In this part of the video, the creator discusses a branded build involving the card “Branded High Spirits” and its key interactions within the deck. The creator promises to show a deck list later but focuses first on demonstrating how “Branded High Spirits” can enable full board control without being susceptible to “Ash Blossom.” The main strategy involves having access to “Fallen of Albaz” and “Branded High Spirits.” By normal summoning “Alibur,” using its effect to add “Branded High Spirits,” and understanding opponent responses like “Ash Blossom” or “Maxx ‘C’,” players can effectively navigate common choke points in branded plays. The video includes a step-by-step combo where “Branded High Spirits” is used to send Albion to the graveyard and add Sprind’s Kit to the hand, leveraging the fusion monster summoned through Albion. The point is to play around specific opponent interventions while achieving the desired board setup.

In this part of the video, the presenter explains a strategic move in a card game involving special summoning and utilizing various effects to outplay the opponent. The process starts with special summoning “Kit” and adding “Branded in Red.” The presenter then describes summoning “Verte Anaconda” and activating its effect by copying “Branded Fusion’s” effect, which cannot be countered by “Ash Blossom.” The strategy involves chaining “Branded in Red” to target “Albaz” in the graveyard, leading to the summoning of “Mirrorjade” using “Fallen of Albaz” and “Verte Anaconda.” Subsequently, they send “Mercurial” and “Fallen Valdez” to make “Lubellion,” toggle to the end phase to bait out cards like “Nibiru” and “Veiler,” and activate “Mirrorjade,” sending “Rebranded to Glory Dragon.” This sequence ensures that if the opponent was holding “Ash” for “Branded Fusion,” it becomes irrelevant as two fusion monsters, “Mirrorjade” and “Lubellion,” are already in play. The tactic concludes with leveraging “Branded High Spirits” to make “Branded Retribution” live, enhancing the defense strategy.
