I LOVE this guide but I have a dilemma. What is it more worth unboxing?:

Just the Colossal Match Secret Pack (it has most of the URs needed BUT 50% chances you get random @$$ URs), then craft the missing ones with UR dust

(https://www.masterduelmeta.com/sets/Colossal Mech/)

Just the Chaotic Showtime Selection Pack (it has 0% chances of getting non-pack related URs BUT higher rate of getting unwanted URs), then craft the MANY missing ones with UR dust from unwanted URs from that same pack

(https://www.masterduelmeta.com/sets/Chaotic Showtime/)

Should I unbox one pack then switch to the other?

I feel like you glance over a lot of cards. This is an issue with every guide on this site where it feels like someone gives a commentary over each card as opposed to explaining cards thoroughly. I know there are a lot of cards, but you chose to write this guide so maybe tell players as much as you can so they can be compelled to experiment and discover things that you didn't.

I feel like i'd like to mention the rest of the Gimmick Puppet cards quickly, mainly since it's the only deck I know well in depth before and after support.

Gearchanger is a very funny card, it's an amazing small world target of all things, being the bridge to turn any puppet into either little soldiers/rogue doll or also the machine kaiju for removal of certain monsters, though otherwise isn't too useful for his effects now that little soldiers can make normal summons into 8s.

Humpty Dumpty is actually the better card in the main deck than magnet doll, at least until the TCG gets Fiendish Knight, being the more useful way to use cards multiple times, such as having more ways to get the added back Rogue doll if used already out to the field.

Egg Head was a fine option pre support for some flexibility for levels and bricks but now is way too costly and hard to really use.

Des Troy sucked then, Des Troy sucks now.

Scissor Arms isn't bad, he also isn't good, run him if you have space, don't worry if you can't.

Magnet Doll is an amazing side card even too this day and with fiendish knight, it's very reliable going second so 3 in the side deck is really useful, especially if you have a brick in hand to bring out via chimera but also want to search for a useful add, summon the brick off chimera and then the added magnet doll.

Shadowfeeler was, at least used because it was a decent parade target, we do not run parade as our one and only game plan anymore.

Twilight Joker is an amazing design, name and theme. Isn't useful though.

Nightmare is busted. Just not in puppet... or against puppet.

Junk Puppet was a fine one of alongside one monster reborn since that one extra summon could close out a lot of games, especially if drawn off dark strings. Nowadays it is useless and even then, just run monster reborn.

Puppet Ritual was really bad because it took away your battle phase, ******** you out of game. Now it is really bad because its other restriction asks you to be at 2000 less lps, when we wanted that for parade sure, not when we want to ftk now.

Perform Puppet was always the... weirdest card. It worked great with Leo and Twilight Joker of all things, allowing for games where you focus on keeping an endless loop of high ATK monsters going, endlessly fuelling dreary doll for more summons. This was not practical and even less good. It's cute, very cute as an idea but just does not work in the deck at all.

Puppet Parade was the heart and soul of the deck, set up a decent defence of traps, take a direct hit, go 2000 lower, then deck summon up to 5 monsters and grab your rank-up, it was amazing and the only real way you'd win games, especially for making otks. Now it isn't really worth it since the deck actually wants to do something going first, it's okay at one as an extra search from Chaos Quattro if the other gets drawn but isn't worth it anymore unless you really want to pretend shadowfeeler is still good.
