• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Xyz, Ritual
• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ryzeal Xyz boards (Ryzeal Detonator 3000 ATK, Ryzeal Duo Drive 2500 ATK) built off Level 4 Ryzeal monsters, with Mitsurugi ritual bosses (Ame no Murakumo 3200 ATK) as a second threat (Inferred from card text).; Mitsurugi ritual summons (Mitsurugi Ritual x2, Mitsurugi Mirror x1) into Ame no Habakiri (2400 ATK) or Futsu no Mitama (2000 ATK), with Dragluxion, TY-PHON and Number 38 as Extra Deck closers (Inferred).
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Ryzeal starter (Ice Ryzeal x3, Pre-Preparation of Rites, Bonfire) or a Mitsurugi searcher (Mikoto monsters, Mitsurugi Prayers) and convert into a Level 4 Ryzeal Xyz. Hold Ash Blossom and Droll for the opponent's first activation (Inferred).
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the hand traps (Ash Blossom x3, Droll & Lock Bird x2, Maxx C, Nibiru) to disrupt the opponent's first summon chain, then rebuild through Ryzeal or Mitsurugi searches (Inferred).
• Recovery: Searchers (17 searcher-text cards) and GY-based Ryzeal summons (Ice Ryzeal and Sword Ryzeal special summon from hand) refill the hand after interaction (Inferred).
• After siding: None. The deck runs an empty Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan in the evidence.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably reaches a Ryzeal starter: the evidence gives a 0.34 chance of at least one Ice Ryzeal in a going-first five-card hand, and the 27-copy archetype core is almost always present. The score comes from a system read, not from averaging card scores. Ryzeal Xyz, Mitsurugi ritual bosses, and seven hand traps give several independent routes, which supports resilience and going-second interaction. Conversion and median output are unverified because the deck has no recorded boards, so the combo dimensions stay near the middle. Popularity or archetype usage earned no points: the list is real and accessible, but the deck runs 46 off-archetype copies across Ryzeal, Mitsurugi and Mulcharmy, and has no side deck, which caps the structural score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange, dimensions D13 dropped and re-normalized over the remaining 95 weight (meta-neutral structural score). Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: engine conflicts across sub-archetypes (-3); no side deck (-2); banlist exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated metagame sample): 0.80*56 + 0.20*50 - 6 = 49

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.64 · 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

• Ryzeal starter access is high: Ice Ryzeal x3 and Pre-Preparation of Rites x3 with 17 searcher-text cards.
• Seven hand traps give going-second interaction.
• Multiple boss threats (Murakumo, Detonator, Dragluxion, TY-PHON) give closing power.

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptation.
• Three engines (Ryzeal, Mitsurugi, Mulcharmy) compete for the same hand slots; exact-name purity is 16.4%.
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unverified.

Critical choke points

• The Level 4 Ryzeal monster in hand is the main Xyz gate; if it is missing, the Ryzeal Extra Deck lines stall.
• Mitsurugi ritual summons need Level 4 Reptile tributes (Saji, Aramasa, Kusanagi), which are a narrow resource.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0; Legal under master-duel size rules.; All Limited and Semi-Limited copies within legal copies.; Ice Ryzeal x3 and the 3-copy hypergeometric draw odds from the export.; Exact-name purity 16.4%; 9 Ryzeal copies, 13 Mitsurugi, 5 Mulcharmy.; Card stats and text for every listed card (ATK, DEF, level, effects).
• Observed: Usage statistics: 36 rows, core-card presence 68 in the export (but see the data gap on in this deck).
• Inferred: Primary strategy Midrange with Xyz and Ritual mechanics.; Going-first and going-second plans and recovery lines from card text.; Dimension scores D1 through D14 except where stated.; The 0.64 at-least-one-starter estimate.
• Provisional: Meta Power is null.; D13 matchup and format fit is 50 by default with no meta sample.; Tournament reliability of 50 is a placeholder with 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 absent. No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates). Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample. Side deck is empty: no post-side data at all. Contradiction in the export: usage statistics marks King of the Feral Imps, Number 104, Number 60, Vallon, Eclipse Twins, Ryzeal Duo Drive, Ryzeal Detonator and Mereologic Aggregator as in this deck=false and lists them in missing core cards, yet the resolved cards array lists each of them with copies 1 in the Extra Deck. This evaluation trusts the resolved cards array; the core-coverage figure (68%) is unreliable until the export is fixed. Guide evidence is one snippet with no sections.
