until a good explanation can be made for why not all Prophecy monsters have the same stats as Yugi's monsters, removing the connections

'''"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]] based around "[[Spellbook]]" [[Spell Card]]s. It is supported exclusively by "[[Stoic of Prophecy]]". It is used by [[Kev Ravenwood]] in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]] '' anime.
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]], none receive support and lack synergy with the Deck.
Each Prophecy Monster is based on a [[wikipedia:Tarot|Tarot]] card of the [[wikipedia:Major Arcana|Major Arcana]]. 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 Prophecy monsters make reference to French-language tarot decks.
Several Prophecy monsters have also share the same ATK/DEF values as several of [[Yugi Muto]]'s signature monsters, while many others match monsters used by other characters of the era.
