No, Recon isn't a good addition with this deck. It requires damage to be dealt by the Neodragon, and it's just better to have Talnada, because it gains gauge on crossnize, and since a lot of the Neos in this deck have no Soulguard, it won't cause problems with Talnada being in the soul, because people won't mind it. If anything else, Slowing would be a better choice than Recon, but that's not good in this deck either, because it would require an open center.

With Core, Talnada, Geo, etc., you have plenty gauge. First turn, you should have 5-7 gauge alrdy if you start with Geo, a Talnada, etc.
