Requirements:

[spoiler=Card A]SPYRAL Impersonator

DARK / Warrior / Level 1

ATK: 0 / DEF: 1500

You can discard this card, then target 1 "SPYRAL" monster you control; send 1 "SPYRAL" monster from your Deck to your hand, except "SPYRAL Impersonator", and if you do, the targeted monster's name becomes "SPYRAL Super Agent' while it's on the field. You can only use this effect of "SPYRAL Impersonator" once per turn.

 

 

[spoiler=Card B]Ash Moon & Summer Lily

WATER / Psychic / Tuner / Level 3

ATK: 0 / DEF: 1800

If exactly 1 card in the GY is banished, returned to the hand, or Special Summoned to the field (Quick Effect): You can send this card from your hand or field to the GY; until the end of the next turn, the name of all cards (anywhere) with that card's original name becomes "Ash Moon and Summer Lily", each player must pay 900 LP to activate the effects of cards with that name, also other cards cannot be destroyed by cards with that original name (by battle or card effect). You can only use this effect of "Ash Moon and Summer Lily" once per turn.

I'm in, really raring for a rematch-and this time, let's have it be for a monster whose effect includes changing the name of another monster on the field.

[Abdelrahman]

Ohh, I see you're seeking revenge here lol. Sure, I accept.

[Abdelrahman]

Sorry, but I was busy, so deadline will be extended by 1 day.

[Abdelrahman]

Cards are up. Let the voting start!

[Abdelrahman]

Bump.

There is a mistake with Card A: it says it sends 1 SPYRAL monster from the Deck to to hand, and, well, you don't send cards to the hand.

Anyway, even assuming it sends it to the GY I vote for Card B:

 

Card B:

Follows the theme of the Ghost girl Tuners as a splashable hand Trap. It may not look as good as Snow Rabbit or Ash Blossom because it doesn't destroy the monster nor negates the effect, but surely this card will have its niches or meta-calls where it will shine, especially due to the name-changing effect. For instance, against decks that rely entirely on having a specific monster and its name in the field or GY.

 

Card A:

There are only 2 outcomes I see for this card:

1. Either it strengthen SPYRALs, which is not a fair thing to do because SPYRALs are hella strong now with Double Helix, and thus don't need nor IMO deserve, more support, at least until their problem cards are dealt with.

2. SPYRALs don't need this at all, since Double Helix already doubles as Super Agent so there is little to no need for the name-changing effect.

In either case, things don't look good for Card A.

[Abdelrahman]

Fair enough. 0-1 to Card B.

[Abdelrahman]

Challenge has ended, Card B (D'Sceptyr) wins. Well done.

[Black D'Sceptyr]

Thanks mate.
