Nothing about this seems Norse to me.

Hm. The first line seems like a much worse (i.e. fixed) version of Stoneforge Mystic - I guess it's more in line with Stonehewer Giant or Taj-Nar Swordsmith. And the second... doesn't have anything to refer to at all at the moment, right?

Doesn't especially resonate to me, beyond "dwarves are smiths, right?"

Personally I think they are more Blue/Black - master craftsmen who think only of their craft, themselves, and gold - not necessarily in that order. They do have some white aspects - very strict rules and contracts, and some red which they are careful to make as ambiguous as possible so they have more leeway and some red - payment RIGHT NOW up front, no refunds, don't get them angry.
In Magic they have historically been red tying in to their mountain homes.
D&D style Dwarves I see as Red/White/Blue
Norse mythology definitely Blue/Black in the main.
But then, that is only my personal view and the Dwarves in my Aerikal block are Red/Blue master smiths and grudge bearers who neither forget or forgive a slight. They are also about individual battle prowess hence Warriors instead of Soldiers.

In the majority of the stories they appear, they have a tendency to be master blacksmiths. That isn't to say they can't be avaricious or selfish... and there is a connection between them and Giants in Norse myth, which are clearly more red/green. But what's with the haunting in nightmares stuff? Does that come from somewhere?

i see Norse dwarves as red/black. also some haunt ppl in their dream/nightmare.

You got it. One Master Scrapsmith for all your dwarfing needs.

amuseum requested a Norse Dwarf, so here's one for Challenge # 086.

2013-08-29 14:49:32: Link commented on Hero's Hammer

Ah, yes. You're probably right.
2013-08-29 11:21:05: Alex commented on Hero's Hammer

Nice. Resonant.

Could probably be cheaper; the "if it's legendary" restriction is harsh enough that this can probably be costed as if it was just a Bonesplitter (so / or /). Maybe / to play it safe.

Added Wolf-Eyed Raider.
2013-08-29 01:30:24: jmgariepy commented on Wolf-Eyed Raider

For Challenge # 086. Really, I wanted to design a card named 'Shieldmaiden Axehurl', since shieldmaidens are awesome. But I realized this was a good chance to make a good berserk mechanic, and that wouldn't really work for shieldmaidens. Maybe the occasional white shieldmaiden can go berserk when they block. Maybe I'll come up with a shieldmaiden later.
Made this creature a shapechanger, since the Vikings thought something was seriously wrong with berserkers, and that they really were changing form. I'm just following that thought to its logical conclusion.

I made Hero's Hammer.
2013-08-28 19:59:58: Link commented on Hero's Hammer

See Challenge # 086.
Sort of based on Mjolnir/the "thrown hammer" trope.
