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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Xyz boards from Ryzeal Detonator or Ryzeal Duo Drive, plus Ritual Summoned Mitsurugi bodies such as Ame no Murakumo no Mitsurugi (3200 ATK, destroys all opponent monsters when Special Summoned); Ritual pressure from Ame no Habakiri no Mitsurugi (2400 ATK) and Futsu no Mitama no Mitsurugi (2000 ATK, 3400 DEF)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Ryzeal or Mulcharmy starters (Ice Ryzeal, Node Ryzeal, Mulcharmy Fuwalos) with Pre-Preparation of Rites or a Reptile searcher, then convert into an Xyz or Ritual board while holding Ash Blossom as protection
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C, Nibiru or PSY-Frame Gamma to disrupt the opponent's summons, then Ritual Summon a Mitsurugi monster with Mitsurugi Ritual or Mitsurugi Mirror
• Recovery: Searchers (Bonfire, Mitsurugi Prayers, Mitsurugi no Mikoto cards, Ext Ryzeal, Sword Ryzeal) refill the hand; Ryzeal Duo Drive can attach a Ryzeal monster from the GY as material
• After siding: None: the deck runs zero Side Deck cards, so no post-side plan exists in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional plan: 18 searcher-text cards give a searcher in hand with probability 0.96 (Inferred), and the Ryzeal and Mitsurugi starters are numerous enough that the opening is rarely dead. It converts that plan into pressure through Extra Deck Xyz monsters with ATK boosts and through Ritual Summoned Mitsurugi bodies, with Ame no Murakumo no Mitsurugi as the main board-breaking finisher. It survives disruption well because nine hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C, Nibiru, PSY-Frame Gamma) give a 0.81 chance of at least one hand trap on going second (Inferred), and several routes exist to rebuild after a negation. Popularity was not used: the archetype usage stats confirm the list is real and accessible but earned no points on their own, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score. The score is held down by the absence of any side deck, the split engine between Ryzeal and Mitsurugi, and the absence of combo or win-rate data.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange weights with D13 dropped and the remaining weights renormalised over 95 (meta-neutral); Combo traits are noted but not blended. Structural ≈ 66, Going First ≈ 70, Going Second ≈ 67, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*66.2 + 0.20*60 - 2 = 63 (Meta provisional, Structural renormalised without D13)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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

• 18 searcher-text cards give a high chance of a searcher in hand
• 9 hand traps give resilience on going second
• Ame no Murakumo no Mitsurugi gives a board wipe as well as a 3200 ATK body
• Several Xyz and Ritual finishers with distinct routes

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• Engine split across Ryzeal and Mitsurugi with Extra Deck summon restrictions that can conflict
• Heavy hand-trap density (9 of 40) can leave hands with no board development
• No recorded boards, combos or win-rate data to validate the ceiling

Critical choke points

• Ritual Summon of Mitsurugi bodies needs Mitsurugi Ritual or Mitsurugi Mirror plus Reptile tributes
• Ryzeal Extra Deck plays depend on a Ryzeal monster or Xyz monster in the field or GY

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal under BanMasterDuel with 40 main, 15 extra and 0 side; Restricted copies within limits: Limited cards at 1 copy, Semi-Limited cards at 2 copies; Card text excerpts for Ice Ryzeal, Ash Blossom, Murakumo, Ryzeal Duo Drive and Mitsurugi Great Purification
• Inferred: Searcher hit probability 0.96 and hand-trap hit probability 0.81; Consistency and brick estimates from composition; Midrange as the primary strategy
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup fit and the matchup tier
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry, so going-first, going-second and matchup results are unknown usage_statistics in_this_deck flags conflict with the cards list: Ryzeal Duo Drive, Ryzeal Detonator, Number 104, King of the Feral Imps, Number 60 Dugares, Eclipse Twins, Vallon and Mereologic Aggregator are marked in_this_deck false but appear in cards with copies 1.
