Spellbook Manipulation XyzBy adding Spellbooks to your hand and taking advantage of them in your Graveyard, using cards like "Fool of Prophecy", "Justice of Prophecy", "Spellbook Magician of Prophecy", "Spellbook of Secrets", and "Spellbook of the Master", you can use them to aid you in Special Summoning Xyz Monsters. Using "Spellbook of Secrets" and "Spellbook of the Master", you can add "Spellbooks" to your hand to easily Special Summon "High Priestess of Prophecy". With "Gagaga Magician", you can bring outRank7Xyz Monsters. When manipulating "Spellbooks",banishinga few of them will be inevitable so "Spellbook of Eternity" and "Spellbook of the Master" can help recycle them for more usage and many "Spellbooks" will hit the Graveyard, so "The Grand Spellbook Tower" can give you additional draw power and help bring out a Spellcaster from your Deck when the right amount of "Spellbooks" are in the Graveyard. To protect your Spellcasters from getting destroyed, "Gagagashield" can come in handy so you have monsters to use as Xyz Materials for an Xyz Summon.[hide]Monsters

Psychic Synchro FusionNow possible due to the release ofDuelist Revolution, a Psychic deck that focuses onFusion Summoningis built to bring out the only Psychic-TypeFusion Monster, "Ultimate Axon Kicker". However, in order to do this, Psychic-TypeSynchro Monstersare needed because "Ultimate Axon Kicker" requires at least one of theFusion Material Monstersto be a Psychic-TypeSynchro Monster.Also new fromDuelist Revolutionis a newSpell CardforFusion Summoningwith: "Miracle Synchro Fusion", which allows the user toFusion SummonusingFusion Material Monstersfrom their side of the Field or theirGraveyardas long as theFusion Monsterthey're summoning lists aSynchro Monsteras one of theFusion Material Monsters. This makes it easy for the deck toFusion Summon"Ultimate Axon Kicker" at almost any time, especially late in a game when the deck hasSynchro Summonedmultiple times already and one or more of the Psychic-TypeSynchro Monstersare sitting in theGraveyardjust waiting to be fused with. It also allows other Fusion Monster with the similar requirement to be utilized in this deck as well.[hide]Monsters

Interdimensional Psychic"Hieratic", known as "Hieroglyphic" (Seikoku) in Japan and Korea, is anarchetypeconsisting ofLIGHTDragon-Typemonsters. One of the few sets of cards based onEgyptian motifs, they are based onEgyptian hieroglyphsandEnnead, a group ofEgyptian godsin mythology. Their logo is based onWedjat, the eye ofHorus, god of the sky, war, and protection. Also, in addition to Wedjat, if the monsters' backgrounds have either the sun or the moon, they get the respective Wedjat - right (sun) or left (moon).Hieratic CardOriginHieratic CardOrigin

The cards of this archetype rely onSpecial Summoninganddestroyingcards mainly byTributingother "Hieratic" monsters. What makes this archetype powerful and interesting is that many of its monsters allow you to Tribute from yourhand, in a manner similar toRitual Summoning.Another effect which all mid-Levelmonsters, such as Level 4, 5 and 6, have in common is that when they are Tributed, they are able to Special Summon aDragon-TypeNormal Monstereither from the hand, Deck, or Graveyard. It is also mandatory to Special Summon, which means that even though you Tribute them forcost, this effect will still go through. So, despite the idea that you're getting rid of your own monster, you won't lose that much field advantage. Almost all "Hieratic" monsters have relatively simple Summoning conditions.Contents[show]Playing StyleThe greatest strength of this archetype lies in the ability that almost all of its members possess: upon beingTributed, be it bycostoreffect, you are able to Summon anyDragon-TypeNormal Monsterfrom yourhand,DeckorGraveyard, at the cost of itsATKandDEFbecoming 0. This gives the "Hieratic" archetype the ability toswarmthefieldand bring out powerfulXyz Monstersin a manner similar to "Wind-Up" and a little similar to "Six Samurai", which focus on summoning many monsters to instantly dominate the Duel.The Deck easily summons Rank 5 and Rank 6 Xyz Monsters, simply by tributing one "Hieratic" for another, and therefore summoning a Normal Dragon-Type monster from your Deck with the same level as the one you just summoned. With the recent release of "Galaxy Serpent" in "Judgment of the Light", a Level 2 Normal Dragon-TypeTunerwhich can be summoned from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard whenever you tribute one of your "Hieratic" monsters, "Hieratics" now also have extremely easy access to all the Level 7 and 8 genericSynchroMonsters.Another interesting thing to note is the ease of Summoning the archetype's regular members, and the ease of which you mayactivatetheir effects. For instance, both "Hieratic Dragon of Nebthet" and "Hieratic Dragon of Su" are capable of getting rid of problematic monsters or Spells/Traps simply by Tributing a "Hieratic" monster from your field or hand. Not only that, but by Tributing a "Hieratic" monster, you will also activate their effect to Special Summon a Dragon-Type Normal Monster from your hand, Deck or Graveyard, possibly toXyz Summonduring that same turn. "Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon" can not only be easily summoned in this Deck, but can also restore the ATK and DEF of the Normal Monsters brought by the effect of the "Hieratic" monsters such as the powerful "Blue-Eyes White Dragon"."Hieratic Dragon of Eset" also greatly helps in the Deck's Xyz Summoning routine, since its effect can instantly equalize the Level of all "Hieratic" monster on the field to that of the Normal Monster you choose. Due to the nature of most "Hieratic" monsters, Summoning Normal Dragons to your Field is an easy task (even easier with "Hieratic Dragon of Tefnuit" in play). "Eset" can also be Normal Summoned for free, ready to Xyz Summon if you have a Normal Dragon monster.Taking all these points into consideration, one can see the worth of having aLevel8 Normal Monster with 0 ATK and DEF as the mascot. Not only can it be used for the effects of the other "Hieratics", but it can be Special Summoned by nearly all of the other "Hieratics", can be used with "Trade-In" or "Advance Draw". This easily Summon-able Level 8 Normal Monster grants players access to the powerful "Thunder End Dragon", as well as the strongest card of the archetype, "Hieratic Sun Dragon Overlord of Heliopolis". Should one be fortunate enough to have three of them on the field, or two of them and one "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon", it would then be possible to Summon the strongest Rank 8 Xyz Monster - "Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon".Since "Hieratics" can search any Dragon-Type Normal Monster at the cost of rendering them powerless, they can be used to supportFusion Monstersthat use Normal Dragons as Fusion Materials such as "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon", "Meteor B. Dragon" and to a lesser extent "King Dragun"."Lightray" monsters can be helpful Side Deck options for a "Hieratic" Deck. "Lightray Diabolos" and "Lightray Daedalus" provide powerful attackers with field control, and are easy to summon with how quickly "Hieratics" will cycle through their monsters to fill the Graveyard. If the player is reliant on "Hieratic Dragon of Sutekh", "Lightray Sorcerer" can combo with its effect, "Sutekh" banishing the valuable "Hieratics" in the Graveyard for "Sorcerer" to shuffle them back into the Deck, while both also provide field control.An interesting thing to know is that "Hieratics" can abuse "Inferno Reckless Summon", because any Dragon-Type monsters that are Special Summoned with their effects become 0 ATK and 0 DEF, which fits the conditions for "Inferno Reckless Summon", also the other copies of the monster Summoned with "Inferno Reckless Summon" will have their original ATK and DEF restored. This can be used in conjunction with "Hieratic Dragon King of Atum", so you can Special Summon "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon", drag out the other two copies with "Inferno Reckless Summon", and easily overlay for "Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" with its extra effect when Xyz Summoned with "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon".Monsters

Chaos HieraticsWhile the "Red-Eyes Hieratics" and the Control-based "Hieratic" builds are somewhat more common, this deck utilizes the combos of both "Hieratics" and "Chaos Dragons". Using cards like "Card Trooper", and some of "Lightsworn" monsters to dump cards into the Graveyard for use with cards such as "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning" or "Chaos Sorcerer", or even "Dark Armed Dragon", can help to make this Deck more consistent. Another great card to make this variant even more consistent is "Divine Dragon Apocralyph", which can not only add consistency to the Deck, but can get rid of dead draws and fuel the Graveyard for Chaos-based cards. It is also able for recovering "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" to be used once again.Monsters

WeaknessesCards like "Mask of Restrict", "Fog King", etc. that preventsTributewould lockdown this archetype's main goal of Tributing monsters. Also, "Light-Imprisoning Mirror" can also shutdown their effects in theGraveyardas their effects activate when Tributed, if they were to end up in the Graveyard this way, since they are allLIGHT-Attribute. "Koa'ki Meiru Drago" is one of the effective silver bullets against this Deck, since most "Hieratic" Decks relying on Special Summoning (most evident in "Hieratic" OTK style), and can even block the Summoning of both "Hieratic Dragon King of Atum" and "Hieratic Sun Dragon Overlord of Heliopolis". Since most of "Hieratic" cards are Level 5 or higher, "Evilswarm Ophion" and "Steelswarm Roach" can put this Deck into almost perfect deadlock situation, and cards' effects that negate summons can also stop this Deck's summoning combos. "Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo" is also useful for preventing them from Special Summoning both their tokens and other monsters like "Hieratic Dragon of Su", shutting down their means of summoning.Another huge problem with the Deck is that it is common todead draw, due to so many mid-level monsters in the roster of most "Hieratic" Decks. A card like "Dark Hole" can destroy the player's momentum and leave them with no field and a weak hand. Cards like "Trial and Tribulation" and "Super Rejuvenation" are helpful for maintaining hand power and preventing this."Hieratics" have lowDEF, so cards like "Enemy Controller" and "Book of Moon" render them vulnerable on the opponent's turn.Against a Deck running manyWIND-Attribute cards, "Mystic Fairy Elfuria" can badly slow down a "Hieratic" Deck's Xyz Summoning choices through the limiting Rank 5, 6 and 8 choices with its monster effect. And even if "Elfuria" leaves the field, its effect remains active until your next End Phase.Most of the competitive "Hieratic" Decks are OTK-style Decks, thus these kinds of Deck always have almost nothing in terms of defense. Cards that can stop your OTK attempt such as "Battle Fader" can put a serious shock for any "Hieratic" players, since they almost never play any Trap Cards. Most of their usually-Summoned monsters are also high in ATK, which means any damage-reversing effects like "Magic Cylinder", "Dimension Wall" and "Daigusto Sphreez" can deliver fatal blows for them.Trivia The monsters in this archetype are based on the first four generations ofgodsinEgyptian mythology. "Atum" gave rise to "Shu" and "Tefnut", who gave rise to "Geb" and "Nut", who gave rise to "Osiris", "Isis", "Nephthys" and "Set". They were collectively known as the "Ennead". Each monster in this archetype has an "Egyptian" symbol somewhere on its body(often its crown). The monsters in this archetype have designs similar to "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" and "Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" for their illuminating bodies, scaly armors, and wings. This archetype might have been released in order to celebrate the 2012 Year of theDragonon theChinese calendar."Hieratic"
