Ryzeal Deck #772352 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 33/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 53 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz and Link boss monsters (Ryzeal Duo Drive, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS, Super Starslayer TY-PHON, Mereologic Aggregator, Eclipse Twins) built from Ryzeal and Fiendsmith material; Fiendsmith Fusion and Link pressure (Desirae, Agnumday, Requiem) from Fiendsmith Engraver and Tract
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Ryzeal or Fiendsmith starter (Bonfire, Toy Soldier, Ext Ryzeal, Sword Ryzeal) and Special Summon into a Rank 4 Xyz; protect the line with Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched and Droll & Lock Bird (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Open with hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Nibiru, Droll & Lock Bird) to slow the opponent's first summon, then convert a surviving Xyz into Ryzeal Detonator-style board breaking; the list lacks Ryzeal Detonator (Inferred)
• Recovery: Ryzeal Plugin and Ryzeal Cross recycle Ryzeal monsters from the GY back onto Rank 4 Xyz monsters; Node Ryzeal and Star Ryzeal can re-summon from GY material (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists in this export

Why it scores here

The list is Illegal under the OCG BanList: six cards exceed their legal copy counts, so it is scored only as a structural read and capped low. Its engine is real but split: 14 pure Ryzeal copies sit beside 11 Fiendsmith and about 23 generic or tech cards, and the Extra Deck carries unrelated Xyz and Link bosses. The probability model gives a roughly 74 percent chance of opening at least one core Ryzeal or Fiendsmith card in five cards, which supports consistency, but the 17 hand traps and 21 tech slots add brick risk. No combos, tournament link or side deck were supplied, so conversion and matchup scores rest on card text and are Inferred. Popularity of the archetype did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violations (-10); Limited-card dependence on the engine (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 0.80*46 + 0.20*40 = 44.8, then -12 illegal-list modifier = 33

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.74 · 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

• Core Ryzeal and Fiendsmith searchers give a high chance of a live starter in the opening hand (Inferred)
• Layered interaction: hand traps, Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster and Solemn Judgment (Verified card text)
• Multiple Xyz and Link bosses in the Extra Deck with independent recursion routes (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: six copy-limit violations must be fixed before any normal score applies (Verified)
• Low archetype purity (21 percent exact name) and 23 generic cards dilute the engine (Verified)
• No side deck, so there is no post-side plan (Verified)
• Hand-trap-heavy main deck increases dead-card risk when no opponent action occurs (Inferred)

Critical choke points

• Ryzeal Duo Drive and Ryzeal Detonator are the closers, but Detonator is absent from the list; a single Rank 4 Xyz is the entire line (Inferred)
• Fiendsmith Engraver and Tract are both over the limit, so the Fiendsmith half of the engine depends on cutting copies (Verified)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: six copy-limit violations and 53 main / 14 extra cards; Archetype purity 20.9 percent exact name; Side deck count 0; Card text for the listed hand traps, searchers and Xyz bosses
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter access of about 0.74 for the archetype core; Brick and hand-trap dead-card risk; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Matchup fit and Meta Power (no dated metagame sample)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only No tournament link: archetype meta-share and match record absent No win-rate telemetry for OCG Ryzeal No side deck: post-side and best-of-3 adaptability unmeasured Meta Power provisional without a dated sample
