Today, we will be going over some combos and interactions in the Neo Nectar decks with video examples. As Neo Nectar does not win off of complex combos or fancy tricks, but rather through simple and straightforwards beatdown, the number of combos in this deck are limited.

Though we wanted to have the videos embeeded, it seems Hatenablog is unable to comprehend simple script to play a video and would crash the page every time a video is shown, so unfortunately you will have to click to see each video

Our first discussion is the Cela plays

Here we can see how Cela fixes and stabilizes all power lanes. Do note how Cela can create two columns when she is the only grade 2 you ride and don’t have any plant tokens from the G1 turn, while at the same time securing and fixing any columns when you have other Grade 2.

For these videos, we have shown examples of one, two and three Cela plays, all situations where you are using Cela riding onto a G1 that created a plant, and a G1 that did not create a plant. Do note how calling her to rear guard with a plant makes a 20k column which can attack and attack through one trigger.

I’ve also included some example plays of when you ride Arboros Dragon Timber.

Superior Ride White Lily Musketeer Cecilia

Here we have shown one of the interesting Standard combos for Neo Nectar. By using Maiden of White Color’s ability to superior ride into Cecilia, you can achieve her G3 in soul requirement on the first turn you ride up. Combined with high power from Ines or Arboros Dragon, or perhaps critical from Martina, you can easily push your opponent very hard from the first G2 turn if you go Force 2.

Next we move on to some Premium Standard plays

Maiden of Dream Shower

https://twitter.com/Canyousayblog/status/1250296345472057346?s=20

Our first highlight is how Maiden of Dream Shower, like Irminsul, can activate her ability in conjunction with plant tokens being called to pump them even higher. While not shown here, she can be placed on standby when called, have a plant token called over her, then activate her +10k ability to give all plants additional power, further pushing them to 25k power.

Dream Spinning Ranunculus Ahsha

https://twitter.com/Canyousayblog/status/1250289186747207680?s=20

Here we have a silly premium standard interaction between strides and Ahsha Flower Fairy Tokens. Because your strides grant your vanguard multiple card names, your Ahsha Flower Fairy Tokens can gain multiple card names, and hence this can be used by Dream Spinning Ranunculus Ahsha to superior call a Dream Spinning Ranunculus Ahsha from your deck.

Not very practical but this interaction exists.

Ines on Offense

https://twitter.com/Canyousayblog/status/1250285683333185551?s=20

Here we have a display of one of the most common plays you will be doing, with some variation. If you are aiming to go for high power, by superior calling Ines from the deck off of green katrina, you can have her gain power ability trigger for each other unit that is called. By calling plant token calling units, this further chains the amount of power pump granted to Ines, as well as sets up a 15k power boost for her. The mastery of timing this ability as well as what else to call, be it a mixture of Irminsul or Rebecca or other utility is what will determine your wins and losses in the upcoming premium standard metagame.

Ines on Defense

https://twitter.com/Canyousayblog/status/1250282150093418497?s=20

Here we have a G Guardian combo with Ines, showing an example of defensive play when you ride Ines. While you usually want to be aiming to superior call a unit that calls another rear guard, giving Ines 10k power, if you call Ines and have her call another plant token calling unit, that grants a grand total of 15k defensive power, or perhaps more if you call Ferine.

Maiden of Water Pot

https://twitter.com/Canyousayblog/status/1249705913503498240?s=20

Here we have an example play of utilizing Ahsha to superior call plant tokens and supply boosting units in the turn you use Lilga to bounce null guard to your hand, as well as how to use Maiden of Water pot in between your counterblast usage to supply enough counterblast to all your needs.

Arboros Dragon Sephirot + Antero

https://twitter.com/Canyousayblog/status/1250284786637127680?s=20

Here we have a G Guardian combo play showing the interaction between superior calling on the opponents turn, Arboros Dragon Sephirot, and Rindo Gentian Musketer Antero.

Similarly, by calling down a Ferine on the opponents turn, by comboing with Sephirot you can gain 5k defensive power while gaining an additional 10k interceptor.

Antero can grant 5k power to your vanguard for the turn for each token you control, but this does not say anything about where those tokens need to be. Hence, Antero does indeed count token units in the guardian circle, such as plant tokens that have been used to intercept.

Conclusion

That’s all for today folks. Today we have gone over some of the potential plays and shown video examples of some of the interactions and plays in Standard and Premium Standard.

Neo Nectar thrives off of simplicity and redundancy of effect, and as such relies far less on fancy combos to win, preferring to focus on numbers, tempo, and consistency.

I hope these interaction videos have granted you some insight as to how to order your on place abilities, as well as some insight into the high impact potential in standard and premium standard.

This brings us to the conclusion of our 6 part VEB14 Neo Nectar coverage. I hope the journey of learning through all of the new possibilities for the clan and how to pilot them has given you more insight as to what cards to pick up and what deck you want to build.

We will see you back again soon on the CanYouSayBlog, where we learn how to be a better cardfighter.
