From RONINâ„¢:

"¢ [Re: Proto-Cyber Dragon] You can use "Machine Duplication" and "Proto-Cyber Dragon" to Special Summon up to 2 "Cyber Dragons" from your Deck.

Also from RONINâ„¢:

Proto-Cyber Dragon
Effect Monster (Machine / LIGHT / 3 Stars / ATK 1100 / DEF 600)
This card's name is treated as "Cyber Dragon" while it is face-up on the field.

So, how is it that Proto-Cyber Dragon can be used with Machine Duplication since it's ATK is 1100?


 
I'm lost, but I have a theory. A Legendary Ocean is a Condition, while Proto-Cyber Dragon is a Continuous Effect. Perhaps the Condition is to create an alternate name, while the Continuous Effect replaces the name?

I'd like to thank everybody for playing the 'Try to decipher Konami's thought process' game!
Now we just need to learn to decipher Konami's thought process when they give two different effects the exact same wording. Perhaps they need to employ someone who speaks and understands English.
