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.

Trueman uses a '''Dark Archetype Deck''', based around using the effect of "[[Dark Archetype (anime)|Dark Archetype]]" to quickly Summon a variety of powerful [[Monster Card|monsters]]. Because Trueman can manifest through any bunch of cards, his Deck features a variety of tactics, where "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. This Deck features three major stages during Trueman's Duels against [[Jaden Yuki]]:
−
** 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]]").
+
* First, for [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 157|Trueman's debut Duel]], he uses a relatively disorganized '''DARK Knight Deck''' centered around the Summoning of "[[Reign-Beaux, Overlord of Dark World (anime)|Reign-Beaux, Overlord of Dark World]]". His Deck also consists of DARK monsters with a knight-like appearance such as "[[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 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 160|final match with Jaden]], he runs a dedicated '''Dragon Deck''' focused on summoning "[[Five-Headed Dragon]]." Interestingly, this is the only duel in which Trueman does not use "[[Dark Archetype]]" before his adopting [[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 to defeat most of the remaining student body, including [[Syrus Truesdale]] 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]].  
+
* Second, for [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 158|Trueman's rematch against Jaden]], he uses a relatively disorganized '''FIRE Fusion Deck''' centered around the [[Fusion Summon]]ing of "[[Meteor B. Dragon (anime)|Meteor Black Dragon]]". This Deck features a variety of unrelated [[FIRE]] monsters such as "[[Twinheaded Beast (anime)|Twinheaded Beast]]" and "[[Molten Zombie (anime)|Molten Zombie]]", reflecting how the rematch takes place at the [[Duel Academy]] island's volcano.
  
−
At the same time, Trueman also made use of a special '''[[Volcanic]]''' 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]].
+
* Third, for [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 160|Trueman's final Duel against Jaden]], he runs a dedicated '''Fusion Dragon Deck''' centered around the quick Fusion Summoning of multiple "[[Five-Headed Dragon (later anime)|Five-Headed Dragons]]" and uses [[Aggro]] [[Beatdown]] tactics to quickly [[destroy]] Jaden's defensive monsters. Interestingly, this is the only Duel in which Trueman does not use "[[Dark Archetype]]".
−
 
 
−
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.

Trueman plays a variety of Decks, as he can manifest himself out of any variety of cards and copy the Decks of Duelists he defeats.

Anime[edit]

Record
Opponent(s) Episode(s) Outcome(s)
Jaden Yuki 157 Lose
Jaden Yuki 158 Lose
Jaden Yuki 160 Lose
Taigo Sorano 168 Win
4 Obelisk Blue students 168 Win
Chazz Princeton 173 Win
Mindy 173 Win (off-screen)
Jasmine 173 Win (off-screen)
Alexis Rhodes 173 Win

Trueman uses a Dark Archetype Deck, based around using the effect of "Dark Archetype" to quickly Summon a variety of powerful monsters. Because Trueman can manifest through any bunch of cards, his Deck features a variety of tactics, where "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. This Deck features three major stages during Trueman's Duels against Jaden Yuki:

Volcanic Burn[edit]

Record
Opponent(s) Episode(s) Outcome(s)
Axel Brodie 169 Win

For his Duel against Axel Brodie, Trueman uses a special Volcanic variation on his "Dark Archetype" Deck for his Duel against Axel Brodie, which is a near-replica of the Deck used by Axel's father. Trueman uses cards such as "Volcanic Queen" and "The Unchosen One" to exploit Axel's darkness to remind him of a childhood incident, when he and his parents were involved in a car accident that was set on fire and he had to choose between saving his father or his mother.

Horus[edit]

After defeating Daigo Sorano, Trueman assumes his appearance and his Horus Lockdown Deck to defeat most of the remaining student body, including Syrus Truesdale and Tyranno Hassleberry. With a majority of the students pulled into the World of Darkness, Trueman reverted to his original Deck to defeat the remaining students, including Chazz Princeton and Alexis Rhodes.

Record
Opponent(s) Episode(s) Outcome(s)
Tyranno Hassleberry 172 Win
Syrus Truesdale 173 Win
Various Duel Academy students 173 Win

Notes[edit]

  1. ↑ a b This card is sent from his Deck to the Graveyard to Summon "Reign-Beaux, Overlord of Dark World" via the effect of "Dark Archetype" during episode 158.
  2. ↑ This card is sent from his Deck to the Graveyard to activate "Power Gift" during episode 159.
  3. ↑ This card is sent from his Deck to the Graveyard to Summon "Meteor Dragon" via the effect of "Dark Archetype" during episode 159.
  4. ↑ a b This card is Set during episode 160, but is not activated.
