Ryzeal Deck #771234 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Level-4 Ryzeal starter (Ice, Sword, Star, Ext, Node) into Ryzeal Xyz bosses: Ryzeal Detonator, Ryzeal Duo Drive, Galaxy-Eyes Full Armor Photon Dragon, Number 107; Horus recursion boards (Imsety, Duamutef, Hapi, Qebehsenuef) enabled by King's Sarcophagus or Walls of the Imperial Tomb
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Level-4 Ryzeal starter with a Ryzeal Xyz follow-up; hand traps are mostly dead on turn 1 when not drawn alongside a live engine
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand-trap the opponent's first board (Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler, Artifact Lancea), then rebuild a Ryzeal Xyz board
• Recovery: Ryzeal Cross and Horus monsters recurring from the GY (via King's Sarcophagus), plus Walls of the Imperial Tomb to search a Horus monster
• After siding: None: the deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan to evaluate

Why it scores here

The deck does not earn its score from the popularity of Ryzeal, and no card scores were averaged. Its opening reliability rests on eight Level-4 Ryzeal starters, which give about 56% for at least one going first (hand 5) and about 63% going second (hand 6), both Inferred from hypergeometric draws on the main deck. Its main-deck structure of 18 hand-trap or negation slots gives strong disruption on the going-second side. The ceiling comes from Ryzeal boss Xyz monsters that the extra deck supplies, but no recorded boards exist, so conversion and median output are text-only inferences. The deck is Illegal: three cards exceed their copy limits, so it is capped at 30 and scored as theoretical or structural only. Its 18.6% exact-archetype purity, a second Horus engine that depends on four enablers, and an absent side deck hold the structural score down.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.70 Midrange / 0.30 Stun. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 46, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist exposure (over-limit Limited/Semi-Limited cards) (-6); engine conflict (Ryzeal + Horus + Galaxy-Eyes/Number/Utopia Xyz) (-4); no side deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(42) + modifiers(-12) = 38 before cap; capped at 30 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only). Meta Provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.56 · 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

• 18 hand-trap or negation slots give strong going-second disruption
• 8 Level-4 Ryzeal starters give roughly 56% to 63% starter access from an opening hand
• Extra-deck bosses reach 3000 to 4000 ATK

Weaknesses

• Illegal: three cards exceed copy limits
• Only 18.6% exact-archetype purity, with 57 off-archetype copies
• Horus engine depends on four enablers
• No side deck

Critical choke points

• King's Sarcophagus and Walls of the Imperial Tomb gate the Horus engine
• Single-copy Ryzeal Detonator and Ryzeal Duo Drive are the main boss options
• Level-4 Ryzeal starter access (8 copies) drives the going-first line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 counts and size rules; Three copy-limit violations and restricted banlist statuses; Card text and stats from the evidence cards list; Archetype purity and composition counts
• Inferred: Starter probabilities (0.559 going first, 0.630 going second); Hand-trap disruption and going-second strength; Extra Deck ceiling read from card text; Engine conflict and brick-risk estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power and D13 matchup fit (no dated metagame sample); Tournament reliability
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot records absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Usage statistics flag Ryzeal Detonator, Ryzeal Duo Drive, Eclipse Twins, Mereologic Aggregator and Evilswarm Exciton Knight as not in deck even though the cards list includes them, so core-coverage percentages are unreliable for the Extra Deck Side deck is empty, so post-side behavior cannot be assessed Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
