Gimmick Puppet Des Troy

[.codex]

I saw this some time ago, and didn't it lack the "up to 2" on it? It seems like it's that now, at least that's what I read on DN and the wikia. It might have always had it, but I don't remember it having it before. 

You can target 1 "Gimmick Puppet" monster you control; destroy it. Thiseffect can only be used once while this card is face-up on the field. When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: You can Special Summon up to 2 "Gimmick Puppet" monsters from your hand.

That horse is seriously ****ed up when you actually notice it's made of a bunch of dolls, and it's even worse when you realize it might have stuff like Dreary Doll and Nightmare inside it, to fit with its Trojan horse theme.

 

Gameplay-wise, it's meant to help deal with dead hands that are typical of pure Gimmick Puppets, but I think the Machina way of dealing with it is better than this.  This can trigger the Meklord Emperors though, which might be worth taking a look at.

From the hand kills it completely.

 

There are better ways of moving Puppets out of the hand in the deck than this.

 

It would be so much better if it went from the deck. Incredible in fact. But no... they don't like the deck enough for that.

If this were Hand or Graveyard like Ambush Soldier, it would have been good. Somebody suggested Deck, but that sounds like a horrible idea. As is, it's a wall that alo unclogs hands, which is okay.

I think this is a odd GP, It may just be me being thick but why would you use the first eff? the only thing I can think of that would be helpful is to get a GP in the grave for necro doll.

He can kill himself to trigger his second effect.

Consider reading the card before you post. This guy kills himself for his effect. That's the idea.

Tbh I think its a brilliant card, its something GPs can use to stall with that whopping 2000 DEF. And its effects really activate when you want them too, so you can buildup a hand through stuff like Trade-In and go for an assault.

Pretty much.
Also, if given the right scenario, would make something like Giantrainer pretty easily.

you actually notice it's made of a bunch of dolls-

Gimmick Puppet Nightmare says hi.

[玄魔の王]

Upon further assessment, it's not actually a -1 since it fuels Necro Doll. So I'm okay with it.

I'm pretty sure the OCG division of the game named this card "Death Troy" just so that TCG can name it "Des Troy", as in "Destroy" (and it can destroy itself).  Fridge Brilliance at its best in the game.

 

As for the card itself, it's meh.  It is an Outside Context Option card though.
