Ryzeal Deck #768812 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 40/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Rank 4 Ryzeal Xyz (Ryzeal Detonator, Ryzeal Duo Drive) built from Level 4 Ryzeal monsters, closing with 3000 ATK boards and removal-backed pressure; Nibiru, the Primal Being and Archnemeses Eschatos as main-deck big-body follow-ups; Mereologic Aggregator (in Extra) is not in this list, so this is a text-only read
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Level 4 Ryzeal/Xyz-enabling starters (Ext Ryzeal, Sword/Ice/Node/Star Ryzeal) to reach a Rank 4 Xyz, backed by Ash Blossom and Droll-style hand traps against the opponent's first starter
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 1–2 hand traps (Ash Blossom, D.D. Crow, Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre) to answer the opponent's board and then rebuild through Ryzeal Xyz and Nibiru
• Recovery: Searchers (Bonfire, Onomatopaira, Gagaga Ganbara Knight, Nemeses Flag, Gallant Granite, Small World) and Pot of Prosperity recover lost resources; Ryzeal Cross and Ryzeal Plugin recycle GY Ryzeal monsters
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no side deck, so there is no post-side plan in the evidence

Why it scores here

This OCG Ryzeal list reliably opens Level 4 Xyz-enabling starters about 81% of the time in a five-card hand (hypergeometric estimate over the 15-copy archetype core, Inferred). It converts that into Rank 4 Xyz boards with Ryzeal Detonator and Duo Drive, and it is unusually dense in negation and removal text (17 negation and 19 removal cues, Inferred), which earns the interaction and going-second scores. Its weaknesses are the 16 hand traps, many of which are dead when the opponent does nothing, the lack of a side deck, and only 17% exact-name Ryzeal purity across a broad off-archetype spread. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points: the usage data only confirms the core cards are real and accessible. No combos were supplied, so the floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference and were not averaged from card scores. Because the list is Illegal (four copy-limit violations), the score is capped at a theoretical, structural-only 40 and should not be read as a normal power rating.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Copy-limit violations (Illegal) (-8); No side deck (-4). Final formula: Illegal list: theoretical structural-only. 0.80*56 + 0.20*42 = 53.2; modifiers −12 gives 41; capped at 40 for the illegal copy-limit violations.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.81 · 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 negation and removal coverage for a mid-tier list (Inferred)
• Strong Extra Deck closers: Ryzeal Detonator, Duo Drive, Tornado Dragon (verified)
• Multiple searchers and draw effects keep resource flow (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts on four cards (verified)
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation (verified)
• Low exact-name Ryzeal purity; many off-archetype and generic cards dilute the engine (verified)
• Hand-trap-heavy hands can be dead when the opponent does nothing (Inferred)

Critical choke points

• Dependence on Level 4 Xyz enablers in hand: most Ryzeal lines need one specific Level 4 starter (Inferred)
• Ryzeal Detonator and Duo Drive are the main Extra-Deck closers; losing them ends the plan (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 55 Main, 15 Extra, four copy-limit violations (Ash Blossom, Seventh Tachyon, Ice Ryzeal, Sword Ryzeal); Card stats and banlist status for all listed cards; Archetype purity: 12 exact-name Ryzeal copies of 70 total, 17.1%
• Inferred: Core engine access ≈ 0.81 in a five-card hand (hypergeometric); Brick and dead-hand-trap risk from 16 hand traps; Interaction density from card text (negation 17, removal 19)
• Provisional: Format fit (D13) and tournament reliability without a dated meta sample; Meta Power (null)
• 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 No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck supplied, so D12 post-side analysis is unavailable
