The Nordic Ascendant known as Polar Star Angel in the OCG and the Japanese anime, are an archetype that is used by Harald. Except Vanadis, whose name is an alternative name of the Norse Goddess Freyja, the other two members of this archetype are based on Norse Mythology figures associated with Odin. Mimir is the name of a Norse God renowned for his wisdom and knowledge, who is the guard of the Well of Wisdom and Insight, where one of the roots of the tree Yggdrasil concludes. Into his well, Odin casted his eye to gain knowledge of the future. Valkyries are a host of female figures who serve under Odin, and decide who will die in battle. They are also responsible for bringing the dead warriors to the afterlife, into the Halls of Valhalla (where they become Einherjars), that is ruled by Odin himself.
Playstyle
Nordic Ascendants, like Nordic Beasts and Nordic Alfar focus on quickly getting out their Aesir Synchro Monster Odin, Father of the Aesir out as soon as possible to punish the opponent. With this, you would require to have quite a few cards to focus on bringing out the tuners as soon as possible in order to carry this task out before the opponent manages to create a field advantage. One of Odin's main weaknesses is Bottomless Trap Hole, thus you will need protection. Here is an example of cards which would go good in a Nordic Ascendant deck.
