Radiant Typhoon Deck #772340 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 51 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion and Link summons of Memento boss monsters (Mementoal Tecuhtlica - Combined Creation 5000 ATK, Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King, Mementotlan Twin Dragon) built from a Memento-heavy Main Deck; Mementotlan-Horned Dragon revival and Link beatdown through Dharc, Selene and Underworld Goddess
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Memento starter or Radiant Typhoon Vision, search a second Memento via Angwitch, Ghattic or Bone Party, then Fusion Summon through Mementotlan Fusion. Hold Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre for the opponent's first activation.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird) to break the opponent's first line, then recover with Memento GY revival and Mulcharmy draws.
• Recovery: Mementotlan Ghattic and Akihiron add Memento cards from the GY, and Mementotlan Shleepy or Horned Dragon re-summon from GY once three different Memento names are there.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the export lists no side deck, so no post-side plan exists in the submitted list.

Why it scores here

The deck's Memento core (11 copies, about 72% chance of at least one in an opening 5) gives it a reasonably reliable starter layer, supported by 16 searcher-text cards. Its interaction suite (7 hand traps, Typhoon, Mystical Space Typhoon, Ghost Ogre and Droll) is the strongest part of the system and helps it survive the first activation. Ceiling and median output are not measured: no recorded boards exist, so the Creation King and Combined Creation boss lines are scored from card text only. The deck has no side deck and the list is over the Ash Blossom copy limit, so it cannot receive a normal Final Contextual score. Popularity from the 'Radiant Typhoon' label and the 72% Vision inclusion did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary, ratio approximately 80:20 (fixed profile used, Midrange weights). Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (over copy limit) (-4); No side deck (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(56) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + ContextModifiers(-8) = 44.8 before the Illegal cap; Illegal deck (Ash Blossom at 3 copies vs 2 legal) capped to 35 as theoretical/structural only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.72 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.28 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense Memento core with searchers and GY recovery
• Seven hand traps plus Typhoon and Mystical Space Typhoon give broad interaction
• Multiple Fusion and Link routes reach high-ATK boss monsters

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: Ash Blossom at 3 copies against a limit of 2
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• Heavy level-0 spell count and 12 triple-copy slots raise brick risk
• Memento engine depends on several specific names and on Fusion-material timing

Critical choke points

• Mementotlan Fusion and Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King (Extra Deck access depends on Memento monsters being on field or in GY)
• Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre as the only first-activation answers before the opponent's turn is taken

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies vs OCG Semi-Limited legal_copies 2; 51 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side counts from evidence legality; Archetype core 11 copies with 72% inclusion in usage statistics
• Inferred: P(≥1 Memento core card in opening 5) ≈ 0.72 (hypergeometric); Interaction density from hand-trap and removal text role tags; Ceiling and median reads based only on card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and format fit (no tournament link or archetype meta share)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchups, brick or starter rates Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck in the export, so post-side performance cannot be evaluated Deck title is null, so the name is taken from the archetype label
