Zoodiac Deck #761658 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 55/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Radiant Typhoon board pressure: Fonix (3000 ATK) and Varuroon the Vibrant Vortex (3000 DEF) backed by Quick-Play Spell chains, with Zoodiac and Number Xyz as secondary boards; Link and Xyz extra-deck boards (Radiant Typhoon Varuroon Marine, Hraesvelgr, Zoodiac Xyz) once Mystical Space Typhoon has cleared the opponent's backrow
• Turn 1 (going first): Mystical Space Typhoon on the opponent's backrow, then Radiant Typhoon Krosea or Swen from hand while no Spell/Trap remains, then search a Radiant Typhoon Spell or monster to extend
• Turn 2 (going second): Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Forbidden Droplet or Forbidden Crown to blank the opponent's first summon or board, then recover with Radiant Typhoon searchers and Mystical Space Typhoon
• Recovery: Radiant Typhoon Chant, Ascendance, Manifestation and Vision all recur from the GY when destroyed by Mystical Space Typhoon, and Varuroon Marine converts Quick-Play Spells to continuous Spells for another Typhoon search
• After siding: None. The deck runs zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan and no adaptation path between games

Why it scores here

The deck's core is a Radiant Typhoon engine: three Mystical Space Typhoon, three Krosea and three Swen give a T1 play that the 33.8% per-copy hand-of-5 odds and the 93.5% searcher group support, and the GY-recursion cards keep the line alive after removal (D1, D5, D6). Interaction is the strongest part of the list: four hand traps, two Forbidden negations at three copies each, and Mandate and Chant together provide layered answers to the opponent's board (D7). Going second is decent rather than strong because the hand-trap odds (49% in a 6-card hand) depend on drawing one of four cards (D8). The ceiling is real but unrecorded: no combos are supplied, so the Fonix and Varuroon endboard is scored from card text, not from observed boards (D3, D4). Score is held down by the Extra Deck, where Albion has no Fallen of Albaz to summon it, Zoodiac Boarbow and Drident need 4 to 5 Level 4 materials, and only one Zoodiac monster is in the Main Deck. There is also no Side Deck, so the score takes no credit for post-side adaptation. Popularity and meta share earned no points because tournament data is absent, and the score comes from the system's consistency, median output and interaction, not from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Stun secondary (interaction density 11 negation texts and 4 hand traps); weights per Midrange profile, no re-weighting for Stun. Structural ≈ 62, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: Engine conflicts (-3); No side deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(61.9) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(52) + ContextModifiers(-5) = 55 (Meta provisional, no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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

• Three MST plus three Krosea and three Swen give a consistent T1 starter line
• Four hand traps and six negation/removal spells provide layered interaction
• Four Typhoon-class GY recursion cards keep the engine alive after removal
• Searcher density of 16 gives strong card flow and redundancy

Weaknesses

• No side deck: zero post-side adaptation
• Albion the Branded Dragon has no Fallen of Albaz to summon it
• Only one Zoodiac monster in Main, so five Zoodiac Xyz have weak material paths
• Zoodiac Boarbow and Drident need 4 to 5 Level 4 materials that the Main Deck cannot reliably supply
• Number F0 and ZEUS need Xyz boards that the Main Deck builds only conditionally

Critical choke points

• Mystical Space Typhoon count: the Radiant starters and the Krosea/Swen timing depend on MST being in hand or the GY
• Single Zoodiac monster (Ratpier) as the only Zoodiac material source for five Zoodiac Xyz
• Opponent with no Spell/Trap on field blocks the Krosea/Swen Special Summon condition in the opposite direction

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; legal for master-duel size rules (main 40-60, extra 0-15, side 0-15); Restricted cards at legal copy limits: Maxx C 1, Radiant Typhoon Vision 1, Zoodiac Broadbull 1, Chant/Eldam/Fallen/Ratpier 2 each; Copy histogram sums to 40 (9 one-of, 5 two-of, 7 three-of); Archetype purity 12.7% exact-name; Radiant Typhoon is the largest sub-archetype at 20 copies
• Inferred: Midrange primary with Stun secondary from interaction density and Radiant Typhoon spine; Starter consistency from hypergeometric odds (per-copy 0.3376, searcher group 0.9354); Going-second hand-trap access 0.4925; Zoodiac Xyz material constraints from Main Deck Level 4 count (6) and Zoodiac monsters (2); Albion, Number F0 and ZEUS reachability judged from card text and Main Deck contents
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (D13), no tournament link; Post-side plan (no side cards)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists: going-first/second and matchup data are Inferred or Unknown usage_statistics core match ignores Extra Deck cards: Zoodiac Chakanine, Tigermortar, Drident, Broadbull, Boarbow, Albion, M-X-Saber, F0 x2, Ecclesia and Varuroon Marine are present in the deck but reported missing No Side Deck supplied, so D12 cannot be tested against a post-side list
