• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 45 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra-Deck Xyz/Link beaters: Gunkan Suship Uni-class Super-Dreadnought (2900 ATK, direct attack), Ryzeal Duo Drive (2500 ATK, gains ATK per material), Worldsea Dragon Zealantis and Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS as heavy closers.; Gunkan Xyz beatdown via Gunkan Suship Shirauo-class Carrier and Ikura-class Dreadnought, backed by Ryzeal Detonator and Number 39: Utopia for board control.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Primite Lordly Lode, Painful Decision, Gunkan Suship Uni) to reach Gunkan Suship Shari plus a second Gunkan monster, Xyz Summon a Gunkan boss, and keep Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence or Nibiru as hand traps for the opponent's turn.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom x2, Infinite Impermanence x2, Nibiru x2) to stop the opponent's first engine, then use Raigeki, Lightning Storm or Harpie's Feather Duster to clear the field and rebuild through Gunkan or Ryzeal monsters.
• Recovery: Recycle Ryzeal monsters from the GY with Ryzeal Cross and Ryzeal Plugin, reload with Lordly Lode or Painful Decision, and re-Xyz through the Extra Deck.
• After siding: None. The deck runs 0 side-deck cards, so there is no evidenced post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional starter: the archetype-core group of 15 copies gives an estimated 88% chance of at least one in the opening 5-card hand (hypergeometric, Inferred), and searchers (Lordly Lode, Painful Decision, Gunkan Suship Uni) add redundancy. Conversion to pressure rests on Extra Deck bosses with strong ATK (2500-2900) and direct-attack or pierce text, which earns the offensive and closing scores. Interaction is layered through six hand traps, three field-wipe spells and Ryzeal Detonator, so the end board and going-second scores come from that interaction density, not from the cards' individual strength. The deck is a three-to-four-engine mix (Gunkan, Ryzeal, Utopia, Mulcharmy) with only 6 exact Primite-name copies and 16 Gunkan, which lowers consistency and median output, and it runs no side deck, which caps adaptability. No combos, tournament records or guides were supplied, so popularity and archetype share earned no points, and the score was built on the deck as a system rather than by averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange, meta-neutral (D13 dropped and weights renormalised over 95). Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: No side deck (-2); Engine conflicts (-3); Banlist exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; Structural = 6019/95 = 63.4; 0.80*63.4 + 0.20*58 = 62.3; minus 6 modifiers = 56)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.88 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.12 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Searchers and redundant starters give an 88% estimated chance of a live engine in the opening 5
• Layered interaction: 6 hand traps, 3 field-wipe spells and Ryzeal Detonator
• Extra Deck bosses at 2500-3000 ATK with direct-attack or pierce text

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Multiple engines (Gunkan, Ryzeal, Utopia, Mulcharmy) share one main deck and only 6 copies are exact-name Primite
• 12 singleton tech/splash slots and conditional cards such as Lava Golem raise brick risk

Critical choke points

• The Gunkan Suship Shari plus second Gunkan monster starter, because most Gunkan lines route through it
• Hand-trap timing on the opponent's turn, since losing one hand trap to a board-clear leaves few reactive answers

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal: 45 main, 15 extra, 0 side; all 7 restricted cards within legal copies; Card text and stats from the resolved card list; Archetype-core group of 15 copies; usage stats show 8 of 25 core cards present
• Inferred: P(>=1 starter in opening 5) = 0.88 and P(>=1 hand trap in 6 going second) = 0.60; Interaction density and Extra Deck closing power from card text; Consistency, brick rate and resilience from composition and hypergeometric estimates
• Provisional: Meta power and D13 matchup fit (no dated metagame sample or 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 record absent no win-rate telemetry; going-first, going-second and matchup results unknown no side deck in the list; post-side plan unevaluable Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
