Master Duel Season 44: Climb to Master with Pure Ryzeal

The new season marks the coming of Ryzeal, which is the other major T1 contender alongside Maliss from the previous season. I do have mixed feelings about the format, because on one hand I really enjoy Ryzeal and its mid-range play-style compared to Maliss, but obviously its introduction alongside Maliss receiving 0 banlist hits whatsoever means there are two very different top decks to prepare for on ladder which makes the format very sacky and somewhat luck-oriented, compared to in paper formats where a side deck would fix those issues. No Eclipse Twins is also somewhat big, and right now it's hard to say which deck I think is actually better in the format due to it.

Opted for a pure list over the TCG-popular Fiendsmith variant as 1 Bonfire makes the Ryzeal consistency a lot worse and the Fiendsmith version plays a lot worse into Maxx-C and Fuwalos. I'm also trying a small Shark package for a slight consistency boost and more engine pushes. Detonator animation is sick btw
