The '''OrichalchosOrichalcos''', spelled '''Oreichalcos''' (オレイカルコス ''Oreikarukosu'') in the ''[[OCG]]'' , is an [[anime-only|anime-exclusive]] [[series]] of cards are used by [[Dartz]] and [[Rafael]] in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'']] anime. The series is based on [[wikipedia:Orihalcum|orichalcum]], a series fictional metal featured in several ancient writings, including the story of cards that revolve around [[Atlantis]] written in [[wikipedia:Plato|Plato's]] dialogue, ''[[wikipedia:Critias (dialogue)|Critias]]''. 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 Seal 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 "[[OrichalcosSword of Sealing]]" that are exclusively , the only other "Orichalcos" card used by Rafael. In addition, the Field Spells all share the same effects, which includes increasing a monster's [[DartzATK]] by 500 and move monsters to the [[Spell & Trap Zone]], preventing them from being attacked. They are currently an all "[[animeOrichalcos Deuteros]] archetype" is the stronger version of "The Seal of Orichalcos", except 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 ShunorosTritos]]"is the strongest form of the previous "Orichalcos" Field Spells, which doesnnegates the effects of a card effect [[target]]ing the player't revolve around 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 "[[The Seal Mirror Knight Token]]s" to implement the attack force. In addition, the effect of "[[OrichalcosKyutora]]" at allis 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 was very likely inspired by 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 fabled Atlantean metal [[wikipedia:Orichalcum|OrichalcumGraveyard]]to attack.

Judging from their anime appearancesSo far, Orichalcos the only cards in the series released in the ''[OCG]]''/''[[TCG]]'' are focused on half-"[[Stall|stallOrichalcos Shunoros]], half-" and "[[BeatdownThe Seal of Orichalcos]] tactics by limiting the opponent". Prior to its release in ''[[Legendary Collection 3: Yugi's offensive tactics World]]'', the latter card was not originally a legal card, while building the former card was retooled as a [[Life PointsNormal Monster]] and an army of [[monstersupport]]scard.

This archetype is perhaps the only one that contains a "[[monsterwikipedia:Orichalcum|Orichalcos]], "[[Divine Serpent]](Ορείχαλκος) is the Greek word meaning "''mountain copper/metal''", with infinite although some scholars believe that it refers to [[Original ATK and DEFwikipedia:Brass#History|original]] [[ATKnatural brass]]. Consequently, but one that has a huge "[[costOrichalcos Deuteros]] in attacking and a winner-take-all style condition: Once it" ("Ορείχαλκος Δεύτερος") means "''second brass''s " while "[[SummonOrichalcos Tritos]]ed, the [[controller]] loses their [[hand]] and [[Life Points]], but doesn" ("Ορείχαλκος Τρίτος") translates to "''third brass''t lose until it is removed from the [[field]]".

So far, only "[[The Seal of Orichalcos Shunoros]]" has is a [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game|OCG]]/[[Yu-Gi-Oh!

The Seal of Orichalcos]]" is not a legal and available card, "unicursal hexagram was used by occultist [[Orichalcos Shunoroswikipedia:Aleister Crowley|Aleister Crowley]]" is retooled as a symbol representing the religious philosophy of [[Normal Monsterwikipedia:Thelema|Thelema]] support card.
