GIMMICK PUPPET - Ten Minute Testing

[@__-be1gk]

"The field spell only makes the cards on the FIELD completely uninteractable in this ftk deck, so its not very good" Yugioh is wild dude

[@dhanyl2725]

Tbf you saw what the best of 3 deck did right?

[@WavemasterAshi]

So what you're saying is that it's fair and balanced...

[@Endershock1678]

It’s definitely a context thing. In this deck, the cards you really want to avoid being interacted with, like Rouge Doll, are ones that activate in hand or grave, while the monsters on field are more likely to be Imperm’d than Veiler’d or Mourner’d. If this was printed in say… Ritual Beast, the deck would probably be Tier 0.

[@undeadinside3571]

It ONLY makes them immune to nibiru and everything else that usually stops them besides imperm

[@s.dalner7245]

Well, I don't think it's fair to say it's JUST a Dark Hole, considering it also inflicts decent damage and puts a 3300 ATK body on the board. Which all becomes rather instrumental in an FTK deck. Doesn't make this deck competitive or even ok in the "ethical" sense, if you ask me, but I find the comparison to Dark Hole a bit disingenuous.

But another play you missed was, when you summoned twin on opponent turn, you should have popped your tri-horn instead, which then would trigger in GY letting you pop 2 cards on opponent side of the field.

*Chills Voice* Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder. The last thing you'd want in this duel, is for your monsters to be put through the wood chipper, but as it turns out, that might be what you get. By using one overlay unit, Giant Grinder destroys your monster, and if it's an Xyz Monster, you take damage, equal to its attack points.

[@YourKingSkeletor]

Honestly, deck has an ok end board and can go second decently enough. Problem is, it has basically 0 match up into an established Snake Eye Fiendsmith board (just does too much) but the critical mass of handtraps helps. Tl;dr: this is probably the best budget deck to play that you can top locals often and regionals/ycs from time to time with (or second cuz Spright's budget now too).

[@KuroDokueki]

Take a shot each time he pronounces "Rogue/Rouge/Rohuge" a different way this video.

[@colossaldonut5190]

So you're telling me it's an FTK strategy that relies on hand traps to go off? Dang, if only there was a deck that had a ton of space for non-engine while also having a consistently good combo that leads to strong end boards in this format! Too bad none of those exist right now.

[@LadyTsunade777]

Honestly, making it into an FTK deck isn't a bad thing considering 95% of games now-a-days are entirely decided on turn 1 or 2. So making an archetype into dedicated FTK turbo just feels natural to that. As a Rank 10 Trains enjoyer that specifically plays Trains and not Earth Machine, Kochobo's Hinamatsuri looks really neat as a possible extender, just as Finis Terrae Tower of the Necroworld looks neat as a Rank 10 extender. The main issue is them both not being EARTH (and the Tower not being Machine), but they each have other possible benefits: Hinamatsuri can summon itself from the grave for free because the "banish it when it leaves the field" stops applying when it is used as an XYZ material; and Finis Terrae has "if sent to grave, target face-up card on the field can't be destroyed by card effects this turn" which will trigger when detached from an XYZ to help protect your field.

As a returning player and former Gimmick Puppet enjoyer (in 2014/2015 lol) I loooove this and will buy it. It is cheap, playable and keeps me entertained while I cry about my monarchs bricking and deciding what meta deck I'll buy. Or I just throw more money out of the window because I like Exosisters and want to get Runick, Floowandereeze (yes I have friends, no they do not play yugioh), Unchained, Chimera, Six Sams and Tenpai. Most probably, since SDWD is coming in february, I'll just prep for that, I guess.

[@PatVX1]

I haven't been as excited for support for one of my favourite archtypes since Unchained. The new cards are good, but my only issue with the new Gimmick Puppet deck is that it's either going to FTK you, or it's not going to FTK you. I love the deck by concept and aesthetic, but I feel like this deck is either going to facilitate extremely unfun games for the opposing player, or not FTK you and then it's going to struggle immensely. It's either not going to FTK consistently enough to be a truly strong deck, or it's going to FTK consistently enough that Konami slaps it on the banlist and then we're back to not being super strong. Either way, at least it's cool looking, and I can reasonably say, "I can play Gimmick Puppets in 2024 and it's not a total joke".
