GX - Episode 173|173]] || Win|} Trueman's main deck is an '''Archetype Deck''', based around using the [[card effect|effect]] of "[[Dark Archetype]]" to quickly Summon a variety of powerful [[Monster Card|monsters]]. Because Trueman can manifest through any bunch of cards, his Deck features an enormous amount of variety. Running "Dark Archetype" helps to ensure his deck maintains a degree of consistency, even if it means taking heavy damage early in the game. Also, as part of his "darkness" theme, most of his key monsters are of the [[DARK]] [[Attribute]]. Trueman's Deck also evolves each time he loses a Duel, as he has an improved (and usually more homogeneous) Deck in his next appearance. Trueman's Archetype Deck features three major stages during Trueman's duels with Jaden.** First; in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 157|Trueman's debut duel]], his deck appears to be a relatively disorganized '''DARK Knight''' deck (featuring cards like "[[Zure, Knight of Dark World]]" and "[[Familiar Knight]]").==** Second; during [[Yu-Gi-Oh! In {{episode|GX - Episode 158|Trueman's rematch with Jaden]] he changes to a '''Fusion Deck''' focused on summoning "[[Meteor B. Dragon]]." This deck also had a [[FIRE]] sub-theme, featuring unrelated cards such as "[[Twinheaded Beast]]" and "[[Molten Zombie]]."** Third; during Trueman's [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 160169|final match with Jaden]]ref}}, he runs a dedicated '''Dragon Deck''' focused on summoning "[[Five-Headed DragonAxel Brodie]]." Interestingly, uses this is the only duel in which Trueman does not use "[[Dark Archetype]]" before card during his adopting Duel against [[Taigo Sorano|Taigo Sorano's]] identity. Trueman also has the ability to copy any Duelist's appearance and Deck, as long as public memory of the Deck exists. After his third loss to Jaden, he defeats [[Taigo Sorano]] and mimics both his '''[[#Horus|Horus]] Lockdown''' Deck and appearance to blend in with the rest of Duel Academy. He uses Sorano's Deck this card to defeat most of the remaining student body, including send "[[Syrus Truesdale]] and [[Tyranno Hassleberry]]. With a majority of the students pulled into the [[World of Darkness]] Volcanic Scattershot (and thus memory of Sorano goneanime), Trueman reverted back to his own Deck to defeat the remaining students, including [[Chazz Princeton]] and [[Alexis Rhodes]].  At the same time, Trueman also made use of a special '''[[|VolcanicScattershot]]''' variation on his "[[Dark Archetype]]" deck for his duel with [[Axel Brodie]]– a near-replica of the deck used by [[Mr. Brodie|Axel's Father]].  Trueman's crusade ultimately left only [[Jaden Yuki]] and [[Jesse Anderson]] unaffected. Trueman presumably also copied both Axel's and Jaden's Deck, as well as their appearance, but never used them since Jaden succeeded in escaping from him. {{Decklist|Dark Archetype Deck|normal monsters =* [[Meteor Dragon]]* [[Zure, Knight of Dark World]]<ref group=Notes name=archetype1>This card is [[send|sent]] from his [[Main Deck|Deckhand]] to the [[Graveyard]] to Summon "and [[Reign-Beaux, Overlord of Dark WorldSpecial Summon]]" via the [[effectVolcanic Rat]] of "[[Dark Archetype]]and " during [[Yu-Gi-Oh!
