How do you beat Tenpai?

[Exvalcore]

If you don't run negates/protection? Going First I setup, they clean the field with back row/monster removal, summon one lv4 atk & win, it's really annoying.

Or rather how do you survive 1 turn? besides getting super lucky.

[Rameol]

Tenpai is so overrated. First off, Lab claps Tenpai so hard, and if you are having issues going first, just add some cards that stops your opponent from attacking completely or cards that just make it impossible to get K.O.-ed in one turn, like Kuriphoton, Threatening Roar, Waboku, One Day of Peace...

[Meneluma]

I've been doing Stygian Dirge and Level Limit Area B to try and get an extra turn in.
One of those cards active while they're staring down a big enough link/xyz monster tends to make them panic and synchro into black rose and try to reset.

Playing Live Twin another way to shut them down I found was IP into trouble Sunny and Honest one of the smaller dragons and then they have no out to something near 5k that has destruction protection.

Doing a battle trick before that big one that disables battle activations shows up would be your best bet really.

Laughs in Dimension Barrier. Flip it and watch them scoop.

Hold a Ghost Ogre or other quick-removal for either Sangan Summoning (their field spell) or Chundra's battle phase effect. Imperm also works in the latter case. Stop them from going into their Synchros.

And yes, there's a whole mess of cards that shut down the Trident OTK by stopping the battle phase. Battle Fader's probably the most accessible and reliable one.

Never saw it used once all the way to DL20.

Okay this is my deck list, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqIQ0dQABgE&t=10s

How do I make it more degenerate than Tenpai? Or just a bad time to be Branded.
Any lengthy 1 card combo starters that I can add that don't need extra deck help.
Or should I just hope for the mercy of Konami to bump extra from 15 to 20 or 30.

Only have 14~15 main deck slots left to fill.

You'd think a anti-dragon deck would be good against a Dragon Deck, nope.

Another low effort shameless plug

Secret Village of the Spellcasters. They can't use most of their board breakers or use their starters. Sleeper pops their monsters as soon as they put 2 on field.

No that's literally my deck profile, it's easier to link that then post a pic.

That WORKS! This & Meta Verse

[Terminal Desolation]

This is indeed a bad format for Branded, but if you're on Albion just play one of the dumb floodgate guys. I think D/D/D Vice Requiem or something like that is the floodgate du jour? Tenpai has no outs to that.

[Exvalcore]

The issue is stuff like raigeki & duster, lightning/storm, anti spell is a good add.

Anti-Spell Fragrances too, these are good enough.

[Compsognathus]

Tenpai scoops to TCBOO. It's a little bit funny to watch.

[e-dood]

Watching Tenpai players scoop after their monsters get flipped face down is always funny.
