Ryzeal Deck #756900 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 41 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ryzeal and Mitsurugi Xyz/Ritual boards (Ame no Murakumo no Mitsurugi, Dragluxion, Mereologic Aggregator, The Dragon that Devours the Dogma) (Inferred); Ame no Murakumo no Mitsurugi board-wipe on Special Summon, then Xyz pressure (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Search and summon Ryzeal/Mitsurugi starters through Pre-Preparation of Rites, Mitsurugi Ritual and the Mitsurugi searchers, then ritual or Xyz into a 2500+ ATK body (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll and Maxx C to answer the opponent's first summon or draw, then convert with Ritual or Xyz (Inferred)
• Recovery: Mitsurugi and Ryzeal recursion from GY and banish (Ame no Habakiri, Mitsurugi Great Purification, Mitsurugi Prayers) (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal: Dimension Shifter is Forbidden in Master Duel and the deck runs one copy, so the score is capped and reported as structural-only. Structurally the deck reliably opens Ryzeal/Mitsurugi starters (P of at least one archetype-core card in the opening five is about 0.997 on the core-group proxy, Inferred), has 19 searcher-text cards and 7 hand traps for resilience, and has real board-wipe and Xyz/Ritual closing power. Its weaknesses are a 14.3% exact-name Ryzeal purity, a split Extra Deck across Skyblaster, Lswarm, Elemental HERO and Albaz pieces, and zero Side Deck cards. No combo boards, win-rate data or tournament results exist, so the floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences. The score comes from consistency, redundancy, interaction and resource recursion evaluated on the system, not from Ryzeal's popularity or from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-6); Illegal cap (-10). Final formula: Structural 52.7 (Midrange weights); 0.80*52.7 + 0.20*45 = 51.2; banlist exposure modifier -6 = 45.2; Illegal cap applied -> 35 (structural-only). Meta Power provisional/null.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 1 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense Ryzeal and Mitsurugi searcher and starter package (19 searcher-text cards)
• Seven hand traps plus Droll and Maxx C give several answers to a first summon
• Ame no Murakumo no Mitsurugi board-wipe and 3200 ATK closing body
• Recursion from GY and banish supports multi-turn resource regeneration

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Dimension Shifter (Forbidden) runs one copy
• Exact-name Ryzeal purity 14.3%; core is split across sub-archetypes
• Extra Deck contains off-archetype cards (Skyblaster, Lswarm, Elemental HERO, Albaz)
• No Side Deck cards, so no post-side adaptability
• Ryzeal Duo Drive and Ryzeal Detonator, the archetype's Extra Deck anchors, are not run

Critical choke points

• Dimension Shifter must be removed before the list can be played
• Ritual Summon through Mitsurugi Ritual requires Reptile tributes, so the Ritual line stalls without Reptile monsters in hand or field

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Dimension Shifter is Forbidden (0 legal copies) and run once, making the list Illegal; Main 41 and Extra 15 are within Master Duel size rules; Side 0 is legal; Archetype purity 14.3% and 19 searcher-text cards from the card list
• Observed: Usage statistics: 17 of 25 core cards present (68%)
• Inferred: Starter access and brick estimates from the hypergeometric probabilities; Interaction and recursion read from card text; Midrange primary strategy from composition and text
• Provisional: Meta and format fit (D13) and tournament reliability; no dated sample or tournament link
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null in the source
