If one Chronicle anime series was so good, why not combine both Branded and Charmer storylines for twice the power! It is possible with the new Branded and Charmer support and it is certainly playable and (dare I say) competitive vs. meta GENESYS decks!
Did you know that Spellbook of the Grand Circle is full Branded combo? With that one card, it can search Cartesia, summon Ecclesia of the Dark Dragon, summon Quem, and as a bonus draw 1! Spellbook of the Grand Circle also is an incredibly powerful removal spell, allowing you to spell speed 4 non-targeting removal since it summons Charmers of the Grand Circle! You can bounce your opponent's entire field back to their hand, leaving their lifepoints at your mercy as you swarm the field with Albaz and friends!
In it's pure variant, both strategies suffer from severe consistency issues, but they both add starters to each other! While Fallen of the White Dragon is the crux of the deck with only 9 ways to search it, Spellbook of the Grand Circle effectively gives you 9 more starters! This gives this 50 card deck 20 starters, meaning that you'd almost never brick! Are you worried about the decks ridiculous garnet count of 13 cards? Spellbook of the Grand Circle can shuffle back 2 cards into the deck to fix your hand!
Here is the combo with Spellbook of the Grand Circle + Aluber:
Activate Spellbook of the Grand Circle to add 4 Charmers including Lyna from the maindeck and place two non-charmer cards back into the deck.
- Activate Spellbook of the Grand Circle's GY effect to fusion summon using the 4 charmer monsters in your hand.
- Resolve Charmers of the Grand Circle's effect to summon spellcasters from the GY 4 times, summoning all 4 Charmers from GY.
- Summon Familliar-Possessed Lyna from deck, sending Charmers of the Grand Circle and Lyna the Light Charmer to the GY.
- Familliar-Possessed Lyna searches for Cartesia from the deck on summon.
- XYZ summon XYZ Armor Torpedo using 2 level 3 charmers.
- Activate XYZ Armor Torpedo's effect to draw 1 card.
- Send Armor Torpedo + the last level 3 charmer to the GY to summon Magistus Chorozo.
- Synchro summon Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon using Chorozo + Familliar-Possessed Lyna.
- Activate Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon's effect to banish herself to summon Fallen of the White Dragon from deck.
- Activate Fallen of the White Dragon's effect to summon Incredible Ecclesia from deck.
- Tribute Incredible Ecclesia to summon the Golden Swordsoul from deck.
- Special Summon Cartesia from hand since you control a "Fallen of Albaz" on the field.
- Activate Cartesia's effect to fusion summon Granguignol using The Golden Swordsoul and Cartesia.
- Activate Granguignol's effect to send Skull Archfiend of Chaos from deck to GY.
- Skull Archfiend of Chaos' effect sends Ritual of Light and Darkness to the GY to search for Magician of Dark Chaos.
- Activate Ritual of Light and Darkness' effect to recover both it and Skull Archfiend of Chaos from the GY.
- Normal summon Aluber. Aluber searches for Branded in White on-summon.
- Activate Branded in White to fusion summon Mirrorjade using Granguignol + Fallen of the White Dragon.
- Acivate Ritual of Light and Darkness to ritual summon Magician of Dark Chaos by tributing Aluber on the field and Fallen of the White Dragon in the GY.
- Magician of Dark Chaos retrieves a spell from the GY on-summon.
- Activate Mirrorjade's effect to banish Magician of Dark Chaos by sending Titaniklad from Extra Deck.
- Activate the effect of The Golden Swordsoul in the GY to summon Cartesia from the GY.
- During the Endphase, Titaniklad summons Quem from deck. Quem sends to GY Branded Sword on-summon.
- Banish Branded Sword to retrieve either The Golden Swordsoul (battle fader) or Fallen of the White Dragon (follow-up) from Banishment.
- During the Endphase, return Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon from Banishment. Retrieve Incredible Ecclesia from the GY.
- During your opponent's turn, fusion summon Mixousia using Mirrorjade + Cartesia. Quem summons Mirrorjade from the GY so it can banish once again. Mixousia can fusion summon Quintet Magician using itself + 4 Charmers in the GY to wipe your opponent's board.
This board ends on x1 Mirrorjade banishes (Mirrorjade can be re-summoned from the GY with Quem when its fused away by Cartesia), Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon's tag out to Albaz (fuse your opponent's board away) and Granguignol's summon of Quaertis (makes opponent's monsters 0 ATK and floats into Albaz/Despia) and Mixousia (Quintet Magician's boardwipe). With additional combo pieces (like Branded Opening or Branded in High Spirits) the board can end on so much more - like a set Branded Retribution (summon negate), Mercourier in-hand, and etc. For next turn, the follow-up is insane, with Skull Archfiend of Chaos recycling everything, Magician of Dark Chaos' targeted banish, and Charmer's fieldwipe by returning everything to the hand! You're basically guaranteed to OTK!
When the strategy's Branded resource loop gets started, it can easily overwhelm opponents with the immense amount of interruption, advantage and resources it gets back every turn! With the help of Charmer allies has the distinct advantage of enjoying the full power of Albaz and friends!
