Fur Hire Deck #217560 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 36/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Control
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fur Hire and Runick board-building through Extra Deck Link and Fusion monsters (Donner, Folgo, Underworld Goddess) backed by Runick skip-Battle-Phase spells; Spright Link and XYZ pressure (Spright Elf, Gigantic Spright) once the board is stable
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Rex or Ash Blossom plus a searcher spell, use Fur Hire searchers to reach a Link or Fusion, then remove a single blocker with a Runick spell
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Maxx "C" and Runick negation/removal spells to answer the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through Fur Hire and Runick recursion
• Recovery: Runick Fountain and Runick Freezing Curses recycle Quick-Play Runick spells from the GY; Fur Hire monsters can be recovered from the GY by Rookie Fur Hire, Mayhem Fur Hire and Beat/Donpa
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated; the Side Deck is empty

Why it scores here

The deck is scored on the system, not by averaging its cards. Its searcher density (13 searcher-text cards, about 88% chance of at least one in an opening 5) gives it a reasonably reliable way to reach a live Extra Deck engine. Its hand traps and Runick negation/removal spells (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Spright Red/Carrot, Runick Freezing Curses) give it real interaction on both turns, and the 6-card going-second hand-trap estimate (about 65%) supports a going-second plan. Output is weakened by the lack of recorded boards, so the ceiling and median can only be inferred from text, and by the three-archetype spread (Runick 19, Fur Hire 12, Spright 9; exact-name purity 21.8%) that makes the engine less coherent. The deck is illegal as submitted (Maxx C at 3 copies against a limit of 1), so the score is capped and labelled theoretical; popularity and archetype usage stats were not credited, and no side deck is present to support a post-side plan.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Control. Structural ≈ 50.5, Going First ≈ 46, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); Illegal deck: 0.8*50.5 + 0.2*40 = 48.4, then -12 banlist modifier = 36.4, shown as 36 with theoretical-only label

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.88 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.12 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense searcher and archetype core (13 copies) gives a high chance of a functional opening hand
• Six hand traps plus Runick negation and removal spells provide interaction on both turns
• Extra Deck of 15 uses the slots across Link, Fusion and XYZ options

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: Maxx C at 3 copies against a limit of 1
• Three sub-archetypes (Runick, Fur Hire, Spright) lower engine coherence (exact-name purity 21.8%)
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan and no adaptability credit
• No recorded combos, so the ceiling and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Runick skip-Battle-Phase spells restrict attacks on the turn they are used, which limits closing power
• Single-copy Runick Destruction/Fountain and Limited-status cards are one-card dependencies

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts within Master Duel size rules; Maxx C copy violation (3 vs limit 1); 13-copy searcher/archetype group count and 0.8773 opening-hand estimate; Exact-name purity 21.8% and archetype spread
• Inferred: Consistency and brick estimates from hypergeometric draw model; Hand-trap and negation coverage read from card text; Going-first and going-second splits from card text and draw odds; Engine coherence from archetype spread
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated meta sample or tournament link); Side-deck adaptability (no Side Deck registered)
• 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 exists in YGOVN; going-first/second and matchup rates are Inferred or unknown Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck registered; post-side plan cannot be evaluated Deck title is null in the export
