Radiant Typhoon Deck #769465 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Midrange
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Sky Striker Ace link-chain board (Zero, Kagari, Raye/Roze recursion) converting into 1500-2000 ATK link monsters and Red-Eyes Exceed as a late boss; Mulcharmy draw-and-hand-advantage grind; Ecclesia Synchro and Albion Fusion as extra threats (Albion is illegal here)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Sky Striker starters (Mobilize - Linkage!, Raye, Widow Anchor, Hornet Drones) plus Radiant Typhoon Vision/Mulcharmy draw effects, then Link Summon Zero or Kagari and recurse Sky Striker Spells
• Turn 2 (going second): Use four hand traps (Ash Blossom x2, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C) and Solemn/Forbidden Crown on the opponent's first summon, then rebuild through Mulcharmy and Pot draws
• Recovery: Pot of Desires/Pot of Sloth, Upstart Goblin and Mulcharmy draw effects refill the hand; Sky Striker Spells in the GY fuel Camellia, Zeke and Azalea recursion
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal in OCG because it runs one copy each of Albion the Branded Dragon and Triple Tactics Talent, both Forbidden, so it is scored only as a structural read and capped at 30. Its strongest system feature is interaction density: two Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Solemn Judgment, Solemn Accusation, Gravekeeper's Watcher, Forbidden Crown and Mystical Space Typhoon give broad coverage of both going-first and going-second turns. The Sky Striker link engine is real but unevidenced: the exact-name archetype count is only 3 of 55 main cards, the starters are spread across three sub-archetypes, and no recorded boards exist, so combo floor and ceiling are text-only Inferred estimates. The deck has no Side Deck, which lowers its adaptability and tournament reliability. Popularity did not earn points: the core-card usage stats confirm the list is real and accessible, but the score comes from consistency, interaction and resilience on the system, not from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-10); no_side_deck (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(50) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(42) = 48.4; modifiers total -12 -> 36.4; Illegal legality cap applied -> 30 (theoretical/structural-only)

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

• Layered interaction across both turns: four hand traps plus Solemn, Forbidden Crown, MST and Harpie
• Sky Striker link engine with strong 1500-2000 ATK link bodies and GY recursion
• Consistent draw/grind package from Pot cards and Mulcharmy

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: two Forbidden cards over the copy limit
• Engine spread over several sub-archetypes; only 3 exact-name Radiant Typhoon cards
• No Side Deck; no post-side plan
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling cannot be verified

Critical choke points

• Sky Striker starters depend on an empty Main Monster Zone, which conflicts with Mulcharmy and monster-based lines
• A single Link Summon of Zero or Kagari carries most of the board

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Albion the Branded Dragon and Triple Tactics Talent are Forbidden and each run 1 copy over a 0-copy limit; Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 composition and copy histogram; Card text for hand traps, Solemn cards, Pot cards and Sky Striker Ace monsters
• Observed: Usage stats: Mulcharmy Fuwalos 73%, Radiant Typhoon Vision 71%, Droll & Lock Bird 63%, core present 83%
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter and hand-trap probabilities; Consistency and brick estimates; Interaction density and going-second board-breaking read; Link-chain combo ceiling from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied (total_combos 0) — combo floor, median and ceiling are 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 no Side Deck — post-side plan unevaluable deck title null
