Card	Chokepoint	Explanation	Impact	Link
	Branded Fusion	Branded Fusion is the best starter in the Deck. Only Ash Aluber if - the opponent is low card in hand - they don't have Branded Fusion in hand (you can guess by total number of - they don't have any effect that can retrieve Branded Fusion from the GY (like GY effect of Branded Retribution or Despian Tragedy)	Great	View Edit
	- Branded in Red target - Lubellion the Searing Dragon in GY - Fallen of Albaz (during Albion's effect) - Block their Bystials		Usable	View Edit
	- Branded Fusion (chain to Branded Retribution or Despian Tragedy's GY effect that recover Branded Fusion from GY) - Branded in Red target - Lubellion the Searing Dragon in GY - Fallen of Albaz (during Albion's effect)	Prevent recrusion of Branded Fusion (their main card to gain advance)	Usable	View Edit
	Stops all their GY effects, prevents them from reusing materials from Branded Fusion		Great	View Edit
	Only bad hands lose to Droll		Bad	View Edit
	Guiding Quem, the Virtuous Aluber Cartesia Lubellion The Searing Dragon Albion The Branded Dragon	Veiler on any of these if its the only card on board is quite decent. If they have cartesia + Aluber/Quem then veiler gets checked by cartesia. Also decent against Lubellion and Albion if you know they don't have a quick effect/play to dodge veiler. For example, if you know they don't have Branded in Red or Branded Banishment set up.	Usable	View Edit
	- Branded Retribution (add Branded Fusion from GY) - Despian Tragedy (add Branded Fusion from GY) - Albion the Branded Dragon		Usable	View Edit
	Lubellion the Searing Dragon (if no Branded Lost on the Field)		Usable	View Edit
	- Branded Regained - Branded Beast		Bad	View Edit
	Which ever they open first: 1. - Lubellion the Searing Dragon (if they open with Branded Fusion, and no Branded Lost on field) - Aluber the Jester of Despia / Springans Kitt (if they open with summon Aluber/Kitt. otherwise they will search Branded Lost and prevent us Imperm on Fusion) (however only if they don't have Blazing Cartesia, the Virtuous on the field, since they can use Cartesia Quick effect to dodge the negate) 2. Albion (If started with Fusion Deployment- Cartesia) 3. Guiding Quem, the Virtuous	Lubellion they have to discard a card for cost, and they usually play it as a 1 of 90% of the time, and it's the best resource looper, so if you imperm it they won't get it back	Usable	View Edit
	Ideally use it before they can set up their GY, otherwise Albion adds Branded in Red in End Phase. Also use it before they search Mercourier.		Great	View Edit
	Albion, Lubellion (if no Branded Lost) Quem (normal summon)		Great	View Edit
	Branded Retribution (to add Branded Fusion from GY)		Weak	View Edit
