Ryzeal Deck #765328 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 50/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Mechanic: Xyz / Ritual
• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz and Ritual boss monsters (Ryzeal Detonator, Ryzeal Duo Drive, Dragluxion, AA-ZEUS, Number 38, Ame no Murakumo no Mitsurugi) built from a Ryzeal, Mitsurugi or Seventh starter; Mitsurugi Ritual chains and Mulcharmy draw pressure to grind out a second board
• Turn 1 (going first): Pre-Preparation of Rites or Seventh Tachyon to find the Ritual or Xyz engine, then Ice Ryzeal or Node Ryzeal into an Xyz boss, with Ash Blossom and Droll held up as backup interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and Maxx C to stop the opponent's first Special Summon or search, then rebuild through Mulcharmy and the Mitsurugi searchers
• Recovery: Mitsurugi searchers (Aramasa, Saji, Kusanagi) and Mulcharmy draws refill the hand; Seventh Ascension and Pre-Preparation of Rites provide extra searches from the Deck
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan in the evidence; post-side adaptation is structurally unavailable

Why it scores here

The deck reliably finds a starter through a broad searcher suite (22 searcher-text cards, P(at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.99), but the single most important starter, Ice Ryzeal, is only 3 copies at P ≈ 0.34 in the opening hand, so the T1 engine is real but not guaranteed. Conversion into pressure is strong on paper: the Extra Deck carries several 2500–3200 ATK boss options, and the main deck runs 8 negate or removal effects plus 6 hand-trap or tech cards that give it layered interaction. The score does not come from Ryzeal's popularity or from averaging card scores; with no combo boards, no tournament data and no win-rate telemetry, the floor and median are scored conservatively. The build's main limits are a 20% exact-archetype purity (Ryzeal, Mitsurugi, Seventh and Mulcharmy are mixed together), 14 one-of main-deck slots that add brick risk, and a Side Deck of zero cards, which leaves going-second adjustment unaddressed.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 54, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-2); engine_conflicts (-3); no_side_deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(59) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(48) + ContextModifiers(-7) = 49.8, rounded to 50 (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Dense searcher suite (22 searcher-text cards) gives high starter access
• Layered interaction: 6 hand traps plus 8 negate and 7 removal effects
• High-ATK Xyz and Ritual bosses in the Extra Deck give real closing power
• Complete legal build: all restricted cards at or below their legal copy limit

Weaknesses

• Zero Side Deck cards, so no post-side plan
• Only 20% exact-archetype purity; three engines compete for the same slots
• Ice Ryzeal, the T1 starter, is only 3 copies (P ≈ 0.34 in the opening hand)
• 14 one-of main-deck slots, several conditional, add brick risk

Critical choke points

• Ice Ryzeal (3 copies) as the main T1 starter
• Pre-Preparation of Rites as the main Ritual bridge
• Ryzeal Detonator (3 copies) as the primary Extra Deck boss

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in Master Duel: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side, all restricted cards at or below legal copies; Banlist status: six Limited one-ofs and two Semi-Limited cards at their legal cap; Archetype spread: Ryzeal, Mitsurugi, Seventh, Mulcharmy and generic cards, with 20% exact-name purity; Searcher-text count 22, negation 8, removal 7, hand-trap 6 from card text; No Side Deck registered
• Observed: Usage statistics show the 84–100% core cards Ryzeal Detonator, Ryzeal Duo Drive, Number 104 and King of the Feral Imps as absent, but the card list contains all four; this conflict is unresolved (see data_gaps)
• Inferred: Ice Ryzeal opening-hand odds of about 0.34 from hypergeometric draw estimates; Engine accessibility and brick risk from searcher density and one-of count; Going-second hand-trap coverage of about 0.65 from the hypergeometric estimate; Ceiling and interaction ratings from semantic read of card text, with no recorded boards
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (D13) and Meta Power, because no dated metagame sample or tournament link is present
• 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 are absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Usage-statistics inconsistency: usage_statistics marks Ryzeal Detonator, Ryzeal Duo Drive, Number 104 and King of the Feral Imps as not in the deck (copies_in_deck 0), but the cards array lists all four in the Extra Deck; the missing_core list is therefore unreliable for these four Side Deck is empty: no post-side or going-second adjustment data Meta Power is Provisional: no dated metagame sample supplied
