• Format: ocg

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum/Ritual-driven Ryu-Ge boss (Sosei Ryu-Ge Mistva, 3500 ATK) or a Link/Xyz/Synchro boss from the 15-card Extra Deck (Gustav Rocket 5000 ATK, Red Supernova 4000 ATK, Cosmic Blazar Dragon 4000 ATK); Battle and direct damage from Ryu-Ge Dragon bodies (Kairo Ryu-Ge Emva, Genro Ryu-Ge Hakva, Kyoro Ryu-Ge Kaiva, all 3000 ATK) supported by the Ryu-Ge Realm ATK boosts and battle protection
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1: Ryu-Ge Rising or Primite Lordly Lode to search, then build toward a Ryu-Ge Pendulum/Ritual line for a Ryu-Ge Dragon or Mistva; the Realm spell anchors the field. Sequencing is text-inferred, with no recorded combos (Inferred).
• Turn 2 (going second): Turn 1 interaction: Forbidden Droplet or Tensei Ryu-Ge Anva's negate on the opposing engine, then rebuild from GY and Realm recursion. Combo lines are not evidenced (Inferred).
• Recovery: Banish-from-GY and hand summons (Kairo Ryu-Ge Emva, Genro Ryu-Ge Hakva), Ryu-Ge Rivalry recursion, Realm re-placement, and Ryu-Ge End protection of Ryu-Ge monsters (Inferred from card text).
• After siding: None: the deck runs 0 side-deck cards, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is a 40-card OCG Ryu-Ge list with 17 monsters, 21 spells and 2 traps, a full 15-card Extra Deck and no side deck. The Ryu-Ge core (17 copies) has a 0.95 chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, and searcher text covers 18 copies, so the deck usually finds a plan. Its main conversion risk is Pendulum access: only Tensei Ryu-Ge Anva (2 copies) has a verified scale, and Sosei Ryu-Ge Mistva (3 copies) can only enter through its own effect, so Ryu-Ge Rising is the main starter at P(at least one in hand) of about 0.34. Interaction is real but thin, with Forbidden Droplet, Tensei Ryu-Ge Anva, Ryu-Ge Rivalry, Ryu-Ge End and Primite Drillbeam, but there are no hand traps or floodgates. The score rests on the system (consistency, closing power and interaction), not on popularity or on averaging card scores; no combo corpus or meta sample was supplied, and there is no side deck to adapt post-side.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 46. Modifiers: No side deck (-3); Engine conflicts / off-archetype spread (-2); Pendulum/Ritual access choke (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; 0.80*54.25 + 0.20*46 = 52.6, then modifiers -6 = 46.6, rounded to 47)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · 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

• Searcher density: 18 searcher-text copies, with 0.96 chance of at least one in a 5-card hand
• Closing power: 3500-5000 ATK bosses across Main and Extra Deck
• Layered interaction in Main Deck (Droplet, Anva, Drillbeam, Rivalry, End) plus Extra negates
• Recursion through GY-banish and hand summons gives multi-turn resilience

Weaknesses

• No hand traps or floodgates, so the deck has little answer to an opposing turn-1 engine
• Mistva (3 copies) is a dead card without its own summon route
• Thin side deck (none), so no matchup adaptation
• High off-archetype dilution across sub-archetypes

Critical choke points

• Pendulum scale access depends on Anva (2 copies) and Ryu-Ge Rising's search
• Extra Deck link/xyz/synchro summons depend on materials from a narrow Main Deck engine

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal list: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side, all restricted cards within copy limits (Instant Fusion, Pot of Prosperity, S:P Little Knight, Gustav Max, each at 1 copy); Card stats and text for all 40 Main and 15 Extra cards; Archetype spread and exact-name purity (34.5%); Usage stats: 11 of 19 core cards present (57.9%)
• Inferred: P(starter live) from hypergeometric draw odds; Starter, recursion and interaction roles read from card text; Going-first and going-second plans; Brick risk from Mistva and non-engine spells; Closing conversion from boss stats
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample; D13 matchup fit is provisional: no tournament link
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for this deck Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Sosei Ryu-Ge Mistva scale is 0 in evidence despite being a Pendulum Effect Ritual Monster; Pendulum access is therefore not fully verified Deck title is null, so the list is identified only by id and archetype
