Fur Hire Deck #411121 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 42 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fur Hire board of Link and XYZ monsters (Donner, Folgo, Rafale, Tornado Dragon) converting from the Dinosaur and Fur Hire searcher chain into high-ATK attackers; Dinosaur recursion and Special Summon chains (Babycerasaurus, Miscellaneousaurus, Souleating Oviraptor) into Overtex Qoatlus and Pankratops
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Rex or Oviraptor, search Fur Hire monsters or Fossil Dig, chain Fur Hire Special Summons from hand, then Link Summon Donner or Folgo
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Effect Veiler, D.D. Crow and Ghost Ogre to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild the Fur Hire line from the searcher chain
• Recovery: Recurse Fur Hire monsters from the GY with Mayhem Fur Hire, Donpa and Beat, and rebuild Links from hand and GY
• After siding: No sideboard is available in master-duel, so no post-side plan exists; the list must be legalised before any post-side reasoning applies

Why it scores here

The deck's structural read is driven by consistency and resilience on the system, not by averaging card scores. Its 16 archetype-core copies give about a 92% chance of at least one core card in the going-first opening hand, and 15 searcher-text cards give about a 91% chance of at least one searcher, so the engine usually starts. Two lines (Fur Hire searcher chains and Dinosaur recursion) give some redundancy after interruption. Interaction is layered across 7 hand traps and 23 removal-text cards, but there is no recorded combo data, so the ceiling and floor are text-only inference. Popularity is not credited: the archetype usage data only confirms that the list is a recognisable build. The deck is Illegal (two Forbidden cards: Called by the Grave x2 and Abyss Dweller x1), so the structural score of about 55 is capped to 20 for this theoretical read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, no secondary blend applied. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(55) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 53; banlist modifier -12 gives 41; capped to 20 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only read)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.08 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype core is dense (16 copies), so the engine opens often
• Searcher text is widespread (15 cards), giving redundant access to starters
• Layered hand traps and negations (7 and 6) cover the opponent's first board
• Link and XYZ closers (ATK 2400–3000) give real closing power if the Extra Deck lands

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Called by the Grave x2 and Abyss Dweller x1 are Forbidden
• Only 28% exact archetype purity; many off-archetype and tech slots add brick risk
• No combo data, so the ceiling and median are unmeasured
• No side deck in master-duel, so post-side adaptability is absent

Critical choke points

• Legality: the deck cannot be played until the 3 Forbidden copies are removed
• Fur Hire searcher chain: failure to reach the first Fur Hire monster stalls the engine
• Extra Deck Link access: Donner and Folgo need Fur Hire and Dinosaur monsters on the field

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: 2 Forbidden cards in the deck (Called by the Grave x2, Abyss Dweller x1); Main 42 (within 40–60), Extra 15 (within 0–15), Side 0; Archetype-core probability 0.9227 (P ≥1 in hand of 5); Archetype purity 28.1%
• Inferred: Starter access and redundancy from the hypergeometric numbers; Hand-trap and negation coverage from card text; Closing power from ATK and text reads
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13) need a dated metagame sample; Post-side plan (D12): no side deck in master-duel
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck in master-duel, so D12 has no post-side evidence
