Notes & Combos

Please stop making Branded support

Also, please stop turning Springans support into Branded support

It honestly ****** me the **** off how much of a favourite child Branded is, to the point where Springans support is actively being sabotaged to give them more free toys. Why doesn't TBSkitt give us another much needed search, or even just had the shared the Xyz attach effect of our machine names. Yet the card is still such a degree better than our old names that it warrants running three copies!!!

Yeah, Konami can **** right off. I assure you that I hate how I have to add anything that resembles their beloved yearly "warranted" support deck and I know someone will mention how my deck isn't "Springans" enough and that it's "just Branded with a few Springans cards".

At least the favouritism can somewhat be used to your advantage in a very key way. On normal summoning the new Albaz, a lot of people will pass priority back to you on two level fours and allow you to freely make Exciton. So much so such that it has genuinely won me a ton of games going second. High Spirits also works as excellent Ash/Purge bait to ensure your actual important searches resolve.

50 cards feels like the sweet spot. Less duplicates, less of your soft garnets, more chances to draw Golgonda compared to 60.

I also know that the second Sprind seems questionable, but trust me in that it comes up more than Mirrorjade does. Extra deck space is tight and you'll often want to send one off Branded in High Spirits and fuse for the second if you can't make Dogma in the matchup. Giving decks access to the extra deck often gives them a little too much agency.

No combo guide because honestly, lines are a lot more free-form than you'd expect. If you need something to aim for, try to end on some combination of the following cards: Xyz Sargas, Utopic Future Zexal, a Springans XYZ (to turn Interluder online), King Regulus, the Ecclesia synchro, and either Maindeck Sargas or a set TFATV. Feel free to ask for help.

Maybe next wave we'll get a new Springans Pedor (since the old one still sucks, unfortunately) that is a double circular and banishes your opponent's entire graveyard face down if they have Fallen of Albaz in the deck. Copium
