A kinda Budget build for Branded Despia
I have Quem, but if you don't have it's not essential to play. If you have Cartesia you definitely want to switch Ecclesia for her.
We play Winda, cause it's really easy to do with Lubellion and the only Shaddoll target that's in the deck isn't useless cause you can have a draw by discarding it (Branded Opening, Lubellion's cost, Branded Fusion...).
The main line of play to use in a good way Winda is to have Branded Fusion and Branded In Red. We send from deck Albaz and Shaddoll Beast and we summon Lubellion with this. Discard for Lubellion's cost (chain 1). Then you chain Branded In Red (chain 2) taking Albaz from GY and you have to make Mirrorjade by using Albaz from hand and Lubellion from Field. And then Lubellion is going to shuffle itself and Beast into the deck to make Winda. With this we will end with Mirrorjade and Winda (Notes: that's not the main line of play for the deck, but surely it's a good one. Other thing, this combo is possible to do even under Shifter)
The Shaddoll name it's for sure a brick if drawn in first hand or by top deck, but we have plenty of ways to use it as a cost for cards to use his effect to draw or as a fusion material, considering that Winda only requests a Dark Monster other than the Shaddoll one, and our deck is mostly composed by Dark Monsters
But maybe there's another question: why Ecclesia tho? I chose to play Ecclesia cause she can cheat out Albaz from deck during the opponent's turn, and you'll able to do his effect by stealing a opponent's monster.
The best way we want to use Ecclesia it's by using Branded Opening in the opponent's Standby Phase, and summon Quem with that. With Quem you can send Ecclesia from deck to GY, and with her second effect you'll summon Ecclesia too, that will send herself to GY and Special Summon Albaz (that's more easy if you actually try that instead of reading the explanation lol)
(Note: this combo isn't possible to do under Shifter)
Edge Imp Engine: I personally love to play it for the fact that is a way to play after an Ash on BraFu and let you plus
Allure Of Darkness: we like to have a good amount of cards in hand to do our stuff, and the synergy with Mercurier and Tragedy it's fantastic
Other spice, the Borreload fusion (I refuse to write the whole name). It's a good target for Albaz's effect, Branded in Red or Lubellion. And he pops an opponent card. Remember you can dodge the destruction of out Fusions by Branded Opening effect in the GY
Side is pretty standard, I thought about playing Dimension Shifter,but I have to find some space. Maybe you can cut the Dark Ruler No More, but we have to see how the meta will go. You can even play Enemy Controller or Forbidden Chalice in the side deck, is all about what you like to play and how the format goes. Advice a second copy of Masquerade for winning at the time. But I repeat, that's a personal choice
We don't play the new Albion that locks with the Gimmick Puppet for two reasons: Albion it's a pricey card (even Quem is pricey, but you can take her out from the deck. Instead Albion is the only way to do the lock) and I really don't like the lock, and Winda it's a good way to lock too
Last thing I swear: if you have Cartesia play her, but I'm broke. Same discourse with Super Polymerization (you can play three Spoly by cutting Ash and another card)
Much love, hope I explained in a decent way. Ask if you need, I'll try to answer
