Zoodiac Deck #770387 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 59/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Quick-Play chain of Radiant Typhoon monsters and Mystical Space Typhoon into Fonix / Krosea / Varuroon pressure, with Zoodiac and Number Xyz as secondary closers; Link and Xyz boss monsters (Varuroon Marine Eidolon, Number F0, Zoodiac Xyz) once Level 4 material is available
• Turn 1 (going first): Search and set up Radiant Typhoon / Mystical Space Typhoon, keep Ash Blossom and Droll or Maxx C up as interaction, and summon a Radiant Typhoon monster when no Spell/Trap is on the opponent's side
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C) to break the opponent's first play, then chain Quick-Play Spells to summon Fonix or Varuroon
• Recovery: Radiant Typhoon Mandate and Ascendance recycle Quick-Play Spells and revive Level 6 or lower Radiant Typhoon monsters from the GY; Fuwalos and Maxx C provide card flow
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated; the deck relies on its main-deck interaction

Why it scores here

The deck's power comes from the Radiant Typhoon Quick-Play engine on the system level, not from averaging card scores. Three copies each of Mystical Space Typhoon, Krosea and Swen, plus 13 searcher-text cards, give a roughly 88% chance of at least one searcher in a going-first opening hand, which makes the engine reliably reachable. Eight hand traps and about ten negation effects give it strong interaction for both turn orders (about 76% chance of a hand trap going second), so it can break a first play and keep its board. Its closing power depends on Fonix, Varuroon and the Link/Xyz bosses, but five Zoodiac Xyz and two Number Xyz need Level 4 material that only three main-deck cards provide, so part of the Extra Deck is dead in many hands. No combo boards were recorded, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference. Popularity of Zoodiac or Radiant Typhoon was not counted as power, and no Side Deck or meta sample exists to raise the score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 62.3, Going First ≈ 63, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.88 · 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 hand-trap package makes the Radiant Typhoon engine reliably reachable
• Layered negation and removal (Ash Blossom, Droplet, Varuroon, Crossout) covers both turn orders
• Quick-Play recursion through Mandate and Ascendance keeps the engine alive after disruption

Weaknesses

• Five Zoodiac Xyz and two Number Xyz are poorly supported by only seven main-deck Level 4 monsters
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No recorded boards, so ceiling and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Mystical Space Typhoon count (3) gates several Radiant Typhoon summon conditions
• Level 4 material for the Zoodiac Xyz line depends on very few main-deck cards

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status with 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; Restricted-card copy limits respected (Crossout, Maxx C, Vision, Broadbull at 1 copy; Semi-Limited cards at 2); Card text for searchers, hand traps and negations
• Observed: Archetype usage stats: Ash Blossom, Radiant Typhoon Swen and Mystical Space Typhoon are core cards in the Zoodiac ecosystem
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency from hypergeometric draw odds; Interaction and resilience from card text; Level 4 material shortfall for Zoodiac and Number Xyz
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit, which need a dated metagame sample
• 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 absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) no Side Deck registered; post-side plan cannot be evaluated Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
