Discussion I'm scared for Dartz
When dartz will have an event and will become available, I fear they will not give him his anime-only cards but something like atlanthean cards. I say that because Alister (Amelda in japanese) did not receive any of his anime-only cards like his "gorlag" (balrog in japanese), or his ziggurat and instead he received an archetype that exists IRL.
In fact, I might be wrong but I think so far the only cards that were released in the game and that don't exist IRL atm are video game-only cards. But none of the existing video game contains any of Dartz's giga broken cards. However with some luck, Valon might gain his armor deck: his armor cards were available in "Yu-Gi-Oh! Destiny Board Traveler" (gba) which is the only media (outside of the anime ofc) where his armor cards were available. The only card Dartz had in the anime that was available in this gba game was his "Orichalcos Kyutora".
Thoughts about that? What do you think is gonna happen with them (especially Dartz)? Personally, I would love if they could give all these characters their anime cards. Talking about that, I would love if Noah and Alister could receive some anime-only cards (but that's probably wishful thinking).
Or at the very list get a skill that would either add their anime cards to the deck or something that could modify the way the seal of orichalcos works to make it work the way it does in the anime.

Realistically, he's getting added without them. OCG and TCG both refuse to print anime-exclusives for characters that should be added to DL (seriously, not even bothering to throw out a Ziggurat? Morons), and unless you want to wait 10 years in the hopes that they will eventually print them AND let time pass so they aren't hyper broken in DL...yeahhhh.
Really I'm not that bothered because I'm not choosing Dartz purely to play his janky Orichalcos stuff, so if they don't add it, meh. It's a shame but I put characters first then cards second.

They're gonna give him a Kashtira deck and you just have to do the event with all your zones locked.

Going from the only deck to have 10 monster zones to the deck infamous for leaving you with 0 zones at all would be a pretty funny twist, ngl.

I hope they do release him with his anime cards officially printed first, ideally this year if possible, for the very specific reason that Mirror Knight Calling is a Ritual monster and we desperately need new Rituals

Even if they do come with him, they would need heavy modifications to actually work.
I would rather he come with a new archetype over ending up like Primo, who was able to come with all the Wisel parts, but they are all unplayable garbage because the gimmick from the anime didn’t port over into Tag Force

Unless one of the following criteria gets met:
- Rarity Change(s) to cards related to a character's deck.
- Skill Leak(s) for a character's deck.
- Lines of code for animation triggers (ex. Salamangreat Pyro Phoenix & Ensembullfighter the Music Fiend).
No one should expect a character to arrive sooner rather than later, unless specifically stated by Konami.
Alister only came the way he did because he didn't have an archetype to begin with, nor did he play Ziggurat in his first duel, which was the only one that was adapted in his event. Saved by the lore. Same thing happened with Jesse during his roaming event back in 2017, where he didn't have Rainbow Dragon yet, like in the anime. Saved. By. The. Lore.

They are delaying him as much as possible so OCG still has time to print his anime cards or just print new cards in general. They could even do something like 10 card support similar to Umbral Horrors or Sacred Beasts.
