This Is What Branded Looks Like In The Right Hands

I've been playing Branded for over 3 years, and every so often a duel comes along that reframes how I think about the deck. This Nationals finals and semi finals duels were some of them. In this video I'm commentating a Branded vs Maliss and Branded vs Yummy games from a Nationals finals, breaking down how Branded takes over the matchup, the decision points that decide it, and what this particular game taught me about playing the deck at the highest level. Whether you're new to Branded or you've been grinding it for years like me, there's something in this game worth slowing down for. This is the kind of game that reminds you there's always another layer to a deck you thought you had figured out.
