Kuriboh Deck #763549 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro and Link boards from Black Chaos, Chaos Angel, The Crimson King or Red Dragon Archfiend, backed by Mulcharmy card advantage and hand-trap protection (Inferred; no recorded boards); Ritual boards through Light and Darkness Ritual into Black Luster Soldier or Magician of Dark Chaos - Black Chaos (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Search with Ragged Records of Rites, Mind Shuffle or Light and Darkness Ritual, then hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre) and play through the first interruption. Inferred from card text
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps and Solemn Warning, Solemn Accusation or Great Gallant Bandit to answer the opponent's turn-1 board, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draw and Chaos Archfiend or Black Chaos. Inferred
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Purulia and Fuwalos draw when the board is empty, and Skull Archfiend of Chaos and Ragged Records recur from the GY. Inferred from card text
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its strongest part is interaction: seven hand traps, roughly ten negation texts and about 27 removal texts give it several answers to most early plays, which drives the D5, D7 and D8 scores. Its engine is diffuse. The 14 searcher-text cards make a searcher likely in the opening five (about 0.77), but the Mulcharmy core is only about 0.54 likely to be present, so the starter is accessible but not dependable. No recorded boards exist, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inferences and are scored low. Popularity did not earn points: the Mulcharmy core is a usage signal that shows the list is real, not that it is strong. The deck is Illegal because it runs one copy of the Forbidden Albion the Branded Dragon, and it has no Side Deck. Both facts cap the score, so the 25 is a theoretical structural read only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (0); no_side_deck (0). Final formula: Illegal cap: uncapped 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 50, capped to 25 because the deck is Illegal (Forbidden Albion); theoretical/structural-only. Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.77 · 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 interaction: 7 hand traps, about 10 negation texts and 27 removal texts
• Going-second answers: Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird and Solemn cards
• Searcher density: 14 searcher-text cards give about 0.77 chance of a searcher in opening 5

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden
• No Side Deck (side_count 0)
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and floor are unmeasured
• Archetype label Kuriboh is not supported by any card in the list

Critical choke points

• Mulcharmy core (8 copies) is only about 0.54 likely in hand 5, so the engine can stall without it
• Albion occupies an Extra Deck slot and is illegal, so the list must be rebuilt before any normal score applies

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 sizes are legal for OCG (40–60, 0–15, 0–15); Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden with 0 legal copies, run 1 (violation); Searcher-text P(>=1 in hand 5) = 0.7701 from the hypergeometric table; Composition: 33 distinct main cards, 72 off-archetype copies, 0 exact Kuriboh copies
• Observed: Usage stats: Droll & Lock Bird 76%, Ash Blossom 65%, Mulcharmy Fuwalos 62%, Mulcharmy Purulia 56% (archetype-level usage)
• Inferred: Starter access and brick rate from the hypergeometric model and card text; Interaction quality from negation and removal text; Going-second strength from hand-trap density; Closing power from ATK values and card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13 placeholder)
• 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, going-second and matchup rates are unknown no dated metagame sample: Meta Power is provisional Kuriboh archetype label has no supporting cards in the list no Side Deck, so post-side plan cannot be evaluated
