Fur Hire Deck #345263 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 15 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fur Hire board pressure: Rex, Rafale and Link/Xyz boards built from Fur Hire monsters, with Spright Link/Xyz lines as a secondary route.; Spright Elf / Gigantic Spright / Spright Sprind extension through Spright Jet, Spright Blue and Spright Carrot.
• Turn 1 (going first): Fossil Dig or Rex searches a Fur Hire/Dinosaur, then Rookie Fur Hire or Spright Starter brings a Level 2 starter into a Link/Xyz route. Hand traps are held for the opponent's first activation.
• Turn 2 (going second): Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence, Effect Veiler and Maxx C are used to strip the opponent's board or draw, then a Fur Hire monster rebuilds presence.
• Recovery: Rex and Beat, Bladesman Fur Hire recur from the GY, and Mayhem Fur Hire can revive a Fur Hire monster from the GY.
• After siding: Side Cosmic Cyclone, Forbidden Droplet, Click and Echo, Dyna or Nibiru as the matchup requires. Legal-copy correction is required before any post-side plan is meaningful.

Why it scores here

This Master Duel Fur Hire list has a real engine: the archetype core (18 copies) has an estimated 96% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, and Rex, Fossil Dig and Ash Blossom give it a searcher-driven start with a Spright second route. Its strongest structural feature is interaction, with 11 hand traps and 12 negation-text cards that can answer the opponent's first activation on either turn order. The score reflects the system, not the average of its cards: the deck has no recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inference and are scored low. Popularity and archetype usage stats confirm the list is a real build but did not add points. The list is Illegal in Master Duel, with two Forbidden cards and an over-limit Maxx C, so the score is capped low and this evaluation is theoretical/structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Stun ratio not applied, since Structural uses the single Midrange profile. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(53.7) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 51.96, then modifier -12 (banlist exposure) gives 40, then capped at 35 because the list is Illegal; theoretical/structural only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.04 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype core (18 copies) is almost always accessible (P=0.96 in opening 5)
• Eleven hand traps plus negation text provide layered interaction on both turn orders
• Searchers and recursion (Rex, Fossil Dig, Beat, Mayhem) support resource regrowth

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: two Forbidden cards and one over-limit Limited card
• Low exact-name purity (20%) across Fur Hire, Spright and Nimble sub-archetypes
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Forbidden Called by the Grave and Apollousa remove lines that the list depends on until they are replaced
• Hand-trap density costs main-deck slots that could go to engine starters

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status with four violations (Forbidden and Limited copy counts); Main 40, Extra 15, Side 15 are within Master Duel size rules; Archetype core copies and hypergeometric opening-hand probabilities from the resolved list
• Inferred: Engine accessibility 0.96 from the archetype core probability; Hand-trap density and going-second interaction from card text and copy counts; Structural score from the Midrange weight profile and dimension scores
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated sample); Format fit and side-deck adaptability (no tournament or post-side data)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent no win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null in the export
