Cards: 
[spoiler=CARD A]

 

During either player's turn, you can equip this card from your hand or your side of the field to an EARTH, Warrior-Type or Insect-Type monster you control as an Equip Card, OR unequip it to Special Summon this card. When equipped to a monster by this effect: You can target 1 monster in your Graveyard with the same Level as the equipped monster; Special Summon that target. If the equipped monster would be destroyed, destroy this card instead. There can only be 1 face-up "Spirit Elf of the Forest" on the field. You can only use each effect of "Spirit Elf of the Forest" once per turn.

 

 

[spoiler=CARD B]

 

When this card is Normal Summoned: You can add 1 Level 4 or lower Plant monster from your Deck to your hand, except "Garden Pixie". Once per turn: You can discard 1 card; Special Summon 1 Plant monster from your hand. If your opponent's monster attacks a Plant monster you control: You can negate the attack. You can only use this effect of "Garden Pixie" once per turn.

Card A is a monster reborn for Zoodiacs. It'd be able to revive stuff like Norden easily, or even just another Zoodiac, and extend combos by god knows how much. I don't even want to name any more Earth or Warrior decks; you've hit the most common attribute and one of the most common types in Yugioh. You even get a free monster out of it, since it can unequip itself next turn. 

 

Card B is too broad, its effect is boring in my opinion, but it automatically gets my vote for not being overtly broken.

Vote denied, for the reasons below:

1- Norden is banned.

2- You didn't elaborate much for your vote for card B.

As of today, yeah Norden got banned, but at the time shadow made the post, he was still legal (albeit @ 1). But that aside, agree with BatMed. The explanation was technically fine for A (though I'll assume that the contest is run on the June 2017 lists, and yeah Norden is now banned, so you'll need to reconsider that if necessary).

Card A

 

Has a wide array of targets it can equip to; yes, Zoodiacs are EARTH and could use this to revive more Level 4s to Xyz into, but right now, I don't think they need this card's assistance to do so; despite the recent hits. (OCG got it worse, but we don't play that format). Warrior decks as a whole would probably appreciate more ways to Xyz or Synchro, but not sure how this fits in. Insects aren't really great right now, so while this would help them out a bit with Xyz plays, those options are limited. EARTH as a whole opens up a lot of options, but out of the Decks that are worth talking about, most don't appear to need the help. 

 

Even taking into consideration this card can help with generic Link 2's and above, those options aren't necessarily great right now (or there's not many to really look at). 

 

Card B

 

I guess we're giving Aromas and Sylvans more ways to search stuff; former is technically tame right now and haven't seen Sylvans doing too much damage lately. Oh right, and Predator Plants; suppose they can use this for quicker summoning and actual Synchro plays (since their only Tuner is Level 6 if I remember correctly). Sylvans might find a use for the Tuner status, but I see them mostly using this to get their field set up faster. Attack negation is fine. 

 

=====

I'm going to vote for B since it does more in the long run for Plants; least in terms of searching power (which I think they sort of lack right now; may need to check their supports again) and the other two effects. A is more of an all-around thing and generally reliant on you playing the same Level to really do much outside Synchro plays if applicable. The issue about Zoos is an issue, yes (they repeatedly Rank 4 into Drancia and their other stuff, but that's more on the Xyz / Molmorat themselves), but as I mentioned, don't see them having space to run A. 

[shadowsapex]

A monster reborn that's a body that's a tuner? Do you need me to come up with uses for it besides Norden?

I don't much care for the vote. I just came here to note that the card's broken.
