[spoiler=Card A]Concealed Charity

Quick-Play Spell

If you Set a monster(s) to the field, or if you Special Summon a monster(s) to the field in face-down Defense Position: Add the bottom card of your Deck to your hand, then you can Special Summon 1 monster from your hand in face-down Defense Position, and if you do, draw 1 card, plus 1 more card if the Summoned monster's Level is equal to the number of Set cards on the field. You cannot draw cards, except during the Draw Phase or by this card's effect, during the turn you activate this card. You can only activate 1 "Concealed Charity" per turn.

 

 

[spoiler=Card B]Lucky Discovery

Normal Spell

Reveal the top card of your opponent's Deck; apply 1 of the following effects, depending on the type of the revealed card.

• Monster: Draw 1 card, then lose 1000 LP.

• Spell: Your opponent draws 1 card.

• Trap: Draw 2 cards, then banish 1 card from your hand.

You can only activate 1 "Lucky Discovery" per turn.

 

[.Belle]

How about a generic spell that let you draw 2 or more cards? (By generic, I also mean sth like Allure/Trade-in, not only Desire/Demise)

[Abdelrahman]

Sure. Countdown starts now.

[Abdelrahman]

Due to some problems with the site, the deadline will end on October 4th 12:00 AM GMT +2 Timezone.

[Abdelrahman]

Deadline is up, and I haven't received Belle's card yet, so the contest has opened again for a new challenger.

[Black D'Sceptyr]

I'll do it-let's go for a reversal of B.E.F. Zelos, and make a Continuous Spell/Trap that has the ability to search out an Archetype-specific Field Spell on activation as well as helps support that Archetype.

[Abdelrahman]

No. We'll go by the same requirements that Belle set. Okay?

[Black D'Sceptyr]

Right, a drawing card.

 

I'm game.

[Abdelrahman]

Cards are up (finally). Let the voting start!

[Abdelrahman]

Okay, 3 days have passed. Can someone please vote now so we can end this?

[Abdelrahman]

Seriously, can somebody just vote already so we can end this?

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Alright, I might as well finish it up (well, considering I have time unlike earlier when I had limitations due to before-class break).

 

Card A

 

Well, it's a possible +3 draw (adding bottom card, the draw from summoning and additional one if the Level = the number of Set cards), but in most cases, it's a +2. I mean, I guess 'dolls and Subterror would appreciate the help a bit, though it's still going to highly benefit you either way and kinda iffy about it. That being said, it does cut off Beast's draw effect (and thus its other effect to set up stuff), but...that's what you get. Same goes for other Decks (idk, Subterrors are the only other Deck that's really competent nowadays; think they can probably do something considering their whole summon mechanic and all, then get the added draw). 

 

Card B

 

This one is technically fine. Most of the time, it's probably going to be a monster, so draw and take burn damage. Trap effect is essentially a gimmick version of Common Charity, Cards for Black Feathers and the associated equivalents (Sword of 7 Stars, etc). The Spell one is the drawback one that gives opponent a free card and you waste your time for the most part. Though to be fair, I guess you could try using Convulsion / SPYRALs to limit the amount of backfiring this gets you, so...

 

====

I'm just going to vote for B because of the fairness (granted, you do take some risk in using it, but it balances risk/reward better). A isn't bad, but is essentially another toy for Flip decks and only real drawback is no other draw effects that turn (and does not block searching effects). 

[Abdelrahman]

Fair enough. BDS, do you approve Sakura's vote?

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

He's been gone for a couple days (and still hasn't checked on the last 1v1 he was in). If you're fine with the vote, then it'll be sufficient to end this contest and have you report the result.
