Kuriboh Deck #768042 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 58 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon of high-ATK HERO boss monsters (Contrast HERO Chaos, Elemental HERO Shining Neos Wingman, Vision HERO Trinity, Elemental HERO Sunrise) once Polymerization-family spells and Mask Change reach the Extra Deck; Mulcharmy draw-engine chip damage and Neo-Spacian removal pressure (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Search and summon a starter (Masked HERO Furnace, Masked HERO Dusk Crow, Elemental HERO Blazeman, Mask Change or Polymerization) into a fusion; hand traps are held back (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Solemn Judgment and Forbidden Droplet to disrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Mulcharmy and Destiny HERO recursion (Inferred)
• Recovery: Destiny HERO - Malicious and Destiny HERO - Denier recur from the GY, and Vision HERO Vyon can re-add Polymerization from the GY (Inferred)
• After siding: None: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal in OCG because it runs three Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a limit of two, so its score is capped low and the evaluation is structural only. Its engine is a broad HERO fusion network: 15 searcher-text cards give about a 0.79 chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), but the 9 archetype-core copies give only about a 0.58 chance of one in hand, so roughly 42% of openings lack a core piece. Ceiling is credible on paper from several 2500+ ATK fusion and link bosses, but no recorded boards exist, so floor and median output are unmeasured and scored conservatively. Interaction is the deck's clearest strength: four hand traps, Solemn Judgment, Solemn Accusation, Forbidden Droplet and Droll & Lock Bird give layered negation on both turns. Popularity did not earn points; the Kuriboh archetype tag matches only 4.1% of cards by exact name, and no side deck means no post-side adaptation. The score was derived from the system's consistency, interaction and closing power, not from averaging the individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: balanced. Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); engine_conflicts (-4); no_side_deck (-2); illegal_cap (-6). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(50) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + ContextModifiers(-12) = 36; Illegal cap applied, score = min(36, 30) = 30

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.79 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.42 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Layered negation: four hand traps, two Solemn Accusation copies, Forbidden Droplet, Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird
• Dense searcher text (15 cards) supports consistency on paper
• Extra Deck of 15 with high-ATK fusion and link bosses gives closing power

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a limit of 2
• Low archetype coherence: 4.1% exact-name purity across several sub-archetypes
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Polymerization-family spells and Mask Change: most fusion lines pass through them, and the copy count is only 2 each
• Single Solemn Judgment and single Droll & Lock Bird: one-of interaction without redundancy

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies vs OCG limit 2; Main 58 cards and Extra 15 cards are within the size rules; Side Deck is empty (0 cards); Exact-name archetype purity is 4.1%
• Observed: Usage statistics show 4 of 5 core cards present (80%); S:P Little Knight is missing
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probability (about 0.79 for searchers, about 0.58 for the core); Brick proxy about 0.42; Interaction density from hand-trap and negation text; Going-first and going-second plan descriptions
• Provisional: Meta power (null) and matchup fit, with no dated metagame sample or tournament link
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling rest on text inference only No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists; going-first and going-second splits are Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null; archetype tag Kuriboh does not match the list's dominant Elemental HERO composition No Side Deck present
