wiithepeople Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 [center][img]http://images.wikia.com/yugioh/images/1/1e/Loki%2CLordoftheAesirSTOR-JP-UR.jpg[/img][/center] [center]1 "Nordic Alfar" Tuner + 2 or more non-Tuner monsters. Once per turn, during your Battle Phases, you can negate the activation of an opponent's Spell/Trap Card and destroy it. 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 Alfar" 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 select 1 Trap Card in your Graveyard and add it to your hand.[/center] I think Konami might look at this and say it's broken knowing them, but I see they could have a point. It has a Colossal effect, as are the other Aesir, and it has Mask of Darkness effect if successfully brought back. Konami already has MoD on the Limited List, but do you guys think that Loki will get the same treatment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I do hope you're not serious. First, it's a level 10 Synchro requiring a specific type of Tuner (only one Polar Star Spirit Tuner exists) and 2 or more non-tuners. This can be worked around using Vanadis, though. It's a 3300 DARK Spellcaster as well, which is decent. Now, to get its revival effect, first the opponent has to destroy it while it's faceup and send it to the graveyard. So all non-destruction removal, like Compulsory, Dimensional Prison, etc will not trigger this effect. You then have to remove a Polar Star Spirit TUNER from your Graveyard. Like I said before, only one Tuner exists in the game. So unless you use some graveyard restocking with Burial, you'll get to revive it, at most, 3 times. You get to return a Trap from your Graveyard to your hand when you do this, which is a good thing. Nothing wrong with that. And it can negate and destroy an S/T during the Battle Phase. Look, this all looks great, but there are enough restrictions and ways to beat around the effect, so it's not broken at all. The anime version was much worse, because it could revive costlessly and the Polar Gods didn't need the opponent to do the destroying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiithepeople Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I can see the TCG getting more Nordic Alfar tuners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolTama Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Main problem is the fact that there are only 2 tuners for him. One of them, a level 5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 And the only Tuner that can revive him is said Level 5. Vanadis only counts for reviving Odin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you might as well negate it with Loki. Also, Bottomless can stop them, since they're not sent to the Graveyard. Anyways, Loki is pretty good, I mean, combined with Thor, I'm pretty sure they will make the most ultimate team, but then again, somehow managing to Summon Thor, Loki, and Odin for the most ultimate troll-train, lol. For 3300 ATK, he can do some pretty good damage, and can stop a Spell or Trap card during the Battle Phase every turn, and a Trap Recycler, he can do some more good damage.

So I'm thinking of using Vanadis and Foolish Burial to dump some Svartalf for Loki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 True, D-Prison probably wont get used against Loki, it does have protection from that. And it is better in that it can shut down 1 S/T in your battle phase, which is better than the anime in the sense Anime Loki could only negate a Trap when it attacked.

DARKPLANT RISING Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Loki is one of the three invincible Lords of the Aesir, powerful cards used by Team Ragnarok in the 5D's show. It must use a "Nordic Alfar" Tuner, but don't let that fool you - its effect is enough to sum up for its conditions. First of all, most monsters will fall pray to Sakuretsu Armor, Magic Cylinder and many other traps your opponent cleverly uses in the Battle Phase. However, using Loki's magic all of those can be negated once per turn! Combined with its 3300 ATK that can even beat Blue-Eyes White Dragon, its powers at attack are nothing but unmatched. And, even if your opponent manages to actually beat it by some slim chance, you can revive it by removing from play a "Nordic Alfar" from your Graveyard! You can use cards like Foolish Burial to give this card extra protection. And not only that, it gives you a free Trap from the grave! You should add Bottomless Trap hole which can stop your opponent's monsters that can beat it by battle. And now you can lock your opponent in a spiral of neverending traps that will soon help you push his Life Points to 0 with Loki's devastating attacks. If you summon this, you are sure to gain a perfect victory! Every Nordic Extra Deck should have at least 1 copy of this great card - Loki, Lord of the Aesir!

DeathSDelano Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 You forgot this guy can also be used for any of the Aesirs [url]http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Vanadis_of_the_Nordic_Ascendant[/url] Though he is better used for Thor or Odin than this. Aesir need more tuners :/ imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know everyone here still wishes for more Nordic Tuners. They should have one that it can be removed from play for any Aesir revival. Like "During the End Phase of the turn a face-up "Aesir" monster you control is destroyed by your opponent's card (either by battle or effect), you can remove from play this card from your Graveyard to select and Special Summon 1 of those monsters."
