Congrats on the win!!! I was sitting here looking for something to watch then I see this. What amazing timing and soo many moments I was screaming LET'S GOO in this vid. Great performance!
i think they will. and it wouldnt be so bad personally. the deck can easily survive a few light hits, and when its not so popular a lot of opponents forget how to fight it, and their lists dont prepare as much.
I LOVE your Branded replays. I have so much respect for you, April. I even changed my name in Master Duel to "November" (my month of birth) in honor of your Name ("April") :D. Keep on being clapping with Branded!!
The fact that you changed your name out of such adoration and respect makes you a certified sweetie. I'm an April fan too as branded probably has the highest level of intricacies from any other archetype and April is one of the best pilots of this deck. Happy poly-ing to us all :D
Hello April, gratz on the 1st place, hope you dont mind me asking, what do you think about the powerlevel of snake-eyes? a lot of people seem to dislike the tier 0 snake-eyes format, but honestly it doesnt even look strong to me, it has great recovery but almost any disruption seems to absolutely destroy snake-eyes, i think coming from a format with shs, manadium, kash, and VS, they dont seem that strong, i really like the amount of interaction in this format
@@AprilShowerz Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer, branded has been really rising since quem and albion release, tho it didn't even get much more than that I enjoyed your small branded list, and the guide, your content on other decks is also amazing, gl on next tourneys
is there any updated decklist to this? i noticed that on 1 of your matches, you have droll, but the decklist dont have that. I'm planning to play this too. looks amazing
so i dont normally just replace cards that get banned or hit, i think its better to build the deck from scratch again. In this case though, i think the fix is pretty simple. ill probably play a few less cards if i can, and play a 2nd copy of kitt, or maybe some nadir servants.
Ive been back and forth on thrust vs nadir servant in ranked and it seems you alternated between them during the tournament. What would you say determines playing one over the other?
i didnt alternate. i prefer thrust. nadir was played in my side deck for going 1st. usually i take out superpoly or maxx c or ash for going 1st. its important not to brick on non-engine in this deck, so i side extra engine
I'm happy for you April, I just hate Konami for being unfair. They hit most of my deck i played: - D-Link (Dead) - Purrely (Dead) - Kashtira (more bricked to dead) - Labrynth (4/10 games being unbrick) But they keep Branded untouched 😔. I mean, without any further hit Kashtira already bricked but they keep hitting it. Idk if Purrely is good when they're release the smol Noir with the current banlist.
Arent all those decks meta, tho?(kinda expected those to get hit eventually) and excuse me if this sounds rude, but Kashtira was trash on day 1 and was always a bricky mess
@@HeroKnightDByeah I agree on Kash being trash and it's all because their field spell limited to 1. If they got 3 field spell then it would've been better.
@@HeroKnightDB and yes i am on that position that Kashtira on day 1 of Arise-Heart release is bricky AF, you can even build a house from it. That's the only reason why i didn't agree that Kashtira deserve a hit.
Huge fan of your content, I loved the short guide on branded, I only play master duel, but i'll like to know how to side deck against the matchups, I saw the nadir servant into laberinth, but i don't know what to cut for, if you can teach us that I will glad you 4ever🫶🏻
i side the nadir servant for when im going 1st. its important not to brick on non-engine when i go 1st, so i take out superpoly or maxx c or ash for extra starters.
Sick I needed more branded videos, this deck is hard to learn but this is the best channel to learn from
Congrats on the 1st place! Let's slay snaaaaaakes!
You and your plays are insane. The amount of 9000 iq plays in this video alone is incredible! GGs!
Unbelievable. That Baronne bait and switch in the second clip was absolutely perfect.
Marvelous games, April!! Bringing home the W for the Branded Gang indeed!😁
Congrats!
bro you're so clean with branded... i'm so happy to learn this deck because of you and i'll be waiting for more branded's videos😅
Congrats on the win!!! I was sitting here looking for something to watch then I see this. What amazing timing and soo many moments I was screaming LET'S GOO in this vid. Great performance!
glad u liked 🥰
@@AprilShowerzi dont have super poly, should i craft it. Or do you have any replacement in your opinion?
you probably want it. you could play more handtraps instead though. like veiler.@@TeemoonMaster
15:18 the realest Maxx C minigame
Always learn something new watching your lines. Not actually playing branded atm but once I’m done learning infernobles I will for the ranked climb.
Insane plays! thanks for the video!
That branded in white off the top was sick holy
i sure did use up some luck reserves with that one
these games were insane just two top decks competing at max power level…. it was a crazy back and forth holy in each game
This is really great play! I really enjoy all the times that you show how to dodge negation by holding a fusion point in hand!
First game was brilliant! You guessed the nibiru in his hand correctly, took precautions, and did lethal without getting to 5 summons!
Congratulations on the W! You are a boss!!
yugioh and touhou my 2 favorite things
Good video as always and congratulations on your competition! I would like to see you defeating kashtira, I hate that deck -.-
Congratulations! You can see some lines that I wouldn't even dream of lol
The only true brandon goat I recognize. Period
Truly a poggies Master Cup, I'm happy you won, sad I couldn't fight you but it's alright. gg April :DD
Congrats on the win! Reasons why I remain iffy not including Bystials in my decks.
Holy shit, in the top 4 and Finals you were possessed and played out of your mind.... dammmnnnnnnnnnnnnn sonnnn
what a top 4 GG
Amazing plays throughout! I really hope they don't hit branded...
i think they will. and it wouldnt be so bad personally. the deck can easily survive a few light hits, and when its not so popular a lot of opponents forget how to fight it, and their lists dont prepare as much.
I LOVE your Branded replays. I have so much respect for you, April. I even changed my name in Master Duel to "November" (my month of birth) in honor of your Name ("April") :D. Keep on being clapping with Branded!!

congrats for ur winning ^^
after suffer u received, it's all fully paid XD
waiting for ur next tour ^^
I dont like branded because its so OP, but i like that you make videos for players. Thank you!
What was that play in game 2 with tearlments oh god 😮
congrats
Hello April, gratz on the 1st place, hope you dont mind me asking, what do you think about the powerlevel of snake-eyes?
a lot of people seem to dislike the tier 0 snake-eyes format, but honestly it doesnt even look strong to me, it has great recovery but almost any disruption seems to absolutely destroy snake-eyes, i think coming from a format with shs, manadium, kash, and VS, they dont seem that strong, i really like the amount of interaction in this format
snake has a lot of interactive gameplay yeah. i like the deck a lot. its not really tier 0 i think. branded is honestly just as strong.
@@AprilShowerz Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer, branded has been really rising since quem and albion release, tho it didn't even get much more than that
I enjoyed your small branded list, and the guide, your content on other decks is also amazing, gl on next tourneys
is there any updated decklist to this? i noticed that on 1 of your matches, you have droll, but the decklist dont have that. I'm planning to play this too. looks amazing
its a best of 3 tournament that uses a side deck. the droll is in my side deck and i sided it in for that matchup.
Amazing job winning the tournament! Do you think the main list you brought is the best for ladder or would you make changes for laddering?
its best for ladder in my opinion too!
You make me play branded 💪🏻 what is your opinion about the banlist?does it matter? Love your videos
its a minor hit. itll hurt a little but not too much. ill be playing a similar list.
@@AprilShowerz van you Show the New List? I‘m very exited
First of all congratulations, any opinions on branded opening to one? And soul piercer to two?
soul piercer not a big deal. opening is annoying, but branded is still very very strong 💥
Subbed
Congrats on the win April!
I really want to give m0rad_ props as well, man you had the sauce
Will you try vanquish soul in tourament? Really want to see you to play that arch type
there is a version i want to try. not thought about using it in a tournament tho
Meanwhile TCG players throwing games just to try and resolve Gimmick Puppet. You hate to see it
i was hoping there'd be commentary explaining choices
sorry! maybe someday ill get around to adding that to my videos
16:40 can someone explain why is Droplet activatable? I thought the Branded Lost is protecting the fusion summoning.
Fusion duplication's effect isn't a fusion summon, it's an effect that copies an effect, so lost doesn't protect
What are you thinking of replacing the one copy of opening with?
so i dont normally just replace cards that get banned or hit, i think its better to build the deck from scratch again. In this case though, i think the fix is pretty simple. ill probably play a few less cards if i can, and play a 2nd copy of kitt, or maybe some nadir servants.
Ive been back and forth on thrust vs nadir servant in ranked and it seems you alternated between them during the tournament. What would you say determines playing one over the other?
i didnt alternate. i prefer thrust. nadir was played in my side deck for going 1st. usually i take out superpoly or maxx c or ash for going 1st. its important not to brick on non-engine in this deck, so i side extra engine
thoughts on branded opening be limited to 1? 😢 is the deck still top tier?
its ok! the deck will be good still
how did you come up with a 49 cards deck list btw 3 high spirits is sooo nasty
i think branded is good with any amount of cards. you just have to scale the number of starters, non-engine, and bricks appropriately
I'm happy for you April, I just hate Konami for being unfair. They hit most of my deck i played:
- D-Link (Dead)
- Purrely (Dead)
- Kashtira (more bricked to dead)
- Labrynth (4/10 games being unbrick)
But they keep Branded untouched 😔.
I mean, without any further hit Kashtira already bricked but they keep hitting it. Idk if Purrely is good when they're release the smol Noir with the current banlist.
Arent all those decks meta, tho?(kinda expected those to get hit eventually) and excuse me if this sounds rude, but Kashtira was trash on day 1 and was always a bricky mess
@@HeroKnightDByeah I agree on Kash being trash and it's all because their field spell limited to 1. If they got 3 field spell then it would've been better.
@@HeroKnightDB most of meta deck that high consistency deserve a hit, and i agree with that.
@@HeroKnightDB and yes i am on that position that Kashtira on day 1 of Arise-Heart release is bricky AF, you can even build a house from it. That's the only reason why i didn't agree that Kashtira deserve a hit.
Huge fan of your content, I loved the short guide on branded, I only play master duel, but i'll like to know how to side deck against the matchups, I saw the nadir servant into laberinth, but i don't know what to cut for, if you can teach us that I will glad you 4ever🫶🏻
i side the nadir servant for when im going 1st. its important not to brick on non-engine when i go 1st, so i take out superpoly or maxx c or ash for extra starters.
Ty!!! Congrats again!!🎉 do you have a discord server or other social media like instagram or tiktok?
