Radiant Typhoon Deck #765411 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 59/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Control
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 44 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Quick-Play chain off Mystical Space Typhoon into Radiant Typhoon hand-summons (Krosea, Swen, Meghala, Eldam) and Fonix / Varuroon Vortex as top-end pressure; Link and Fusion closers from the Extra Deck (Varuroon Marine, Hraesvelgr, Albion, Predaplant) once the board is stable
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Quick-Play spell and a Radiant Typhoon hand-summon when the opponent controls no Spell/Trap, or with MST in hand; hold Ash Blossom or Ghost Belle for the opponent's first answer
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash, Ghost Belle, Droll and Forbidden Droplet to stop the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Quick-Play recursion and Radiant Typhoon summons
• Recovery: Radiant Typhoon Ascendance, Chant, Vision and Manifestation recur from the GY after MST destroys them, and Varuroon Marine searches MST back
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0); the Master Duel ladder is single-game, so there is no post-side plan to evaluate

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: a Quick-Play-spell engine (19 Quick-Play spells) that turns MST and other Quick-Play activations into Radiant Typhoon summons, backed by 5 hand traps and about 11 negation effects. P(at least one of the 10 hand-summon Radiant Typhoon monsters in a 5-card opener) is about 0.74 (Inferred), and P(at least one Quick-Play in hand) is about 0.95, so the engine is usually reachable on turn 1 but often only through a conditional summon gate (opponent controls no Spell/Trap, or MST in GY). Floor and median output are held down by no recorded boards (combos_evidence is empty), 5 MST-dependent recursion spells, and single-choke dependence on MST; the ceiling is scored separately from the card text. Interaction density is the strongest signal, which supports going-second strength; closing power is solid through 3000-ATK Fonix and Varuroon Vortex but has no piercing or direct damage. Popularity (the guide and 60% core inclusion) was not counted as power, and the card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 65.3, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 70, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: Single-choke MST dependence (-3); Off-archetype dilution (-2); Banlist exposure (-1); Negation density (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.74 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.23 · 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

• Quick-Play engine with 19 Quick-Play spells and redundant hand-summon starters
• Heavy negation and hand-trap suite (11 negation-text cards, 5 hand traps)
• Strong going-second disruption density against a hand6 opener
• Recursion from GY after MST destroys Radiant spells

Weaknesses

• MST single-choke point with 31% opener access
• Five MST-dependent spells are dead without MST
• Exact archetype purity is only 35.6%; Extra Deck is a mixed grab-bag of 9 sub-archetypes
• No side deck and no recorded boards to confirm the ceiling

Critical choke points

• Mystical Space Typhoon (3 copies)
• Opponent controls no Spell/Trap as the summon gate for Krosea, Swen, Meghala and Eldam

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Master Duel size and copy limits satisfied; all Limited/Semi-Limited copies within legal limits; Main 44 (26 distinct), Extra 15 (14 distinct), Side 0; Copy histogram 1:13, 2:8, 3:5; Quick-Play count 19; hand-trap count 5
• Inferred: P(≥1 hand-summon starter in hand5) ≈ 0.74; P(≥1 Quick-Play in hand5) ≈ 0.95; Interaction density reads strong from negation text; Going-second hand-trap access ≈ 0.54
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no tournament context); Side-deck adaptability (no side deck)
• 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; going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred usage_statistics in_this_deck flags are false for Garura, Mudragon and S:P Little Knight even though the cards array lists them in the Extra Deck; treated as a Main-Deck-only matching artifact, not as absence Meta Power provisional without a dated metagame sample Side deck empty (side_count 0)
