Cyber Dragon Deck #752013 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 46/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 50 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Summon a large Machine boss (Cyber End Dragon 4000 ATK, Chimeratech Rampage 2100 ATK, or Borreload Savage Dragon 3000 ATK) through a Cyber Dragon starter chain, with Power Bond as the ATK and damage spike; Link and Xyz pressure from Mecha Phantom Beast Auroradon, Infinitrack River Stormer and Cyber Dragon Infinity (not in this list) to finish off a stalled board
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core to add a Cyber Spell/Trap (Cybernetic Overflow, Power Bond, Cyber Emergency, Clockwork Night), then use Cyber Dragon or Cyber Dragon Herz for a Machine Fusion or Link line; the T1 starter is only about 28 percent live
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird or Maxx C to protect the first starter, then convert the turn with Cyber Dragon special summons, Cybernetic Horizon and Future Fusion Nova into Fusion pressure
• Recovery: Rebuild from searchers (about 22 searcher-text copies) and Cyber Dragon Core recursion, banishing Cyber Dragons from the GY to Cyber Dragon Nova (not in this list) or Cyberdark Wurm to re-enter the board
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan in the evidence; Inferred, not scored from performance data

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional plan on a modest but real rate: Cyber Dragon Core is live in the opening five only about 28 percent of the time, but the 22 searcher-text copies and the 26-copy Cyber core group give a high chance of at least one searcher, which is what carries the engine. Conversion is the strongest part of the system, since the Cyber End Dragon, Chimeratech and Borreload finishers and Power Bond give a real closing spike, and the interaction density of about 14 negation and 12 removal text effects plus Crossout Designator and Forbidden Crown makes the end board hard to answer. Brick risk is the main weakness: 9 hand traps and 11 tech cards plus 17 singleton slots mean many hands are dead or conflicting, and the guides themselves describe a single hand trap as a dead hand. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype usage data only shows that this list is real and accessible, the evidence has no combo boards and no tournament or win-rate data, and the score was built from the deck's system rather than by averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary; Midrange not blended into the weights (weights taken from the Combo profile only). Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-1); hard-garnet burden (-3); engine conflicts (-3); weak post-side plan (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); 0.80*55 + 0.20*48 = 53.6, then modifiers -8 gives 45.6, rounded to 46

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.28 · 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

• Searcher density (22 searcher-text copies) gives high odds of finding a searcher
• Strong interaction density across negation and removal text
• Large finishers and Power Bond give a real closing spike
• Fusion, Link and Xyz routes give multiple finishing options

Weaknesses

• 9 hand traps and 11 tech cards produce dead and conflicting hands
• Cyber Dragon Core is live in the opening five only about 28 percent of the time
• 21.5 percent exact-archetype purity suggests route fragmentation
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No combo boards or tournament data to confirm the median output

Critical choke points

• Cyber Dragon Core or Cyber Dragon as the first starter
• Power Bond's LP cost and the End Phase damage
• Machine-lock conflicts between Cyber and non-Machine Extra Deck cards

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 50 and Extra 15 are within the master-duel size rules; Crossout Designator, Maxx C and Droll and Lock Bird are at or below their legal copy limits; Card text for all 29 main and 14 Extra distinct cards; Archetype usage: Cyber Dragon Core, Cyber Emergency and Cyberdark Claw at 100 percent inclusion
• Observed: Usage statistics show the list runs most of the archetype-standard core, including 16 of 25 core cards
• Inferred: Starter access (about 28 percent T1 Core in hand) and brick rate from the hypergeometric draw table; Interaction and closing power read from card text; The OTK and median claims from guide text
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample and no tournament link; Post-side plan: no side deck registered
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry (going first or second, matchup, brick or starter rates) Meta power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck registered, so post-side performance cannot be assessed guide text dates are not given, so guide claims about the current meta may be stale
