Trueman's main deck is an Archetype Deck, based around using the effect of "Dark Archetype" to Summon a variety of powerful monsters. Because he can manifest himself through any bunch of cards, for the most part, his Deck features an enormous degree of variety. Running "Dark Archetype" helps to ensure his deck has 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 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 uses both his Horus Lockdown Deck and appearance to blend in with the rest of Duel Academy. He uses Sorano's Deck to defeat much of the student body, including Syrus Truesdale and Tyranno Hassleberry. With most of the students pulled into the World of Darkness (and thus memory of Sorano gone), Trueman reverted back to his own Deck and defeats the remainder of the students, including Chazz Princeton and Alexis Rhodes.

At the same time, Trueman additionally ran a Volcanic variation on his "Dark Archetype" deck for his duel with Axel Brodie– a near-replica of the deck used by 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.

Trueman uses this Deck for normal Duels.

Trueman only uses this Deck when battling the Season 4 variant of Jaden Yuki.

In the third event in Bastion Misawa's story, Trueman uses a "Dark World" Deck.

If you Duel Trueman while having banned cards in your Deck, he will use a different Dark World Deck.
