Fur Hire Deck #773591 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 62/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Xyz/Link beaters (K9-X Werewolf, K9-X Ripper/M, K9-00 Hound, K9-66X Jacks) attacking through a K9/Fur Hire board; Fur Hire Link chains (Donner, Folgo, Keel) recurring Fur Hire monsters for repeated board presence
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon K9 monsters without Tribute (opponent holds 2+ cards), search with Rex Freight / A Case for K9 / Fandora, and build toward an Xyz or Link Summon
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Nibiru) to blank the opponent's first summon, then Fur Hire Special Summon chains from hand (Rex Ride, Beat, Donpa, Rookie, Mayhem) into the Extra Deck
• Recovery: Rex Freight banishes from the GY to add or Special Summon a Fur Hire, plus Mayhem Fur Hire and Fossil Dig searches to rebuild from the Deck
• After siding: None: the list runs 0 Side Deck cards, so there is no defined post-side plan (Inferred gap)

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional plan: 15 searcher-text cards and 18 Fur Hire/K9 starter copies give a 0.976 chance of at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred hypergeometric estimate). Conversion is credible but unmeasured, since no real boards were recorded, so the ceiling and median come from card text alone. Interaction is layered across hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Nibiru) and in-deck removal such as Crossout Designator and Donpa, which supports resilience and the going-second hand trap read at 0.71 for 6 cards. Extra Deck threats with 2,400 to 3,300 ATK close games, but the 32.7% exact-name purity and the Mulcharmy, Salamangreat, Skyblaster and Artifact splashes cost some engine coherence. The score comes from consistency, median output and interaction taken together as a system; the deck's popularity (archetype usage 54.5% core presence) earned no points, and card scores were not averaged. Without a side deck or a dated meta sample, the post-side and matchup dimensions stay low-confidence.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 66, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: Splash spread across four off-engine families (-2); No side deck (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); 0.80*66 + 0.20*60 = 64.8, then -3 modifiers, rounded to 62

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.02 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense searcher and starter density (15 searchers, 18 exact-name Fur Hire/K9 starters)
• Layered hand traps and removal covering going-second
• High-ATK Extra Deck threats with Werewolf multi-attack and piercing K9-X Ripper/M
• Legal list with every restricted card within its legal copy count

Weaknesses

• No side deck (0 of 15 allowed)
• Exact-name purity 32.7%; Mulcharmy and other splashes dilute the engine
• No recorded boards, so ceiling and median are unverified
• Multi-step summon chains with Normal Summon restrictions raise pilot error risk

Critical choke points

• Extra Deck material for K9-X and Link summons depends on K9 and Fur Hire monsters being on field
• A single Xyz or Link starter that is hand-trapped or negated can stall the chain
• Hand traps are only 7 cards, so a hand with none faces a 0.289 going-second miss rate
