Cyber Dragon Deck #390622 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 22 / Extra 7 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extend the Cyber Dragon engine into Xyz (Cyber Dragon Nova, Cyber Dragon Infinity), Link (Cyber Dragon Sieger) or Fusion (Cyber End Dragon, Cyber Twin Dragon, Chimeratech Rampage Dragon) and attack with 2100+ ATK Machines; Jizukiru, the Star Destroying Kaiju (3300 ATK), Special Summoned by tributing an opponent monster
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core to search a Cyber Spell/Trap, or Special Summon Cyber Dragon Nachster by discarding, then build toward two Level 5 Machines for Nova
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Effect Veiler and Mystical Space Typhoon or Cybernetic Overflow to clear the first board, then Special Summon Cyber Dragon when the opponent controls only one monster
• Recovery: Recycle Cyber Dragons from the GY with Cyber Repair Plant, Nova (detach) and Cyber Revsystem (Special Summon, cannot be destroyed by card effects)
• After siding: Not applicable: Duel Links has no sideboard in this list (Side Deck size 0, side max 9)

Why it scores here

The score is set by the system: a 9-card starter group (Nachster, Cyber Dragon Core, Cyber Repair Plant, three copies each) is live in about 95% of opening 5-card hands, and the Cyber Dragon engine can be re-entered from hand, GY and Extra Deck, so the deck recovers across turns and interrupted lines have alternatives. Its ceiling is pressure from 2100-ATK Machines, Nova gaining ATK, and Cyber End Dragon at 4000 ATK with piercing. Its main weaknesses are the thin Fusion route (three Fusion monsters rest on one Overload Fusion and no Polymerization) and little going-second interaction (one Effect Veiler, about a 27% chance in a six-card hand). Archetype popularity earned no points, and no card scores were averaged. Combo boards are absent, so the floor and median are unmeasured and confidence is Medium.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo, meta-neutral: D13 dropped and weights renormalised over 97. Structural ≈ 66.3, Going First ≈ 71, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 65. Modifiers: Unrecoverable choke point: Fusion access (-2); Banlist exposure (-1); Engine compactness (1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional): 0.80*66.3 + 0.20*65 = 66.0, then -2 net modifiers = 64

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.05 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Nine-card starter group with two or three summon routes per main starter
• Recursion from GY via Repair Plant, Nova and Revsystem
• Multiple Special Summon sources and Level spread for Nova material and Overflow
• Strong closing attackers: 2100 ATK Machines, End Dragon 4000 ATK piercing, Jizukiru 3300 ATK
• Compact 22-card main with 72.4% exact-name archetype purity

Weaknesses

• Fusion access depends on a single Overload Fusion
• Going-second hand-trap coverage is one Effect Veiler
• No sideboard, so no post-side adaptation
• No combo boards, so floor and median are unmeasured
• Usage-statistics in this deck flags do not count Extra Deck cards

Critical choke points

• Overload Fusion (1 copy) is the only Fusion route for three Fusion monsters
• Two natural Level 5 Machines (Cyber Dragon x2) are needed to Xyz Summon Nova
• Cybernetic Overflow is at its Semi-Limited maximum of 2 copies
