[Northern Sage]

Rules:

All YCM, 1v1 and Leaderboard rules apply. (No flaming, no spamming, no inappropriate content, etc)

First to 3 votes or most votes by the deadline wins. First vote decides in case of a stalemate.

All voters must elaborate on their votes, else the vote will be rejected.

Both contestants are allowed to reject votes, but must provide appropriate reasoning for doing so while making sure anonymity isn't breached.

Card C votes are allowed if a voter doesn't think either card deserves their vote.

Cards must be PM'd to me.

The winner gets a like from the loser, and voters also get likes.

Deadlines:

Cards are due 48 hours after a challenge has been accepted.

Voting ends 96 hours after starting.

Requirement:

Reimagine a card from another card game as a Yu-Gi-Oh! card. Faithfulness is up to one's own discretion.

 

Card A:

 

 

During your Standby Phase, if this card is in your hand: You can reveal this card and 1 DARK, LIGHT or WATER monster in your hand until the End Phase; gain 2000 LP. Once per turn, during the Standby Phase: Gain 2000 LP. If you gain LP: You can discard 1 card, and if you do, draw 1 card, also your opponent loses 500 LP. While you have more LP than your opponent, this card cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects.

Card B:

 

Cannot be Special Summoned. Requires 1 less Tribute to Normal Summon for each monster you control. If this card attacks a defense position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent.

Card A:

Gaining 2000 LP just for revealing this and a DARK/LIGHT/WATER seems too much to me, although I'm not sure if you have to keep them revealed until the End Phase to gain the LP, in which case it would be more acceptable since that means you can't play either card if you want the LP gain. The other effects seem fine to me. But the main issue is Summoning the monster, as it is a Level8 with no kind of self-Summoning effect nor condition. Still, with enough deck dedication, one can get it on board with relative ease. Summon Sorceress and good old "get it in the GY then revive it" come to mind.

 

Card B:

Not a fan of its design. Level 12 with 4000/4000 make it look exaggerated, and even unrealistic IMO. And yet the effect isn't really impressive. The piercing it's effective on a 4000-ATK monster for sure, but it's still bland when that's all it does.

 

 

Voting for Card A because IMO it is more realistic.

Card A

 

The LP gain is fine, though it requires specific set up to do so, and like Darj mentioned, it lacks an internal summon condition to get it out (yes, you can still field 2 monsters and then Tribute Summon this, but...) The other two work well enough for what it's worth, though they're dependent on you gaining LP and maintaining a higher value. 

 

Hard to find a viable Deck for it that can afford this, but if you get it out, then it does stuff to make up for the effort.

 

Card B

 

Taking into consideration how spammy Dinos are nowadays (recall they topped last year's Worlds), yeah, this does amount to a freely summonable 4K NSable monster that can pierce (either straight off or just requiring a Tribute). Unless Konami changed the rule on things, anything Level 7+ just needs 2 Tributes (not 3 like certain games claim; though any Level 11+ Main Deck are usually Nomis so this thing never came into play).

 

But yeah, it just pierces stuff on a 4K body and depending on setup, you're probably getting this out for free (assuming you don't mind using your NS).

Voting A as well.

It's been 6 days, so...contest should've ended on Wednesday/Thursday. 

 

Sage, Dova; any of you have objections to the votes given, or you're fine with it and this can be ended?

[Dova]

No objections here.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Since both of you are fine with the results, yeah, card A wins 2-0. 

 

Make sure one of you reports this if you want it to count, but you both know that already.
