Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Review: Witchcrafter Pittore

[Spellcaster/Effect]

ATK/1,000 DEF/1,500

During the Main Phase (Quick Effect): You can Tribute this card, then discard 1 Spell; Special Summon 1 “Witchcrafter” monster from your Deck, except “Witchcrafter Pittore”. You can banish this card from your GY; draw 1 card, then send 1 “Witchcrafter” card from your hand to the GY, or, if you have none, banish your entire hand. You can only use each effect of “Witchcrafter Pittore” once per turn.

Witchcrafter Pittore is a spellcaster with two effects. She provides resources for her archetype. She shares the common effect with many Witchcrafters to special summon a Witchcrafter from the deck. This effect monster has the ability to allow the player to draw an extra card.

Sets:

  • The Infinity Chasers
  • 2020 Tin of Lost Memories

First Effect:

You may tribute Witchcrafter Pittore and discard a spell to special summon a Witchcrafter with a different name from the deck. You may activate this quick effect during the main phase. The effect provides a strong monster from the deck.

In addition, you may activate this effect during either players’ turn. You may special summon monsters such as Witchcrafter Haine and Witchcrafter Madame Verre. These cards are two of the best monsters from the archetype in the main deck.

Therefore, this effect provides consistency to Witchcraft. You instantly get one of the key monsters of the archetype from the deck. Then, you may proceed with your strategy.

Special summon these monsters with the effect of Witchcrafter Pittore!

Second Effect:

Witchcrafter Pittore banishes herself from the graveyard and  you may draw a card. The cost is discarding a card with Witchcrafter in the name or you must discard your entire hand. This effect gains one resource for the cost of one or more resources.

Furthermore, you can offset the cost of this ability with Witchcrafter Vice-Madame if you discard a spell card with Witchcrafter in its name. Witchcrafter Vice-Madame may add a spell card with Witchcrafter in its name from the graveyard to your hand. You regain the card for the cost of this effect. 

Fusion Material:

Witchcrafter Pittore is fusion material for her archetype.  She meets the requirements for materials due to her name and type of monster. You only need another Witchcrafter as material.

For example, you may use Witchcrafter Pittore as fusion material for Witchcrafter Vice-Madame. Witchcrafter Vice-Madame requires one spellcaster and one Witchcrafter. The archetype has many spellcasters. You can easily fulfill the requirements for the materials.

Use Witchcrafter Pittore as material for this fusion monster.
  • Witchcrafter Confusion Confession
  • Witchcrafter Vice-Madame

Support:

Witchcrafter Pittore has stellar support from Witchcrafter. She has synergy with her archetype and generic cards. The archetype has multiple methods to special summon this spellcaster. Generic cards for spellcasters also support this effect monster.

Witchcrafter Edel and Witchcrafter Vice-Madame may special summon Witchcrafter Pittore from your hand. These spellcasters provide instant access to this level four effect monster. Then, you may activate the effect of Witchcrafter Pittore to special summon a Witchcrafter from the deck.

In addition, Witchcrafter Holiday special summons Witchcrafter Pittore from the graveyard. This spell card complements this effect monster. You may activate this spell card to special summon this effect monster after you tribute her for the cost of her first effect.

Witchcrafter Creation may add Witchcrafter Pittore from the deck to your hand. This spell card adds consistency to this effect monster. You have her in your hand for normal summon or special summon.

Card Rating:

Overall, Witchcrafter Pittore is a nice addition to Witchcrafters. She consistently provides resources from the deck. She may special summon one of your best monsters from the deck during either players’ turn. Her ability to draw a card provides quick access to your key cards. Therefore, I recommend playing three copies of Witchcrafter Pittore in your deck.
