Cute Rotten Yoshika Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 If your opponent controls a monster and you control only "Gimmick Puppet" monsters, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand).

Zazubat Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 You know, I don't play Gimmick Puppets, but I can see this becoming pretty useful. You can also always use Inferno in this guy as well when you SS it this to get more out. I don't know if Gimmick Puppets play with this that much, but I could see myself putting it in a their Deck.

Headmaster Monokuma Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I personally consider this the best Main Deck Gimmick Puppet. Sure, there is Dreary Doll, but while she's good, I can't see the deck even being a thing without this. Of course, she's important too, I just think this guy is a bit more critical.

evilfusion Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 The problem is there are barely any Gimmick Puppets at all, and they don't seem to have much in terms of smooth combos. This card's SS condition is pretty good, except of the other Gimmick Puppets, 3 of them are Rank 8, and the other is Level 8 that needs to be in the Graveyard with another Gimmick Puppet to have use. So...you're not usually going to be controlling Gimmick Puppets early game without Grave set-up, and the best forms of Grave setup aren't Gimmick Puppets. Plus, your opponent needs to control a monster, which means it's still somewhat conditional. It has SS potential as a DARK with 1000 ATK with things like Mystic Tomato or Limit Reverse, etc, but...eh...it just doesn't mesh very well with anything because of how little support it got. Once again, I will voice my wonder of why Gimmick Puppets other than the Numbers were printed at all. We have 2 monsters and a Spell, and one of the monsters only works for Gimmick Puppet Xyz and the other one needs you to only control Gimmick Puppets to Special Summon it from the hand. The Spell revives a Gimmick Puppet. So best combo is Foolish Burial, Puppet Revival or whatever the name is, and this. And you can't do that turn 1, because your opponent needs to have a monster. I thought the archetype was too gimmicky to print originally, and now I'm just irritated they did it and gave it so little support so that it's a struggle to do anything. OOPArts and Heraldic Beasts fare similarly, in that they had so much potential, but will probably not get any new support for a LONG time, if ever, leaving them eternally forgotten as a Deck. At least OOPArt support got printed alongside the Gimmick Puppets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cute Rotten Yoshika Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 MATHEMATICALLY speaking, i think the art is really neat. :3 sadly, as evilfusion said, the actual prospects of more support are almost none. >: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newhat Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Gimmick Puppets work with Clockwork Shikigami and with Machina Fortress. Fortress is how you get them into the Graveyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortress is how you get them into the Graveyard. yes i know. i run the deck. but its not possible to do a pure build, or even something thats more than "maximum amounts of the 3 main deck cards, 31 other cards that are just facilitators" which is a bummer for an archetype with a really cool concept and flavor.

Don't worry claire, we can bug Konami to get the rest of them :( anyway, the card's really neat like Necro Doll. There's just so much going for a DARK, Level 8 Machine with low stats and a easy special summon condition that fuels another card with a special summon condition.
