Why it scores here
Radiant Typhoon Chant is a Quick-Play that only activates after being destroyed by Mystical Space Typhoon, and then converts into one search: a Level 4 or lower Radiant Typhoon monster from Deck, or MST from Deck or GY. It is a card-neutral searcher with recursion of MST, not a board-maker, so its one-card combo output is thin (one recorded board, power index 18). The deck-level usage is high (400 of 400 decks, 99.5% MST pairing), but that frequency confirms accessibility rather than strength, and the score reflects that the high inclusion does not earn extra points.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Reachable only through a Mystical Space Typhoon hit on the card, which the sample runs MST at 99.5%, so the route is common but conditional (observed; the MST gate is verified from card text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | Its single recorded combo is a one-card starter into a low-power board (power index 18, no boss or end-board pieces), so conversion is limited to a search (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | One search for one card used is roughly card-neutral, with an MST recursion from GY adding some value (verified text; netCardAdvantage 0 in the recorded combo). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | The card itself offers no negation or removal; it is a search effect with no opponent interaction (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 5 | A Quick-Play Spell has no material or body value (verified from frame type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Its activation requires a prior MST destruction and it can be Set again, giving some recovery across turns, but a single hit on the enabler removes the route (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | It is a one-slot spell with 2 typical copies in the usage data and no garnet or lock restriction, though the MST dependence restricts splashing (observed, with an inferred restriction). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher/Tutor + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 48, Deck ≈ 48, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Limited to 1 in TCG (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Searches a Radiant Typhoon monster of Level 4 or lower from Deck (verified)
- Recovers Mystical Space Typhoon from Deck or GY, which feeds the MST-gated engine (verified)
- Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks with 2 typical copies (observed)
Weaknesses
- Only activates after being destroyed by MST's effect, so it needs a specific enabler (verified)
- Provides no board, negation, or material value on its own (verified)
- Thin combo evidence: a single recorded board with power index 18 (observed)
Counters / choke points
- Opponent removal of the Set card before it can activate (inferred from the activation gate)
- Negation of the search activation (inferred; not tabled in evidence)
Best use
MST-gated searcher and MST recursion. Decks: Radiant Typhoon. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Activation requires destruction by MST's effect and allows a Set (card text); Searches a Level 4 or lower Radiant Typhoon monster or MST from Deck or GY (card text); Once-per-turn limit on each effect (card text); Quick-Play Spell frame with no material value (card data)
- Observed: Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks with 1.99 average copies (deck data); MST appears in 99.5% of those decks (top partners); One recorded combo as starter, power index 18 (combo data); Inclusion 100% in Radiant Typhoon, Zoodiac and X-Saber usage stats (usage statistics)
- Inferred: Activation gate makes the card reachable mostly through MST and so limits accessibility; Recursion of MST gives the card some resilience across turns; Opponent removal or negation of the search would end the line
- Data gaps: Only one recorded combo, so the combo signal is thin No rulings data supplied No dated metagame sample, so meta power is null
