Notes & Combos

Got to D.Lv MAX with Branded. (Thank you Konami for semi-limiting Branded Fusion).

Few notes about the techs and number of cards I used.

  • Sometimes I felt 2 Mirrorjade is the right number but there were times the 2nd doesn't come up often and there were times where I felt like I wanted another card instead, so I took a risk and used only 1 Mirrorjade. Unless you get hit by Kashtira Unicorn or your 1st one is somehow gone forever (banished facedown), it will usually live thanks to either Quem, Branded Banishment, or Albion.
  • The problem with this deck is honestly dealing with backrow (majorly the Stun Decks), so I am teching Harpie's Feather Duster just in case.
  • Light and Darkness Dragonlord saved me so many games because the opponent didn't have a way to deal with it since their board breakers kept getting negated, and it annoys the opponent a lot since it chain blocks a lot of things so it can't honestly chain directly to my effects to negate them somehow.
  • Running 3 Allure of Darkness just to thin the deck better and chances of getting key cards faster if I can't really search them off of other cards. Helps me get to Triple Tactics Talent and Thrust and other non-searchable cards. Just watch out for Droll and Lock Bird however, so if possible try to use your main searches first and don't use Allure of Darkness first unless your hand is really bad.
  • Only running 2x Triple Tactics Thrust and 1x Triple Tactics Talent because I had sometimes because of stupid Masterduel Shuffler, had bricked with them and wasn't able to be activated if opponent used Infinite Impermanence on me. Since I am running Allure of Darkness, it still helps me get to them.
  • Super Polymerization saves you games a lot. Make sure to run 3.
  • Running only 2 Branded Opening. Some people were only running 1, but I felt 2 is the right number. I mean you can still run 3 if you want. I just switched around after I got to Lv.18 D.Lv
  • I know some people don't run handtraps at all but I really recommend running both Maxx "C" and Mulcharmy Fuwalos. Mulcharmy Fuwalos especially can be either discard fodder or coordinate by using Branded in High Spirits to search a Albaz-related monster in times of need so it's not really dead in this deck even if you go first.
