[i]"Polar Star Spirit" Tuner + 2 or more Non Tuner monster
Once per turn during your Battle Phase, when your opponent activates a Magic or Trap Card, you can negate that activation and destroy that card. If this face-up card on the field is destroyed by your opponent and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon it from your Graveyard during the End of this turn by removing from play 1 "Polar Star Spirit" Tuner in your Graveyard. When this card is successfully Special Summoned, you can select 1 Trap Card in your Graveyard and add it to your hand.[/i]

f***ing Konami does it again.

Then again, the original versions would have broken Scraps so this might be a good thing.

[Tronta]

this still looks pretty ridiculous.
a 3300 beater who gets around mirrorforce/dprison and has a 1 (sort of) time revive?
i'm not missing something right?

[Toffee.]

......Non-Generic, and requires you to run more Polar Star Tuners in order to keep this thing going?

Sadface.

[burnpsy]

...Now they have to have entire decks based around them, they're not as good, and they aren't DIVINE - at least I assume all three will fail like this.

...I'm disappointed, Konami.

Source?

[Mr. Judgment Dragon]

Why am I not surprised?

Konami, i am dissapoint. But at least Polar Gods got ridiculoss support:

http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/G%C3%B6tterd%C3%A4mmerung

Mask of Restrict to prevent Tributing, and...

BTW, look at last line of new Loki. "When this card is Special Summoned" so will also work at the time you synch into it. So, we can assume that Thor will be:

Polar God Monarch Thor | *10 | LIGHT
[Thunder/Synchro/Effect]
1 "Polar Star Beast" Tuner + 2 or more non-Tuner monsters

[BDKMRV]

Not that great.
It's negation effect only activates during your Battle Phase.
Compulsory makes it go away during Main Phase 1.

[.Nu-13]

But still, it's not THAT terrible. It was awesome in anime, but is decent IRL

Close.
Also, if Thor is LIGHT, what is Odin going to be?

And damn you Konami. I loved these things. I didn't want to see them nerfed. Maybe limited or something.
I wonder how Thor and Odin will be nerfed, other than their requirements?

[Tronta]

limiting != nerfing. stop being bad. the card is fine. i'm not seeing the real problem here, but then i don't know what it's old effect was. it's not splashable, so what? suck a dick, it shouldn't be. stardust shouldn't even be splashable. generic synchros are bad for this game. REALLY bad.

They also made other versions of Frigg. You all know making this generic would have broke it right?

[Expelsword]

Surely I'm not the only one that sees if they DIDN'T [s]nuke[/s] nerf the Polars, they would be even worse than Machine Emperors and probably banned on release...

This game needs to slow down...

[Dr. Cakey]

DIVINE DIVINE DIVINE DIVINE DIVINE!!!!

Konami, you made a DIVINE attribute. Now use it!

Everything else is approved of by me - except it should have been "Polar Star" Tuner instead of "Polar Star Spirit" so you could run all 3 Polar God King/Emperor/Monarchs together.

[-Berserker-]

So Thor is EARTH and this is DARK. Odin must be LIGHT, and will change the DIVINE-protecting effect...

[Great Unclean One: VK]

KONAMI, YOU HAD SOMETHING BUT YOU HAD TO f*** IT UP DIDN'T YOU?

[Da Frost]

You guys need to listen to what tronta said.

[GenzoTheHarpist]

Loki was the worst Polar God anyway. If there's an easy way to dump Polar tuners en masse, I can see these still being good.

I think, what would have been good, was if ONLY the Signer Dragons had no specific requirements... it would have made them special among Synchros as opposed to

2 good ones everyone uses
3 crap ones no one uses

[Phantom Roxas]

Honestly, why did they do this? Isn't the [i]entire point[/i] of the Polar Gods to be references to the Egyptian Gods.

Having to use Polar Star Spirit Tuners for the effect really limits this card.

[DeathSDelano]

If they make some of the polar god tuners Dragon than FF for the Revival power?

anyways its more balanced than the anime one but still what a serious nerfing

[Darkest Hour]

I hate the guy who decides the effects for these cards.

Honestly, DIVINE and Divine-Beast don't have a single shred of support IRL...it's smarter to release them as types that already exist so that real support that already exists can actually be used with them instead of having to depend entirely on what Konami decided to release along with them. Loki with Secret Village seems kinda fun.
