Notes & Combos

MAN **** BRANDED

I've always wanted to take Branded FS to M1, and now that normal Branded is borderline unplayable thanks to Lancea and Impulse and no one is maindecking bystials, the deck can shine a bit. Endboard is Caeser + MJ without tuner access, with tuner access you can also end on Baronne, so your ceiling is a bit low but maliss is insanely fake going second

Techs: Imperm and veiler are actually surprisingly decent into maliss, esp. when paired with nib. I don't have Belle crafted.

Called by is worthless. Trash going second and just gets negated by lancea going first.

Cut fuwa. IMO it is really bad into maliss. Unlike the TCG the deck is at full power here, so they almost always get the chessy cat pot of greed and end on a negate + a banish for 1 draw, and this deck is too fake to play into that, so throwing imperms and veilers at them is better.

Cut Albion and khaos because no one is playing FS now so no lights on field.

Added Triph because it is theoretically decent into maliss, but I honestly didn't get to summon him once since maliss is super super fake going second. Probably typhon or lub would be better in that spot.

Caeser by itself soloes maliss but honestly MJ + rindbrumm are also really decent. I won multiple games into maliss by just ending on verte into mj.
