Radiant Typhoon Deck #769855 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 33/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Sky Striker Ace Link Monsters from the Extra Deck, chained through Sky Striker Spells and Radiant Typhoon Quick-Play Spells, ending in direct or Link-based pressure; Radiant Typhoon Eldam and Swen as Level 3 searching bodies feeding the Sky Striker and Radiant Typhoon lines
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Sky Striker Mobilize - Linkage!, Radiant Typhoon Vision or Mulcharmy Fuwalos to generate card flow, then link into Sky Striker Ace Link Monsters (Kagari, Zero, Zeke)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and Maxx C as hand traps to interrupt the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild with Radiant Typhoon searches
• Recovery: Recursion from the GY via Sky Striker Spells (Lemnisgate, Engage) and the Mulcharmy draw effects to refill the hand after a broken line
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is illegal in OCG: it runs three copies of Radiant Typhoon Chant (limit 1), and it includes Triple Tactics Talent and Albion the Branded Dragon, both Forbidden. Under the rubric's legality guardrail it therefore gets only a theoretical, structural-only score capped low. Its structural read comes from the system: the searcher density (16 searcher-text cards, about 83% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand per the hypergeometric estimate) and Mulcharmy/Radiant Typhoon draw-and-search engines support engine accessibility, and the Sky Striker Link Monsters give Extra Deck redundancy. Those strengths are offset by the 35-spell main deck, which raises brick and dead-draw risk, and by the absence of any recorded boards or Side Deck, which leaves the combo ceiling, median output, and going-second plan unverified. Archetype popularity (Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Radiant Typhoon Vision at 70%+ inclusion) confirms the list is real, but it did not add points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo (primary) with Stun as secondary; Combo weights used for Structural. Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 36, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); Engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: Theoretical only (Illegal): 0.80*Structural(47.4) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) = 42.9, then context modifiers total -12 = 30.9, reported as 33 with the legality cap disclosed; Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.83 · 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

• Dense searcher and draw text (16 searcher cards, plus Mulcharmy draws) gives high probability of finding a starter
• Sky Striker Ace Link Monsters provide multiple Extra Deck routes into the same engine
• Layered interaction: Ash Blossom, Droll, Maxx C, Solemn Judgment and Ultimate Sky

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: copy-limit and Forbidden card violations, so no normal final score applies
• Spell-heavy main (35 Spells) with 39 Level-0 cards risks dead hands
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability
• No recorded combos or tournament data to confirm the ceiling or floor

Critical choke points

• The Sky Striker Ace Link Monsters depend on specific Extra Deck pieces; losing one shuts off a main route
• Quick-Play spells can be stopped by hand traps when the opponent holds them
• Forbidden cards cannot be legally played in OCG, so the intended line is incomplete as built

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 sizes are within OCG size rules; Triple Tactics Talent and Albion the Branded Dragon are Forbidden in OCG; Radiant Typhoon Chant runs 3 copies against a Limited allowance of 1; Archetype inclusion: Mulcharmy Fuwalos 73%, Radiant Typhoon Vision 71%
• Inferred: Searcher density gives about 83% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand; Hand-trap coverage gives about 38% chance of at least one hand trap in a 6-card going-second hand; Dimension scores derive from card text, composition and probability estimates
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit are unknown without a dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot records are absent No win-rate telemetry exists for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null in the export
