I might as well vote so both of you at least have SOMETHING to record for Leaderboard, as opposed to making these for nothing. Although, one of you forgot to remove the creator identity, so we technically know who made what.

Set A

 

I guess the color makes sense to some extent, even though the actual composition of magenta is more than simply "combining" blue and red. But to be fair, not really seeing how this card would fit into the current Super Quantum playstyle; least in the early game anyway. It does have its uses if you can get both of those cards on the field or in hand, so you can trigger this card + those two to recycle + search multiple things, but yeah. (At least it retained the capacities of both). I guess this would also be helpful in reviving dead Magnus or something w/out the effect lock. I don't know, the card sounds good on paper, but just not seeing how well the Layer would fit into a typical SQ deck; least from my test runs. 

 

Xyz isn't bad, but it's basically a higher Rank version of Magnaliger or Granpulse if you use it as a generic Rank 8 (and there are much better generic options for those Decks). Yeah, you get to blow up two cards if you have Magenta Layer, but as I mentioned earlier, not sure how often you'll be able to do this feasibly.

 

Set B

 

Black Layer's first effect will only trigger off of Green's effect when it goes to the Graveyard, but in a way, at least you get a free summon off of it in addition to a draw. Stat booster is fine; suppose it'll let your other monsters run over stuff that they normally can't, or wall if you need to. Second effect here technically is a replacement for Magnacarrier; a bit iffy on it, but it'll let you setup whatever Xyz you need at the time without needing to discard a card, which is cool.

 

Xyz basically shuts down stuff from activating, and bounces it away if it would go to the Graveyard. On paper, it's not really bad outside of letting the opponent re-activate on-summon/activation effects if they can get that card again, but looking at the current gamestate, a bit unsure on how often you can really play this. On that note, suppose you can chain this to a on-summon monster effect and block them from using an effect, so suppose that works. Generic-wise, I suppose Paleozoics could have a use for this somewhere, but uncertain on that.

 

This technically applies for both sets, but at least these are more names for Magnacarrier to build from or even Alphan Ball; right now, they technically are stuck with the three they have now.

 

-----

Going to have to vote set B on this one for consistency reasons (how often can you make this in SQs / generically for the Xyz) and flavor (I know a black Ranger exists, even though there are varying representations of their position on the force; at least from what I remember).

 

A does a lot, yes, but I just don't see how often you'll be able to make them; at least the Layer and the Xyz is really only good in this Deck. As mentioned earlier, the Xyz does have its niches for Rank 8s, but much better options exist. That, and I don't recall seeing a magenta or purple ranger anywhere in the franchise, nor any instance of red/blue "fusing".

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

As neither of the participants voiced any objection to the vote above (and going to take BDS repping it as acceptance), I'm going to declare this match finished in favor of B; 1-0. So yeah, Black D'Sceptyr takes this one.

 

In the future guys, please try to keep tabs on your on-going contests.
