 | Happy Father's Day to everyone because everyone 
							has a father somewhere. This is my first year 
							celebrating as a proud parent. Today we have the Big 
							Daddy of the Aesir.
 Odin, Father of the Aesir is a Level 10 Light 
							Fairy-type Synchro Monster with 4000 Atk and 3500 
							Def. He requires a Nordic Ascendant Tuner monster 
							and 2 non-tuners to properly Synchro Summon, but 
							unlike other bosses, he can be summoned by other 
							ways. It is of course frequently better to summon 
							him properly first so he can recur himself from the 
							grave when destroyed. He Special Summons himself 
							from the grave only if the opponent destroyed him 
							while face up and only if you have a Nordic 
							Ascendant Tuner in the grave to banish as cost. Then 
							you get to draw a card. Drawing cards is always good 
							and there should always be at least one Nordic 
							Ascendant tuner in the grave to plus off Odin's 
							destruction. Of course everything fails to Kaijus.
 A slightly contradictory effect Odin possesses is 
							the ability to become immune to Spell and Trap 
							effects for no cost. It only lasts until the end of 
							the turn that the effect is activated, but some 
							protection is better than none. Since his other 
							effect brings him back during the End Phase, you 
							might want to let this other effect go in order to 
							try to get a draw. In closing, try to summon this 
							guy through alternate Synchro Summons like King's 
							Synchro to avoid costly summons and still benefit 
							from both effects.
 Now go turn off that AC, we don't have stock in the 
							electric company!
 
 Score: 3/5 Drawing cards on destruction should be a 
							universal boss trait.
 Art: 3/5 What is he holding, and what is that hat?

 | For todays COTD, we're taking a look at Odin, 
							Father of the Aesir, a level 10 light fairy with 
							4000 attack and 3500 defence. He's also a synchro 
							monster, needing 2 non-tuner monsters and 1 Nordic 
							Ascendent tuner monster. Luckily, there are a few 
							that fill this role, the best being Vanadis who's 
							able to summon Odin off of just herself.
 Now, what do you get aside from a 4000 attack body? 
							Well, Once per turn, Odin can make himself 
							unaffected by spell and trap effects until the end 
							of the turn. It would have been better as a quick 
							effect as there aren't many plays the opponent can 
							make that Odin can deal with otherwise. Secondly, if 
							he's destroyed by battle or an opponents card 
							effect, during the end phase you can banish a Nordic 
							Ascendent from your grave and special summon him. 
							Then, if he's special summoned by his own effect, 
							you can draw 1 card.
 
 Both are powerful effects, yet balanced in a way. 
							Unfortunately, the protection effect doesn't let him 
							actively respond to threats, and the revival effect 
							is heavily limited to running a Nordic Ascendent 
							deck. There was a time when Odin was a competitive 
							synchro monster, and decks were taking full 
							advantage of being able to put a 4000 monster on the 
							field with very little trouble. Those days have 
							passed now, and the All-father is resting.
 
 Advanced 3/5 He's good for putting pressure on the 
							opponent, but needs a pure Ascendent deck built 
							aroun him to take full advantage.

 | With Father's Day being yesterday, it is only 
							fitting we review Odin here.
 Odin is a level 10 Synchro requiring a Nordic 
							Ascendant Tuner and 2+ non-Tuners. Once per turn, 
							you can make this card unaffected by Spell/Trap 
							effects until the end of the turn. This could of 
							just honestly been built-in without having to 
							activate it just to fall into a Solemn Strike, but I 
							guess you might need cards to boost this guy up as 
							4000 ATK isn't enough... sarcasm.  During the 
							End Phase, if this card on the field was destroyed 
							by your opponent, you can banish a Nordic Ascendant 
							Tuner to revive him. Reviving him is nice
 
 This guy is a good boss monster for a deck, but the 
							problem is that the deck doesn't summon him with the 
							greatest of ease and no other deck can make use of 
							him, so that hurts his score.
 
 Advanced Rating: 2.5/5
