Radiant Typhoon Deck #762673 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 42/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Radiant Typhoon Swen / Eldam beatdown, backed by Zoodiac and Fiendsmith Xyz/Link/Fusion boss monsters; Fiendsmith's Desirae (2800 ATK fusion) when a Fiendsmith engine is live
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Radiant Typhoon or Speedroid starter (Swen, Eldam, Terrortop) and search a second starter, then extend into a Zoodiac or Fiendsmith Xyz/Link (Inferred from text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx "C") to break the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through the searchers (Inferred from text)
• Recovery: Searchers (Fire Formation - Tenki, Speedroid Terrortop, Radiant Typhoon Chant) and hand traps re-supply starters after disruption (Inferred from text)
• After siding: Not evaluable: side deck is empty (0 cards), so no post-side plan exists in this list

Why it scores here

This list is illegal as submitted: three copies of Radiant Typhoon Eldam against a Master Duel limit of two, so the score is a theoretical, structural-only read capped low. The engine is reasonably accessible: about 95% of hands hold at least one archetype-core card and about 98% hold at least one searcher, which supports a moderate consistency score. Conversion and median output could not be measured because no recorded boards exist, so those scores rest on text-only inference and are labelled as such. Interaction is real (six hand traps, four negation texts, five removal texts) and gives the deck a credible going-second plan, but the 14.8% exact-archetype purity and a 0-card side deck pull down the coherence, adaptability and pilotability scores. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype's usage stats and the guide confirm that the list is real and played, not that it is strong. No card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Stun secondary (not separately weighted; Midrange profile used). Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 54.4, then context modifiers (−12) = 42.4, reported as 42; illegal-list cap applied, theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Dense searcher text (20 cards) gives high starter access
• Six hand traps and four negation texts give a credible going-second plan
• Multiple Xyz/Link/Fusion closers, including Fiendsmith's Desirae at 2800 ATK
• Deck is real and played: the archetype guide and usage stats confirm the list

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count: three Radiant Typhoon Eldam against a limit of two
• Low archetype purity (14.8%) with 46 off-archetype copies across several sub-archetypes
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Radiant Typhoon Swen and Eldam need Mystical Space Typhoon in the GY or an opponent with no Spells/Traps, which is a conditional Special Summon
• Zoodiac Xyz summons depend on Level 4 material in the Xyz pool
• Fiendsmith lines need Fiendsmith's Tract or Engraver to reach the boss

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal copy count: Radiant Typhoon Eldam at 3 vs a limit of 2 (legality.violations); Main 40 / Extra 14 / Side 0 satisfies Master Duel size rules; Card text and banlist status for all listed cards; Usage stat: Radiant Typhoon Chant, Ash Blossom, S:P Little Knight at 100% inclusion; 7 of 14 core cards present
• Inferred: Starter and core-card hypergeometric estimates (≈0.34 per 3-copy starter; ≈0.95 archetype core in hand 5); Hand-trap P(≥1 in 6) ≈ 0.65 going second; Going-second plan, recovery plan and interaction density from card text; Structural weights and dimension scores
• Provisional: Meta Power (null: no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first, going-second, matchup, brick and OTK rates) Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side deck is empty: no post-side evidence
