'''"Orichalcos"''', spelled "'''Oreichalcos"''' (オレイカルコス ''Oreikarukosu'') in the Japanese version, is a [[series]] of cards that revolves around "[[The Seal of Orichalcos]]" and are used by [[Dartz]]. It is currently an anime-only series, except for "[[Orichalcos Shunoros]]" (which had its effect changed to support [[Normal Monster]]s when it was released), and "[[The Seal of Orichalcos]]"(which kept part of its effects, but still went through changes), which was released in ''[[Legendary Collection 3: Yugi's World]]''. It was very likely inspired by the fabled Atlantean metal [[wikipedia:Orichalcum|Orichalcum]].
"Orichalcos" cards are focused on half-[[stall]], half-[[Beatdown]] tactics by limiting the opponent's offensive tactics while building [[Life Points]] and an army of [[Monster Card|monsters]].
The related "[[Divine Serpent]]" has infinite [[Original ATK and DEF|original]] [[ATK]], but one that has a huge [[cost]] in attacking and a winner-take-all style condition: Once it's [[Summon]]ed, the [[controller]] loses their [[hand]] and [[Life Points]], but doesn't lose until it is removed from the [[field]].
So far, only "[[Orichalcos Shunoros]]" has and "[[The Seal of Orichalcos]]" have a [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game|OCG]]/[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game|TCG]] equivalent released in [[Limited Edition Pack 15]]and [Extra Pack 2012]]; since "[[The Seal of Orichalcos]]" was not originally a legal and available card, "Orichalcos Shunoros" was retooled as a [[Normal Monster]] [[support]] card. However, "[[The Seal of Orichalcos]]" has now been released with ''[[Legendary Collection 3: Yugi's World]]'' in the ''[[TCG]]'' and will be included in the [[Extra Pack 2012]] for the OCG.
Literally translated, "Orichalcos" (Ορείχαλκος) means "brass". "Η Σφραγίδα του Ορείχαλκου" being Greek for "[[The Seal of Orichalcos]]" literally translates into ''The Seal of Brass''. "Ορείχαλκος Δεύτερος" in English being "[[Orichalcos Deuteros]]" literally translates into ''Second Brass'' and "Ορείχαλκος Τρίτος", "[[Orichalcos Tritos]]", translating to ''Third Brass''.
