Branded Despia is a long-time meta archetype focused on Fusion Summoning powerful Fusion Boss Monsters. With The New pack Climax of the Showdown, the deck has had major upgrades with a wider range of plays, a greater power level, and a myriad of opportunities for skillful play.

With the release of the new pack, my old Branded Despia guide has been effectively replaced by this dramartic shift in playstyle, full of new combos and ratios.

Bystials

The Bystial Lubellion
Bystial Saronir
Bystial Magnamhut
Bystial Druiswurm
Bystial Baldrake

"Bystial" is a Dragon archetype centered on banishing resources and general disruption of the opponent's plays. All Level 6 members of the theme share the same following effect:

target 1 LIGHT or DARK monster in either GY, banish it, and if you do, Special Summon this card from your hand and This is a Quick Effect if your opponent controls a monster.

This effect is the crux of the archetype's ability to disrupt your opponent's plays that rely on particular DARK or LIGHT Attribute monsters remaining in their GY. This deck in particular gets additional value from Bystials due to being able to trigger banish effects and more. These other advantages, if any, are mentioned below:

  • Loading... can send a Branded Spell or Trap to the GY, which when combined with Loading... and Loading... enables you to search any Branded Spell or Trap.

  • Loading... , the most splashable Bystial, limited on release, typically grabs a new Bystial for you during the End Phase.

  • Loading... , also limited on release, gives you deck maindeck removal on a powerful body.

  • Loading... , this monster can do heavy disruption on field if your opponent is committed into Special Summoning Extra Deck or Ritual monster by banishing it if you have another DARK or LIGHT monster on the field to tribute.

But the most important piece from Bystial for Branded is Loading...

The Bystial Lubellion

Besides searching for another Bystial, Lubellion is part of New Branded Fusion combo line into Loading... , which you can extend into more Fusion and tribute Albion from the field to Special Summon this card. this card also has field effect to place one Continuous Branded Spell and Trap like Loading... , Loading... , or Loading... , which the last two are the new cards as part of Bystial control engine you can add to the deck.

Branded Beast
Branded Regained
  • Loading... a very good Trap to setup an extra destruction for board control with tribute one dragon if you control Bystial on your field. very reliable to out some floodgate. this card can also recover your continuous Branded Spell and Trap on your GY by placing it on your field at the End Phase.
  • Loading... is a good card for resource control, it gives you a single draw while you recover your banished monster. very good card to combine with staples like Loading... or Loading... . this card also can reborn your Bystial on your opponents turn if they Summon a monster.

Granguignol the Dusk Dragon

Loading... is Cartesia's Fusion monster which enables combos you never had before.
