Alright, time to tiebreak (or actually vote).

 

Card A

 

OK, we got a Foolish Burial for Evols that summons any Reptile you want. Granted, in-Deck, you are probably summoning Westlo / Gephyro in order to trigger the Evolsaurs for their various effects. Guess it helps that Vulcano technically revives the monster you milled earlier, so... Other effect is fine, since they don't have any way of retrieving said supports in the archetype, though this either requires that you get this destroyed, Tribute it (though that seems unwise) or use it for Link laddering or something in them (oh wait, you can theoretically use another copy to summon this). I guess that works.

 

Card B

 

As far as Triamids go, card is technically something they want; least in terms of the second effect summoning stuff from the Deck with Sphinx. As it currently stands, you really have to use Kingolem or Pulse for it; not that it's a bad thing, but in 2018, latter won't cut it much for slowness / being MST bait. First effect is alright, since it does get stuff into somewhat killable range given their somewhat low strength outside Sphinx, even with Kingolem up and Dancer's boosting. Last effect is fine; iffy about it popping multiple cards per turn when cycling through the Fields, but they're somewhat on the slow end with summoning stuff and with only 3 Main Deck outside Sphinx, chance of you having enough to pop 3 and cycle is very rare. It shouldn't be an issue. 

 

Being a literal hand trap is also fine, taking into consideration that they only have Pulse otherwise as a Trap (sans you running any generic Traps that are still useful). Otherwise, you can still set this and not really lose much otherwise.

 

---

 

I'm gonna have to give this to card B this time because it does give them some needed support (considering what they have to work with at the moment).

 

A certainly isn't bad, however there isn't much that can really utilize the mill/SS thing outside of Westlo / Gephyro in-archetype (as I severely doubt you will be running Reptiles from outside the Deck); take into consideration the Reptile Evols mostly trigger on Normal Summoning. Could just the inherent gimmick of the Deck requires that you go through the entire evolutionary cycle to trigger things. 

 

 

(So yeah, B was Sceptyr's card and he gets a win here.)
