forbidden Deck #774434 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Toolbox
• 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: Radiant Typhoon Link/Xyz/Synchro boards (Varuroon the Marine Eidolon, Fonix, Enterblathnir, Maple Maiden) built off Quick-Play Spell triggers and Mystical Space Typhoon recursion; Hand-trap and negate-driven board control (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird, Varuroon negate, Totem Bird) that protects the board while the Extra Deck pressure lands
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Radiant Typhoon starter with Quick-Play-activated Special Summons (Krosea, Meghala, Fonix) or a searcher (Vision, Ascendance, Eldam, Swen), then extend into a Link or Xyz board while holding Ash Blossom or Droll for the first interruption. Starter access is about 25% per 3-copy card in a 5-card hand (Inferred).
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to hold hand traps (9 in the Main Deck, about 68% to have at least one by the 6-card hand, Inferred) and answer the opponent's first board with Ash, Ghost Ogre, or Varuroon, then rebuild through Mystical Space Typhoon in the GY.
• Recovery: Recursion through Mystical Space Typhoon in the GY enables repeated Radiant Typhoon Special Summons, and Radiant Typhoon Mandate and Vision add draw and search after a broken turn. Recovery depends on MST staying in the GY and is not verified from recorded boards.
• After siding: Not assessable: the Side Deck is empty (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan at all.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Radiant Typhoon starter or searcher about 89% of the time across its 19 searcher-text cards, but any single 3-copy starter is in a 5-card opening hand only about 25% of the time, so the engine depends on several redundant starters rather than one key card (Inferred). Its interaction density is the strongest part of the system: 9 hand traps, 9 negate-text cards, and 14 removal-text cards give the deck a layered answer to the opponent's first board (Inferred semantic read). Conversion and median output could not be measured because no recorded boards exist, so the combo ceiling and floor scores are text-based estimates with low weight. Popularity did not earn points: Radiant Typhoon's usage stats show the archetype is real and accessible, and the score comes from consistency, interaction, and going-second resilience on the system, not from averaging card scores. The list is Illegal (3 copies of a Semi-Limited card), so it receives only a structural-only score capped at 30, and it has no Side Deck.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit cap (-16); Banlist exposure (-3); Unrecoverable choke point (-2). Final formula: Illegal deck: uncapped 0.80*53 + 0.20*45 + modifiers (-5) = 46, capped to 30 as a structural-only score because the list fails copy limits; Meta provisional (null)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• Searcher-text redundancy: 19 searcher-text cards make a starter in the opening hand about 89% of the time
• Layered interaction: 9 hand traps, 9 negates, and 14 removal-text cards cover multiple turns of disruption
• Extra Deck flexibility: 9 Link, 5 Xyz, and 1 Synchro options give several board routes

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run 3 times against a Semi-Limited limit of 2
• No Side Deck (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan
• No combo data, so conversion and floor claims cannot be measured
• Low exact-archetype purity (2.9%) leaves the engine spread across several sub-archetypes

Critical choke points

• Mystical Space Typhoon in the GY enables most Radiant Typhoon recursion lines
• A single Radiant Typhoon starter in hand is not guaranteed (about 25% per 3-copy card going first)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring: 3 copies run against Semi-Limited legal max of 2 (over copy limit); Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 are within the TCG size rules; Radiant Typhoon usage: 26 cards by archetype spread; core Ash Blossom 85.7% and Radiant Typhoon Vision 71.4% inclusion
• Inferred: Starter access probabilities (0.25 per 3-copy card, 0.89 searcher group) from hypergeometric draw estimates; Hand-trap and negate density as an interaction read from card text; Going-second strength from hand-trap group probability 0.68
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit, since no dated metagame sample exists; Post-side plan, since the Side Deck is empty
• 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 (going-first/second, matchup, brick, or starter rates) Side Deck is empty, so post-side behaviour cannot be assessed Super Starslayer TY-PHON's Level 12 material requirement cannot be verified from the evidence Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
