Valkyrie needs to be toned down.  It's a 1 card Odin turn 1 if you open with it and just 2 other Nordic cards (not even monsters, but anything Nordic.  So you basically just   have to open with this since at least 50% of your deck is nordic stuff).

 

So Svartalf SS itself for pretty much free and recycles as the cost?  I guess.  Presonally I think that is a tad strong as the free Blackwing SS is already pretty strong, especially since this thing searches S/T.

 

Guldfaxe seems just a tad underpowered.  I think if you just take out the "and you control no monsters" it will be fantastic.  It's not like it's unheard of; you made a Alfar that SS itself easier than this thing and recycles while doing it.

 

I feel like Vanadis is just to slow, but I can see it's usefulness.

 

 

All in all it's looking good.  This (These?) Archetype(s) need more love.

The main buff to Vanadis is that now Thor and Loki can banish it to summon themselves instead of just Odin. Everything else is pretty much the same as it is, with an additional effect.

 

The change to Svartalf is to make Loki easier to summon, while also actually making it worthwhile to make him over something else.

 

Guldfaxe is subpar because Nordic Beasts have the most synergy with each other, whereas Alfars and Ascendants have actual little to no synergy at all. 

 

I may actually have to tone Valkyrie down due to the effects of some cards I'm thinking of, but I'll get to that when I get there I suppose.
