So I've seen both of these cards used here and there. They're relatively the same in terms of effect, but is either of them just better than the other?

 

'Course, depending on the deck, you could run both, but that's not what we're talking about here.

 

Is Gozen or Rivalry the better card?

 

Discuss.

In a vacuum, Rivalry is superior because there are 24 different types, while there are but 6 attributes. Statistically, you're much more likely to cause damage to your opponent's plays if you're limiting them to 1/24 than 1/6, because its more likely they have a larger selection of types than attributes in their deck.

 

In practice, it's generally going to depend on the meta, and even then, the matchup. Rivalry will hurt Blurry-Eyes much more than Gozen, but Gozen would affect HEROs more than Rivalry would, and either/or would rek Monarchs and DracoPals.

I once played a Deck that ran both of the cards in the OP, along with Mystic Plazma Zone and Solidarity.

It was actually pretty cute because 9 times out of 10 you'd completely shut down the opponent's entire Extra Deck and about a 1/3 of there Main Deck.

 

'Course, this was back when Heavy Storm was Limited, so you can imagine how well that went over.
