[quote]Just as the Orichalcos’ double-chevron pattern has 6 points to its design, The Seal of Orichalcos has 6 sentences of text. We’ll talk about the first – and most important – sentence today, and let you play fill-in-the-blank with the others until they, too, are revealed:

All monsters you control gain 500 ATK.

Speculated effect:

All monsters you control gain 500 ATK.
Once per turn, this card cannot be destroyed by card effects.
While you control 2 or more face-up Attack Position monsters, your opponent cannot target your monster(s) with the lowest ATK for an attack.
When this card is (activated/destroyed??): Destroy all Special Summoned monsters you control.
You cannot Special Summon monsters from your Extra Deck.
You can only activate “The Seal of Orichalcos” once per duel.

Damn it, you beat me to it.

I find it interesting that the article suggests this will become a staple in Six Sams and Madolche.

[JadenxAtemYAOI]

Malefics would quite a lot of fun with this.

[Kingdom Xathers]

First effect's a no-brainer. Everyone and their granny saw that coming.

But, seriously, six sentences total? This'll be interesting....

Now where did you steal this effect from?

The only place i found this speculated effect and the same "Is is destroyed or activated" part is pojo.

Also,rofl at how it says samurai can use it along with [i]their field spell[/i],which nobody really uses.

someone posted it on DGz

[quote]Me and AEtherchild came up with this:

All monsters you control gain 500 ATK.
Once per turn, this card cannot be destroyed by card effects.
While you control 2 or more face-up Attack Position monsters, your opponent cannot target your monster(s) with the lowest ATK for an attack.
When this card is activated: Destroy all Special Summoned monsters you control.
You cannot Special Summon monsters from your Extra Deck.
You can only activate “The Seal of Orichalcos” once per duel.

Others say "When this card is destroyed" instead of "When this card is activated". Could go either way. Kinda sucks that me and AEtherchild figured the whole thing out in 10 minutes then realized Pojo as a group effort figured the whole thing out in an hour, finishing 10 minutes before us. Twenty f***ing scrubs took an hour to figure it out, but they'll get all the glory for figuring it out first.[/quote]

On the speculated effect:

+ extra 500 ATK
+ protects weaker monsters
- very easy to destroy
- can only be played once
- shuts your Extra Deck down
- blows up your field when destroyed/activated??

If it comes out like that I'll get it for nostalgic purposes but there's no way I'd ever expect it to see play. It'd need more protection and allow Extra Deck access for me to give it a thumbs up.

Even though it won't happen, I had for a minute the crazy thought that it would have Match Winner as part of its effect. To capture the stealing the soul of the loser part.

But it really, really won't. At least so long as anyone on the team designing this is remotely sane.

Casual, could see some play, elsewhere, lack of access to the extra deck means that almost nothing will run this. Except possibly crazy Rock Stun players, becuase this gives them a field of things that can run over Laggia by itself. And they really don't care for special summons. but yeah, its to resctricting nowadays.

Speculated effect has more drawbacks then actual effects.
....
I'm iffy.

The symbol for this new pack looks like a transmutation alcemy circle.

The entirety of Yugioh is a let down.

[Expelsword]

That can't possibly be the right effect.
Playing it is practically asking to lose.

[Canadian]

Its probably when destroyed it'll nuke since they mentioned gorz token stuff.

And they wouldnt mention it if it was activated cause then you could never get into that situation since you need a clear field.

1) yeah we all saw that coming
2) I can see that, but it seems kinda silly to be once per turn
3) this effect is likely right
4) no. no f***ing way. it makes the card suck completely
5) site 4.
6) I highly doubt that

The bit about making the game looks like classic battles Makes me think in:
What if they experiment with an effect on the lines of "Monsters on the field can only be destroyed by battle"

Can't even use it in Malefics anymore. Sucks.

The speculated effect says you can't Special Summon from the Extra Deck, not from the hand. |:

>Cant Special Summon from the Extra Deck
Oh good, I can still use Eye of Timeaus to create a new card out of thin air.

And don't forget this:

[quote]A 500 ATK boost is no small deal. Even a 100 point boost is enough to let your monsters win out against similar monsters your opponent controls, especially in a mirror-match or [b]if you’re both using similar Extra Deck monsters.[/b] But 500 points? That raises your monsters to an entirely new category.[/quote]

[White Void]

So, Tewart blows at this game clearly.

Intereting use I can think of for this right now using everything we know: Special Summon Jester Confit by its effect. Where Arf Thou? into Wisel or Granel. Terraforming into Seal if necessary. Drop Seal. Confit is nuked and you get a 3000 Wisel or whatever + 500 Granel.

...Is this even confirmed?
