Fur Hire Deck #773880 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 64/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (K9-X Werewolf, K9-X Ripper/M, K9-00 Hound, K9-66X Jacks, Artifact Durendal) and Fur Hire Link/Rafale pressure, converted after the Rex and Fur Hire summon chain.; Rafale, Champion Fur Hire and Link pressure (Folgo, Keel, Donner) from the Fur Hire engine.
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1: Rex, Freight Fur Hire or Fossil Dig/Fandora to find a Fur Hire monster, then Rex, Ride Fur Hire from hand to build a Fur Hire board and reach the Link or Xyz Extra Deck summons.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C or Nibiru to answer the opponent's first summon chain, then rebuild with the Fur Hire searchers and K9 Xyz summons.
• Recovery: Rex, Freight Fur Hire recurs from the GY (banish to add or summon a Fur Hire); Mayhem Fur Hire and Rookie Fur Hire re-summon from GY or Deck; Mulcharmy draw effects refill the hand.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side 0), so there is no post-side plan; any adaptation is limited to the main deck's Crossout Designator and hand traps.

Why it scores here

The deck scores on the system, not on its cards: the 20-copy K9 and Fur Hire core gives an archetype core group of 0.976 P(at least one in a 5-card opening hand), and the 15 searcher-text cards give 0.919, so an engine starts reliably on turns 1 and 2. It then converts through a real Extra Deck: Xyz and Link bosses at 2400–3300 ATK plus piercing Ripper/M, and recursion through Rex, Freight Fur Hire and the Fur Hire GY effects keeps the line alive after one disruption. Interaction is layered (Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C, Nibiru, Crossout Designator, Donner, K9-X Ripper/M and Jacks), which earns the end-board score. Popularity and archetype usage stats confirm the list is a real, accessible build, but they did not add points to the score. Costs are the empty side deck (no post-side plan), the conditional K9 Normal Summon and the Rex partner requirement, and the absence of any combo records, so the median and floor are text-only inferences.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 69, Going First ≈ 74, Going Second ≈ 72, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 62. Modifiers: Conditional engine conflicts (-2); No side deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(meta-neutral, D13 dropped and weights renormalized) + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers; Meta Power Provisional. 0.80*69 + 0.20*62 = 67.6, then -4 modifiers = 63.6 -> 64

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, redundant starter package: 20 core copies with ~0.98 P(≥1 in opening hand of 5)
• Layered interaction: hand traps, Crossout Designator, Donner, Jacks, Ripper/M
• Recursion through Rex Freight and Fur Hire GY effects supports multi-turn grind
• Strong board ceiling with 2400–3300 ATK Extra Deck bosses and piercing Ripper/M

Weaknesses

• Empty side deck: no post-side adaptation
• Conditional K9 Normal Summon (opponent must hold 2+ cards) and Rex's Fur Hire partner requirement
• No combo records: floor and median are unverified
• Off-archetype slots (Mulcharmy x3, Maxx C, Salamangreat, Skyblaster) dilute the core

Critical choke points

• Fur Hire monster needed in hand to Rex Ride and in deck to Rex Freight search
• Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll, Maxx C, Nibiru) as the first answer to an opposing combo
• Extra Deck summons (Link and Xyz) require materials on board

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; Crossout Designator and Maxx C at legal copy limits; Droll and Lock Bird at its Semi-Limited limit of 2; Composition and copy histogram (23 distinct main, 11 distinct extra, 7 Link, 8 Xyz); Card stats and text excerpts for every card; Archetype core group 20 copies and searcher text group 15 copies
• Observed: Usage statistics: K9/Fur Hire core cards are standard (Rex Freight, Rex Ride, Ash Blossom, Donpa, Maxx C at 100% inclusion in the archetype sample)
• Inferred: Starter reliability ≈ 0.98 for the core group and ≈ 0.92 for searchers; Full-brick proxy ≈ 0.02; Ceiling and median ratings from text, with no recorded boards; Going-second hand-trap coverage ≈ 0.71; Interaction and recursion quality from text roles
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13 held at 50 and excluded from the meta-neutral structural recompute)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is 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, brick/starter/OTK rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null in the export
