Hello everyone this is Lohamora again, with my 2nd, Top 6 decks post photon hypernova, before going to the deck list, make sure to check my first Top 6 deck, which was Witchcrafters ( still feels great to see Witchcrafters consistent ), and now let's get started
here are some explanations and notes
Main deck
Bystial Lubellion: well the best targets to search with him would be Bystial Magnamhut but if you had any other Bystials in your hand, you better search Bystial Saronir which helps your combos such as sending Branded Retribution to add any branded spell/trap from your GY to your hand or Branded Regained which can be placed on spell/trap zone by the effect of Branded Beast during the end phase, one last thing I can note here is Placing spell/traps to your spell/trap zones does not means Activating them, so even Anti-spell Fragrance can't stop it.
Fusion Deployment: I call this card life saver, cuz it's so crazy, especially in this deck, you can reveal Grand-Guignol from your extra deck to special summon Blazing Cartesia directly from your deck which helps to play around Imperm or effect veiler whenever you ns or ss Aluber to search for any branded spell/traps, you can also make Grand-guignol with Cartesia and Aluber, I'll take this any of the days.
The allure of Darkness + Despian Tragedy: this deck doesn't have that much draw power, so adding allure with tragedy, won't even make this neg 1, that's why I like this card, it also gives you 4 free spots to use your side deck cards, instead of them.
Branded expulsion: I would say the most broken card post photon hypernova, you see summoning your banished Fallen of Albaz during your opponent's turn in their sensitive combo moments is pretty devilish, ah you also don't need to be worried about the discard effect, cuz you get to recycle Blazing Cartesia during the End phase of your turn, as for more information check out the combo lines.
Tri-brigade Mercourier: I don't know how many of you know this, but Mercourier can use its effect even if it's on the field so another good target to special summon it back with branded expulsion
Super polymerization: the best board breaker in the game, Graura, and Mudragon are indeed the best targets for this card, Mudragon is great against Kashtira.
Extra deck
Rindburmm the Striking dragon: one of the craziest fusion monsters, which can negate any fusion/synchro/XYZ/link monsters effect then you can return one monster on the field to your hand, this can also negate your own Extra monsters effects, which helps a lot, let's say, you used your own mirrorjade then send a fusion monster that lists Fallen of Albaz as its materials as a cost, to banish one monster on the field, you can use Rindburmm to negate your own mirror jade, and there you go you still have an unused Mirrorjade effect, and a Search effect during the end phase, if you send Albion the branded dragon, but wait this card does more than that, Let's say, your opponent used Dark ruler no more after the effect resolves you can tribute your Rindburmm with Branded expulsion to ss your banished Fallen of Albaz, then use Albaz to fusion summon by using your opponent's monster, after that you can Rindburmm effect in the GY, to banish the Fallen of Albaz you just used for fusion summoning, to revive back the Rindburmm, and there you go, Dark ruler no more didn't do anything special, now how to make this card, well with branded fusion, just send Tri-brigade mercourier with Fallen of Albaz, then Banish your Tri-brigade mercourier with the Effect of any Bystial monsters, to search for any monster card that lists Fallen of Albaz, which in this case it's Blazing Cartesia but if you had any other ways to ss her like with the effect of Fusion deployment, you can add Albion the Shrouded dragon, use it to send Branded regained to place it on the field with the effect of Branded Beast or to send Branded retirbution or Branded in white, which combo you prefer to be honest.
Grand-Guignol the Dusk Dragon: again another crazy fusion monster, which can be made with Blazing Cartesia and any light or dark monsters, this card is like a combo completer, well there are 2 main combos with this card, the first one is to send Albion the branded dragon to set branded expulsion from your deck, and your end board will be: Rindburmm + Grand-Guignol + Bystial lubellion + branded regained + branded beast + branded expulsion, which by far it's maximum 5 interruptions, and the second one is sending both Branded retribution and branded in white to the GY, by the help of Bystial Saronir and Albion the shrouded dragon and in this case grand-guignol can send any of your missing peace, let's say you send Branded retribution to the GY with Bystial Saronir effect, in this case you will Send Albion the shrouded dragon to the GY, with grand-guidnol effect, then use Albion the shrouded dragon, to send Branded in white, then use Retribution to add branded in white from your GY, then your end board is going to be: Rindburmm + Grand-guignol + branded beast + Bystial lubellion + Mirrorjade + Branded in Red, which is by far 7 interruptions, but the second combo can't happen all the time, just like first combo, but when it happens, your dear opponent goes R.I.P ( lmao ), but wait there is still more, if a monster is special summoned by the your opponent activated monster effect, you can banish this card from you GY or field to ss a dogmatika monster from your deck or a despian monster from your extra deck, which in post photon hypernova we have 2 targets Despian Quaerities or Despain Proskenion, you decide which one to use, i chose the Quaerities.
Side deck
Book of the eclipse: This card is broken in the decks and can get rid of face-down monsters, before the end phase like Branded Bystial - Exosister - Kashtira - etc..., It is also the best counter for annoying pure Kashtira deck.
Triple tasking and Triple Talents: the best cards for going first after losing game 1, they are surely helpful
Lava golem: I'm not saying we don't normal summon in this deck, but sometimes, we don't even normal summon, again you decide if you want to play lava golem or Kashtira Fenrir, ( Fenrir just has a conflict with Bystial cards sometimes )
HOW TO SIDE IN THIS DECK ??
this is how I do cut all 3 allure of darkness + 1 Despain tragedy + 1 Fusion deployment + 1 super poly + 1 Bystial Magnamhut or Ad libitum of Despia ( depending on the deck you are facing against ) and at some points, you can even cut branded in white and branded retributions if you are good with the first combo line which I explained in Grand-Guidnol section, here you got 9 side deck space.
Thank you, guys, for reading, also this was Branded Bystial deck POST PHOTON HYPERNOVE, this deck will get way better again, once we get new cards in CYBER STORM ACCEL, be honest I didn't expect a happy ending, I'm glad lore didn't end up sad ( Stigmatika forever )
Well see you guys in my next top 6 decks post photon hypernova ( Spoiler it's Thunder water ball deck ) and yes I'm keeping Kashtira deck profile for the last cuz it's the number 1 best deck in banish man format.
