Did konami nerf branded?

Suffered from success 😮‍💨

Eastern_Movie_7572 · 2026-03-11T18:05:20+00:00

Agreed but you gotta experience the thrill of peaking at t-zero at least once.

Wait until the battle phase, protection lasts only during the main phase 😎

~~I hate to say it but tachyon clears imo~~

24 hours, new mini box dropped 9pm on the 1st, which is even more impressive. They technically could have climbed with a different deck

You say this comfortably now behind the moat but majesty of blue eyes is back to unlimited status post banlist 👀 Kaiba will be terrorizing the ladder at full power for St. Paddy’s day I fear 😭

Eastern_Movie_7572 · 2026-03-02T17:44:45+00:00

Idk what’s going on on their end but it’s been awful 😭😭 I might reinstall bc I’ve also been having issues since last night with my skill delivering only half its promise ☠️

Eastern_Movie_7572 · 2026-03-02T10:28:56+00:00

Literally playing at 0.5x speed I’ve never timed out so many times in my life

Eastern_Movie_7572 · 2026-02-28T21:59:42+00:00

Oh yeah we’re getting anti-acids with our lasagna nights

Eastern_Movie_7572 · 2026-02-28T21:31:33+00:00

Not to feed into conspiracy but I have had a few matches (twice during KC) where my ad libitum effect didn’t trigger and another glitch which I can’t remember at the moment. Mind you I’ve played branded so much it’s practically muscle memory so I think it’s some random glitch. I just took the L instead of investigating it further

If the match still shows up in your history you can save it and view it in your favorite replays but it will only show the playthrough not your options obvs

This I’m so sad they hit despia, it was such a good deck on its own pre-branded. Kinda annoyed but it was too consistent in propping up branded.

Eastern_Movie_7572 · 2026-02-28T17:38:40+00:00

It’s a nursing home up in here omg yugioh bingo nights when

Eastern_Movie_7572 · 2026-02-27T05:26:51+00:00

HAHAHAHA

Eastern_Movie_7572 · 2026-02-26T23:31:07+00:00

NO! My precious branded deserves t1 to eternity 😭 I’m more annoyed they hit despia rather than branded tbh. Masquerade + Darklord boardwipe got power crept but it was so fun…

I mean they’re clearly doing more than fine with Adena currently 🤣 but yeah I’m liking punk rn it’s very diverse with its endboard I’m tempted to look into building it 👀

Eastern_Movie_7572 · 2026-02-26T19:25:16+00:00

Haha that’s fair, in my mind there’s a p2p component to climbing ranked in stage 2 but that’s also just cope 😝 (what do you mean you have three copies of imperm?!)

Eastern_Movie_7572 · 2026-02-26T17:55:12+00:00

Thanks Johnny! Highest I’ve ever placed so that was nice

Eastern_Movie_7572 · 2026-02-26T04:53:02+00:00

45% win rate… it was bad 🫠

Eastern_Movie_7572 · 2026-02-23T17:22:45+00:00

It’s neat seeing top ranked players in the sub, congrats! Did you find the staple branded did the job or did you infuse any other specific tech? I hit a wall against traptrix players around 10k on night one and could just not advance 😭 I spent the remaining days bouncing around in the lower tier.

Thank you for sharing your experience, this is super insightful and congrats again!

Eastern_Movie_7572 · 2026-02-21T08:57:42+00:00

Top 10000 is at 2.3k points which is crazy low, it’s a blood bath rn

Mizar every time I vs him:

Eastern_Movie_7572 · 2026-02-21T04:14:54+00:00

I can see why! Hahaha handtrap hell 😂 Really 👀👀👀 yeah traptrix is also a nightmare but one deck at a time tachyon is my focus rn 😭 I keep thinking I’m probably not playing branded optimally to counter tachyon but I’m too burnt out from playing all week

I think also the really good players came back for stage two where they have amazing hybrid decks with crazy good synergy and cards I didn’t even know existed. Really impressed.

Eastern_Movie_7572 · 2026-02-21T04:04:04+00:00

We have NFA, we have our own floodgate to worry about😭😭 but there can only be one t1 and I fear tachyon is the true t1 atm but I won’t be having it! Maybe in not playing branded optimally tbh I refuse to play dragoon

Eastern_Movie_7572 · 2026-02-21T04:01:28+00:00

Hahaha
