drako is commenting on both screens while he has to concentrate on his own and is only slightly behind in the end while (and this isn't opposed by fire) his rng seems to be worse than fire's and he's been behind in levels for lots of the game (ok, that was his own mistake, but still he caught up)
Even if you could get the punch card, TGH said that it wouldn’t majorly affect the run. The only things that would change would be the addition of wrong warping.
