Identity & game plan

Win condition: Ritual Summon Mitsurugi Ritual monsters (Ame no Habakiri, Ame no Murakumo, Futsu no Mitama) off Reptile tributes, then convert the board with 2400-3200 ATK bodies and Xyz boss monsters (Ryzeal Detonator, Ryzeal Duo Drive, Vallon).; Xyz Rank 4 and Rank 8 boards built from Ryzeal and generic Level 4 monsters, backed by Fusion and Link options in the Extra Deck.
Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Reptile searcher (Mitsurugi no Mikoto Saji, Aramasa or Kusanagi) to add a Mitsurugi card, then Mitsurugi Ritual or Mitsurugi Mirror into a Level 8 Ritual Monster; Ice Ryzeal, Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Pre-Preparation of Rites provide redundant starts.
Turn 2 (going second): Hold Droll & Lock Bird, Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Maxx C to answer the opponent's first search or summon, then rebuild through Pre-Preparation of Rites and the Reptile searchers.
Recovery: Ritual Monsters and Mitsurugi Prayers recycle from the Graveyard, Futsu no Mitama revives Reptiles, and Ryzeal monsters attach from the GY to Ryzeal Duo Drive.
After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; any sideboarding requires adding cards to the Side Deck first.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens because 17 searcher-text cards and a 22-copy archetype core give about a 0.99 chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, a proxy estimate (Inferred). Its ceiling comes from Ritual Summoning 2400-3200 ATK Mitsurugi monsters and Xyz bosses, but the median is held back because no recorded boards exist to confirm how often that line actually completes (Inferred). Interaction is dense for a Master Duel list: Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Ame no Murakumo negation, and Habakiri's static ATK reduction all contribute to the end-board and going-second scores. Popularity and the single guide's endorsement confirm the list is real and accessible, but they earned no points; the score comes from the system's consistency, median output, and interaction, not from averaging the cards' individual scores. The deck loses points for having no Side Deck, a few off-plan singletons (Seventh Tachyon, Mulcharmy and Ice Ryzeal in a Reptile-ritual shell), and a dependence on Droll-vulnerable searching.

Dimension scores

#	Dimension	Score	Evidence
D1	Engine Accessibility & Consistency	78	Searcher-text count 17 gives P(at least one searcher in opening 5) of 0.949, and the archetype core gives 0.987 (Inferred from hypergeometric estimates).
D2	Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management	68	Brick risk is moderate: many single-copy Reptile and Ritual pieces and a few conflicting Normal Summons, but redundant searchers soften it (Inferred).
D3	Combo Conversion & Ceiling	72	Ceiling comes from Level 8 Ritual Monsters and Rank 4/8 Xyz routes, with no recorded boards to measure it (Inferred semantic read from card text).
D4	Combo Floor & Median Output	58	Median is unmeasured because combos_evidence has no parseable boards; the estimate rests on starter redundancy and a Droll-vulnerable searching engine (Inferred).
D5	Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy	66	Three Reptile searchers, Pre-Preparation of Rites and Graveyard recursion give several independent routes after one interruption (Inferred).
D6	Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind	64	Ritual Monsters recycle through Pre-Preparation of Rites and Futsu no Mitama, and Ryzeal monsters attach from the GY, but Xyz material is consumed each turn (Inferred).
D7	End-Board & Interaction Quality	74	Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Mitsurugi Great Purification and Murakumo's negate layer multiple interaction types (Inferred from card text and role tags).
D8	Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power	70	Going-second hand-trap coverage is 0.65 for a 6-card hand, plus Habakiri's -800 ATK and Murakumo's board wipe (Inferred).
D9	Offensive Pressure & Closing Power	70	Attack ceiling is 3000 to 3200 from Ryzeal Detonator, Murakumo and The Dragon that Devours the Dogma, with no measured closing rate (Inferred).
D10	Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility	60	24 distinct main cards in 40 slots, with 29.1 percent exact-name Mitsurugi purity and off-plan Ryzeal, Mulcharmy and Seventh singletons (Verified composition, Inferred judgement).
D11	Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage	58	Extra Deck runs 10 Xyz, 4 Fusion and 1 Link, with several single-copy Extra cards that need specific material routes (Verified composition, Inferred judgement).
D12	Side Deck Adaptability	25	No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side construction exists to score; this is structural (Verified).
D13	Matchup Coverage & Format Fit	50	No tournament link or dated meta sample exists, so matchup and format fit are Provisional.
D14	Pilotability & Error Tolerance	55	The deck has a multi-step Ritual, Tribute and Xyz routine with many decision points, which is manageable but not simple (Inferred).
