Card Tips:Darkness Neosphere

"Darkness Neosphere":

This card can reset a lot of useful Continuous Trap Cards like "Call of the Haunted" and "Mask of Restrict."
- In the case of "Call of the Haunted"/"Birthright"/"Soul Resurrection" this can be an especially useful effect, since Call is often left sitting on the field meaninglessly (because the monster it Special Summoned was not destroyed but has left the field.)
- An additional tactic to use with Call of the Haunted/Soul Resurrection/Birthright is to chain Royal Decree's effect to that of Darkness Neosphere. In doing so, Call of the Haunted/Soul Resurrection/Birthright is negated before it leaves the field. The monster it was used to revive stays, and you can continue recycling the two cards in such a way as to be able to revive a monster every turn.
- You can also take advantage of Call of the Haunted/Soul Resurrection/Birthright to recycle effects that activate in the Graveyard, like that of Sangan or Destiny Hero - Dasher. Or you can use this for monster effects that activate when Special Summoned, like Sacred Crane.

It works well in a Sacred Beast Deck because "Darkness Neosphere" is an easy-to-use Fiend-Type which controls your Trap Cards.

This card works well with "Anti-Spell Fragrance." Your opponent will have to set their Spell Cards before using them, while you can just use "Darkness Neosphere's" effect.

Use this card to trump over any of your opponent's battle tricks (like "Honest", "Shrink" or other cards like these). Since this card cannot be destroyed in battle, your opponent either lets his/her monster be destroyed or waste their cards while you keep your monster.

You can recycle "Depth Amulet" when you choose to let an attack go through and summon this card.

You can use "Royal Decree" during your turn, return it to your hand and set it to use trap cards later, giving them only a small window of opportunity.

"Final Attack Orders" and "Savage Colosseum" allow you to easily summon this card and then completely destroy your opponent's monsters. "Gaap the Divine Soldier" and/or "Ceasefire" can up the ante for a full-on "Raigeki" effect.

Send "Sangan" from the Field and/or "Night Assailant" from your hand to help even out the card advantage you lost in Special Summoning this card. Using Floaters like "Mask of Darkness" or "Dark Mimic LV1" will also help offset the cost of Special Summoning this card.

Use this card with Tour of Doom to prevent your opponent from normal or flip summoning half of the time without suffering from the downside yourself.

In addition, you can use Light of Intervention to prevent your opponent from setting monsters as well.

In Traditional Format this card lets you reuse Imperial Order to save yourself having to destroy it to use Spell cards.

Use Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror and/or Light-Imprisoning Mirror to prevent your opponent from using Dark Armed Dragon/Judgment Dragon and the like to destroy this card. (Note that Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror will negate this card's effects, meaning you will be unable to return that Trap Card to your hand, and leaving this card vulnerable.)

This is one of the very few cards capable of standing up to Obelisk the Tormentor with relative impunity and even an excellent chance of survival.

Use Fiend-type monsters that summon other Fiends, like Stygian Security, so your opponent will be tempted to attack over and over. This will help you thin out your deck and will let you always have the conditions met for Darkness Neosphere's summoning costs.

This card is surprisingly useful in a Koa'ki Meiru deck. The card's summoning cost can easily be paid since Koa'ki Meirus revolve around keeping monsters with same type in Hand and field, and his effect can be abused with Core Reinforcement and Koa'ki Meiru Valafar.
