Radiant Typhoon Deck #770602 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 50 / Extra 18 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Sky Striker Ace link pressure: Link-Summon Sky Striker Aces from the Extra Deck, then extend with Raigeki and Super Starslayer TY-PHON - Sky Crisis as finishers (Inferred from card text); Dragon that Devours the Dogma / Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon as off-archetype boss monsters (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Sky Striker Mobilize / Radiant Typhoon Vision searcher, reach a Sky Striker Ace, and Link-Summon into Ace - Raye / Zero style boards (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre and Droll as hand interaction, then rebuild through Sky Striker Ace link lines (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover Sky Striker Spells from the GY through Sky Striker Ace - Raye and Sky Striker Ace - Zeke-type effects (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan (verified from legality counts)

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a connected system, not as an average of its cards, and its legality caps the final result. Its core engine is Sky Striker: the searchers (Mobilize, Radiant Typhoon Vision, Radiant Typhoon Eldam/Swen) and Link Summons give it a plausible route to a Sky Striker Ace board on turn 1 or 2, but the 5-card opening-hand probability of at least one archetype core card is only about 0.55 (Inferred). Most of the 32 Spells are conditional on controlling no monsters, which raises brick and dead-card risk. Interaction is dense (11 negation-text cards, 16 removal-text cards, 7 hand traps), which helps the deck survive a going-second board, and the 18-card Extra Deck gives strong finishers. Popularity or usage statistics did not earn any points, and the deck is illegal with 18 Extra Deck cards and two over-limit Semi-Limited cards, so the final score is theoretical only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange only; Toolbox noted as secondary and not blended. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal list (-12). Final formula: Illegal cap: theoretical/structural-only. Uncapped 0.80*Structural(49) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 47.2; illegality modifier -12 gives 35.2; capped at 25 because the list is illegal (extra 18 > 15, two over-limit Semi-Limited copies).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.55 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.45 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense interaction: 11 negation-text cards, 16 removal-text cards and 7 hand traps
• Searchers in the Main Deck (8 cards) for consistent starters
• Strong Extra Deck finishers: Super Starslayer TY-PHON - Sky Crisis, Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Extra Deck of 18 exceeds the limit of 15, and two Semi-Limited cards are over the limit
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• 32 Spells in a 50-card Main Deck, many of them conditional on controlling no monsters

Critical choke points

• Legality must be fixed before any normal rating applies
• Sky Striker Ace link lines depend on Sky Striker Mobilize and the searchers, and interruption by hand traps before the Link Summon ends the turn

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 50, Extra 18, Side 0 counts from the legality block; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Super Polymerization run at 3 copies against a legal limit of 2; Extra Deck of 18 exceeds the TCG limit of 15; Usage stats list Kagari, Zero and Camellia as not in deck, but the card list includes them in the Extra Deck (evidence inconsistency)
• Inferred: Hypergeometric opening-hand estimates for the core and searcher groups; Conditional brick rate from text; Dimension scores D1-D14 from card text and composition; Structural score 49 from the Midrange profile
• Provisional: Meta power (null); Matchup fit (D13)
• Data gaps: Evidence inconsistency: usage_statistics marks Sky Striker Ace - Kagari, Ace = Zero and Camellia as not in deck (in_this_deck false, copies 0), but the card list includes them in the Extra Deck, so core_cards_present (3 of 25) is likely undercounted No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and match record are absent No Side Deck supplied, so post-side scoring is absent Title is null
