Buy magic resist, like Mercury Treads then rush Banshee's Veil. Buy a lot of potions and roll 0/9/21 masteries taking health, CDR, mana, mana regen and the "Strength of Spirit" mastery. These will get you a lot of survivability in lane. Also, when laning against Brand ALWAYS start with boots and 3 health potions. Make effort to dodge his pillars of flame and stand behind minions so he can't stun you with Sear. After you get your Banshee and some levels you can easily take him 1v1.
