Notes & Combos
Simply draw well :^)
Personally I've never liked running handtraps in branded, I really like that 90% of the deck are in-archetype cards.
I started in silver 5, it was an odyssey. Up to D5 I used Ad Libitum and High Spirits instead of 2 called by, once you get to diamond ash can really kill you but you can still play through or around ash via retribution + branded in white alongside cartesia,... or just punish the sins of your opponent if they ash aluber or fusion deplo while you have brafu in hand.
Lubellion getting lost is good if you are still fusion summoning to get a merc otherwise regained is more favorable. If you play one merc you are playing wrong. Used double retribution because recycling is nice.
Chimera never let me down but I agree that Furious Dragon has more use than Chimera, however, considering there's more ED monster coming in the future I decided to save my UR dust.
Replays
640-234-106 The first one was the rank up match to master where I don't fully resolve a single branded fusion. The second one is a board that was built different. The rest are silly ftks ive done (unrelated to branded).
Shout-out to April, their videos helped me learn the new cards and lines faster. One of April's videos: https://youtu.be/8e7aJzYROi8?si=K0DY2l-w7OFi3GG8
