First Steps: Nordice Archetype (20/02/2024)

[Blai Barrachina Nebot]

Hello everyone, this is my first attempt at creating an archetype. There are surely some spelling mistakes and I will have to improve the card structure to make some effects easier to understand. The Nordriss (Nord + Ice in Ancient Norse) are very slightly inspired by vikings, but very deformed with classic medieval fantasy. The card arts are 100% created with AI. The strategy of the Nordriss archetype is focused on battle and counters, although they have good protection capabilities and other resources.
