Notes & Combos

There's a lot of bad advice about this deck online so play this and win.

Branded is great right now. You can play through Snakes Eyes t1 setup with minimal non-engine. Starting m1 with NS Albaz is devastating to the IP board (Fuse with either IP or whatever they make with it -> MJade send Titaniklad banish Flamberge -> disruption gone, they have minimal follow up, your engine is online)

3x Cartesia is a no-brainer as she lets you play more often, especially with 3x Shrouded post-opening ban. SE players overrely on Subversion target MJade and if you can get yourself to Cart, Quem, Mjade you just hold off on Cart and leave her on board. They activate Subversion, make GGG/Predaplant and Quem revives MJade.

Lulu is so much better than Quaeritis as a disruption piece.

Borreload Furious is necessary to out problematic S/T's and the ability to make it by recycling 2 fusions is very relevant when you're grinding with SE or decks supplementing with Kash Birth. It also synergizes w/ Quem and Mirrorjade, letting you banish and chain Furious to pop it, triggering Quem to do it again. This is a very common pattern when you get Nib'd after a big BiW line.

The card I missed the most was the 3rd BiHS, especially when you run so many targets.

Bystials are very good rn.

Maximus is a bad card that can feel nuts. Defensible in 60 but not worth in imperm/veiler meta. Just get Quem she's broken.

You can play Brightest Blazing Branded King if you really hate losing to floodgates but that's why you're playing it and not because its better than imperm/veiler or Talents. Just because you can search for a card doesn't mean you should.
