Who says that Elemental Hero Neos has to be used for Contact Fusions? Who says that Elemental Heroes in general should be used for fusions (even if they are meant to be so)

What I want to show you here is a (well-working, I may add) Deck which puts Elemental Hero Neos in a whole new light, without connecting him to Contact Fusions or Fusions in general; we're going to take some things into account: Neos is:

[list]
[*]an Elemental Hero
[*]a Normal monster
[*]a Level 7+ Monster
[*]a Fusion Material
[/list]

Now let's take a look at the following cards:

[img]http://img.ccgdb.com/yugioh/cards/152/CP07-EN019.jpg[/img]
(Special Summon 1 Level 5 or higher Normal Monster from your hand.)

[img]http://img.ccgdb.com/yugioh/cards/177/SDWS-EN037.jpg[/img]
(Select 1 Normal Monster from your Graveyard and Special Summon it in face-up Attack Position. When this card is removed from the field, destroy that monster. When that monster is removed from the field, destroy this card.)

[img]http://img.ccgdb.com/yugioh/cards/130/DR04-EN221.jpg[/img]
(Select 1 Normal Monster in your Graveyard that includes "Elemental Hero" in its card name and Special Summon it to your side of the field.)

[img]http://img.ccgdb.com/yugioh/cards/133/DP06-EN014.jpg[/img]
Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can Special Summon 1 "Elemental Hero" monster from your Graveyard that was destroyed by battle. (Only this card's controller can use this effect.)

As you can see, taking into account the particularities of E-Hero Neos, we can find lots of ways to quickly Special Summon him to the field, particularly from the Graveyard (by cards such as Monster Reborn (now allowed), Call of the Haunted, Birthright, O - Oversoul); but, there are only 3 Neos cards in our Deck, right? Isn't it kind of hard to summon him? Well, let's take a look at the following cards:

[img]http://img.ccgdb.com/yugioh/cards/148/DPCT-EN002.jpg[/img]
Once per turn, you can reveal 1 Fusion Monster from your Fusion Deck and send 1 of the Fusion Material Monsters listed on that card from your Deck to the Graveyard. Until the End Phase, this card's name is treated as the sent monster's name.

By simply placing one Fusion monster in our Extra Deck, we can activate Prisma's effect and send Neos to the Graveyard, and summon it from there; but it gets even better:

[img]http://img.ccgdb.com/yugioh/cards/130/DR04-EN219.jpg[/img]
Add 1 monster from your Deck to your hand that includes "Elemental Hero" in its card name.

That is one extra digging card. Have Ancient Rules in your hand? Take Elemental hero Neos and Summon him; have a revival card? Take Prisma, activate its effect and summon Neos. There is also [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Elemental_Hero_Stratos"]Elemental Hero Stratos[/url], which can be dug using "E - Emergency Call" and it is used to dig an additional card, or to destroy spell or trap cards.

And here is where we get to our next point: the Deck's weaknesses. What about Necrovalley, which won't let us touch our Graveyard, or Dimensional Prison which will remove our monsters from play. Worry not: the Neos Deck has some very powerful counters. Let's start with the basics:

[img]http://img.ccgdb.com/yugioh/cards/130/DR04-EN220.jpg[/img]
Destroy Spell or Trap Cards on the field equal to the number of face-up cards on your side of the field that include "Elemental Hero" in their card names.

A simple, yet easy to use card, which will destroy a number of Spell/Trap cards on the field. Note that it is safe to assume that we will have at least one E-Hero up at all times, though most of the time, we will actually get to 2 or 3. This makes "R - Righteous Justice" a very effective card in getting ourselves rid of the unwanted spells or traps

The next card is one of the stronger the Deck possesses:
[img]http://img.ccgdb.com/yugioh/cards/179/HA01-EN027.jpg[/img]
Select 1 face-up "Elemental Hero Neos" you control. Return it to the Deck, then destroy all cards on the field.

This card causes an entire field wipe, in case you're in a bad situation and the best part about it is that it doesn't even require the use of "Elemental Hero Neos". You see, "Elemental Hero - Prisma" has a secondary effect; if you activate its primary one, its name will be treated as the monster you have sent to the Graveyard (in our case, E-Hero Neos), which means you can easily summon a monster without any tributes, then instant cause an instant field wipe

To help with that matter, there's also a friend of ours out there:
[img]http://img.ccgdb.com/yugioh/cards/169/GLD2-EN028.jpg[/img]
This card is treated as a Normal Monster while face-up on the field or in the Graveyard. While this card is face-up on the field, you can Normal Summon it to have it be treated as an Effect Monster with this effect:
- This face-up card's name is treated as "Elemental Hero Neos".

A Gemini monster which can be Double-Summoned to have its name treated as E-Hero Neos

Next, there is the "power limit" issue. Because the highest attack of a monster in our Deck is 2500, this issue has to intervene. It's not monsters, however that should pose a threat, as you can combine (the now allowed, (which is a mistake in my honest opinion)) Black Hole, Wrath of Neos, Mirror Force, Lightning Vortex and their kind, but shall Attack Points be an issue, fear not: Neos, Prisma and Neos Allius are all LIGHT attribute monsters; and there is a friend out there for such monsters (the best friend of a LIGHT user I may add):

[img]http://img.ccgdb.com/yugioh/cards/195/TWED-EN001.jpg[/img]
During your Main Phase, you can return this card from the field to its owner's hand. During either player's Damage Step, when a face-up LIGHT monster you control battles, you can send this card from your hand to the Graveyard to have that monster gain ATK equal to the ATK of the opponent's monster it is battling, until the End Phase.

Shall Attack still be an issue, we can always resolve to:

[img]http://img.ccgdb.com/yugioh/cards/101/STON-EN039.jpg[/img]
Equip only to "Elemental Hero Neos". It gains 800 ATK. When it destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the original ATK of the destroyed monster. During the End Phase, shuffle this card into the Deck.

This Deck also works nicely with Skill Drain, considering that the only effect we need is that of Elemental Hero - Primsa. Once that has been used to its limits, Skill Drain can be used for no costs. As a consequence, this Deck is not vulnerable to Skill Drain Decks and it definitely proves as a mighty weapon against destruction Decks, as we can always recover our monsters from the Graveyard

As for my personal opinion, what I like most about it is that it is original (I hope) and it doesn't contain any powerful Archetypes, but can pose a threat and actually turns out to be quite the effective Deck

Thank you for reading this article
I look forward to seeing your opinions on this Deck

It's bad. This topic is stupid. I'd rather use a Blue-Eyes deck. Thank you for failing.

You know what Little City is right?
Even then Some of the cards posted in the OP are plain bad
namely the first 2

This topic is infact [b]NOT[/b] stupid..Very informative to certain players.
"I'd rather use a Blue-eyes deck" Where does Blue-eyes come into a topic about Neos?
"Thank you for Failing" Where infact is there any bit of fail in giving Information about a said card and what cards go with it?
It's a game played for fun.But from what you've said.It sure doesn't seem like it.

I see no decklist.

No, this isn't informative. This topic is telling people to run bad cards (not counting Neos Alius and Honest) in a deck centered around a bad card when there are better options to make it better. TC didn't even post the decklist. He just posted a link to an image that doesn't work at all, and implied the deck runs crap like Neos Force and Birthright. It's one thing to build a deck around a bad card. That's nice. It's another to build a bad deck around a bad card.

[Anbu-of-Sand]

Pretty sure guides for Deck-Building should be in the YGO TCG Forum.

Also, like what the others have also said above, this guide (if you can call it a guide) is just....bleh.

As the TC said:
Neos is
[list]
[*]An Elemental Hero
[*]A Normal Monster
[*]A LIGHT monster
[*]A Fusion Material Monster
[/list]

Blue-Eyes is:
[list]
[*]A Normal Monster
[*]A LIGHT monster
[*]A Fusion Material Monster
[*]Plus it's a Dragon.
[/list]

The two are very similiar. Blue-Eyes has 500 more ATK. It has a searcher. It has epic support. Comprende?

Neos has more Revival options (Skyscraper 2 -- Hero City and O -Oversoul) and is easier to seek (E-Hero Prisma and E - Emergency Call); as for support? Maybe, yes.. But Neos has Neos Force which is a very powerful card if not countered (especially combined with E-Hero Prisma's Effect)
But a BEWD Deck has an entirely different gameplay and I will never understand where the "BEWD has 500 more ATK points => BEWD Deck owns, which isn't really the case and only game experience can prove you that there is no card "better than another" in every situation.

Then again, this Neos Deck (and just because I haven't posted the Decklist it doesn't mean I haven't posted the Deck), focuses on the continuous reuse of the same card, and cards that require it to be on the field. A BEWD Deck doesn't really work like that and only by playing the both will you come to realize this...

But, then again, like I've said, this Deck is meant to be more original, than competitive (although when put in practice it becomes a competitive Deck and I know because I have been playing Yugioh for almost 4 years now and though I mostly use the LS and BW Decks and sometimes Glads, Dragons or OTK Exodia when I'm bored, this Deck proves "compatible" at the very least)


Just as an additional note:

There is no bad card in Yugioh (OK, well, I'm not really talking about Skull Servant and the likes, though some uses can be found for that, too).. There are only some cards more or less useful in certain situations. And if you are saying that Birthright is a bad card in a Neos Revival Deck, then you have certainly missed the point ..

It is bad everywhere...You have way many better option than it.
Call of the Haunted and Monster Effing Reborn are way better than it....
Oh and there is Hero Blast which may not actually revive it but it takes an opponent monster to compensate...

Of course you DO include M.R and CotH in the Deck, as well as O - Oversoul, but there are limits to how many copy of the same card you can have in your Deck ..

Yes, yes is does mean you haven't posted the deck. This section is for decklist, not a few cards and an explanation on how to play the deck.

btw you said BEWD doesn't have as many revival options as Neos.....REDMD would like a word.

[-Lightray Daedalus-]

So?
The deck space is 40 at minimum and you can't just ass whatever card you think it revives a monster coz putting too many of them would lead to awful dead draws

You revive line up at most should be

1 x Monster Reborn
2 x Oversoul /If really needed/
3 x Hero Blast
