Fortune Lady " Fortune Lady " ( フォーチュンレディ " Fochūnredi " ) is an archetype of Spellcaster monsters , which are also evolved versions of the " Fortune Fairy " monsters . They are used by Carly Carmine while she was a Dark Signer in the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! 5D ' s " anime . After Carly ' s transformation into a Dark Signer , the cards in her Deck changed . The " Fortune Fairies " evolved into the " Fortune Ladies " . Each " Fortune Lady " is an evolved version of the " Fortune Fairies " of the same Attribute and Level . " Fortune Lady Light " and " Fortune Lady Fire " were first released in " Ancient Prophecy " , while the rest were released in " Stardust Overdrive " . Each " Fortune Lady " has a different Attribute and Level from 1 to 6 . Each one ' s Attribute and Level correspond to that of her " Fortune Fairy " counterpart . All Ladies are Spellcaster Effect Monsters , with ? ATK and DEF . In the " OCG " , the names of all known Fortune Ladies have been their Attribute with an added " y " at the end . They all have effects that increase their Levels by 1 each turn . All of their effects either activate when they are Summon ed or are used to Special Summon other Fortune Ladies , meaning that they can be strategically used once " Future Visions " is also on the field . They can also be protected with the help of " Slip of Fortune " . Note that Fortune Ladies increase their Level during each of their controller ' s Standby Phases . Interestingly enough , the " OCG " cards have similar names to 4 of the element Clow Cards in ( Windy , Earthy , Firey , Watery ) . They also seem to derive some inspiration from CLAMP ' s style in general , such as Fire strongly resembling Hikaru from Magic Knight Rayearth ( Though this is more evident in her previous form , Fortune Fairy En ) . They also appear to be based on witches . Censoring . Like many female cards , the artworks of the " Fortune Lady " monsters were censored for international release : the color of their skin was changed to look like they are wearing tights , and on some of them , the amount of cloth around the groin was also increased ; and their busts were reduced or their cleavage was removed . For example , " Fortune Lady Fire " has light red skin in the original artwork , which is changed to turquoise blue in the international artwork . Playing style . " Pure " Fortune Lady Decks either revolve around a hit - and - fade strategy involving careful field control leading into a quick field swarm offensive with powerful attacking monsters or very specific combination Decks with a focused win condition . Quite often though , Fortune Lady cards are incorporated into a mixed Deck style where they act as a draw engine through the use of " Fortune ' s Future " and / or " Fortune Lady Water " with " Fortune Lady Dark " that improves the effectiveness of the core Deck strategy . To pick off specific theme cards though for assessment , " Fortune Lady Wind " is not a commonly used card in a pure Fortune Lady Deck because its effect only activates when it is Normal Summoned and not Special Summoned like other Fortune Lady monsters . Likewise " Fortune Lady Earth " is a situational card in a pure " Fortune Lady " Deck . This is because she is only useful as a beatstick , since her burn effect is poor compared to other true Burn theme cards . Of note though , if against a Stall or " Final Countdown " Deck , the burn effect of " Fortune Lady Earth " can prove somewhat useful , since you can simply stop attacking and inflict minor burn damage every time the card gains a level while you work on breaking through their strategy . And " Fortune Lady Earth " does have its place as a toolbox card in more aggressive Spellcaster - themed Decks . " Fortune Ladies " need to swarm the field quickly using " Fortune Lady Light " and " Fortune Lady Dark " . For example , you can play " Fortune Lady Light " while " Future Visions " is face - up on the field to Special Summon " Fortune Lady Dark " . Using " Fortune Lady Dark " and " Fortune Lady Light ' s " effects , you can Special Summon : Use " Terraforming " to search for " Future Visions " as soon as possible ; it is a strong " field control " card . " Future Visions " can be also used to keep the opponent ' s monster Banished : Running several copies of " Future Visions " can be great for a " Fortune Lady " Deck . When an opponent ' s monster gets Banished by " Future Vision ' s " effect , playing a new one ( and therefore destroying the first ) will not only allow you to keep the field the same , but it traps your opponent ' s monster in the Removed From Play Zone . Recommended cards . Fortune Lady Crowd Control . Focuses on Future Visions making Earthbound Immortal Aslla piscu and Beast King Barbaros strong cards . Also aiming to protect Future Visions so the Fortune Ladies can swarm the field . Easily synchro of Ally of Justice Catastor , Junk Warrior and Brionac , Dragon of the Ice Barrier ( Traditional only ) . Zero Fortune . Also known as Absolute Fortune , this Deck uses " Miracle Fusion " to banish " Fortune Ladies " which can later be used as fodder for " Fortune ' s Future " . It can also use the " Destiny " Draw Engine together with the " Fortune Lady " Draw Engine for maximum draw power . Fortunate Simorgh . With " Dark Simorgh " , " Future Visions " and " Anti - Spell Fragrance " , your opponent won ' t be able to activate / Set Spells and Traps and any monster they Normal Summon will be banished until the next turn . Anti - Special Summon cards are also used to lock your opponent . Weaknesses . Even though the " Fortune Ladies " have an immense amount of draw power and can grow in strength with each passing turn , their effects can easily be ruined through simple cards such as " Forbidden Chalice " , " Skill Drain " and " Gladiator Beast War Chariot " . Worse , due to their dynamic Level values and the fact that they are composed of each of the six main Attributes , cards like " Gozen Match " , " Battle of the Elements " , " Attention ! " and " Unification " can not only expunge them off the Field but even keep it that way for quite some time , which can be better than using mass - removing staples like " Dark Hole " and " Torrential Tribute " . Similarly , " Doom Donuts " and " Overworked " can also clean house since a " Fortune Lady " ' s original ATK " and " DEF would both be 0 . " Fortune Ladies " tend to rely on summoning , as they must be summoned either from the Graveyard , by " Fortune Lady Dark " , or from your hand ( through cards like " Inherited Fortune " ) , or solely on the effects of " Fortune Lady Light " . If the swarm starts too late , it can be very difficult to win . Against other swarm Decks , such as " Blackwings " , " Future Visions " can slow down both Decks if you don ' t have " Fortune Lady Light " . Likewise , if " Fortune Lady Dark " is somehow sent to Graveyard , the swarming is pretty much disrupted . Moreover , even if she ' s on the Field , cards like " Keldo " , " Pot of Benevolence " , " The Transmigration Prophecy " , " Foolish Return " , " Evilswarm Ouroboros " , " Soul Release " and " Out of the Blue " can interdict " Fortune Lady Dark " from reviving any " Fortune Lady " sitting in the Graveyard . Level reducing cards such as " Demotion " , " Stygian Dirge " , " Silent Strider " and " Mischief of the Yokai " can be odd choices to temporarily counter " Fortune Ladies " because lower Levels will spell lower ATK and DEF ( even less than than their initial values after a " Fortune Lady " ' s Summon if used early on any " Lady " other than " Light " . ) Finally , " " can deal " Fortune Lady " players a very expeditious end . Since a " Fortune Lady " ' s original ATK " and " DEF would both be 0 , it can jack up its offensive points to astronomical heights hastily whilst also seriously Burning the player ( especially if its effect targets " Earth " or " Dark " , the two strongest " Ladies " in terms of their base Levels . ) ATK boosters like " Solidarity " and " Time Passage " only make " Machu Mech " ' s potency against this Deck more of a debacle .
