bump

Let's see:

 

Card A

 

Until Blaster gets himself unbanned, only ways you're making this are: Doctor + Archer and Launcher + 3 Planter, and the former is the less convoluted route. As such, you're really only getting to blow up 1 card on the field (and that's if you can return Doctor/Planter or whatever you use to summon this). Granted, it can set up for when it gets blown up but that's about it. Also stats are out of line concerning the baseline for them, however it is extremely specific in how you summon it, so...

 

Card B

 

Generic enough to work with either combination of the Tuners + non-Tuner (Planter + Archer, or Doctor + Launcher), which helps its case. Also another way to recur Generation Fish for further plays, and yeah, ditch stuff to be revived later for laddering (if necessary).

 

====

Voting for B in this case.

It's generic enough to work in Decks that can afford it, and extends plays for Gen Fishes.

 

A requires other Archetype/series members in which only one combo is actually viable, and that cuts into its usability.

Works for me

Well, Superancient Deapsea King Coelacanth is a thing, and Card B's effect doesn't really fit Fishborg, since no Fishborg monsters specifically have Fish/Aqua/Sea Serpent in their card text. Card B is also generic, which doesn't fit Fishborgs' theme of only supporting WATER stuff.

 

but theme < usability anyway so idk

bump and clarifying that i accept the vote

 

1-0 in Card B's favor.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Uh yeah, this should've ended long ago. Unless any of you has objections, B wins 1-0.

 

Make sure this gets noted in the Leaderboard thread if you want it to count on record (if you didn't already report this a while back).
