Kuriboh Deck #768131 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Boards from Black Chaos, Magician of Dark Chaos - Black Chaos, Black Skull Dragon, Chaos Angel or Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord (Inferred from card text; no recorded boards); Dark Magician / Dark Cavalry / Dark Paladin / Master of Chaos beatdown via Fusion and Ritual access (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Search and open a Dark Magician or Light and Darkness Ritual starter with Dark Magician Girl, Magician's Rod, Dark Magical Circle, or Mind Shuffle; protect with Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Mulcharmy Fuwalos, Mulcharmy Purulia, Kuriboh - Multiply!, Nibiru) to interrupt the opponent's summon chain, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draw and searchers (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recursion from Skull Archfiend of Chaos, Witch of the Black Forest, Soul Servant and Dark Magician, the Pharaoh's Servant; Mulcharmy draw effects refill hand (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot be adjusted between games

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Dominus Impulse are each run three times against a Semi-Limited limit of two, so the score is a capped, structural-only read and no Final Contextual formula is applied. Structurally the list is a toolbox of many archetypes (Dark Magician, Light and Darkness Ritual, Mulcharmy, Chaos, Shining Sarcophagus, Solemn, Prophecy) with an exact-name archetype purity of 4%, so no single engine is reliably assembled from the opening hand. Its real strengths are interruption density (six hand traps plus Solemn Judgment and Solemn Warning) and recursion/searcher text, which keep it in games after a disruption. The deck has no side deck and no recorded boards, tournament data or guides, so combo floor and median and matchup fit are unmeasured; the score reflects the list structure, not a popularity or meta read, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 38. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (over copy limit) (-6); No side deck (-4); Engine conflicts (-2). Final formula: Illegal list: structural-only and capped. Structural 46 (Toolbox profile) with modifiers -12 gives about 34, capped to 30. Final Contextual formula not applied.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.23 · 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

• Six hand traps plus two Solemn traps give layered interruption on both turns
• Searchers and recursion (Magician's Rod, Dark Magician Girl, Mulcharmy draw, Skull Archfiend) keep card economy going across turns
• Boss monsters reach 3000 ATK with Dark Cavalry and Dark Paladin as closers

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts: Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse each run 3 copies against a limit of 2
• Exact-archetype purity is 4%, so the engine is split across several archetypes
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Going-first plan depends on a single Dark Magician or Light and Darkness Ritual starter with low per-copy odds

Critical choke points

• Light and Darkness Ritual access for the Black Chaos and Magician of Dark Chaos boss line
• Single Droll & Lock Bird and Harpie's Feather Duster (Limited) cannot be duplicated

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Copy limits: Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse exceed the Semi-Limited limit of 2; Main count 60 and Extra count 15 are within format size rules; Banlist status of Droll & Lock Bird, Harpie's Feather Duster, S:P Little Knight and Solemn Judgment is Limited at one copy each; Archetype usage: Ash Blossom 70.6%, Droll & Lock Bird 64.7%, Mulcharmy Fuwalos 58.8%, Mulcharmy Purulia 52.9% of stat rows
• Inferred: Consistency estimates from hypergeometric draw odds; Going-first and going-second plans from card text; Hand-trap and recursion roles from card text; Structural scores on all 14 dimensions
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample; no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck: post-side performance cannot be assessed Deck title is null in the export
