Ryzeal Deck #774282 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 54/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ryzeal Xyz boards (Ryzeal Duo Drive, Ryzeal Detonator) and Mitsurugi ritual boss monsters (Ame no Murakumo no Mitsurugi 3200 ATK, Ame no Habakiri no Mitsurugi 2400 ATK); Generic Rank 4/8 Xyz from the Extra Deck (Divine Golden Shadow Dragon Dragluxion, Number 38, Number 104: Masquerade, Tornado Dragon)
• Turn 1 (going first): Pre-Preparation of Rites or Bonfire to find a Ryzeal starter (Ice Ryzeal, Sword Ryzeal, Node Ryzeal, Ext Ryzeal) or a Mitsurugi searcher (Aramasa, Saji, Kusanagi), then Xyz Summon a Rank 4 with Ryzeal material.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru, Maxx C, PSY-Framegear Gamma) to interrupt the opponent, then rebuild a Mitsurugi ritual or Ryzeal Xyz board on a later turn.
• Recovery: Ice Ryzeal hand-summon by sending a card, Mitsurugi searchers that re-add Mitsurugi cards from Deck or GY, and Ryzeal Duo Drive attaching Ryzeal monsters from the GY as material.
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel has no side deck (side_count 0).

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional plan because three Pre-Preparation of Rites and the Bonfire searcher give about 0.96 searcher access in a five-card hand, while the six Ryzeal starters (Ice x3, Sword, Node, Ext) give roughly 0.58 starter access on the play, a figure that is Inferred from hypergeometric odds. It converts that plan into 2400 to 3200 ATK boards through the Mitsurugi ritual monsters and Ryzeal Xyz, with Murakumo's summon effect and the Detonator-style removal adding real end-board weight. Interaction is the strongest part of the system: nine hand traps and about nine negate-text cards give roughly an 81 percent chance of at least one hand trap in a six-card hand, which lifts the going-second score. The score is held back by two engines that share the Main Deck but do not feed each other, the single-copy Limited starters and staples, and the absence of any recorded boards or win data. Archetype usage stats confirm the list is a real, accessible build, but they earned no points on their own, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 59.8, Going First ≈ 59, Going Second ≈ 70, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 54. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-2); engine conflict (-2); hand-trap burden (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers(-5)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.58 · 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 (18 searcher-text cards, 3 Pre-Preparation) gives reliable access to a plan
• Interaction on the going-second turn: 9 hand traps and 9 negate-text cards
• Ritual boss ceiling (Murakumo 3200, Habakiri 2400) and 2-3 Xyz routes give end-board weight
• Usage stats show the list runs the archetype-standard core (Verified)

Weaknesses

• Two engines (Ryzeal Xyz and Mitsurugi ritual) share the Main Deck without feeding each other
• Heavy dependence on single-copy Limited cards for starters and hand traps
• No recorded boards or win data; floor and median are unmeasured
• Pilotability is demanding: tribute selection and Ice Ryzeal's Extra-Deck restriction

Critical choke points

• Ryzeal starter access: six copies, two of which are Limited
• Ice Ryzeal's restriction blocks Extra-Deck summons on the same turn it is used
• Mitsurugi lines require 2 level-4 Reptile tributes to reach level-8 ritual monsters

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; all copy limits satisfied; Card stats and banlist statuses from the evidence card table; Usage-statistics rows and archetype_spread counts
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter, searcher and hand-trap probabilities; Consistency and brick judgements from card text and composition; Going-second score from hand-trap density and card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament context); Median output (no recorded boards)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: the combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference usage_statistics marks Ryzeal Duo Drive, Ryzeal Detonator, Eclipse Twins, Vallon, Mereologic Aggregator, King of the Feral Imps, Number 60 and Number 104 as missing, yet the cards table lists them in the Extra Deck; core_present_pct (68) is likely understated and should be checked No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
