This is one of the main reasons we run Snow-Covered Mountains in our deck: we can take advantage of this odd, yet situationally amazing, effect. Just like Glacial Chasm, It protects us from dying to an opponent's combat phase. We can also play politics and use it to save another person from lethal, on the condition they agree to accept Norin in their heart by becoming his personal slave.

Ergo, we come equipped with ample boardwipes, to cleanse the field of these persistent non-believers. Norin appreciates it when the scary things go away. It's also show of our devotion to our Lord. In demonstrating his greatness, Norin somehow narrowly escapes the grip of death each time with an ancient technique he prefers to call, \"proactively dodging\". That's why we run no shortage of six - count 'em, six! - of the best board wipes available in red. Only for you, O' Chosen One!

We get the copter card online every turn by simply tapping Norin before he leaves the field.

I decided to focus more on winning through controlled chaos rather than aggressive swarm; I believe the former to be both the more synergistic and thematic strength of what a Norin deck is all about. Ergo: we are hipster nonconformists. That means you must build your deck exactly the way I tell you to. Tis the only way to break the mold. Normies are gonna norm.\n"}]}
