Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Stun
• 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: Boss monsters from the Extra Deck and main deck: Radiant Typhoon Fonix (3000 ATK), Adamancipator Risen - Dragite (3000 ATK), Super Starslayer TY-PHON (2900 ATK), Shiina (2900 ATK) and Phantom Fortress Enterblathnir (2900 ATK), reached through Quick-Play Spell chains (Inferred from card text).; Radiant Typhoon recursion through Mystical Space Typhoon in the GY, feeding Radiant Typhoon Varuroon and Link/Xyz follow-ups (Inferred from card text).
• Turn 1 (going first): Search with Radiant Typhoon Swen, Eldam or Radiant Typhoon Vision, set up Mystical Space Typhoon and Quick-Play Spells, then extend into a Link or Xyz boss (Inferred; no recorded boards).
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Droll & Lock Bird against the opponent's first monster or search effect, then use Radiant Typhoon Varuroon or Forbidden Crown to answer their board (Inferred).
• Recovery: Mystical Space Typhoon and Radiant Typhoon Krosea / Meghala special-summon from hand when a Quick-Play Spell is activated, re-setting the chain from the GY (Inferred from card text).
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan. The deck cannot adapt between games in its current list.

Why it scores here

The score comes from the system, not from averaging card scores or from popularity. The list is Illegal (3 copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a limit of 2), so it receives a structural-only read capped low, and it is not a normal Final Contextual score. Its accessible engine is the Radiant Typhoon / Mystical Space Typhoon shell: the 12-copy archetype core has about 72% chance of at least one card in a 5-card opening hand, and 19 searcher-text cards give about 89% (Inferred). Interaction is dense (7 hand traps, 15 negation-text cards) and gives it a reasonable end-board and going-second answer, but the 2 Red-Eyes Black Dragon Exceed in the Extra Deck have no Red-Eyes Black Dragon base in the list, and no side deck is registered. No recorded combos, guides, tournament link or win-rate telemetry exist, so median and ceiling output are text-only. Meta Power stays null.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 42.75, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Illegal copy limit (-8); No side deck (-2); Banlist exposure (-1). Final formula: Illegal list: theoretical/structural-only. 0.80*Structural(42.75) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) = 41.2, then modifiers -11 = 30.2, rounded to 30. Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.89 · 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: 7 hand traps and 15 negation-text cards, with Solemn Accusation and Varuroon as backrow/Extra answers (Inferred)
• High searcher density: 19 searcher-text cards give about 89% chance of at least one in a 5-card hand (Inferred)
• Extra Deck boss power: 2900-3400 ATK Link/Xyz/Fusion/Synchro options (Verified stats)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom at 3 copies over the Semi-Limited limit of 2 (Verified)
• Low archetype purity: 5.7% exact-name purity; cards from Greed, Magician, Mulcharmy, Solemn and Charmer dilute the engine (Verified composition)
• Red-Eyes Black Dragon Exceed x2 needs a Red-Eyes Black Dragon base that is not in the list (Inferred from card text)
• No side deck and no post-side plan (Verified absence)

Critical choke points

• Mystical Space Typhoon in the GY as the central recursion and search enabler: many Radiant Typhoon effects require it (Inferred from card text)
• Quick-Play Spell timing: most special summons need a Quick-Play Spell activation, so a single missed window stalls the turn (Inferred)
• Only 2 legal copies of Ash Blossom after the fix: the list still needs its hand-trap count reduced by one (Verified)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal, Ash Blossom 3 copies vs limit 2 (Semi-Limited); Main 55 (40-60), Extra 15 (0-15), Side 0 (0-15); Exact-name archetype purity 5.7%; Extra Deck breakdown: 7 Link, 4 Xyz, 2 Synchro, 2 Fusion
• Inferred: Consistency probabilities from hypergeometric draws (archetype core 0.72, searcher 0.89, hand trap 0.58 going second); Red-Eyes Black Dragon Exceed lacks its Fusion base in the list; Radiant Typhoon engine depends on MST in GY and Quick-Play timing
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample; D13 matchup and format fit: no tournament data
• 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 No side deck registered: post-side plan cannot be evaluated Red-Eyes Black Dragon base card not present in the list; Exceed copies may be unsummonable Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
