The requirement is to make a non-Sylvan monster with an effect involving excavating.

 

Card A:

 

Once per turn, when this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard: You can excavate the top card of your opponent's Deck, and if it is a monster, send it to the Graveyard, then this card can attack once again in a row. Otherwise, add it to your opponent's hand. When this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard: Excavate the top 3 cards of your Deck, send any revealed DARK monsters to the Graveyard, then shuffle the rest back into your Deck.

Card B:

 

When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: Excavate the top 3 cards of your deck, and if any monsters with a Level lower than this card's are excavated: Send them to the Graveyard, and if you do: All monster you control gain Level(s) equal to the card with the highest level sent to the Graveyard by this effect. The rest of the cards are then shuffled into the deck. You can only activate the effect of "Wonder Trader" once per turn.

Card A:

A stronger but slower Armaggedon Knight who can be an effective beater with the double-attack effect, and whose milling/excavating effect on your Deck has a chance of missing, or you can be lucky and mill 2~3 DARKs; but the first effect is really bad: excavating is pretty much considered a positive effect nowadays, so you will most likely end up losing regardless of what you excavate from the opponent's deck. Really, this effect helps more the opponent than you. I guess could still use this without attacking for a 1950 pseudo-wall, but if my goal is to excavate a DARK, I might as well run Armaggedon instead, plus the opponent would be able to ram its own monster and get a monster mill or a S/T.

 

Card B:

A Level manipulator that sends Level Eater, Quillbolt and other low-Level monsters to the grave, where they want to be. Being able to activate its effect when it is Special Summoned is nice, and I doubt it will be abused because of the OPT clause at the end.

 

I vote for card B for its faster excavating effect than Card A, and not having an effect that helps the opponent.

Card A: Has the possibility to attack again (but risks adding a key card to the opponent's hand), possible set-up for Dark Armed (if he's still run nowadays) and a 1950 ATK.

 

Card B: Possibility to increase the Levels of monsters you control (helping to summon higher Rank Xyz or in certain cases, Synchro Summon if there are suitable monsters). Also good for dumping Quillbolt and any other monsters that rely on the Graveyard (i.e. Maxx C, Glow-Up [even though it's banned] and other stuff)

 

 

With that said, my vote goes to card B as well. Because of its OPT clause, people won't be able to abuse it to make high Level monsters for Synchro/Xyz spam and can excavate quicker. It also doesn't give the opponent any benefits like with card A. Like Voltex mentioned, the double attacking effect is good but you risk helping your opponent by adding a key card to their hand [should you miss] or set up their Graveyard for something else [i.e. use this against a LS deck, the possibility of them having the requirements to summon JD]

Card A is a 1950 double-attacker, not bad in that point but it's too risk (and the reward for opponent in case you miss it is so big), the 2nd eff is better, but again, it's so much rely on lucksacky, Card B is a nice setup for a Synchro Deck that has many monsters rely on Graveyard (e.g. Level Eater and Quilibolt) and it's very nice if you luckily milled them, its Level will increase at least 1 so that eater can revive itself. also when compare in term of Excavating, even Card A has 2 eff involving that, but they're both slower than Card B's

 

with that, my vote also go to Card B, Card A is helping your opponent so much in its first eff that can only hope on 1/3 chance to be a double-attacker, and with that slow Excavating, it's too hard and risky to use

Unless Dyson Sphere has something to object to, that's 3-0, my win.
