Radiant Typhoon Deck #774062 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Control, Tempo
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Quick-Play-triggered Radiant Typhoon board: Fonix, Varuroon and Eldam/Swen/Krosea summons into large WIND beaters and Link/Xyz follow-up (Inferred from card text); Extra Deck follow-up through Ritual Beast Ulti-Reirautari, Phantom Fortress Enterblathnir and The Dragon that Devours the Dogma (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Mystical Space Typhoon, Radiant Typhoon Vision or Krosea/Eldam summons through Quick-Play triggers, search a Radiant Typhoon monster, and keep Ash Blossom up for the first opposing search or summon (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and Varuroon negation to stop the opponent's first line, then recover through Radiant Typhoon searchers and Quick-Play recursion (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover from interaction via Radiant Typhoon Mandate, Ascendance and Manifestation recursion of Quick-Play Spells and GY Radiant Typhoon monsters (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated; the best-of-3 plan is absent (Provisional)

Why it scores here

The list is structurally coherent around the Radiant Typhoon engine: 26 archetype-core copies give about a 97% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred hypergeometric estimate), and 18 searcher-text cards give about 87%. Interaction is layered through three Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Varuroon and Totem Bird negations, which keeps the end board and going-second play above average. The score is not earned by popularity: the archetype usage stats and the deck's roster only confirm the list is real and accessible. Scoring is on the system, not an average of the individual card scores, and the lack of recorded boards keeps the combo ceiling and median at inferred values. The deck is illegal as built (three Ash Blossom against a limit of two), so the normal Final Contextual score is capped at a low theoretical value, and the empty side deck leaves best-of-3 adaptability unscored.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Control secondary (Structural weights only; no reweighting applied). Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: Structural 58 = 0.80*58 + 0.20*50 = 56.4 before modifiers; modifiers -12 gives 44.4; capped to 35 because legality is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only; Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.03 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype core accessibility is high (about 97% in opening hand of 5, Inferred)
• Layered interaction from three Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Varuroon and Totem Bird
• Recursion from Mandate, Ascendance and Manifestation supports recovery

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: three Ash Blossom against a Semi-Limited limit of two
• No side deck; no best-of-3 plan
• Heavy off-archetype density (45 of 55 main cards) with Greed and Mulcharmy filler

Critical choke points

• Quick-Play Mystical Space Typhoon copies are the shared trigger for many engine cards; losing access to them slows the whole line (Inferred)
• Ash Blossom copy count must be reduced to 2 before any normal score can apply

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies vs legal 2 (Semi-Limited); Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts within size rules; Card text for all main and extra cards resolved
• Observed: Usage stats: 21 archetype rows; 12 of 16 core cards present
• Inferred: Engine accessibility P(at least one core in hand of 5) = 0.966 (hypergeometric); Interaction density, recovery and going-second plan from card text; Matchup and strategy classification from composition
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and tournament reliability (no tournament link); Post-side plan (no side deck)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no side deck registered — post-side plan cannot be scored no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
