Card Requirement

Make a Trap monster that fits a commonly-played Deck.

 

Card A

Ghostrick Futakuchi-onna
Continuous Trap Card
If you control no face-up monsters, you can activate this card from your hand. If an opponent’s monster attacks you directly, or if a ”Ghostrick” monster is targeted for an attack: Special Summon this card; It is treated as an Effect Monster (Zombie-type/DARK/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 1000) in face-up defense position, and if you do: Flip 1 monster on the field face-down. This effect of ”Ghostrick Futakuchi-onna” can only be activated once per turn. If this card is destroyed: Draw 1 card. If this card is in the Graveyard because it was sent there from the field: It is also treated as an Effect Monster with the same Attribute, type, Level, ATK and DEF as on the field, but it cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard.

 

Card B

When a monster your opponent controls declares an attack: Negate the attack, and if you do, Special Summon this card in Defense Position as an Effect Monster (Spellcaster-Type/WATER/Level 5/ATK 1000/DEF 2200). (This card is also still a Trap Card.)
While you control this face-up card, your opponent cannot target other monsters you control for attacks or card effects.

Card A is a quite nice support for ghostricks. It's a better face-down flipper for ghostrick compared to the other 2 monsters, and the refund is nice. While card B doesn't seem to have a use in a commonly used decks. The level is awkward, and the effect doesn't really justifies this to be run in any commonly played decks. Card A gets my vote, since it's the more usable one compared of the two.

1-0 Card A

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Card A gets my vote as well due to playability reasons (and fulfilling requirement); good for using their effects and getting a draw out of its destruction.

 

Card B is nice and all (redirecting effects/attacks to this card is nice); in a way similar to Valkyria and similar things; but nothing that'll help a specific Archetype. Much like the monsters that can block attacks (and effects in this case), two of them pretty much means your opponent will have to resort to destruction/bouncing by non-targeting effects

2-0 Card A

[The Warden]

Card A pretty much allows set up since it's a Ghostrick monster, so you can NS the others. It's also another viable target for Specter, though I don't know if the draw stops you from using Specter or not. The additional setting is also handy. My only complaint is that it ignores the theme of the Ghostrick in regards to their Levels and Types. It if it were to be Level 1 then it should have been a Fiend.

 

What deck would use card B? Beyond things like Rank 5 spam, which have much better options I don't really seeing this thing being played often besides stall and burn.

 

So, I vote for A.

Seija Kijin moves on to the Semifinals!

[goddamnit names are a pain]

I made Card B to be played in decks just because it protected you from any attack. I was considering giving it a Battle Fader-Esque effect instead. Would it have been better?

I wanted to ask though, are Ghostricks commonly played yet?

GG Seija.

 

Edit- I noticed the first sentence of the Ghostrick Card. Better than I thought. SS Book of Moon, really. No wonder I was beat. So yeah, GG.
