Gimmick Puppet - Ancient Antoinette 
DARK
Link: DR
Machine/Link/Effect 
1 "Gimmick Puppet" Monster, except Link Monsters
When this card is Link Summoned: you can target 1 monster in your opponents GY; Special Summon the targeted monster to a zone this card points and its treated as a Level 8 Machine "Gimmick Puppet" monster but its effects are negated and its ATK and DEF become 0. During your Main Phase: you can Banish this card; Special Summon 1 "Gimmick Puppet" monster from your hand, then, if the summoned monster is Level 4 or lower: the summoned monsters Level becomes 8. During the turn you activate either of this cards effects, you cannot Special Summon monsters from your Extra Deck except Machine Monsters. You can only activate each effect of "Gimmick Puppet - Ancient Antoinette" once per turn.
ATK/0 LINK-1

So Ancient Antoinette is a Link 1 Gimmick Puppet that sets up your Xyz monsters by getting a monster from your opponents grave and setting it up as a Level 8 Machine monster thats treated as a Gimmick Puppet and then you can banish it to summon a Gimmick Puppet from your hand where its Level becomes 8 if you summon a Level 4 or lower Gimmick Puppet from your hand where with both of these effects it locks you into summoning only Machine Extra Deck Monsters.

Ideally this can be set up for Giant Grinder and Strings for Rank 8 Xyz monsters or with 2 machine monsters on the field make a Link 2 monster like Genius.

The problem with this card is that it fixes none of the issues that plague GP, but instead exemplifies them. Unless your opponent used a hand trap its first effect is useless turn one, which isn’t great given how their second best level 8 (Magnet Doll) and their Xyz are already super reliant on your opponent. And the second effect isn’t any better because you most likely NSed to get the GP that made her, and then you banish her to burn your hand of resources further, which doesn’t help with how fast GP can burn their hand. It’s not great burning a card in your hand to SS from your hand when they have no means of replenishing it.

You might as well remove both effects and just have her banish herself to SS 2 GP from your grave and make their levels 8. You’d get more bing for your buck that way by making her a better Puppet Ritual.
