Preventing the resolution of Branded Fusion is the single most important thing for the deck, but if they go for the synchro plays, preventing the Ecclesia synchro from summoning anything is just as important, as summoning a synchro prevents them from using BraFu.

After they use second Marten effect and parfume dancer.

This is good chokepoint, if they dont have Masquarade. So the only way they summon liger is using Wolf. Make sure they already using Marten and parfume dancer effect. So they cannot bounce Wolf from pendulum scale
