Radiant Typhoon Deck #774524 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Radiant Typhoon Extra Deck threats (Varuroon, Fonix, Totem Bird and Xyz/Link boards) built off the Quick-Play Spell and Mystical Space Typhoon engine; Link and Xyz boards (Hraesvelgr, Enterblathnir, TY-PHON, Zeus) are listed in the Extra Deck; their recorded boards are absent, so this is text-only inference
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Radiant Typhoon starter (Krosea, Vision, Ascendance, Manifestation, Chant) and use Mystical Space Typhoon to keep the engine running; go to the Extra Deck when a Quick-Play Spell or MST is in the GY. Estimated at least one core starter in hand ≈ 0.97 (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Evenly Matched and Varuroon (the Vibrant Vortex) as hand traps and negates to stop the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Radiant Typhoon searchers. Hand-trap presence in a 6-card hand ≈ 0.45 (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover through Radiant Typhoon searchers (Eldam, Swen, Vision, Ascendance) and Quick-Play recursion (Mandate, Hey Space Trunade); a Quick-Play Spell or MST in the GY enables several Special Summon routes (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: None: the Side Deck is empty, so no post-side plan exists in this list

Why it scores here

The deck's engine is reliable on paper: the archetype core (26 copies) gives a hypergeometric P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.97, and 19 searcher-text cards add redundancy. Interaction is the strongest part of the system, with 5 hand traps, 10 negation-text cards and 14 removal-text cards. Its weak points are archetype purity (only 38.6% exact-name copies, with Greed, Mulcharmy, Cyclone and Dominus filling the rest) and the lack of any recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inferences. The deck is also Illegal: Ash Blossom and Pot of Extravagance run 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2, so the score is capped for a theoretical, structural-only read. Popularity did not earn points (usage stats only confirm the archetype core), and the card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 54, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); empty_side_deck (-2); illegal_cap (-14). Final formula: Illegal cap: normal formula 0.80*Structural(57) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 54.6, minus 10 total modifiers = 44.6; capped at 30 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only). Meta Power provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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

• Archetype core is dense (26 copies) with a 0.97 chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand
• Strong interaction suite: 5 hand traps plus negation and removal text across the Main and Extra Deck
• Multiple Quick-Play and Special Summon routes give some resilience

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts for Ash Blossom and Pot of Extravagance
• Low archetype purity (38.6%) with Greed, Mulcharmy, Cyclone and Dominus filling the rest
• No Side Deck
• No recorded boards, so combo ceiling and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Quick-Play Spell / Mystical Space Typhoon access drives most Special Summon routes
• Copy-limit violations must be fixed before the list can be scored normally

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 sizes are within the TCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies vs legal 2 (Semi-Limited); Pot of Extravagance 3 copies vs legal 2 (Semi-Limited); Exact-name archetype purity 38.6%; Side Deck is empty
• Observed: Archetype usage stats: 12 of 18 core cards present (66.7%)
• Inferred: P(≥1 core card in 5-card hand) ≈ 0.97; Hand-trap presence in a 6-card hand ≈ 0.45; Interaction density is high from card text; Combo ceiling and median from card text only
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup and format fit (D13 = 50)
• 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 win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; going-first/second, matchup, brick and OTK rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Side Deck is empty, so post-side adaptability is unmeasured Deck title is null
