Odin, Father of the Aesir


Recommended Posts

Sorry is this has already been discussed, but I was kind of in awe of this card when I first saw it.

Once per turn, you can activate this card's effect during your Main Phase. If you do, this card is unaffected by the effects of Spell/Trap Cards until the End Phase. If this face-up card on the field is destroyed by your opponent's attack or card effect and sent to the Graveyard, you can remove from play 1 "Nordic Ascendant" Tuner monster from your Graveyard during that turn's End Phase to Special Summon this card from your Graveyard. When this card is Special Summoned this way, you can draw 1 card.[/i]

Will be released as the cover card of the new [i]Storm of Ragnarok[/i] set, due to come out February 8th.

Personally, I think it's broken as heck. Do I care? Not really.

"Attribute: FIRE"...

*looks at card, sees LIGHT* Now how did that happen?

Broken? Not even remotely. It requires a specific type of Tuner, of which only like two exist. It needs two non-tuners in addition, equaling level ten. It has 4000 ATK, and can make itself immune to S/Ts for your turn. If your opponent destroys it, wait until the End Phase and remove a Specific type of Tuner to revive and draw.

The specific Tuner is what killed its brokenness. The anime versions, which appeared to be generic, and had costless revival, were broken.

Whoops, don't know how that happened xP Will edit.

And yea, you make sense. I guess I was thinking that large stats coupled with Spell/Trap protection, draw power, such and such made it a tad powerful. The costs do even it out.

It's funny because its so easy to remove. It can even be bottomlessed.

Too much investment into such a lolzy beatsteack makes the playability of [s]the entire Nordic Archetype[/s] this card next to nothing.

But yeah, it's the best Nordic synchro though thats not saying much.

Thor has the advantage in that Polar Star Beasts have good synergy and more cards to the "archetype". That's because Dragan was the first Wheeler and had to use only his cards to fight. Brave just used Thor and Traps for most of his duel, bringing out Loki near the end. And Harald brought out Odin and then just kept attacking with the three Polar Gods. Therefore, Polar Star Spirits/Loki, and Polar Star Angels/Odin have the least support.

When this card is Normal Summoned, if your opponent controls a monster and you control no other cards, you can remove from play 2 "Nordic" monsters from your hand to Special Summon 2 "Einherjar Tokens" (Warrior-Type/EARTH/Level 4/ATK 1000/DEF 1000) in face-up Defense Position.

If you satisfy the conditions, it's an easy Odin. Otherwise, it's so absurdly conditional. I liked the anime version better, which just required two discards, not two specific cards being removed from your hand when your opponent has monsters and you have no other monsters, spells, or traps.

The only time I used this to drop Odin, he got Rykowned. The only time my opponent used this to drop Odin, he got Bottomless'd. Both of the people mentioned in this post were slaughtered because they lost half their cards at once and ran out of monsters in-hand.

The moral of the story is: Vanadis of the Nordic Ascent.
