Radiant Typhoon Deck #772297 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Multi-archetype board pressure: K9 Xyz monsters (K9-X Werewolf, K9-17 Ripper) and Number monsters (C104 Masquerade) closing through hand-trap-protected turns; Radiant Typhoon and Dark Time Wizard recursion and searches feeding Xyz and Link extra-deck summons
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Radiant Typhoon Vision, Mulcharmy or Dark Time Wizard draw/search effects to find a Level 3 or 4 starter, then Tuner or Xyz bridge into a K9 Xyz, keeping Ash Blossom or Ghost Ogre up when possible
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold a six-card hand with a hand trap (Ash Blossom, D.D. Crow, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird) to interrupt the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draw triggers and Radiant Typhoon searches
• Recovery: Radiant Typhoon Eldam or Swen special summons from hand when Mystical Space Typhoon is in the GY or the opponent controls no Spell/Trap; recurring Dark Time Wizard spells and Foolish Graverobber return to the field from the GY
• After siding: Not applicable: the export contains no side deck, so there is no post-side plan to evaluate

Why it scores here

The deck is evaluated as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its consistency comes from 16 searcher-text cards (P at least one in a 5-card opening hand is about 0.83, Inferred) and an archetype core of 11 copies that appears in about 68% of hands, but exact-name Radiant Typhoon purity is only 8.5%, so the 56-card main is a multi-archetype toolbox rather than one engine. Interaction is the strongest part: 12 hand traps, 7 negation texts and 25 removal texts give it real answers on the going-second turn, which is why the going-second read is stronger than going-first. Combo ceiling and median output score only on text-based reasoning because the export contains zero recorded boards, so both carry low confidence. Popularity in the Radiant Typhoon archetype and the presence of K9 and Number Xyz finishers did not earn points on their own. The Illegal status caps the final score, since two cards run 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2, so this result is theoretical and structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary, Midrange secondary (approximately 80/20, disclosed). Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); no Side Deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 52, then Illegal cap applied (copy-limit violations) to 25; theoretical/structural-only result; Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.83 · 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 hand-trap and negation suite (12 hand traps, 7 negation texts)
• Strong searcher density (16 searcher-text cards) for consistent openings
• Heavy end-board removal coverage (25 removal-text cards) plus Jinzo
• High-ATK Xyz and Link finishers (K9-X Werewolf 3300, C104 Masquerade 3000)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: two cards exceed the OCG Semi-Limited copy limit
• Multi-archetype build (8.5% exact-name purity) with conflicting engines
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptability
• No recorded boards or telemetry to verify combo output

Critical choke points

• The copy-limit violations make the list unplayable in an official OCG event until corrected
• Radiant Typhoon engine depends on Mystical Space Typhoon being in the GY or on the opponent controlling no Spell/Trap
• Hand-trap-first openings can leave the hand dead when the opponent does not act

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and K9-17 Izuna each run 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2; Limited cards (A Case for K9, Bystial Magnamhut, Droll & Lock Bird, K9-66a Jokul, Radiant Typhoon Chant, S:P Little Knight) each run exactly 1 copy; Main deck size 56, Extra 15, Side 0 (all within OCG size rules); Card stats and text as given in evidence
• Observed: Archetype core presence: 5 of 5 core cards present in the deck (usage statistics)
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency P(at least one searcher) ≈ 0.83 (hypergeometric); Interaction density and going-second hand-trap strength from card text; Multi-archetype conflict and 8.5% exact-name purity as a coherence risk
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample or tournament link)
• 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/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck in the export, so post-side plans cannot be evaluated
