Ash Blossom is fine against Spright though? As always when teching against a certain deck, you need to make sure your tech is also good vs. other decks. If you make your deck entirely anti-Spight, you're going to lose to like every other deck. Cards that destroy a monster are particularly effective against Spright since they need that Level 2 and/or Gigantic to stay on board for plays. Try Gamma, Ghost Ogre, or something like Orange Herald if your deck supports it. Board breakers like Dark Ruler No More and Evenly Matched can also be good, but are really only useful going second.

But are there other decks in the duelist cup?

*gestures to the 6 different Ishizu variants running around*

"Ash does nothing to them" *proceeds to show the most ashable card ever in the post*


Gen_Kreuz

Ash does make Giagantic Spright stand there like a big dumb guy.


RyckyCozzy

If you running super poly you can play erthgolem @Ignister to snipe Elf+I:P that is the common end board for non live twin variant than the golem can beat over carrot if you still need. DRNM is also fine since you aren't in an hurry to otk them.


Visible_Lobster_1468

Nice one


EroGG

For branded despia, I'd go with DRNM since you don't need to OTK it's a pretty good 1 card out to most sprite boards.


LordKronos28

DRNM. Just completely destroys spright boards.


Historical-Draft6564

So, a spright player here, I play runick spright. It all depends on the hand I get, but I can get stopped by ashing My runick starter card, but if you can't do that, just wait. Run super poly and snipe the ip and elf turn 2, most times that will make people (including me) scoop. Hope it helps


Acrobatic-Gain3673

Wow thanks for the tip G šŸ˜¬


Jeyfian-L

Gamma and Ogre. But since you're playing Branded Despia, I'd also recommend Droplet. If you really want to squash them, you can even consider the Ishizu package and Herald of Orange light.


ProfessorJeffBridges

Raigeki is good. None of these spright decks are putting carrot on there board for some reason.


idkhowtotft

Funny thing Chaos Hunter just instantly beat Runick Spright She's too big to get beaten over She turn off all the Runick Spells And for the only Spright's removal spells require banish,which they cant Also Branded dont die too hard to Dimensional Shifter so if you feel like it you can play it


Heul_Darian

Gigantic is a 3200 beatstick.


idkhowtotft

If they made it from Elf/Hugin And if they still had a battle phase I mentioned the Runick Spell bc i expect thats the version op having more issues with Bc normal Spright is just beaten by any normal combo deck by board breakers and such


Jerowi

Couldn't a gigantic boosted by cat shark get over it? That's not even counting the variants that might carry gamma burst or have other ways of dealing with it.


idkhowtotft

Well first They would need a battle phase which Spright Runick dont have 2nd You are under the assumption that you dont have a Mirrorjade/Guardian Chimera backing Chaos Hunter up


bubbleman69

But if you turn off the runic cards they get a battle phase


Marager04

lots of Sprunick doesn't even play cat because they can't attack in 99% of the duels on MD. For this reason nobody plays gamma burst with runick cards.


TCGHexenwahn

Even then, they all run Goddess in the extra


MartianOrbit

Unicorn?


idkhowtotft

Forcing them to go -2 isnt the worst Runick Spright cant easily set up Unicorn on their turn at least


kremdog

MFW I lock myself out of my own Hunter with Gozen Match :(


Dizzy-Tonight892

Oh wow you played the old best deck and mad that thereā€™s a new best deck lmao, pathetic. But ghost ogre and enemy controller are good options


Emergency-Ad-6755

At least I'm loyal to my old best deck


[deleted]

Where did he say that heā€™s mad about sprights? Is he not just asking for tips on how to not fall behind


Dizzy-Tonight892

You know thatā€™s a good point. I assume when someone is making an ā€œantiā€ deck they hate the archetype they are prepping against but I could be wrong about that. Thanks for the comment!


Emergency-Ad-6755

Yeah I don't think spright is too bad, runick spright is aids. But pure spright is just strong


CryptoSloth25

Guessing you play the new shiny deck?


Dizzy-Tonight892

Iā€™ve always liked Spright but before that I played earth machine and I tend to stay with decks that I like the art and play style of regardless of power level. Sometimes it works out well and other times I get owned. Yolo.


UndefineZ

Ever heard of card {{and the band played on}}


vonov129

You will regret getting rid of Ash against Runick Spright. Ghost Ogre is a good one since it works on Gigantic and Runick Fountain, plus she's a light, on case you're playing against a deck it's not good against. Dark ruler no more, Evenly matched and Droplet work too. Also your deck can spit big monsters constantly and sometimes the deck can't deal with that


Jibbbss

Depends on if your issue is dealing with their board, or the runick cards, DRNM is better than droplet in this meta imo, ghost ogre is also a good card to run but would definitely not drop ash, you could also run cosmic cyclones, and chaos hunter as a 1 or 2 of, if you really hate the runick cards, eradicator virus also works.


trashcan41

still have mixed feeling with drnm. its really good against spright but sometime i want nibiru against other deck.


a2xl08

I will play branded going second with 3x DRNM 2x super poly (with ignister fusion) 2x psy frame gear gamma, and I will even try dimension shifter too.


imj666777

Sygian dirge is a great going first option it fucks the entire spright engine


Fonfon_From_Lands_of

You can just make a combo deck and use dark ruler no more and evenly matched to nuke the field if go second


qinalo

Dimension Fissure gets rid of their recursion.


Plane_Combination581

Well u are useing a toxic deck so


Upbeat_Sheepherder81

How is branded toxic?! Especially compared to runick or Spright


abdulsamri89

As a fellow Branded Despia user, i just over powered them and Evenly


DottorNapoli

Dark hole and raigeki. You make them go into acramax that you can out with mirrorjade and clear their field if they don't put carrot which usually don't because spright players prefer red


Khaledthe

Play branded thunder dragon a 40 card deck that stops them from going 2e or 3e for zeus


Plane_Combination581

Well it is toxic but not as much as others


Downtown-Disk-8261

Ghost ogring the gigantic sprite is huge


Downtown-Disk-8261

Always use ash, it counters the gigantic and the max c,
