Northern Sage Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Um, Card A has no Level listed. The new rules null voting based on such an aspect, so it should be okay to fix. Never mind, I thought those were both scales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Card A basically can recycle Mezuki and other banished Zombies when it's either NSed or kills something in battle, based on its effect. 1800/2000 is a bit high for a Level 4 w/out negative effects IMO, but it's not really that bad. The power boost as a Pendulum is helpful, but personally don't think it'll make too much of a difference (it'll help to get over certain threats). Presumably supposed to be working with Capture, I assume. Card B has a Zombie World-esque effect, and requires you to banish Zombies in your own Graveyard to get rid of an opponent's monster. It's a bit counterproductive to how Zombies work with the banishing (outside Mezuki), but it does replenish things once it hits the grave (and you'll probably have enough monsters to banish + get around Stardust/stuff in putting it in the grave). Playability-wise, Zombies should be able to make it without too much problems (Plaguespreader + 1 or 2 other monsters). Factoring that in, this card could also see use in non-Zombie Decks (given this card changes things into Zombies to trigger, minus the optional mill at the end); materials only dictate the Tuner has to be a Zombie; everything else is up to you. It's really a decision on whether Mezuki abuse or having an array of monsters in the Graveyard to get rid of monsters without triggering a destruction effect + being somewhat of a generic Level 8 that only requires PSZ. In the end, I'll have to go with card A. Basically, while recycling Mezuki is something I have reservations about in its case; it's still killable by most common things nowadays without support. (P.S. I can probably take a guess at which card each of them made, based on how stuff is worded/designed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I'll allow it, Nai. Hopefully more people vote by tomorrow, or else card A wins 1-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanael D. Striker Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Yes, contestants can bump. Should have put that in the rules when I made them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I guess bump again then, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Card A Apparently it was designed to work along PM Capture. Card is cute but still, I don't see Pendulum Zombies becoming a thing until they get more Level 4 Zombie Pendulums. Card B Has almost everything a boss card would ask for: a removal effect and decent stats. Its base stats are a bit low for a Synchro8s but since it comes with other effects it should make it fair. Then it is a walking Zombie World. The last effect may look a bit dangerous because it can mill Mezuki and use it to revive itself, and repeat until the deck runs out of Mezukis. But at least the milling effect is slow, and as a Synchro8, standard Level4 Zombies + Plaguespreader decks will have to jump through hoops to Summon it and begin the loop; that or just tech the Malicious engine. Voting for Card B because I think it would have an stronger impact on Zombies than Card A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanael D. Striker Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Can you elaborate more on your reasoning for Card A, please? All I got was "pendulum Zombies are no good" without discussing the card in detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Sure. Pendulums aside, the card is slow and all what it does is recyle Mezuki at best. So, in a way it is yet-another-card-designed-to-abuse-Mezuki, except that it is not as fast/effective at it. Pendulum Summoning Level 4 Zombies along PM Capture looks cute, but maining those 2 just for the sake of a 1-time swarm with Zombie Masters, Mezuki, Goblin Zombies and whatever else you got at hand feels impractical.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Assuming Striker's timezone is still 3 hours ahead of mine (10:31 pm right now; 1/9/2015), I guess I'll declare the end of this match (and the others that were scheduled to end today) Unless Nai or TGM objects, both of them tie at 1-1.

Maeriberii Haan Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Actually, matches that ends in a tie will shift into sudden death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Sage Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Card A bounces off that one Korean-exclusive Zombie, giving it a decent range because many utility Zombies are Level 4. Boost is kind of nice, I guess, it doesn't restrict ED monsters, which is good because there aren't a great amount of Zombies there. The trigger for the monster effect is okay, at least with the decent stats. Restrictive enough to not make stupid Mezuki plays. Card B is kind of stupid. It has a destruction effect restricted to one per field presence, which is kind of meaningless with all the revival Zombies use. Comfortable summoning requirements. Milling effect that triggers off almost anything. A walking Zombie World to boot. Vote for Card A here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 2-1 Card A, thank you for your vote. With Sudden Death being on, then I'll congratulate Kokoro for winning this round~ Congrats, Ain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
