Hierophant of Prophecy

 This card is featured in the artwork of Spellbook of Judgment and Spellbook of Miracles.

---

This card is based on the Tarot card, The Hierophant, the fifth of the Major Arcana.

---

This card acts as a counterpart to Empress of Prophecy, as this card destroys Spell/Trap Cards while the Empress destroys monsters.

---

This monster's scepter bears a resemblance to the Emperor's Key. It shares the trait of having such an item with two other Prophecy monsters - Emperor and Empress.

---

These 3 monsters appear to be in the same room. The thrones of Empress and Emperor face each other, while the throne of Hierophant is between them.
