Progenitor Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Card A A bit unoriginal, but the reworked effect for Zombies makes this thing potentially ridiculous. Of course you zombies actually have to survive until your turn in order to fully utilize this card, and so the rapid summoning is balanced out by how slow it is. Making a deck to abuse this would be like trying to make a deck to abuse Mathematician's 2nd effect, pretty much impossible since the activation, in most cases, is completely governed by your opponent. However you can still crash with this, and that is where I get a bit worried, but since you have to potentially waste your battle phase just to set up a combo, I don't see that scenario as that much of an issue. Card B This card is cool. I currently run a Dragonecro / Dragocytus Turbo deck, and while I don't use Book of Life in it, the 2nd effect is amazing, and maybe a bit too amazing. Perhaps if it had something to slow down you special summons that turn (as Ghost Charon and Isolde do), I wouldn't be as worried. It's an unfounded concern though, as no combos that aren't already possible come to mind. While both of these cards are cool, I'm gonna have to go with Card B. I just find Card A to be a bit too slow for how Zombies are starting to become, and while it is still a great card, given the choice Card B gives you a free Revival by simultaneously searching and recycling Book of Life without eating your battle phase, whilst also giving a more or less free Dragonecro, which in a particularly tight situation where you may or may not be topdecking is extremely useful.

Maeriberii Haan Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hmm, this one is hard... Card A is a quite amazing Zombie World support, actually. You'll ram it into stuffs more often than not, which is pretty nice. Card B..just realized that it's a spellcaster. That'd make it somewhat awkward, but searchable Book of Life is nice. The fact that it's a walking Dragon's Mirror for Draconecro sounds absolutely wonderful. Though, I'll pick Card A. There's nifty tricks that it can do, and it supports Zombie World nicely.

-Noel- Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Yes, contestants can bump. Should have put that in the rules when I made them... With that said, bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Card A: Basically a Zombie version of "Box of Friends". I find funny how I had to read the effect to notice the reference. Anyways, the effect looks fair but the trigger slow: Not only the "destroy by battle" trigger is slow and unreliable nowadays, but also its 2000 DEF may get in its way as it won't be killable by the standard Level4 monster. Ain suggested to ram this, but attacking with 0 ATK will definitely hurt. Card B: Not a fan of the way this card searches the Zombie-Type reborn, although the discard helps with making it a bit more fair (except when you discard a Mezuki or a Zombie that wants to be in the grave). Supporting Nethersoul Dragon feels a bit random but its not really an issue, plus the card is packed with flavor considering her name and the dragon shown in the artwork. Both cards look fine but I guess I will vote for Card B because it appears to be more practical, despite its Type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VampireofDarkness Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Card A: I thought I was gonna love it until I read "When this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard:". Not quite as reliable anymore, and with 2000 DEF usually by then you won't have a ton of options to keep it alive with when they can get around that easily, which hurts because otherwise this card would have A LOT of potential. Then again, maybe it would be too good, considering the options, and especially that Dragocytus is on the list of cards to bring back. (Though to be fair, if you pull that off in Zombies, you kinda should get to bring him back) However, I would still consider it to be good Card B: Now this is Non-Zombie Zombie Support Zombies would like. Zombies have been trying to use 2 cards for a while: Book of Life, and Dragonecro Nethersoul Dragon. Assuming the room is there, this can be teched in as a 1 of and have access to either. While it is ideal to discard Mezuki, that isn't exactly a good hand considering how with Unizombie and the Chain loop you can pitch em all from the Deck. The Dragon's Mirror built in also allows you to set up at anytime, which in particular can be useful if you get your field swiped in the middle of the Oni Loop and you can just banish 3 and save your field presence from getting smushed by a Warning or a Torrential. While both cards are good, and we have 2 great card designers up against each other, I would have to go with Card B. It's a solid tech that could give you either more offensive power, or a solid backup plan when said Zombie player loses their field presence, the latter which Zombies sometimes really need in this day and age.
