{{Quote|The archetype's tagline in promotional material|We take magic commissions.}}"'''Witchcrafter'''", known as "'''Witchcraft'''" (ウィッチクラフト ''Wicchikurafuto'') in the ''[[OCG]]'', is an [[archetype]] of monsters introduced in ''[[Deck Build Pack: Infinity Chasers]]''/''[[The Infinity Chasers]]''. It is described as being a "[[Spellcaster]] theme that uses in-hand [[Spell Card]]s to employ various effects."<ref>{{cite web|url = https://ygorganization.com/chasingthedream/|title = Deck Build Pack – Infinity Chasers Themes Confirmed|publisher = The Organization|date = December 4, 2018|access-date = December 4, 2018}}</ref>.==Lore==<div style={{Main|Master Guide 6 card storylines#The Guild that Excels at Magical Craftsmanship: "float:rightWitchcrafter">[[File:Crest-Witchcraft.png|thumb|The Valuable Book EX 2 card storylines#"WitchcraftHaine" Struggles Acting as the "Madame" crest.]]</div>!}}
==Etymology==
<div style="float:right">[[File:Crest-Witchcrafter.png|thumb|125px|The "Witchcrafter" crest.]]</div>The names of the "WitchcraftWitchcrafter" monsters seem to be named after are based on various words in other languages related to artisan crafts. Also craftsmanship and artistry; the name of the archetype is a portmanteau of "craftwitchcraft" in and "Witchcraftcrafter" refers to the fact that they are craftsmen. {| class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align:center"
