Card A

[spoiler Lore]Once per turn: You can target 1 Set Spell/Trap Card your opponent controls; reveal that target, then apply the effect depending on that target's card type. That target cannot be activated in response to this effect's activation.
*Spell Card: Shuffle that target into the Deck.
*Trap Card: Return that target to its original position, and your opponent cannot activate that target this turn, also this card gains 1500 ATK until the End Phase.[/spoiler]

 

Card B

[spoiler Lore]Target 1 Set Spell/Trap Card your opponent controls and reveal it. The targeted card cannot be activated in response to this card's activation. If the revealed card was a Spell Card: Inflict 1000 damage to your opponent. If it was a Trap Card: Put 1 random card in your opponent's hand at the bottom of their Deck. You can only activate 1 "Smiter's Broadsword" per turn.[/spoiler]

[OmegaWave]

Count me in.

Accepted.

[-Noel-]

both cards are underwhelming, especially Card B that completely does NOTHING, Card A is too weak, even it has a potential to become a 2k beater and null opponent's Mirror Force for other monsters, but its 500 ATK and not having any sort of protection is the pain in the ass, it's just less evil than another card

 

with that said, even I'm so sorry to do this, I vote Card C

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

Note that all of my opinions on each of these cards is based on their utility against artifacts, as that is where I would want this sort of effect.
Card A can spin/tuck an artifact, which is an effective way to deal with them, so I immediately like this. Hitting theosophy, it slows them down and turns itself into a DDV target, which is relevant if it is a Shadoll variant. Nice job. I enjoy this quite a bit.
Card B, put simply, is weak. Even with soul charge, 1000 damage is not an effect to aim for. The trap effect turns this into a +0, which even then is sketchy since their better cards will already be set. The restriction is unnecessary.
Vote goes to A. Better card all around.

[Trebuchet MS]

1-0 in Card A's favour.

 

1 Card C vote.

[Trebuchet MS]

Bumping for votes.

[Urayne]

Card A seems like a better bet for me.

Card A seems like a better bet for me.

Care to explain your thought processes that result in you voting?

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Card A either bounces the set card to the Deck (Spell) or makes it dead weight for your opponent, and grants itself 2000 total ATK for a turn (Trap). As Giga mentioned, this hurts Artifacts (or whatever elses uses face-down S/T cards for advantage). The 2000 ATK is nice for destroying some monsters for a turn before being open to attack bait.

 

Card B can burn if you hit a Spell, which would be nice against Artifacts (considering they can be set as Spell Cards) or your opponent gets parts of their hand shuffled into the Deck. However, as Giga mentioned, the restriction kills it and even though it shoots down the hand (and possible Mirror Forces), most of their aces will be on the field already. Hitting the hand would work against most other decks though.

 

 

Vote for card A due to better usability (since card B forgot to take off their creator name, we know that card A is Gadjiltron's).

[Trebuchet MS]

2-0 in Card A's favour (unless destinyexodia explains his thought process), 1 Card C vote.

[Therrion]

Card A wins. Black Salvo possibilities, searchibility, and the prohibition of back row are all nice aspects of the card. I imagine even if the effect is negated, since revealing is a cost and not part of the effect, he could try to activate his effect, reveal, and then just not trigger either effect, still showing what the opponent has before you make a Synchro Play (with Salvo).

Card B is something I'm iffy with. Hitting the hand this easily isn't something I think should happen.

[Trebuchet MS]

3-0 in Card A's favour, and that's my win. Thank you for playing.

 

@Therrion, you only target the S/T as part of the pre-resolution actions (see the bit between the colon and semicolon). You don't reveal until it begins resolving.

[Therrion]

Oh, didn't realize reveal it was a bit of the resolution. Hardly matters, really.
