~Red~ Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Card A provides needed support for Spirit Monsters, opening up more Xyz opportunities for the archetype as well as becoming both a recycler and searcher for them. Card B is quite creative, definitely taking a different spin on the Spirit Monsters. I am not so sure the effect will work as intended though, by the wording. It should probably say something along the lines of 'When this card is Normal Summoned: You can target 1 banished monster that was banished by this card's effect and Special Summon it to your side of the field'. At least that is how I am interpreting it. I can see this being abused with its banishing ability more than actually gaining control of an opponent's monster. The gaining control of the opponent's monster is kinda slow, when compared to things like Mind Control and Creature Swap. The switch of control is also permanent, which is nice. This is kind of a difficult vote. Card A provides some much needed support, and while creative, it is not nearly as creative as Card B. I vote for Card A, because it makes Spirit Decks more consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therrion Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Card A: My God, I love this card. It reminds me of the newest Evilswarm/Constellar cards in the obvious way (recycle+Double Summon), and Photon Lizard in the search way. A very balanced card with playability in Spirit decks at a must. It's stats are nothing to disappoint, either, for 1700 is a very decent ATK with such an effect. This card's Attribute also helps balance the DARK to LIGHT Spirit ratio for all those Chaos Lovers/Utilizers out there. Nothing really else to say about the card. It's great. Card B: Though it can only be used once, a free banish effect such as this is overpowered, and the fact that you can Goyo Guardian (sort of) it onto your field just for Normal Summoning twice is rather OP. Also, it's not really creative, or contribute to Spirit decks as a whole but moreso as a Spirit that would just be used in Decks due to its standalone strength. Overall, the card is lackluster in creativity and a little too strong of an effect for my liking. My vote is for Card A, in terms of playibility while maintaining a balance and creativity.

Silent Luminus Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I actually like both cards very much, so it's just a matter of balance. Card A is solid, but I personally think it creates too much advantage - not that it necessarily breaks Spirits in general, but just the idea of continuously plussing makes it questionable. Card B may seem strong at first glance, but it's actually slow enough to justify its effect. It banishes when it returns to the hand - then SSs it when it's Normal Summoned again. Then it no longer returns to the hand, leaving it quite vulnerable. Therefore, it's one-time use. Also, it's more creative. Card B it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gawayn Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Like Luminus, I am fond of both cards. I find that they are both helpful in their own way. Spirit Walker adds support to Spirit Decks in general, but Card B makes for some possible shenanigans and whatnot in other decks. However, Card A's support for Spirits is just what they needed and it is why my vote is going to be cast there. The OCG for Card B isn't that great either, and while I would like to think that it doesn't influence my vote, I'm sure subconsciously it probably does. My vote goes to Card A. And since this is the last vote, let me make a suggestion. @Sora: When entering cards in a 1v1 that uses Card A and Card B system, you might want to remove your name from the card...

Thanks for voting! Gg, Sora. Personally, I thought your card was definitely more creative and original than mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
