Kuriboh Deck #772226 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 56/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 58 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion boss monsters (Destro-Dogma, Dusktopia, Dominance, Dystopia, Trinity) reached through Fusion Destiny, Polymerization, Masked HERO Furnace and Dreadnought Servant; Mulcharmy draw-engine attrition: Fuwalos and Purulia draw on opponent summons while the deck keeps cards in hand
• Turn 1 (going first): Dark City at Midnight, Destiny HERO - Malicious and Doom Overlord search or recycle Destiny HERO pieces; Mulcharmy monsters enter when the field is empty; Fusion Destiny or Polymerization reaches a Fusion boss by turn 2-3
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom x2, Ghost Ogre x3, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Red Reboot) and Solemn Judgment break the opponent's turn-1 line; Destiny HERO - Plasma and Dark Angel negate face-up effects and continue the engine
• Recovery: Destiny HERO monsters recur from the GY (Dark Angel to the opponent's field, Malicious self-revival, Dreadmaster via Clock Tower Prison); Mulcharmy draws replace spent cards; Pot of Sloth x2 and Pot of Prosperity refill the hand
• After siding: None. The deck runs zero side-deck cards, so there is no defined post-side plan (see d12 and the Recommendations)

Why it scores here

The deck is a Destiny HERO and Mulcharmy fusion midrange list, not a Kuriboh deck: only 3 of 70 non-generic cards carry the Kuriboh name, and the archetype label reflects the card group that was filed rather than the deck's engine. Its structural strength comes from the system: three copies of each main engine starter give about an 84% chance of at least one searcher-text card in the opening five cards (Inferred), the Mulcharmy and Pot draw cards keep the hand functional, and eight hand traps plus 13 negation-text cards give the deck interaction on both the going-first and going-second turns. Its fusion boss monsters (Destro-Dogma, Dusktopia, Dominance) give closing power, and recursion through Destiny HERO monsters in the graveyard supports interruption resilience. The score is held back by an empty side deck (no post-side plan), by reliance on single-copy enablers (Dreadnought Servant, Stratos, Polymerization, Mask Change), and by the absence of combo or tournament evidence, so the floor and median output are inferred rather than observed. Popularity did not earn points: the usage-stat core presence of 80% only confirms the list is accessible, and the score was built from the deck's system properties, not from averaging its card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange (D13 dropped and remaining weights renormalized /95, because no metagame data is available). Structural ≈ 63.7, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-2); No post-side plan (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (no reliable metagame; Meta provisional). 0.80*63.7 + 0.20*52 = 61.4; modifiers -5; final 56

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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

• Three copies of the main Destiny HERO and Mulcharmy engine pieces, with searchers giving about an 84% chance of at least one in the opening five
• Eight hand traps and 13 negation-text cards cover both turns
• Fusion boss monsters with high ATK (2900-3400) provide closing power
• Full Extra Deck (15/15) with two copies of the two most central Fusion and Link engines

Weaknesses

• Zero side-deck cards, so there is no post-side plan
• Archetype label Kuriboh does not describe the deck (4.1% exact-name purity; Destiny HERO 21 copies)
• Several single-copy enablers (Dreadnought Servant, Stratos, Polymerization, Mask Change) are unrecoverable if drawn dead
• No recorded combos or tournament data to validate the floor, median or matchup fit

Critical choke points

• Single Polymerization or Fusion Destiny access for the Fusion boss line
• Single Dreadnought Servant as the only hand-summon route for Level 8 Destiny HERO recursion
• Field Spell (Dark City at Midnight, x3) depends on Terraforming, a single copy, when none is on the field

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal under OCG rules: 58 main (40-60), 15 extra (0-15), 0 side (0-15); Limited and Semi-Limited copy counts are at their legal maximum; Card text and stats from the evidence cards array; Extra-Deck split: 12 Fusion, 3 Link; Usage-core presence 80% (4 of 5 core cards)
• Observed: Usage-stat inclusion rates for the Kuriboh archetype core (Droll 73%, Ash 65%, Fuwalos 65%, Purulia 62%)
• Inferred: Engine consistency P(at least 1 searcher in hand5) = 0.84 and usage-core P = 0.58 (hypergeometric); Brick, interaction density and closing power as read from card text; Going-first and going-second power estimates
• Provisional: Meta power (null) and matchup fit (D13, dropped from structural); Tournament reliability of 52 (depends on absent side deck and absent tournament data)
• 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 for OCG going-first, going-second or matchup results Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied archetype label Kuriboh is not representative of the deck (4.1% exact purity); scored on card text, not the label no side deck, so post-side performance cannot be evaluated
