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]] archetype, except for "[[Orichalcos Shunoros]]", which doesn't revolve around "[[The Seal of Orichalcos]]" at all. It was very likely inspired by the fabled Atlantean metal [[wikipedia:Orichalcum|Orichalcum]].

Judging from their anime appearances, Orichalcos cards are focused on half-[[Stall|stall]], half-[[Beatdown]] tactics by limiting the opponent's offensive tactics while building [[Life Points]] and an army of [[monster]]s. 

"[[Orichalcos Kyutora|Kyutora]]" is [[Summon]]ed in the [[Spell & Trap Card Zone]] to protect it from [[attack]]s while it [[negate]]s [[Battle Damage]] that weaker monsters, like "[[Orichalcos Gigas|Gigas]]" would take by constantly ramming. 

This archetype is perhaps the only one that contains a [[monster]], "[[Divine Serpent]]", with infinite [[Original ATK and DEF|original]] [[ATK]], but one that has a huge [[cost]] in attacking and a winner-take-all style condition: Once it's [[Summon]]ed, the [[controller]] loses their [[hand]] and [[Life Points]], but doesn't lose until it is removed from the [[field]].

So far, only "[[Orichalcos Shunoros]]" has a [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game|OCG]]/[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game|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''.

-'''Orichalcos''', spelled '''Oreichalcos''' (オレイカルコス ''Oreikarukosu'') in the ''[[OCG]]'', is an [[anime-only|anime-exclusive]] [[series]] of cards used by [[Dartz]] and [[Rafael]] in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'']] anime. The series is based on [[wikipedia:Orihalcum|orichalcum]], a fictional metal featured in several ancient writings, including the story of [[Atlantis]] written in [[wikipedia:Plato|Plato's]] dialogue, ''[[wikipedia:Critias (dialogue)|Critias]]''.
+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]] archetype, except for "[[Orichalcos Shunoros]]", which doesn't revolve around "[[The Seal of Orichalcos]]" at all. It was very likely inspired by the fabled Atlantean metal [[wikipedia:Orichalcum|Orichalcum]].
-In the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' anime, the "Orichalcos" [[Field Spell Card]]s, when [[activate]]d, would trap the [[Duelist]]s within the seal and prevent them from escaping; the losing Duelist would lose their soul, which were then sacrificed to revive [[The Great Leviathan]]. In the Japanese version of the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' anime, the cards' texts are written in the [[wikipedia:Enochian|Enochian]] language appearing in the circles, except for "[[Orichalcos Sword of Sealing]]", the only other "Orichalcos" card used by Rafael.
-In addition, the Field Spells all share the same effects, which includes increasing a monster's [[ATK]] by 500 and move monsters to the [[Spell & Trap Zone]], preventing them from being attacked. "[[Orichalcos Deuteros]]" is the stronger version of "The Seal of Orichalcos", which allows the player to gain 500 [[Life Point]]s for each monster they controlled and [[Tribute]] a monster they control to destroy an opponent's monster. "[[Orichalcos Tritos]]" is the strongest form of the previous "Orichalcos" Field Spells, which negates the effects of a card effect [[target]]ing the player's monsters.
-The true strategy behind the series is to use the effects of the "Orichalcos" Field Spells and the revival effects of "[[Orichalcos Gigas]]" to [[stall]] the opponent while using the effects of "[[Mirror Knight Calling]]" and "[[Mirror Knight Token]]s" to implement the attack force. In addition, the effect of "[[Orichalcos Kyutora]]" is used to reduce [[battle damage]] to 0 and, upon being destroyed, [[Special Summon]] "[[Orichalcos Shunoros (anime)|Orichalcos Shunoros]]", "[[Orichalcos Aristeros]]" and "[[Orichalcos Dexia]]", and convert the battle damage to "Shunoros'" [[ATK]], while the effects of "Aristeros" and "Dexia" further increase "Shunoros'" ATK.
-The related "[[Divine Serpent Geh (anime)|Divine Serpent Geh]]" in the anime is used as a contingency plan in case "Shunoros" was destroyed. It featured ∞ ATK/[[DEF]] and prevented the player from losing the Duel; however, the player had to pay a heavy cost of sending 10 cards from the Deck to the [[Graveyard]] to attack.
+Judging from their anime appearances, Orichalcos cards are focused on half-[[Stall|stall]], half-[[Beatdown]] tactics by limiting the opponent's offensive tactics while building [[Life Points]] and an army of [[monster]]s.
-So far, the only cards in the series released in the ''[OCG]]''/''[[TCG]]'' are "[[Orichalcos Shunoros]]" and "[[The Seal of Orichalcos]]". Prior to its release in ''[[Legendary Collection 3: Yugi's World]]'', the latter card was not originally a legal card, while the former card was retooled as a [[Normal Monster]] [[support]] card.
+"[[Orichalcos Kyutora|Kyutora]]" is [[Summon]]ed in the [[Spell & Trap Card Zone]] to protect it from [[attack]]s while it [[negate]]s [[Battle Damage]] that weaker monsters, like "[[Orichalcos Gigas|Gigas]]" would take by constantly ramming.
-==Origin==
+This archetype is perhaps the only one that contains a [[monster]], "[[Divine Serpent]]", with infinite [[Original ATK and DEF|original]] [[ATK]], but one that has a huge [[cost]] in attacking and a winner-take-all style condition: Once it's [[Summon]]ed, the [[controller]] loses their [[hand]] and [[Life Points]], but doesn't lose until it is removed from the [[field]].
-"[[wikipedia:Orichalcum|Orichalcos]]" (Ορείχαλκος) is the Greek word meaning "''mountain copper/metal''", although some scholars believe that it refers to [[wikipedia:Brass#History|natural brass]]. Consequently, "[[Orichalcos Deuteros]]" ("Ορείχαλκος Δεύτερος") means "''second brass''" while "[[Orichalcos Tritos]]" ("Ορείχαλκος Τρίτος") translates to "''third brass''".
+So far, only "[[Orichalcos Shunoros]]" has a [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game|OCG]]/[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game|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.
-"The Seal of Orichalcos" is a [[wikipedia:Unicursal hexagram|unicursal hexagram]] inscribed in a circle. The unicursal hexagram was used by occultist [[wikipedia:Aleister Crowley|Aleister Crowley]] as a symbol representing the religious philosophy of [[wikipedia:Thelema|Thelema]].
+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''.
