BRANDED'S GETTING HIT ON THE BANLIST?

A Yu-Gi-Oh! Banlist is coming soon, and we need to talk about Branded's place on it. Branded's usage just fell to 4% in the OCG — so why is everyone still convinced it needs to get hit on the July 2026 banlist? In this video I break down the real usage numbers on Fallen of Albaz, The Fallen & The Virtuous, and Super Polymerization, look back at Branded's actual banlist history (Branded Expulsion, Gimmick Puppet Nightmare, and Branded Fusion), and give my final prediction for what Konami probably will hit this upcoming banlist. 0:00 Intro 0:35 The Banlist Discussion Begins 2:23 The Floodgate Argument 7:54 Why People Want Branded Hit 9:14 Branded's Nationals Wins 13:49 Branded is a VERY Difficult Deck 15:51 The Possible Hits 18:46 The OCG Check 21:58 Why The Obvious Hits Are Wrong 24:32 My Final Banlist Answer 26:02 Outro Grab the full 220+ Combo Branded spreadsheet: www.metagamesgx.com (updated weekly) #yugioh #brandeddespia #yugiohtcg #masterduel 🔔 Subscribe for competitive Branded coverage, combo guides, and tournament breakdowns. checkout my main youtube channel for weekly live streams and daily uploads https://www.youtube.com/@MetaGamesGX/videos Check out these links if you'd like to support my content! ► Spreadsheet https://metagamesgx.com/products/yugioh-spreadsheet ► Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/metagamesgx ► X / Twitter https://twitter.com/metagamesgx ► Discord https://discord.gg/pvuCRZGGSA ► Classroom https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8M7OtpSbtdU4DQQv9AoRXA/join ► Merch https://www.metagamesgx.com ► Main Channel https://www.youtube.com/@MetaGamesGX ► TCGPLAYER Affiliate link https://tcgplayer.pxf.io/Pyg4EQ ► Instagram https://www.instagram.com/metagamesgx/ ► whatnot affiliate https://www.whatnot.com/invite/metagamesgx ► JUNGCards 10% off OCG Accesories using code "Branded10" https://www.jungcards.com/ HOW TO PLAY BRANDED IN 2026 - https://youtu.be/Es0OPdftmdo
