 "'''Prophecy'''", known as "'''Magical'''" ({{Ruby|魔|ま}}{{Ruby|導|どう}} ''Madō'') in the ''[[OCG]]'', is an [[archetype]] of mostly [[Spellcaster]]-[[Type]] [[Monster Card|monsters]] with [[Card effect|effects]] s based around "[[Spellbook]]" [[Spell Card]]s. It is supported exclusively by "[[Stoic of Prophecy]]"."[[Hierophant of Prophecy (anime)|Hierophant of Prophecy]]" is used by [[Kev Ravenwood]] in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'' anime.==Lore=={{Main|Gagaga Academy Tospedia card storylines#"Primer on the Prophecy's Facilities" Edition|Master Guide 4 card storylines#File No. 04: The Wisdom of the Latest Magical Research, and the Fate of One Boy|Master Guide 6 card storylines#File No. 08: The People Living in the Magical Nation Centered Around "Endymion"}}==Naming==Due to their Japanese names containing {{Ruby|魔|ま}}{{Ruby|導|どう}}, a number of older cards, such as "[[Armor Exe]]" ("Magical Armor Exe") and "[[Dark Paladin]]" ("Super-Magical Swordsman - Black Paladin"), also fall into this archetype. Even some cards released after "Stoic of Prophecy", such as "[[Ebon Illusion Magician]]", that fall into this archetype do not include "Prophecy" in their English names. However, because ''TCG'' and ''OCG'' support for this archetype only works on [[Level 3 Monster Cards]] in the [[Main Deck]], most do not qualify for it and lack synergy with the Deck.Each of them "Spellbook"-related "Prophecy" monster is based on the a [[Wikipediawikipedia:Tarot |Tarot]] card of Marseillesthe [[wikipedia:Major Arcana|Tarot Major Arcana]]. "[[Crowley, the First Propheseer]]" being the "creator" of Marseillesthe "Prophecy" monsters shows that they're based on the [[wikipedia:Thoth tarot deck|Thoth tarot deck]]. The English names come from the [[wikipedia:Rider-Waite tarot deck|Rider-Waite tarot deck]]which uses the names "The High Priestess" and "The Hierophant" instead of "The Popesse" and "The Pope" which is found in other decks. The Japanese names of these "Prophecy" monsters make reference to French-language tarot decks. {| class="wikitablesortable"! Card English full name! Japanese given name
