Because Trueman can manifest through any bunch of cards, uses this card during 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 against [[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 (anime)|Zure, Knight of Dark World]]" and "[[Familiar Knight (anime)|Familiar Knight]]").* Second; during [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 158|Trueman's rematch with Jaden]] he changes He uses this card to a '''Fusion Deck''' focused on summoning send "[[Meteor B. Dragon]]." This deck also had a [[FIRE]] sub-theme, featuring unrelated cards such as "[[Twinheaded Beast Volcanic Scattershot (anime)|Twinheaded BeastVolcanic Scattershot]]" and "[[Molten Zombie (anime)|Molten Zombie]]."* Third; during Trueman's [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 160|final match with Jaden]], he runs a dedicated '''Dragon Deck''' focused on summoning "[[Five-Headed Dragon (later anime)|Five-Headed Dragon]]." Interestingly, this is the only duel in which Trueman does not use "[[Dark Archetype]]" before from his adopting [[Taigo Sorano|Taigo Sorano'shand]] 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 SoranoGraveyard]] and mimics both his '''[[Horus the Black Flame Dragon|Horus LockdownSpecial Summon]]''' Deck and appearance to blend in with the rest of Duel Academy. He uses Sorano's Deck to defeat most of the remaining student body, including "[[Syrus TruesdaleVolcanic Rat]] " and [[Tyranno Hassleberry]]. With a majority of the students pulled into the [[World of Darkness]] (and thus memory of Sorano gone), 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 '''"[[VolcanicHammerer]]''' 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]].  from 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 (anime)|Meteor Dragon]]* [[Zure, Knight of Dark World (anime)|Zure, Knight of Dark World]]<ref group=Notes name=archetype1>This card is [[send|sent]] from his [[Main Deck|Deck]] to the [[Graveyard]] to Summon "[[Reign-Beaux, Overlord of Dark World (anime)|Reign-Beaux, Overlord his side of Dark World]]" via the [[effect]] of "[[Dark Archetype (anime)|Dark Archetype]]" during [[Yu-Gi-Oh!
