Ryzeal Deck #766821 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 41 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 9 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ryzeal Xyz boards (Ryzeal Duo Drive, Ryzeal Detonator, Daigusto Emeral) built from Ryzeal and Mitsurugi/Mulcharmy starters, with Mitsurugi ritual and Mulcharmy draw engines; Ritual boss monsters (Futsu no Mitama, Ame no Murakumo) via Mitsurugi Ritual and Mitsurugi Mirror
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a Ryzeal or Mitsurugi starter (Sword Ryzeal, Ice Ryzeal, Mitsurugi no Mikoto searchers), search the engine piece, and Xyz or ritual into a board backed by Ash Blossom for the first interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom and Mulcharmy draw monsters to answer the opponent's board, then rebuild with Mulcharmy Purulia and Fuwalos draws while the Ryzeal line comes online
• Recovery: Ragged Records of Rites and Bonfire re-search the engine from the Deck and GY; Ryzeal Cross and Node Ryzeal recur Ryzeal monsters
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck has a dense starter set: P(at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.99 and P(at least one searcher-text card) is about 0.94 (Inferred, hypergeometric on the Main Deck only). Its Xyz and Ritual lines give a plausible midrange plan with several redundant starters, and the hand-trap and negation text gives it some interaction. Scoring stays on the system: the consistency and interaction reads come from the deck's structure, not from averaging card scores, and the popularity of Ryzeal did not add points. The deck is Illegal, with five Forbidden cards and four over-limit cards, so the Final Contextual score is capped at 25 and the rest of the scoring is theoretical and structural only. It also has no Side Deck, which removes any post-side score, and no combo or tournament data exists to measure its real output.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Combo as a secondary read; no blend weights were applied beyond the Midrange profile. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); no_side_deck (-4). Final formula: Unconstrained 0.80*Structural(54.2) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + Modifiers(-12) = 40.4; capped to 25 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural only). Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · 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

• Very high probability of an archetype-core starter in opening hands
• Multiple searchers (17 searcher-text cards) reduce dependence on any one starter
• Layered negation text (Ash Blossom, Forbidden Droplet, Mitsurugi Great Purification, Ryzeal Cross)
• Strong Extra Deck end-boards (Ryzeal Duo Drive, Ryzeal Detonator, Ritual bosses)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: five Forbidden cards and four over-limit cards
• No Side Deck
• Low exact-name archetype purity (16.1%) across mixed Mitsurugi, Mulcharmy, Branded and Forbidden cards
• No recorded combos or tournament data to validate real output

Critical choke points

• Ryzeal core starters (Sword Ryzeal, Ice Ryzeal) must survive to make the Xyz line
• Forbidden cards as engine pieces (Called by the Grave, Ame no Habakiri) cannot be run in any legal build

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 41 and Extra Deck 15 meet the TCG size rules; Forbidden status of Albion, Ame no Habakiri, Called by the Grave, Number 60 and Number 41; Copy-limit violations for Ash Blossom, The Fallen, Mitsurugi Prayers and Pre-Preparation of Rites; Side Deck is empty (side_count 0)
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probabilities (≈0.99 core, ≈0.94 searcher); Midrange primary strategy with Combo secondary, from Xyz and Ritual composition; Interaction density from negation and removal text
• Provisional: Meta power and format fit (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and going-second results
• Data gaps: no combos supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent no win-rate telemetry exists for this deck Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample no Side Deck, so post-side scoring is unavailable
