Rota-able.
Honest-able.
Benefits from the best Hero support.


Discuss the many ways/combos to abuse it's effect?

[Toffee.]

Quite possible the(or 1 of) best Hero monsters ever printed. Its versatile in many decks that also run fusion-boss monsters, like Gladiator Beasts for example. It also makes for a very nice deck-thinning engine if you built your deck to contain a lot of Fusion materials, like if your Extra deck contains Flower Wolf, Man-Eating Black Shark, Thousand Dragon, etc, etc. And the fact that its an E-Hero gives a nice handful of cards that can easily get Prisma to the field.
All in all, very nice card design.

Another one of this cards main benefits aside from fitting any material like Arm pointed out is that you can abuse it's effect to dump certain cards into the Graveyard for future plays. You could turn it into Neos dumping one, than PoC it for a big beatstick (I've seen people do this with Dark Rainbow Dragon in Rainbow Neos decks) or Miracle Fusion on it for later.

It just makes fusion decks alot more consistant and is simple to play due to the plethoras of support. I find its like a superior version of King of the Swamp even though they are entirely different cards. It's ATK/DEF are decent to allow this crystal thing actually survive in battle.

tl;dr version: Pro Card for Fusions.

Prisma also makes for an interesting card with such effects like Burst Stream of Destruction, Inferno Fireblast, Dark Magic, Attack, etc, etc, as all of those monsters each have a respective Fusion monster.
(Dark Flre, Ultimiate Dragon, etc, etc)
More or less, Prisma is a Swiss-army knife that has a wide variety of uses for it, and can easily help speed a deck up.

I find nowadays people never use fusions unless it's to abuse Future Fusion or the occasional Generic E-Hero steal. For casual fusion based decks however, of course.

[evilfusion]

Has innumerable purposes and combos.

It has Warrior, LIGHT, and Ehero support. Is a free Foolish Burial for specific Fusion Materials and can use all the perks of that card's name. Fun in a deck that uses Cyber Dragon, as it makes OTKing even easier. Can also type-kill Machine decks with this method and Fortress Dragon.

Can be used for a Fusion if you have a Substitute + a Fusion card, can set up Miracle Fusion, etc.

It helps Dark Eradicator Burn

Really though, this thing is amazing. Any deck that runs fusions can run this to speed it up...

Phantom/Prisma Armityle.dek

This card is one of the few smart things Konami did.

[Great Unclean One: VK]

A card that fits so many roles, I wonder if he's actually the God of Change coming from Warhammer to YGO.

[Sephiroth_The_Legend]

2nd Best E-Hero after Stratos.

Has a variety of uses in alot of different Decks. As explained above, it's practically a Walking Foolish Burial that allows
for card specific cards to be used.

Can't you like, use right grammar for once if you're going to object?

OT: Definately one of the useful E-Heros, along with Neos Alius and Stratos.

I've never seen a good reason to run this card in gbs. They can tag anything they want anyway. I suppose it does get them to the graveyard to help with indomitable gb and gb return, and allows for fusion before the battle phase.

I think he ment Prisma becomes Neos, and then Phantom copies the already-in-the-graveyard Rainbow Dark Dragon

[Mehmani]

Great in Glads.

Dump Bestiari with Prisma to have it copy it's name.
SS Test Tiger.
Use Test Tger to tag out Prisma for Darius.
Use Darius to revive Bestiari.
Fuse into Gyzarus.

I like how you were all "I have no idea why people would run this in Gladiator Beasts" and literally one sentence later say "this is why people should run this in Gladiator Beasts".

In short, summoning Gyzarus before the battle phase (and avoiding Mirror Force, D-Prison, and nasty flip effects like Ryko) is good. Extending the use of Darius and Equeste is good. Thinning your deck is good. There's no real reason not to be using Prisma unless you couldn't afford it.

Which leads me to another question. Why is this card so hard to find/get?

Second Pro move:
Have Cydra in your deck while opponent has machines
Dump Cydra for Prisma to have copy its name
Steal their monsters and laugh at them when you make Chimeratech

Because, it's that good...Or, Konami is too busy shoveling out money to sell those X-Saber Power Ups.

[evilfusion]

If I recall correctly, Prisma was only available in a special Duelist Pack Tin only available at Target or something. That could play a role in why it's hard to find especially now, with 5Ds being the big thing and Prisma being released late GX. That and people know its good and dont want to give it up.

Wait, it's still hard to find after being reprinted in GLD3?
