The Orichalchos cards are a series of cards that revolve around "The Seal of Orichalcos" that are exclusively used by Dartz. They are currently an all anime archtype, except for "Orichalcos Shunoros", which dosen't revolve around "The Seal of Orichalcos" at all. It was very likely inspired by the fabled Atlantian metal Orichalcum.
Judging from their anime appearances, Orichalcos cards are focused on half-stall, half-Beatdown tactics by limiting the opponent's offensive tactics while building Life Points and an army of monsters.
"Kyutora" is summoned in the Spell & Trap Card Zone to protect it from attacks while it negates Battle Damage that weaker monsters, like "Gigas" would take by constantly ramming.
This archetype is perhaps the only one that contains a monster, "Divine Serpent", with infinite original ATK, but one that has a huge cost in attacking and a winner-take-all style condition: Once it's summoned, the controller loses their hand and LP, but doesn't lose until it is removed from the field.
So far, only "Orichalcos Shunoros" has a OCG/TCG equivalent released in Limited Edition Pack 15; Since "The Seal of Orichalcos" is not a legal and available card, "Orichalcos Shunoros" is retooled as a Normal Monster support card.
Literally translated, Orichalcos (Ορείχαλκος) means "brass". "Η Σφραγίδα του Ορείχαλκου" being Greek for "The Seal of Orichalcos" literally translates into The Seal of Brass. "Ορείχαλκος Δεύτερος" in English being "Orichalcos Deuteros" literally translates into Second Brass and "Ορείχαλκος Τρίτος", "Orichalcos Tritos", translating to Third Brass.
