Sooo, tie or?

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

If someone votes and you guys accept the vote, then it's over. Right now, it's still open (despite the inactivity in this section).

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

I generally don't like double posting, but because 1v1 is rather dead lately, I might as well just vote so you at least have something to report.

 

Card A

 

(Uh, did you forget to remove an additional instance of card A's Special Summon effect?)

 

But yeah, I guess Harpies found a way to fit Sky Scout (Harpie's Brother) into their playstyle. For the most part, you can just ditch any Harpie Lady monster, then revive it via Hysteric or something. In terms of its SS effect, just use Dancer to bounce this to the hand, then NS another monster and SS this again. (You now have the materials needed to make Phantasm Dragon). Or you have Harpist. While I think this could be used elsewhere (at least from what I can find out from the card database on YGOPro for both WIND / Winged Beast), this seems more geared towards Harpies in general (I want to say Dragunities, but think that's only for them to dump Dragons in the Graveyard to equip). Restriction isn't too much of a bother, as either one usually has several bosses that fit them.

 

Card B

 

Well, I guess it deters the opponent from attacking you unless they have Honest or some other attack pump, but that's about all it does. Unless you want to Rank 1 with this card using Inferno Reckless, you are never summoning this card as a monster. Heck, it doesn't even treat itself as Mokey Mokey while on the field / in Graveyard; so much for making King viable and/or generating more targets that can revived. Even treating it as OG Mokey Mokey would've made its usage go up. Yes, it can search another copy if opponent is careless enough to MST it or something, but yeah.

 

=====

Card A gets vote.

[Yuuji Kazami]

Card A: Sakura already explained how well it works in terms of synergy with harpies without anything going overboard or being ineffective, although more or less archetype restricted. It'll be redundant to repeat everything the reindeer had already mentioned.

 

Card B: Generic, but you really need to contemplate how useless this card is in Decks other than for stall/Exodia, and even then it wouldn't be that good because better cards like Swift Scarecrow and Battle Fader already take up the stall space. It's great it can search itself... But it's too irrelevant as a Speed Spell 1 card whose effect is limited to your opponent's turn. Not only that, as a monster it's very weak in synergy, even with its own supposed archetype.

 

A is obviously the better designed one here, so voting for A as well.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Since neither of the participants are here, I'll just end the match and declare A to have won 2-0. I'll leave it up to the participants, if they show up, to record it themselves. 

 

(So yeah, Yuuji gets his vote accepted and I'll rep him in place of Bellringer and XOXO)
