Deadline was up about a day ago, which means that this contest goes into Sudden Death. Patiently waiting for the vote.....

Card A is pretty much only going to be summoned via double Graphas at the moment, though I'm not sure how often they can field that nowadays. For what it's worth, card has respectable stats, protection from targeting removal (which is still prevalent for the most part) and lets you revive dead Archetypal bosses [probably another Grapha that you detached, then trigger something else], plus search power. I probably said this in a previous contest involving a Dark World Xyz; unless Dark Worlds get more monsters of a certain Level, the Xyz bosses will be difficult to make. Right now, card is restricted to only Grapha as a viable mat (unless external support is used on the other stuff to make them viable), but I don't see the latter happening. This card is good, but not seeing this being used much (or really, how often can Dark Worlds Rank 8?)

 

Card B is a 1-Tribute beatstick that can't be SS'd. Flavor-wise, it is rather awkward to see a Zombie that CAN'T be revived or SS'd, but its high ATK for a Level 6 is probably a reason, coupled with piercing and free summoning. As it stands, I suppose the halving direct damage thing is acceptable to compensate for this card's large ATK value and SS power thereof, Part of me doesn't exactly agree with this giving access to Special Summoning any monster you want from the Deck within the damage amount. In most cases, I don't think it'd be too much.

 

---

Card A: Searcher/combo enabler for Dark Worlds that gets targeting immunity if it has mats on.

Card B: High power beater that can freely SS a monster equal to inflicted damage, but loses power if it direct attacks and must be Tribute Summoned.

---

 

To be really honest, I didn't feel swayed by either of the cards, but I suppose I'll give it to A because it at least helps Dark Worlds go into plays, despite the limited ways they can even Rank 8 from my knowledge (as I mentioned earlier, it is a good card, but they just don't have the means of summoning it much). B is basically a high power piercer that generates monsters; looking at common Decks, not sure what can feasibly use it.

1-0 to Card A, unless Tori has any final objections.
