As the title said, today I'm talking about one of my favourite engine: Nordics! No I'm not copying anything from Light Grunty LOL, I fell in love with them from the start when they were released in Storm of Ragnarok, which is better known as the Legendary Six Samurai set.
Basically the whole Nordic Beast archtype consists of:
Tanngrisnir of the Nordic Beast (Black Goat)
Tanngnjostr of the Nordic Beast (White Goat)
Guldfaxe of the Nordic Beast
Garmr of the Nordic Beast
And of course, Gleipnir, the Fetters of Fenrir.
Recommended ratio: 3 Black Goats, 1 White Goats, 3 Guldafaxes, 0-1 Garmr. My preference, this is for the ones who will try the deck out.
And also, you should run 3 Super-Nimble Mega Hamsters, 3 Deep Sea Divas + 1 Lost Blue Breaker (or whatever), and/or 2 Tour Guides 1 Sangan 1 Night Assailant (or whatever).
Back in the day when I first saw the cards, the only thing I thought about was Black Goat getting Guldfaxe for instant Black Rose Dragon. Bombing consistently is pretty good, especially it thins your deck a lot, and it takes only 1 card.
Now, the key play is still summon Black Goat in defense (mostly by its own effect or by Super-Nimble Mega Hamster - another favourite card of mine). But when you turn it to attack position, you have more choices than I did before:
First, and most commonly, is to get Guldfaxe to the field, synchro summon a level 7 (Black Rose!), or level 8 if your Hamster survives the battle (or just summon another level 4 monster like Reborn Tengu). I really like going for Scrap Dragon, because the used Black Goat is your free bullet, and you haven't even normal summoned yet.
Alternatively, summon a level 3 non-tuner (Tour Guide or Deep Sea Diva into a level 3 Sea Serpent like Lost Blue Breaker, Spined Gillman...), make Thor. Thor is very good, or even invincible in some match-up like Wind-Up, Six Samurai... He eats the staller for breakfast too, as you can negate the 'cannot be destroyed by battle' of anything.
Secondly, you can get to your White Goat, make a level 3 xyz monster with only 1 card.
Take a look back: with only 1 card (Black Goat) that is search-able thanks to Gleipnir and/or Hamster, you can put a level 4 tuner and a level 3 non-tuner on the field, OR 2 level 3 monsters. What do those things mean? Black Goat is the unrestricted version of Debris Dragon (you can go for Scrap Archfiend with Black Goat and Guldafaxe!), and the engine's own Tour Guide (from the Beasts' World).
Most importantly, you haven't even normal summoned. From my point of view it seems so overpowered right?
Random combos:
~ Hamster get destroyed, special summon 1 Black Goat from your hand, 1 Black Goat from your deck. Do whatever you want next turn: 2 level 7 synchro monsters, or Thor, or a level 8 synchro along with a rank 3 xyz if you run Garmr.
~ Black Goat for Guldfaxe, normal summon Deep Sea Diva for Lost Blue Breaker (or whatever), synchro summon T.G. Hyper Librarian and Scrap Archfiend/Black Rose Dragon/..., draw 1 card. Too many pluses.
~ Assuming Hamster survived the battle, Black Goat gets Guldfaxes, normal summon Deep Sea Diva, getting Lost Blue Breaker. Hamster + Guldfaxe = level 8 synchro. The rest (Diva, Breaker, Black Goat) can be used to make another level 8 synchro, or you can use Breaker's effect to clear a trap, then make T.G. Hyper Librarian (before that level 8 synchro), getting a free draw.
Many, many more.
Most random: Chain Gleipnir to your opponent MST, get +1.
SECRET WEAPON: Ancient Sacred Wyvern. You can make Wyvern without normal sunmoning, so there's a high chances of summoning more monsters, deal more damage before finishing the game with Wyvern.
The good thing about this is even if you get Veiler'd on Diva, Black Goat, you can still make push (with smaller synchro monsters, of course...), unlike summoning Tour Guide alone or something like that...
Invincible? No. Try the feeling of drawing 2-3 Guldfaxes. That's the bad thing about this deck, probably the only bad thing.
Build one deck for yourself. The deck generates a lot of card advantages with the use of only 1-2 cards, which is very good in this fast format where there's almost no Inzektors. They're fun, and they also create advantages from surprise factors - not many people know about Nordics.
That's for today, thanks for reading xD
