Ryzeal Deck #771241 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 41 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Rank 4 Xyz boss pressure: Ryzeal Duo Drive (2500 ATK, Extra) and Ryzeal Detonator (3000 ATK, Extra; illegal copy count) convert the Ryzeal engine into a board; Alternate Xyz bosses from the Extra Deck (Number 104: Masquerade 2700, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS 3000, Full Armored Utopic Ray Lancer 2500) when the Ryzeal line is interrupted
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Ryzeal Node/Ext/Sword/Ice Ryzeal Special Summon lines (Ryzeal Plugin or Ryzeal Cross for recursion) and extend into a Rank 4 Xyz; Inferred from card text only, no combos recorded
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with Effect Veiler, Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit as hand traps to answer the opponent's first summon or activation, then Ryzeal Xyz follow-up
• Recovery: Ryzeal Plugin / Ryzeal Cross return Ryzeal monsters from GY or banish to the field; Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw on opponent summons; Inferred from text
• After siding: Not assessable: side deck is 0 cards, so no post-side plan exists in this list

Why it scores here

This list is scored as a Ryzeal Xyz midrange system with a hand-trap backbone, and the score is capped because the list is illegal: Ryzeal Detonator is run twice against an OCG limit of one. The main deck opens a Ryzeal starter with about 84% probability in a 5-card hand for the 12-copy core group (hypergeometric, Inferred), so the engine is reachable on a typical opening. Interaction is dense for a non-control deck (eight hand traps plus negation and removal text), which helps going-second, but the list has no side deck and no recorded boards. Popularity and usage stats only confirm that a Ryzeal core exists; they add nothing to the score. The score comes from consistency, interaction and boss closers on the system as a whole, not from averaging card scores, and the illegal copy count caps the final result at 30 as a theoretical, structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine_conflict_purity (-4). Final formula: Illegal cap: theoretical/structural-only. Unclamped 0.80*Structural(54) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + modifiers(-12) = 40, capped at 30. Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.84 · 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

• Archetype core reachable on about 84% of 5-card openings (Inferred)
• Eight hand traps for going-second interaction
• High-ATK Extra Deck bosses for closing power

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Ryzeal Detonator run 2 copies against a 1-copy OCG limit
• No side deck (0 cards) so no post-side adaptability
• Low exact-name purity (21.4%) suggests a loose engine
• No recorded combos or boards to measure floor and median

Critical choke points

• Ryzeal Duo Drive and Ryzeal Detonator both require Rank 4 Xyz material, so a single starter miss stalls the boss line
• Limited-only cards (Ext Ryzeal, Ice Ryzeal, Sword Ryzeal) each reduce redundancy to one copy

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal, Ryzeal Detonator copies 2 vs legal 1; Main 41 and Extra 15 are within OCG size rules; Ash Blossom legal 2 and run 2; Maxx C, Droll and other Limited cards run 1 copy
• Observed: Usage: Ext Ryzeal 93% and Ryzeal Detonator 89% inclusion in the archetype sample
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency (hypergeometric, 0.84 core); Going-second hand-trap coverage (0.75); Engine ceiling from card text only
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament data)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry in YGOVN for going-first, going-second, matchups or brick rates Meta Power provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null; name shown as null side deck empty (0 cards) so post-side plan cannot be assessed
