• Secondary strategies: Combo, Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Level 4 Xyz boss (Ryzeal Detonator, Dragluxion, Number 38, TY-PHON) backed by Ice Ryzeal and Mulcharmy card advantage, with Mitsurugi ritual boards as the second route; Ame no Murakumo no Mitsurugi Special Summon effect destroys all opponent monsters, followed by ritual pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Level 4 starters (Ice Ryzeal, Fuwalos, Purulia, Sword/Ext/Node/Star Ryzeal) and search Mitsurugi or Ryzeal pieces, then Xyz Summon a Level 4 boss while holding Ash Blossom, Droll and Maxx C as interaction (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C, Nibiru) to disrupt the opponent's first Summon, then convert with Mulcharmy draw and a Xyz or ritual board (Inferred)
• Recovery: Rebuild through Ryzeal GY recursion, Mitsurugi searchers (Saji, Aramasa, Kusanagi, Mitsurugi Prayers), and Mulcharmy draw effects (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan (Verified)

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional plan reliably: about 15 Level 4 main-deck monsters give roughly a 92 percent chance of at least one starter in a 5-card opening hand, and about 63 percent of hands hold at least two (Inferred hypergeometric estimates). Conversion is backed by a Level 4 Xyz boss package and an Ame no Murakumo board wipe on Special Summon, which lift the ceiling, while the median is held back by three competing engines (Ryzeal Xyz, Mitsurugi ritual, Mulcharmy draw) with exact-name purity of only 16.4 percent. Interaction is the strongest pillar, with 7 hand traps, Murakumo and Mitsurugi Great Purification negation, and Number 104 and Number 38 negation on the Extra side, so the deck survives one disruption well. The score was built from consistency, median output and interaction as a system, not by averaging card scores. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype core coverage shows the list is standard, but no tournament or win-rate data exists, so Meta Power stays provisional and the deck has no side plan.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 66.6, Going First ≈ 74, Going Second ≈ 72, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (single-copy Limited engine pieces) (-2); Engine conflicts (-3); Engine compactness (Level 4 starter density) (2); No side deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers(-5) = 65.3 - 5 = 60

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.63 · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.08 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Consistent Level 4 starter density for the Xyz base
• Seven hand traps and about seven negation or removal effects provide layered interaction
• All 25 usage-stat core cards are present once Extra Deck cards are counted (Verified)
• Murakumo gives a board-wipe ceiling on Special Summon

Weaknesses

• Three engines compete for slots, so the median output is weaker than the ceiling
• No side deck means no post-side adaptability
• Triple Tactics Talent and Thrust and Great Purification need specific opponent actions or tributes, which adds dead-card risk
• Single-copy Limited engine pieces limit redundancy

Critical choke points

• Ryzeal Level 4 starter access in hand, since Xyz summons need two Level 4 monsters
• Mitsurugi ritual route requires Reptile tributes and a ritual spell in hand

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Legal with 40 main, 15 extra and 0 side; Copy limits: Limited cards at one copy, Semi-Limited Habakiri and Droll at two copies; Card text and stats from the evidence pack; Usage stats: 25 of 25 core cards present once Extra Deck cards are counted
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter and two-starter probabilities; Hand-trap interaction density and going-second plan; Engine conflict and compactness modifiers; Board-breaking and recovery assessments
• Provisional: Meta Power; D13 matchup and format fit
• Data gaps: No recorded combos, so D3 and D4 are text-only estimates No tournament link and no win-rate telemetry, so Meta Power is provisional usage statistics misflags Extra Deck core cards as not in this deck (King of the Feral Imps, Number 104, Dugares, Vallon, Eclipse Twins, Ryzeal Duo Drive, Ryzeal Detonator, Mereologic Aggregator) even though they sit in the Extra zone, so missing core cards is wrong and core coverage is 25 of 25, not 17 of 25 No side deck data, so D12 is scored from a zero count
