Requirement:

 

Make a Trap Monster.

 

Card A:

 

When this card is flipped face-up: Special Summon it as an Effect Monster (DARK/Fiend-type/Level 4/ATK 1700/DEF 1000), and if you do, you can target 1 monster on the field; equip it to this card. It gains ATK and DEF equal to the Level of the monster equipped x100. If this card would be destroyed, you can send the equipped monster to the Graveyard instead.

 

Card B:

 

Target 1 "Ally of Justice" monster in your Graveyard and 1 Machine-Type monster on the field; equip it with that monster in the Graveyard, and if you do, it gains the ATK and the effects of the equipped monster. During the Main Phase, if this card is in the Graveyard: You can target 1 Machine-Type Synchro Monster in your Graveyard; banish it, and if you do, Special Summon this card as a Normal Monster (Machine-Type/DARK/Tuner/2400 ATK/1200 DEF) with the same Level as the banished monster. You can only use each effect of "Ally Icon" once per turn.

One teensy vote?

[Yuuji Kazami]

Card A just outshines B in terms of generic usage and effectiveness. The biggest grope here with B is how it doesn't help the overall problem regarding the Ally of Justice archetype; there's no speed, no float, and no engine to make them be an effective archetype. You can argue about the float aspect since you can banish a Synchro machine to SS the trap as a 2400 ATK Tuner, but again, doesn't hide the fact that the amount of resources needed to make the machine Synchro in the first place would barely have space for this card to be in it.

 

I'd rather play a Tiki Uria deck with A rather than Allys with B, cause it'll still be more viable regardless.

 

Voting for A.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Unless either Sage or BDS have objections, A wins 1-0. Sage gave Yuuji a rep for voting, so that'll be taken as him accepting the vote. 

If you want this to count towards your season score, report the result.
