Elemental HERO Honest Neos

As first, I wasn’t high on Elemental HERO Honest Neos, but my eyes were opened by what it could do when coupled with searchers like Stratos and Vyon. I guess living in America has made me forget that some people still get to use Stratos.

Honest Neos has more harmony with Heroes than I first thought. Since it can be a great alternative search when you already have Mist or other vital Heroes that you need, it provides the same mental halt to the opponent’s plans that the original Honest does. When the opponent knows it exists, it forces them to decide what’s important. Also, Honest Neos serves as incredible fusion material, which I hadn’t contemplated when I first read it. Not only does he serve as the crucial light type to summon The Shining, but he’s also a perfect target to retrieve with Fusion Recovery. Honest Neos actually enables many solid plays! When you think about it, it actually makes a ton of sense. If there’s one thing consistent about all the main deck Heroes, it’s that nearly all of them have limited ATK strength. Honest Neos makes up for that.

My one complaint about this card is that he doesn’t count as Elemental HERO Neos. I think that was a huge missed opportunity. But I won’t dwell on it too much. This is a great monster that reinforces HERO decks of all types and actually brings them closer together.

Hello Pojo Fans,
 
Elemental HERO Honest Neos is what Kalut is to Blackwings.
 
HERO monster gets a 2500 ATK boost until the end of the turn through a discard of this monster. But, unlike Kalut, this monster gains its own effect ability when in combination with another HERO monster. Ditch a HERO, E-HERO Honest Neos gains its ATK until the end of the turn. This card is good, as it is a Kalut for any HERO, lending more ATK boost support when HEROS only had Honest for LIGHT attribute HERO monsters. Now any HERO can gain an extra 2500 ATK, which is huge in a battle. 2500 in addition to its own ATK is enough to take down most monsters in the game. Giving Honest Neos the added benefit of having the same ability to help it while it is on the field is a 1-2 punch Kalut never got.
 
Searchable as well, combo with Honest, Honest Neos will find itself in many HERO decks and is support they needed.

Well a week off, but I'm back again, at least for this week.  Hero week, more or less, so let's get into it, with Elemental HERO Honest Neos.  So 2500 attack, Level 7, Warrior, Light...but a couple of large effects here.  It can be discarded during either players' turn, and a Hero you target gains 2500 attack, which should be a gigantic boost to take down about anything it may be opposing.  Or you can boost this card, by discarding a Hero to increase his own attack by the amount of the attack of the card you choose to discard until the End Phase.  He has all the obvious benefits and support of HERO archtype, and he's a great asset, even in a crowded one.
