No one's voting this time?

I suppose I'll vote, so this doesn't end in a 0-0 thing.

 

----------

Card A allows you to blow up larger monsters without much effort, provided you have Xyz Material left (since this card does use up 1 of them every time it does so). At the most, you get 2 free pops.

Personally, I might've liked it better if it were an optional effect, and the detach was a trigger thing (you detach material; then blow stuff up).

 

You're probably going to trigger it anyway, but at least you have an option of whether you want to kill something, or save your materials for a more pressing threat.

 

Usage-wise, there's BAs for certain (provided they have room for this over Dante and whatever else) and some other Level 3 decks.

 

-----

Card B is an on-summon field pop (provided you have a different Thunder monster out) that negates before killing.

It is helpful for getting around cards that have auto-destruction immunity built into them.

 

Of course, when that happens, you'd get a free summon or card activation (opponent can't do anything about it).

I'm a bit wary on that, considering what sorts of things you can do (make Xyz / Extra Deck / blow up opponent's field or backrow with another card, etc).

 

Usage-wise, probably 'hunders or Batteries; assuming these two aren't out of style and/or have space to run this if needed.

 

---

I guess I'm voting for card A this time.

1-0 Card A

We really need to work on voter turnout in these sorts of contests, Striker.

Having these end with 1 vote isn't exactly appealing.

 

But yeah, whoever's card A gets the win here.
