Nordic Alfar

The Nordic Alfar known as Polar Star Spirit in the OCG and Japanese anime, are an archetype that is used by Brave, which is composed of Spellcaster-Type monsters. The main purpose of "Nordic Alfar" is to recover "Nordic" cards from your Graveyard to your hand and Summon "Loki, Lord of the Aesir".

They are related to the Norse Mythology. "Ljósálfr of the Nordic Alfar" is a combination of the words "light" and "álfr" (elf). These light elves are divine beings who dwell in the heavens in Álfheimr. "Svartalf of the Nordic Alfar" Japanese name, Dökkálfr, is the counterpart of Ljósálfr, because it's a combination of the words "dökkr" (dark) and "álfr" (elf). Unlike the light elves who live in the heavens, the dark elves are beings who dwell down in the earth. "Dvergr of the Nordic Alfar" (dwarf) and "Mara of the Nodic Alfar" (goblin) are the only "Nordic Alfar" who doesn't come from the anime and is supposed to help you to Summon "Loki". This is the second "Nordic" archetype, the first being "Nordic Beasts"; as well as now the second largest sub-"Nordic" Archetype with the addition of the upcoming "Mara of the Nodic Alfar".

A unique thing to note about them is that their colors are Magenta, Yellow, Blue, and Cyan respectively, while Loki is Black. This may be a reference to the CMYK color system. Also, all of them, not including Loki, have a club-tail, similar to an ankylosaurus.

Play Style
The focus of a "Nordic Alfar" Deck is to Synchro Summon its best monster, "Loki, Lord of the Aesir". As the Tuner Monster of this Deck is Level 5, the other non-Tuner monsters' Levels need to add up to 5 as well. Level 5 Monsters that are easily Special Summoned, such as "Cyber Dragon" or "The Tricky" are commonly used in conjunction with "Level Eater". The Level 5 Monsters also work well with "Ljósálfr of the Nordic Alfar" for Summoning "Svartalf of the Nordic Alfar".

"Foolish Burial", "Dark Grepher", or "Armageddon Knight" can all be used to get the needed "Level Eater" to the Graveyard. "Mystic Tomato" can search your "Svartalf" and your "Level Eater".
