Forum:Deck Guide/Fortune Ladies

This guide will be a comprehensive guide on a relatively new and untested archetype, Fortune Ladies.

Fortune Ladies: The Archetype
Fortune Ladies are an untested archetype but one with great potential when used right. They are also a very small archetype without many card choices. The monster line up consists of only 8 monsters. The secret to a good Fortune Lady deck is balance and good card choice. Techs are very important in the deck. Even thought there aren't many cards within the archetype, the archetype's main card, Fortune Lady Light, allows you to toolbox into any Fortune Lady you need, regardless of level. This is a strong asset to the deck.

Fortune Ladies: Stats
On a scale of 1 to 5, i will be rating the archetype in 4 categories: Power, Defense, Speed, and Consistency. I will also comment on its meta ranking. This is just a general anylysis of the archetype to give you an idea of its strengths and weaknesses.


 * Power- 3/5 The Fortune Ladies' ATK stats are dependant on their Levels which increase during the standby phase of every turn. Skill Drain will leave them powerless due to the fact that their ATK stats stem from their effects. Their biggest beatstick is Fortune Lady Earth which has an ATK of 2500 although she isn't used often. A lot of the decks power comes from tech choices although summoning Ladies Earth and Dark isn't hard due to Lady Light.


 * Defense- 2/5 Fortune Ladies dont have much to fall back on if you fall back. Disruption is present in the deck but it will only delay your opponent. Essentially, you mustn't fall back. Otherwise, you will be in a very bad position. It is tough to get back on track.


 * Speed- 4/5 Fortune Ladies toolbox and this allows them to get going relatively easy. They also have a good amount of draw power available to them in the form of Fortune Lady Water and Fortune's Future. Fortune Lady Dark also has a great recursion effect that is useful when pushing for game, especially with multiples of her on the field.


 * Consistency- 3/5 Toolboxing and draw power work wonders for the deck, allowing you to get the cards you need when you need them. Disruption, removal and defensive aspects of the deck will also help the deck. You must also be able to play the deck well though. At times, things can get tricky but the deck is full of potential.


 * Meta Ranking- Fortune Ladies are considered Tier 3 as of now but with the right build, they can get to Tier 2 easily.
