Radiant Typhoon Deck #773455 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 51/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Toolbox
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 52 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Quick-Play chain activations (Mystical Space Typhoon, Radiant Typhoon Vision, Dark Time Wizard) summon Radiant Typhoon Krosea, Varuroon, Fonix and Shiina for board pressure, with Charmer link and flip control effects for board breaking.; Charmer Link and Fusion monsters (Dharc Gloomy, Lyna Lustrous, Wynn Verdant, Eria Gentle, Charmers of the Grand Circle) that recurse opposing monsters and take control of them.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Quick-Play Spell (MST or Radiant Typhoon Vision) and a Normal Summon, then use the Quick-Play activation to Special Summon Krosea, Varuroon or Fonix from hand and build a Link Summon.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the Quick-Play activation to answer the opponent's board with MST and Varuroon negation, then recover with Charmer flip control effects. Only one real hand trap (Droll & Lock Bird, 1 copy) limits this plan.
• Recovery: Recover from the GY through Radiant Typhoon Vision, Ascendance and Manifestation (each triggers when destroyed by MST) and through Spellbook searchers. Recovery depends on MST being in the GY or the hand.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (side_count 0), so no post-side plan exists in the evidence. This is a legal but unadjustable list.

Why it scores here

The deck's consistency rests on a Quick-Play chain engine: 14 Quick-Play Spells, three Mystical Space Typhoon and three Radiant Typhoon Vision, with a 0.807 probability that at least one of the 14 archetype-core copies is in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred). The Quick-Play activation is the trigger that summons Krosea, Varuroon and Fonix from hand, so the ceiling is high on the text read, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference. Interaction is broad (Mandate and Varuroon negations, Totem Bird and Number 75 effects, Jinzo, and seven control-steal effects) and closing power is high (Fonix 3000, Shiina 2900, Krosea 2200). The score is held down by multi-engine dilution (exact-name purity 31.3% across Radiant Typhoon, Charmer, Spellbook, Dark Time Wizard and Possessed), a single real hand trap (about 0.115 going-second), and no Side Deck. Popularity and usage statistics were not used to lift the score, the deck was not scored by averaging card scores, and the usage data itself conflicts with this list (only 6 of 17 core cards present).

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary; Midrange secondary disclosed as a qualitative read, not blended numerically. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 46, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: engine_conflicts (-3); no_side_deck (-2); hand_trap_scarcity (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); 0.80*58.3 + 0.20*52 = 57.0, then -6 modifiers = 51

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.81 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.19 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Quick-Play chain engine with 14 Quick-Play Spells and high searcher density (30 searcher-text cards)
• Layered interaction: Mandate and Varuroon negations, Totem Bird and Number 75 effects, Jinzo, and seven control-steal effects
• High closing power from Fonix, Shiina, Krosea and Red-Eyes Black Dragon Exceed
• Full legal list (Legal, 52/15/0) with the three Limited cards at one copy each

Weaknesses

• Four engines in one 52-card main with 31.3% exact-name purity
• Only one true hand trap (Droll and Lock Bird), with about 0.115 access going second
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• No recorded combos, no tournament data, and no win-rate telemetry

Critical choke points

• Mystical Space Typhoon (3 copies): the central Quick-Play trigger for Krosea, Varuroon, Fonix, Eldam and Swen
• Radiant Typhoon Vision (3 copies): the second Quick-Play trigger and the MST-destruction recovery route
• Charmer link and fusion access (Charmers of the Grand Circle, Possessed Destiny - Wynn) for control-steal lines

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: main 52, extra 15, side 0; no violations; Mystical Space Typhoon, Radiant Typhoon Vision and Quick-Play counts from card data; Three Limited cards (Droll and Lock Bird, Radiant Typhoon Chant, S:P Little Knight) each run at one copy; Archetype core group: 14 copies, P(at least one in hand5) = 0.8069
• Inferred: Consistency estimates from hypergeometric probabilities; Engine conflict and brick rate from copy histogram and archetype spread; Interaction and closing reads from card-text excerpts; Going-second hand-trap access 0.115
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13), no tournament link
• Data gaps: No combos supplied (total_combos 0): 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, going-second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power provisional: no dated metagame sample Usage statistics for archetype Radiant Typhoon list 17 core cards, with only 6 present, and include Sky Striker and Ecclesia cards this deck does not run; the attribution may be mixed, so core-deviation reads are low-confidence No Side Deck (side_count 0): post-side plan cannot be evaluated
