Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 54/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Tempo
• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Quick-Play Spell activations (Mystical Space Typhoon, Radiant Typhoon Chant/Vision/Ascendance, Forbidden Crown/Droplet, The Fallen & The Virtuous) enable hand Special Summons of Radiant Typhoon Krosea, Swen, Eldam, Meghala, Fonix and Varuroon, which then pressure the board with 3000-ATK or 3000-DEF bodies and Extra Deck Link/Xyz follow-ups.; Zoodiac Xyz follow-ups (Tigermortar, Chakanine, Drident, Boarbow, Broadbull) using Zoodiac Ratpier and Ramram as Level 4 material, plus Radiant Typhoon Varuroon, the Marine Eidolon as a Link 2 engine piece.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Quick-Play Spell (MST or Chant/Vision) to Special Summon a Radiant Typhoon monster from hand, search or recycle MST, and convert the resulting board into a Link or Xyz summon while holding Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre for the first interruption.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Maxx C, Ghost Mourner and Forbidden Droplet/Crown to stop the opponent's opening line, then Quick-Play into hand summons to rebuild the board.
• Recovery: Recursion through Radiant Typhoon Chant, Vision and Ascendance (GY Quick-Play recovery via Radiant Typhoon Mandate, which shuffles QP Spells back and draws 1), with Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Maxx C for card advantage.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan; the deck can only rely on its Main Deck for games two and three.

Why it scores here

The deck's power comes from the Radiant Typhoon system as a whole: 13 Quick-Play Spells enable hand Special Summons, and hypergeometric odds give roughly 88% (5-card hand) for at least one Quick-Play Spell and roughly 74% for at least one of the nine hand-summon bodies (Inferred). Interaction density is high (six hand traps, Forbidden Crown, Forbidden Droplet, Mandate, Varuroon negation text), and recursion via Chant, Vision, Ascendance and Mandate supports a grind. Scoring is not driven by Zoodiac's popularity or by averaging card scores; the score reflects consistency and interaction on the system. It is held back by a 15-card Extra Deck spread across seven unrelated archetypes, with several cards whose text requirements (Fallen of Albaz for Albion and Ecclesia) are not met by the list, and by a zero-card Side Deck with no post-side plan. No combos, guides, tournament data or dated meta were supplied, so Meta Power stays provisional and Median and Ceiling are text-only inferences.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Toolbox secondary; Meta-neutral structural (D13 weight 5 kept, Meta provisional). Structural ≈ 58.6, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: Engine conflict (-3); Banlist exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (-4); Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.74 · 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 Quick-Play engine (13 QP Spells) enables multiple hand Special Summons
• Six hand traps plus Forbidden Crown and Droplet give layered interaction
• 14 searchers and recursion through Chant, Vision, Ascendance and Mandate reduce brick risk
• Several 3000-ATK or 3000-DEF closers

Weaknesses

• Albion the Branded Dragon and Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon need Fallen of Albaz, which is absent from the list
• No Side Deck (side_count 0): no post-side plan
• Extra Deck spread across seven unrelated archetypes; exact Zoodiac purity 14.5%
• Single-copy Limited cards (Maxx C, Radiant Typhoon Vision, Zoodiac Broadbull) carry banlist exposure
• No combo, guide or tournament evidence; Median and Ceiling are inferred

Critical choke points

• At least one Quick-Play Spell (13 copies) must resolve to unlock the hand summons
• Mystical Space Typhoon in the GY enables Eldam, Swen and Varuroon's negation text
• Fallen of Albaz is not in the list, so Albion's and Ecclesia's effects cannot be assembled

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal under master-duel BanMasterDuel: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; all Limited and Semi-Limited copy counts within legal limits; Card texts and stats from the resolved card list; Composition counts (type, attribute, copy histogram, role tags)
• Inferred: Radiant Typhoon engine consistency from hypergeometric starter odds; Interaction density and board-breaking from card-text reads; Albion and Ecclesia are not summonable without Fallen of Albaz; Going-second hand-trap coverage
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample); Median and ceiling output (no recorded boards)
• 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 exists in YGOVN; going-first/second and matchup rates unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage_statistics marks Extra Deck cards (Zoodiac Chakanine, Drident, Broadbull, Boarbow; Varuroon Marine Eidolon; Ritual Beast Ulti-Reirautari; Albion; M-X-Saber Invoker; Number F0 x2) as not in this deck, which contradicts the card list where they are present in the Extra Deck; core_present_pct (60%) is therefore unreliable
