Frightfur Deck #772438 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 31/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 51 / Extra 22 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Frightfur Fusion Monsters (Cruel Whale, Sabre-Tooth, Kraken, Tiger) that destroy field cards on summon and attack multiple times; Fiendsmith and Luce/Desirae Extra Deck boards as a backup closing route, plus Link-based pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Polymerization, Frightfur Patchwork, Edge Imp Chain and Fluffal searchers reach a 2-material Fusion Summon; the Extra Deck is only partly legal, so the full line cannot be run as built
• Turn 2 (going second): Pot of Sloth and Maxx C, with Red Reboot and Heavy Storm, are the main interaction; Fusion boards come through Fluffal Owl and Edge Imp Scythe
• Recovery: Frightfur Repair returns a Fusion Monster to the Extra Deck and Special Summons a Fluffal or Edge Imp from the GY; Toy Vendor and Fluffal Wings recur from the GY
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is a Fusion-based Combo shell whose opening is reasonably accessible: 19 searcher-text cards give about a 91% chance of at least one search in a 5-card opener, and the 3-copy Polymerization line gives about a 27% chance of at least one Polymerization in hand. Its ceiling is credible on paper because Frightfur Cruel Whale, Sabre-Tooth and Kraken can each remove or destroy field cards on summon, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only inferences. Consistency is held back by a large share of Level 0 spells (27 of 51 Main Deck cards), only 6.8% exact Frightfur-name purity across several sub-archetypes, and a Side Deck of zero. The deck is scored on the system, not by averaging its cards, and it is capped low because three Forbidden cards and an oversized Extra Deck make it illegal in OCG. Archetype popularity and usage stats are not counted as evidence of strength.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 45, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 38, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Illegal list: banned copies and oversized Extra Deck (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers; Illegal cap applied via the legality modifier

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.27 · 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 is high: 19 searcher-text cards give near-certain search access in an opener
• Multiple Fusion Monsters with on-summon removal or destruction effects give a real board-breaking ceiling
• Recursion lines (Frightfur Repair, Toy Vendor, Fluffal Wings) help recover after an interruption

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: three Forbidden cards and an Extra Deck of 22 against a limit of 15
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptation
• Low exact-name purity (6.8%) spreads the engine across Edge Imp, Fluffal, Fiendsmith and Mulcharmy
• 27 Level 0 spells dilute the Main Deck and raise the chance of dead draws

Critical choke points

• Fusion Summon needs Polymerization or an equivalent and two specific materials, and a single disruption can stop the whole line
• Only 1 to 3 copies of most Fusion starters are present, so an opener without them is a brick
• The three Forbidden cards cannot be played in OCG, so any line that relies on them fails

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Status Illegal: three Forbidden cards run; Extra Deck 22 exceeds the limit of 15; Main Deck 51 is within the OCG size range of 40 to 60; Side Deck is 0 cards; Copy limits met for Limited and Semi-Limited cards (Fiendsmith Engraver, Maxx C, Heavy Storm, Red Reboot, Foolish Burial Goods)
• Observed: Archetype usage shows Frightfur core inclusion of 100% for Frightfur Patchwork and 75% for Edge Imp Chain
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter access from hypergeometric estimates (27% for a 3-copy card, 91% searcher access); Consistency and brick-risk ratings from composition and card text; Interaction quality from negation and removal text
• Provisional: Tournament reliability and matchup fit, since there is no dated metagame or 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 match record absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first, going-second and matchup rates unknown No Side Deck registered; post-side plan cannot be evaluated Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
