forbidden Deck #774578 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• 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 board (Fonix, Varuroon, Krosea, Swen, Eldam) built through repeated Quick-Play Spell activations and Mystical Space Typhoon recursion, closing with WIND beatdown and Link/Xyz boards; Forbidden Droplet and Forbidden Crown stripping opposing boards, followed by Fusion or Link pressure from the Extra Deck
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Quick-Play Spell or Radiant Typhoon searcher, use Mystical Space Typhoon or Radiant Typhoon Vision to build recursion, and stack hand-trap protection with Ash Blossom and Artifact Lancea
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Artifact Lancea and Ritual Beast/Radiant Typhoon Varuroon as negation or special-summon answers to the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Quick-Play Spells
• Recovery: Recover Mystical Space Typhoon and Radiant Typhoon monsters from the GY through Radiant Typhoon Mandate, Ascendance and Chant, then rebuild the field with searchers
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck (side_count 0), so no post-side plan can be assessed

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its engine is a Radiant Typhoon and Mystical Space Typhoon loop: 18 searcher-text cards and 17 Quick-Play or Spell-based pieces give a 0.87 chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand, and Mystical Space Typhoon recursion gives it real route redundancy after interruption (Inferred). Interaction is dense, with 6 hand traps, 16 negation-text cards and 16 removal-text cards, which earns the top end-board score. Combo conversion and floor are scored from text only because no recorded boards exist, so those two dimensions carry low confidence. The deck is Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Super Polymerization are each run 3 times against a limit of 2, which caps the Final score. Popularity earned no points; the archetype-core usage stats only confirm that the list is real and accessible.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Toolbox secondary for the Forbidden and Radiant Typhoon mix. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); Limited-card dependence (-4); illegal cap (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame, so 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*55 + 0.20*50 = 54; modifiers total -12 gives 42; Illegal cap applied (2 cards over copy limit) gives final 30, theoretical/structural-only

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 cards) gives a 0.87 chance of at least one searcher in the opening 5
• Mystical Space Typhoon recursion and multiple Quick-Play routes give redundant lines
• Dense interaction: 6 hand traps, 16 negation-text and 16 removal-text cards

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: two cards exceed their copy limits
• No combo evidence, so conversion and floor are text-only inferences
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Heavy reliance on the Radiant Typhoon subtheme (24 copies) for coherence

Critical choke points

• Mystical Space Typhoon in the GY is required for several Radiant Typhoon summons and recursion lines
• A single Limited or Semi-Limited staple copy exceeding its limit makes the list illegal and invalidates the whole score

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 56 and Extra 15 are within the TCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Super Polymerization are each over the copy limit (3 vs 2); Radiant Typhoon Chant and S:P Little Knight are Limited with 1 copy each (legal); Archetype spread: 24 Radiant Typhoon, 5 Forbidden, 28 generic
• Observed: Usage stats: Ash Blossom 82.8%, Mulcharmy Fuwalos 65.5%, Radiant Typhoon Vision 62.1%, Forbidden Droplet 55.2% inclusion
• Inferred: Starter and searcher probabilities from the hypergeometric estimates; Interaction density and recovery from card text; Midrange strategy classification from the composition and text
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup 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 match record absent no win-rate telemetry in YGOVN; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck; post-side plan cannot be evaluated
