Radiant Typhoon Deck #757411 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 32/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Tempo
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link Summon a chain of Sky Striker Ace link monsters (Zero, Kagari, Zeke, Azalea) for board pressure and recursive Sky Striker Ace follow-ups; Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon (Synchro) and Albion (Fusion, Forbidden) as board-level finishers; the Albion copy is not legally playable
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Sky Striker spell (Mobilize - Linkage / Engage) to search or summon a Sky Striker Ace, then link into a second Ace to build a board
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Infinite Impermanence and Droll to disrupt the opponent's engine, then rebuild through Sky Striker Ace links
• Recovery: Recurring Sky Striker Ace monsters from the GY (Raye, Roze) and draw effects (Radiant Typhoon Vision, Mulcharmy Fuwalos/Purulia, Pot of Desires/Sloth)
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck has no side deck (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is not a Radiant Typhoon list in substance: 29 of its 55 main-deck cards are Sky Striker, and only 3 copies carry the exact Radiant Typhoon name, so the archetype label does not describe the engine. Its engine is a Sky Striker Link chain, which the probabilities place at roughly 25% to have at least one 3-copy starter in a 5-card opening hand, and the 11-copy archetype-core group reaches about 69%. Its disruption is the strongest part of the list, with 11 hand traps and about 76% odds of at least one going second. The deck has no recorded boards, so combo ceiling and median are text-only inferences and are scored low. Popularity did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged. Because the list is illegal (three Semi-Limited cards at 3 copies, one Limited card at 2 copies, and two Forbidden cards), it is capped and labelled theoretical/structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 44, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); weak post-side plan (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 0.80*45.9 + 0.20*35 = 43.7; then context modifiers -12 (illegal list capped to theoretical/structural), rounded to 32

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense hand-trap suite (11 cards) with about 76% odds of at least one going second
• Multiple draw and search sources (Radiant Typhoon Vision, Mulcharmy, Pot of Desires/Sloth, Upstart Goblin, Sky Striker Mobilize)
• Sky Striker Ace link chain gives recursive board pressure from the Extra Deck
• Good negation coverage across hand traps and Solemn/Called effects

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three Semi-Limited cards run at 3 copies, Droll runs at 2, and two Forbidden cards are present
• Engine starter access is low (about 25% for any single 3-copy starter in a 5-card opening hand)
• Labelled Radiant Typhoon but built as Sky Striker; the Radiant Typhoon core (Chant, Swen, Krosea, Mandate) is absent
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Extra Deck has a Forbidden Fusion (Albion) and a Limited Link (S:P Little Knight) that cannot both be legally run

Critical choke points

• Sky Striker Mobilize - Engage! and Linkage! as the sole engine enablers, with few alternate starters
• Forbidden Albion and Called by the Grave in the list, which must be removed before the deck can be played
• Sky Striker Ace link chain requiring specific Link materials; loss of one Ace breaks the second link

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal (copy-limit violations and two Forbidden cards); Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts; Archetype spread: Sky Striker 29, Radiant Typhoon exact-name 3; Usage: Radiant Typhoon core cards (Chant, Swen, Krosea, Mandate) absent
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter, core and hand-trap probabilities; Brick estimate and hand-trap value going second; Engine conversion and resilience read from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament data)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null; archetype label conflicts with the card composition
