forbidden Deck #774530 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Radiant Typhoon engine converting Quick-Play Spells and Mystical Space Typhoon into board presence, closing with Fonix, Shiina, Varuroon and link boss monsters (Inferred from card text); Forbidden card protection and negation backed by Super Polymerization and Forbidden Droplet (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Radiant Typhoon and Forbidden starters, use Mystical Space Typhoon to clear backrow, and extend through Radiant Typhoon searchers (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Artifact Lancea, Great Gallant Bandit) to interrupt the opponent, then rebuild through Radiant Typhoon Special Summons (Inferred)
• Recovery: Radiant Typhoon monsters and spells with Mystical Space Typhoon in the GY recur through their GY effects (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck (0 cards), so no post-side plan exists in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a connected Midrange system, not as an average of its card scores. Its strongest feature is access to the Radiant Typhoon engine: searcher text is present on 18 Main Deck copies, giving about an 87% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred). Its interaction suite (6 hand traps, Forbidden negation and Mystical Space Typhoon) gives it real end-board interaction (Inferred from text). Against that, the list is illegal: 3 copies each of Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization exceed their Semi-Limited limit of 2, so the score is capped and labelled structural-only. The deck also has no Side Deck, no combo recordings and no tournament record, so its floor, median and post-side strength cannot be measured. Archetype popularity earned no points, and the 7% exact-name purity was not treated as a weakness on its own.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10); no side deck (-2). Final formula: Illegal list: no normal Final Contextual score. Nominal 0.80*Structural(53) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 50.4 with context modifiers of -12 yields 38; capped to 35 and labelled theoretical/structural-only per the Illegal rule. Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.87 · 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 density: 18 searcher-text cards give about 87% at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred)
• Interaction suite: 6 hand traps plus Forbidden negation and removal text (Inferred from text)
• Closing bodies: Fonix 3000 ATK, Shiina 2900 ATK, Hraesvelgr 2400 link (Verified stats)

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization are over the Semi-Limited limit (Verified)
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation (Verified)
• Low exact-archetype purity (7%) with 66 off-archetype copies (Verified)
• No combo recordings or tournament data to measure floor or median output (Verified gap)

Critical choke points

• Mystical Space Typhoon access, which gates several Radiant Typhoon lines (Inferred)
• Hand-trap dependence on going second (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 3 copies each of Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization vs legal limit 2; Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts; Card stats and archetype spread from the evidence
• Inferred: Starter access (~0.87 searcher in hand of 5); Interaction density from hand-trap and negation text; Going-second hand-trap value
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent no win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rate Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side Deck is empty, so post-side performance is unmeasurable
