Part 5: Tips to Beat the Dartz Mod
This mod is brutal. Dartz does not play by standard rules. Here is how to win:
- Destroy the Seal Immediately: The Seal of Orichalcos prevents you from Special Summoning from the Extra Deck. Pack 3 copies of Mystical Space Typhoon, Dust Tornado, or Heavy Storm.
- Banish his Graveyard: Dartz uses cards like Orichalcos Tritos to cycle monsters. Use Soul Release or Disappear to banish his key pieces.
- Out-Speed Him: The mod uses a 2004 banlist. That means Pot of Greed, Graceful Charity, and Raigeki are all legal. Use them unapologetically.
- Survive the Kyutora Wall: If Dartz summons Orichalcos Kyutora (gains 500 ATK for each monster in his graveyard), do not attack it. Instead, flip it face-down with Book of Moon or return it to his hand with Hane-Hane.
- Watch for Divine Serpent Geh: If the duel goes past turn 10, he will summon Divine Serpent Geh (infinite ATK). Your only counters are Magic Cylinder or Mirror Force.
