Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±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 and WIND boss beats (Fonix 3000 ATK, Shiina 2900 ATK, Super Starslayer TY-PHON 2900 ATK, Phantom Fortress Enterblathnir 2900 ATK, Hraesvelgr 2400 ATK) converted from a stable board (Inferred from card text; no combo data); Mulcharmy draw-engine card advantage and Varuroon Vibrant negation/removal grind (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Mystical Space Typhoon, Radiant Typhoon Vision or a Radiant Typhoon searcher; Special Summon Eldam or Swen when Mystical Space Typhoon is in the GY or the opponent controls no Spell/Trap, and keep Ash Blossom, Evenly Matched, Solemn Judgment and Dominus Purge up as interaction (Inferred from text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (12 in the Main Deck, about 79% to have one in a 6-card hand) to negate the opponent's first search, summon or Spell/Trap, then rebuild through Radiant Typhoon searchers and Link/Xyz boss summons (Inferred)
• Recovery: Radiant Typhoon Chant, Radiant Typhoon Ascendance, Radiant Typhoon Mandate and Radiant Typhoon Vision recover Mystical Space Typhoon, a Radiant Typhoon monster or a Quick-Play Spell from the Deck or GY; Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw on an empty board (Inferred)
• After siding: None: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan to score

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its card scores. Its opener is mostly searchers and interaction: Mystical Space Typhoon has only about a 25% chance to appear in a 5-card opening hand, and the 21 Radiant Typhoon cards (about 25% of the list is the core archetype) reach their summon conditions only once Mystical Space Typhoon is in the GY, which makes the engine fragile on T1. Its strongest component is interaction density (Ash Blossom, three Solemn cards, Evenly Matched, Dominus Purge, Ghost Ogre, Droll and Nibiru), with about 79% odds of a hand trap going second. Its boss suite gives real closing power, but no combo data exists, so the ceiling and median are text-only inferences. The deck is illegal (three copies of Ash Blossom against a limit of two) and has no Side Deck, so the score is capped at 35 and labelled structural-only. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points: the exact archetype name covers only 2.9% of the Main Deck.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Stun-flavoured interaction; weights taken from the Midrange row (no blend applied). Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*52 + 0.20*42 = 50; modifiers total -12 gives 38; the Illegal legality cap (rubric Step 2) sets the final score at 35

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.78 · 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 interaction suite: three Solemn cards, Ash Blossom, Evenly Matched, Dominus Purge, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird and Varuroon negation text
• Several independent searchers (14) and recursion through Radiant Typhoon Chant, Ascendance, Mandate and Vision
• Diverse closing bosses in the Extra Deck: Fonix, Shiina, Super Starslayer TY-PHON, Enterblathnir, Hraesvelgr

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring run 3 copies against a limit of 2
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation for best-of-3
• Mystical Space Typhoon is the key enabler but only about 25% to be in a 5-card opening hand
• Exact-archetype purity 2.9%; many off-archetype copies make the engine diffuse
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• Mystical Space Typhoon: the summon conditions for Eldam, Swen, Krosea and Meghala depend on it being in the GY
• Hand-trap density with no floodgate means the deck relies on answering the opponent rather than forcing a board
• Extra Deck link and Xyz summons need enough board materials; a stripped board removes the boss

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies, legal limit 2; Main Deck 55 and Extra Deck 15 within size rules; no Side Deck; Card text and stats for all 40+ distinct cards (evidence pack); Radiant Typhoon archetype count 21 across Main and Extra Deck
• Inferred: Draw odds: MST 0.25, core 0.65, searcher 0.78, hand trap going second 0.79; Engine and interaction reads from card text; Going-first and going-second power components
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup fit (D13 neutral)
• 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 for going-first/second, matchup, brick or starter rates Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck is illegal and has no Side Deck, so no post-side evidence exists
