Kuriboh Deck #768632 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Master of Chaos, Dark Magician of Destruction, Dark Paladin - Wave-Motion, Magistus Chorozo) summoned off Dark Magician / Chaos / Magistus material, with Gandora-G and Dark Burning Attack as the removal-based close.; Mulcharmy draw-engine attrition plus Dominus Impulse / Dominus Spark disruption, converting card advantage over a long game.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a searcher (Magician's Rod, Illusion of Chaos, Shining Sarcophagus, Dark Magical Curtain) toward Dark Magician or Shining Sarcophagus, then Fusion or Ritual into a boss while holding Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird for protection. This plan is Inferred only, since no combo boards were supplied.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Maxx "C", Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru) to interrupt the opponent's opening, then rebuild through the Dark Magician searchers. Hand-trap density is high, so this is the deck's stronger turn-order plan on paper.
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw when the hand is emptied, and Soul Servant, Bond Between Teacher and Student, and Future Silence recycle the engine. Recovery depends on the Dark Magician and Chaos searchers, which is a fragile chain.
• After siding: Not available: the Side Deck is empty (Side Deck size 0), so there is no post-side plan. This is a structural gap in a best-of-three format.

Why it scores here

This deck is scored as a connected system, not as an average of its card scores. Its strongest feature is the interaction layer: Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Maxx "C", Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru and Dominus Impulse give it many ways to answer a turn, which lifts D7 and D8. Its engine opens reasonably often, since the searcher group reaches at least one copy in about 81% of five-card openings (Inferred from the hypergeometric estimate). The weak points are structural. The main deck is very diffuse, with 30 distinct main-deck cards and 70 off-archetype copies that span roughly 20 sub-archetypes. There is no exact-name Kuriboh core, no recorded combo boards to measure the ceiling or floor against, and no Side Deck, so consistency and post-side scores stay low. The deck is Illegal in OCG because it runs two Forbidden cards (Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon and Baronne de Fleur), so the score is capped and the evaluation is structural-only. Popularity and usage stats are not credited, and no tournament or win-rate data supports the matchup scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Toolbox used to inform D10/D11/D12 interpretation (not a numeric blend). Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(51.6) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + ContextModifiers(-12) = 38, then capped at 25 because the deck is Illegal (Meta Provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.81 · 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: 10 hand traps and 12 negation-text cards
• Searcher density reaches at least one starter in about 81% of openings (Inferred)
• Multiple Extra Deck boss routes (Master of Chaos, Dark Magician of Destruction, Chorozo, Dark Paladin)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: two Forbidden cards
• No Side Deck (Side Deck size 0)
• Very diffuse main deck: 30 distinct cards, 0% exact-name purity
• No recorded combo boards to measure the ceiling or median

Critical choke points

• Dark Magician / Chaos / Shining Sarcophagus searchers gate most boss lines
• Chaos Form and Ritual summons need specific Tribute/banish resources in the GY

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon and Baronne de Fleur are Forbidden in OCG and run 1 copy each; Main 55 (within 40-60), Extra 15 (within 0-15), Side 0; Card text and banlist status for all listed cards; Archetype purity: 0% exact-name, 70 off-archetype copies; Probability table values (hypergeometric, Main Deck only)
• Observed: Usage stats: 5 core cards present at 100% (inclusion 53-71%)
• Inferred: Searcher and archetype-core consistency estimates from hypergeometric odds; Hand-trap and interaction strength from card text; Going-first and going-second plan descriptions; Dimension scores D1-D11, D13 and D14
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied (combo data total combos 0): combo floor, median and ceiling are 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 rates) — those are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck is Illegal as built; score capped and structural-only Archetype label 'Kuriboh' does not match any card in the list (0 exact-name copies)
