[Written] Celtic Mythology Set

[Lord Bard]

                                                                                            

 

First off I would like to say sorry for not being able to post pictures, i will do it as soon as possible for now i will leave it in written format. The thing is i like celtic mythology, and i think that their life, however it was, it was with nature. Even their gods leaved in woods, in trees, in streams, waterfalls and such. They believed in a paralel world, where Gods and other creatures leaved, thats why i used banishing method to do it as much as closer to their beliefs. I am almost sure that no comments will be here but idc, I will continue the set and make some more deitys and ofcourse their soldiers and heroes. And lets not forget the druids, those are their preasts.

In the Mythological Cycle of early Irish literature, the four treasures (or jewels) of the Tuatha Dé Danann are four magical items which the mythological Tuatha Dé Danann are supposed to have brought with them from the four island cities Murias, Falias, Gorias and Findias, when they arrived in Ireland. So I made them into cards:

Normal Spell Card

Activate this card only if you control a Warrior-Type monster. Target 1 Warrior-Type monster you control; Toss a coin and call it: If you call it right, that monster gains 200 ATK x its own level.[/spoiler]

 

When Christianity came, Celtic gods got demoted into fairies. But fairies in Celtic culture are wing-less and they often cannot kill humans, but they can use their mystic powers to charm them and hypnotize them. And i wanted to represent these fairies as fast as posibble, since Gods are slow, but with these you are able to sacrifice them and summon Gods. So now my set has some stability.

When a Warrior-Type monster you control is targeted by a card effect; You can Special Summon this card to your field: Negate the effect. Once per turn: You can target 1 face-up monster on the field; increase its Level by 1. (This remains even if this card leaves the field.)[/spoiler]

Cool idea and a good job with the writteness
But I want to ask why are they all lvl1 unless that was a mistake

[Cosmo.]

These are really cool! There are a few typos here and there though, but nothing major. I'd love to see more of these, since i'm a Mythology geek.

Also artworks aren't mandatory, if you don't find anything suitable you can just keep these as Written

[Lord Bard]

The thing is, i made them lvl 1 because it would be no fair if some decks are banished based, and use Altars for their own sake to bring back monsters. Or if bottomless hits something you can bring it back. So i thought that i make them lvl 1 with no Summoning avaliable just so you can revive them using sacrifices :D

I found some artworks but didnt wanted to put them here, also except more of them, princess Budica and i will try to even make King Arthur. Excpect that Red Dragon on Welsh flag to become a monster too. I have a huge plan :D

[ShimoHkun1]

Well I thought making the levels wouldn't matter if you couldn't normal summon them because as they are they are anti gravity bind so maybe a little change

[Lord Bard]

Added Mach, Morrigan and Badb, The Doom Triplets. Expect more and please comment and rate.

[Cosmo.]

They seem fine like the others, the only problem is how do you summon them? Since the pagan altar cards summon only banished level 1 monsters

[Lord Bard]

Now they are able to be summoned, i wanted to keep them separated because they are the triplets(level 3) obvious. So next up expect Four Threasures of the Tuatha De Danann.

[Lord Bard]

As mentioned above I made four treasures altho they need some tweaking, but will get to that later, so BUMPing. Next up we will get some villains, and that red dragon. :D


Added some Fairy cards. Since celts divide them into 5 categories each of them got their own card. I will talk abou them more later for now you can check the effects.
