 "'''"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 "Spellbook"-related "Prophecy Monster " monster is based on a [[wikipedia:Tarot|Tarot]] card of the [[wikipedia:Major Arcana|Major Arcana]]. "[[Crowley, the First Propheseer]]" being the "creator" of the "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 the these "Prophecy " monsters make reference to the [[Wikipedia:Tarot of Marseilles|Tarot of Marseilles]] French-language tarot deckdecks. {| class="wikitablesortable"!

 Several other cards include {{Ruby|魔|ま}}{{Ruby|導|どう}} in their Japanese names and are thus technically a part of this archetype. Examples include "[[Armor Exe]]", "[[Defender, the Magical Knight]]", "[[Magical Scientist]]", etc. However, these cards do not have effects relating to "[[Spellbook]]" cards so they are seldom of use to the Deck as they lack synergy. ==Playing Stylestyle==The archetype focuses on [[Spellcaster]]-[[Type]] monsters and the effects and presence of "[[Spellbook]]" Spell Cards. "Spellbook" cards focus on creating advantage, like raising a monster's ATK ("[[Spellbook of Power]]"), protecting monsters, ("[[Spellbook of Wisdom]]"), or Xyz Summoning ("[[Spellbook of Life]]"), and manipulating the amount on the field, in the hand and in the [[Graveyard]] to activate effects. ==Spellbook Recycle=Recommended cards==={{Decklist|Recommended cards|effect monsters =A loop is possible using "* [[High Priestess Fool of Prophecy]]" that can ensure the monster gains 1000 ATK every turn, provided that she destroys a monster. You also need "[[Spellbook of Power]]" and "[[Alma Spellbook]]". Have "High Priestess of Prophecy" on the field, then play "Spellbook of Power". When it is in the Graveyard, use "High Priestess of Prophecy" to banish the Spellbook then attack to destroy a monster. The effect of "Spellbook of Power" activates and you can search for "Alma Spellbook". Next turn you can use "Alma Spellbook" to add "Spellbook of Power" to your hand. This loop can be prolonged by using "* [[The Grand Spellbook Tower]]" to return "Alma Spellbook" to your Deck. If you need to dump Spellbook cards into your grave for whatever reason this can be possible by searching for "Spellbook of Secrets" instead of "Spellbook of Power". Then you can use "Spellbook of Secrets" to search for "Spellbook or Power" to continue the loop or a separate "[[Spellbook]]" card if needed.  This loop is easily broken if you cannot destroy a card with the effect of "High Priestess of Prophecy" or cannot destroy a monster by battle. However if this is your situation you may use the same technique to reuse "Spellbook" cards by banishing needed cards instead, then adding them to your hand via "Alma Spellbook".  Used in conjuction with "[[Spell Absorption]]" this loop can potentially be an extra 1000 life points every turn and an extra card in every standby phase. Another way to recycle Spellbook of Power is with "* [[The Grand Spellbook Tower]]" and "[[Spellbook Justice of SecretsProphecy]]". Play "Spellbook of Power", use it to search for "Spellbook of Secrets". Then use "La Maison" to put "Spellbook of Power" back into the deck. You can also perform a mini-loop using * [[Strength Reaper of Prophecy]], by summoning it, and using Spellbook of Power to bring Strength to 2500 attack. Next you can use Strength's effect to recycle Power from the grave to bring itself to 3000 attack. Then attack a monster and destroy it to add a Spellbook of Secrets from the deck via Spellbook of Power. ==Recommended Cards=={{Decklist||monsters =
