Ryzeal Deck #765102 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 60/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ritual Summon Ame no Murakumo no Mitsurugi (3200 ATK, destroys opposing monsters on Special Summon) or a Ryzeal Xyz boss (Detonator 3000, Duo Drive 2500) built off Ryzeal and Mitsurugi bodies; Fusion and Xyz boss pressure from the Extra Deck (Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Light Dragon @Ignister, Vallon, Eclipse Twins)
• Turn 1 (going first): Pre-Preparation of Rites or Bonfire for a Mitsurugi Ritual, then Ritual Summon via Mitsurugi Ritual/Mirror, or Ice Ryzeal into a Rank 4 Xyz, with Ash Blossom and Maxx C up for the opponent's response
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and Maxx C to answer the first search or summon, then rebuild through Mitsurugi Saji/Kusanagi/Aramasa searches or Mulcharmy draw pressure
• Recovery: Mitsurugi monsters recur via Futsu no Mitama no Mitsurugi (GY Reptile revival) and Mitsurugi Prayers/Kusanagi searches; Pre-Preparation and Super Polymerization recover the Ritual and Fusion lines
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan to score

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional plan reliably: its archetype core (27 copies) has about a 99.8% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred, proxy estimate), and 17 searcher-text cards give about a 95% chance of at least one search-capable card. Its ceiling comes from Ritual Summoning Ame no Murakumo no Mitsurugi (3200 ATK, destroys opposing monsters on summon) and Ryzeal Xyz bosses, with 6 hand traps and a board of negation and removal text supplying interaction. Score was reached on the system: engine consistency, a split between Mitsurugi and Ryzeal lines, interaction density and recovery through Mitsurugi recursion. Popularity did not earn points: archetype usage statistics confirm the list is standard, not that it is strong, and no per-card scores were averaged. The deck loses points for two engines that compete for the same board and tributes (exact-name Ryzeal purity 14.5%), no Side Deck, and no recorded boards to confirm the median output.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Combo secondary; meta-neutral structural (D13 dropped and re-normalized over 95). Structural ≈ 65, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: engine_conflict (-4); no_side_deck (-2); hand_trap_density (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); 0.80*65 + 0.20*58 = 63.6, then modifiers -4 = 59.6, rounded to 60

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

• Layered interaction: 6 hand traps, Murakumo board wipe, Great Purification and Detonator removal text
• Strong closing bodies at 2500 to 3200 ATK in the Extra Deck and Main Deck
• Searcher density (17) and recursion keep resources flowing

Weaknesses

• Two engines (Mitsurugi and Ryzeal) with conflicting tribute and summon requirements
• No Side Deck, so no matchup adjustment
• No recorded boards to confirm combo ceiling or median output

Critical choke points

• Ritual Summon of Murakumo depends on Mitsurugi Ritual or Mirror and enough Reptile tributes
• Limited cards (Ext Ryzeal, Sword Ryzeal, Maxx C, Mitsurugi Prayers, Bonfire) are single-copy, so one lost card removes a line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in master-duel: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; copy limits satisfied (Limited and Semi-Limited cards at legal count); Archetype purity 14.5% exact name; 16 Mitsurugi, 8 Ryzeal, 22 generic copies; Hypergeometric draw odds from the Main Deck
• Observed: Archetype usage stats show a standard core (17 of 25 core cards present)
• Inferred: D1 engine consistency, D2 brick management, D5 resilience and D7 interaction quality from card text; Going-first and going-second power estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (D13), since no tournament link exists
• 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 Usage stats flag several Extra Deck cards (King of the Feral Imps, Number 104, Number 60, Vallon, Detonator, Duo Drive, Mereologic, Eclipse Twins) as in_this_deck=false while the cards list includes them in the Extra Deck; the discrepancy is unresolved, and this evaluation uses the cards list no win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second and matchup results unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
