Celtic Guardian's Revival

[Nu-Mou Knight]

Celtic Guardian, one of the many under-appreciated monsters of the first few Yu-Gi-Oh years. Well, the only real reason he was appreciated is because he looks cool and for the Obnoxious Celtic Guard. I'm here to fix that. I have an Archetype here inspired by Celtic Guardian, which not only works with him and his retooled counterpart, but supports itself pretty well as a whole. (On paper at least, I haven't tested it yet.) Any helpful comments are appreciated, and this will be updated fairly regularly if people stay interested.

 

[spoiler=Celtic Army Monsters][spoiler=Regular Monsters]

[Quest Zero]

Celtic gaurdian support? Me likes :3 Glad to see someone is trying to revive our dead soldier. Nice cards.

 

8/10

[Nu-Mou Knight]

Thanks Quest. I do what I can. :) I'm considering doing a written set for another favorite card of mine, but that'll have to wait.

[ragnarok1945]

for Celtic Hunter, Shrink works better, and maybe even Skull Dice could do similarly

 

Axe Wielder might be a bit too much though. Negating the def of ANY monster seems a bit much. You should have put a limit on how much def this applies to and all that (that way you can't just negate like a 2500 def monster)

[Nu-Mou Knight]

Axe Wielder:

When this card attacks a Defense Position monster, negate any DEF gains of the opposing monster. This card inflicts Piercing Battle Damage.

 

I'm not taking away DEF power, just anything that the opponent has added to it. For instance, should my opponent use the effect of a Defense Position Six Sam - Enishi [DEF: 700] (ignore the fact that he wouldn't be in defense position) and it gains 500 DEF, that gain would be negated, bringing him back to 700 DEF.

 

For Hunter, I realize that isn't exactly original, but I wanted someone to physically help out the Guardian. I was considering altering it though, so I suppose I'll change it to something a bit more pleasing.

 

Thanks for taking the time to look over my cards. If I may ask though, could you give me a concise score for these? I'm curious about your opinion of the set as a whole.

[Nu-Mou Knight]

Dang, Realistic goes fast, huh? Bump

[Nu-Mou Knight]

Pweeze? It's only 16 cards. Much less than other sets I've done.

[Nu-Mou Knight]

Alrighty, I've changed Celtic Hunter's support effect. Here is the changed part:

 

When a "Celtic Guardian" you control is targeted for an attack, you can discard 1 card to negate the attack and decrease the attacking monster's ATK by 400 points.

 

You can also see it in the OP. I'm still looking for a bit more interest before adding to this. If you'd like to see more from this set, I'd ask for you to post with a small critique.

[RoaringSilence0]

I love these cards! The first few years of Yu-Gi-Oh are my favorite! I love the old OCG! 9.9/10.

[Nu-Mou Knight]

Thanks a bunch Sonic. :) I'm not a real fan of the new-new OCG, but I'll have to change eventually. Might as well make that time last. :D

[Newsd]

In The First YGH Celtic Guardian Was My First Card And So I Really Love Celtic Guardian Im Glad Their Back 9/10

[Nu-Mou Knight]

Thank you as well Newsd. I actually sort of remember my first yu-gi-oh cards that I ever got, almost 9 years ago...I believe it contained The 13th Grave, Basic Insect, Armaill, and Hand Destruction. Might have had Red Eyes B. Dragon in there too. Thanks for the comment :)

[Nu-Mou Knight]

Alright, I've gone ahead and updated the set. The addition includes 2 quite useful Effect Monsters, the Mercenary and the Cryptkeeper, as well as a new Spell and a Trap, "Hunter in Hiding" and "Casting of Armaments" respectively. I've also tried including 2 rare monster SubTypes; a Gemini in the form of "Celtic Blademaster", and a Spirit monster in the form of the Goddess of Suffering. I've changed the wording for them each a tiny bit, to cancel out a few of their weaknesses. Gemini (should) stay treated as an Effect Monster while face-down, allowing his effect to stay alive through "Book of Moon"; Spirit is allowed to be Special Summoned for a small LP cost, which is lessened if she was Normal Summoned first.

[ragnarok1945]

from Cryptkeeper why make it 100 atk and 200 def, why not just 100 atk AND def?

[Nu-Mou Knight]

from Cryptkeeper why make it 100 atk and 200 def, why not just 100 atk AND def?

 

I wanted him to be a bit more defensive. That's the mindset I had when developing him. The small stat difference should tell you that.

[Nu-Mou Knight]

Bump

[Nu-Mou Knight]

I guess the set's just too perfect to need help from anyone :P

[ragnarok1945]

you going to have more to the set added here soon?

[Nu-Mou Knight]

If you'd like more, I'd be happy to add them. It just that you were the only one to comment since the last update, and I wanted to take care of them before going further.

[ragnarok1945]

sometimes they come slowly, but yes I'd want to see more

[Nu-Mou Knight]

Bumpers. I'm working on new cards for this set. So far, I have 12 new ones that will be put up by tomorrow.

[Nu-Mou Knight]

Update, it hath come once more. There're 15 more cards now, including a circle of "Golem" Ritual Monsters and a milling power-house, a Synchro known as "SoulGuard". We also have our first Tuner, who I believe could pass for a Lightsworn: Celtic Light Maiden. We also have another Synch, the Angelic General. There's also a few more Spells and Traps, and more Support in Celtic Ranger. I also have a few monsters that go back to this set's roots: Celtic Peasant and Cavalry. Feel free to browse, comment, etc.

[ragnarok1945]

should have put a NEW next to the updated cards, makes it easier for us to find

[Nu-Mou Knight]

Large, green "new" tags set above all new cards. Also, I just realized I forgot to add in the General for some reason.

[ragnarok1945]

for Witch's Lightning, "Tribute 1 monster you control to destroy up to 3 monsters your opponent controls whose Level is equal to or less than that of the Tributed monster."

 

I'm guessing this means the 3 monsters levels EACH equal or less than the tributed monster, right?
