Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Radiant Typhoon and Charmer Link/Fusion boards plus Fonix, Shiina and Red-Eyes Exceed beats, enabled by Mystical Space Typhoon (Inferred); Hraesvelgr and Varuroon Link boards after Quick-Play activations (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 Quick-Play or MST, then Radiant Typhoon Special Summons (Eldam, Swen, Meghala, Krosea) and Link into Varuroon or Hraesvelgr (Inferred from text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Droll and Lock Bird or Varuroon the Vibrant Vortex negates on the opponent's activation, then Charmer flip control (Inferred from text)
• Recovery: Spellbook of Knowledge and Secrets draw and search; Ascendance and Manifestation recur monsters from the GY (Inferred from text)
• After siding: None: the deck runs 0 side-deck cards

Why it scores here

The deck is a Radiant Typhoon list whose opening hands are very likely to contain a search route: 30 searcher-text cards put at least one in a 5-card hand at roughly 0.99, and three Mystical Space Typhoon plus five MST-search effects make the Quick-Play engine redundant. Those engine pieces are spread across at least four sub-archetypes (Radiant Typhoon 21 copies, Charmer 15, Spellbook 7, Dark Time Wizard 4, Possessed 2), so exact-name purity is only 31.3% and the engines compete for the same hand slots. Consistency is scored from hypergeometric estimates and card text only; there are no recorded boards, so the conversion ceiling and median are inferred and not measured. Interaction is spread across MST, Varuroon, Totem Bird, Mandate and a single Limited Droll and Lock Bird, and the zero-card side deck removes any post-side plan. The score comes from consistency, redundancy and boss-monster pressure on the system; neither the archetype's popularity nor an average of card scores contributed.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 55.9, Going First ≈ 63, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-2); weak_post_side_plan (-3); engine_conflicts (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.27 · 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

• Three MST plus five MST-search effects give redundant access to the core Quick-Play engine
• 30 searcher-text cards make a functional opening hand near-certain
• Boss monsters at 2400 to 3400 ATK give closing power
• Multiple interaction layers: MST, Varuroon, Totem Bird, Mandate, Droll

Weaknesses

• Zero side-deck cards, so no post-side plan
• Four or more sub-archetype engines dilute exact-name purity to 31.3%
• 24 singleton main-deck cards reduce consistency
• No recorded combos, so conversion and median output are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Mystical Space Typhoon in hand or GY enables most Radiant Typhoon Special Summons
• Droll and Lock Bird is the only hand trap and is Limited at 1 copy
• Varuroon's negate needs MST in the GY

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal list: 52 main, 15 extra, 0 side; within size_rules; Three Limited cards at legal copies (Droll and Lock Bird, Radiant Typhoon Chant, S:P Little Knight); Exact-name archetype purity 31.3%; 0 side-deck cards
• Inferred: Starter and searcher probabilities (P >= 1 searcher in 5 = 0.99; P >= 1 MST in 5 = 0.27); Consistency, brick and interaction quality from card text and composition; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (D13), with no dated metagame or tournament data
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference usage_statistics reports available:true, but its core list (Sky Striker, Ecclesia, Albion, Dark Hole, Raigeki) does not match Radiant Typhoon, so it was treated as unusable and not used for core-card or deviation claims No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot match record absent No win-rate, going-first/second, starter, or brick telemetry in YGOVN Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample No guides attached (guides_evidence total 0) Deck title is null
