written Celtic Guardian archetype

[Mimighoul Yuma]

The "Celtic Guardian" archetype could center around a series of EARTH Warrior type monsters with an emphasis on swift attacks, precise strikes, and evasion mechanics. Their strategy revolves around gaining momentum through quick, successive attacks and being able to avoid destruction or counter enemy moves. This archetype builds on the flavor of the classic "Celtic Guardian" while modernizing it for competitive play with synergy and swift, strategic gameplay.
