Introduction to Branded Despia
It's been over a year since I released my guide, and after all the meta switches on Master Duel, I think it's high time I updated this to more accurately reflect our modern decklists.
Without further ado, let's start with the question, what is our main game plan?
Branded Despia is a fusion-focused combo deck, with heavy emphasis on resource management and matchup knowledge.
We have various ways of fusion summoning using monsters on the opponent's field, notoriously with the monster the whole deck revolves around: <component id="145"/>.
Our decklists tend to lean heavily into engine cards instead of breakers or handtraps, so it's important to know the small interaction between your own cards to squeeze any card advantage you can.
