I don’t understand at 25:40 what I’m missing, but could the opponent use Cartesia when you declare end of main phase to fuse itself + Albaz in their hand to make Sanctifire? Then in the battle phase they can activate Sanctifire to give you some bullshit so that you don’t evenly them?
Yeah the actual play was to Lubellion search a Bystial first to check any Sanctifire summon then crash it to open evenly. They already banished merc with gold sarc so they would have to play 2 Merc or a second Quem and Branded Sword to get Merc back.
I am very new to yugioh trying to learn branded and this format helps the most.. just wondering since i am missing a bunch of useful UR cards, how come you’ve got so many of the UR gems, what are some ways to get them besides just grinding Ranked or events?
It's because I've played for 2 years that I have all the crafting points. Everyone gets the same amount of gems each month because they're basically only from ladder, daillies, and events.
@@josesalgado2796 yeah thats why, its interesting. There is youtuber (somehow he become monster hunter channel now), make yugioh video from his stream, so we know his mind process, either he panic, confused, etc.
Pretty entertaining replays and the commentary was very helpful ! Honestly though when are they going to just ban generic extra deck monsters like Baronne or Apo it's just so frustrating now you see someone play X archetype and then the endboard is just a new flavour of Apo/Baronne/any generic card that says no...
Not even a fan of Branded but here I am watching half hour of Main phase 3 shenanigans (As a Lab player can relate... same for people using Maxx C then Ash my only set trap) Didn't knew about Sanctifire's fusion protection., the more you know Neat commentary & replays, specially last one
Oh right, draw phase to play around I.P & similar.. But main phase 3 is legit in Lab, as opponent setting Called by so Cooclock can resolve saved me several times
Ah...I had some fun plays with some cards from the extra deck but it seems I might have to include Garura and Mudragon to get rid off annoying cards from the field when going against Snake Eyes. Mirror games against Banded Despia are fun though
Honestly most of the time against Snake-Eye's you're only eating one thing with Super Poly like an I:P or maybe a Savage. The best part is you make it with your own monster so you also dodge the Imperm/Veiler on your Aluber or Kitt and end up with a Mud that turns off Princess.
Another thing I wanted to ask you my man, How do you deal with floodgate Kashtira when they lock the GY? Is it good to maybe play Raigeki or something along with Thrust? Maybe Dark Ruler No More?When they go first, they sometimes have 5-6 monsters on the field so they can easily recover next game.@@TheShapestofSnatches
I understand it is probably weaker, but I am curious if you have ever tried a 60 card deck with a witchcrafter engine mixed in with a mostly branded deck? I have been having a lot of success with it but am admittedly less experienced than you with branded over all and my testing is all best of 1s in ranked. Happy to share my deck list for you to look over if you are willing to give feedback. No worries if you are too busy. Love the videos. Cheers.
The guy in the second branded mirror could totally have made sanctifire, no? He added albaz to hand off of the lost search, so he could have just activated cartesia and made it when you tried to go to battle phase couldn't he? I think he just goofed or wasn't aware that you can just sanctifire to turn off the evenly activating from the hand. Maybe he was just greedy and counted on you bluffing it or something lol.
Tbf I should've also played around it by adding Saronir with Lubellion to not only hit the potential Sanctifire target but also still crash into the Jade to clear the field for evenly again.
@@TheShapestofSnatches Oh yeah, sheet. I was thinking they can always just dodge the evenly from hand by giving you a defense monster, but you can still crash if you have a bystial to banish the reborn target. I don't see a lot of bystials on the ladder nowadays, but they're still really strong. It comes up in so many matchups, even in this format.
I thought i could rely on 1 meta deck (Branded) and that would suffice to help me collect gems to buy the jank i want. But noooo branded fusion to 1 so now i can hardly be bothered to play
Don’t need a playset of branded fusion when there are quite a few different in archetype cards as well as various other utility to use instead. Read the cards and practice with them. You don’t need UA-cam to tell you what’s “good”.
I do hate brandon, but when I'm up against the deck the other person just sets up this mega board that I can't play through with labrynth and die turn 3
They had no access to level 3 Scareclaws so Tri-Heart couldn't do anything but shift to defense (and if they banished Reichheart instead of the level 3 for Scarekash then they couldn't make Tri-Heart)
I play branded and kinda like it the game : with your current hand, find your combo to Mirror jade. It is a fun combo (for me) but not my opponent (in this case my cousin) But well one thing i dont like how it took quite long to reach "mirror jade". My cousin asked me, how to nerf branded. And i just said probably just limit original albaz to 1, i will have a headache. Also in my journey using branded, i always lost againts dark magician deck that already have DM the Dragon knight summoned and Eternal soul already activated on field.
So meta vs meta? Like, a dude using a deck that just got a couple of minor hits because it was soooooo over used and even with those hits it's still a top tier deck is now implying that he's doing some original stuff with all this explanation, it's just the same sh it's been going in the game for months and months, come on... in a month when Unchained hits Master Duel the videos are going to be "Snake-Eyes versus meta"
@@josesalgado2796 lmao nah, I had already tricked myself into building it long before he posted anything. Sucks that for all those URs, it can only sometimes get you wins lmao

Love the replay and the commentary, really helps players to understand the whys when making a certain move, keep it going champ!
Can’t wait for deck list hehe

This is interesting, ive been see many fast replay with music. But, watching it with commentator, its quite nice too.
I prefer the commentary instead of the music since you don't know the thought process

GGs need more content like this
Excited for the deck list NGL

Didn't knew about Sanctifire's fusion protection., the more you know
Neat commentary & replays, specially last one
I believe it's called main phase 0.5 in Lab
Oh right, draw phase to play around I.P & similar.. But main phase 3 is legit in Lab, as opponent setting Called by so Cooclock can resolve saved me several times
professor shapesnatch does it again, love the videos man
Deck list ?

@@grayfox8904 one tactics deals with the whole Kash board already. You can also out Ariseheart with Rindbrumm in a pinch
@@TheShapestofSnatches Nice
pls gib decklist ;)
I don't even play branded, just found this video interesting
Decklist?

I bet you're way more experienced with Witchcrafter than me
This deck is insane

I love branded, though I like playing 40 cards even though 60 is probably better 😅
Anyone ever tell you that you sound like a Runescape youtuber named ""Framed"?
Not until now
Scareclaw player in the first game should have went for tri-heart OTK
They had no access to level 3 Scareclaws so Tri-Heart couldn't do anything but shift to defense (and if they banished Reichheart instead of the level 3 for Scarekash then they couldn't make Tri-Heart)
Oh right you mirror jade banished it
Branded despia IS meta though
That's why there are games vs Branded too
Branded player with their tier 1 for all of Master Duel history deck complaining about meta? Smh.
Lol I was about to say this too. Their 60 min episode of main phase followed by 1 min trailers in our turn
I play branded and kinda like it the game : with your current hand, find your combo to Mirror jade. It is a fun combo (for me) but not my opponent (in this case my cousin)
But well one thing i dont like how it took quite long to reach "mirror jade".
My cousin asked me, how to nerf branded. And i just said probably just limit original albaz to 1, i will have a headache.
Also in my journey using branded, i always lost againts dark magician deck that already have DM the Dragon knight summoned and Eternal soul already activated on field.
But yeah, i agree and want branded got nerf more.
Branded is fun but boring to sit against, snake eyes is just repetitive
I know right ? Branded has no right to complain about meta lmao
So meta vs meta? Like, a dude using a deck that just got a couple of minor hits because it was soooooo over used and even with those hits it's still a top tier deck is now implying that he's doing some original stuff with all this explanation, it's just the same sh it's been going in the game for months and months, come on... in a month when Unchained hits Master Duel the videos are going to be "Snake-Eyes versus meta"
Don't think you'll need to worry about that
Nice 8 axis deck lmao
Did he also trick you into building it xD? TBH 2 board wipes like Raigeki, lightning storm, interrupted Kaiju Etc beats snake eyes
@@josesalgado2796 lmao nah, I had already tricked myself into building it long before he posted anything. Sucks that for all those URs, it can only sometimes get you wins lmao
branded vs the meta? you mean is* the meta lol
People in the comments are being mega cringe, how do you deal with this lol
