In the anime, the two leos were significantly more efficient. Leo didn't restrict you from attacking or using backrow and chaos leo won the duel when he ran out of xyz material, regardless of the life point total. Zexal had a weird fascination with over-balancing the number cards even though they weren't that broken in the anime.

Fun fact: the italian version of No.15 kept the original name in the translation.

[@succubastard1019]

@@jairoconsolascio5226 Only in Zexal 1, because the anime episodes that contained the Gimmick Puppet Monsters were dubbed earlier than the cards coming out in the TCG. Later in Zexal 2, their names were changed to match the actual translated cards. Even Kite's partners kept their original names (Droit and Gauche) in the first half of the anime but were changed to Dextra and Nixtro in Zexal 2. I believe that the names of the Tron family (Tron, Three, Four and Five) were left unchanged from the original Japanese throughout the rest fo the dub though. The airing of the episodes of Zexal in Italy was a fucking mess.

[@Zobi_YT]

A couple mistakes I realised. You cannot use junk puppet to revive a gimmick puppet xyz and slap a spider on it because pain gainer requires the xyz monster to have 2 materials present before doing so. This was most likely a balancing option do to the fact that you can board wipe with Ravenous's atk and potentially board wipe a second time with Paingainer's defense on the same turn to clear out any floaters if the restriction wasn't present. Also Ranked up monsters don't free up the extra deck zone infact they do the opposite, if you have a utopia and you want to slap lightning on him and he's in the main monster zone Lightning must be summoned in a linked/extra deck zone moving the utopia material under him and same goes for the spiders and rank-up magic variants. Man link formats just detering me, how am I going to play trains now just sit on Dora until he dies while my other rank 10 plays lay dead in my hand. Its not like links even slowed down the game the fuckers are blue because they are sanic speed and can even clog your opponents extra deck zone through extra linking with great protection under a monster who can bounce at most 4 cards during either players turn. Save me Rank10 yugioh teach me how make trains survive link format.

[@rank10ygo]

[@Kuribohdudalala]

Zobi wait, when was that ruling about RUM announced?!

[@Zobi_YT]

beyondtheduel.com/master-rule-updates-special-summoning-extra-deck-monsters/ It's not an official ruling yet it is just questions answered from Konami’s ruling help desk. But it is pretty sad though and I'm going to miss playing Tzolkin. I honestly think only proper extra deck summons should be limited to the extra/link zone but eh Konami is Konami.

[@Kuribohdudalala]

Zobi the Tzolkin thing was confirmed, but I don't see why that applies to RUMs

[@Zobi_YT]

Did you read further down the link I posted? If not here is the bit to save you the trouble. (Q. If my Extra Monster Zone is empty and there are no Link Markers (pointing to Zones) on my field, and I have a Number 39: Utopia on my Main Monster Zone. If I were to overlay Number S39: Utopia the Lightning over it, must I summon it to my Extra Monster Zone? A. In this scenario, your Number S39: Utopia the Lightning must be Xyz summoned to your Extra Monster Zone. Additional note: When ranking up your Xyz monsters, they must go to an Extra Monster Zone / Linked Main Monster Zone regardless of which zone the original Xyz monster was on.) It does make a bit of sense because rank ups technically summon a new monster to the board and just use the xyz under it as material.

[@chaosae3143]

Here's the way to win with leo's effect. First: summon the damn thing. Then use onigami combo to attack the opponent twice for at least 5000 damage. Then rank-up into disaster leo to detach the last xyz material and deal another thousand lp. If your opponent isn't dead yet, declare end of turn. Congrats.

Wohoo another Archetype Archive, i love these. Funny enough i was just getting to episode 137 of Zexal when i watched this so i was pretty keen on the Gimmick Puppets after seeing Thomas, or IV, use them so much. What i personally like about this archetype is the artwork. The dark theme playing on the paranoia of dolls coming to life, works even better since some of them like Dreary Doll is dead, buried and then comes back to life, is both very interesting and scary.

It´s funny, how they nerfed both Leo´s so much, that they became worthless :/ The Anime Leo just needed to detach all Xyz Materials, you could still attack and no limitation on Spell/Trapp Cards and Chaos Leo was one of the most absurd Burn Cards, since it was unaffected by other Monster Effects and could burn the opponent for 4000!! per detach, also you would win, if he has no materials. I like Gimmick Puppet´s for theis design and they could OTK, if the planet´s alligned right, but most of the time, you would pass your turn, since this Deck can brick - hard.

What konami should have done to slow the game, rather fhan links: you can only special summon frome each location (hand, deck, graveyard, and extra deck) once per turn, unless an effect says otherwise. Also, more draw power, but only be able to activate one search out 2 cards per turn (one from the deck, one from the graveyard) unless a card effect says otherwise. That would slow the game, and make it less frusterating

[@thetruekingjay4154]

Seeing this in 2020 and he mentions link being new gave me whiplash

[@Gundam_NeonOmen]

Why is your content the absolute best? I make popcorn for every video!

[@DarthVader1273]

My first official deck that I built on my own was actually a Gimmick Puppet deck. It was spicy and won quite a lot, but I had to build a new deck to contest with my friend’s Cyber Dragon deck after I couldn’t win with it anymore.

[@user-mh9dx7nz2r]

Are you me? That's exactly what I did.

[@DarthVader1273]

Myles W Did you also have to build a new deck against Cyber Dragons When Gimmick Puppets were no longer cutting it?

[@Zac_the_Intern]

You could always Junk Puppet Leo then Rank up into Disaster Leo To burn for 1000 and end with no materials... All we need to figure out is a way to deal 5000 more damage

[@juuichimikazuki2863]

If anyone didn't pause to see the gag about the Rank Up Magic card, it was Rank-Up Magic Quick Chaos

[@coolbrotherf127]

Man, I remember when Link summoning was new and no body had any idea the absolute menace Firewall Dragon would become.

[@andresl2596]

I think that Toons may be a good archetype to review, being a deck focused on attacking directly, but usually having to wait a turn and dying to MST. It's not worthless but i think it's a good "better than worthless" option for a video.

[@blerg3011]

you should do gladiator beasts next, those guys were awesome.

[@a1joryj]

WOO! An Archetype Archive on my birthday! Thank you Rank10!

[@Madslav398]

Fun fact about gimmick puppet nightmare: of course it sucks in Gimmick puppets - its always been part of the Branded archetype

[@Lorddrake4444.]

disaster Leo actually was pretty damn broken In the anime it dealt 4000 dmg per detach and got its win con by having no materials instead of counters so its just another broken anime card turned into shitty fan service (pun intended xD)

[@DemonicTemplar3]

earthbound immortal next

[@Thegamer8792]

60 card lawnmowing kaiju gimmick puppets let's go

[@IggysEden]

Awesome, I've been waiting for this for a while!

[@chaisab7]

Well I used to play gimmick puppets (last time... Today... Confidence?). All I have to say is, I am not running any lvl 4 except the egg (because they slow the game and beicks) and ofc I don't run any ranks 4 xyz. I am able to produce like 2 xyz in one turn without big problems... Also Kaiju engine works great. Nobody care but thx for attention xD

[@brandonmedina9527]

chaisab7 no problem

[@RainbowSpark2411]

can you give recipe? I have the gimmick base, I played it for sometime but...

[@vujadinradovic9998]

Try Beating Blue Eyes Without losing LP and thats the second duel i used Gimmick Pupets

[@Dannysapphire]

I think Chronomaly would be cool for the next Archetype Archive the guy that played Gimmick Puppets brother used Chronomaly.

[@dreadknight2439]

DanielSapphire Trey in the dubbed anime I believe 3 in the original His first actual name before his father came back in to his life was Michael

[@wolfox7776]

And 4 (Aka Quatro. really can't hate the dub for those name IMO) his original name is Thomas.

[@boneafide]

Can’t forget Dyson sphere :D oh and that dude with white hair and a stupid name.

[@paulomendoza5606]

i remember a duel i had with gimmick puppets (i'm using igknight synchro). 1st turn he brought out Leo, i pretended i didn't have an out, then when it got 2 counters i dropped a Trishula. That same game i also managed to Goyo snatch a Des Troy, and used its effect to destroy his Strings

[@abyssalsyndicate8592]

it looks like he lives in a giant box

[@dumbnerd8316]

Honestly Rata, your under rating gear changer. It is a major "cog" (excuse my pun) in many gimmick puppet deck. You argue that you already need a high level monster, though that is actually pretty easy with gear changer. Normally you either have dreary in your graveyard, or magnet doll in your hand. Anybody who has played gimmick puppets would probably agree with me.

[@sablonanime650]

I disagree, the card can’t be machine duped and starts as a level 1 that’s basically useless if you don’t have another puppet on board. your best bet is playing one for one, which feels like a waste. Now the one I think is underrated is des Troy, the reason being a little card called desperado barrel dragon, it’s a strong level 8 with removal and draw power and all it requires is the destruction of a dark machine. which des Troy does for free.

[@servetugur7192]

@UC32Mcc_83KM1O_2hIrjZsOA shut the fuck up this isnt duel links.

[@williambaxter941]

(Relatively new player opinion incoming) Been experimenting with Gimmicks for some time, and I have some some-up points. 1. I think I used Nightmare effectively once or twice to reload my Xyz's (undo effects set on them and give them new Xyz materials). 2. This deck would be useless without Dreary doll. 3. When you are about to Xyz summon, 90% of the time it's best to go with Giant Grinder. 4. Giant Hunter is god. (But beware summon traps!) 5. When your opponent is about to wipe you out with 3-4 monsters, and you happen to have a Rank-up in hand. only then should you use Puppet of Stings... just to then summon Dark Stings... 6. Leo (and CLeo) have been mostly pointless in my time. 7. Scissors will die... ALWAYS! (how I usually get Twilight joker working) 8. Gimmicks pair well with Machina Cannon, and Machina Fortress. If you are concerned about the idea that your monsters are your friends, and that they feel fear. Then prepare to become a fucking Sadist, because these things were born to be scrapped into the GY, over... and over... and over again..

[@matteoford3952]

Fun tidbit for anyone looking to use a gimmick puppet deck. The field spell Heavy Metal Raiders helps with field consistency and adding Qliphort Genius at two is good for resummoning a link-3 like decode talker to help with spaces for your Xyz monsters.

[@saulpacheco465]

Finally a new video and one of my fav arc types.

[@moesirwan4307]

everytime i say "hey did ratta forget about us ?" he somehow uploads a new video... weird huh ?

[@TheBlackSerpentBeta]

When In first saw Shadow Feeler, I though it was two dudes sharing an afro I did not see the arms

[@TheHikariOne]

Not only was there a Monster Hunter reference in this video, it was a friggin' Monster Hunter Frontier reference lmao. If I weren't subbed already that would have earned it alone.

[@giantdouche7642]

00:42 ''What is that?!'' Well, for me that's a reason to go out and grab a pack of cigarettes.
