The '''[[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Endymion Endymion]]''' archetype is an archetype of Spellcaster-Type monsters that originated from the monster [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Endymion,_the_Master_Magician Endymion, the Master Magician]], released in ''Spellcaster's Command Structure Deck'' in 2009. Originally little more than another member of the Spell Counter Spellcasters (see the S subpage), a decade after Endymion's first release, ''Structure Deck: Order of the Spellcasters'' released in 2019 massively expanded Endymion support and turned it into a full-fledged archetype.\\\
The Endymion archetype is a hybrid of a Pendulum archetype and Spell Counter archetype. Most of these monsters are Pendulum Monsters that are able to Special Summon themselves from the Pendulum Zones, and have effects that distribute Spell Counters and use them for further effects.\\\
The lore of the Endymion archetype is directly connected to the Magistus, Prophecy, Spellbook, Invoked, Witchcrafter, and Mythical Beast archetypes.
----
* {{Egopolis}}: Endymion named the city he founded after himself.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Endymion believes that magic should have tight restrictions around its use, and thus the actual Endymion Pendulum archetype only consists of 4 monsters consisting of a tight circle he trusts; Endymion himself, his queen Reflection of Endymion, and his two most trusted knights, Magister of Endymion and Servant of Endymion.
* MeaningfulName: Selene, Queen of the Master Magicians is based on Selene, Greek goddess of the moon.
* {{Prequel}}: Both Selene and Endymion have younger counterparts of themselves in the Magistus archetype. Endymion is Magistus Master Endymion and Selene is Magistus Maiden Artemis.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spellbookofknowledge_lod2_jp_vg_artwork.png]]
The '''[[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Prophecy Prophecy]]''' cards, called '''Magical''' (魔導 ''Madō'') in the OCG, are an archetype of Spellcasters based on Tarot cards. They support and are supported by the [[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Spellbook Spellbooks]], a series of Spell cards based on famous and legendary books. Prophecy cards search out Spellbooks to be used and higher-level Prophecy monsters to use them on, as Spellbooks have versatile effects to allow flexibility in many situations while Prophecy monsters allow special summons of their stronger members.\\\
These archetypes' lore are directly connected to the lore of Invoked and Endymion, as well as other archetypes related to them. This archetype is used by Yuu Sakuragi in ''ARC-V''.
----
* AllYourPowersCombined: The sword of "Charioteer of Prophecy", one of the staves of "Stoic of Prophecy", the axe of "Strength of Prophecy" and the bow of "Amores of Prophecy" appear in "World of Prophecy"'s artwork. This makes reference to the artwork of the Tarot card, which features four creatures that represent the four elements of the natural world. The four elements being Earth, Water, Air, and Fire which are represented in this card's artwork by the weapons of Amores, Stoic, Charioteer, and Strength respectively.
%%* AntiMagic: High Priestess and Hierophant's effects
%%* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Emperor and Empress.
%%* AnAxeToGrind: Strength.
%%* BadassBeard: Hermit. He gets powered up whenever a Spellbook is used.
%%* BadassBookworm: All of them, possibly. They even made it into the top tier during the fall 2013 season.
%%* BadassPreacher: Hierophant
%%* BareYourMidriff: Both High Priestess and Empress, and possibly Strength though it's hard to tell based on the artwork.
* {{Brainwashing}}: Emperor's effect. Emperor requires a Spellbook because the Brainwashing incantation is within the Spellbook. The spell requires a sacrifice because the spell is quite powerful.
* CallBack: Emperor has more than a passing resemblance to Jack Atlus from the Yu-Gi-Oh 5DS anime. Both this card and "Empress of Prophecy" appear to possess items that feature parts resembling the Emperor's Key from the Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal anime. This could be because they represent The Empress and The Emperor of the Major Arcana cards.
* CameBackStrong: Due to the huge damages inflicted on them by "Reaper of Prophecy", the enemy forces withdrew, but "Reaper" was on the verge of death due to the out-of-control magic he was using. "Hierophant" and "Empress", unwilling to stand aside any more, were determined to try and save his life by exorcising the Dark Magic inside him by amplifying the Light Magic that existed inside him all along. At the end of the intense conflict between Holy and Wicked magic, he ended up being revived in a miracle.
* CaptainErsatz: Charioteer of Prophecy shares a resemblance to Link from The Legend of Zelda series. This is aided by the fact that he is donning green attire, has blond hair, carries a sword and rides a horse; Link owns an orange one named Epona.
* CatFolk: Wheel of Prophecy's appearance may allude to a similar figure that oversees the Wheel of Fortune in the actual Tarot, often depicted as either a human or a Sphinx-like humanoid.
* TheCorruption: "The Fool" grabbed a random magical terminal seeking power, but ended up accessing "Spellbook of the Master", a high-level "Spellbook" that brings out anything in a Magician, ranging from their best to their worst. However, he unleashed and was consumed by extremely wicked magic inside "Spellbook of the Master", corrupting and transforming him into "Reaper of Prophecy". As a result, he went on a rampage.
* DubNameChange: Prophecy in TCG.
%%* EnemySummoner: Amores and Temperance's effects.
%%* TheEmperor: Take a wild guess.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: Spellbook of the Master's art and this Reaper of Prophecy's effect suggests that this card is Fool of Prophecy possesed by Spellbook of the Master. Fool of Prophecy's ATK + 1000 (from Spellbook of Power, which can be copied by Spellbook of Sefer) = 2600 ATK which is equal to Reaper of Prophecy's ATK after using its first effect. Reaper's second effect is similar to Spellbook of Secrets effect which can also be copied by Spellbook of Sefer. Reaper's third effect is similar to Fool's effect of summoning a Level 5 or higher DARK Spellcaster-Type monster from the Deck and both needing 5 or more "Spellbook" in the Graveyard to activate the effect.
* FieryRedhead: Strength. She also has the ability to get her teammates fired up in the same way as her.
* TheFool: Fool of Prophecy. Like the Tarot card, the Fool of Prophecy goes on a journey and becomes the Reaper of Prophecy and the World of Prophecy.
%%* FusionDance: Emperor, Empress and Hierophant
* GodzillaThreshold: Spellbook of Judgement is, simply put, one of the best cards ever printed in the game's history, its existence alone being able to make Prophecy a potent deck - so much so, that it was as meta relevant as the ''Dragon Rulers'' in their prime, with the Spell having come out around the same time as them. It would likely have been banned even swifter in any other format, but was allowed for enough time that Prophecy was the only deck truly able to compete with the infamous Dragon Rulers deck at the time, in turn making itself a near tier 0 deck.
* GreatOffscreenWar: A war between the Prophecy archetype and Endymion archetype over conflicting views on how magic should be controlled is only ever mentioned in lore books and not explicitly spelled outright in card illustrations.
* HeroicSacrifice: Many members of this archetype sacrificed their lives during the invasion of Endymion, the Master Magician, and his forces.
* InTheHood: Temperance, who is actually a green haired woman as seen on the artwork of "Spellbook of Life."
* LadyOfBlackMagic: High Priestess can banish 1 Spellbook Spell card from the hand or Graveyard to destroy 1 card on the field.
* LivingBattery: The power source for the "Grand Spellbook Tower" as seen in "Spellbook Star Hall" is actually "Crowley, the First Propheseer", an older version of Aelister the Invoker partially transformed into "Invoked Caligula".
* MagicalLibrary: The Grand Spellbook Tower is an educational research facility that has produced many excellent sorcerers who specialize in a variety of fields from means of combat to technological developments. Its library has a great collection of many "Spellbooks" with knowledge collected throughout the ages. A small portion of these books are now available to the general Spellcaster public.
%%* MagicKnight: Chariot.
* {{Magitek}}: The spellbooks themselves aren't really paper books, but more like computer tablets and the libraries are more like computer servers that can be accessed to write its contents to the spellbook as well as to update the contents of the spellbooks as new discoveries are made.
* NamedAfterSomeoneFamous: Crowley, Origin of Prophecy, is based on Aleister Crowley. He's the older version of Alister the Invoked.
* OddNameOut: Prophecy Destroyer does not follow the naming scheme of the other "Prophecy" monsters, which is "(Tarot) of Prophecy". This wouldn't be the first time a monster namd after The Devil of the Major Arcana would have its named changed like this, as the Arcana Force monster would be renamed to The Fiend.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Despite being a Spellcaster, Prophecy Destroyer strongly resembles a Fiend-Type monster. It's likely that he is meant to be the devil arcana of the group. In addition, Prophecy Destroyer is also "odd artwork out", being the only one to have a completely different art style than other "Prophecy" monsters for its artwork.
* PhotographicMemory: The "Spellbook Libraries" are full of the knowledge of Light and Darkness respectively, using magical energy itself as a medium to record information. As the manager of both these "Spellbook Libraries", Spellbook Magician of Prophecy has stored all of their knowledge within his own brain. Because of this, he is able to manifest "Spellbook" data into physical form by himself.
* PowerCreep: Spellbook of Judgment is an extremely powerful and flexible card -- leading to it being banned.
* RoseHairedSweetie: High Priestess. She may look gentle, but her knowledge over books makes her a powerful force within the archetype.
* SigilSpam: All of the members including the Spellbooks have a mirror-like crest on them somewhere which seems to be the official symbol of the Prophecy archetype.
* SpellBook: Most of their effects rely on these so they work properly. In other words, they could have written these books to power themselves up. They are also named after famous books.
* SpiritualSuccessor: To several old-school monsters, most notably ones used by Yugi Muto. High Priestess, Hierophant, Empress, World and Destroyer have similar stats and levels to Dark Magician, Dark Magician of Chaos, Dark Magician Girl, Dark Paladin and Summoned Skull respectively, with the deck itself being able to make use of Silent Magician quite effectively, to the point of seeing meta relevancy in Duel Links.
%%* StatusBuff: Strength's specialty.
* TarotMotifs: The Prophecy monsters are themed after this, after the Arcana Force's incomplete showing.
* ThemeNaming: Each character of the "Prophecy" archetype is based on a Tarot card.
%%* TookALevelInBadass: Chain Thrasher --> DD Survivor --> Neo the Magical Swordsman -->Magical Swordsman Chariot
* WasOnceAMan: The Destroyer itself is neither man nor beast, warped beyond recognition by the immortality granted to it by the Spellbooks.

[[caption-width-right:300:[[WebVideo/Rank10YGO He's opening up the gates to heaven, and he's not responsible for what falls out.]]]]
The '''[[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Invoked Invoked]]''', known as '''Invoked Beast''' (召喚獣 ''Shōkanjū'') in the OCG, are an archetype of Fusion Monsters. All of them have similar requirements for their summoning, necessitating the use of [[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Aleister_the_Invoker Aleister the Invoker]] and any one monster of their respective Attribute. The sole exception is their ace, Elysium, which requires another Invoked as well as any monster that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck.\\\
Due to those requirements, the interactions between Aleister and Invocation as well as the latter being able to use monsters from the player's hand, field and either player's graveyard, the Invoked can easily be included in other decks.\\\
The Invoked archetype is lore-wise directly connected to the Endymion and Magistus archetypes, and their related archetypes.
----
* AntiMagic: Mechaba's effect is a stronger version of the card [[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Ultimate_Providence Ultimate Providence]], allowing it to negate the activation of a monster's effect, spell card or trap card and banish them at the cost of discarding a card of the same type from the hand.
* ContinuityNod: Crowley the Origin of Prophecy is an older version of Aleister the Invoker belonging to the Prophecy archetype, connecting the Prophecy and Invoked archetypes together.
* DemonOfHumanOrigin: The fact that Caliga shares the same ATK, DEF, Attribute, and Level as Aleister-plus the similar clothing—implies it is a mutated Aleister. Later confirmed by Aleister the Invoker of Madness's card art, which shows him turning into Caliga.
* EldritchAbomination: Elysium can best be described as a mechanical brain the size of a city with a spinal cord to match. Given that its card art shows the ''curvature of the planet'', it's easily scores of kilometers high—if not ''hundreds''.
* BigThinShortTrio: Invoked Purgatrio is composed of 3 beings with these body compositions.
* LivingStructureMonster: Aleister's connection to the Prophecy archetype is further underscored with Invoked Augoeides, who appears to be a fusion of it and The Grand Spellbook Tower.
* LoopholeAbuse: Purgatrio's abilities to gain ATK and attack multiple times in one turn are Continuous effects, and therefore not prevented by Caliga's restrictive effects.
* MythologyGag:
** Invocation's ability to Fusion Summon using monsters in any player's Graveyard is reminiscent of Jim Crocodile Cook's Fossil Fusion from ''Anime/YuGiOhGX''.
** The Invoked as a whole have some similarity to the Shaddoll archetype, in that they have one Fusion Monster for every Attribute (whose names are also derived from [[ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming religious themes]]) as well; these can also be Fusion Summoned by using an opponent's monster as Material.
** During the Link era, Aleister would join the Prophecy archetype as Crowley, the First Propheseer. It's a nod to the Prophecy/Invoked hybrid decks.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Caliga's OCG name, Caligula, references the Roman emperor of the same name. Aleister is named after the famous occultist Creator/AleisterCrowley.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Augoeides is a Fairy-type monster resembling a humanoid version of the Grand Spellbook Tower. The Fairy type is known as Angel in the OCG, meaning this monster is considered an angel—doubly so, as Augoeides is named after Alister Crowley's Holy Guardian Angel.
* PowerLimiter: Not only does Caliga's effect prevent each player from activating more than one monster effect per turn, but it also prevents each player from attacking with more than one monster per turn.
* {{Prequel}}: Aleister has a younger version of himself in the Magistus archetype known as Magistus Grimoire Crowley.
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: The names of most of the Invoked are derived from mythologies or religions.
* ShoutOut: The support cards for the archetype are based on the works of Creator/AleisterCrowley, with Aleister the Invoker being named after Crowley himself.
* StatusBuff: Aleister can be discarded to give a Fusion Monster 1000 ATK and DEF for a turn. Similarly, Augoeides can banish a Fusion Monster from your Graveyard to gain its ATK until the end of your opponent's turn.
* StoneWall: Cocytus has 2900 DEF—quite high for a Level 6 monster—and can neither be targeted nor destroyed by an opponent's card effects. It also has the ability to attack while in Defense Position. It stops short of being a MightyGlacier, however, as its 1800 ATK does little damage on its own.
* SummonMagic: Thematically, the Invoked are creatures summoned by Aleister.
* {{Unperson}}: According to Master Guide 6, Aleister was erased from magical history as the Grand Spellbooks Tower was constructed.
* UnskilledButStrong: Magellanica has 3000 ATK and 3300 DEF—very strong for a Level 8 monster—but it has no effect.
* WeakButSkilled: Caliga, the lowest-leveled Fusion Monster, has one of the most disruptive effects in the archetype, and perhaps even the whole game.

'''[[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Witchcrafter Witchcrafter]]''', or simply '''Witchcraft''' in the OCG, is an archetype consisting of two parts: Spellcasters that can discard Spells from the hand during either player's turn, Tribute themselves to Special Summon other Witchcrafts, or banish themselves and other Spells from the Graveyard to activate their effects; and Spells that can add themselves from the Graveyard to the hand during the End Phase if their effects were not activated that turn, and a Witchcraft monster is on their field.
The archetype's lore is directly connected to the Endymion, Spellbook, Invoked, and Magistus archetypes.
----
* AllYourPowersCombined: Aruru has all six girls' crafts on her body and/or weapons.
* AmazonBrigade: All of them are female.
* BlackBraAndPanties: Schmitta's wearing a black bra underneath her blouse.
* TheBlacksmith: Schmitta, with a side of WrenchWench thrown in.
* BroughtDownToNormal: By discarding a Spell, Master Verre can negate any enemy monsters' effects that turn.
* CatSmile: Master Verre sports a particularly smug-looking one.
* DiscardAndDraw: Inverted with Pittore, who can draw a card by banishing itself from your Graveyard and discarding a Spell. The downside is this requires you to discard a Witchcraft card as well—and if you don't have anything to discard, it banishes your entire hand.
* FieryRedhead: Schmitta, who is also a FIRE monster.
* {{Golem}}:
** Poterie's artwork shows a few of them.
** Aruru, their boss monster's title is Golem. She was made in the artwork of Witchcraft Masterpiece.
* LoopholeAbuse: Genie's second effect allows the player to get around the once per turn restriction of the spell card by changing said effect into that of the banished spell card.
* MeaningfulName: "Witchcrafter" can be considered a portmanteau of "witch" and "crafter", both in reference to the monsters' Spellcaster Type and the "craft" (i.e. sewing, metalworking or glassblowing) each one is named after.
** Their individual names actually relate to the craft they represent.
* NoSell: Haine prevents any other friendly Spellcasters from being targeted by card effects.
* {{Prequel}}: Madame Verre has a counterpart of herself in Magistus archetype in the form of Magistus Verre Cendrillon. For some unexplained reason, Verre Cendrillion is visibly older than her Witchcrafter counterpart.
* StatusBuff: Master Verre lets you reveal as many different Spells in your hand as you want if a fellow Spellcaster battles—including itself—then gives that Spellcaster an extra 1000 ATK/DEF for each revealed Spell that turn.
* SummonBiggerFish: The lower-Level members can Tribute themselves and discard a Spell to Special Summon another Witchcraft monster from the Deck.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Madame Verre has cyan, Edel has violet and Haine has grey.

[[folder:Mythical Beast]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mythicalbeastmastercerberus_lod2_jp_vg_artwork.png]]
'''[[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Mythical_Beast Mythical Beast]]''' is an archetype of Spellcaster-Type monsters that was de facto introduced in ''Extreme Force'' in 2017/8, based on the much older monster [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Mythical_Beast_Master_Cerberus Mythical Beast Cerberus]], which was introduced in ''Structure Deck: Spellcaster's Judgment'' in 2005/6.\\\
The archetype's playstyle is a variation on the old Spell Counter Spellcaster monsters (which the original Cerberus is a member of), taking advantage of the fact that Pendulum Monsters can be activated as Spell Cards. Save for the original Cerberus, all Mythical Beasts are Pendulum Monsters with Pendulum Scale 4. They have Monster Effects to gain Spell Counters when Spells are activated, and can remove them to activate various effects. Their Pendulum Effects involve destroying themselves while inside a Pendulum Zone—and with no other cards in your Pendulum Zone—for much the same.\\\
The archetype's lore is directly connected to the Endymion archetype, who is similarily an old Spell Counter Spellcaster monster expanded into a full Pendulum/Spell Counter archetype.
----
* AscendedExtra: Mythical Beast Cerberus, while otherwise unremarkable, later got an archetype based upon it and an upgraded form that serves as the archetype's boss monster, Mythical Beast Master Cerberus.
* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: Despite being an archetype of Pendulum Monsters, the archetype's design intentionally prohibits Pendulum Summoning. They all share the same middling Pendulum Scale of 4, making it impossible to Pendulum Summon with themselves and ineffective at working with other scales. Their Pendulum Effects can only activate if there isn't a card on the other Pendulum Zone, and involve self-destruction. They are really just Pendulum Monsters because it works with the Spell Counter mechanic.
* MixAndMatchCritters: All the Mythical Beasts save for Jackal and Jackal King appear to be animals that have been made into chimeras with pieces of Mythical Beast Jackal sticking out of them. Even Master Cerberus appears to be a complete fusion of Cerberus and Jackal, having the physical appearance of Cerberus but the coloration and markings of Jackal.

[[folder:Magistus]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/magistus.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:300:This is the story of the beginning.]]
'''[[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Magistus Magistus]]''' is an archetype of monsters with various Types (primarily Spellcaster) and Attributes that utilize multiple Summoning methods. The archetype focuses on equipping its various Extra Deck monsters to other monsters as Equip Cards, and in doing so, can access various boons that are granted to the equipped monster.\\\
Lore-wise, the archetype is related to the Endymion, Invoked, and Witchcrafter archetypes, and its Main Deck monsters appear to depict younger versions of Endymion, the Master Magician, Aleister the Invoker, and Witchcrafter Madame Verre, thus establishing that all of their respective archetypes occur in the same universe. The archetype's storyline is thus a {{Prequel}} to the storylines depicted in those other archetypes. In line with this, the Main Deck monsters also each have effects that are beneficial to the respective archetypes they are related to, allowing them to be easily splashed into decks of those archetypes.
----
* AmbiguousSituation: While Aleister and Endymion are clearly younger versions of themselves from before their respective archetypes, it's unclear at the moment whether Rilliona is the same Verre who now runs the Witchcrafter Guild or simply a relative of hers.
* AttackAttackAttack: A monster equipped with Ninaruru can make two attacks on monsters during each Battle Phase.
* BackFromTheDead: The effect of Vritra Magistus can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Magistus monster from the Graveyard.
* DiscardAndDraw: Endymion's effect allows the controller to destroy a Spell Card they control, then draw a card and return a card from their hand to the bottom of the Deck.
* FusionDance:
** Aiwass is a Fusion Monster that uses a Magistus monster and a Spellcaster-Type monster as Fusion Materials.
** Appearance-wise, "Zoroa, the Magistus Daimon" is a fusion of the main Deck Zoroa and Vifram.
* NoSell: A monster equipped with Vahram cannot be destroyed by the opponent's Spell and Trap effects.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: If a Synchro Summoned Vahram is destroyed, all face-up cards the opponent controls are also destroyed.
* PimpedOutDress: Rilliona's Xyz evolution, the Magistus Glass Witch, wears what might just be the [[https://ms.yugipedia.com//3/3e/RillionatheMagistusGlassWitch-LIOV-JP-OP.png biggest gown]] this side of Versailles—and, as befitting the Witchcrafter she later becomes, has an equally [[SmugSmiler smug]] look on her face to match.
* PowerNullifier: If Aiwass is equipped to an opponent's monster, it changes control of that monster to the controller, and prevents that monster from activating its effects.
** Similarly, Witch Rilliona can negate the effects of any enemy monster while it's equipped to a monster.
* {{Prequel}}: The archetype's Main Deck monsters are younger versions of Endymion, the Master Magician, Aleister the Invoker, and Witchcrafter Madame Verre, thus establishing that the events which occur in its lore take place before the storylines of their respective archetypes. Artemis is also the younger form of Selene, Queen of the Master Magicians. Curiously, however, while Crowley and Endymion appear to be younger than their respective counterparts, Rilliona appears to be ''older'' than Verre.
* SixthRanger: Each of the Main Deck monsters is related to a monster from the Endymion, Invoked, or Witchcrafter archetypes, though with the exception of Endymion, none of them are actually members of the archetypes their respective counterparts belong to. Nonetheless, each of them has an effect that is beneficial to those other archetypes, allowing them to be easily splashed into decks of those archetypes.
** Crowley is a younger version of Aleister the Invoker, and has an effect that changes his Attribute to one declared by the controller for the rest of the turn. This is beneficial to the Invoked archetype, as it is comprised of Fusion Monsters, most of whom require differently Attributed monsters as Fusion Materials, allowing Crowley to serve as a valid Fusion Material for them.
** Rilliona is a younger version of Witchcrafter Madame Verre. Upon being Normal or Special Summoned, she can return one of the controller's banished Level 4 or lower Spellcaster monsters to the Graveyard. This is useful for the Magistus archetype, as both Crowley and Rilliona herself are Level 4 Spellcaster monsters that banish themselves as a cost to equip the archetype's Extra Deck monsters from the Graveyard to a target monster. However, it also has utility in a Witchcrafter deck, as all of that archetype's Level 4 or lower Spellcaster monsters banish themselves from the Graveyard as a cost to use their effects.
** Endymion is a younger version of Endymion, the Master Magician, and has an effect that allows the controller to destroy a Spell Card they control, then draw a card and return a card from their hand to the bottom of the Deck. This effect can be used to trigger the effect of Tris Magistus by destroying it, enabling the controller to Special Summon any number of Magistus monsters with different names from their hand. However, as several Endymion monsters are Pendulum Monsters, it can also be used in an Endymion deck to destroy them while they are Pendulum Scales, freeing up the Pendulum Zones for other cards.
** Zoroa is a more weird, almost ''inverted'' example in that he's the only member of the archetype in the Main Deck who hadn't previously shown up as a member of another archetype, and is primarily designed to work with the archetype without anything in specific outside of it in mind.
* StatusBuff: Aiwass grants the monster it is equipped to an additional 1000 ATK and DEF.
* TakingYouWithMe: If a Synchro Summoned Vahram is destroyed, its effect destroys all face-up cards the opponent controls.

The '''[[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Endymion Endymion]]''' archetype is an archetype of Spellcaster-Type monsters that originated from the monster [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Endymion,_the_Master_Magician Endymion, the Master Magician]], released in ''Spellcaster's Command Structure Deck'' in 2009. Originally little more than another member of the Spell Counter Spellcasters (see the S subpage), a decade after Endymion's first release, ''Structure Deck: Order of the Spellcasters'' released in 2019 massively expanded Endymion support and turned it into a full-fledged archetype.\\\
The Endymion archetype is a hybrid of a Pendulum archetype and Spell Counter archetype. Most of these monsters are Pendulum Monsters that are able to Special Summon themselves from the Pendulum Zones, and have effects that distribute Spell Counters and use them for further effects.\\\
The lore of the Endymion archetype is directly connected to the Magistus, Prophecy, Spellbook, Invoked, Witchcrafter, and Mythical Beast archetypes.
----
* {{Egopolis}}: Endymion named the city he founded after himself.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: Endymion believes that magic should have tight restrictions around its use, and thus the actual Endymion Pendulum archetype only consists of 4 monsters consisting of a tight circle he trusts; Endymion himself, his queen Reflection of Endymion, and his two most trusted knights, Magister of Endymion and Servant of Endymion.
* MeaningfulName: Selene, Queen of the Master Magicians is based on Selene, Greek goddess of the moon.
* {{Prequel}}: Both Selene and Endymion have younger counterparts of themselves in the Magistus archetype. Endymion is Magistus Master Endymion and Selene is Magistus Maiden Artemis.

The '''[[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Prophecy Prophecy]]''' cards, called '''Magical''' (魔導 ''Madō'') in the OCG, are an archetype of Spellcasters based on Tarot cards. They support and are supported by the [[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Spellbook Spellbooks]], a series of Spell cards based on famous and legendary books. Prophecy cards search out Spellbooks to be used and higher-level Prophecy monsters to use them on, as Spellbooks have versatile effects to allow flexibility in many situations while Prophecy monsters allow special summons of their stronger members.\\\
These archetypes' lore are directly connected to the lore of Invoked and Endymion, as well as other archetypes related to them. This archetype is used by Yuu Sakuragi in ''ARC-V''.
----
* AllYourPowersCombined: The sword of "Charioteer of Prophecy", one of the staves of "Stoic of Prophecy", the axe of "Strength of Prophecy" and the bow of "Amores of Prophecy" appear in "World of Prophecy"'s artwork. This makes reference to the artwork of the Tarot card, which features four creatures that represent the four elements of the natural world. The four elements being Earth, Water, Air, and Fire which are represented in this card's artwork by the weapons of Amores, Stoic, Charioteer, and Strength respectively.
%%* AntiMagic: High Priestess and Hierophant's effects
%%* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Emperor and Empress.
%%* AnAxeToGrind: Strength.
%%* BadassBeard: Hermit. He gets powered up whenever a Spellbook is used.
%%* BadassBookworm: All of them, possibly. They even made it into the top tier during the fall 2013 season.
%%* BadassPreacher: Hierophant
%%* BareYourMidriff: Both High Priestess and Empress, and possibly Strength though it's hard to tell based on the artwork.
* {{Brainwashing}}: Emperor's effect. Emperor requires a Spellbook because the Brainwashing incantation is within the Spellbook. The spell requires a sacrifice because the spell is quite powerful.
* CallBack: Emperor has more than a passing resemblance to Jack Atlus from the Yu-Gi-Oh 5DS anime. Both this card and "Empress of Prophecy" appear to possess items that feature parts resembling the Emperor's Key from the Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal anime. This could be because they represent The Empress and The Emperor of the Major Arcana cards.
* CameBackStrong: Due to the huge damages inflicted on them by "Reaper of Prophecy", the enemy forces withdrew, but "Reaper" was on the verge of death due to the out-of-control magic he was using. "Hierophant" and "Empress", unwilling to stand aside any more, were determined to try and save his life by exorcising the Dark Magic inside him by amplifying the Light Magic that existed inside him all along. At the end of the intense conflict between Holy and Wicked magic, he ended up being revived in a miracle.
* CaptainErsatz: Charioteer of Prophecy shares a resemblance to Link from The Legend of Zelda series. This is aided by the fact that he is donning green attire, has blond hair, carries a sword and rides a horse; Link owns an orange one named Epona.
* CatFolk: Wheel of Prophecy's appearance may allude to a similar figure that oversees the Wheel of Fortune in the actual Tarot, often depicted as either a human or a Sphinx-like humanoid.
* TheCorruption: "The Fool" grabbed a random magical terminal seeking power, but ended up accessing "Spellbook of the Master", a high-level "Spellbook" that brings out anything in a Magician, ranging from their best to their worst. However, he unleashed and was consumed by extremely wicked magic inside "Spellbook of the Master", corrupting and transforming him into "Reaper of Prophecy". As a result, he went on a rampage.
* DubNameChange: Prophecy in TCG.
%%* EnemySummoner: Amores and Temperance's effects.
%%* TheEmperor: Take a wild guess.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: Spellbook of the Master's art and this Reaper of Prophecy's effect suggests that this card is Fool of Prophecy possesed by Spellbook of the Master. Fool of Prophecy's ATK + 1000 (from Spellbook of Power, which can be copied by Spellbook of Sefer) = 2600 ATK which is equal to Reaper of Prophecy's ATK after using its first effect. Reaper's second effect is similar to Spellbook of Secrets effect which can also be copied by Spellbook of Sefer. Reaper's third effect is similar to Fool's effect of summoning a Level 5 or higher DARK Spellcaster-Type monster from the Deck and both needing 5 or more "Spellbook" in the Graveyard to activate the effect.
* FieryRedhead: Strength. She also has the ability to get her teammates fired up in the same way as her.
* TheFool: Fool of Prophecy. Like the Tarot card, the Fool of Prophecy goes on a journey and becomes the Reaper of Prophecy and the World of Prophecy.
%%* FusionDance: Emperor, Empress and Hierophant
* GodzillaThreshold: Spellbook of Judgement is, simply put, one of the best cards ever printed in the game's history, its existence alone being able to make Prophecy a potent deck - so much so, that it was as meta relevant as the ''Dragon Rulers'' in their prime, with the Spell having come out around the same time as them. It would likely have been banned even swifter in any other format, but was allowed for enough time that Prophecy was the only deck truly able to compete with the infamous Dragon Rulers deck at the time, in turn making itself a near tier 0 deck.
* GreatOffscreenWar: A war between the Prophecy archetype and Endymion archetype over conflicting views on how magic should be controlled is only ever mentioned in lore books and not explicitly spelled outright in card illustrations.
* HeroicSacrifice: Many members of this archetype sacrificed their lives during the invasion of Endymion, the Master Magician, and his forces.
* InTheHood: Temperance, who is actually a green haired woman as seen on the artwork of "Spellbook of Life."
* LadyOfBlackMagic: High Priestess can banish 1 Spellbook Spell card from the hand or Graveyard to destroy 1 card on the field.
* LivingBattery: The power source for the "Grand Spellbook Tower" as seen in "Spellbook Star Hall" is actually "Crowley, the First Propheseer", an older version of Aelister the Invoker partially transformed into "Invoked Caligula".
* MagicalLibrary: The Grand Spellbook Tower is an educational research facility that has produced many excellent sorcerers who specialize in a variety of fields from means of combat to technological developments. Its library has a great collection of many "Spellbooks" with knowledge collected throughout the ages. A small portion of these books are now available to the general Spellcaster public.
%%* MagicKnight: Chariot.
* {{Magitek}}: The spellbooks themselves aren't really paper books, but more like computer tablets and the libraries are more like computer servers that can be accessed to write its contents to the spellbook as well as to update the contents of the spellbooks as new discoveries are made.
* NamedAfterSomeoneFamous: Crowley, Origin of Prophecy, is based on Aleister Crowley. He's the older version of Alister the Invoked.
* OddNameOut: Prophecy Destroyer does not follow the naming scheme of the other "Prophecy" monsters, which is "(Tarot) of Prophecy". This wouldn't be the first time a monster namd after The Devil of the Major Arcana would have its named changed like this, as the Arcana Force monster would be renamed to The Fiend.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Despite being a Spellcaster, Prophecy Destroyer strongly resembles a Fiend-Type monster. It's likely that he is meant to be the devil arcana of the group. In addition, Prophecy Destroyer is also "odd artwork out", being the only one to have a completely different art style than other "Prophecy" monsters for its artwork.
* PhotographicMemory: The "Spellbook Libraries" are full of the knowledge of Light and Darkness respectively, using magical energy itself as a medium to record information. As the manager of both these "Spellbook Libraries", Spellbook Magician of Prophecy has stored all of their knowledge within his own brain. Because of this, he is able to manifest "Spellbook" data into physical form by himself.
* PowerCreep: Spellbook of Judgment is an extremely powerful and flexible card -- leading to it being banned.
* RoseHairedSweetie: High Priestess. She may look gentle, but her knowledge over books makes her a powerful force within the archetype.
* SigilSpam: All of the members including the Spellbooks have a mirror-like crest on them somewhere which seems to be the official symbol of the Prophecy archetype.
* SpellBook: Most of their effects rely on these so they work properly. In other words, they could have written these books to power themselves up. They are also named after famous books.
* SpiritualSuccessor: To several old-school monsters, most notably ones used by Yugi Muto. High Priestess, Hierophant, Empress, World and Destroyer have similar stats and levels to Dark Magician, Dark Magician of Chaos, Dark Magician Girl, Dark Paladin and Summoned Skull respectively, with the deck itself being able to make use of Silent Magician quite effectively, to the point of seeing meta relevancy in Duel Links.
%%* StatusBuff: Strength's specialty.
* TarotMotifs: The Prophecy monsters are themed after this, after the Arcana Force's incomplete showing.
* ThemeNaming: Each character of the "Prophecy" archetype is based on a Tarot card.
%%* TookALevelInBadass: Chain Thrasher --> DD Survivor --> Neo the Magical Swordsman -->Magical Swordsman Chariot
* WasOnceAMan: The Destroyer itself is neither man nor beast, warped beyond recognition by the immortality granted to it by the Spellbooks.

[[caption-width-right:300:[[WebVideo/Rank10YGO He's opening up the gates to heaven, and he's not responsible for what falls out.]]]]
The '''[[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Invoked Invoked]]''', known as '''Invoked Beast''' (召喚獣 ''Shōkanjū'') in the OCG, are an archetype of Fusion Monsters. All of them have similar requirements for their summoning, necessitating the use of [[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Aleister_the_Invoker Aleister the Invoker]] and any one monster of their respective Attribute. The sole exception is their ace, Elysium, which requires another Invoked as well as any monster that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck.\\\
Due to those requirements, the interactions between Aleister and Invocation as well as the latter being able to use monsters from the player's hand, field and either player's graveyard, the Invoked can easily be included in other decks.\\\
The Invoked archetype is lore-wise directly connected to the Endymion and Magistus archetypes, and their related archetypes.
----
* AntiMagic: Mechaba's effect is a stronger version of the card [[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Ultimate_Providence Ultimate Providence]], allowing it to negate the activation of a monster's effect, spell card or trap card and banish them at the cost of discarding a card of the same type from the hand.
* ContinuityNod: Crowley the Origin of Prophecy is an older version of Aleister the Invoker belonging to the Prophecy archetype, connecting the Prophecy and Invoked archetypes together.
* DemonOfHumanOrigin: The fact that Caliga shares the same ATK, DEF, Attribute, and Level as Aleister-plus the similar clothing—implies it is a mutated Aleister. Later confirmed by Aleister the Invoker of Madness's card art, which shows him turning into Caliga.
* EldritchAbomination: Elysium can best be described as a mechanical brain the size of a city with a spinal cord to match. Given that its card art shows the ''curvature of the planet'', it's easily scores of kilometers high—if not ''hundreds''.
* BigThinShortTrio: Invoked Purgatrio is composed of 3 beings with these body compositions.
* LivingStructureMonster: Aleister's connection to the Prophecy archetype is further underscored with Invoked Augoeides, who appears to be a fusion of it and The Grand Spellbook Tower.
* LoopholeAbuse: Purgatrio's abilities to gain ATK and attack multiple times in one turn are Continuous effects, and therefore not prevented by Caliga's restrictive effects.
* MythologyGag:
** Invocation's ability to Fusion Summon using monsters in any player's Graveyard is reminiscent of Jim Crocodile Cook's Fossil Fusion from ''Anime/YuGiOhGX''.
** The Invoked as a whole have some similarity to the Shaddoll archetype, in that they have one Fusion Monster for every Attribute (whose names are also derived from [[ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming religious themes]]) as well; these can also be Fusion Summoned by using an opponent's monster as Material.
** During the Link era, Aleister would join the Prophecy archetype as Crowley, the First Propheseer. It's a nod to the Prophecy/Invoked hybrid decks.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Caliga's OCG name, Caligula, references the Roman emperor of the same name. Aleister is named after the famous occultist Creator/AleisterCrowley.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Augoeides is a Fairy-type monster resembling a humanoid version of the Grand Spellbook Tower. The Fairy type is known as Angel in the OCG, meaning this monster is considered an angel—doubly so, as Augoeides is named after Alister Crowley's Holy Guardian Angel.
* PowerLimiter: Not only does Caliga's effect prevent each player from activating more than one monster effect per turn, but it also prevents each player from attacking with more than one monster per turn.
* {{Prequel}}: Aleister has a younger version of himself in the Magistus archetype known as Magistus Grimoire Crowley.
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: The names of most of the Invoked are derived from mythologies or religions.
* ShoutOut: The support cards for the archetype are based on the works of Creator/AleisterCrowley, with Aleister the Invoker being named after Crowley himself.
* StatusBuff: Aleister can be discarded to give a Fusion Monster 1000 ATK and DEF for a turn. Similarly, Augoeides can banish a Fusion Monster from your Graveyard to gain its ATK until the end of your opponent's turn.
* StoneWall: Cocytus has 2900 DEF—quite high for a Level 6 monster—and can neither be targeted nor destroyed by an opponent's card effects. It also has the ability to attack while in Defense Position. It stops short of being a MightyGlacier, however, as its 1800 ATK does little damage on its own.
* SummonMagic: Thematically, the Invoked are creatures summoned by Aleister.
* {{Unperson}}: According to Master Guide 6, Aleister was erased from magical history as the Grand Spellbooks Tower was constructed.
* UnskilledButStrong: Magellanica has 3000 ATK and 3300 DEF—very strong for a Level 8 monster—but it has no effect.
* WeakButSkilled: Caliga, the lowest-leveled Fusion Monster, has one of the most disruptive effects in the archetype, and perhaps even the whole game.

[[folder:Witchcrafter]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/witchcraftermadameverre_lod2_jp_vg_artwork.png]]
'''[[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Witchcrafter Witchcrafter]]''', or simply '''Witchcraft''' in the OCG, is an archetype consisting of two parts: Spellcasters that can discard Spells from the hand during either player's turn, Tribute themselves to Special Summon other Witchcrafts, or banish themselves and other Spells from the Graveyard to activate their effects; and Spells that can add themselves from the Graveyard to the hand during the End Phase if their effects were not activated that turn, and a Witchcraft monster is on their field.
The archetype's lore is directly connected to the Endymion, Spellbook, Invoked, and Magistus archetypes.
----
* AllYourPowersCombined: Aruru has all six girls' crafts on her body and/or weapons.
* AmazonBrigade: All of them are female.
* BlackBraAndPanties: Schmitta's wearing a black bra underneath her blouse.
* TheBlacksmith: Schmitta, with a side of WrenchWench thrown in.
* BroughtDownToNormal: By discarding a Spell, Master Verre can negate any enemy monsters' effects that turn.
* CatSmile: Master Verre sports a particularly smug-looking one.
* DiscardAndDraw: Inverted with Pittore, who can draw a card by banishing itself from your Graveyard and discarding a Spell. The downside is this requires you to discard a Witchcraft card as well—and if you don't have anything to discard, it banishes your entire hand.
* FieryRedhead: Schmitta, who is also a FIRE monster.
* {{Golem}}:
** Poterie's artwork shows a few of them.
** Aruru, their boss monster's title is Golem. She was made in the artwork of Witchcraft Masterpiece.
* LoopholeAbuse: Genie's second effect allows the player to get around the once per turn restriction of the spell card by changing said effect into that of the banished spell card.
* MeaningfulName: "Witchcrafter" can be considered a portmanteau of "witch" and "crafter", both in reference to the monsters' Spellcaster Type and the "craft" (i.e. sewing, metalworking or glassblowing) each one is named after.
** Their individual names actually relate to the craft they represent.
* NoSell: Haine prevents any other friendly Spellcasters from being targeted by card effects.
* {{Prequel}}: Madame Verre has a counterpart of herself in Magistus archetype in the form of Magistus Verre Cendrillon. For some unexplained reason, Verre Cendrillion is visibly older than her Witchcrafter counterpart.
* StatusBuff: Master Verre lets you reveal as many different Spells in your hand as you want if a fellow Spellcaster battles—including itself—then gives that Spellcaster an extra 1000 ATK/DEF for each revealed Spell that turn.
* SummonBiggerFish: The lower-Level members can Tribute themselves and discard a Spell to Special Summon another Witchcraft monster from the Deck.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Madame Verre has cyan, Edel has violet and Haine has grey.

[[folder:Mythical Beast]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mythicalbeastmastercerberus_lod2_jp_vg_artwork.png]]
'''[[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Mythical_Beast Mythical Beast]]''' is an archetype of Spellcaster-Type monsters that was de facto introduced in ''Extreme Force'' in 2017/8, based on the much older monster [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Mythical_Beast_Master_Cerberus Mythical Beast Cerberus]], which was introduced in ''Structure Deck: Spellcaster's Judgment'' in 2005/6.\\\
The archetype's playstyle is a variation on the old Spell Counter Spellcaster monsters (which the original Cerberus is a member of), taking advantage of the fact that Pendulum Monsters can be activated as Spell Cards. Save for the original Cerberus, all Mythical Beasts are Pendulum Monsters with Pendulum Scale 4. They have Monster Effects to gain Spell Counters when Spells are activated, and can remove them to activate various effects. Their Pendulum Effects involve destroying themselves while inside a Pendulum Zone—and with no other cards in your Pendulum Zone—for much the same.\\\
The archetype's lore is directly connected to the Endymion archetype, who is similarily an old Spell Counter Spellcaster monster expanded into a full Pendulum/Spell Counter archetype.
----
* AscendedExtra: Mythical Beast Cerberus, while otherwise unremarkable, later got an archetype based upon it and an upgraded form that serves as the archetype's boss monster, Mythical Beast Master Cerberus.
* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: Despite being an archetype of Pendulum Monsters, the archetype's design intentionally prohibits Pendulum Summoning. They all share the same middling Pendulum Scale of 4, making it impossible to Pendulum Summon with themselves and ineffective at working with other scales. Their Pendulum Effects can only activate if there isn't a card on the other Pendulum Zone, and involve self-destruction. They are really just Pendulum Monsters because it works with the Spell Counter mechanic.
* MixAndMatchCritters: All the Mythical Beasts save for Jackal and Jackal King appear to be animals that have been made into chimeras with pieces of Mythical Beast Jackal sticking out of them. Even Master Cerberus appears to be a complete fusion of Cerberus and Jackal, having the physical appearance of Cerberus but the coloration and markings of Jackal.

[[folder:Magistus]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/magistus.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:300:This is the story of the beginning.]]
'''[[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Magistus Magistus]]''' is an archetype of monsters with various Types (primarily Spellcaster) and Attributes that utilize multiple Summoning methods. The archetype focuses on equipping its various Extra Deck monsters to other monsters as Equip Cards, and in doing so, can access various boons that are granted to the equipped monster.\\\
Lore-wise, the archetype is related to the Endymion, Invoked, and Witchcrafter archetypes, and its Main Deck monsters appear to depict younger versions of Endymion, the Master Magician, Aleister the Invoker, and Witchcrafter Madame Verre, thus establishing that all of their respective archetypes occur in the same universe. The archetype's storyline is thus a {{Prequel}} to the storylines depicted in those other archetypes. In line with this, the Main Deck monsters also each have effects that are beneficial to the respective archetypes they are related to, allowing them to be easily splashed into decks of those archetypes.
----
* AmbiguousSituation: While Aleister and Endymion are clearly younger versions of themselves from before their respective archetypes, it's unclear at the moment whether Rilliona is the same Verre who now runs the Witchcrafter Guild or simply a relative of hers.
* AttackAttackAttack: A monster equipped with Ninaruru can make two attacks on monsters during each Battle Phase.
* BackFromTheDead: The effect of Vritra Magistus can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Magistus monster from the Graveyard.
* DiscardAndDraw: Endymion's effect allows the controller to destroy a Spell Card they control, then draw a card and return a card from their hand to the bottom of the Deck.
* FusionDance:
** Aiwass is a Fusion Monster that uses a Magistus monster and a Spellcaster-Type monster as Fusion Materials.
** Appearance-wise, "Zoroa, the Magistus Daimon" is a fusion of the main Deck Zoroa and Vifram.
* NoSell: A monster equipped with Vahram cannot be destroyed by the opponent's Spell and Trap effects.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: If a Synchro Summoned Vahram is destroyed, all face-up cards the opponent controls are also destroyed.
* PimpedOutDress: Rilliona's Xyz evolution, the Magistus Glass Witch, wears what might just be the [[https://ms.yugipedia.com//3/3e/RillionatheMagistusGlassWitch-LIOV-JP-OP.png biggest gown]] this side of Versailles—and, as befitting the Witchcrafter she later becomes, has an equally [[SmugSmiler smug]] look on her face to match.
* PowerNullifier: If Aiwass is equipped to an opponent's monster, it changes control of that monster to the controller, and prevents that monster from activating its effects.
** Similarly, Witch Rilliona can negate the effects of any enemy monster while it's equipped to a monster.
* {{Prequel}}: The archetype's Main Deck monsters are younger versions of Endymion, the Master Magician, Aleister the Invoker, and Witchcrafter Madame Verre, thus establishing that the events which occur in its lore take place before the storylines of their respective archetypes. Artemis is also the younger form of Selene, Queen of the Master Magicians. Curiously, however, while Crowley and Endymion appear to be younger than their respective counterparts, Rilliona appears to be ''older'' than Verre.
* SixthRanger: Each of the Main Deck monsters is related to a monster from the Endymion, Invoked, or Witchcrafter archetypes, though with the exception of Endymion, none of them are actually members of the archetypes their respective counterparts belong to. Nonetheless, each of them has an effect that is beneficial to those other archetypes, allowing them to be easily splashed into decks of those archetypes.
** Crowley is a younger version of Aleister the Invoker, and has an effect that changes his Attribute to one declared by the controller for the rest of the turn. This is beneficial to the Invoked archetype, as it is comprised of Fusion Monsters, most of whom require differently Attributed monsters as Fusion Materials, allowing Crowley to serve as a valid Fusion Material for them.
** Rilliona is a younger version of Witchcrafter Madame Verre. Upon being Normal or Special Summoned, she can return one of the controller's banished Level 4 or lower Spellcaster monsters to the Graveyard. This is useful for the Magistus archetype, as both Crowley and Rilliona herself are Level 4 Spellcaster monsters that banish themselves as a cost to equip the archetype's Extra Deck monsters from the Graveyard to a target monster. However, it also has utility in a Witchcrafter deck, as all of that archetype's Level 4 or lower Spellcaster monsters banish themselves from the Graveyard as a cost to use their effects.
** Endymion is a younger version of Endymion, the Master Magician, and has an effect that allows the controller to destroy a Spell Card they control, then draw a card and return a card from their hand to the bottom of the Deck. This effect can be used to trigger the effect of Tris Magistus by destroying it, enabling the controller to Special Summon any number of Magistus monsters with different names from their hand. However, as several Endymion monsters are Pendulum Monsters, it can also be used in an Endymion deck to destroy them while they are Pendulum Scales, freeing up the Pendulum Zones for other cards.
** Zoroa is a more weird, almost ''inverted'' example in that he's the only member of the archetype in the Main Deck who hadn't previously shown up as a member of another archetype, and is primarily designed to work with the archetype without anything in specific outside of it in mind.
* StatusBuff: Aiwass grants the monster it is equipped to an additional 1000 ATK and DEF.
* TakingYouWithMe: If a Synchro Summoned Vahram is destroyed, its effect destroys all face-up cards the opponent controls.
