Card A is amusing. It opens up plays in Generation Fish while also taking out potential threats. While I would have much preferred it to be non-generic, I don't see it particularly being an issue for many reasons. It will be subpar in BA, and other R3 Decks just won't be able to cut its use, so it stays clicked to the Fish. As a result, I think I can dig it.

 

Card B is kinda underwhelming and at the same time feels unsettling. Underwhelming because the detach effect is kinda meh and a 28 beater R7 is really underwhelming. The second effect though is rather concerning because it can revive anything. The fact that it floats in such way is fine, but going into any monster feels like it could open up some stuff in the future, especially since it triggers by your own effects. It happened with Lavalval Chain and Daigusto Emeral, I feel like it could happen to this guy.

 

While Card A feels like it will stay as it is, Card B looks like in the future can be concerning. Vote goes to Card A.

OK then, 1-0 A.

Thanks for voting.

It has, Striker.

And frankly speaking, you won this one.
