Okay here it is...

 

Flareshield Butterfly:

When I first saw your pics, it was awesome. So, (10/10) for the pics. However, IMO, it's effects are a bit OP. With 3 copies of this in your hand (if lucky), & having at least 1 FIRE monster on the field, you can Special Summon 3 copies of it whenever it leaves the field. Though for the negate effect, it's the good part of the card. But again, the last effect it's a +1 effect, and with some "Burial From A Different Dimension" it would be to OP don't you think?

 

So, IMO, the problem of this card is only about "Balance" (Though, really... It's a very nice pics there :lol: )

 

Phantom Burst Warrior:

For the first effect, it's a bit like "Reborn Tengu" with cost and different style. The negate part is also good, and for the last part... I like it. Sending like "Glow-Up Bulb", "Plaguespreader Zombie", & some DARK monster card for "The Dark Creator", etc. (10/10) for Creativity.

 

And for both, I just thought that... Why a Level 4 Monster have such low ATK & DEF

 

So, that's it, my vote for Syns

Flareshield Butterfly:

how i love dual-types, reminds me of T.G. monsters in the anime. The pic i liek, it makes one wonder how you managed to find it, but onto more serious matters the effect.

the fact that it only requires 1 FIRE monster to be removed from the field for it to be SS'd means that you can have an emergency wall, but the concern isee is, if you have 3 in your hand, then all 3 can be SS'd when the 1 FIRE is removed from the field. As for its second and thrid effect, its nice to negate the other type of monster when used as a material, and it makes your opponent second guess, what you're gonna summon with this. as for the last effect, i like how it gives you +'s for your hand, but it can be easily abused as how easy it is to get to the grave and back into the grave.

- the only thing that balances it out imo is the 0/0 stats

 

Phantom Burst Warrior

i like how it can appear from your deck out of nowhere, because that'd really surprise your opponent after randomly banishing a Spell or Trap which makes them think "what is he doing". the next effect is good, because it can troll big problem cards like Shi En and Librarian, though the balance in this effect comes with it self being in the grave. the third effect is useful, because you can send 2/3 cards to grave and you can just annoy your opponent by sending the other copies of this so you can fuel its second effect again.

- again its low stats is what balances it out, but then it can make your opponent second guess their moves and think how they are gonna get rid of this, without regretting it.

 

so after all that, my vote this time goes to Syns

[Guest Mr. Striker]

2-0 Syns

 

This should be interesting. I still have my vote.

 

@maximate: It depends on the effect mostly. I've seem high Level monsters have 0 ATK.

 

EDIT: I'm using my vote.

 

tomtekorv, seems like you put war into your card. I find the balance off due to the possibility of 3 coming out at once.

 

Playability: 8/10

OCG: 9/10

Balance: 7/10

Creativity: 8/10

Name: 5/5

Pic: 5/5

Total: 42/50

 

Syns, wow is all I can say. Like stated above, this puts your opponent's moves into question. It could really screw your opponent.

 

Playability: 9/10

OCG: 15/15

Balance: 8/10

Creativity: 10/10

Name: 4/5

Total: 46/50

 

With that, Syns is the winner 3-0. Your prizes are on the way. Thank you people for voting and I'll see you next time.

 

LOCK!
