Sphinx: OCG is off, but the card looks cool and has cool applications. Once its effect is on, it will reward you for overextending, and Catapult Zone will make it nigh-impossible to kill. But there's not a lot of cheap revival for Rocks unless you count Gransoil or Release from Stone, so it would be a hassle to actually get out to use, like Gemini Soldier.

 

Evocator: OCG is more or less correct. Art is crowded and is so close to being interesting, but fails. This would loop if Superalloy Beast Raptinus is face-up; you could get one to Summon the other and go on like that.It's LIGHT and is easy to put in the Graveyard with Featherizer for a quick Supervise flip. You could probably pull something off with cheap strong Geminis like Neos Alius, and it promotes easy Xyzes, but it's suited more for a Gemini Deck than any particular Type.

 

In the end, I...can't vote for either. It's a deadlock to me.

Well, both are decent, but the Evocator gets my vote. I like the art more than the sphinx and it would be overall more useful in its respective deck than the sphinx.

Thanks for voting, both of you.

I give it to the sphinx

 

While I do like them both because of their simplicity I would say that the summoner seems to lean towards more loops. Sure it would take a while to set up any significant loops but there are loops nonetheless. As for the sphinx I find rocks really undersupported so it got bonus points for picking a set whose main purpose in the game was either set up a stun or stall.

Need some more votes

[Northern Sage]

Would love some more votes.

You know what? Chance is going to start aiding in these.

 

Let's break apart the cards.

 

First, off, the Sphinx. It has several good targets going in-for-itself and is further supported by Revival Golem adding several card advantage to your hand. It also fuels itself for more copies, but at a steady rate.

 

Then we have the Gemini that Summons Geminis. Very interesting, very peculiar, and relatively flexible...but unfortunately it lacks. By summoning Gemini monsters themselves it still slows them down quite a bit, even if it Summons itself for instant Xyzs, something that Sphinx could also do and sets up much more efficiently. It's lacking.

 

My vote - Hootcake.

Bump.

Votes please so we can finish.

[Alpakha]

I vote for sphinx, it's more creative. It works with rocks and not just Special Summon 1 X from Y and Z.
