Notes & Combos
Branded Season 34
Not too different from last season, just minor changes to non-engine. I cut Druis b/c I found him actually quite mediocre into a lot of my common match-ups (mostly saw Kashtira, Voiceless, Yubel, Centur-Ion, Floo and did not see a lot of Tear) and opted for a copy of Duster as a Thrust target as backrow hate is pretty effective especially due to Branded's natural weakness to non-monster interactions. I climbed with maybe a 30% coin-toss win-rate; the deck is still quite strong going 2nd. Also Keeper is terrible and I hate being forced to play it, and will definitely cut a copy for the 2nd Gold Sarc come Tenpai/banlist.
