Fortune Lady




This is another one of my favourite series. Consist of girl-only character, seriously doesn't suite my style.
But then again, I love the combination of their abilities. One of the series that is to be used by intermediate or above player, as they are quite tricky and can adapt to many situation.

I'll say, even the facts that there are only 6 monster for this archtype, but I'll say they are quite complete with several support from other cards of course.

Consist of each one attribute which is light, dark, fire, water, wind and earth, make it looks stylish but for that, this deck will face a problem against a deck containing Gozen Match as it prevent you from swarming your field.

Fortune Lady is an all round having an amazing draw power and swarming capability. Not to mention the destructive power from Fortune Lady Fire and Fortune Lady Wind. For that reason, Fortune Lady is capable of taking on either a power deck or stall deck.

To sum it up,

Fortune Lady Light --> Deck searcher and swarm
Fortune Lady Fire --> Counter attack and effect damage
Fortune Lady Wind --> Back row cleaner
Fortune Lady Water --> Draw power
Fortune Lady Dark --> Massive swarm
Fortune Lady Earth --> Power house and continuous effect damage

Fortune Lady receive excess draw power from Fortune Lady Water and also Fortune's Future. The easiest trick to draw more cards easily, is by combining Fortune's Future after activating Gold Sarcophagus. Activate Gold Sarcophagus to remove 1 Fortune Lady from your deck, it should be added to your hand after 2 turns, but if you activate Fortune's Future to return the removed Fortune Lady back to your grave to draw 2 cards. So roughly, after activating these two card effects, the result is the same as activating Foolish Burial and Pot of Greed.

Since that both Fortune's Future and Gold Sarcophagus is not in the Banlist, so you can put 3 copy each (if desired), indirectly it is almost the same like having 3 Pot of Greed and 3 Foolish Burial in your deck.

By focusing on Fortune Lady Light as the key card, you can easily call out any Fortune Lady from your deck to the field and activate their effects. Since that draw power and deck searcher is high, thinning your deck is not a problem at all.

Wattpheasant can attack directly and afterwards remove Fortune Lady Light you control to activate its effect to call out any Fortune Lady from your deck. Since that the Fortune Lady Light removed by this effect is returned during the end phase, you can continuously use this combo each turn only if you manage to protect your Fortune Lady Light as it is a very weak monster and definitely vulnerable to opponents attack.

You can abuse the swarming capability of spellcaster type Fortune Lady Monster to include in Sorcerer of Dark Magic. A beat stickers with 3200 ATK and ability to negate trap activation.

It might hurt the swarming a bit, but if you can summon it to the field, then trap cards is no longer a threat to you. Except counter trap of course, as counter trap cards can only be negated by other counter trap cards. Since that all Fortune Lady's level will increase each turn, so, all Fortune Lady is a viable tribute cost for special summoning this card, which is 2 level 6 or higher Spellcaster type monster. But definitely will be harder for Fortune Lady Fire's and Fortune Lady Light's level to increase until 6 to be tributed for the cost as they are quite weak in term of ATK and DEF.
