''They're a clan that perfected magical [[Ritual Summon|rituals]] to weave the power of legendary monsters into armors via a [[Nekroz Mirror|magical mirror]], and clad themselves into them. This power allows them to even control the power of the "[[Ice Barrier]] [[Dragon]]s".''<ref>[http://www.ygorganization.com/weaselstamersmagicarmorandinfernorobotsohmy/ The Organization] - New Duel Terminal World Lores</ref>
===Background===
Presumably, after the end of [[Jewels of the Valiant|war]] against [[Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth|Sophia]] and [[Sacred Serpent's Wake|the ascension]] of [[Constellar Sombre|Sombre]] and [[Evilswarm Kerykeion|Kerykeion]], [[Gishki Avance|Avance]] (who has grown into [[Great Sorcerer of the Nekroz]]) and [[Gishki Emilia|Emilia]] (who has grown into [[Dance Princess of the Nekroz]]) have formed a family and given birth to a child named [[Shurit, Strategist of the Nekroz|Shurit]]. They are also joined by a [[Dragon]] warrior called [[Exa, Enforcer of the Nekroz|Exa]].
Their Ritual Spell Cards are very flexible and have additional effects and conditions that help to achieve the requirements of the Ritual Summons:
* "[[Nekroz Mirror|'''Nekroz Mirror''']]" can banish "Nekroz" monsters from the Graveyard as part of the Tributes needed for the Ritual Summon;
* "[[Nekroz Kaleidoscope|'''Nekroz Kaleidoscope''']]" is a unique Ritual Spell Card, that can be used to Ritual Summon '''''any number''''' of "Nekroz" Ritual Monsters, and can send, from the Extra Deck, a monster whose Level is the same as the total Levels of the intended Ritual Monsters; this versatility helps to maintain card advantage by keeping the monsters on the field and/or hand intact;
* "[[Nekroz Cycle|'''Nekroz Cycle''']]" can Ritual Summon a "Nekroz" monster from the Graveyard, and is the first Ritual Spell that can do so.
Each of them also have a second effect that lets the player banish it and a "Nekroz" monster from the Graveyard in order to search for any "Nekroz" Spell Card, provided its owner controls no monsters.
There are also other cards that can give more options to the Deck, such as: * "[[Djinn of Rituals]]" monsters: if used for a Ritual Summon, they give that Ritual monster additional effects, such as [[Djinn Disserere of Rituals|immunity]] against Trap Cards, effects that [[Djinn Demolisher of Rituals|target]] it, or even [[Djinn Releaser of Rituals|preventing]] the opponent from Special Summon. * "[[Mermail Abysspike]]": discard any WATER monster to add "Shurit, Strategist of the Nekroz" or "Nekroz of Clausolas". For example, discard "Nekroz of Trishula", add "Nekroz of Clausolas" and discard Clausolas for a "Nekroz Cycle" and Ritual summon Trishula from the Graveyard. * "[[Herald of the Arc Light]]": In addition to providing a useful Continuous Effect that banishes cards sent from the hand and Deck to the Graveyard, "Arc Light" also acts as a deterrent against the activation of any type of effect; not only being able to Tribute itself to negate the activation and destroy the card, but also searching a Ritual Monster of Ritual Spell Card when it is sent to the Graveyard. It can either be Synchro Summoned through various means, or simply used as Tribute with "Nekroz Kaleidoscope". ===Recommended Cardscards==={{Decklist|Recommended Cardscards

A particularly good candidate is "[[Herald of the Arc Light]]", which adds any Ritual Monster/Spell Card from the deck to the hand whenever it is sent to the Graveyard.''

===Weaknesses===
* The main threat to the "Nekroz" strategy are cards that lock its owner's Deck from searching effects, such as "[[Thunder King Rai-Oh]]" and mainly "[[Mistake]]". This counter-strategy is especially threatening because it can single-handedly shut down the effects of "Clausolas", "Brionac", "Shurit", "[[Reinforcement of the Army]]", "[[Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands]]", "[[Senju of the Thousand Hands]]", "[[Preparation of Rites]]", and the second effect of their Ritual Spells.
** One can also use "[[Shared Ride]]" to take advantage of their many searching effects and gain a strong hand advantage.
