Fur Hire Deck #458111 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Tempo, Toolbox
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fur Hire board of 2000-2800 ATK monsters (Dyna, Rafale, Shuraig, Underworld Goddess) closing through Link and Fur Hire self-summon chains; Link monsters (Donner, Folgo, Tri-Brigade Shuraig) recurring Fur Hire monsters from the GY
• Turn 1 (going first): Main Phase self-summon chains from Seal, Recon, Filo, Beat or Donpa into a Link Summon, with Rookie Fur Hire or Mayhem Fur Hire for extra Fur Hire bodies; hand traps held back to protect the first board
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird) answer the opponent's first board, then Fur Hire monsters rebuild
• Recovery: Fur Hire monsters in the GY are re-Summoned via Mayhem Fur Hire, Training Fur Hire, and Rex, Freight Fur Hire; Fandora and Reinforcement of the Army refill the hand
• After siding: Not assessable: the submitted list has no Side Deck (0 cards), so no post-side plan exists in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens its Fur Hire engine: 38 exact-name Fur Hire copies and about 72% odds of at least one of 12 searcher-text cards in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), so the early board is usually live. Its strongest structural feature is interaction: 18 hand traps and 14 negation-text cards give it strong going-second answers to the opponent's first board (Inferred from card text). Conversion and median output are scored from card text alone because no recorded boards exist, which keeps the combo dimensions near the middle. The list is capped low because it is Illegal: it runs Forbidden Gozen Match and There Can Be Only One, three Ash Blossom copies against a limit of two, and three Droll & Lock Bird against a limit of one. The score does not reflect the archetype's popularity, which earned no points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck result.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary (approx. 80%), Toolbox secondary (approx. 20%). Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); No side deck (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*53 + 0.20*45 - 10 = 41.6; Illegal-list cap applied to 35 (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.72 · 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 hand-trap suite (18) gives strong going-second interaction
• Compact Fur Hire self-summon engine with 38 exact-name copies
• Several high-ATK bodies (2500-3000) for closing

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: copy-limit and Forbidden violations must be fixed before it can be played
• No side deck
• Off-archetype dilution (23 generic plus 3 Artifact, 4 Tri-Brigade, 1 Fire Fist)
• Tech density raises brick risk

Critical choke points

• Forbidden cards Gozen Match and There Can Be Only One occupy two Main slots that do no engine work
• Fur Hire engine starts depend on a few self-summon bodies, so losing them to hand traps or removal stalls the board

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal with four copy-limit or Forbidden violations; Main 55 and Extra 14 are within size rules; Side is 0; Archetype purity 55.1% exact-name, 38 Fur Hire copies; Hand-trap count 18, negation-text 14, removal-text 17
• Inferred: Engine opening probabilities (0.25 per 3-copy card, 0.72 searcher group); Going-second hand-trap availability (0.92); Interaction quality and brick risk from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample); Tournament reliability (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists for going-first/second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null No Side Deck is recorded
