Radiant Typhoon Deck #770600 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Tempo
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 47 / Extra 20 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Xyz/Link) built from the K9, Dark Time Wizard and Radiant Typhoon engines, closing through direct-attack and board-control monsters such as Number 107 and K9-X Werewolf; Recursive Dark Time Wizard / Radiant Typhoon value engine feeding Red-Eyes Black Dragon Exceed and Super Starslayer TY-PHON
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Dark Time Wizard, Radiant Typhoon Eldam or Swen, K9-66a Jokul, K9-66b Lantern) and convert it into an Xyz or Link extension, backed by Ash Blossom or Droll; the plan is structural only, since no recorded boards exist
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to present hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit) against the opponent's starter, then rebuild through the searchers; this is also unverified
• Recovery: Rely on searcher density (16 searcher-text cards, about 89% at least one in a 5-card hand) and recursion from the Graveyard to rebuild after an interruption
• After siding: Not possible in the current list: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan (side_count = 0)

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a searcher: about 89% of 5-card opening hands contain at least one of its 16 searcher-text cards (Inferred from the hypergeometric estimate). It converts that access into Extra Deck bosses such as Number 107, K9-X Werewolf and Red-Eyes Black Dragon Exceed, but these come from three unrelated engines, so the conversion is fragmented. Interaction is the strongest part of the system, with six hand traps and several negation and removal effects, giving about a 58% chance of at least one hand trap in a 6-card going-second hand (Inferred). The score is capped because the list is illegal: it runs a Forbidden card (Called by the Grave) and three cards over their Semi-Limited or Limited copy limits, and its Extra Deck has 20 cards against a 15-card maximum. No combo boards, tournament data or side deck exist, so median output and matchup fit rest on text alone. Popularity and archetype label did not earn points; the archetype purity is only 7.5 percent, and the score comes from the system's consistency and interaction, not from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Balanced. Structural ≈ 46.7, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Banlist and copy-limit exposure (-6); Engine conflict (-4); Illegal cap (-9). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 44.4 - 10 = 34.4; capped at 25 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.89 · 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

• About 89% of opening hands contain at least one searcher (Inferred)
• High interaction density: six hand traps and seven negation-text cards (Inferred)
• Strong Extra Deck boss monsters with high ATK (Verified stats)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Forbidden card and copy-limit violations
• Extra Deck is 20 cards, above the 15-card maximum
• Three engines with 7.5 percent exact archetype purity
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan

Critical choke points

• Dependence on Dark Time Wizard and K9 searchers to reach the Extra Deck bosses
• Single-copy Extra Deck bosses needed for conversion, which a single hand trap can interrupt

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck 47 cards and Extra Deck 20 cards; Called by the Grave is Forbidden with 1 copy run; Ash Blossom and K9-17 Izuna are Semi-Limited with 3 copies each; Droll & Lock Bird is Limited with 2 copies; No Side Deck in the list
• Inferred: Searcher density gives about 89% at least one in a 5-card hand; Hand-trap density gives about 58% at least one in a 6-card hand; Engine conflict across K9, Dark Time Wizard and Radiant Typhoon
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated meta sample); Tournament reliability (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchups or brick rates Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Usage statistics list Sky Striker core cards that are absent from this deck; the archetype label Radiant Typhoon does not match the deck's dominant engines
