo and place trap that way). If you don’t see Branded, it’s nice to end on I:P with trap as you can play around Droplets that way (CL1 Skull to negate, CL2 Droplets, CL3 flip the trap, CL4 I:P eff to dodge Droplet - this assumes your opponent didn’t send a trap for Droplet).
I’m still repping the Branded in my VV too brother! Congrats on the top!

can you explain the siding pattern against branded ?
Dagssss
How do you make Rindbrumn with this deck ?
D.d. crow
Branded 43 is why the deck isn’t doing better. It’s inconsistent.
