Time for a long requested edition of Archetype Informer! Also a partial joke edition, since this group of cards doesn't exist outside one of them. As such, it will be handled a but differently. We're tackling the power of the Orichalcos!
First of are the cards in the archetype:
MONSTERS
Orichalcos Kyutora
Orichalcos Gigas
Orichalcos Shunoros
Orichalcos Aristeros
Orichalcos Dexia
Orichalcos Malevolence
Orichalcos Mirror
Divine Serpent Geh
SPELLS
The Seal of Orichalcos Malevolence
Orichalcos Deuteros
Orichalcos Tritos
Orichalcos Sword of Sealing
Mirror Knight Calling
Now, the whole point of the deck is ultimately to stall with Kyutora and Gigas while you play each level of the Seal. You stall and beatdown with these two cards while gaining Life Points and negating your opponent's effects so you can eventually summon the Divine Serpent Geh and give it a crapload of ATK. The problem with this strategy is that, while your snake will likely be the strongest monster in the duel, it has no means of self defense outside of the Seal
Most of the time you can win with just Kyutora nulling all damage you take and Gigas attacking everything in sight. Anytime Gigas is destroyed it comes right back with 500 more ATK, and since Kyutora absorbs all damage, you can essentially make Gigas the strongest thing in play each round no matter what its up against. The only way to break this combo is to banish Gigas or destroy Kyutora via cards effect, but even that isn't a good idea. If Kyutora is eliminated after absorbing enough damage, it brings out Orichalcos Shunoros, Dexia, and Asesteros (all of which are always stronger than anything they fight)
Combine that with the Mirror Knight Calling which brings four Reflect Bounder-like monsters with the effect to keep their effects via Mirror, along with Malevolence which stops all enemies from defending, and you can see why these cards are NEVER going to released (unless they get SERIOUSLY dummed down)
This deck was on DevPro for a short period of time, and I don't think I ever lost while using it, nor could I ever find a way to beat it. It is a broken group of cards that are a LOT of fun to cause chaos with, so if you can get DevPro on your tablet or phone I highly suggest doing so because that's the only way to get the version that lets you use these guys~
