Pure 1 card combo (no extra discards) for Power Vice Dragon as your starter. This combo does not contain bricks like Crimson Call and Chain Resonator, as you may have seen elsewhere. The only 4 bricks you play are Synkron, Vision and Darkness Resonators, as well as Branded Beast.

I have split this combo into 2 branches, depending on what you search with Power Vice, which both lead to basically the same end board. The only difference is that, if you search Soul Resonator with Power Vice, then you also get to keep Crimson Gaia on the field for follow-up.

Yes, you could also play any of the RDA traps, but they are bricks going second, while Branded Beast is also a boardbreaker going second, if you get early access to Lubellion. Also important to consider is that Branded Beast is the only card in your deck that protects you from set Albaz play, which if your opponent resolves, you lose your whole board of monsters.
