Radiant Typhoon Deck #772129 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss (Link/Xyz/Fusion) carried by the Dark Time Wizard and Radiant Typhoon engine; Recursion-driven card advantage from Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Foolish Graverobber
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Dark Time Wizard, Radiant Typhoon Eldam or Swen) and build a Dark Time Wizard / Radiant Typhoon board; the Chant copies are illegal and must be cut before this line is playable
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird) to interrupt the opponent's first summon, then convert with a Extra Deck boss
• Recovery: Recur Dark Time Wizard and Spell/Trap from the GY via Foolish Graverobber and Fuwalos draws
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its reliable opening rests on 17 searcher-text cards (about 95 percent to have at least one in a 5-card opening hand, Inferred) and a 7-card hand-trap suite that gives about 71 percent to have one going second. Its conversion is strong on paper because the Extra Deck carries several high-ATK closers (Red-Eyes Exceed, AA-ZEUS, TY-PHON, Bucephalus II), but there is no recorded board data, so conversion and median output are text-only inference. The main weaknesses are the illegal list (3 copies of a Limited card), the lack of any side deck, and a broad archetype spread with only 9 percent exact-name purity. Popularity was not credited: the archetype core is present at 4 of 5 standard cards, which confirms the list is real but not that it is strong.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary (structural weight profile Midrange used unchanged). Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-6); No side deck (-4). Final formula: Theoretical structural only. Unconstrained 0.80*58 + 0.20*50 - 10 modifiers = 46; Illegal deck capped at 35 per rubric Step 2

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Dense searcher count (17) and hand-trap suite (7) give reliable openings and interruption
• High-ATK Extra Deck closers (2500 to 3500) provide real end-board pressure
• Recursion from GY and card draw from Fuwalos support grind

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Radiant Typhoon Chant x3 against a Limited limit of 1
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• Low exact-name purity (9.1 percent) with broad sub-archetype spread
• Single copies of most Extra Deck bosses limit redundancy

Critical choke points

• Dark Time Wizard x3 is the main engine starter, with about 34 percent chance to have one in an opening 5-card hand
• Extra Deck boss access depends on singleton Link/Xyz/Fusion cards

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 are within OCG size rules; Radiant Typhoon Chant x3 exceeds the Limited limit of 1; Ash Blossom x2 is legal for Semi-Limited; Core usage: 4 of 5 standard core cards present; Radiant Typhoon Vision absent
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter and hand-trap probabilities; Strategy classification as Midrange with Toolbox secondary; Dimension scores from card text and composition
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null in the export
