Duelists forget that Branded is MORE THAN JUST A FUSION DECK! It's also a SYNCHRO STRATEGY!
With the Branded Synchro combo, turn the End Phase into your "Main Phase 3" as you combo your way to a complete 7-8 interruption fusion/synchro board! Although the strategy is less consistent with the many banlist hits to the Branded strategy, this deck offers more options and versatility that is sure to keep your foes off balance on ladder! For example, the synchro enabler "Branded Etude" is such a criminally undervalued searchable floodgate in Branded strategies, since it's simultaneously a "macro cosmos" banisher and quick play synchro summon! Synchro boss monsters like Baronne De Fleur and Bystial Dis Pater are all yours to summon with Branded Synchro!
Depending on the starting hand and situation boards may vary. This deck can play the regular "fusion" combo routes as well. Here is Branded's "synchro" combo:
ULTIMATE BRANDED COMBO aka the famous "Main Phase 3" --------- Aluber + Bystial Magnamhut + Any Card:
= Mirrorjade (Banish), Quem (Reborn Mirrorjade for another Banish), Cartesia (Fusion summon Granguignol + Mirrorjade into Dragostapelia's monster negate), Granguignol (Summon Luluwalilith for negate), Branded Etude (Bystial + Cartesia = Baronne) (Banish Floodgate), Mercourier (Monster Negate).
- Normal summon Aluber. Search Branded Fusion.
- Activate Branded Fusion to summon Rindbrumm, sending Albaz + Mercourier.
- Activate Magnamhut targeting Mercourier in the GY, banishing it.
- CL1 Mercourier (searching Cartesia) and CL2 Magnumhut to search dragon in End Phase.
- Activate Cartesia to summon to field since Albaz is in GY. Activate Cartesia to fusion summon Granguignol using herself + Aluber.
- Granguignol effect sends from Extra Deck Sprind to the GY.
- Proceed to End Phase (Now the REAL combo begins!). Retrieve Cartesia from GY. Magnamhut searches for Saronir.
- Sprind summons from deck Springans Kitt. Kitt searches for Branded in High Spirits from deck and places any card in hand to bottom of deck.
- Activate Branded in High Spirits revealing and discarding Saronir in hand and sending Titaniklad from Extra Deck to GY. High Spirits then adds Mercourier to hand. In a new chain, the discarded Saronir sends Branded Retribution to GY.
- Titaniklad summons from deck Quem. Quem sends to GY Branded in Red.
- Activate Branded Retribution in GY to retrieve Branded in Red from GY to hand.
- Activate Branded in Red targeting Albaz in GY. Fusion summon Lubellion using Albaz + Kitt.
- CL1 Lubellion to fusion summon Mirrorjade shuffling itself + Albaz back into the decks by discarding Cartesia, CL2 Quem to summon Cartesia from GY.
- Activate Mirrorjade's effect to send to GY Albion. In a new chain, activate Rindbrumm's effect to negate Mirrorjade's effect (so you can still use its banish effect next turn) then you can bounce Magnamhut back to hand so you can re-use it next turn.
- Albion sets Branded Etude from deck.
