Radiant Typhoon Deck #773323 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 34/100 (±10 · 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. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Sky Striker Ace link-chain board from Link Summons (Kagari, Zero, Hayate, Shizuku, Azalea, Zeke) with Sky Striker Spell recursion; Fusion/Synchro closers (The Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon, Garura) when the Link line is interrupted
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Radiant Typhoon Vision / Sky Striker Mobilize - Engage! to add a Sky Striker card, then Shark Cannon or Hornet Drones to set up the first Link Summon (Inferred, no combo data)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Droll & Lock Bird and Super Polymerization for the opponent's first board, then go to the Link line (Inferred)
• Recovery: Sky Striker Spells in GY feed Raye/Roze/Kagari effects and Mobilize recursion; a second Link Summon from Extra Deck replaces lost boards (Inferred)
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck is illegal as built and cannot be sided in this list

Why it scores here

This list would open a Sky Striker Link line about one time in four on the going-first 5-card hand: P(at least one copy of a 3-copy card in hand) is about 0.25, and the 8-copy archetype core has about 0.56 odds of at least one card in hand. Most of the deck is Quick-Play Spells (44 of 55 Main cards) and only 4.3% of Main cards carry the exact Radiant Typhoon name, so the engine depends on Sky Striker cards and generic Spells rather than the named archetype. The deck has no recorded boards, so its combo ceiling and median are text-only inferences and are kept low. Interaction is dense (5 hand traps, 12 negation-text cards, 11 removal-text cards) and earns the strongest dimension, but three over-limit Semi-Limited cards make the list illegal, so the score is capped. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype usage stats show the core cards are the standard list, not a strength signal. The score is built from the deck as a system, not from averaging the card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Copy-limit violation (-8); Banlist exposure (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); illegal list, so the result is capped and labelled structural-only: 0.80*47 + 0.20*40 = 45.6, then -12 modifiers = 34

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.56 · 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 interaction: 5 hand traps, 12 negation-text cards and 11 removal-text cards
• Real Link Summon engine with Sky Striker Ace recursion and 10 Link monsters
• Deep Extra Deck options across Link, Fusion and Synchro closers

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: three cards exceed the OCG copy limit
• Low exact-archetype purity (4.3%) and 67 off-archetype copies weaken engine coherence
• Spell-heavy shell (44 Spells) with substantial brick risk and no Side Deck

Critical choke points

• Sky Striker monster count for every Link Summon (the 26 Sky Striker copies are mostly Spells)
• Semi-Limited copy limits on Ash Blossom, Fallen & Virtuous and Super Polymerization
• Mobilize and Hornet Drones restriction counts

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 are within OCG size rules; Three over-limit cards and their Semi-Limited status; Card text for 26 distinct Main and 13 distinct Extra cards; Archetype usage stats: 5 core cards, 4 present
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probabilities (hypergeometric on the Main Deck); Going-first and going-second plans from card text; Interaction density and resilience from text role hints; Pilotability from step count in card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and tournament reliability (no tournament data)
• 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 are absent no win-rate telemetry in YGOVN: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No Side Deck registered for this deck
