The '''OrichalchosOrichalcos''', spelled '''Oreichalcos''' (オレイカルコス ''Oreikarukosu'') in the ''[[OCG]]'' cards are a , is an [[anime-only|anime-exclusive]] [[series ]] of cards that revolve around "used by [[Dartz]] and [[Rafael]] in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'']] anime. The Seal 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]]''. In the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' anime, the "Orichalcos" [[Field Spell Card]]s, when [[activate]]" that are exclusively used by 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 [[DartzThe Great Leviathan]]. They In the Japanese version of the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' anime, the cards' texts are currently an all written in the [[animewikipedia:Enochian|Enochian]] archetypelanguage appearing in the circles, except for "[[Orichalcos ShunorosSword of Sealing]]", the only other "Orichalcos" card used by Rafael. In addition, the Field Spells all share the same effects, which doesnincludes increasing a monster't revolve around 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]]" at all. It was very likely inspired by is the strongest form of the previous "Orichalcos" Field Spells, which negates the fabled Atlantean metal effects of a card effect [[wikipedia:Orichalcum|Orichalcumtarget]]ing the player's monsters.

Judging from their anime appearances, The true strategy behind the series is to use the effects of the "Orichalcos cards are focused on half-" Field Spells and the revival effects of "[[Stall|stallOrichalcos Gigas]], half-" to [[Beatdownstall]] tactics by limiting the opponent's offensive tactics while building using the effects of "[[Life PointsMirror Knight Calling]] " and an army "[[Mirror Knight Token]]s" to implement the attack force. In addition, the effect of "[[Orichalcos Kyutora]]" is used to reduce [[monsterbattle damage]]sto 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 "[[Orichalcos KyutoraDivine Serpent Geh (anime)|KyutoraDivine Serpent Geh]]" in the anime is used as a contingency plan in case "Shunoros" was destroyed. It featured ∞ ATK/[[SummonDEF]]ed in 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 [[Spell & Trap Card ZoneGraveyard]] 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 So far, the only one that contains a [cards in the series released in the ''[monsterOCG]], "''/''[[Divine SerpentTCG]]'' are ", with infinite [[Original ATK and DEF|originalOrichalcos Shunoros]] " and "[[ATKThe Seal of Orichalcos]], but one that has a huge ". Prior to its release in ''[[cost]] in attacking and a winner-take-all style conditionLegendary Collection 3: Once itYugi's [[SummonWorld]]ed'', the latter card was not originally a legal card, while the former card was retooled as a [[controller]Normal Monster] loses their [[hand]] and [[Life Points]], but doesn't lose until it is removed from the [[fieldsupport]]card.

Literally translated, Orichalcos (Ορείχαλκος) means "brass". "Η Σφραγίδα του Ορείχαλκου" being Greek for "[[The Seal of wikipedia:Orichalcum|Orichalcos]]" literally translates into (Ορείχαλκος) is the Greek word meaning "''The Seal of Brassmountain copper/metal''", although some scholars believe that it refers to [[wikipedia:Brass#History|natural brass]]. "Ορείχαλκος Δεύτερος" in English being Consequently, "[[Orichalcos Deuteros]]" literally translates into ("Ορείχαλκος Δεύτερος") means "''Second Brasssecond brass'' and "Ορείχαλκος Τρίτος", while "[[Orichalcos Tritos]]", translating ("Ορείχαλκος Τρίτος") translates to "''third brass'Third Brass'".
