Branded Darklord Despia | Post Ban-list Update | Limited to 1 Branded Fusion | Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Finally got around to re-visiting one of the Branded Darklord Despia variants following the recent Banlist update where Branded Fusion got limited to 1 and seeing how or if it affected the deck then exploring tech options. Of course, it also depends on personal preference and play style which I usually tend to primarily lean more towards the Darklord Despia side. These were some of the replay highlights of how my matches, which I feel did not affect this version of the deck too badly, as needing a second Branded Fusion did not usually come up very often in my experience. Also, because there is always the ability to use the effect of Trajedy to recover Branded Fusion and one could even include Branded Retribution as a very good additional option, which I highly consider. Although, I ended up going another route with a different tech option I have been main decking recently being Waking the Dragon as it has versatile use cases through using it as bait and summoning practically any monster from the deck or extra deck as soon as an opponent removes it from the field (except being shuffled back into the deck), which happens more often than not. In a way it almost achieves the same goal but with different use cases, possibly even better depending on the situation (or maybe I'm just coping? lol).
