Zoodiac Deck #773896 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 51/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Quick-Play chains (Mystical Space Typhoon plus Radiant Typhoon Quick-Play Spells) special-summon Radiant Typhoon monsters and Fonix / Varuroon / Link boards that close through 3000 ATK bodies and Link Summons; Zoodiac Xyz and Link boards (Broadbull, Ulti-Reirautari, Saryuja) as a second engine when the Radiant Typhoon line is blanked
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 Quick-Play or searcher (Chant, Vision, Ascendance, Manifestation) into Mystical Space Typhoon, then Radiant Typhoon Swen or Krosea from hand and Link into a Radiant Typhoon Link; the 4 hand traps and Dominus Purge protect the setup
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Forbidden Droplet and Dominus Purge to disrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild with a Radiant Typhoon Quick-Play and a Mystical Space Typhoon in GY
• Recovery: Searchers (13 text hits, 87.7% chance of at least one in an opening 5) and Mandate / Vision draw effects; Krosea and Ratpier recur from GY and banish
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; this is the largest structural gap in the list

Why it scores here

The score comes from the deck as one system: a Radiant Typhoon Quick-Play engine (19 Radiant Typhoon cards, three Mystical Space Typhoon, three Krosea, three Swen, and 13 searcher-text cards) that the probability tables suggest is usually live by turn 2 (P of at least one searcher in the opening 5 is about 0.88, P of at least one MST is about 0.34, both Inferred). Interaction is real but not overbuilt: four hand traps, three Dominus Purge and two Forbidden Droplet give a layered answer to the opponent's first board, which carries most of the endboard and going-second scores. Closing power comes from 3000-ATK bodies (Fonix, Varuroon and AA-ZEUS in the Extra) and Link boards. The deck loses points for having no combo records, no tournament record, and no side deck (D12 = 15), and for a split identity (archetype label Zoodiac, but only 18 percent exact-name purity, with 19 Radiant Typhoon and 3 Mulcharmy/Dominus cards). Popularity did not add points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo weights only; Midrange recorded as secondary context, not blended. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: No side deck (-3); Split engine identity (-2); Limited cards in-format (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.88 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Engine is reachable early: a 13-card searcher text group gives about 88 percent odds of at least one in an opening 5
• Layered interaction: four hand traps, Dominus Purge x3 and Forbidden Droplet x2
• Multiple independent starters (Krosea, Swen, Eldam, Meghala, Mandate) cover one disruption
• Legal in full: 40 main, 15 extra, copy limits respected

Weaknesses

• Zero side deck: no post-side plan in best-of-3
• Engine split between Radiant Typhoon and Zoodiac with only 18 percent exact-name purity
• No combo records, so the ceiling and median are text-only estimates
• Quick-Play sequencing and Link/Xyz decisions raise pilot difficulty

Critical choke points

• Three Mystical Space Typhoon are the single point for most Radiant Typhoon summons and Mystical Space Typhoon in GY conditions
• Three Radiant Typhoon Krosea and Swen rely on Quick-Play activations to summon; a hand with no Quick-Play is dead

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in master-duel: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; banlist copy limits respected; Three Limited cards at 1 copy each (Maxx C, Radiant Typhoon Vision, Zoodiac Broadbull); Zero side cards registered
• Observed: Usage statistics show Radiant Typhoon and Zoodiac core cards at 100 percent inclusion in the archetype sample
• Inferred: Opening-hand odds for searcher, MST and hand trap groups from hypergeometric estimates; Functional roles for Krosea, Swen, Mandate, Ash Blossom and Dominus Purge from card text; Going-first and going-second splits from card text and interaction density
• Provisional: Meta power and format fit (no dated metagame sample); Combo floor and median (no recorded boards)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and match record are absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first, going-second and matchup results are Unknown No side deck; post-side performance cannot be assessed Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
