Card A is limited by the amount of viable Decks that can run Rank 1s effectively.

I suppose you can run this in Skull Servants or something, although returning cards to the Deck will strip away at King's ATK power (although it does allow for revival later on, if this card goes).

 

If there were more Level 1 Decks that were actually consistent, this card would have some usage; but as-is, not so much.

 

There are some Decks that have Level 1s in their builds, but they do not have the space to be making Rank 1s.

 

You can run this in Ghostricks or something, but that's about it.

I guess Morphtronics also have some use for this card to an extent, however I don't know on that.

 

-----

Card B is literally a stronger version of Emeral, but it's a CXyz so what do you think it'd be?

To be more precise, it's 400 ATK/DEF stronger, and everything else is increased by 1 (Rank and the amount of monsters that get affected here).

 

However, I do have to mention that Barian's Force won't work on it, given Emeral is a Rock and this is a Winged-Beast.

Anime version would work here, but RL one doesn't.

 

Only way you're getting this out is via Admire Des Thousand, and that requires Emeral to be dead.

 

I'm not really a fan of this being nothing more than having buffed Emeral effects, but again you can't really summon this outside of Admire.

 

-----

Card A has a unique effect, but due to lack of viable Decks this can be used in, it doesn't really have a lot of places to shine.

However, there are still some Decks this can be played in; although compatibility issues are one thing.

 

Card B is pretty much unusable outside of Admire Des Thousand + offers nothing more than buffed Emeral effects.

I know Emeral is used a lot in certain Decks, but I don't think people will tech Barian's Force just for this card (when there are other options)

 

If you had remembered Emeral's original Type, this card would be easier to use.

 

-----

To be honest, both cards don't really stand out.

Card C gets it.

 

If there were more Decks that utilized Level 1s, I would've given A the vote here.

 

(Konami, make a Level 1 Archetype, k)

I had forgotten about that for a while, but yes it should be enough to sway my vote.

(Not sure if it's still in style however. I was going to mention Yusei,dek or something)

 

So yeah, card A gets it.

To be fair, I was going to give A my vote because it at least has some usage as opposed to B.

 

(Believe I voted on C initially because the argument of only a select few Decks at the time of voting wasn't compelling enough to sway vote towards A)

Card A has Piper Chaos written all over it. Recycle Pipers, recycle Kinka Byos, summon Pipers, draw cards, etc. Fabulous and well deserved of said Deck. I don't see it being used in other Rank 1 Decks, but it works so well in Piper Chaos that it might just be fine on its own.

 

Card B would be useless........ Had Limited Barian's Force not been around. However, it does become much less consistent being a Winged Beast. The effect is nice and all, but I feel they dun goofed a bit and were kinda lazy if I would be quite honest. It's just a bigger version of Emeral that requires a lot more cards

 

In short, Card A takes it by a landslide for thinking it through and really nailing it in the head

Okay then, 1-0 Striker.

 

For the record, I'd still would have objected if Forest Fire had made Card A. Piper screams Level 1 after all. o.o

Tbqh that is one of your better if not the best designed card I have seen from you. Really puts in a lot of work and actually does something notable, unlike most other R1 options. I really like that with it and hence the quick vote
