Ryzeal Deck #762572 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Toolbox
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 13 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ryzeal Xyz board (Ryzeal Detonator / Ryzeal Duo Drive / Star Ryzeal line) converting into attacks and removal; Gagaga / Dododo / Mulcharmy disruption-and-recursion value via Gagagaga Girl and Onomatopaira searches
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Ryzeal starter (Ice Ryzeal, Sword Ryzeal, Node Ryzeal or Star Ryzeal) and use Bonfire or Sword Ryzeal searches to reach a Rank 4 Xyz; hold Ash Blossom and Droll for the first interruption
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand to stack Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Belle and Nibiru-style hand traps against the opponent's first summon, then rebuild through Gagaga and Dododo searches
• Recovery: Ryzeal Cross and Node Ryzeal recursion from the GY, plus Mulcharmy draws when the hand is nearly empty
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck's score comes from how its parts interact as a system, not from averaging card power: a Ryzeal Xyz core with 13 Extra Deck Xyz monsters, a dense layer of hand traps and negations (Ash Blossom x3, Droll & Lock Bird x2, Ghost Belle x3, Nibiru, Solemn Strike and Solemn Judgment) that give it real going-second interaction, and a reasonable chance of finding a starter in the opening hand (about 0.96 for the archetype-core group, Inferred). Conversion is weak in evidence: no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-based inference and the median is held down by 9 off-archetype Dododo, Mulcharmy, Gagaga and Greed copies (exact-name Ryzeal purity 17.6%) and 19 tech slots that do not extend a line. The list is currently Illegal: Seventh Tachyon and Ash Blossom are over their copy limits and Bagooska is Forbidden, so the score is capped and the evaluation is structural-only. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, and no tournament or win-rate data supports a meta score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12); hard garnet burden (0); illegal list cap (-6). Final formula: Illegal: 0.80*Structural(50) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 48, minus banlist-exposure modifier (-12) = 36, then capped to 30 as an Illegal list; theoretical/structural-only, Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Large hand-trap and negation layer that answers early summons and spells, strongest going second
• Real Xyz engine with 13 Extra Deck Xyz monsters and a 3000 ATK closer in Ryzeal Detonator
• Core starters appear in the opening hand often (about 0.96 for the archetype-core group, Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Legality: three cards over copy limit or Forbidden, so the list cannot be played as built
• Low archetype purity (17.6% exact Ryzeal names) with 9 off-archetype copies diluting the engine
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability
• No recorded boards, so the ceiling and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Ryzeal Xyz material availability (Rank 4 Xyz needed to extend the line)
• Hand traps sharing the same single-use window on the opponent's first summon

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 13, Side 0: legal size range; Seventh Tachyon 3 vs 1, Ash Blossom 3 vs 2, Bagooska Forbidden in TCG list; Exact-name Ryzeal purity 12 of 68 copies (17.6%)
• Inferred: Starter access ≈ 0.96 for archetype-core group; Hand-trap coverage 0.677 in the going-second 6-card hand; Interaction density and resilience from card text and role tags
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample or tournament link
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN for going-first/second, matchup or brick/starter rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null in the export
