Elemental HERO Glow Neos — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 56 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 56 · Deck: 56 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Removal · Secondary: Boss/End-board
Why it scores here
Glow Neos converts a live Neos fusion board into one destruction of any face-up card per turn, plus a 2500-ATK body that returns to the Extra Deck at End Phase. Its ATK earns no points; the once-per-turn, any-card removal and clean recursion do. Its material value is low because it leaves the field every turn, and the absence of combo evidence keeps confidence at Medium.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Summon requires Elemental HERO Neos and Neo-Spacian Glow Moss on the field, and Instant Contact co-occurs in 57% of the 103 decks, but there is no combo starter data to confirm the route (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | No recorded boards exist, so conversion from a starter is judged from text alone: one destruction per turn plus a body, with no observed follow-up (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | One-for-one removal with no graveyard refuel or draw; the card returns to the Extra Deck, so it is not lost but must be re-summoned each turn (inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 70 | Destroys any face-up card once per turn during Main Phase 1, with a type-dependent follow-up; flexible but targeted and sorcery-speed (verified). |
| Material Utility | 25 | A Level 7 LIGHT Warrior fusion body that leaves the field at End Phase, so it is a weak material provider and the text gives no material-use evidence (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Its once-per-turn effect is a single-activation line with no redundancy, and it resets to the Extra Deck each turn, which avoids graveyard exposure but leaves the effect exposed to a negate (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | One Extra Deck slot at 1.09 average copies, with the Neos and Glow Moss enablers already common in these decks; no garnet or lock restriction is evidenced (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Removal + 0.3 Boss/End-board. Intrinsic ≈ 56, Deck ≈ 56, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Once-per-turn removal that can hit any face-up card, not only monsters
- Returns to the Extra Deck at End Phase, so it is not exposed to graveyard or field-based removal
- Low slot cost: one copy in about 97% of the sampled decks
Weaknesses
- Requires Neos and Glow Moss on the field to summon, so it is dead without its enablers
- Its effect is once per turn and only in Main Phase 1
- Weak as material, because it leaves the field each turn
Counters / choke points
- A negate of its once-per-turn effect (inferred from the card text; no interaction data in the pack)
- Opponent-side removal of the Neos enablers before the summon (inferred)
Best use
Removal finisher on Neos fusion lines, clearing a blocker or a face-up threat each turn. Decks: Elemental Hero, Neo-Spacians, Heroic. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Destroys one face-up card per turn in Main Phase 1 and branches on the target's type; Must be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck by shuffling Neos and Glow Moss; Returns to the Extra Deck at End Phase; Average 1.09 copies per deck across 103 decks
- Observed: Instant Contact co-occurs in 57.3% of decks; Neos Fusion in 48.5%; Played in 103 of the sampled decks across 31 archetype labels
- Inferred: Removal is the primary role, with Boss/End-board secondary, because the effect is the card's main output; Accessibility is moderate because the summon needs two enablers; Negation of the once-per-turn effect is the main counter
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so inclusion is inferred from the deck sample only no rulings or banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) archetype labels are fragmented (two 'Không có' entries), so distinct archetypes overstates portability
