Card A banishes a card in the Graveyard if you Tribute Summon and for whatever reason, banishes itself if it deals damage on its summoning turn. To be fair, I really don't know why it even has this condition. I suppose it's to counteract the fact that it is a free SS, but I feel that it would be fine without this forced self-destruct (though you'll probably be making ED with this or something). Conversely, you don't have to attack that turn and you won't get blown up. The banish on Tribute Summon is fine though, but aside from Monarchs/Qli or whatever else, what Decks actually WANT to Tribute Summon nowadays? But otherwise, I suppose this would be a bridge for Synchro 8s or something.

 

Card B requires that you run different Attributes in order to do anything and can't attack or be ED material (you can still Ritual/Tribute or something, but yeah). Granted, you can play this in monotone Attribute decks, but then you're only getting immunity to that Attribute. Suppose DARK decks could use this to block stuff like Destroyer or something, but it doesn't sound like a viable option to me. If you can get another monster to wall stuff, great. Generic ED does exist for banish fodder if you want to go there, so guess that's how you're going to maximize this card's protection. The attack clause probably kills it a bit (either you keep a wall to protect this card, or you forego battle immunity for an attack). Effect immunity is nice, but it's still getting run over in battle (that, and it does nothing against other Decks which use other Attributes). I'm going to assume it needs to be SS'd from the hand (as standard). 

 

-----

Both cards have flaws that prevent me from outright giving them the vote.

 

A can be used as quick Synchro fodder or something, or if you bother to Tribute Summon, banish something in the Graveyard. If it hit another card too, I might've voted for this one. It's fine as-is, but as already mentioned, I can't really see a Deck that is going to use their Tribute Summon to get rid of a monster in the Graveyard. I think there's another card or two that can already do this for less effort, but I don't remember. 

 

B's effect immunity is nice, especially against certain Decks (though in other cases, you're going to have to banish common ED monsters to get the coverage OR just get a 2K wall that can't really do much). At best, it's just a wall or Tribute fodder.

 

 

Right now, I'm going to vote card C as none of them swayed me enough to vote in their favor. If I have to choose though in the end, probably A since it can still be used for ED summons and all. 

[Dova]

Vote accepted by me.

 

0-0-1 to C.

[Dova]

Bump

[Thar]

Not even one actual vote? Dang.

[Dova]

Alright, Sakura, do you choose Card A?

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Might as well, although the C vote would still end it otherwise (despite taking longer). 

[Dova]

Aight, 1-0 A.

 

Well done, Thar.
