Kuriboh Deck #769325 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Large Fusion, Synchro and Ritual boss monsters (Black Skull Dragon, Chaos Angel, Mirrorjade, The Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Black Luster Soldier, Magician of Dark Chaos) reached through Mulcharmy draw-and-search support and Fallen of Albaz / Light and Darkness Ritual engines; Hand-trap-protected Mulcharmy card advantage grinding the game out over several turns
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Mulcharmy or Fallen of Albaz starter, search with Ragged Records of Rites, Mind Shuffle or Celtic Mystic, and build toward a Ritual or Fusion boss while holding Ash Blossom or Ghost Ogre for the opponent's first activated effect
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 9 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird, Kuriboh - Multiply!, Nibiru, Mulcharmy draw effects) to answer the opponent's opening, then turn the card-advantage lead into a boss summon
• Recovery: Mulcharmy draw effects and recursion (Pot of Sloth, Fallen of Albaz GY effects, Mind Shuffle) rebuild the hand after a single hand-trap or floodgate interruption
• After siding: No side deck is run (side 0), so there is no post-side plan; the deck must rely on the main-deck tech density for every matchup

Why it scores here

The deck was scored as a connected system, not as an average of its card scores. Its real engine is a hybrid of Mulcharmy draw effects, Fallen of Albaz / Dogmatika starters and a Light and Darkness Ritual package, supported by nine hand traps and fourteen searchers, so the opening has several independent ways to find a starter (Inferred, about 63 percent to open at least one of the ten Mulcharmy core cards in a 5-card hand). The high-power Extra Deck bosses and Black Chaos-style Ritual monsters lift the ceiling and the closing power, but there are no recorded boards, so the median output is an Inferred estimate and is scored low. Popularity was not credited: the Kuriboh archetype has only 4.2 percent exact-name purity, and the archetype usage stats only confirm that its core cards are common in real builds. The score is capped at 30 because the list breaks two copy limits, with Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization each run at 3 copies against an OCG limit of 2; this is a theoretical, structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Toolbox secondary, disclosed as a 1:1 structural blend using the Midrange profile weights; no secondary weight shift applied. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: no Side Deck (-3); illegal_copy_limit_cap (0). Final formula: Uncapped: 0.80*Structural(53.7) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + modifiers(-3) = 48.9; Illegal cap applied (over copy limit on 2 cards), so the score is set to 30 as a theoretical structural-only read. Meta Power is null/provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.63 · 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

• Mulcharmy draw engine gives repeated card advantage and recursion
• Nine hand traps across several starters give layered interaction on both turns
• Boss-level Extra Deck monsters (3000+ ATK) give real closing power

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization each run 3 copies against an OCG limit of 2
• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptation
• Engine is split across three or more sub-archetypes (exact-name purity 4.2 percent), which weakens coherence
• Heat Wave locks the deck's own Effect Monster summons

Critical choke points

• Fallen of Albaz and the Light and Darkness Ritual package each start single-copy boss lines, so a missing starter removes the win condition
• Ash Blossom at 3 copies is the most likely brick and the most likely legality failure at the table

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization are each run 3 copies against an OCG limit of 2; Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 are within the OCG size rules; Limited cards Bystial Magnamhut, Droll & Lock Bird and S:P Little Knight are each run 1 copy, within limit; Extra Deck breakdown: 8 Fusion, 5 Synchro, 2 Link; Archetype usage: Mulcharmy Fuwalos 58.8 percent, Ash Blossom 70.6 percent, Droll & Lock Bird 64.7 percent inclusion
• Inferred: P(at least 1 Mulcharmy core card in 5-card hand) ≈ 0.63; P(at least 1 hand trap in 6-card hand) ≈ 0.66; Going-second hand-trap density supports D8; Ceiling lines from card text: Fallen of Albaz into Titaniklad / Mirrorjade / Dragon that Devours; Light and Darkness Ritual into Black Chaos / Black Luster Soldier; Heat Wave conflicts with the deck's own Effect Monster summons
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; tournament data is unavailable; D13 matchup and format fit is scored Provisional without a dated meta 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 absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck, so no post-side performance or plan data exists
