Card A

If your opponent attacks you directly: you can Special Summon this card from your Pendulum card zone.

 

Card B

Pendulum Effect: You can only Pendulum Summon Zombie-type monsters. You can discard 1 Zombie-type monster from your hand, and if you do; This card's Scales become 0, until the End Phase. During either player's turn, if a Zombie-type monster you control would be destroyed by your opponent (by battle or card effect): You can send 1 Zombie-type monster from your deck to the Graveyard instead. You can only activate this effect of "Skull Commute" once per turn.

Lore: "Underworld, end station! Do not leave anything behind!"

Card A allows you to SS it from the P-Zone if directly attacked. In a way, it's similar to that of Battle Fader and stuff in terms of application, but less potent as it just comes out as a wall.

Stat-wise, it's about the same as some of those old Vanillas back in the day. As things stand now, other common Level 4s run it over.

 

Card B can become a Scale 0 for a turn; tbh, I can see you using it to P-Summon Skull Servants or something, but otherwise it's likely not needed.

Then, it can act like a Foolish Burial of sorts for Zombies in place of one of them getting killed by things. By extension, this can help dump more Skulls into the Graveyard in Servants OR get Mezuki/things.

 

There's a few things you can do with this card, and it certainly supports Zombies as a whole.

Card A is basically generic, but getting another shot at protection from a direct attack is helpful.

 

------

Overall, I think my vote goes to B due to it having a specific purpose and helping out certain Decks as a whole.

A isn't bad, but it's essentially a one-trick thing for the most part.
