Legacy of the Worthless - Neos

[@exorphitus]

In canon Jaden created the Neo Spacians himself as a small child. Honestly this kinda explains alot because the entire archetype seems exactly like a small child designed it.

[@trueblueryu5713]

So wait: Flame Swordsman, a monster with average stats for a level 4 that was basically a vanilla in the anime was turned into a fusion monster in the card game and was comprised of 2 pathetic vanilla monsters, but Neos Wiseman, a card that was fusion in the anime and is based around 2 monsters that, while not amazing, you could fairly easily make decks built to support them, was turned into a non-fusion monster but still has an overwhelmingly strict summoning condition. Konami, why?

[@Luna-xr3dk]

Reasons

[@plushytv5295]

Very (un)reasonable reasons.

[@ianbramble8182]

Easy, because there is a Egyptian God card…and they hate you

[@Evnyofdeath]

4 years and no legit answer. Because if it *was* a Fusion it would be too powerful. You wouldn't need to draw into it and wouldn't need to summon the materials.

[@refkiriswansyah2830]

I think this problem exist by 1 simple fact: fusion mechanic. Really, if you compare this with the anime, OCG & TCG fusion mechanic is broken. No need for the monster to be summoned, only in hand & activate 1 spell card...BOOM! Boss monster!! Not eating your precious normal summon quota, can do it multiple times, build your field by only using spell & hand (and lately, you dont even need to use your hand...only spell and BOOM!! F*ck your opponent). Not only this is too OP in theory (while in reality we know it's not that easy, just because the OP version of the poly is always limiting its stat or effect or both or even eating a huge chunk of your LP), but it is ultra ugly in anime. Nobody want to see a "skip" scene of the protagonist just spamming OP boss monster one after another & OTK without any drama, up & down, or any turbulation or even summoning the "partner" iconic monster first. Fusion is supposed to be used as comeback mechanic as a plot armor for the protagonist to get a stronger monster when he almost got beaten. Thats why in almost every battle that include fusion summon the protagonist need to summon the ace monster first and then topdecking the poly or other monster to comeback. Emphasis in "SUMMON THE ACE MONSTER FIRST". Fusion mechanic is supposed to be used like that, not a free real ticket for Boss Monster to jump out to empty field by only using a spell and 2 additional card (or even 0) in hand. This OCG/TCG Fusion mechanic can easily make fusion monster too powerful, till the point that it makes Konami need to alter some of the anime card, because in anime, they summon the ace monster as material first, to show it to the audience about the protagonist efforts, before then summoning the stronger boss monster. While in reality they just need some searcher & lucky draw without even using their normal summon to make it. My suggestion is, at least make the fusion mechanic more limited. They need to use at least 1 of the material to be summoned in the field first. So at least it will make the trade off become more fair (1 monster in the field + spell card + card in hand VS 1 Extra strong card in the field). But NO, they prefer to change many cards, many effect, create many limitations for any poly alternative cards created later rather than changing the mechanic.

[@SakuraAvalon]

@@Meridianblood Also Neos Wiseman who should've been fine as Fusion monster like in Anime but no they nerfed him to be Main deck effect monster who has convoluted summoning condition so nobody play him, then release Neos Kluger later which is what Wiseman should be form the start.

Man, you really are one of the most underrated Yugitubers out there. You're cogent, you have a good sense of design, and you actually analyze these archetypes on every level instead of just "IT'S NOT DROOLERS, IT SUCKS." It really occurred to me when I was watching your Arcana Force video and you pointed out that the reason they didn't work was not that they were a gamble deck, but that they were a gamble deck whose only results were "kinda good" or "fuckawful" instead of one where they were two equally viable but different results. And that definitely applied here, because you actually went into the reasons that Neos doesn't work and never really worked, when you could have just pointed a finger and laughed. Also, I'm writing a fanfic that features a future version of Judai and one of the big differences is that he uses upgraded Neo-Spacians that have actual chain-summon effects and okay stats - basically, just making the NEX cards the normal thing. So I was definitely looking forward to the "what could be fixed" part. NEX itself seemed to be based loosely on the "Metamorphosis'd Heroes" concept that the anime used a few times, with Neo Bubbleman and Clay Guardian, and that's probably what they were supposed to be. Then Metamorphosis got banned, and nobody in their right mind was using it for that anyway. Divine Neos was nerfed hard from the anime. Anime Divine Neos started at 3000, and he could banish Neo-Spacians from the Deck to power himself up and get their effects, multiple times per turn. But nooooo.

Only one monster can be targeted at once so negating itself defeats the purpose of even running Dark Neos at all

[@Hyuuga2109]

Well done, you fused two monsters including a vanilla 2500 to summon a 2500 fusion that negates itself, essentially turning into... a vanilla 2500. However that might at least amount to something if you used Prisma instead of an actual Neos.

[@TetsuoKiriya]

Given that Neos shares his name with Ultraman Neos and also shares some design details with characters from the Ultraman franchise (red lines across the body and a blue crystal thing in his chest), I think the "shuffle this card into the Extra Deck during the End Phase" is meant to reference how each Ultraman in their respective series usually flies away or disappears at the end of a fight. Neo Space could be referencing the Land of Light, which is pretty much the Ultras' main homeworld and base of operations

[@beppe1922]

Long ago something like strategy and rules cards (totally forgot their real name) were included inside booster packs, and among them there was one particular advice about one of the Neos fusions: "you can use the effect of Dark Neos to negate its own effect, so it won't have to return to the extra (fusion) deck during the end phase if you don't control Neo Space !". Don't know why, but I found that piece of info baffling at the time, making a contact fusion that's basically a cooler-looking vanilla Neos.

Neo-Spacian Glow Moss has pretty good synergy with Masked Hero Dark Law. When he attacks/is attacked, your opponent draws 1 card and whatever effect goes off. However since your opponent drew a card outside the draw phase 1 card in their hand is randomly discarded. Then thanks to his other effect the card is banished instead of send to the graveyard. If you're on the offensive then you'd want to attack with Glow Moss last in case your opponent draws a Monster (ending the battle phase).

What's so hilarious about the downside of the Neos fusions is that even the anime showed how bad they are when Jaden first tried using them against Aster, dude minus'd so hard to get Aqua Neos out, even spending half his lp to do so, only for his field to be wide open and took 3 direct attacks to the face, had it not been for his role as a protagonist Astar could have pulled any other D hero with higher atk and OTK'd him

[@winter945]

10:52 oh like earthbound immortals? Perhaps they should be the next legacy of the worthless...

[@winter945]

+Laith Shaheen An archtype that looses its monsters to a mystical space typhoon doesnt really function that well. And i have watched a video of someone making a nordic seck that looked OK and that was in this series

[@winter945]

+Laith Shaheen True, but once that is activated you cant play another one and with twin twister along with mst, there is too much easily accessable spell/trap removal for the deck to work

[@winter945]

+Laith Shaheen OK, i get where you are coming from but can i just say that both twin twister and mst are generic spell/trap removal

[@winter945]

+Laith Shaheen Not if you use two of them, which is very likely due to the fact you can run 3 of each. And fairy wind is another good out. I find that the best field spell to use is geartown since it forces you opponent to choose between you controlling an earthbound immortal or you controlling ancient gear gadjiltron dragon

[@winter945]

+Laith Shaheen Its destruction preventation is only once per turn

[@nkyfong]

I can make up an Elemental hero Neos retrain right here on the spot. Neo Elemental Hero Neos Level: 7 ATK: 2500 Def: 2000 Effect: (This card is always treated as Elemental Hero Neos) If there is a "Neo Spacian" monster or "Neo Space" on your side of the field, you can special summon this card from your hand. During your end phase, if this card was used as a material for a monster with "Elemental Hero Neos" in its text, if a card with "Elemental Hero Neos" in its text is shuffled into the extra deck using its own effect, you can special summon this card from your hand, deck or graveyard. You can only use each effect once per turn. This solves all problems with the archetype while not being completely broken meaning it won't be hit on the banlist. I wonder what you all think of this card.

[@raijinwolf2248]

When he opened with "Space..." I was expecting the next line to be "The final frontier.", missed out on an opportunity there.

[@luminous3558]

I get the odd feeling that between Spacegift, cocoon party and convert contact there will eventually be a functioning ftk or link spam combo with neo spacians. Terrifying.

[@ploppman7524]

How about a continuous spell card that said: "Special summon "Elemental HERO Neos" from your deck in face-up attack position and equip it with this card. If this card is removed from the field, shuffle the equipped monster into your deck. If the equipped monster is shuffled into the deck, shuffle this card into your deck as well." What do you think? Should there be some cost like discard a card, pay life points, maybe mill to keep in the spirit of messing with your deck? Or maybe that it's sent to the grave if the neos leaves the field?

[@torifort717]

Considering that would make the deck 6% more playable, no changes needed.

[@scraberdash4286]

Honestly NEXT is probably the only card that can actually make the triples without getting run over a few times

[@Mr_Giraffe989]

Despite the issues with Neospacians, you can really see how their design impacted later Extra Deck mechanics. Synchos, XYZs, and Links are refined contact-fusions. Oh, and Neos Fusion happened.

[@GoldoGolderson]

I watched all of these legacy of the worthless in one sitting I love these PLEASE make more I love them and you

[@GamingLovesJohn]

Pendulum Neos deck, I use Odd eyes Persona's effect to negate the effect of Neos fusions to send it to the extra deck XD

[@sandroguzelj1234]

so you want to turn it into a braindead no skill autopilot deck? nice....

[@damage1387]

+Sandro Guzelj If you used a pendulum deck you would realize that a lot of strategy is needed. I don't see how it is "brain dead autopilot deck"

[@sandroguzelj1234]

trunks strategy? gtfo! you dont need to manage your resources a all. it doesnt matter if your opponent nukes your field you can simply get everything back during your turn without any cost so dont talk about skill with this stupid faceroll mechanic

[@damage1387]

+Sandro Guzelj I use a pendulum deck and you just can't use all your resources in one turn because the opponent can destroy your scale and sometimes it is better to save cards for later. Also, if the opponent nukes your field chances are you already fusion/synchro/xyz summoned so your pendulum cards are in your graveyard, besides if your scale if ruined its probably going to take a while before you can restore it.

[@sandroguzelj1234]

***** dude fucking exodia takes more skill thn pendulum. hell i would rather play against chainburn

[@HajimotoSaito]

Konami just had to include the Ultramen's time limitby having the fusion monsters return to the extra deck.

[@andrewmurray4643]

Poly for divine neos using grand mole, banish grand mole, and THEN attack ur opponent's dark destroyer.

[@JoseRodriguez-oi8jj]

"Card game equivalent of finding Jesus" Fucking done

[@BluePhoenix_]

And what do we learn? Give Neos a sword and a shield and he gains zero attack and loses half its defense... What?

[@emi5502]

just found this channel and watched almost all of your videos. Good job man, keep it up. Hope more ladies and mental gen will know about this channel

[@TheSandwhichman108]

Aqua dolphin has an interesting place in yugioh history at some points as people realized it could be used to check your opponents hand for hand traps.

[@CatManThree]

Still sucks ass.

[@Effrenatus]

@@CatManThree I mean it was still a key part of a tier 1 deck for months lol

[@RSTLegacy]

In Duel Links the situation of neos is SO different. this is because a lot of things: -New support cards like neos fusion, neo espace connector and brave neos, which completely carry the deck and are even useful for other decks, since brave neos can be used for any deck that wants monsters on the GY (and also in the TCG, you can use neos fusion to simply bring rainbow neos). -Duel Links is played with 20 cards, which makes it more likely you're actually going to get the cards you need, and you don't have to waste the extra spaces on useless cards. -Judai's skill that simply allows you to start the game with neo space on the field, meaning you don't need to worry about it going away unless your opponent tries to destroy neo space (which is why i usually have an extra neo space on my deck so if the one of the skill goes away, i'm not exposed). -You have only 4000 LPs and only 3 spaces on the field for monsters and field spells, which not only means you have to get rid of less monsters, but have an easier time setting up an OTK.

[@REIDAE]

they were half decent back in the day before yugioh turned into a super fast paced special summoning race to swarming the field to otk

[@Sigmundfruit]

well eventually you know Konami is gonna release a bunch of anti-aggro stuff all at once

[@misterbadguy7325]

Nah, Neo-Spacians were never considered good. Even when they were young, people were running Monarch variants, Diamond Dude Hero builds, Gladiator Beasts, Demise OTK... Point is, it's just not a good deck when it's based around summoning a two-tributer, summoning a weak monster, and then losing the result at the End Phase. Hell, the only really effective Neo-Spacian builds these days are OTK builds - usually focused on Air Neos, Flare Neos, or Magma Neos, pumped up by Honesty Neos. Any Neos Deck incapable of an OTK tends to find its entire field vanish during the End Phase.

[@REIDAE]

***** i didnt say they were like competitive level good, they were decent enough for you to just play them for fun. And of course its no longer relevant in today's meta, nothing that hasn't received new support cards is

[@misterbadguy7325]

No, they really, really weren't. The overwhelming opinion was that the Neo-Spacian style of Contact Fusion was strictly worse than standard fusion, and keep in mind, standard fusion was almost never used outside of Metamorphosis and Cyber Dragons. If anything, Neo-Spacians were even worse back then, because the format in those days was so slow that losing a monster that required a two-tributer and a weak monster to summon would set you back so far that you'd be lagging behind for the entire remainder of the duel, and so beatdown-focused that relying on the survival of monsters with less than 1000 ATK was tantamount to surrender. These days, there are at least enough options that you can do them turbo and OTK with some reliability. Neo-Spacians are not a good deck that time has passed back; they're flawed to their core. There are Goat Format decks that could overcome the majority of 2007 Neo-Spacian builds.

[@idosarts_and_krafts]

12:44 and unfortunately konami knew And that's why we haven't seen the dude in 15+ years, and they want us to forget New neos support in POTE has the scene from the anime with neos and the fusions( yes I'm talking about instant contact) they just flat out HIDE HIM FROM US Edit: i pray to god that he actually gets that QCSR

[@ExSpectre]

Neos Alius was actually the main monster I used in my Skill Drain deck years ago, since it was honestable and sparkable.

[@diceking7469]

Do you think you could do Evil Hero's don't get me wrong I love that archetype I'm still trying to make them work but I feel as though they also need a look at on your Channel

[@merlink.7287]

I love Dice, wish more people talked about it

[@darkmagicianscousin5261]

Evil Heroes don't really have that much support, do they?

[@diceking7469]

Z AoT thanks

[@diceking7469]

Dark Magician's Cousin Let's see they have 3 effect monsters one which is really not worth running, 6 fusion monsters two that is mainly used for evil hero OTK and one that with the right cards can have the second largest atk points in Yu-Gi-Oh history, and 2 fusion spell cards. So yeah not a lot of support but I still love them regardless.

[@darkmagicianscousin5261]

Dice-King Gameing Don't get me wrong, I like them and wish they had more support, but I'm not sure they have enough support to qualify for Legacy of the Worthless, you know?

[@GraphaMaster1000]

Dark Neos can negate itself so that he is not shuffle back xD

[@cmxb2081]

Funny how Aqua dolphin became good when hands traps appeared

[@kindlingking]

When Neo Space Connector appeared to summon it from the deck, maybe snipe a handtrap and link off into Isolde full combo.

[@FakeHeroFang]

TFW Aqua Dolphin got memed into relevancy because it just happens to be able to yeet a lot of commonly run hand trap monsters. When an objectively shit monster becomes good due to pure coincidence, yeah things have changed quite a lot to say the least.

[@gorvenger1241]

Duel links Neo Spacians, that are breaking my Magician Girls: Am i joke for u?

[@Sleepy-qr9il]

What is your build

[@johnwhittington2998]

So this was why Judai was A depressed edgelord.

[@arlanbrooks23]

absolutely love these videos can't wait until the next Legacy of the worthless episode dude keep up the good work

[@Vinylmelody1517]

I love neos and neospacians. Nothing can change my mind. They were my favorite cards in the anime and even though I don't have time or money to build a deck, I do run Neos fusion on most Yugioh Video games and more often then not win. I'll stand by my Neos fusion deck till the end

[@DoritoGOD2811]

Every now and then I come back to this video to reaffirm to myself just how abysmally bad Neos is.
