Radiant Typhoon Deck #759740 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Tempo
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Xyz and Link boards (Zoodiac, Fiendsmith) built from a wide searcher package, closing through Zoodiac and Fiendsmith boss monsters; Radiant Typhoon Swen/Eldam pressure off Mystical Space Typhoon-style plays, plus Fiendsmith Desirae (2800 ATK Fusion) when materials line up
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a starter (Fire Formation - Tenki, Speedroid Terrortop or Radiant Typhoon Chant) into a Level 3 or 4 monster, then Xyz or Link into a Zoodiac or Fiendsmith boss; hold Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird for the first interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird) to slow the opposing turn, then rebuild with searchers; boss conversion depends on the opponent leaving a board to answer
• Recovery: Rebuild from the GY through Zoodiac Ramram and Fiendsmith Lacrima recursion and Fiendsmith's Tract; redundancy of searchers is high but archetype cohesion is low
• After siding: No side deck is supplied, so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

The deck's consistency rests on system-level redundancy rather than on a single engine: about 20 distinct searcher-text cards give a 97.6% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand, and the archetype-core group opens at least one copy 94.9% of the time (Inferred). Interaction is layered through six hand traps and several negation or removal effects, which gives it real going-second resilience. However, only 8 of 40 main-deck cards are exact Radiant Typhoon names (14.8% exact purity), and the deck spreads across Zoodiac, Fiendsmith, Roid, Fire Formation and Mulcharmy, so the engine is less coherent than the card pool suggests. No recorded boards exist, so the floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences and are scored conservatively. The deck is illegal because it runs three copies of Radiant Typhoon Eldam against a limit of two, so the final score is capped at 35 and labelled structural-only. Popularity in the guide and the archetype-core presence did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange profile (primary), no secondary blend. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 50.8 before modifiers; modifiers -10 gives 40.8; Illegal deck capped at 35 (structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.05 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Very high searcher density (20 cards) gives reliable access to a starter
• Six hand traps and several negation/removal effects provide layered interaction
• Compact 40-card main with three copies of most engine cards

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Radiant Typhoon Eldam is run three times against a limit of two
• Low archetype purity (14.8%) across five sub-archetypes weakens engine coherence
• No side deck supplied, so post-side plan cannot be evaluated

Critical choke points

• Radiant Typhoon Eldam over-limit makes the list illegal until one copy is removed
• Zoodiac and Fiendsmith boss conversion requires specific Extra Deck materials that the opponent can disrupt

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Radiant Typhoon Eldam runs 3 copies against a limit of 2 (Illegal); Main 40 and Extra 14 are within Master Duel size rules; Copy histogram 8/4/8 and exact-name purity 14.8%; Searcher text count 20 and hand-trap count 6; Archetype-core P(>=1 in hand of 5) = 0.9489 from the probability table; Usage stats: 7 of 14 core cards present
• Inferred: Starter access 0.976 and full-brick estimate 0.051 derived from hypergeometric draws; Going-second hand-trap availability 0.650; Engine coherence reduced by five sub-archetypes; Closing power and matchup read from card text only
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup coverage and format fit (no tournament link)
• 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 no side deck supplied — D12 is a placeholder deck title is null — deck_name unavailable
