Fur Hire Deck #752000 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 54/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fur Hire summon chains (Rex, Beat, Seal, Recon, Filo, Donpa) into Link and Xyz boards, closed by Rafale, Rex Ride, Bystial Baldrake or Sky Striker Ace - Azalea Temperance; Off-archetype Spright and generic Link/Xyz bridges that extend a board through the Extra Deck
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher-driven summon chain from Rex, Freight or Beat, Bladesman, extend with Donpa or Recon, and hold Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler or Infinite Impermanence for the opponent's first interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand and 9 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Skull Meister, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru) to strip the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Fur Hire recursion
• Recovery: Fur Hire monsters in the graveyard are returned via Mayhem, Filo and Seal, and Fandora and Whirlwind reload the field from the Deck
• After siding: No side deck is registered in the export, so no post-side plan can be evaluated (Provisional)

Why it scores here

The deck opens reliably enough because 15 searcher-text cards give about 92% odds of at least one searcher in a 5-card hand, and the 11-copy Fur Hire core gives about 82% odds of at least one core card, though single-copy starters such as Wiz and Raigeki sit near 12.5%. It converts through Fur Hire summon chains into Link and Xyz boards, and its nine hand traps plus Raigeki, Furtive Techniques and Cosmic Cyclone give it real interaction depth, which is why the going-second plan scores better than the going-first plan. Its weaknesses are a low exact-name archetype purity of about 42 percent, 32 off-archetype main deck copies, no side deck, and no recorded combos, so the combo dimensions rest on text inference only. The score comes from consistency, interaction and recovery on the system, not from Fur Hire being a popular archetype, and not from averaging the individual card scores. Meta Power stays provisional because no dated metagame sample was supplied.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange profile used unblended; Stun traits (hand traps, end-board interaction) are reflected in the narrative and modifiers only. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: Multi-archetype dilution (-3); No side deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional): 0.80*59.75 + 0.20*55 = 58.8, then modifiers -5 = 53.8, rounded to 54

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Searcher density (15 cards) gives about 92% odds of a searcher in the opening hand
• Nine hand traps and two Raigeki-style removal cards give layered interaction
• Recursion from the graveyard (Mayhem, Filo, Seal) supports recovery across turns
• Legal in Master Duel with the single Limited card run at its legal count of 1

Weaknesses

• Exact-name archetype purity is 41.8%, with 32 off-archetype copies diluting the engine
• No side deck registered, so best-of-3 adaptation is unevaluated
• No recorded combos, so ceiling and median are text-only inferences
• Single-copy starters such as Wiz and Raigeki are about 12.5% to appear in an opening hand of 5

Critical choke points

• Rex, Freight Fur Hire (3 copies) is the main summoner, with about 34% odds of appearing in the opening hand of 5
• Fur Hire summon chains depend on monsters already in hand, so a hand without a summoner stalls

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40 and Extra 15 are within master-duel size rules; Sky Striker Mecha - Hornet Drones is Limited with 1 legal copy and 1 run; Searcher-text group has 15 copies and archetype core group has 11 copies; Exact-name purity 41.8% and 32 off-archetype copies
• Inferred: Starter and hand-trap probabilities (hypergeometric); Interaction and recovery quality from card text; Going-second advantage from hand traps in a six-card hand
• Provisional: Meta Power; Format fit and matchup coverage; Side-deck adaptability
• 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 are absent No side deck in the export, so post-side plan cannot be scored Usage-statistics flags conflict with the deck list: Donner, Keel, Spright Elf, Folgo and Number 29 are in the Extra Deck but marked in this deck false, so core-presence (28%) is likely undercounted No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
