The main goal of the deck is to Tribute Summon "Salvage Warrior" and use its effect to special summon "Svartalf of the Nordic Alfar", and then use "Level Eater" from your graveyard to reduce the level of one of your monsters. You will now be able to summon "Loki, Lord of the Aesir".


Setting up for this combo isn't too easy tho. Trying to pull of this combo means you need to get 2 Monsters in the graveyard, and a monster on your field which will be able to be Tributed for a Tribute Summon. This means you mostly won't be able to summon "Loki, Lord of the Aesir" straight away turn 1, but you will be able to set up for your next turn.
Because of this "Pot of Duality" is a great card to start of your turn, and its also pretty good later on in the duel when you have your Synchros setup.

"Svartalf of the Nordic Alfar" and "Level Eater" are both DARK meaning I can use the same support for both of them, which means the deck wont have to use situational support. As both of these need to be dumped to the graveyard I use 2 "Dark Grepher" and 1 "Armageddon Knight". "Dark Grepher" can even Special Summon itself turn 1 and setup my graveyard meaning if I have a "Salvage Warrior" in my hand I can more than likely go for a turn 1 Loki. I usually won't as I would be minusing my self too much. "Reinforcement of the Army" gives me the option to choose which ever I need and is also Spell target for "Summoner Monk" which is my other way to search for my millers. I would also get to Xyz with it into monsters such as "Lavalval Chain" which not only can mill any other of my monsters that need to be sent to the grave but also can top deck me the monster I need.

DestinyHEROMalicious-RYMP-EN-ScR-1EBecause of  "Dark Grepher" and "Armaggedon Knight", I decided to run 3 "Destiny HERO - Malicious" and 2 "Plaguespreader Zombie". These monsters can easily be setup and sent to the graveyard from where I can easy pluses. Both of these can be used as a tribute material for "Salvage Warrior". "Destiny Hero - Malicious" can be used twice so even if I do just Tribute it I can just summon another. I liked the idea of "Plaguespreader Zombie" because now it gives me Level 6 and 8 Synchro Options. It also gives me the option to summon "Beelze, King of Dark Dragons". It cant be destroyed by battle or card effects so removing it would be pretty hard and annoying for your opponent.

Summoning out many powerful monsters means I have to protect them. "Fiendish Chain" can protect me from attacks but mostly it will be able to protect me from  monster effects. It can also be re-used with "Vulcan the Divine". "Forbidden Lance" is used to protect me from cards such as "Dark Hole", "Compulsory Evacuation Device", "Bottomless Trap Hole" and even "Torrential Tribute". This means my easily killable beaters wont be so easy to beat causing more problems for my opponent.

The deck is pretty fun to use, it will confuse your opponent at the start but once your summon out "Loki, Lord of the Aesir" and other powerful monsters you will surprise them for sure.
Have fun trying this deck out, please suggest more changes to the deck! All suggestions accepted!
