So Darkrai vs Reshiram, then?

Only two 'mons that make sense in this context, given names.

 

Anyway...

 

Card A is another toy for BAs to make (despite the usual stuff surrounding the "blow self up if someone else is here"), or use another DARK Xyz as its material.

IDK, maybe Ghostrick can use this as a side option besides Alucard or something. Looking at them again, they might be a better option for using this card, given their gimmick and all.

 

(Mentioning BAs/Ghostrick, because they're able to make this card at present, given the conditions)

 

It's also a Book of Moon with a discard/detach cost; to be honest, I think that it could get away with it just detaching a material, UNLESS the creator of A wanted this to trigger BAs or some other stuff that triggers on discard. The burn effect represents Bad Dreams, which fits in this context (face-downs = "sleep status"), and certainly can be a pain to deal with.

 

Going into its alternate Xyz method, trying to think of a situation where you would want to do that, outside of reusing old Xyz Monsters that have no mats or something along those lines. (You can also overlay another copy of this card as well)

 

----

Card B is a generic Level 7 Synchro that gains power when it attacks something (Fusion Flare much?), but it allows you to get more draws and set up the Graveyard if it kills (which is likely in most cases). Hopefully you know that the 7 pool is indeed rather crowded, especially with the presence of Clear Wing, Yazi, Black Rose and some other stuff.

 

I'm going to say that the above listed still have better effects that warrant them for a 7 slot, but that's not to say that this one isn't at least worth a shot.

It can certainly tie with Yazi in terms of raw power, and drawing helps.

 

----

So, in conclusion...

 

Card A reflects Darkrai's ability well, but I really think the BoM-esque effect could lose the discard. Again, I don't know if card A intended to trigger the listed Decks with that, but yeah that's how I feel on it. The burn can be used as a side measure against opposing 'dolls and whatever Deck likes setting face-downs and can push for game, but otherwise I'm a bit iffy on how much it'll be used.

 

While I am a little bit iffy on its ability lore, card B helps to run over certain monsters + get new draws.

It's competing with other viable Level 7s for a spot, but it does its job well enough, despite focusing more on power tactics.

 

 

So yeah, card B gets my vote here. 

I liked A as well, though.
