Neos Wiseman, a monster with Neos in it's name who
isn't a Fusion monster, is an effect monster that is
Level 10 with an impressive 3000 attack and Defense,
and even a Spellcaster, of the Light attribute.
Now, Neos Wiseman can only be Special Summoned by
sending one face-up Elemental Hero Neos and one
face-up Yubel you control to the Graveyard.
That is absolutely terrible. Look, the odds of you
having both of those monsters on the Field at the
same time isn't so great.
When was the last time, even if you WERE playing
this Deck even to summon this card you had Neos and
Yubel out at the same time? They have to be ON THE
FIELD...not in your Hand, not some combination of
each, but both on the Field, and that really kills
playability folks.
The effects are good, I won't lie. Not being able to
be destroyed by card effects is beautiful.
Inflicting damage while destroying a monster to your
opponent equal to the attack of the destroyed
monster is also wondeful. Plus, for protection, you
gain Lifepoints equal to that destroyed monsters
defense.
If you get this Secret Rare, just let it rest in the
trade binder, or trade it away to someone for
something you can actually play.

This guy is another impossible Neos Fusion. What's
worse, you cannot use E-Hero support directly
because he is not an Elemental Hero, nor a Fusion
monster. Yuck! Well 3000 ATK and 3000 DEF on a DARK
Warrior with a ring of destruction effect is pretty
good.
You can only summon this guy by tributing a Yubel
and Elemental Hero Neos on your side of the field.
Prisma and Phantom of Chaos can help with that,
removing Yubel and copying Neos so that you do not
actually have to have them on the field for the
summon of this guy. Oh wait! You have to have this
guy in your hand as well!
To make up for his impossible summoning condition
that even Jaden found hard to do, he is
indestructible. That means he can't die in battle or
to a card effect. This is a pretty comprehensive
defense. Except for the fact that Compulsory
Evacuation Device and Phoenix Wing Wind Blast are
the preferred means of removal now, getting around
his effect. Darn, and he was just beginning to look
decent.
The second effect is why you play him. You ring of
destruction a monster that he battles with in
addition to any Battle Damage that you have already
done. As if that wasn't enough, he gains you life
equal to the destroyed monster's DEF. Nice!
Basically if you have the balls to get this guy out,
your opponent should just scoop it up because you
did the impossible. He is so hard to summon that I
think that Gate Guardian has a better chance of
being played. Ouch. But like I said, if your
opponent doesn't spin, bounce or remove him, you
should win the game based on his effect alone.

This card is awesome, in my opinion. No buildup. No
teasing. I love this card. I really can’t fathom why
this card hasn’t gained the popularity I think it
deserves…
So let’s look at it, shall we? – 3000 ATK, 3000 DEF.
That’s awesome right there. He’s Light. Also very
good. But he’s a Spellcaster. Meh. He’s a
heck’uv’lotta stars, but he’s a special summon by
his own effect anyway, so it doesn’t matter. He’s a
Nomi, which nobody likes. But at least he then can’t
be ever revived from your graveyard to use against
u. So then is his effect big enough to warrant play?
– Like Stone Cold would say – Gimme a HELL YEAH!!
He cannot be destroyed be card effects. How awesome
is that?!? So he can’t be popped by your opponent’s
DAD, nor their Judgment Dragon’s explosive
techniques. DAD just can’t plain touch him as DAD is
200 points too weak to beat him in battle, and JD
will have to suicide against him. No Black Rose
Dragon. No Smashing Ground. No Torrential Tribute.
No Mirror Force or Sakuretsus. Not even that dumb
little Snipe Hunter. Nothing feels better than
attacking without worry. Although the Wiseman can
still be removed from play or bounced back to the
deck, so you have to be mindful of that. But he’s a
BEAST when he hits the field. What’s more? Your
opponent cannot stall u out by hiding in Defense
mode as the more the Wiseman attacks something, the
higher your Lifepoints get and the lower your
opponent’s go.
The only tough part is getting Neos and Yubel on the
field at the same time. But there are a bunch of
shortcuts to make both of those possible.
