Fur Hire Deck #761196 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fur Hire monster chain (Rex, Beat, Dyna, Fandora, Rafale) building a Link/Xyz board, then converting with K9 and Fur Hire Extra Deck monsters such as K9-X Werewolf, K9-66X Jacks and Donner.; K9 Xyz chain via K9-X Forced Release and K9-17 Ripper, with Mulcharmy draw-punishing as a grind option.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Fur Hire starter (Rex, Beat, Filo, Donpa) and chain Fur Hire summons from hand into a Link or Xyz, using Fandora and Rafale for follow-up; hold Ash and Veiler for the opponent's first interruption.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash, Veiler, Ghost Belle and Ghost Ogre (hand traps, 14 copies in total) to break the opponent's first board, then summon through with Fur Hire monsters and Extra Deck Link/Xyz follow-up.
• Recovery: Recycle Fur Hire monsters from the GY with Mayhem, Filo and Rookie, and rebuild through Rex Ride and Keel from the Extra Deck.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan. The deck is not legal for best-of-3 play as submitted.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Fur Hire starter: the archetype core group has about a 95.5% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, and searchers add about 85% to find an engine piece. Its interaction is layered, with 14 hand traps and 11 negation-text cards covering both the first board and the summon chain. Conversion is plausible but unmeasured, since no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are scored from card text only and labelled Inferred. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype's standard core is present at 13 of 19 usage rows, and the deck is 36.6% exact-name Fur Hire, with 45 off-archetype copies that dilute the engine. The score was derived from the deck as a system, not by averaging card scores. Because the list breaks the OCG copy limits and runs two Forbidden cards, the structural score is treated as theoretical and capped at 35.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: Uncapped: 0.80*57 + 0.20*48 = 55.2; minus 12 for banlist and copy-limit exposure = 43.2; Illegal cap applied, final = 35 (theoretical/structural-only). Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.04 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Core engine accessibility ≈ 96% for at least one archetype card in an opening hand
• Layered interaction: 14 hand traps and 11 negation-text cards
• Wide Extra Deck coverage across Link and Xyz with high-ATK end-boards

Weaknesses

• Illegal under OCG copy limits and Forbidden list
• Low archetype purity (36.6% exact name) with 45 off-archetype copies
• No side deck registered
• No recorded combos, so floor and median are inferred from text only

Critical choke points

• Dependence on Fur Hire monsters in hand for Rex Ride and Beat/Filo chains
• Single Forbidden-dependent interaction (Called by the Grave) is illegal and cannot be replaced in this format

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal with five copy-limit and Forbidden violations; Card stats and text excerpts from the resolved card list; Archetype core group P(>=1 in 5) = 0.9555 from the hypergeometric table; Usage: 13 of 19 core cards present (68.4%)
• Inferred: Engine accessibility and brick estimates (D1, D2); Ceiling and median combo output from text only (D3, D4); Interaction density and resilience read (D5, D7, D8); Pilotability and recovery (D6, D14)
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (D13) with no dated metagame sample
• 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 win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown No side deck registered (side_count 0): post-side performance cannot be evaluated Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
