Why Nobody Plays the Nordic Gods 

Tooth-Gnasher and Tooth-Grinder, it's not that hard.

Stealthy is not the right word for that

Tanngrisnir and Tangnostr or something iirc

Like Tan-grisnir and Tang-nostr It´s not that hard to say.

@@DerVasto very close Tanngnjóstr is tang- nyo- str and Tanngrisnir is correct as tan- gris- nir also if anyone wants to know Æsir is said as I-seer

bocodamondo wait really? Huh... I’ll have to remember that when i make my anime ragnorok decks..

My brother and I both use Nordic decks it’s his favourite and I like it so can the corner fit us? Also my cousin calls nordics op

Another thing like this that konami did is the they nerfed elemental hero Wisemans so that you need to send 2 specific high level monsters to special summon this card from your hand and all it could do was to deal damage to you opponent equal to the monster it and battles and it also heals you that much. In the anime it was a fusion monster that had the same effect but it had a floating effect to bring out elemental hero neos.

@@scarletdefender4life230 yeah, people often think things are OP that aren't because in the meta they play in, people either don't know how to counter that strategy, or just nobody has the cards for it. These people have never seen actual meta-decks play, or even looked at a deck blueprint.

@@Nerobyrne I was blown away in my early years realizing pretty much all the mirror force cards dont see play and are generally bad

Yeah but building a deck around Loki would be whack as fuck.

Dude, your brilliant

@@jesseymarchlewski8534 I mean that's how it worked in the 5Ds. Each member built their deck around 1 Norse God and because it was a special 3v3 if one lost, their God remained on the field for the next member, then he whipped out his God, so the last one with Odin got to start with Thor and Loki already out. It was a pretty badass chunk of episodes.

Thedailyblah Does it suck?

Room for one more in the corner?

I have a noris deck, most of my friends activly use their nordic decks

I play metaphys nordic. The deck is garbage, but if your opponent is a cuck and plays no handtraps, getting your -3 back from Gulvieg is pretty satisfying.

Joins you in the corner, "its okay"

Hahah.

It appeared there because it was worthless. The anime made them out to be near invincible but they aren't in the slightest.

Well to be fair i think they were a little better in the anime

@@Obviouse Cause, Yugi is the King of Games, my friend.

Mr.Obviouse Otaku yeah the nordics were generic in the anime and had some actual protection on them.

A cool effect for Loki would be if it it’s effected by a opponents card effect you can pull a trap from your deck and activate it from your hand straight away.

what I want to know is why the art is ugly as fuck. Odin is passable but why does Thor have ugg boots and meaty oversized hands. I won't even mention Loki.

@@Kerim9991 They’re not based off the Marvel versions that’s why.

Also Loki should get a more spicy effect. One idea I had was that maybe once per turn you could choose one card in your hand and then your opponent has to guess type. If they are right you can return one card on the field to it's owner's deck and if they are wrong you can return one card in the graveyard to it's owner's deck. Then the card you picked is put back into the deck and you draw a new one. I think that fits him quite nicely in that you're making your opponent try to guess wrong and make sure they can never outwhith you as you always have a different card to check.

@@bmwjourdandunngoddess6024 Even for the adaptation from the original mythology they're ugly as shit

NORDIC PENDULUMS

Duelist kingdom sadly no synergy

Play it in duel links (?)

@@midnightttemp821 Nordics are also bad in Duel Links

It’s a powerful deck this guy does not know how to play them so He can’t talk

Its like Konami doesn't understand that a "god" is supposed to be strong af. Atheists.

Joseph Honora Why call them Atheists because the god cards aren’t godly at all? It’s unnecessary. And to be perfectly clear, KONAMI doesn’t really give two fucks about thinking through their cards more. Release something either shit or broken, move on to the next. And maybe come back with either more shit, make it decent, or make it busted.

@@anayos6726 why does this sound familiar?

@@Partylikeits-br7bb They'r Japanese, what else needs to be said when Japanese media makes killing gods more casual than playing children's card game with actual children.

At least timelords didn't suffer to bad (except for sephylon and halion I suppose)

I also like Norse mythology. I wouldn‘t even use them in Duel Links. Their consistency is so bad, that you pretty much always lose if your plan is to focus on the synchroes. They may be a good option for lower level synchroes but there are better ways to go about those.

All of them should have effects like unaffected by anything and NUKE the enemies board once per turn , im serius thats how a GOD card should be .

Or even banish the whole enemies board and hand and graveyard and deck lol .

And also they cant respond to the effect realy if they make another god card it MUST have that effetcs .

The anime counterpart is much better!

They would practically have to make you win with the amount of resources you would need to summon it

I like turtles yeah, new win condition card

🤣🤣 not magic cylinder

My guy didnt just use odins effect to not get effected? Cap

@Ryugi that's the thing, if he activate the effect. But he didn't lol, so he can use magic cylinder

wow they nerfed those bosses hard.

To show you the power of Konami, I sawed this archetype in half!

Me too Now I want one lmfao

Me too but I actually built it for 100$ in real life and it gets easy wins against like Salads and some other Meta decks like Orcust thanks to handtraps and cards like Eater of Millions or Solemn Strike. Also if you are able to pull out Thor against Meta boards you actually destroy them even tho it's effect is slow. Sometimes I pull out Odin just to deal the big damage but I do the most with BLS - Envoy of the Beginning and cards like that. My only problem is when they just shuffle Odin into the Extra Deck but usually it's easy to bring it back or even go for a Borreload

Tell me more lol i help my boy build his decks but this one is hard to turbo out or mix an engine that synergize with it

@@DOESITMATTER7734 it doesn't really need a different engine. It's weird to say but with the new support Nordic are really fast. Like you can ideally bring up 2 Gods in 3 turns or even more if you can banish Alviss from the graveyard and use the revival effect banishing the tuner too. You end up 90% of the times with a God. Obviously to compete with Meta you need handtraps, I have 2 Ash, 2 Ghost Ogre and 2 Effect Veiler, to preserve the effect of the Link monster I use 3 Called by the Grave and cards like Forbidden Lance to protect my Gods during your opponent turn or to prevent an Impermanence on Gullveig, Forbidden Dress just for more protection and Forbidden Chalice as a secondary Effect Veiler that works in your turn too. The deck as many synergies with removal generic cards like Eater of Millions (you don't need all the extra deck) and BLS (you have a lot of Light and Dark monsters). I run 2 copies of Solemn Strike but you can put Judgment too. For the extra deck you can put the classic Knightmare Links but you'll just end up banishing them every game for Eater of Millions and they are expensive as hell so just bring 2 copies of the Gods and some random extra deck monsters you already have

@@dbomba AND THEN THEY ALL CLAPPED

@@dbomba run crackdown steal your opp monster then banish it with your link

Guy Bao Unless you use Evenly Matched on your turn, than Loki cannot.

@FullmetalBeard We stand strong together

@Trey Bradley C h i l d a b u s e

I see you in every comment section, anyways day 4 and 5 of waiting for masked HERO support

Also thanks for sticking up for me I also love nordics

Funnily enough, they are in the Anime

@@Ray_SB He's asking why they didn't keep the DIVINE attribute when translated to the TCG. The answer is because DIVINE is a pointless attribute.

@@elin111 Nah play Clear World in your Egyptian God deck for that secret sauce kappa

@@elin111 It does matter against Gozen Match !!!!!!!!

Only Yugi can play all three God Cards... But in reality, you can't even use them in tournament play.

Yeah you could activate the effect, but they would just chain their bottomless/torrential/compulse and their effect would then resolve before Orin’s protection resolved.

They're hard to summon but aren't worth the trouble. Perhaps Konami are a bunch of atheists.

Hard to summon.

Spartan Q77 Not many people in Japan practice religion besides Buddhism. Not many Christians, Catholics, Hindu, Islamic, etc. In all honesty, their religion is their job.

Blazrrr - Bad to mediocre effects, strange and clunky variable stats, not much presence on the field, very vulnerable to spell and traps during the standby and main phases, so little protection; versatility is non-existent.

@@anayos6726 It was a joke obviously.

They still won't see play but that's a start

I'm still rolling my eyes about the link monster not being able to summon fenrir.

That is savage as fuck.

That's the same with any deck**

Some art is amazing but there are some that are really hard to see what was drawn, even if those cards have good effects that makes the cards unappealing.

Blake Huynh I hve an other good idea...they could release an equip spell that makes aesir monster effects as quick effects..now how to access it always is easy.. link up to Isolde..dump the equip spell..summon dverg..make gullveig..once dverg hits grave u can get back the equip spell then combo off to Thor or Odin ...and finally equip..this assures an easy interruption every time ✨

@@nibal55 Focusing on equip spells like Nordic Relics is nice too. Iirc, Draupnir is a good card if you can actively destroy it. Maybe a Nordic monster that can special summon itself from hand by destroying a face-up Nordic Relic you control would be insanely helpful.

YES that's so true! I have no idea why they would make them traps.

You dont need the traps tbh.

@FD MZ Holy shit! Are you sure we are not the same person?? Dont say you play Lightsworns too?!??

Thats Duel Links. And Cocytus is the worst Invoked Fusion in the TCG btw. The games play too differently.

Its good in duel links Also you get watt,cardian,fortune lady, and also u get one of the best staple(the card that make a monster lose 800 attack and that monster get protection from any effect

@@azzuradyasrahma238 it's not, especially when they were first released. Fortune ladies were so much better and same with Blackwings. Nordics, in duel links are so much slower than here in the tcg aswell

Ok, but thor already has a negate effect, you dont need to slap another one on, it wont make him better

Funnily enough, apparently dark lords are meta in Duel Links.

@@TheGuyWhoIsSitting not just meta, the current best deck!

@@yugh2 best and budget Something that I have never seen in a card game before

Caio Prado But most of the Duel Links top tier decks have been budget (Amazoness, Fur Hire, Sylvans)

Barely anyone plays Amazoness and Fur Hire anymore, and nobody ever played Sylvans (as far as I know of). Electromagnet-warriors are currently one of the more powerful decks. Most of the rest plays Neos and/or Cyberdark and/or Desperado Dragon and/or Red-Eyes Fusion.

Yubel: Easily removed and lame boss monster Cyber: They look ugly Red eyes: Blue eyes

Honestly, people now play red eyes. Sure, it's only for dragoon but that's still something

Even there no1 plays them

And Duel Links is completely different from the TCG.

no shit: I‘ve been beaten by Jörmungardr burn. I consistently destroyed the Aesir synchroes but the opponent had 3 of that card and an E-con during the last try. I only lost because I was unlucky with my deck consistency.

In duel links can we play the sacred beasts ? Im new player there

I think you're a new player in general seeing as you thought Slifer was a good card, lol.

Odin+serpent+enemy controller -3000 life point = attack for game.

They were already experimented with, and they aren't competitive in Duel Links too, unfortunately.

@@williamhowe1 very hard to pull though takes so much resources

@@niladrighosh3269 Yeah fortune ladies are more competitive.

It can do some funny things if you banish metaphys cards in the hand

Do you have that deck still?

Doesn't qauser dragon require a synchro tuner? I'm curious how the deck works

It definitely still lost to Compulse. You'd just save the Compulse until after the window for priority has passed, and then when they use the effect you chain Compulse.

At the time of release, Guldfaxe was a fine card because Synchros were so prevalent, but nowadays it is just not worth running.
