i build this deck to test if slow decks are still good this format.. and YES THEY STILL ARE!! i tested this deck till it had 50 wins (dueled with it so much it became boring .-.), but with succes, if i say so myself.. the decks personal score is 50-11 and won vs this so called meta from these days: inzektors, wind-ups, dark world, agents, tengu plant, chaos stun, gravekeepers etc..
the point i wanted to prove was that in this format so called "slow" decks still can be victorious.. the fact that i noticed was that Normal Summoning is the key to field swarming.. as long as they have 1 monster on the field it can become 4 with ease.. as long as you can prevent your opponent of having any field presence of their monsters, then you can win with ease.. with this deck its very easy since the amount of traps are huge, so i interrupt alot of summons..
this deck is very trap depending, and you need to play conservative untill you see an opening to swing for game.. thats why this deck is hard to play with, but once when mastered very dangerous in the hands of a good player..
the reason this deck also tops was that my opponent never expected me to play such a deck..
Monsters: 17
i run 3 tengu's and 3 gulfaxe with both 1700-1600 atk.. this format its hard to overrun with monsters that are just normal summoned..
also i run 3 tanngnjostr and 3 tanngrisnir, which are pretty weak in attack.. that is where Nordic Relic Megingjord/Gungnir and Horn of The Phantom Beast shines..
i run 2 super-hamsters to get out tanngnjostr out easily and then go off into Thor, Lord of The Aesir which is a beast.. also did i tech in a Ryko to get rid of annoying cards my opponent controls..
and 2 Maxx'c's just FTW
Spells: 4
why i just run these spells? first of all cuz i only need these cards to win.. second of all is that i need to space for better cards.. and the third thing is that there arent many spells that matter much when they are used.. these 4 staples are beast in anyway they are used (unless you missplayed like there is no tomorrow >_>)
Traps:19
now the part of the deck that is the most important of all..
first we got the staples: trips solemn, mirror force and torrential = which are beast traps on their own
then we got the staples in nordic decks: 3 gleipnir, the fetters of fenrir, 2 nordic relic megingjord and gungnir = to search into the right monsters and to clear my opponents field (personally like Thor + Megingjord for 7K beater)
and then great additional cards: 2 call of the haunted, 2 starlight road, 3 horn of the phantom beast = getting back the right monsters, protecting my AWESOME BACKROW and powering up my monsters for drawpower..
thats a short explanation of this deck vs this format.. try it out yourself and
withness... see.... feel.....
as the one who is victorious
of course this deck is far from perfect so any tips would be appreciated ^.^
