Up to you.

Up to you.

Aight. Leaderboard

[Nathanael D. Striker]

One [Leaderboard] tag in the title, please.

[Yuuji Kazami]

Cards are up.

 

EDIT: I had made a couple mistakes while posting up both cards on my phone B since I couldn't copy and paste for some reason, but I fixed it afterwards. This note came a little late.

Card A should only reduce ATK imo. A monster that is Pendulum Summoned in Attack Position is usually forced into becoming Material, whereas one in Defense Position can be a 0 DEF wall instead, possibly with a useful effect (e.g. Xiangke) that can be used on the current or next turn. This card's existence will make players take more precautions and will encourage more Pendulum Summons in Defense Position, especially if they know their opponent is using this card. So to foster more of that interactivity, and to give this card less potential to be a blowout, I think monsters should keep their DEF when this card is used on them. (My actual opinion of the card is in the last paragraph.)
 
I find it funny that the contest requirements states that the card cannot outright negate the Pendulum Summon, when a hand trap that does so wouldn't be acceptable anyway. And although Card B doesn't negate the Pendulum Summon, it renders it useless for the turn nonetheless, as long as your opponent has to set up their Pendulum Scales. Because it is a hand trap that cannot be removed like other anti-Pendulum Summon Traps, this card is honestly just too much. But that's not all, as this card isn't even exclusively anti-Pendulum and can be used against all Spell/Trap Cards in general. It stops all Continuous-like Spell/Trap Cards, and even makes effects like Tenki's resolve improperly. At this point it's clear that this card does too much, so I wasn't impressed to know that it actually has another effect on top of all of that to Special Summon an 1800-bodied Tuner monster for free. It activates in the End Phase so you can use it freely on your turn after disabling your opponent's Pendulum Summon. It's overkill and I don't even know why you decided to include it when neither Ghost Ogre nor Ghost Reaper have multiple effects.
 
Card A. It is effective in what it does (as mild disruption, characteristic of a hand trap; as a counter to the large amounts of battle damage a Pendulum Summon can produce), but at the same time it is not oppressive because in the situation that monsters are Pendulum Summoned for use for a Summon, this card makes no difference, and regardless, monsters keep their effects and bodies on the field. It discourages mass Pendulum Summons that have no follow-up plays. Card B just does too much and is oppressive.

So if Card B could have only negated the activation of Spell Cards instead of Spell and Trap cards, it would still be oppressive? You probably had the original up with the mistakes while writing the vote.

 

BTW, Ghost Ogre can resolve her effect from both the field or the hand, if you hadn't noticed before.

Yes.

 

Should also note Card B doesn't negate activations.

 

I just looked over some history and I mean it's just Sans 2.0. >.<

 

In response to your edit:

Probs. I wrote it an hour ago.

 

I do know that (you can enable her effect with E-Tele), but why is that relevant?

[Yuuji Kazami]

Yes.

 

Should also note Card B doesn't negate activations.

Mean but funny Terrie, so alright. =3

 

Since I know that you know your stuff, it's completely valid if you feel that way.

 

Also because E-tele is pretty much allowing an Ogre from the Deck Lol, but that's rather irrelevant. =P

[Azuriena]

Mean

Soz. </3

Well that's like having 2 more copies of a less effective Ghost Ogre.

 

Also to whoever made Card B, I think Frost Summoner should discard instead of send imo. :3

You little adorable rep whore imo. =3

 

But the mistakes should've been fixed before first vote imo, so might as well as leave it imo.

[Yuuji Kazami]

Bump.

[ÆƵ–]

I think I'll go with Card B here.

 

Card A drains anything and everything that is pend summoned, even the ones not p summed on that turn. However, most pend decks not named metalfoe like to xyz, making this card sadly a lil pointless.

 

Card B however stops pends in their tracks by cutting off a scale for the turn. Not only that, it turns into a +1 by ep because of the neato self summoning.

[towitori]

1-1

Elaborate on this vote please. Namely possible Decks it could be used in.

[ÆƵ–]

It seems to me that it could be a decent card in any deck a la effect veiler, being especially good in chaos p1per, or any chaos deck for that matter.

 

Card B seems like it would work best in a lvl 3 deck such as pk fire, r3nk rocks, etc, but also synchro decks because of its tuner status and self summoning.

 

My vote for B still stands.

[Abdelrahman]

Card A:

Reduces the ATK and DEF of Pendulum Summoned monsters your opponent controls after he Pendulum Summons to 0. I don't see how useful this is considering Xyz Monsters are a thing I mean this is basically to force your opponent into using his Pendulum Summoned monsters for an Xyz Summon so it isn't very useful imo.

 

Card B:

A Level 3 Tuner with 1800 DEF that destroys a Spell Card after activation and renders the zone of the destroyed Spell useless for the rest of the turn and then Special Summons itself. This card does too much imo, It destroys a Spell Card and renders the zone useless for the rest of the turn and Special Summons itself, this card's effect needs to be limited to Pendulum Monsters to make it balanced.

 

I honestly don't think either card is good as one is op and another one is not very useful so I will vote for Card C.

[Nathanael D. Striker]

It is now 1-1-1 assuming no objections.

If that is the case, this 1v1 is a tie.

[Yuuji Kazami]

I have no objections even though I was going to reject Abdel's vote. It would've ended up in the same result.
