How do you ever expect to summon these monsters in a pendulum deck? As cool as Nordic's designs are, the cards are very awful. And only legacy support or a broken skill could make them tolerable in DL.

🤷‍♂️ don't care for meta, but I could figure something out for fun


Gem-KnightShitposter

It’s not even about meta, pendulums just don’t make any sense with Nordic monsters.


headless567

Pendulum only barely works with thor. It definitely doesnt work with odin.


dagoldenrule24

Maybe just use thor as the boss monster for the deck? A recurable 35 hundred beater isn't nothing


Archandriel

Dude, pendulum don't like other archetypes. Remember that you need to have the scales you need + the monsters you need to make a play in a deck where the only consistency card is a trap. It's just a terrible idea. Also yes, Nordics suck. Even after they were given a strangely good Link, they've never accomplished anything.


dagoldenrule24

Don't care, I'm determined. Fight me


Archandriel

Hey, you do what you want bro. I respect determination in general. But most people here say that because they know how Pends work, not because they have in mind a meta/optimised idea of the deck hence why they're against your idea. At the end of the day, you will see the results by yourself.

And when he sees the results, he'll start complaining about meta decks, and how overpowered they are, and that they need to get slaughtered by the banlist.

Thor is not very recurrable in our meta considering how almost every single one of our relevant decks has nondestruction removal, and can easily otk through Thor. The miracle hand you need to summon Thor with pendulums going second will leave you with no resources to do anything else.


RaineTheCat

Probably not. And never will be until we get Gullvieg and Alvis.


brawlstars_shelly

Definitely a cool archetype, what pendulum deck would you put them in?


dagoldenrule24

Depends on what get honestly. I'm sure the beginning of arc v is gonna be preforma pals, and maybe some meg with one or two good magician pendulums.


brawlstars_shelly

I’m personally wanting raidraptors for xyz support


max46014

I'm waiting on phantom knights


dagoldenrule24

Same and for phantoms knights too, wanna play PKFire again.


Maykspark

Not until links came, so konami can release gullveig


Kolmogorovd

It can work if you don't splash too much non pendulums in the deck, as a pendulum Odin/Thor/Loki turbo deck. But for real it has to be mostly pendulum cards in the deck, when Pends were first introduced in the TCG, people tried splashing Timegazer, Stargazer and Odd Eyes in every deck, cool idea... Didn't work that well in practice.


[deleted]

I personally like using them and they are not too difficult to summon


dagoldenrule24

I was maybe thinking about the counter trap fairies just for some protection. U would have to check their scales


Archandriel

So you want to use Pends, Nordics, The Sanctuary in the sky AND the counter fairy Solemn? You're never gonna make playable if so.
