Radiant Typhoon Deck #769591 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Stun
• Format: ocg

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Sky Striker Ace link chains into Link-summoned boss monsters (Zeke, Zero, Camellia, Azalea) with Sky Striker Ace monsters and Radiant Typhoon draw/search support; Fusion and synchro boss monsters (Red-Eyes Black Dragon Exceed, Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon) as secondary threats; Albion is illegal and cannot be counted
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Radiant Typhoon Vision or Sky Striker Mobilize - Linkage to find or reach a Sky Striker Ace, then Link Summon a Sky Striker Ace (Kagari, Shizuku or Hayate) from the Extra Deck
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C, Ghost Ogre and Evenly Matched to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Sky Striker searchers
• Recovery: Sky Striker Ace Link monsters and Sky Striker spells in the Graveyard recycle through Sky Striker Ace Zero and Shizuku search effects, and Mobilize spells search again from the Deck
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be verified; any sideboarding is a gap

Why it scores here

The deck's engine is a Sky Striker and Radiant Typhoon package: three copies each of Radiant Typhoon Vision and Sky Striker Mobilize - Linkage give the list multiple ways to reach a Sky Striker Ace, which is what lets it open a live Link engine on turn 1 to 2. Interaction is the strongest part of the system, with Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C, Ghost Ogre and Evenly Matched, plus negation and removal spells, which lifts the end-board and going-second scores. Conversion is credited from the Link and Extra Deck boss package rather than from any recorded board, and the floor is held back because no combos or play data exist to show what the deck usually produces. The score is capped for legality: the list runs Radiant Typhoon Chant three times against a limit of one and includes the Forbidden Albion, so this is a theoretical structural read only. Popularity of the archetype did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary with Midrange secondary, one-sided weights as listed; secondary weights not separately applied. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-4); No side deck (-4); Illegal cap (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*57 + 0.20*45 ≈ 55, then modifiers (-8) gives ≈ 47, then Illegal cap applied: final 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

• Multiple Sky Striker starters at three copies each give early Link access
• Dense hand-trap and negation text provides layered interaction
• Link and Extra Deck boss package offers many closing routes

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Radiant Typhoon Chant at 3 copies against a limit of 1, and Forbidden Albion present
• No Side Deck registered
• Low exact-name purity (11.4%) and 43 level-0 spells suggest dilution and brick risk

Critical choke points

• Sky Striker Ace Link monster as the single engine bridge for most lines
• Dependence on Mystical Space Typhoon and Radiant Typhoon searches to set up turn 1

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 counts; Illegal copy-limit violations for Radiant Typhoon Chant and Albion the Branded Dragon; Banlist statuses for restricted cards; Archetype usage: Radiant Typhoon Vision 70.7% and Droll and Lock Bird 63.4% core inclusion
• Observed: Usage statistics show the core is partially present (4 of 6 core cards)
• Inferred: Starter consistency from hypergeometric estimates; Interaction quality from card text; Pilotability and resilience estimates
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (no tournament or meta sample); Meta power (null)
• 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 Side Deck registered — post-side adaptability cannot be evaluated no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
