Kuriboh Deck #46744 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Kashtira monster boards built through Kashtira searchers and Special Summon text (Kashtira Ogre, Kashtira Unicorn, Kashtira Shangri-Ira Xyz) (Inferred from card text); Extra-Deck Xyz pressure (Dark Anthelion Dragon, Mecha Phantom Beast Dracossack, Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon) (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Kashtira starter from hand (Kashtira Birth, Kashtira Unicorn, Kashtira Ogre) and search a second Kashtira piece; Forbidden and over-limit cards cannot be legally run (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Belle, Ghost Mourner, Mirror Force) to interrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild with a Kashtira starter (Inferred)
• Recovery: Kashtira Preparations and Kashtira Birth can Special Summon from banish/GY/hand; recovery depends on the Forbidden Kashtira cards that cannot be legally run (Inferred)
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck runs no side deck (0 cards), so no post-side plan exists in the list

Why it scores here

This list is illegal in TCG: it runs 16 Extra Deck cards (limit 15), five Forbidden cards at 2 to 3 copies, and over-limit Limited and Semi-Limited cards, so it is capped low and scored as a theoretical, structural-only read. Its core engine is Kashtira, but the 3-copy starter probabilities are only about 0.26 per card in a 5-card opening hand, and the 16 searcher-text cards give about 0.84 access to at least one searcher. The deck runs 11 hand traps and 14 negation-text cards, so it can interrupt the opponent's first board, which supports the going-second score. Popularity and archetype usage were not counted in the score: only 1 of 25 archetype-core cards is present, and no combos, guides or tournament link exist to show what the deck actually produces. No card scores were averaged; the deck is judged as a system, and the Forbidden cards and copy violations drive the cap.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Toolbox secondary, disclosed as an assumption from the mixed Kashtira/Kuriboh/Broken World/off-archetype composition. Structural ≈ 42, Going First ≈ 38, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); Engine conflicts (-4); Illegal cap (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional) = 0.80*42 + 0.20*30 - 12 = 27.4, then illegal cap applied to 25

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.26 · 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 searcher access: 16 searcher-text cards give about 0.84 chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card hand (Inferred)
• Broad interaction on paper: 11 hand traps, 14 negation-text cards and Mirror Force give going-second coverage (Inferred)
• Multiple Kashtira Xyz and Special Summon routes give some alternate lines if one is blocked (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: 16 Extra Deck cards and five Forbidden cards cannot be played in TCG
• Off-archetype: only 1 exact Kuriboh card; 69 of 70 archetype copies are off-archetype, and only 1 of 25 usage-core cards is present
• Low starter density: about 0.26 chance per 3-copy starter in a 5-card opening hand
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• No combos, guides or tournament data to confirm the deck's real output

Critical choke points

• Kashtira Fenrir and Kashtira Arise-Heart are Forbidden; removing them breaks the Kashtira Xyz route they support
• Extra Deck is over the 15-card limit, so one or more Extra cards must be cut before the list is playable

• Inferred: Starter P(≥1 in 5-card hand) ≈ 0.26 per 3-copy card; Searcher-text P(≥1) ≈ 0.84; Hand-trap P(≥1 going second) ≈ 0.76; Midrange primary profile with Toolbox secondary; Kashtira board win-condition reading from card text
• Provisional: Meta power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13)
• 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: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional: no dated metagame sample No side deck in the list, so side-deck dimension has no real evidence
