Cyber Dragon Deck #633054 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 42 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link and Xyz boards that feed Fusion or Extra Deck boss monsters, with Cyber Dragon Infinity and Chimeratech Rampage Dragon as the closing threats; Recorded lines finish with Cybernetic Horizon into Cyberdark Claw, a two-card OTK-style conversion
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core to search a Cyber spell or trap, then use Cyber Dragon Core or Cyber Dragon Nachster to bring out a Cyber Dragon and build a Link or Xyz board
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Droll and Lock Bird as hand traps, then rebuild through Cyber Dragon Nachster and Cyberdark Realm
• Recovery: Cyberdark Realm and Cyber Emergency recover a starter from the Deck, and Cybernetic Overflow rebuilds from the Graveyard
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists in this list

Why it scores here

This list cannot receive a normal score because it is illegal: Maxx C is run twice against a limit of one, and Called by the Grave is a Forbidden card, so the result below is structural only and capped low. The structure itself is real: the Cyber Dragon core is three copies with about a 32 percent chance of at least one in a five-card opening hand, the searcher text is nearly always reachable, and the three recorded boards all reach a high power index with four or more boss monsters on the end board. The deck is weak as a system because its recorded output is thin, all three boards have unknown gameplay, and no recorded line shows a second independent starter, so a single interruption can end the turn. Popularity of the archetype and the guides' OTK claims did not earn points, and the score was not built by averaging individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: illegal_list_cap (-29); no Side Deck (-3). Final formula: Illegal list: capped to a structural-only score of 30 (structural 59 with Combo weights; normal 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability not applied). Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.32 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.09 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex 100, median 100, board-per-starter 6
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Three Cyber Dragon starters give a usable opening rate
• Interaction is broad: 11 hand traps and 12 negation-text cards
• Recorded boards reach boss-level end boards with 4 or more monsters
• Graveyard recursion from Cyberdark Realm and Cyber Emergency helps recover

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Maxx C is over the copy limit and Called by the Grave is Forbidden
• Only three recorded boards, all with unknown gameplay, so the median is not reliable
• Only one starter route is recorded, so interruption continuity is weak
• 26 percent exact archetype purity and 14 tech cards dilute the engine
• No side deck

Critical choke points

• A single hand trap or Ash Blossom on the first Cyber Dragon starter ends most lines
• Cyber Dragon Core and Cybernetic Horizon are needed for the recorded two-card conversion

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is 42 Main and 15 Extra, within the Master Duel size rules; Maxx C is over the copy limit: 2 run, 1 allowed; Called by the Grave is Forbidden in Master Duel; No side deck is registered
• Observed: Three recorded boards: best and median power index 100, board per starter median 6; Average 4.33 interaction density across recorded boards; Average 8 cards in Graveyard and 2.7 banished, 0.33 in hand at end
• Inferred: Cyber Dragon starter opening probability about 0.32 with three copies; Archetype core group opening probability about 0.91; Interaction and interruption estimates from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample exists; Matchup fit and format fit are provisional
• Data gaps: No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup, or OTK rates Recorded boards have unknown gameplay, so Master Duel-specific behavior is unverified No side deck is registered
