Radiant Typhoon Deck #771982 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 39/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Radiant Typhoon Quick-Play chain into Radiant Typhoon Fonix, Varuroon or Shiina boards, with Mystical Space Typhoon as the recurring engine piece; Extra Deck Link and Fusion boards (Varuroon the Marine Eidolon, Hraesvelgr, The Dragon that Devours the Dogma) built off Quick-Play plays
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Radiant Typhoon Vision or MST, use a WIND Special Summon from hand (Eldam/Swen/Meghala) when a Quick-Play is activated, and aim for a Link or Fusion board while holding Ash Blossom
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and Nibiru as hand traps; answer the opponent's first summon and rebuild through Quick-Play starters
• Recovery: Recover MST and Quick-Play spells from the GY through Radiant Typhoon Ascendance, Chant and Manifestation, which all trigger when MST destroys them
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The list reliably opens a Quick-Play engine: about 76% of 5-card openers contain at least one of the 13 archetype-core cards, and MST plus Vision give repeatable starts. Interaction is layered: three Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Forbidden Droplet, Dimensional Fissure, Harpie's Feather Duster and two negate-capable Extra Deck monsters give several routes through an opponent's turn. Conversion is strong when the chain connects, with WIND 2900 to 3000 ATK boards and Link/Fusion options, but no recorded boards exist, so the median and ceiling are text-only inferences. The score is capped because three cards exceed OCG copy limits and the deck is illegal as built: this is a theoretical, structural read only. Deck purity is low, with 47 of 55 main-deck copies off the exact Radiant Typhoon name, so the score reflects the system's cohesion rather than the popularity of the archetype or any average of individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 52.8, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violations (-12); Limited cards held at legal count (0). Final formula: Illegal: theoretical/structural-only. 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 51.2, then legality modifier -12 (maximum allowed) = 39. Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.76 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.24 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Quick-Play starters recur and MST is a repeatable engine piece
• Layered interaction: three Ash Blossom plus Droll, Droplet, Fissure, Duster and Varuroon negate
• Strong WIND boards (Fonix 3000, Shiina 2900, Ty-Phon 2900) and Link/Fusion options

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: three cards over OCG copy limits
• Low archetype purity (32.9%) across 9 sub-archetypes weakens engine coherence
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• Median and ceiling unmeasured: no recorded boards

Critical choke points

• MST availability: most of the engine and recovery routes through it
• Ash Blossom and Droll as the only defense against going-second disruption

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Three copy-limit violations under OCG Semi-Limited caps; Limited cards each at 1 copy; Main 55 and Extra 15, both legal; Exact-name purity 32.9%; Usage core present 5 of 5
• Inferred: Starter access 0.76 and brick proxy 0.24; Interaction layering and going-second quality; Ceiling read from card text; Pilotability estimate
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (D13); Meta power (null)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rate Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck supplied
