How to beat Morgana as Brand: the early game

Levels 1-2 favor you hard: Morgana's Q is a slow skillshot easy to sidestep behind minions, and without it landing she has zero pressure, so poke with Q auto and threaten the level-2 combo. Her binding is slow and easy to sidestep behind minions, and without it she has no answer to your rotation. Keep Blaze applied and burn her whenever she steps forward. Her shield blocks the stun, so make her spend it on your ADC before you commit Sear.
