Ryzeal Deck #772841 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Rank 4 Xyz boards (Ryzeal Duo Drive, Ryzeal Detonator, Eclipse Twins) built through the Ryzeal Xyz-material loop (Ryzeal Cross, Node Ryzeal, Star Ryzeal, Ryzeal Plugin, Ext Ryzeal); Ryzeal Detonator and Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon as board breakers; Tornado Dragon and Ryzeal Plasma Hole as removal on the Xyz side
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Ryzeal starter (Node Ryzeal, Star Ryzeal, Palm Ryzeal or Ice Ryzeal) on T1 with the 3-copy engine monsters, then Xyz Summon a Rank 4 with the Extra Deck options listed in the evidence
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 7 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler, D.D. Crow, Maxx C, Infinite Impermanence) to disrupt the opponent's first Summon or activation, then rebuild the Ryzeal engine from the Graveyard
• Recovery: Recover through Ryzeal Plugin and Ryzeal Plasma Hole, which both return or attach Ryzeal cards from the Graveyard, and through Bonfire and Reinforcement of the Army for searches
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan in this list

Why it scores here

The score comes from the deck as a system and not from averaging its cards. The Ryzeal engine is partly accessible: the 3-copy starters give about 0.23 odds of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, and the 10 archetype-core copies give about 0.61 odds of at least one (Inferred). Interaction is broad, with 13 negation and removal text cards plus 7 hand traps, which keeps the Xyz boards from being run over, so D7 and D9 score above the rest. Brick risk is high: 24 of the 36 distinct main-deck cards are singletons, 55 of 60 main-deck copies are off the exact archetype name, and the deck runs no side deck, which keeps D2, D10 and D12 low. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype-usage stats are internally inconsistent with this list (see data_gaps), and no combos, guides or tournament link were supplied, so the combo ceiling and median stay low-confidence text inference. Because the list is Illegal (Number 60: Dugares the Timeless is Forbidden), the score is a theoretical, structural-only read and is capped at 30.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Banlist exposure / illegal list (-4); Engine conflicts (-2); Singleton brick burden (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame (Meta provisional): 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*46 + 0.20*35 - 8 = 35.8, then capped at 30 because the list is Illegal (theoretical, structural-only read)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.23 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.39 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Xyz boards with strong ATK (Ryzeal Duo Drive 2500, Ryzeal Detonator 3000) and multiple hand-trap and removal routes
• Broad interaction: 7 hand traps, 13 negation and removal text cards, and two Solemn cards
• Several Ryzeal recovery routes (Plugin, Plasma Hole, Bonfire, Reinforcement) that help after interruption

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Number 60: Dugares the Timeless (Forbidden) is in the Extra Deck
• High brick and singleton density: 24 of 36 distinct main-deck cards run once
• Off-archetype spread dilutes the Ryzeal engine: only 20 of 60 main-deck copies share the exact archetype name
• No side deck registered

Critical choke points

• Ryzeal Detonator, Ext Ryzeal, Ice Ryzeal and Sword Ryzeal are all Limited singletons; losing one to disruption removes that engine route
• Going first, the 3-copy starters have about 0.23 odds of appearing in the opening 5 cards

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Number 60: Dugares the Timeless is Forbidden with 0 legal copies and 1 copy run; main 60, extra 15, side 0 within size rules; Card text and banlist statuses for all listed cards; Copy histogram: 24 singletons and 12 three-copy cards
• Observed: Archetype usage stats: Ext Ryzeal 95.7%, Ice Ryzeal 65.2%, Ash Blossom 65.2%, Node Ryzeal 65.2%, Ryzeal Cross 60.9% (the stat rows are internally inconsistent with this list; see data_gaps)
• Inferred: Starter odds of 0.23 per 3-copy card and 0.61 for the archetype core in the opening hand (hypergeometric); Brick risk and off-archetype dilution; Interaction density (13 negation and 13 removal text cards) as a strength; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchups, or brick/starter rates Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample usage_statistics conflicts with the card list: Ryzeal Detonator, Eclipse Twins and Ryzeal Duo Drive are marked in_this_deck:false / copies_in_deck:0 but appear in the Extra Deck with copies (1, 1, 3), so core_present_pct (46.2) and missing_core are unreliable No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so D12 cannot be measured from data
