Kuriboh Deck #774499 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Stun
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck beatdown from Link and Xyz bosses (Mediclius, Vidolium-style Power Patron pressure, Galaxy-Eyes and Zombie Vampire in the Extra Deck) after the Fur Hire and Power Patron board is established; Mulcharmy draw-lock: Fuwalos and Purulia draw on each opponent Summon while the hand is kept larger than the opponent's
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Fur Hire or Mulcharmy starter, use Rex, Freight Fur Hire or Fossil Dig to find the next starter, and protect the line with Ash Blossom, Kuriboh and Droll
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit, Nibiru, Droll and Lock Bird, Detonating Kuriboh) answer the opponent's first engine, then the Fur Hire board rebuilds through Rex, Ride Fur Hire
• Recovery: Rex, Freight Fur Hire and Beat or Seal, Strategist Fur Hire recycle from the GY, and Mayhem Fur Hire or Rookie Fur Hire revive Fur Hire monsters
• After siding: Not available: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Fur Hire starter about 95 percent of the time, since the archetype core of 24 copies gives a high probability of at least one in the opening hand (Inferred, from hypergeometric estimates). It converts that opening into board presence through Rex, Ride Fur Hire, Fur Hire recursion and Mulcharmy draws, and it has real interaction density with 8 hand traps, 7 negation texts and 24 removal texts (Inferred from card text). The deck loses points for a split engine: three related sub-families (Fur Hire, Mulcharmy and Power Patron/Ars Magna) share only 5.7 percent exact-name archetype purity, and there are no recorded boards to measure the combo ceiling or median output, so those dimensions rest on text inference. The deck also has no Side Deck, which removes any post-side adaptation. Its score is capped to a theoretical value because Ash Blossom is run three times against a limit of two. Popularity of the Kuriboh label and the archetype core stats were not counted as power, and no card scores were averaged into the deck result.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with a Toolbox flavour (hand traps and tech); Meta is provisional and excluded. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Engine conflict across sub-archetypes (-6); No Side Deck (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*53 + 0.20*45 = 51.4; modifiers -10 gives 41.4; Illegal legality caps the final to 35 (theoretical, structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · 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

• Archetype core (Fur Hire and Mulcharmy) is present at high probability in the opening hand
• Eight hand traps plus Droll and Ghost Ogre give layered interaction for going second
• Extra Deck has high-ATK bosses that can close the game once a board is established

Weaknesses

• Ash Blossom is over the copy limit (3 vs 2), so the list is illegal as built
• Exact-name purity of 5.7 percent: the deck is a mix of three sub-archetype engines
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No recorded combos, so ceiling and median output cannot be verified

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom at 3 copies: the list cannot be played legally until one copy is removed
• The Fur Hire starter set: a hand without Fur Hire starters leaves the Extra Deck bosses unused

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run 3 times against a legal limit of 2 (Semi-Limited); Main Deck 55 and Extra Deck 15 are within the TCG size rules; Side Deck is empty; Archetype core inclusion and copy counts from usage statistics
• Observed: Usage statistics show the Fur Hire and Mulcharmy core at 100 percent inclusion among archetype decks
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probability of about 0.95 from hypergeometric estimates; Interaction density from hand trap, negation and removal card text; Going-first and going-second power from text and structure; Brick risk from the copy histogram and single-copy count
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit, because there is no dated metagame sample or tournament link
• Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN, so going-first, going-second and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample no guides attached to the archetype
