Cyber Dragon Deck #390598 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 65/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 22 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Cyber End Dragon (4000 ATK, piercing) or Cyber Dragon Nova / Infinity built from repeated Cyber Dragon summons; Jizukiru, the Star Destroying Kaiju (3300 ATK) and Chimeratech Rampage Dragon for board clearing
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core to search a Cyber spell/trap, or Special Summon Nachster or Cyber Dragon from hand, then convert the board into Nova or Rampage Dragon
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Cyber Dragon Core or Nachster from hand against a single opposing monster, then Fusion or Xyz into Rampage Dragon or Nova to answer the board
• Recovery: Cyber Repair Plant and Cyber Emergency recover Cyber Dragons from the GY, and Cyber Revsystem re-summons from the GY
• After siding: Not applicable: Duel Links has no Side Deck in this list

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens its engine: nine starter-capable copies (Nachster, Core, Cyber Dragon, Herz) give roughly a 95% chance of at least one starter in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred, hypergeometric). Its search and recursion (Core, Repair Plant, Emergency, Revsystem, Overflow) let a single starter recover several turns of resources, which lifts the economy and resilience dimensions. Conversion into pressure is strong at the top end, with Cyber End Dragon, Nova and Infinity closing games. Scoring is capped by the absence of recorded boards, which leaves the combo floor and median as text-based inference, and by three off-archetype Book of Eclipse copies that add little to the engine. Popularity of the archetype was not credited, and the card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Combo secondary, applied as the Midrange profile. Structural ≈ 64, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 66. Modifiers: engine compactness (1); off-archetype slots (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional, no dated sample)

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

• Nine starter-capable copies give high opening-hand access
• Search and GY recursion regenerate resources across turns
• Multiple summon routes survive a single disruption
• Extra Deck boss monsters close games with piercing and ATK growth

Weaknesses

• No hand traps or floodgates for going second
• Book of Eclipse x3 is off-engine and adds little
• Two Extra Deck slots (Vimana, Zenmaioh) are off-archetype
• No Side Deck for adaptation

Critical choke points

• Cyber Dragon Core or Nachster must be live to start the engine
• Cyber Dragon GY count gates Cyber Repair Plant and Cyber End Dragon

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in duel-links: 22 Main, 9 Extra, 0 Side within size rules; Cybernetic Overflow Semi-Limited at 2 copies, run 2; Card stats and text for all listed cards; Archetype usage: Cyber Dragon 2 of typical 3; Cyber Emergency 1 of typical 3
• Inferred: Starter hypergeometric ≈ 0.95 at 5-card hand; Consistency and brick estimates; Structural dimension scores; Combo ceiling from text only
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; Matchup and format fit (D13); Side adaptability (D12) given Duel Links format
• 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 and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
