The myth
Loki is the trickster of Norse myth, son of the giant Fárbauti and of Laufey, yet counted among the Æsir and Odin's blood-brother. He helps the gods as much as he endangers them: he obtains the dwarves' treasures, brings Iðunn back, gives birth to Sleipnir. With the giantess Angrboða he fathers Fenrir, Jörmungandr and Hel. He causes Baldr's death and insults every god in Lokasenna, until he is bound beneath the venomous serpent. At Ragnarök he fights against the gods, and he and Heimdall kill each other.
Why it has this power
A level 7 Epic with ATK 2600 and DEF 2200. The Fire element follows an old and debated link between Loki and fire. Sun and Fox, for cunning. Loki is the fjord's most versatile fusion card: with Garmr he makes Fenrir, with the Daughter of Jörmungandr he makes the Serpent, and with Svaðilfari he makes Sleipnir.
Did you know
At the court of Útgarða-Loki, Loki loses an eating contest to one Logi, whose name means flame: it was fire itself.
