Legality

Main 52 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Radiant Typhoon monsters (Krosea, Eldam, Swen, Fonix, Varuroon) summoned under the Mystical Space Typhoon or no-opposing-Spell/Trap condition, then pressure from 2200-3000 ATK bodies and Link/Fusion follow-ups.; Charmer Link and Fusion monsters (Dharc Gloomy, Wynn Verdant, Eria Gentle, Charmers of the Grand Circle) and control-steal flip monsters converting a single trade into board control.
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 Radiant Typhoon starter (Krosea, Eldam or Swen) summoned while the opponent controls no Spells/Traps, followed by a search with Radiant Typhoon Vision or Chant and a Quick-Play into Varuroon or Fonix.
• Turn 2 (going second): Open a Droll & Lock Bird or Mystical Space Typhoon to clear the opponent's first interaction, then rebuild through the GY-based Radiant Typhoon triggers; this plan is thin and depends on a 6-card hand.
• Recovery: Mystical Space Typhoon, Radiant Typhoon Vision, Chant, Manifestation and Ascendance each return or add a Mystical Space Typhoon when destroyed by it, and the Spellbook searchers rebuild the hand.
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck can only be adjusted by the pilot between games within its 52 main-deck cards.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional plan on turn 1 going first: nine copies of Radiant Typhoon Krosea, Eldam and Swen are summonable when the opponent controls no Spells/Traps, and roughly 63 percent of going-first opening hands contain at least one of them (Inferred hypergeometric estimate). Card advantage is strong, with 30 searcher-text cards, Spellbook draw effects and Radiant Typhoon Vision/Chant recursion lifting the grind score. Conversion is credible but unmeasured, because no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and floor are text-based inferences. Interaction is thin for a format that punishes it: one hand trap, Varuroon's negation and Mandate, and a handful of flip control-steal monsters. Score is pulled down by a 24-singleton main deck split across three or four competing sub-engines (Radiant Typhoon, Spellbook, Dark Time Wizard, Possessed/Charmer), an empty side deck, and only 2 of 25 usage-core Charmer cards present; popularity and card-by-card strength were not averaged in.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 54.5, Going First ≈ 63, Going Second ≈ 46, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-3); engine compactness (-2); no side deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional) = 0.80*54.5 + 0.20*52 - 7 = 47

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.63 · 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

• Nine Radiant Typhoon starters with a turn-1 summon condition that is easy to meet going first
• Strong card advantage from 30 searcher-text cards and Spellbook draw effects
• Multiple MST-recursion routes (Vision, Chant, Manifestation, Ascendance) give repeatable restarts
• Several high-ATK end-board bodies and Link evasion

Weaknesses

• Almost no hand traps (one, Droll and Lock Bird, at Limited)
• No side deck, so no adaptation across games
• Sub-engines conflict and many singleton cards risk dead hands
• Only 2 of 25 usage-core Charmer cards present, so the list departs from the archetype standard

Critical choke points

• Mystical Space Typhoon (3 copies) is the enabler for the Radiant summon condition once the opponent controls Spells/Traps
• Droll and Lock Bird is the only hand trap and is Limited, so a single copy in hand is the main answer to going-second boards

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 52 main, 15 extra, 0 side within size rules; Limited banlist status for Droll and Lock Bird, Radiant Typhoon Chant and S:P Little Knight, each run at 1 copy; Extra-deck breakdown 10 Link, 3 Fusion, 2 Xyz; 24 main-deck singletons; 22.4 percent exact archetype purity; Usage-core presence 2 of 25 (8 percent)
• Inferred: Going-first starter probability approx 0.63 from hypergeometric estimate; Ceiling and floor from card text only, with no recorded boards; Interaction density from card text; Card advantage from searcher and draw text; Going-second weakness from a 6-card hand and conditional summons
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit, no dated metagame sample; Format fit (D13)
• 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, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown side deck is empty, so D12 cannot be measured from post-side data deck title is null, so the deck is identified only by its Charmer archetype label and card list
