Ryzeal Deck #773555 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 43/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ryzeal Xyz boards (Ryzeal Detonator, Ryzeal Duo Drive, Ext Ryzeal and Sword Ryzeal engines) and Mitsurugi Ritual boards led by Ame no Murakumo no Mitsurugi at 3200 ATK; Mitsurugi Ritual Summons and Reptile recursion from the GY, with Ice Ryzeal hand-summons feeding Rank 4 Xyz Monsters
• Turn 1 (going first): Search with Pre-Preparation of Rites, Bonfire or a Mitsurugi searcher, hand-summon Ice Ryzeal or Sword Ryzeal into a Rank 4 Xyz, and hold Ash Blossom or Droll for the opponent's turn
• Turn 2 (going second): Stop the opponent's first board with hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C, Nibiru), then Ritual or Xyz follow-up on the next turn
• Recovery: Mulcharmy draw bodies, Mitsurugi GY recursion (Kusanagi, Saji, Futsu no Mitama) and Pre-Preparation of Rites to restock the hand
• After siding: None: the side deck is empty, so game two is the same list with no adaptation

Why it scores here

The deck reliably finds a searcher in most opening hands: 17 searcher-text cards give about 95 percent odds of at least one in an opening five. Its single hand-summon starter, Ice Ryzeal, is far less reliable, at about 34 percent on the going-first hand with three copies. Its strength is layered interaction, with seven hand traps plus Ame no Murakumo, Mitsurugi Great Purification and Ryzeal Plasma Hole, and a full 15-card Extra Deck gives broad Xyz access. The score is held back by the absence of recorded boards, dated meta or matchup data, and above all by an empty side deck, which leaves no post-side plan in best-of-three. The structural read comes from consistency, median output and interaction scored on the system; archetype popularity earned no points and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: No side deck (-3); Banlist exposure (-2); Engine conflict (-3). Final formula: Structural = sum(score × Midrange weight) / 95 with D13 dropped and re-normalised (meta-neutral) = 52.7; Final = 0.80×Structural + 0.20×TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80×52.7 + 0.20×45 − 8 ≈ 43 (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Searcher density: 17 searcher-text cards put a searcher in the opening five about 95 percent of the time (Inferred)
• Layered interaction: seven hand traps plus Ame no Murakumo negation, Mitsurugi Great Purification and Ryzeal Plasma Hole (Inferred)
• Full 15-card Extra Deck of 14 Xyz plus one Link gives broad summon routes (Verified)

Weaknesses

• Empty side deck: no post-side adaptability in best-of-three (Verified)
• Engine conflict between Mitsurugi Reptile tributes and Ryzeal Xyz conditions (Inferred)
• Low exact-name purity (16.4 percent) across three sub-archetypes (Verified)
• Usage statistics flag several present extra-deck Xyz as not in deck, lowering confidence in core-card reads (Verified data inconsistency)

Critical choke points

• Ice Ryzeal is the main hand-summon starter; only about 34 percent of going-first hands contain one (Inferred)
• Mitsurugi Ritual (2 copies) plus Mitsurugi Mirror (1 copy) are the only ritual enablers for five Ritual monsters (Verified)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Legal at 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; all restricted cards at or under their legal copy limits; Exact-name Ryzeal purity 16.4 percent (9 of 55 cards); Side deck is empty; Extra deck is 14 Xyz plus one Link; Hypergeometric probability values from the export
• Inferred: Consistency read: Ice Ryzeal hand-summon at about 34 percent versus searcher at about 95 percent; Interaction density from hand-trap and negation card text; Going-second hand-trap availability at about 71 percent; Engine conflict between Mitsurugi and Ryzeal resources; Ceiling read from card text only
• Provisional: Meta power and format fit (no dated metagame sample); Combo floor and median (no recorded boards)
• Data gaps: No recorded boards supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick/starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side deck is empty, so post-side scoring rests on the empty-side reading Usage statistics in_this_deck flags disagree with the card list for several extra-deck Xyz (King of the Feral Imps, Number 104, Number 60, Vallon, Eclipse Twins, Ryzeal Duo Drive, Ryzeal Detonator, Mereologic Aggregator); the card list was treated as authoritative Deck title is null, so the deck is identified by archetype only
