3000/2500
Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must first be Special Summoned by sending 1 face-up "Ghostrick" Xyz monster and 2 face-down cards you control to the graveyard. If you control a face-down monster, your opponent cannot activate their Set Spell/Trap Cards or Flip Summon. Once per turn, during either player's turn: You can send 1 other "Ghostrick" card you control or in your hand to the Graveyard to target 1 card on the field; flip it face-down.

Card B's design choice is an example of a bit of a pet peeve for me; namely, shoehorning a card into a deck without taking the actual functions of the deck into consideration. It fails as a boss monster because of an unwieldy typing and particularly difficult summoning conditions.

Card A has somewhat more going for it, being generic and all.

 

Vote for Card A.

[Trebuchet MS]

Score is 1-0 in Card A's favour.

I have to agree with what Thunderclap said, that card B seems very unrealistic, and goes against the whole theme of the ghostrick deck (cute, surprisingly good low level monsters). As for the effect, not be overly negative, but I also don't like it; it is another unrealistic card design feature to make a card (at least nowadays) so hard to summon, but then have it balanced by having really powerful effects. Giving it an easy 4000 ATK to attack directly with Mansion?! what?

 

card A: This seems much more a boss in a ghostrick deck; it helps and works well with them, but isn't part of the archetype, so it isn't weird that it doesn't flip or that has big ATK. It may even be too good in ghostrick monarchs/tributes, but it does help ghostricks a lot without being unrealistic.

 

As you can probably tell, my vote also goes to Card A.

I agreed with other votes, Card B is bad, or at least who made it seems to have no experience on Ghostrick. Card A seems to fit the Ghostrick deck more than Card B even not the part of archetype, as it require Tributes which not so hard to set up for Ghostrick, at least easier than try to Xyz and waste another 2 monsters or S/T for it, I vote Card A

[Trebuchet MS]

Card A wins 3-0. My victory.

Thank you for playing.
