Elemental HERO Neos Alius

Elemental HERO Neos Alius was first introduced to the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game as a core component of the GX-era archetypes, designed to bridge the gap between the classic Elemental HERO monsters and the support-heavy gameplay introduced in later years. The card features an effect that treats it as a Normal Monster while on the field or in the Graveyard, which allowed players to utilize specific support cards like Gemini Spark that required non-effect targets. This mechanic made it a staple in competitive play during the era of Gemini-based HERO decks, as it provided both offensive presence and strategic utility.

The OTS Tournament Pack 9 (OP09-PT013) version represents a common-rarity reprint issued by Konami specifically for the Organized Tournament Store circuit. These packs were designed to provide players with accessible versions of functional cards, ensuring that tournament-level competitors could acquire necessary engines without relying on high-rarity originals. As a Portuguese-language release, this specific card belongs to a subset of global distribution efforts aimed at supporting the game's international player base through local hobby shops and sanctioned competitive play.
