Strategic Summary:
Welcome back for another CDP, and this time I’m debuting my take on a brand new theme – the Ryzeal. This archetype features a combination of LIGHT Pyro and FIRE Thunder monsters that work in tandem to Xyz Summon R4NK monsters, and they do so extremely well. Let’s jumpstart the engine with the core starters in the theme, and I’ll begin with Ice Ryzeal (YGOrg Translation). Whenever you Normal Summon Ice, it Special Summons any other Ryzeal monster from your deck, but you can also Special Summon it from the hand by sending any card from your hand or field to the GY. Typically you’ll use the first effect to Special Summon Sword Ryzeal (YGOrg Translation), a Thunder that tutors any LIGHT Pyro on summon. Much like the other monsters, it also can easily Special Summon itself from the hand, this time by having a Ryzeal on your field or in your GY. Flowing to the next Pyro option, we have Ex Ryzeal (YGOrg Translation), which tutors any FIRE Thunder on Summon as long as all face-up monsters you control are Level/Rank 4. From there you have Node Ryzeal (YGOrg Translation), which can Special Summon itself while any Xyz Monster is on your field or in your GY, but once it is there, it can send a card from the hand or field to the GY to Special Summon any Ryzeal monster from your GY. And the final Main Deck monster, for now at least, is Palma Ryzeal (YGOrg Translation), a Level 4 Thunder that can send any Level 4 monster from the hand or Deck to the GY while it is battling to gain the sent monster’s ATK.
As all of these monsters flow into one another, this deck quickly runs into the question: how do we make the most of all of these Level 4 monsters and free material for R4NK Xyz Summons? Well they have two very good in-theme Xyzs, with Ryzeal Deadnader (YGOrg Translation) carrying a Quick Effect to destroy a card on the field each time your opponent activates any card or effect and with Ryzeal Duodrive (YGOrg Translation) which can detach 2 Xyz Material to tutor any 2 Ryzeal cards. This gives your deck great disruption and great consistency, but it also provides an opportunity to tech in other options. In my build, I also run Time Thief Redoer as a solid disruptive option, Gallant Granite to tutor Nibiru, the Primal Being and Lord of the Heavenly Prison, and other classic R4NK Xyz Monsters like Evilswarm Exciton Knight. Moving back to the Main Deck, this theme has three solid S/T support cards that are easily rounded out by a healthy Trap lineup of Dominus and Solemn Traps. The first is Ryzeal Cross (YGOrg Translation), a Field Spell that negates an opponent’s activated monster effect during the chain by detaching a material from a Ryzeal monster. The second is Ryzeal Hole Thruster (YGOrg Translation), which destroys cards up to the number of Ryzeal Xyz you control, in addition to carrying a GY effect to immediately Xyz Summon. And lastly there’s Ryzeal Plug-In (YGOrg Translation), which Special Summons a Ryzeal or Xyz from your GY or banishment, then attaches any Ryzeal card from your Deck to it. If you want to feel like you have endless horsepower and endless Xyz monsters, this might just be the vroom vroom deck for you!

Hey Quincy, is it just me, or does the Ryzeal main deck monsters resemble monsters from other level 4 focused archetypes? Like:
Thode and Mathmech
Node and Raidraptor
Palma and Hand
Ex and Majespecter
Ice and (I want to say) Gradius
