If this card is used as a Synchro Material Monster, its other Synchro Material Monsters are 2 "Nordic" monsters in your hand.

I like this card. Being able to use Nordics in the hand makes it faster, and it's not limited to Polar God Synchros, but in fact can Summon any non-specific Synchro. Plus, it gives access to Loki, which is passed over due to Vanadis being used for Odin or Thor.

And, it gives Loki more revival support. Now Thor's the only Polar God with only one Tuner for revival.

He himself isn't all that bad but the problem is...he's a level 2, what are you going to make Loki with in most competitive builds of Nordics? Had his level been 4, he'd be much better so you could use spare Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjostr with him for Loki, or even a level 3 so you could use them to get Trishula or Mist Wurm. At best, all he'll summon in most builds is a level 8 tops and due to the wording, I don't believe you can just use one Nordic from your hand and sync for a Hyper Librarian.

Though, you could make something like Loki Chaos Village (which might be rather interesting) with him, Ljosalf and Tyr in hand for Loki, Secret Village and Chaos Sorcerer.

Also, since the two Nordics from hand is a condition and not effect, you could use him in a weird Loki Skill Drain build.

I like the idea but I feel like his level is completely off for what he was made to accomplish. He could really use a level modification effect like Vanadis.

Well, Guldfaxe and Vanadis are both level 4 Tuners. Valkyrie is level 2, but its effect lets you Special Summon tokens.

I would probably run this not to Summon Loki, but as another Synchro option, and possible fodder for Loki if I was inclined to summon it with Vanadis.

EDIT: Re-read...Damn, it does require 2 non-Tuner Nordics, and you can't just use it with materials on the field.

Yeah but what level 4 Nordics does anybody run is what I'm getting at.

Ljosalf, Garmr, and Tyr are all level 4s.
I guess you could include Chaos Sorcerer then, since Tyr and Ljo are LIGHT, and Garmr and Mara are DARK.

Svartalf is a 5, so you could run him with other level 3 Nordics.

I dunno', Nordics in general are just odd.

On top of that, from the wording...it seems like he HAS to use two other monsters and can't even use one for a nice Hyper Librarian or Brionac.

He's still okay but pretty much requires a Loki centric build.

Edit: Forgot about Garm, he helps a lot with that Loki Chaos Village idea I had.

Yeah, I re-read it. It says "If this is used as Synchro Material, the other Materials are 2 Nordics from the hand". This is like Sin Parallel Gear. The only way it can be used as Synchro Material is if you use the designated Materials from the hand. You can't use more or less.

You could use Mimir and the level 1 Alfar for a level 5, but that's trying to hard. Level 5 Synchros shouldn't be -2s, so Garmr, Tyr, and the level 4 Alfar will work for level 10, but why you'd run Tyr, I dont know.
