Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Raidraptor Xyz boss (Rising Rebellion Falcon 4000 ATK, Ultimate Falcon 3500 ATK, Satellite Cannon Falcon 3000 ATK) reached through Raidraptor searchers and Rank-Up-Magic recursion; Arc Rebellion Xyz Dragon negation and Xyz board, with Raider's Knight and Raidraptor Link monsters as extra Extra Deck pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon or Special Summon a Raidraptor starter (Fuzzy Lanius, Tribute Lanius, Heel Eagle), search a Raidraptor through Noir Lanius or Brave Strix, then build an Xyz Monster and protect it with Ash Blossom and Dominus Spark/Impulse
• Turn 2 (going second): Open with Ash Blossom, Nibiru or Droll & Lock Bird as hand traps against the opponent's first summon or draw, then rebuild a Raidraptor Xyz from the GY or banish zone
• Recovery: Recursion through Rank-Up-Magic Skip Force, Raidraptor - Roost and Raidraptor - Heel Eagle GY effects, plus Strangle Lanius and Mimicry Lanius re-summons
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck's engine is a Raidraptor core: 3-copy Fuzzy Lanius, Tribute Lanius, Bloom Vulture and Strangle Lanius, with Noir Lanius and Brave Strix providing search. The Raidraptor searchers give a 0.81 chance of at least one searcher-text card in the opening five, but the P(at least one of the 7 archetype-core cards in the opening five) is only 0.51, so starter access is coin-flip level. Interaction is dense (7 hand-trap-tagged cards, 13 negation-text cards), and the Xyz boss ceiling (Rising Rebellion Falcon, Ultimate Falcon) is high, but the combo evidence is empty, so ceiling and median are text-only inference. The off-archetype dilution (Dominus, Mulcharmy, Greed, Solemn, Cyclone, Harpie; 0% exact-name purity against a 'Knightmare' label) pulls the Main Deck toward toolbox and lowers coherence. The list is illegal (Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse each over the OCG copy limit), so this is a structural-only read and not a normal Final score. Popularity and archetype usage were not used as points, and card scores were not averaged.
