User blog:Allyofpikmin/Rate That Deck: Legend World Asgard

I'll admit outright. When Legend World first came out, I didn't give the Asgard group much thought. I simply put them on the same level I put the Gorgon subgroup at: Really bloody cool, but also not worth it at all due to consistency issues. Aside from The Ragnarock/Gleipnir combo, they didn't have much going for them, and it was more difficult than normal to try to set up against an aggro rush deck aggro rush. But with the SS Double Trial Deck giving them a nice collection of toys...I think I'll give them a shot.

...Also I admit the Trial Deck art for Joker is spectacular and that kinda influenced me.

To summarize some points about the deck:
 * Like any Asgard deck, it's main focus is to try and fire off Ragnarok to go for the kill. However, as I know there are instances where Gleipnir simply refuses to come out to play, or sadly is lost to the Gauge, Ice Blade "Astralux" is there as back up. In theory, both should work fine and running 3 of each should give a respectable chance of managing to grab either one, though I was debating running 2 Astralux so I could play 4 Surtrs.
 * I cut Berserk Gard because I simply couldn't find the room. Most spaces are occupied by the three key combo pieces, and then Gjallarhorn to help try to set up. Plus the card itself is kinda lackluster, even if it lets one set up for emergency discard shenanigans for Ice Blade alongside Breathen.
 * Not using the honestly impressive Fire Blade Laevateinn because of the same issues with Berserk Gard: Spacing issues. That said I am interested in possibly making an Asgard deck that ignores Gleip and Fenrir for more discard effect cards, therefore freeing up space for Laevateinn.
 * Incase anyone asks why this decklist doesn't include the awesome Valkyrie, Omniscience Alvidol, the answer is simply that I'm going to wait for it to actually come out before adding it to my decklist. It will probably replace Navalbonds when it does.

That's that, simply put. Feel free to leave any comments, thoughts, or suggestions.
