Notes & Combos

i played branded every duel but I tweaked the deck a lot before finding this build to be the best. I was running 3 more handtraps in spark, veiler and ghost ogre instead of an opening, a 3rd nadir and a shrouded but it felt too bricky and I still usually didn't open enough handtraps to stop my opponent anyway so I made the deck more engine heavy.

• 3 nadir is amazing even though it's bad going second, so many times I get my walbaz, aluber or branded fusion stopped and I have a nadir in hand which completely saves me. Just so good to have three for consistency too.

• Quaretis felt the best out of the three granguinol targets because it really helps you live and makes the game grindier which is perfect.

• ED space is very tight and I'd love to fit in a khaos dragon but secreterion is insane this format and I hate cutting lenatus because I want the dopamine fix of completely breaking a bored because of him. a superpoly target also feels necessary and I probably wouldn't cut muddragon.

1000 more years of branded inshallah
