Notes & Combos

By far my quickest climb yet--ladder is tough on Branded rn but my deck kept giving me nuts hands that could push through. The problem is the Branded engine is capable of as much and often more than others, but it needs 2-4 cards to get there while these other decks can load on non-engine. I think the big change from past metas is that you're worse in low-resource games than the other top decks.

The Albion line is more important than ever as the advantage from Lubellion setting the continuous spells matters against the fire decks, especially recycling fusions with Regained.

Sanctifire's targeting protection is huge.

SE - If you can banish IP with a bystial you're probably fine, but they could always have 2+ nonengine pieces that kill you. Try to make Subversion/Flamberge eff not matter w/ Cartesia/Borreload setups.

R-ACE - Mudragon shuts off their interaction. Don't burn imperm on Turb unless you're certain its resolving, you can beat the backrow and you dont want to get blown out by Emergency.

Horus - Can be tough if you can't get rid of Sarc. Lots of bad players going for Giantrainer lines and walking into imperm but once someone puts out a guide they'll probably stop and also summon Imsety first.
