What made you choose your deck? What are some plays your deck can make?
I like Rokket and Ryzeal is a good Rank 4 engine. I can go for synchro 8 plays like Berserker and Scarlight or Rank 4 plays like Exciton etc
What were some tech choices you made? Would you make any changes to the list moving forward?
I don't think I made any specific tech choices, just cards that might be good in certain scenarios (some which I didn't end up using like Abyss Dweller), I wanted my side deck to be around half going first and half going second cards to give me a good chance of winning
How did your deck handle the other pilots? Any notable moments?
ugh
How would you like to see this format change?
I think the format is fine for the most part now that Ryzeal Hole is gone (CONTEXT: banlist immediately after this ytc banned Ryzeal Plasma Hole), maybe Maliss should be hit in some way but I haven't really dealt with it much

I picked Ryzeal Rank 4 Turbo Because I believed it was the best deck and the perfect home for the Invoked package. The main goal of the deck is to be able to 1 card into Ryzeal Duo Drive set up a disruption and revival and then use the armored xyz package to then OTK. The invoked package is on the side for extra layered disruption or for Gy disruption.

Tech choices I made were main deck Purulia for the mirror and vs Pend. Goblin Biker Boom Mach in the side for the mirror but it never came up. Land Flipping also for the mirror but never got to use it. Lullaby of Obedience in hopes of stealing Aleister the Invoker. The main change I would have to make is to cut hole since it got banned and focus on another R4NK package or just go all in on more purple cards.

The deck was very smooth in my matches, the only "hiccup" was not having Magellanica in the ed to help game 1. One very notable moment was VS Psionic Brush in top cut where in order for me to win I would have to draw exactly Ext Ryzeal and guess what I top decked, Ext Ryzeal.
How would you like to see this format change?
I would like the format to have more events, and I would like more players to use the #theory-crafting and #decklist channels to share what they are working on.

There once was a man named Adusted Gold Roger, who was Supreme King of the Pirates. He had fame, power, and wealth beyond your wildest dreams. Before they hung him from the gallows, these were the final words he said: "My fortune is yours for the taking, but you'll have to find it first. I left everything I own in One Piece..."
With the reveal of Evil HERO Doom Prism being basically Vyon, I decided it was time for Adusted Gold Roger to make a return. This deck is a reprise of my second place deck from November 2020 ( https://trinityygo.wixsite.com/trinitygotournaments/tournament/november-2020 ), and I'm happy to say it still holds up. I was fully intending to play this before the banlist, and the unbanning of fusion destiny was a happy surprise here.

I ran a copy of Evil HERO Infernal Rider without realizing that Prism send Shadow Mist does the same thing. It is useful for hands that find Prism through Adusted or Shadow Mist though, so I'm not sure if I'll cut it. I also ran a probably unnecessary Burstenatrix, who only came up once. A lot of the "real" tech in my deck was in the side deck, swapping in extra deck cards like Abyss Dweller and Magnum the Reliever to make up for my lack of free extra deck slots.

I'm not done with topcut yet at the time of writing, but I never had to face Ryzeal in swiss, which is probably a stroke of luck. Cino's decklist scares me the most, he beat me in swiss without the Ryzeal in his deck even being played. It was a damn fun matchup, but makes me wonder if it was only so close out of luck.

Plunder Patrollship Moerk needs to go, especially if Ryzeal are going to stay legal as extenders. I think it's fair to say I ran not even the most optimal Plunder Patroll shell and still managed to keep up with all the other immensely powerful decks that were played this month.

The power of ryzeals and the ability to run the new released mitsurugi! Mostly the deck made any r4nk engine accessible and with the newly unrestricted aleister the deck climbed to new hieghts.
What were some tech choices you made? Would you make any changes to the list moving forward?
I didn’t run the armor package for Otk cause I wanted to test mitsurugi more! They were strong but not as strong as armor.

Besides beelze pass the deck performed as intended! Grind with any +1 accessible in the r4nks and outsource your opponent.

Give life to unplayable decks and rip out any unplayable game state due to 1 single card.
