Etymology

The Kanji for "Sibyl" can be translated as "Fortune-Telling Princesses". The Sibyls were oracular women believed to possess prophetic powers in ancient Greece.

Playing style

All non-Ritual "Sibyl" monsters are Flip monsters, who focus on controlling the field with their Flip effects. They also possess several searching effects to aid Ritual Summoning "Tarotray the Sibylla" with ease, who can further support the Flip effects of the "Sibyl" monsters.

Weaknesses

Despite this archetype's unorthodox "bait and switch" — like tactics, "Sibyl" have many weaknesses. Cards like "Dark Simorgh", "Searchlightman", "Light of Intervention" prevent "Sibyl" monsters from being Set or flipped face-down in first place. "Jurrac Velphito" is also dangerous to "Sibyls" because it destroys face-down monsters immediately without them ever flipping face-up. Other cards which prevent battle position changes, whether of the "Sibyl" player's monsters or the opponent's, such as "Gaap the Divine Soldier" and "Gravity Axe - Grarl" can halt most, though often not all, of the "Sibyl" player's moves. Additionally, the deck has difficulty removing monsters summoned by the effect of "Raging Cloudian".
