The Branded Fusion Limited 1...

Was uncalled for, I don't understand the purpose this serves.

I also hate it when people think that a meta deck is automatically easy. Out of the current meta decks Branded is currently one of the least worthy of being called easy. The mental gymnastics you gotta pull to fuse things outside of Branded Fusion and the nearly inevitable plan B combo you have to do when your Fusion get's ash'd isn't the hardest thing in the game but it's far from straight forward. Any deck with Spreadsheets is not an "easy" deck

What do you expect from neanderthals that call players who play Branded as "braindead" or even refer to Branded Fusion as "Braindead Fusion".

They just get mad cause it's one of the BEST fusion decks of all time and they don't like how consistent it is and because of this, they lose to it consistently.

Honestly, Braindead was kind of acceptable back when it was literally just Mirrorjade + BiR every damn time, but now it's definitely not the case. Imagine opening two Maxx C, Cartesia, Albaz, and Mercourier and youre going first. People who know nothing about Branded will say you bricked, I say "Oh ♥♥♥♥, full combo."

It was never acceptable.

Being able to go into Mirrorjade + Double Masquerade was the end board people should had strive for.

Just because the average board was simple, doesn't mean people need to use that language.

Funny I watched a clip with Josh making his own banlist and he actually thought about banning Branded Fusion just to test how more healthy it would be not having to reley on Branded Fusion resolving. Right now Branded it all about having that one card resolve cause people just copy paste the same combo.

Now with Branded Fusion banned you can now have him go into other combos that would make it more diverse then just turbo out Mirrorjade with some Bystials and your tuner.

But he ended up limitiing instead.

I don't believe you, isn't possible to run a branded deck without B.Fusion without being totally crippled, & albaz teched into a deck by itself doesn't count I'm talking running like 15/20 main deck related branded cards to actually to be considered a branded deck.

This is one video where the clickbait backfired. I originally got turned off because he wanted Striker banned on the thumbnail. But because the algo keeps putting it on the frontpage, I clicked anyway, turns out not really.

[Exvalcore]

He literally did it to bait views.

I know, I'm just saying it would've backfired on me had it not been because of the algo putting the video on top for what seemed like the whole day yesterday.

Fusion from the deck is just too good. Every branded player opens with branded fusion. If they didn't they'll make it happen. You can search and recycle the card. What's not to love about a one card starter but the limit does indeed hurt very bad in the grind game. Honestly games will end majority of the time after one branded fusion. Two branded fusions can sometimes happen in a game but three branded fusions in a game is hardly ever seen.
Overall branded fusion is still playable.

[Exvalcore]

If drawing/searching into a certain card to often is what breaks your game then it needs to totally overhauled.

I honestly don't mind semi-limiting cards because that is one less chance for a double/triple hand brick.

But anything limited to 1 just needs to either be outright banned or errata to be slightly weaker or have some kind of draw back, WHICH BRANDED FUSION DOES.

Remove the fusion only from extra deck effects & you can put branded opening & fusion+deployment to 1, otherwise F off Konami.

It was mostly just to test how it would work without that card. After that he gave it a limit on his list.

But now imagine this if it was banned. Then Branded would not just be a deck that reley on that specific card resolving so they can turbo out Mirrorjade cause that card is what you want to turbo out 100% of the time when it resolve.

Branded is just the same copy paste combo with Branded Fusion. Without it you would need to find other ways to play the deck that would allow some of your less used extra deck monsters to get played then just Mirrorjade spam. You could even go for a synchro deck with it as he said or Konami would have to find a new way for it to work without that card cause Branded Fusion as he said win games on its own just by letting it resolve.

So yea i'm fine that its only at 1 now. Mostly becasue of how much gas the deck has now. You are force to KO a Branded player on turn 2 or you will lose to Mirrorjades grave effect and you will be left with nothing while he just summon Mirrorjade back again with a bunch of other cards and KO you instead.

considering the last fusion archetypes/support is fusion still the worst extra deck mechanic? I personally think branded to 1 is a bit exagerated (I think the deck was fine), but I do believe it fusion from deck effects should have a bit more of restrictions (beyond just fusion lock) so I actually wonder if it was limited to 1 because just branded or because it was too used in other decks by this point.

There are many other decks that play Branded Fusion aswell like DM, Blue Eyes, Buster Blader, Predaplant. Yea you name it. Not just something that is Branded only.

Come on, let's not pretend that "you can only summon fusion monsters from the extra deck this turn" is a restriction in the deck that turbos out fusions. I wouldn't mind branded fusion being banned though, they have enough new support since it already released that they really don't need a one-card fusion from the deck that also serves as a free foolish for any potential degeneracy. It is probably the second strongest fusion card in yugioh's history behind super polymerization, it's absolutely worthy of being limited or banned

Turbos out Fusions ?
They don't need "a one-card fusion"?
this was just lmao , i mean have u played Branded before? Go on try the Deck without BF
if branded puts out 2 fusions in the 1st turn (and not the Mirrorjade-Lubellion in DEF + set Branded Banishement) that's only Bcoz they got a good hand if tears get a good hand they'll fusion summon like 4 times plus add Synchros , links , XYZ also add Pemdus aswell , turbo out fusions? , even E.Heros can turbo fusions but Branded?
