Gimmick Puppets

[Your_Innocence]

my first time trying to make cards, so any constructive criticism is appreciated.

 

monsters-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

gimmick puppet of phantasms

xyz 2500 attack 2500 defense

2 level 8 "gimmick puppet" monsters

up to twice per turn, during either player's turn, you can detach 1 xyz material from this card to banish 1 spell or trap card on the field

 

 

gimmick puppet - harlequin

level 8 1000 attack 1000 defense

if this card is discarded to the graveyard by a "gimmick" card's effect special summon it to your side of the field

 

 

gimmick puppet - shadow

level 8 500 attack 500 defense

if this card is attacked by an opponent's monster, discard 1 "gimmick" card, take damage equal to that monster's attack, then end the battle phase

 

 

gimmick puppet - paranoia doll

level 8 0 attack 0 defense

return 1 banished "gimmick puppet" monster to the graveyard and special summon this card from the grave. you can only use the effect of "gimmick puppet - paranoia doll" once per turn

 

traps----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

gimmick box

normal trap

activate only when your opponent attacks you directly, discard 1 "gimmick puppet" monster and special summon this card to your side of the field as an effect monster(machine, dark, level 8, ?attack, ?defense) and end the battle phase. this card's attack and defense are equal to the monster that attacked you. if this card is destroyed while treated as an effect monster, take damage equal to this cards attack

 

 

xyz gimmick

normal trap

detach 1 xyz material from 1 "gimmick puppet" xyz monster you control, this card's effect becomes the effect of that monster, you can only this effect once per turn

 

 

counter gimmick

counter trap

banish 1 "gimmick puppet" monster from your hand or grave, negate the activation of an opponent's spell or trap and destroy it

 

spells----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

puppet gift

quick-play spell

special summon 2 "puppet tokens" (level 1, dark, 1500 attack, 0 defense) in defense position to your opponent's side of the field, they cannot attack, be tributed or be used for a synchro summon. when a puppet token is destroyed by card effect, their controller takes 500 damage

 

 

 

 

once again constructive criticism is appreciated :D

nothing to say? D:

Paranoia Doll is busted, even for a Gimmick Puppet.
It + Necro Doll, and as long as you have another Gimmick Puppet in your Graveyard, you can basically Xyz for a Gimmick Puppet(Likely, Strings for the 3K) out of nowhere, for no cost/drawback at all.

I like your approach to these, but they just seem like they are missing something.

[Your_Innocence]

yeah i guess she is broken, but i liked the idea of gimmick puppets using the grave and the banished zone as a base for their swarming (plus i couldn't come up with a Better effect -_-')

Gimmick Puppets were supposed to wonky from the git-go, but I see what your getting at.
The issue is, and I already mentioned this, is that IRL Dreary Doll + Paranoia is basically free Rank 8s out of nowhere.
Even if it IS once per turn.

[Your_Innocence]

yeah, paranoia doll needs some kind of drawback like "you can't xyz summon the turn this card was summoned this way" to make it work better with something like night joker
