How to Play

Vision HEROes

The Vision HEROes in this deck are used to get a bunch of HERO monsters out on the field quickly.

Faris alone can start a combo that Special Summons two monsters from the deck. Special Summon Faris by discarding a HERO, preferably Malicious. Use Faris' effect to put an Increase in your Spell/Trap zone, then tribute Faris to Special Summon Increase. Increase Special Summons Vyon from your deck which mills a HERO to the graveyard. This is your main combo and from this, you can make various boss monsters depending on the match-up.

Vision HERO Vyon is usually seen when Special Summoned by Increase, letting you mill a HERO monster from your deck. You can send Celestial or Malicious to the graveyard to prepare their effects. Or you can mill extra copies of Faris or Vyon, which you will banish to search Polymerization.

Vision HERO Increase

DARK Warrior ★3
ATK 900 / DEF 1100
Fortress of Gears [SR]
Selection Box Vol.03 Mini [SR]
If you take battle or effect damage while this card is in your GY: You can place this card from your GY in your Spell & Trap Zone as a face-up Continuous Trap. During the Main Phase, if this card is treated as a Continuous Trap: You can Tribute 1 "HERO" monster; Special Summon this card. If this card is Special Summoned from the Spell & Trap Zone: You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Vision HERO" monster from your Deck. You can only use each effect of "Vision HERO Increase" once per turn.
Vision HERO - Vyon

DARK Warrior ★4
ATK 1000 / DEF 1200
Destiny Rulers [R]
If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can send 1 "HERO" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard. You can only use this effect of "Vision HERO Vyon" once per turn. Once per turn: You can banish 1 "HERO" monster from your Graveyard; add 1 "Polymerization" from your Deck to your hand.

Elemental HERoes

Elemental HERO Stratos
Elemental HERO Stratos
WIND Warrior ★4
ATK 1800 / DEF 300
Shark Fang [UR]
Selection Box Vol. 03 [UR]
When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can activate 1 of these effects.
● You can destroy Spell/Trap Cards on the field, up to the number of "HERO" monsters you control, except this card.
● Add 1 "HERO" monster from your Deck to your hand.

When Elemental HERO Stratos is Normal or Special Summoned, you can destroy Spell/Trap Cards on the field up to the number of other "HERO" monsters you control or add 1 “HERO” monster from your Deck to your hand. Usually Stratos will be used to fetch other HEROes, but having the option to pop backrow is nice.

With Neos Fusion, you can first put Brave Neos on the field before summoning Stratos. Then upon summoning Stratos destroy an enemy backrow. The removal effect does not target so your opponent won't know which one you'll hit. This makes it difficult for them to chain the card about to be removed.

Elemental HERO Liquid Soldier
Elemental HERO Liquid Soldier
WATER Warrior ★4
ATK 1400 / DEF 1300
Shining Sunrise [SR]
When this card is Normal Summoned: You can target 1 Level 4 or lower "HERO" monster in your GY, except "Elemental HERO Liquid Soldier"; Special Summon it. If this card is used as Fusion Material for a "HERO" monster, and sent to the GY or banished: You can draw 2 cards, then discard 1 card. You can only use 1 "Elemental HERO Liquid Soldier" effect per turn, and only once that turn.

Helps put another monster on the field by reviving another "HERO" monster from your Graveyard. Special summoning Stratos will then let you destroy 1 spell/trap card your opponent controls or Blazeman to search out Polymerization for Fusion Summoning Combo.

While he is used as Fusion Material no matter it is sent to the Graveyard or banished, you can gains extra 2 Cards draw, then discard 1 card. You can use this effect to increase your hand resources and discard 1 "Elemental HERO" monster for graveyard setup after you Fusion Summon monster by using this card with another "Elemental HERO" monster.

Elemental HERO Solid Soldier

Elemental HERO Blazeman
Elemental HERO Blazeman
FIRE Warrior ★4
ATK 1200 / DEF 1800
Hero Rising [SR]
If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 "Polymerization" from your Deck to your hand. During your Main Phase: You can activate this effect; you cannot Special Summon monsters for the rest of this turn, except Fusion Monsters, also send 1 "Elemental HERO" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard, except "Elemental HERO Blazeman", and if you do, this card's Attribute, ATK, and DEF each become the same as the monster sent to the Graveyard, until the end of this turn. You can only use 1 "Elemental HERO Blazeman" effect per turn, and only once that turn.

Polymerization Searcher when he is Normal Summoned. Blazeman's second effect works good with Liquid Soldier, here is the combo example:

  • Sending 1 "Elemental HERO" monster like Stratos to the graveyard with Blazeman Effect.

  • Next turn, normal summon Liquid Soldier then activates his effect to special summon Stratos from your Graveyard.

  • Use Stratos' effect to search out another "Elemental HERO" monsters or destroy your opponent's backrow regarding the amount of your "HERO" monsters except himself.

Miracle Fusion

Miracle Fusion
Miracle Fusion
Normal Spell
Revolution Beginning [UR]
Fusion Summon 1 "Elemental HERO" Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, by banishing Fusion Materials listed on it from your side of the field or your Graveyard.

You can put monsters into the graveyard pretty easily through Neos Fusion, which will allow you to use those monsters to summon another strong monster to the field.

With limited space in the extra deck, there are some couple of fusion monsters that you can put in the deck. You can use this card to Fusion Summon The Shining, Nova Master, Escuridao, Sunrise or Great Tornado.

Vision HEROes Fusion Monsters

Vision HERO Adoration
Vision HERO Adoration
DARK Warrior ★8
ATK 2800 / DEF 2100
Shark Fang [SR]
Selection Box Vol. 03 [SR]
2 "HERO" monsters
Once per turn: You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls and 1 face-up "HERO" monster you control, except this card; the opponent's targeted monster loses ATK and DEF equal to the ATK of your targeted monster, until the End Phase.

Adoration can be made with Increase and Vyon if you don't have any other HEROes on hand. His free debuff effect is good for getting rid of high-stat monsters and pushing damage, especially if you control another Extra Deck monster. However, you do need to control another HERO monster to use this effect.

Vision HERO Trinity
Vision HERO Trinity
DARK Warrior ★8
ATK 2500 / DEF 2000
Destiny Rulers [R]
3 "HERO" monsters
During the turn this card was Fusion Summoned, its ATK is double its original ATK. This Fusion Summoned card can attack 3 times during each Battle Phase. This card cannot attack your opponent directly.

Trinity has extremely high stats upon summoning, and the ability to attack three times lets him easily OTK if your opponent controls at least two monsters. Because of this he should be summoned when your opponent doesn't have backrow, letting him freely attack. However, he is extremely costly to summon and you should never summon him on the first turn.

HEROes Fusion Monsters

Elemental HERO The Shining
Elemental HERO The Shining
LIGHT Warrior ★8
ATK 2600 / DEF 2100
Lords of Shining [UR]
1 "Elemental HERO" monster + 1 LIGHT monster Must be Fusion Summoned and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. This card gains 300 ATK for each of your banished "Elemental HERO" monsters. When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard: You can target up to 2 of your banished "Elemental HERO" monsters; add those targets to your hand.

Since the only way to banish Elemental HERO monsters is through Miracle Fusion, this will at least have 3200 ATK when summoned. This is also the only way to recover banished cards, so it's worth keeping in mind in case your monsters get hit with something like Karma Cut.

Elemental HERO Great Tornado
Elemental HERO Great Tornado
WIND Warrior ★8
ATK 2800 / DEF 2200
Tornado of Phantoms [UR]
1 "Elemental HERO" monster + 1 WIND monster
Must be Fusion Summoned and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. If this card is Fusion Summoned: Halve the ATK and DEF of all face-up monsters your opponent currently controls.

Summon by using Stratos, or Blazeman copying Stratos, as Fusion material. Great Tornado has a good ATK stat making him a decent beater but his main feature is his effect upon summoning. Halving the ATK of all enemy monsters effective makes even the strongest monster as weak as a low-leveled monster. After that, your beaters should be able to deal with them.

Elemental HERO Sunrise
Elemental HERO Sunrise
LIGHT Warrior ★7
ATK 2500 / DEF 1200
Shining Sunrise [UR]
2 "HERO" monsters with different Attributes
Must be Fusion Summoned. Monsters you control gain 200 ATK for each different Attribute you control. You can only use each of the following effects of "Elemental HERO Sunrise" once per turn.
● If this card is Special Summoned: You can add 1 "Miracle Fusion" from your Deck to your hand.
● When an attack is declared involving another "HERO" monster you control: You can target 1 card on the field; destroy it.

Sunrise will boost up all Monsters you control by 200 ATK for each different Attribute. You can search out 1 "Miracle Fusion" from your Deck and add it to your hand for another Fusion Monsters summoning while it is Special Summoned. His Card Removal effect will allows you to destroy 1 card your opponent control while another "HERO" monsters you control attack or attacked.

Abyss Dweller is an anti-Graveyard interaction tech, intended to hinder Decks that activate a ton of effects from the graveyard. It's best to activate this at the start of the opponent's turn, so make sure to toggle Chain to "ON" and activate Abyss Dweller's effect during the opponent's Draw Phase.

Number 70: Malevolent Sin
Number 70: Malevolent Sin
DARK Insect ★4
