Ryzeal Deck #772258 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 52 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz Summon Ryzeal and Gagaga/Dododo boss monsters (Ryzeal Duo Drive x2, Number F0, Gallant Granite, Infernal Flame Banshee) and grind the opponent's board with hand-trap interaction.; Gagaga/Dododo Special Summon chains (Gagaga Magician, Onomatopaira, Dododo Warrior) into Xyz lines; Nibiru as a one-card board swing when the opponent summons 5 or more monsters.
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1: Onomatopaira or Gagaga Magician-led searches into a Xyz line via Ryzeal starters (Ice Ryzeal, Node Ryzeal, Star Ryzeal). Keep Ash Blossom or Effect Veiler up as the first-turn protection layer, but the hand is often starter-light.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 1-2 of the 16 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler, Ghost Belle, Droll and Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence) to answer the opponent's first board, then Xyz through the surviving board.
• Recovery: Recover through Ryzeal Cross (GY recursion), Ryzeal Duo Drive attaching Ryzeal monsters from the GY, and Xyz Universe or Ryzeal Plasma Hole to rebuild a board after a wipe.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan. The deck cannot adapt between games in this list.

Why it scores here

The score comes from the system as built: a 13-card archetype core is present in about 78% of hands on the going-first draw estimate (hypergeometric, Inferred), and 16 hand traps give strong interaction on the going-second turn (about 90% to hold at least one in six cards, Inferred). Interaction quality and resilience carry most of the points, because the deck has several independent ways to start and answer an opposing first board. The score is held down because the list cannot be played as registered: three cards exceed OCG copy limits and the Extra Deck is one card over the cap, so the result is a theoretical, structural-only read. No combo records, win rates or meta share exist here, so the ceiling and floor are text-based inferences, and the deck gets no credit for Ryzeal popularity. The card scores were not averaged into this result.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53.3, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist and copy-limit exposure (-8); extra deck over size cap (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*53.3 + 0.20*45 - 12 = 39.6; Illegal cap applied (theoretical/structural-only) = 25.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.89 · 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

• 16 hand traps and tech cards give strong going-second interaction
• Searcher density (18 cards) gives a high chance of a starter in opening hands
• Recursion through Ryzeal Cross and Ryzeal Duo Drive supports a multi-turn grind

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: three cards over copy limit and Extra Deck one card over the cap
• Hybrid archetype base (14.7% exact Ryzeal) weakens engine coherence
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• Bloated 52-card Main Deck with many situational interaction cards

Critical choke points

• A single Ryzeal Xyz starter (Ice Ryzeal, Node Ryzeal, Star Ryzeal) is needed to reach Xyz summons; without one, the hand is mostly interaction
• Ryzeal Detonator and Eclipse Twins are missing from the core, so the Xyz finisher set is thinner than archetype norms

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: three cards over the OCG copy limit and Extra Deck of 16 vs cap 15; Copy histogram: 21 singles, 2 doubles, 9 triples (52 Main); Archetype core present in 13 cards; exact Ryzeal purity 14.7%; No Side Deck registered
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter and hand-trap estimates; Midrange primary strategy with Stun/Toolbox secondary; Interaction quality from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit (D13), 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 record absent no win-rate telemetry; going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck registered; post-side performance unknown
