Asgard

Asgard is by no means a complete archetype. The support is abysmal, the options are few and while the Norse theme is amazingly awesome, thematic coolness (ha) is all that they have going for it. And where's my Jörmungandr?

But expect some solid support in the future for one of the most intricate archetypes yet. Asgard involves playing the time game, using different abilities and spells to prolong the match and stall out a game. With their advantage-over-time engines and elaborate setup, Asgard moves slow but steady, buffeting the opponent like a long-winded blizzard. And when the clock hits zero, Asgard erupts with an explosive one-turn burst that all but wins the game.
