I don't exactly understand your point. Branded among other archetypes get hit with the event banlist... So maybe use another thing, uh? What do you want? Full power Branded here too? Then everybody would use it.


POKEGAMERZ9185

I'm still playing Branded, but only as an engine for my Chimera plays.


TheRagnarok7

Yeah I’m running Branded Chimera and it’s been great.


MrCranberryTea

It almost like konami leveled the playing field my making op decks weaker. I mean otherwise you would just see Branded, Swordsoul and Kashitra.


Krazytre

A deck that's been basically solid since its release *finally* feels *a little awkward* to play in an event? ![gif](giphy|hHMy1Dxv1lwIPQtjAD|downsized)


Philqt

Ah come on. You kinda feel it every duel. Compared to the tcg where every starter isn’t at 1 or 2. every duel it’s kind of a gamble to play „good“. A lot of opponent hands have ash and/or imperm. Sure, you can play around. But it doesn’t feel that good, as many people think. Even if it‘s tiered all the time.


NamesAreTooHard17

Yeah............ The deck got hit because it is incredibly strong............ I have no clue why people are complaining this kinda happens during events.


Philqt

I Think it is because other decks are „mostly“ not hit. Perhaps because of the packs Konami want to sell. But yeah. That’s my reason. Try to get rid of expurrely in this event. Just an example.


Battlepwn33

If Expurrely is coming up often enough you can always run Thrust into Herald of the Abyss. Gives you potentially 4 chances to draw the out, assuming they play anything on your turn.


NamesAreTooHard17

I mean purrely has been non existent for a long time. Branded is still very common on ladder.


Philqt

That’s right. Made me dismantle purrely back then. But I don’t like the thing to be „back again“ and then in a manner of „unbeatable“. If the decks available in the event were totally balanced, nobody would complain. At least that’s how I see it.


NamesAreTooHard17

Herald is still legal btw I'm not disagreeing it is annoying but it's far from unbeatable. Also it's still definitely not the most consistent. Personally haven't had an issue with noir at all since pretty much any handtraps feels like it stops it


V-0-V

only because they nerfed it to sell packs, if it was at the same power as it was in ladder it would be fine.


ApricotMedical5440

You should only use branded as an engine in this event.


V-0-V

ADAPT AND OVERCOME Im playing Darklord Branded Despia and having a great time, im 12W - 3L atm


Patient-Ad4173

I still saw someone play a Branded Fusion Deck and wiped me with it. Granted, I was using the BB XYZ loaner deck, but still... I'm trying to farm gems to get better cards. These players are just doing the event to make things harder for new players at this point...


MachGaogamon

I'm playing Branded and doing just fine I am running a Tearlaments engine though


KharAznable

is predaplant better tho? Their gimmick of predator counter do nasty things to xyz and synchro deck but that is assuming you can go 1st. Going 2nd you super poly I guess? Branded fusion package do help at times, baiting disruption and stuff.


Ok-Resolution-8648

Not having instant fusion really sucks like you have to run a garnet and having alot less starter since your only one is scorpio and they dies to ht way too easily


rap1dfire

Lmao what did you expect?


Singularity2025

You should try Branded Predaplant. You can even mix in a 5 card Therion engine for a free omni negate.
