Card A

 

Hydroxide Dragon

R4/WATER/Dragon

2 Level 4 Dinosaur-Type Monsters

If this card is Xyz Summoned while it has "Hydrogeddon" as an Xyz Material, its ATK becomes 2800 and its DEF becomes 2600. While this card has "Oxygeddon" as an Xyz Material, the ATK of FIRE monsters and Pyro-Type monsters become 0. You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target up to 2 Dinosaur-Type monsters in your Graveyard with different attributes; return those targets to the hand, then you can shuffle 1 monster with the same attribute of each returned monster into the Deck. You can only activate this effect of "Hyrdroxide Dragon" once per turn.

 

2500/2000

 

Card B

 

 

1 DARK Dragon-Type monster + 1 LIGHT Warrior-Type monster

Must first be Special Summoned (from your Extra Deck) by banishing the above cards from your Graveyard. (You do not use "Polymerization".) Cannot be banished, except by its own effect. This card can attack monsters up to 4 times each Battle Phase. If it does so using this effect, during each Battle Phase, apply the appropriate effect, based on the number of attacks this card has declared during that Battle Phase.

-2 or more: At the end of the Battle Phase, change this card to Defense Position.

-3 or more: Any further Battle Damage your opponent takes from battles involving this card is halved.

-4 or more: After Damage Calculation, banish this card. This effect cannot be negated.

 

--------

Before anyone asks, the theme for this round was indeed to make a WATER Dragon Xyz monster (as shown from L2-1). 

Card B doesn't match the original requirements, yes, however, due to extenuating circumstances, I am going to waive the requirement and just treat it as a freestyle theme.

Anyway, go ahead and vote.

(It's either this, or we get another forced withdraw match.)

Card A directly supports the Chemical theme. 2 Hydrogeddon might not be too hard to pull off, but it still relies on two unsearchable cards while having the same summoning requirements as Laggia. Truthfully, it has some great support ideas, like the recycling effect that can be very potent. It's a better take on Water Dragon that does the boss monster approach better.

Card B is so much worse. I mean, you can throw it out on a whim rather than needing it on the field, but the card itself is just not worth it. It's a beater that works with your opponent having a big field presence, situational enough already, but it actively punishes you for using this effect. This while doing so being the only reason you'd want to Summon it. Meh.

 

Vote for A.

1-0 card A.

Thanks for voting.

[Nathanael D. Striker]

While I'm not running this tournament, I can still close matches when deadlines expire. With that said, Card A wins 1-0.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

If I had internet access on netbook while riding bus home from college, I'd end it myself.

But yes, card A wins 1-0 and in this case, Queen got her redemption.

 

Now she and Gadjiltron will face off in Round 3.

 

(It was either end it at 1 pm or AM today)
