Glow-Up Bulb vs. Plaguespreader Zombie

[Canadian]

Hey /tcg/, I want to know which card YCM thinks is better. Please be sure to give your reasoning and opinions.

Cards being voted upon:

Have fun.

I like PSZ better, because it's DARK. And I think placing that card back to the top of the deck (dead draw or not) can come in handy. Infernities much?

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

It partially depends on the Synchros you want to Summon, and a lot on the deck that you built. However, if you had to pick overall, I would say Glow-Up. While it can't be reused, it doesn't take a -1 card in hand and dead draw to Summon it.

[Canadian]

I'm going to say this before anybody else does, both are great but have individual uses. For example:

PSZ is alot better in Zombie decks (duh), and alot of Dark builds because it has a huge amount of support.

Glow-Up can make Formula Synchron. It has plant support (which surprisingly is alot of support). Glow-Up also mills instead of spinning a card which doesn't lower hand advantage.

[TheTurtleOnceCalledGod]

I say Glow-Up bulb nowadays is better, may be due to my bias towards it *got one at the preview* and extensive use of it (already had an ult. psz as well), is that even after it is used up, it can be used by [i]Spore[/i] for a second option such that you can turn it into a lvl 2 or a lvl 4 tuner (normally you would remove a lonefire). Overall, both are great, but glow-up is more versatile nowadays.

[Mehmani]

Although PSZ's cost is not exactly a good thing, it has the advantage of being reused, something Bulb cannot do. PSZ also has more support. However, Bulb can make Formula Synchron and also boasts a plethora of support options.

For mainstream playability, Bulb wins.

i'd say glow-up bulb, because although with it's effect, it cannot be recycled, but it does have plant support. But with PSZ if it was SS with it's effect if it is removed from the field, it's removed from the game. (and you can only use 1 PSZ, whereas with bulb you can use 3 at the moment but that is irrelevant)

[Just Crouton]

Plaguespreader. Ideally, you can synch it with something, revive with Mezuki, synch again, use PSZ's effect, synch again, recycle with Shutendoji for more shenanigans later. A similar event happened to me in WC09 without Shuten.

[just-duelist]

depends on the deck...

[Sephiroth_The_Legend]

Both function amazingly in their own right.

You can't really say which is better.

Although Bulb might be a little more splashable, it's once only use kinda sucks.

[Dries965]

They are both amazing, and i cannot decide which is better, i cant wait to get bulb in my LS deck

[Anacondas1]

I has lightsworn and being able to place a dead-drawn Wulf on the top-deck for mill is just amusing

As for acctual vote, it will have to PSZ - for the above reason, the fact I got my first one the other day - but I shall have to try and find a glow-up bulb to try out

I've done the same thing but with Malicious! (:

[King of Nothing]

It depends on the deck. I can see Glow-up Bulb in Lightsworn, even if it's not light. I can also see Plague in lightsworns. I value self-mill higher then deck-stacking though. I gotta give this one to glow-up bulb. Plus, I love the level 1 tuners.

[DARKPLANT RISING]

They work best in the pair with Wulf, but I think PSZ is overall better. The Synchros with even levels tend to be better than the vice versa.

How can a card have too many support options?

PSZ is good for getting stuff back into the deck - dead-drawn Wulf, as previously mentioned, or my personal favorite (back when it was all the rage) Malicious - but Glow-Up has its uses as well.

I was saying that both of them had a wide variety of support, which is a good thing. I prefer Bulb though, because that top-deck is only good for milling like in LS. PSZ is better in LS and in Zombies. Bulb can fit into any deck better than PSZ can.

This really has to be the one merit that PSZ has that I like. Most decks run lvl 4's alot more than lvl 3's which result in Goyo's/Brio's instead of Catastor's/Andriod's.

With Imperial Iron Wall it makes PSZ effect have an <><> use while you can only use Grow Up Bulbs is Once per duel

Was that an attempt to make an ∞ symbol?

Either way, most Tokens are level 1, not 0, and Formula is awesome. Keep PSZ to LS and Zombies as a first choice, otherwise I'd always put Grow-Up first.

Well...

DSF is banned, but the other two could be said. Then again, Glow-Up can't get out Trishula so easily, right?

Most likely, two Level 4s and Glow-Up Bulb.
Summoner Monk, a Spell card in hand, and Glow-Up in graveyard is probably the easiest way.

[sebihp2007]

I'll have to say PSZ .. it's a DARK monster and such it helps with DaD and all (and DARK support is a lot more needed in most Decks than plant support) .. also, it has a +1 level advantage and is of a lot more usage when on a blank field (e.g: you can Special Summon PSZ, Normal Summon Lumina, then Special Summon Level 4 monster for Mist Wurm, which can get rid of the more powerful cards like Stardust Dragon or Shooting Stardust Dragon, Yubel, etc)

Although its cost is definitely worse than the Bulb's, but hey, there we go ..

Why is there so much more buzz about Glow-Up then Spore? I mean, sure Glow-Up's amazing, but Spore's pretty awesome too.
