Notes & Combos

This is my first season playing heroes. Took this deck from Master 5 to Master 1. I started playing heroes because I wanted my hero-only playing friend to watch me stream my games. Suffering on the ranked ladder is more fun when you have company! This deck actually turned out to be really fun. Got some really cool replays out of it.

Deck philosophy

I think heroes are a really cool archetype. Especially when Youtubers like Jaden BR, Emir Phoenix, and Grand Magus put amazing custom summoning animations in for every hero extra deck monster and have Jaden's voice dubbing their plays. Like, who wouldn't be hyped up by that? I wanted to play heroes, but I didn't like how the pure version relies so much on Faris, a main deck monster, and a 2-card combo because you need a discard for his effect. After resolving his effect, you're locked into heroes for the turn, and if Increase or Vyon gets interrupted, then you have very limited plan B options. Plus, drawing Increase is terrible. At best, it weakens your starting hand, and at worst, it bricks your combo. Players often play 2 copies so drawing one doesn't hard brick their combo, but that increases the chance of drawing one, which could have been a more useful card instead. Another thing is that Cross Crusader does not let you special summon non-heroes the same turn you use him. This Isolde build aims to remove the reliance on Faris, thus eliminating the need to play the Increase bricks, and the super-restrictive Cross Crusader. And it turns out, Infernal Devicer's role in searching out Neos for Infernal Rage and Shining Neos Wingman can be conviniently replaced by Isolde's search effect. Overall, this deck was a major success for me. Got me from Master 5 to Master 1 in under a week. Shining Neos Wingman is the GOAT! It's so satisfying to nuke the opponent's board and use him as the game ender.

Highly accessible combos

There are multiple one card combos into Isolde, which lead into the rest of your combo: Neo Space Connector, Speedroid Terrortop into Invoker, Hero Lives, and RoTA. Plus, any 2 warriors does it, which can be a normal summon, plus Fire Flint Lady, which has Durendal or Almace into Durendal to search it. The basic one card combo ends on, minimum, Sunrise, Verte, DPE, and a set Favorite Contact with materials set up for Shining Neos Wingman. There will also be guaranteed follow-up with Malicious and Denier in grave, and Miracle fusion in hand.
