Kuriboh Deck #53339 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 53 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 8 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Kashtira Extra Deck monsters (Shangri-Ira xyz engine into Vicious Astraloud and Kashtira beaters) if the list were legal; the forbidden Arise-Heart and Diablosis are the intended boss cards and cannot be run as built; Scareclaw link beaters (Tri-Heart, Light-Heart) and Underworld Goddess of the Closed World
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Kashtira monster or spell with Pressured Planet Wraitsoth / Kashtira Akstra / Kashtira Ogre, Normal Summon, bridge into Kashtira Shangri-Ira; Ash Blossom and Nibiru are held up as interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Nibiru, Torrential Tribute, A Shattered Colorless Realm and Astral Kuriboh as hand interaction; go to Kashtira Shangri-Ira or Vicious Astraloud once the opponent commits to a board
• Recovery: Kashtira Preparations and Kashtira Birth recur Kashtira monsters from banish or GY; Kashtira Big Bang returns a material on banish; Scareclaw Defanging protects Scareclaw links
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan to evaluate

Why it scores here

The list cannot be played as submitted: it runs three Forbidden cards, several Limited and Semi-Limited cards over their copy limits, and 17 Extra Deck cards against a maximum of 15, so the score is a structural read capped low and not a normal final score. Structurally the Kashtira shell has real access: 18 searcher-text cards give about an 0.89 chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and six hand traps plus Torrential Tribute and A Shattered Colorless Realm supply layered interaction. Recovery through Kashtira Preparations, Kashtira Akstra and Kashtira Big Bang adds grind. Against that, the deck has no combo boards or guides to measure floor or ceiling, no side deck, and an archetype label of Kuriboh that matches only 3 of 53 main cards, while 28 cards are Kashtira and 67 are off-archetype. Popularity earned no points (only 2 of 25 usage-core cards are present), and no score was derived by averaging individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 46, Going Second ≈ 44, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); archetype dilution and engine conflict (-4). Final formula: Structural = sum(D x Midrange weight)/100 = 50.2; TR = mean(D1,D2,D5,D6,D12,D14) ≈ 42; uncapped 0.80*50 + 0.20*42 - 10 (modifiers) ≈ 38; Illegal cap applied, so Final = 30 (theoretical/structural-only); Meta Provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.89 · 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 suite (18 cards) gives high access to the engine
• Layered interaction: six hand traps, Torrential Tribute, Shattered Colorless Realm, Scareclaw Defanging, Kashtira Overlap
• Recursion via Kashtira Preparations, Kashtira Birth, Kashtira Akstra and Kashtira Big Bang

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Forbidden and over-limit copies
• Extra Deck exceeds the 15-card maximum
• No side deck and no post-side plan
• Archetype label does not match the list; no coherent single engine

Critical choke points

• Kashtira Shangri-Ira is the only Extra Deck engine piece that reaches the boss cards; its loss strands the Astraloud line
• Any single Forbidden card removed leaves the Extra Deck unbalanced, so the list must be rebuilt rather than trimmed
