Ryzeal Deck #772666 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Rank 4 Ryzeal Xyz monsters (Ryzeal Detonator, Ryzeal Duo Drive, Ext Ryzeal chain) converting Gagaga and Dododo engine material into board pressure; Gagaga Samurai and Gagagaga Girl recursion of Xyz materials for a grind game
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Onomatopaira or Gagaga Magician to search and summon a Zubaba/Gagaga/Gogogo/Dododo, then Xyz into a Ryzeal Xyz using Ryzeal Cross and Node Ryzeal; hold Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence for the first interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C, Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence) break the opponent's first summon or draw, then the engine rebuilds through Onomatopickup and Gagaga Magician
• Recovery: Ryzeal Plugin and Star Ryzeal return banished Ryzeal monsters; Gagagaga Girl and Ryzeal Duo Drive reload from the Graveyard
• After siding: No side deck is present in the export, so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

The deck is a three-archetype system: a Gagaga/Dododo/Onomat engine (Zubaba, Gagaga, Gogogo, Dododo monsters) feeds Rank 4 Ryzeal Xyz monsters through Ryzeal Cross, Node Ryzeal and Ext Ryzeal, and the 15-card Extra Deck is entirely Xyz. Starter access is strong: the archetype core is present in 82% of opening hands (5-card hypergeometric, Inferred), and at least one searcher is present in 95% of hands. Interaction is layered across seven hand traps, Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C, and Crossout Designator, which supports continuation after disruption and going second. The score is structural only and capped low because the Main Deck runs Number 60: Dugares the Timeless, which is Forbidden in OCG; no combos, tournament data, or side deck were supplied, and popularity was not credited. Card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Stun secondary for hand-trap-driven interaction; no blend weights beyond the Midrange profile. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); limited-card dependency (-4). Final formula: Pre-cap: 0.80*57 + 0.20*52 = 56, minus modifiers (-12) = 44; Illegal status caps the final at 25 (theoretical/structural-only). Meta Power provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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

• Strong archetype-core access: 82% of opening hands contain at least one core starter (Inferred)
• Seven hand traps and ten negation-text cards give layered interaction for going second (Inferred)
• Three Xyz routes (Gagaga, Dododo, Ryzeal) give alternate lines after one interruption (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Forbidden card (Number 60: Dugares the Timeless) in the Main Deck makes the list illegal for OCG (Verified)
• Only 16.4% exact-name archetype purity: three archetype clusters compete for the same hand slots (Verified counts)
• No side deck and no combo boards, so the post-side and median-output reads are unsupported (Verified gap)

Critical choke points

• Single-copy Limited cards (Ext Ryzeal, Ryzeal Detonator, Sword Ryzeal, Ice Ryzeal) are the Ryzeal Xyz gate; losing one to disruption removes a route (Inferred)
• Starter depends on Onomat and Gagaga/Dododo searchers that compete for hand slots (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck is 40 cards and Extra Deck is 15 cards, within OCG size rules; Number 60: Dugares the Timeless is Forbidden and over the copy limit; Ten Limited cards each run at their single legal copy; Ash Blossom runs 2 as Semi-Limited allows; Exact-name purity 16.4% and archetype spread from the composition block
• Observed: Usage statistics: Ext Ryzeal 95.7%, Mulcharmy Fuwalos 82.6%, Bonfire 78.3% inclusion across 23 decks (Observed, not this deck's results)
• Inferred: Archetype-core P(at least one in 5-card hand) ≈ 0.82; Searcher-text P(at least one in 5-card hand) ≈ 0.95; Interaction layering from card text and role tags; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and tournament reliability (no tournament link); Side-deck adaptability (no side deck in export)
• Data gaps: No parseable combos; combo floor, median, and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No side deck in the export, so post-side scoring is unsupported No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; all consistency values are Inferred Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
