Fur Hire Deck #758309 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 40/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fur Hire boss monsters (Rafale, Champion Fur Hire; K9-X Werewolf; Vallon/Artifact Durendal Extra Deck threats) closing through a Fur Hire board built by recursive Special Summons; K9 Xyz follow-up via K9-X Forced Release and K9-17 Ripper
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Fur Hire starters (Rex, Ride / Beat / Rex, Freight / Fossil Dig) into a Fur Hire Special Summon chain, with Ash Blossom and Droll as protection (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Kuriboh, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Nibiru) to disrupt the opponent's opening, then Fur Hire recursion to rebuild board (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recursion from GY via Rex, Freight, Filo, Donpa and Mayhem Fur Hire, plus searcher text (19 searcher-tagged cards) to refill hand (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no side deck (side count 0), so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck's score comes from the system: a 26-copy Fur Hire/K9 core gives about a 97% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and 19 searcher-tagged cards plus recursion from the GY (Rex, Filo, Donpa, Mayhem) keep the engine fed through a single disruption. Interaction is layered (9 hand traps, Ash Blossom, Kuriboh, Droll, Ghost Ogre) and gives reasonable going-second pressure. Closing power comes from high-ATK boss monsters (Rafale 2800, K9-X Werewolf 3300, Nibiru 3000) and the Extra Deck is used efficiently for a 15-card slot. The score is held down by the Illegal list: three cards are over their copy limit and two Forbidden cards (Called by the Grave, Triple Tactics Talent) are in the main deck, so the score is a theoretical, structural-only read. Popularity was not credited: archetype usage stats confirm the list is real, not that it is strong. No combo boards were recorded, so the ceiling and median are text-based inferences, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 58.5, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(58.5) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(55) = 57.8; banlist-exposure modifier -12 → 45.8; Illegal-list cap applied → 40 (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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

• Core archetype engine is almost always accessible in the opening hand (Inferred)
• Recursion and searcher text keep the engine going after disruption (Inferred)
• Layered hand-trap and negation suite gives strong going-second interaction (Inferred)
• Extra Deck boss threats give closing power (Verified stats)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three over-limit cards and two Forbidden cards in the main deck
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Low exact-archetype purity (40%) with many off-archetype and tech slots
• No recorded combos, so floor and median output are unverified

Critical choke points

• Fur Hire summon chain depends on a few starters (Rex, Beat, Fossil Dig) and the GY recursion loop
• Two Forbidden cards occupy main-deck slots that can never be legally played

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: 5 copy-limit violations, including 2 Forbidden cards (legality); Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 is legal for the OCG size rules; Card text and stats for all 45 distinct cards; Archetype usage stats: 13 of 19 core cards present (68.4%)
• Observed: No combo boards observed (0 parseable)
• Inferred: Hypergeometric opening-hand estimates for the core engine (0.9659 at least one core card); Going-first and going-second plan reads from card text; Consistency, resilience, and interaction scores
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format-fit scores (D13); Post-side performance (D12)
• 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 (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates) — signals are Inferred or Unknown No side deck in the export, so post-side scoring is provisional Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
