This is a short advice post to summarize what I've experienced at nationals
Cards that you should side: Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer, Psi Blocker
Cards that you should never side: Fusilier, EEV, Droll and Lock Bird
If you ask me why, then they're all horrible cards to have in your deck. Fusilier does shit, but EEV without Fusilier is even more shit. Droll Bird is good to have in your hand, but after a Judgment is played you'd wish you had a Kycoo or Psy Blocker instead
Cards that you should consider: Divine Wrath (yes), Last Day of Witch (yes), Skill Drain
The former one deals with Blue Magician completely, and if Rodrigo Togores can play Raigeki Break, why can't you play a similar trap?
Last Day of Witch do a better job of avoiding Spellbook of Fate. Fate is the only reason why people considered Book of Eclipse, but in Prophecy match-up, Last Day of Witch is much much more better that Eclipse
Skill Drain seems pointless due to Fate and Wisdom, but chaining it to a Magician is still good as fuck, and you can also side this against Ophion. They can get past Drain for 1-2 turns, but in the long run you'd be the one who had advantages. Jowgen + Fate = GG, and Drain deals with that, at least baiting out the Fate
Cards that you should think of when you're completely desperate: Spell Canceller, Light and Darkness Dragon
Because people are cutting High Priestess and Breakthrough Skills, these card are good again
And, be careful about Dimensional Fissure. It seems harmless at first, but in the long run you'd wish you could have your graveyard full of baby dragons
And, you should play 2 Swords and 2 Gold Sarcophaguses. In game 1 whatever you play is not so important, but Swords will net you crucial advantages in game 2-3, when you need to dig for side cards
The last thing is not recommended, but if you side like 9-10 cards for a deck like Prophecy, just side out Rejuvenation. Your deck is completely ok without it (have you ever won a duel not using Rejuvenation?), and Swords help you draw too
