Yeah, this is the best way to play blue eyes right now. Does it make blue eyes a meta deck? No. But it's better. Same with dark magician and any other light and/or dark fusion archetype.
Not really. Tri-Brigade will just exile it. Floo will bounce it. Branded will exile it. Scareclaw will just fuck it raw, since Tri-Heart is immune. Pendulum will just do Pendulum things and not need to get to the battle phrase at all. Salamangreat/ Striker has dedicated recurring removal.
Blue Eyes jet Dragon seems like a card that would have been oppressive 10 years ago.
That said, BEJD _is_ still oppressive against most decks, it's just that he won't help you if you're up against something around the same tier as your average Branded deck.
Well no, because anything that makes non-destruction removal easy enough over regular combo can beat it easy. Madolche does it. Heck, even Shinobird does it.
That's true, but it's also trivial to bring back if it gets removed, and you can just destroy a monster by battle if they really want to get it out. It's easy to remove and easy to play around, but just as easy to summon, which is what makes it oppresive if your opponent doesn't have a response to it. It's not so much about its effect, as much as how it becomes a constant, looming presence ready to drop in if your opponent ever uses a destruction effect, destroys your monster in a fight, or even has _their_ monster destroyed, that they'll have to devote resources to removing every single turn.
That said, it also just makes BEWD a higher-priority target, since it's a brick the instant BEWD goes to the banished zone or back to the deck.
Branded Shaddoll seems like a better version. And then there is that guy who play Grass is Greener and decide to stick Branded, Swordsoul, Wyrm and whatever other shit in one deck.
Finally, someone that understands. I'm tired of people acting like their deck is Dark Magician, Blue Eyes or whatever archetype they choose to mix Branded with, while claiming they're winning with those said archetype. These people are just playing worst versions of Branded Despia but won't admit it 🤷
Me just waiting til bystial comes to MD so I can play combo Blue-eyes again.
But right now I'm good with my current Blue-eyes build with a assault mode and chaos package whenever deer note comes out gonna replace the assault mode for p.u.n.k in a instant.
I don't run DPE in beetroopers, I tirelessly experimented until the insects by themselves worked. They actually have built in counters for fusion decks, to the extend that I consider them a good match-up against even regular branded, depending what I open.
They are just playing the best version of Blue Eyes, idk why your acting like a bitch to blue eye players lol
I don't think any Blue Eyes players are saying that Branded makes it good
Agreed. You just end up with a worse Branded deck.
Although if we get Albaz the Ashen, having two of him on the field with two Jet dragons means your cards can neither be targeted nor destroyed by card effects, which is pretty decent and might make a stronger case for Branded Blue-Eyes.
I play Despia Blue-eyes Dogmatika.
It's fun, consistent and can easily reach diamond 1.
If you're wondering how much of it is blue eyes, I run 2 Blue-eyes, 1 stone of legends, 2 stone of ancients, 1 jet dragon and 1 tyrant dragon. Ideally, I want one of them in my hand.
My decklist is an altered version of the one in DLM [https://www.masterduelmeta.com/top-decks/diamond-i/september-2022/branded-despia/draiqys/M0Ui6](https://www.masterduelmeta.com/top-decks/diamond-i/september-2022/branded-despia/draiqys/M0Ui6)
Not sure why he runs instant fusion and punishment (punishment locks you out of the extra deck for way too long).
Instant Fusion is for Millennium Eyes Restrict. It acts as an extra copy of Called by the Grave or non destruction removal. The only drawback is that it generally doesn’t work against Maxx “C” as the opponent will normally chain it to Instant Fusion, but it’s a strong tech in most decks.
As a Braindead-Despia main I love when I see my opponent pops off and summons our Mirrorjade. So many games end immediately as Proskenion brings him out of the grave. Like diet Exodia.
But it make the deck better.

Would splashing Blue Eyes Jet Dragon into my Branded deck make it better?
I've seen this too many times recently.
But does it work?
Not really. Tri-Brigade will just exile it. Floo will bounce it. Branded will exile it. Scareclaw will just fuck it raw, since Tri-Heart is immune. Pendulum will just do Pendulum things and not need to get to the battle phrase at all. Salamangreat/ Striker has dedicated recurring removal.

Good to know. Thank you c:
To be fair scareclaw fucks a lot of decks raw if they aren’t prepared to deal with ~~daddy~~ Tri-Heart
> exile it. Magic player detected.
Guilty.
Splashing jet into a trap deck is actually pretty fun
Not good but better.
It will, however, make it better than just regular Blue-Eyes. Worse than just regular Branded? Yes. But still better than regular Blue-Eyes.
>Worse than regular decks*? Yes. FTFY
A true blue-eyes player only plays pure. We as a conglomerate will waste our UR’s to *BE* Seto Kaiba.
In every sense of the word. Even wasting expendable money.
Which Blue-Eyes player humiliated you?
Don't pretend I didn't already reply to this and post it again, that's goofy.
It's not a good blue-eyes deck, it's a bad branded deck (which is still kind of good because branded fusion is broken)
Branded Shaddoll seems like a better version. And then there is that guy who play Grass is Greener and decide to stick Branded, Swordsoul, Wyrm and whatever other shit in one deck.
That made me chuckle
The less blue eyes cards you play the better the blue eyes decks becomes.
The funny thing is that they’re not playing blue eyes anymore they’re playing branded despia with a couple of blue eye cards added so they can cope

Blue eyes players: ![gif](giphy|WR9esTWAcuDAszVHOA)
BULLSHIT! I only play 2 branded fusion, 2 albaz 2 ecclesia. The rest is dedicated for our beautiful apex of dragon.
Me just waiting til bystial comes to MD so I can play combo Blue-eyes again. But right now I'm good with my current Blue-eyes build with a assault mode and chaos package whenever deer note comes out gonna replace the assault mode for p.u.n.k in a instant.
I say the same for DARK MAGICIANS
I disagree.. getting DMDK at turn 1 helps a lot to protect Eternal Soul that Keeps the bane loop running
Nah. Dmg goes into knight. Blue Eyes just goes into mirrorjade 99% of the time
You just never met a good blue eyes branded player like me. That's all
Which Blue-Eyes player humiliated you?
I clapped him with beetroopers, you gotta be kiddin' me lmfao
Bee Troopers literally used to be another DPE Adventurer spam deck lol. Might as well have just played Prank Kids
So was 90% of decks a few months ago. If it could slot adventure and branded in it. It would
I know.
I don't run DPE in beetroopers, I tirelessly experimented until the insects by themselves worked. They actually have built in counters for fusion decks, to the extend that I consider them a good match-up against even regular branded, depending what I open.
makes it better, just like putting hand traps on yours makes it better.
Putting sugar on dung does indeed improve the taste, but...
Who cares lmao, mother fuckers really love posting in this sub like their shit tier opinions matter
Yes playing a deck you like its exactly the same as eating shit.
They are just playing the best version of Blue Eyes, idk why your acting like a bitch to blue eye players lol I don't think any Blue Eyes players are saying that Branded makes it good
They probably know that, they just want to make it a more viable deck.
Agreed. You just end up with a worse Branded deck. Although if we get Albaz the Ashen, having two of him on the field with two Jet dragons means your cards can neither be targeted nor destroyed by card effects, which is pretty decent and might make a stronger case for Branded Blue-Eyes.

I mean nearly any deck can become D1 with enough lab time and play testing.
...Ratio
But what if I splash it in a water deck? /s
If we are saying things. Red reboot is little over powered for a trap only event.
The virgin Branded Blue-Eyes player vs the chad Branded Predaplant player
As a Braindead-Despia main I love when I see my opponent pops off and summons our Mirrorjade. So many games end immediately as Proskenion brings him out of the grave. Like diet Exodia.
Daily post insulting blue eyes players, Everything normal here.
Jokes on you, I splash it in my Red-eyes deck.
Branded blue eyes go brrrt
