Elemental HERO Neos Alius [And HEROes in general]

[Airride]

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 become an Effect Monster with this effect.
● This face-up card's name becomes "Elemental HERO Neos".

Are these guys even relevant anymore? Seems like they've completely disappeared off the face of the planet.
Discuss.

Well, the meta's so ludicrous that a balanced, but solid Decktype...

 

Well, E-Call to 2 might have hurt them a little bit. They still have a rather consistent search engine, but they're slower paced than most meta Decks this format, and the best trick they have is Super Poly abuse.

 

Neos Alius, I've always liked. 1900 Level 4 LIGHT Warrior makes it extremely searchable and a solid beater in HERO Decks. Being a Gemini hurts and helps. On one hand, it gets Normal Monster support like O-Oversoul and Hero Blast, and support like Gemini Spark, but its Gemini effect...it's great, but too slow due to being a Gemini monster. Neo Spacians usually need that Normal Summon to get things going, and losing it to Gemini Summon Alius is not exactly a good investment on its own.

 

Prisma tends to steal some of the spotlight when you look at Neo-Spacian Decks because it can keep you from drawing Neos while also grabbing its name, or pitching it to the Grave for revival shenanigans, plus it can do the same for Neo-Spacians.

Reasonably good. Now somewhat less consistent. Very boring unless you main A Hero Lives.
