Fortune Lady and Chaos Monsters… Modernized.

Strategic Summary:
Welcome back for another standard Creative Deck Profile, this time focused on the Fortune Lady archetype. This Spellcaster theme consists of a bunch of monsters with ?/? ATK/DEF, as they all gain ATK/DEF based on their Level. Additionally, each Fortune Lady monster increases in Level during the Standby Phase, slowly growing more and more powerful. In particular, the combination of Fortune Lady Light and Fortune Lady Past carry the archetype nowadays, as Past can banish a Light on your field, which in turn triggers Light’s effect to Special Summon a Fortune Lady Water or Fortune Lady Fire from the deck. For the former, that’s a free draw 2, and for the latter, that means that you can destroy an opponent’s threat while burning them. To enable this combo, the latest wave of Fortune Lady support gave the deck Fortune Vision, a Continuous Spell that tutors any Fortune Lady card on activation, as well as Fortune Lady Calling, a Normal Spell that Special Summons a Fortune Lady from your deck with a different name from the cards you control. Fortune Fairy Hikari also assists in this effort – between the three cards, your deck will have plenty of consistency to get to your Past/Light combo.
Now onto the other half of the deck, the Chaos Synchro portion. The Chaos Synchro strategy received a considerable support wave in the PHHY set, as each of the monsters enhanced the strategy of Synchro Summoning using a LIGHT Tuner and a DARK non-Tuner. For In particular, Shell of Chaos and Core of Chaos are the main bodys here, each able to banish a LIGHT or DARK monster from your hand or GY to Special Summon themselves, and when each is Special Summoned, they can Special Summon a banished copy of the other. Together, 2+4=6, so this chaotic combination results in a Level 6 Synchro of your choice, such as Chaos Beast or the new Tri-Edge Master (YGOrg Translation). Combine the Synchro of your choice with another Level 4 monster that can Special Summon itself of the opposite attribute, such as White Dragon Wyverburster or Black Dragon Collapserpent, and you can Synchro Summon Chaos Angel (YGOrg Translation). This Level 10 Synchro, when made with LIGHT and DARK material, protects your monsters from battle, and your Synchro Monsters become unaffected by your opponent’s monster effects!
Closing out the deck and serving as additional glue to hold the strategy together is a small Dark Magician Support engine, held down by Illusion of Chaos. Instead of just running him as a vector to tutor Magicians’ Souls, he can also be used here to tutor Apprentice Illusion Magician, a Level 6 DARK monster that can easily be Special Summoned from the hand to be used as Synchro Material for Chaos Angel, Chaos Archfiend, or even Fortune Lady Every. Channel the Chaos Phantasm with the Fortune Lady and Chaos Synchro cards!
