"
Prophecy", known as "
Magical" (魔(ま)導(どう)
Madō) in the
OCG, is an
archetype of mostly
Spellcaster monsters with
effects based around "
Spellbook"
Spell Cards. 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 魔(ま)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.
