 I vote for Card B.

 

Card A is cute with its Shurit clause and protection from targeting Spell/Traps, but Card B does more for Saffira: It doubles as a Ritual Spell, by summoning Saffira from the grave or deck it makes the Ritual Summon more cost-efficient, and can send a Hymn of Light to the grave, right where you want it after Ritual Summoning Saffira for further protection.

1-0 card B.

 

Personally, I like both of them due to me trying to get new ways of making Sapphy, but since I'm hosting, I can't vote unless someone chooses A and I end up tiebreaking.

Card B wins 1-0, and that means Queen moves on to the semifinal for the loser bracket.

 

To be very honest, I probably would've been torn on voting if I had to.

 

Card A is nice with alleviating Tributes (although that shouldn't be too much of an issue) and some protection, although card B does set up the associated Ritual in the Graveyard or gets it out w/out it.
