Kaiba: Ahh a "god" user. 

Jack: Those aren't just willy nilly run of the mill gods. Those are not to be messed with Seto!

Joey: He's just denyin' because it will be painful to see AK lose to Odin if I were Seto

Kaiba: Shut the hell up, Wheeler! Go be a fourth rate duelist somewhere else.

Announcer: And his opponent...AK!

Announcer: Welcome to the Quarter finals! Let the duel begin!

Turn 1 (Odin 8000/ AK 8000)
Odin draws a card

Odin: I set 2 cards and place a monster in face down defense. Your move, Daddy's boy!

Joey: See? 

Turn 2  (Odin 8000/ AK 8000)
AK draws a card

AK: You will only utter those words before the takeover begins. I summon Luster Dragon (WIND/4*/Dragon/ATK 1900/ DEF 1600)

Jack: Power already?

Kaiba: Show him

AK: Attack his facedown!

Luster Dragon destroys the face down monster, Dverg of the Nordic Alfar (EARTH/1*/Warrior/ATK 100/ DEF 1000)

AK: I end my turn. Is that all your "gods" can do?

Turn 3 (Odin 8000/ AK 8000)
Odin draws a card

Odin: Do not test the power of the gods. I summon another Dverg of the Nordic Alfar (EARTH/1*/Warrior/ATK 100/ DEF 1000). I activate its effect where after I normal Summon this card, I can Normal Summon 1 Nordic monster during my Main Phase this turn. So I sacrifice Dverg to summon Svartalk of the Nordic Alfar (Dark/6*/Spellcaster/Tuner/ATK1400/DEF61600). Activating its effect that I can add a Nordic monster from my Graveyard to my hand. I select one of my Dvergs!

Dverg of the Nordic Alfar is returned to the hand

AK: That attack power is of no match to me

Odin: Maybe so, but I end my turn.

Jack: I don't think AK should be attacking.

Kaiba: Really Jack?

Joey: Those 2 cards may come back to bite AK

Turn 4 (Odin 8000/ AK 8000)
AK draws a card

AK: Are you done playing? Because I summon another Luster Dragon (WIND/4*/Dragon/ATK 1900/ DEF 1600)! 

Kaiba: Alright, heavy hitting coming

AK: Luster Dragon, attack Svartalk!

Odin: Here is why I told you to be careful, activating my Quick Play Spell Card, Forbidden Dress. I target your attacking Luster Dragon and it loses 600 ATK points.

Luster Dragon ATK 1900 -> ATK 1300

Odin 8000/ AK 7900

AK: I will keep my Luster Dragon from attacking. Your move.

Kaiba: The boy still needs to be calmed down

Turn 5 (Odin 8000/ AK 7900)
Odin draws a card

Odin: I equip Svartalf with Nordic Relic Draupnir. The equipped monster gains 800 ATK.

Svartalk of the Nordic Alfar change: (Dark/6*/Spellcaster/Tuner/ATK1400/DEF1600) -> (Dark/6*/Spellcaster/Tuner/ATK2200/DEF1600)

Odin 8000/ AK 7600

Turn 6 (Odin 8000/ AK 7600)
AK draws a card

AK: I set a  monster in defense and finish my turn

Turn 7 (Odin 8000/ AK 7600)
Odin draws a card

Jack: Wait, he has a Nordic monster. Oh no!

Odin: I use Svartalk as Link Material to Link Summon Gullveig of the Nordic Ascendant (Light/Link-1/Fairy/ATK 800). I activate its effect, banish up to 3 cards from my hand and/or field to Special Summon that many Nordic monsters from the deck in Defense Position. I also cannot special summon monsters except Aesir Monsters. I banish from my hand Hey, Trunade, Elder of the Six Samurai and Dverg of the Nordic Alfar to special summon from the deck, Garmr of the Nordic Beasts (DARK/4*/Beast/ATK 800/ DEF1900), Ljosalf of the Nordic Alfar (LIGHT/4*/Spellcaster/ATK1400/DEF/1200) and Valkyrie of the Nordic Ascendant (LIGHT/2*/Fairy/Tuner/ATK400/DEF800).

Kaiba: - eyes the field angrily -

Joey: Guess Kaiba Jr. isn't worth all the hype

Jack: Here it comes

Odin: I tune Valkyrie with Garmr and Ljosalf to Synchro Summon, my namesake, Odin< Father of the Aesir (LIGHT/10*/Fairy/ATK4000/DEF3500). And since this is summoned to a zone pointed by Gullveig, my opponent cannot target the Aesir monster it is pointed to with card effects and also monsters my opponent controls cannot target Gullveig for attacks.

Jack: Kaiba, this is the power of the Nordics. He can't win!

Odin: I activate from my hand, Nordic Relic Draupnir to give Gullveig an attack boost

Gullveig of the Nordic Ascendant status:  (Light/Link-1/Fairy/ATK 800) ->  (Light/Link-1/Fairy/ATK 1600)

Odin: Odin, attack that facedown!

Odin, Father of the Aesir attacks the facedown Des Feral Imp (DARK/4*/Reptile/ATK1600/DEF1800).

AK: Des Feral Imp's effect activates. I target a card in my graveyard and shuffle that back in the deck. I select Luster Dragon

Luster Dragon returned to deck and AK shuffles his Deck

Odin: Gullveig, direct attack!

Odin 8000/ AK 6000

Odin: This is the so-called Kaiba way? Forget it! You cannot attack Gullveig, you have to got through Odin. Magics and Traps won't affect it. Your move!

Turn 8 (Odin 8000/ AK 6000)
AK draws a card

Kaiba: Survive....

Joey: This is about to end next turn if he can't do anything.

AK: Since you control monsters, I special summon Kaiser Vorse Raider (Dark/5*/Beast-Warrior/ATK1900/DEF1200). I also set a monster to end my turn
