Kuriboh Deck #771206 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±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. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Destiny HERO boss monsters (Destro-Dogma, Dusktopia, Dystopia, Dreadnought Master) through Polymerization/Fusion Destiny, using Destiny HERO searchers and recursion to rebuild after each interruption.; Chaos/Dark Law/Contrast HERO fusions and Xtra HERO link beats as follow-up pressure once a Fusion is established.
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening-hand searcher (Winged Kuriboh Sabatiel LV10, Destiny HERO - Doom Overlord, Masked HERO Furnace, Dusk Crow, Dreadnought Servant) to reach Polymerization or Fusion Destiny, with hand traps held up for the opponent's first answer.
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with hand-trap coverage (P(>=1 hand trap)=0.93) to answer the opponent's first board, then Fusion into a boss; the deck has no side deck to adapt that plan.
• Recovery: Recover from an interruption by recursing Destiny HERO monsters from the GY (Destiny HERO - Malicious, Denier, Dark Angel) and re-running Fusion Summon with the remaining Polymerization or Dreadnought Master.
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck has no Side Deck, so no post-side plan exists.

Why it scores here

The score comes from the deck as a system: a searcher-dense Destiny HERO core (15 searcher-text cards, P(>=1 searcher in a 5-card opening)=0.81) that reaches Fusion bosses, backed by 19 hand traps and 14 negation-text cards that give it real interruption resilience and going-second coverage. Median output and ceiling are not measured because no boards were recorded, so the combo dimensions rest on text reads (Inferred). Only 3 of 67 off-archetype-free cards share the declared Kuriboh name and purity is 4.3%, so the Kuriboh label does not add engine cohesion; the real engine is Destiny HERO. The deck is Illegal (Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies against a limit of 2), so the score is capped low and labelled structural-only. Popularity and meta-share played no part because no tournament or usage data supports them, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure: over-limit Semi-Limited card (-8); no side deck (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(51) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 49.8; context modifiers -12 give 37.8; Illegal-deck cap applied, final 35 (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

• Searcher density: 15 searcher-text cards give P(>=1 in opening 5)=0.81
• Layered interaction: 19 hand traps and 14 negation-text cards
• Destiny HERO recursion from the GY gives recovery across turns
• High-ATK Fusion bosses (Destro-Dogma 3400, Dusktopia 3000) give closing power

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies against a limit of 2
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• Archetype label 'Kuriboh' does not match the deck; purity 4.3%
• No recorded combos, so ceiling and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Polymerization and Fusion Destiny (2 + 3 copies) as the only route to most bosses
• Dreadnought Master needs Dreadmaster in the hand or Destiny HERO Fusion context

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Ash Blossom 3 copies vs legal 2 (violation); Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 within OCG size rules; Limited cards (Droll, Duster, Reinforcement, Terraforming) each run 1 copy; Boss ATK/DEF values from card data
• Observed: Usage: Droll & Lock Bird 73% and Ash Blossom 65% inclusion in the archetype sample
• Inferred: Consistency estimates from hypergeometric draw odds; Interaction and recursion roles read from card text; Going-first and going-second plan quality
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample
• 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 for going-first, going-second, matchups or brick rates Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck, so post-side performance cannot be scored
