Cyber Dragon Deck #759651 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Combo
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 53 / Extra 19 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Cyber Dragon Nova / Chimeratech Rampage Dragon / Cyber Dragon Infinity boards, backed by Cyber Dragon Nachster and Cyber Dragon Herz for Special Summon density (Inferred); Cyber End Dragon and Chaos Angel as single-card closers from the Extra Deck (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core for a Cyber Spell/Trap, or open Cyber Emergency / Cyberdark Realm to reach a Cyber Dragon and extend into Nova or Rampage (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Belle, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru) to answer the opponent's first line, then rebuild through Cyber Dragon Nachster or Core (Inferred)
• Recovery: Cyber Dragon and Cyber Dragon Herz from the GY; Cyber Dragon Core banish; Cybernetic Horizon and Cyberdark Realm to re-search (Inferred)
• After siding: Not available: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan. The Forbidden and over-limit cards must be removed before the list can be played.

Why it scores here

The list cannot be scored as legal. It has four copy-limit violations (including two Forbidden cards), a 19-card Extra Deck against a 15-card cap, and no Side Deck, so the score is capped and labelled theoretical/structural only. Within that cap, the Main Deck is a reasonable Cyber Dragon shell: 17 exact-name Cyber Dragon cards, 21 archetype-core copies (about a 93% chance of at least one in a five-card hand, Inferred), and 20 searcher-text cards. Its Extra Deck gives it real closing power through Cyber Dragon Nova, Chimeratech Rampage Dragon, Chaos Angel and Cyber End Dragon. It is held down by exact-name purity of only 23.6%, because most of the Main Deck is off-archetype staples and tech. There is no combo, tournament or matchup data, so median output, floor and meta fit remain provisional. The score reflects the system (consistency, interaction, closing power) and not an average of card scores, and it does not reflect the popularity of the archetype.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Toolbox secondary; disclosed as an approximate blend. Structural ≈ 46.8, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); no side deck (-4); illegal list cap (-3). Final formula: No reliable metagame, so Meta is provisional: 0.80*46.8 + 0.20*40 = 45.4 before modifiers. Modifiers total -12 (banlist exposure -8, no Side Deck -4), giving 33.4. The Illegal status caps the result to 30 and labels it theoretical/structural only.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.93 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.07 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Strong archetype core (21 copies) with good chance of a live starter by T1
• Multiple hand traps and negation text give layered answers on the opponent's first turn
• Extra Deck closers at high ATK (Chaos Angel, Cyber End Dragon, Nova, Rampage) make the end-board threatening

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: two Forbidden cards, two over-limit copies, and an Extra Deck of 19 against a cap of 15
• Low exact-name purity (23.6%) and heavy off-archetype spread lower engine coherence
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan at all
• No combo, tournament, or matchup data, so median and meta claims are provisional

Critical choke points

• Cyber Dragon Core and the Cyber Spell/Trap search chain: several starters depend on Core or Emergency
• Extra Deck summons rely on Cyber Dragon materials, so losing the Cyber Dragon bodies to a single sweep stops the Extra Deck plan
• Forbidden cards (Triple Tactics Talent, Crossout Designator) occupy slots that cannot be played in any legal list

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Four copy-limit violations and an Extra Deck of 19 (legality check); Triple Tactics Talent and Crossout Designator are Forbidden; Archetype purity 23.6%; 21 archetype-core copies; Main Deck 53, Side Deck 0
• Inferred: Starter probability: 0.93 for archetype core in a 5-card hand; Interaction density and hand-trap coverage from card text; Midrange-with-Toolbox read from composition and text roles; Structural 46.8 from dimension weights
• Provisional: Meta fit (D13) and Meta Power (null); Median and floor output (D4) without recorded boards
• 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/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) No Side Deck supplied, so post-side adaptability cannot be evaluated Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
