Fortunetelling: Enter the Oracle [16/16] *Reps for Reviews!*

[Zextra]

This is an archetype that I made a while back, but I decided to revise and revisit them to keep them up to date.

The archetype focuses on, as the title would suggest, fortunetelling - I personally find the idea of being able to "predict" and plan your next move(s) quite fascinating, so I did my best to incorporate such concepts into the set. 

 

So without further ado, I present the "Oracus" archetype, and, as always, I will give reps for comments and reviews. Hope you all enjoy! :3

 

EDIT: Well, spoilers aren't working for me somehow, so please excuse the extra long post...

I like their use of using revealed cards to gain effects and rearranging your top cards for benefit.

Infinity Tsyuk, I'm afraid of his double attack effect. It may be to easy to obtain considering you can discard Amaterasu with Divine Conversion.

Insectress I don't see much use for her effect. It'll just be for Lilia, but that'll be kind of situational.

Since most of these monsters are Fairies, it could probably be ran with Sanctuary in the Sky along with Divine Judgment. In that case I don't think you'll need Divine Veil. Not quite sure where Divine Veil stands on this either, but I suppose it's ok considering they're are more powerful archetype counter traps.

Izanami looks like it can be a straight up beast while its on the field.

If it would help, I could get rid of its potential double-attacking and give it a protection clause like Amaterasu's instead.

You're right in that Insectress' Tribute effect is sadly worth it in most situations, but being Special Summoned by being revealed is quite the invaluable effect to the deck, since it lacks speed, and due to the fact that its only consistent ways to bring out monsters is by it and Sonaria.

While it's true that Divine Veil is lacking in terms of versatility, being active only against cards that hurt "Oracus" monsters, but Divine Punishment is less than consistent, since Sanctuary in the Sky probably would not want to be run due to it being somewhat useless in furthering the deck's strategy.

Izanami looks like it can be a straight up beast while its on the field.

I really like Gift of Izanami, and how it deviates from the typical " ... would be destroyed by a card effect ... " that way countering Compulsory, Bottomless, and their ilk (ew). The theme is also really fascinating, revealing cards and returning them in any order. That would couple really well with even a little bit of draw power. c: That's why I like Gift of Susanoo! It would be cool to see Gift of Izanagi have an effect along the lines of " ... When the equipped monster destroys a monster as a result of battle: Draw 1 card, then, if it was an "Oracus" monster, send this card to the Graveyard and destroy 1 face-up card your opponent controls." What do you think? xo
