Cyber Dragon Deck #401424 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 57/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boards from Cyber Dragon Nova, Cyber Dragon Infinity and Chimeratech Rampage Dragon, using Cyber Dragon ATK and Xyz/Fusion material recursion through the Graveyard.; Splash Extra Deck threats (Jizukiru, Super Quantal Mech Beast Magnaliger, Wind-Up Arsenal Zenmaioh) that reach 2600-3300 ATK once summoned.
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core to search a Cyber Spell/Trap, use Cyber Dragon Nachster or Herz from hand to put Cyber Dragons into the Graveyard, then convert with Overload Fusion or Xyz Summon Nova (Inferred from card text).
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Cyber Dragon (2100 ATK) and Core's on-field-opponent condition to Special Summon into the opponent's monster, then rebuild through Cyber Repair Plant and Cyber Dragon Nova (Inferred from card text).
• Recovery: Cyber Repair Plant and Cyber Revsystem recover 'Cyber Dragon' monsters from the Graveyard; Nova can re-Special Summon a Cyber Dragon from the GY after detaching material (Inferred).
• After siding: Not applicable: Duel Links has no sideboard, and the deck runs 0 side cards.

Why it scores here

The deck opens a Cyber Dragon starter reliably: the archetype core group gives an estimated 0.995 chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, and 11 searcher-text copies give about 0.98 (both Inferred from hypergeometric draws over the 22-card main deck). Its conversion ceiling comes from the Extra Deck: Nova, Infinity and Rampage Dragon can each take over a board, and Jizukiru, Magnaliger and Zenmaioh add high-ATK threats, but the combo evidence is empty, so the conversion and median scores rest on card text rather than recorded boards. Interaction is thin (no hand traps, floodgates or tech cards; the removal and negation text sits on mostly single-copy cards), which holds down the resilience and endboard scores. The score comes from consistency, closing ATK and main-deck compactness on the system; it does not come from Cyber Dragon being a popular archetype or from averaging card scores. Meta Power is provisional and no side plan exists in Duel Links, so the structural score drops D13 and renormalizes.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary; Midrange secondary not blended into weights; D13 dropped and remaining weights renormalized to 97 (meta-neutral). Structural ≈ 59.7, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: Off-archetype Extra Deck splash (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; Structural is meta-neutral with D13 dropped) = 0.80*59.7 + 0.20*58 - 2 = 57.4

Probability & combo summary

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

Strengths

• Starter density: 11 searcher-text copies and multi-route starters (Core, Nachster, Herz, Cyber Dragon)
• High closing ATK from Extra Deck Xyz/Fusion threats
• Compact 22-card Main with 4 triples and no dead tech slots
• Legal under Duel Links size rules and copy limits

Weaknesses

• No hand traps, floodgates or tech cards
• Most interaction is single-copy (Overflow, Jizukiru, Magnaliger, Zenmaioh)
• Three off-archetype Extra slots (Vimana, Magnaliger, Zenmaioh) dilute engine coherence
• No recorded combo boards, so the median and ceiling are text-based estimates

Critical choke points

• Overload Fusion x3 plus 3 Chimeratech Rampage: fusion line needs 2 Cyber Dragon materials on field or GY
• Cyber Dragon Nova Xyz needs 2 Level 5 Machines; with few copies, Nova is a single route to Infinity

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal under Duel Links size rules (22 Main, 9 Extra, 0 Side) and copy limits; Cybernetic Overflow is Semi-Limited and runs 1 of 2 legal copies; Card stats (ATK/DEF/level) for all 20 distinct cards
• Observed: Usage stats show Cyber Dragon, Herz, Nachster, Emergency and Repair Plant as core cards at 80%+ inclusion
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probability (0.995 archetype core, 0.98 searcher text); Combo lines from card text (Core search, Nachster GY-discard, Nova to Infinity); Recovery plans via Repair Plant, Revsystem and Nova; Interaction depth and going-second readings from text and draw odds
• Provisional: Meta Power (null: no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup and format fit (no tournament data); D12 side adaptability (no sideboard in Duel Links)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference (combo data total combos 0) Usage core-card flags are inconsistent: Cyber Dragon Nova (58069384) and Chimeratech Rampage Dragon (84058253) are in the deck's card list (2 and 3 copies) but usage statistics marks them in this deck false, so core-card presence 31.6 is understated (8 of 19 by card list, not 6) No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Guides are thin: 3 guides, section_count 0 in all, one snippet is only an HTML space Meta Power is Provisional
