Radiant Typhoon Deck #773165 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Large Quick-Play-enabled boards: Radiant Typhoon Fonix (3000 ATK) and Nibiru (3000 ATK), plus Extra Deck Link/Fusion beaters (Hraesvelgr 2400 ATK, The Dragon that Devours the Dogma).; Control-swap and negation lines: Possessed Destiny - Wynn (take control of an opponent monster) and Varuroon, the Vibrant Vortex (negation with MST in GY).
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a Quick-Play Spell (Mystical Space Typhoon / Radiant Typhoon Vision) to Special Summon Radiant Typhoon monsters from hand (Krosea, Eldam, Swen, Meghala) and build a Link/Fusion board; the deck has no line in the evidence that is verified as a complete turn-1 combo.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Evenly Matched, Forbidden Droplet and Varuroon for negation and hand-trap interaction, then summon from hand on the opponent's Quick-Play or Spell activations.
• Recovery: Searchers (Radiant Typhoon Eldam, Swen, Vision, Ascendance, Chant, Greatfly, Varuroon the Marine Eidolon) rebuild Mystical Space Typhoon and Quick-Play Spells from Deck or GY.
• After siding: None: the deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan to evaluate.

Why it scores here

The score comes from the system: the Quick-Play Spell engine (Mystical Space Typhoon, Radiant Typhoon Vision and Chant) feeding Radiant Typhoon monsters from hand, with eight hand traps and five negation-text cards giving real interaction on both turns. Consistency is moderate: the core group (9 copies) has about a 61% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, but the deck has 16 tech slots, 6 single-copy cards and 55 main-deck cards, so bricks are a real risk. There are no recorded combos, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inference and are scored low-confidence. The deck has no side deck, which caps adaptability at 15. The deck is Illegal (two cards run 3 copies with a limit of 2), so under the rubric it receives only a structural read and its final score is capped; popularity (Radiant Typhoon Vision and Mulcharmy Fuwalos at about 68-72% usage) confirms the list is real but did not add points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit cap (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 50.6, then -12 legality cap (Illegal: structural-only read) → 39 (rounded from 38.6)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.39 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Quick-Play engine gives a real turn-1 route through MST and Vision (Inferred)
• Eight hand traps and five negation-text cards give interaction on both turns (Inferred)
• Extra Deck covers Link, Fusion and Synchro (Verified composition)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: two cards over their copy limit (Verified)
• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptation (Verified)
• Low purity: 48 of 55 main cards are off-archetype (Observed)
• Oversized 55-card main with 16 tech slots increases brick risk (Inferred)

Critical choke points

• Mystical Space Typhoon in hand or GY, which gates several summon conditions (Inferred)
• Quick-Play Spell access for the Radiant Typhoon summon-from-hand effects (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: two cards over the copy limit (The Fallen & The Virtuous, Super Polymerization); Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0; all within OCG size rules; Extra Deck: 6 Link, 7 Fusion, 1 Synchro, 1 XYZ; Banlist: Radiant Typhoon Chant Limited (1 copy), Pot of Extravagance and both Semi-Limited cards as listed

• Inferred: P(≥1 MST in hand5) ≈ 0.25 per 3-copy card; core-group proxy 0.61 open; Structural 52 from Midrange weights; going-first 55 and going-second 50 are blends; Negation and removal density from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated sample); D13 matchup fit (no tournament data); Tournament Reliability 45 (no per-pilot or win-rate data)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median, and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power is provisional: no dated metagame sample No side deck: post-side performance cannot be assessed
