[@duongallen4094]

To be fair: since 5D’s came out at the time when the card game has solid rulings, card are designed to be much closer to what the actual card game is. So the big boss monsters are all the same from the anime except their attributes and type (Divine are Egyptian Gods exclusives), what made the big boss fail was their specific tuners.

One of the coolest archetypes because its Norse mythology but maaan the artwork for them do no justice. The valkeries look more like tiny fairies and both Thor and Loki are super underwhelming in appearance.

[@Ragnellrok]

Nordic Valkyrie not being a Valkyrie but the Winged Dragon of Ra Spell card, Blaze Cannon being considered a Blaze Accelerator card will never make sense to me

[@KeitaroHirochi]

That's decently easy to explain. Archetypes depend on the japanese names. Valkyrie isn't a Valkyrie card because the Valkyrie cards are Siegfried's Valkyries, and are pronounced in German (Valkyure), but Valkyrie is pronounced Valkyuria. Meanwhile, Blaze Accelerator is just called Blaze Cannon in Japanese. Blaze Cannon is called God Blaze Cannon is obviously a Blaze Cannon card.

[@NordicMetal93]

I like the nod to the source material with having mini Kaijus in Fenrir and Jörmungandr, and gave me the idea of a "road to Ragnarök" kind of gameplan for an alternate version of this archetype. Basically, you build up your board with Thor, Odin, etc, and your opponent's board with Kaiju-like cards for Loki, Fenrir, and Jörmungandr. Then you activate a card(s) representing Heimdell blowing the Gjallarhorn which would activate an alternative win condition for you if any of the fated battles occur like Odin vs. Fenrir, Thor vs. Jörmungandr, and Heimdall vs. Loki. Maybe your plan goes south and you need to reset? Out comes Surtur to nuke the board with Baldr getting revived from the graveyard to restart the cycle. Throw in cards for Hel, Yggdrasill, Valhalla, maybe field spells for the nine realms, and of course Ratatoskr too. Nordic mythology is too rich to be limited to being a mediocre at best Synchro deck. It makes me wish that Konami would make a modern/good deck for the Olympians too.

[@MrRasengan]

Definitely hit the nail on the coffin with this one.

[@red-eyessolares1817]

Here’s the thing about Nordics back in 2011, it actually was at least a decent rogue pick during Tengu Plant format with it getting top 32 finish at YCS Toronto. The main strategy revolved around using Tanngnjostr’s effect which the Trap Rota Gleipnir works with since you activate this when your opponent declares an attack that would destroy your monster by battle. Tanngnjostr was also target off of Super Nimble Mega Hamster so its effect giving you access to either Synchro 7s or Rank 3s was able to happen more consistently than people thought. The version that topped in YCS Toronto paired the Nordics with Tengu since it’s great Synchro material, and Tour Guide since that also help to search for your Tanngnjostr. I think with the limited information at the time, and the perception that the Nordic cards were filler, the deck was not given more of a chance back in 2011. Especially with how modern Tengu has been making new innovations, Nordics could definitely be given more attention if more players gave it a chance.

[@mrhalfsaid1389]

Nordic is a good deck in the making, but Konami doesn't want to make an interesting deck out of them (and if they do decide to do that it'll likely be a damn otk for the 50 thousandth time)

if this archtype ever gets decent legacy support with better Aesirs and some more maindeck stuff with synergy it could legitimately be good, given how insane cards like Gulveigg are shame that will never happen

[@sufferingscribe]

Hope you cover Ancient Gears soon. They have one plan, beat-down, but they have some good support to let them do that. Biggest problems they have are lacking an good option for going first , their signature spell&trap battle negate not really mattering in the modern game, and not being able to interact with the opponents board outside of the niche backrow destruction after battle of Engineer and Reactor Dragon

[@cthulhuscat442]

That ad placement was hilarious to me for some reason 🤣

[@YGOstratPlayer]

The nordic deck needs like a couple more main deck monsters and complete retrains of the Aesir. Maybe just some other gods but I doubt they'd ever make other gods that like 5 people know the existence of yet the three everyone actually knows from pop culture remain unplayable. Loki should get a retrain that negates spell/traps in any phase and during either players turn + some other effect. Thor I envision as having an ultimate conductor tyranno-esque effect to be a board breaker, just kinda makes sense with the flavour at least to me + would make sense with retrains of the "summon myself for the opponent" gimmick with fenrir and jormungandr. And Odin should be either another negate or some other equally powerful but generic stuff. The two pieces of dog and snake shit fenrir and jormungandr should be like one is a bootleg kaiju, the other a double search or something but they lock you into nordic/Aesir summons.

[@Monty2289]

I want to say this archetype is a simple fix but I dunno. I guess the simpliest fix is to retrain the Aesir monsters. All of the overcorrection still summons garbage monster. Even give them the condition of "This card can be summoned with any Nordic tuner but the other materials must be Nordic or Aesir monsters"

[@Eis_Cold]

I think Odin and Thor would be fine if they just had "quick effect" tied to their main effect (loki is screwed on that tho) so if they just added a card that made them quick effects kinda like Orcust and their field spell "Orcustrated Babel" I think they would be fine, not strong but decent. Maybe a monster that can be summoned of the link 1's effect and that searches a field spell that makes them quick effects while giving some form of protection.

They should have either made it one cohesive archetype, or made 3 actual archetypes that are somewhat compatible (so they could function in the TagDual format like in the Anime)

[@ChiefGingy]

Ottawa is pronounced "autowa" for future reference :P Hearing my hometown called ohtowa sounded wild

[@Bezaliel13]

Wait a minute, why would you need to use Nordic nonTuners? Probably a discussion to be had about three characters playing literally the same deck, and I LOVE how Nordic did bosses no matter how underwhelming you would call them, but this was a weird "pure deck of all subarchetypes" or something.

[@Shadow-dj6kt]

Unrelated question but are rokket monster good

[@torakandwolf6786]

Nephthys Ritual or Shiranui next please 🗿 I want you to convince Konami to support them

[@ea8455]

Battlewasp. Tried them out but without non archetype support (like wyn the windchanneler) and stat stick protection synchros (crystal wing synchro dragon), the archetype is pretty bad nowadays. Even the lvl 12 boss monster is a joke compared to todays synchros. Feel like 2-3 good support cards would male them at least playable again. Spells are great.

[@Black_Revue]

Well there's always Genraids, the better Nordic Deck

[@starjadiancloneinvestigato1772]

5:40 is this achievable natty

[@SilverKeyed]

It was funny when Ottawa was mispronounced.

[@qty1315]

You should do one of these for Dustons. They're a terrible archetype, but they're bad in a way that (I think) is pretty funny.

[@larshoffmann2594]

Maybe some Aesir boss monsters could help. Freya, Frikka and Hel. Oz! Hel is already part of the much better, but still not good enough, archtype Generaider.
