Cyber Dragon Deck #759653 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±12 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 53 / Extra 19 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra-Deck Cyber Dragon boss monsters (Cyber Dragon Nova, Cyber Dragon Infinity, Chimeratech Rampage Dragon) built from a Cyber Dragon starter chain; Infinitrack and Cyberdark follow-up boards, with Chronomaly Vimana and Cyber End Dragon as additional Extra-Deck threats
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Cyber Dragon Core, Cyber Emergency, or Pot of Sloth for draw and searches, use Cyber Dragon / Cyber Dragon Herz / Nachster to bridge into Cyber Dragon Nova or Infinity, and hold Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence for the opponent's first interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Open with hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Belle) to stop the opponent's first search or summon, then rebuild a Cyber Dragon board through Core and the Cyber searchers
• Recovery: Recurse Cyber Dragons from the GY through Cyber Dragon Nova, Cyber Dragon Infinity, and Cyberdark Realm / Cyberdark Claw GY-add effects; Cybernetic Overflow can destroy opposing cards after banishing Cyber Dragons
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck has 0 Side Deck cards and no post-side data exists

Why it scores here

The score comes from the deck as a system, not from averaging its cards: the Cyber Dragon core (Core, Cyber Dragon x2, Herz, Nachster, Nova, Infinity) is redundant enough to reach a live engine in most openings, and the 21-copy archetype core has an estimated ~93% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred). Interaction is dense, with 10 hand traps and about 16 negation-text cards plus Chimeratech and Cyber Dragon Infinity effects, which supports the end-board score. The list is penalized because it is illegal as built: Ash Blossom is at 3 copies against a limit of 2, Droll & Lock Bird is at 2 against 1, and Triple Tactics Talent and Crossout Designator are Forbidden, while the Extra Deck holds 19 cards against a 15-card maximum. The brick rate is high (~7% of 5-card hands with no archetype core card, plus 25 Spells and no Side Deck), and no combo boards, tournament record, or metagame sample exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference. Popularity and archetype usage stats were not used to raise any dimension, and the structural result was capped at 30 under the Illegal-deck rule.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Toolbox secondary used only as a context note, not as a weight blend. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); extra_deck_over_limit_and_copy_violations (-6). Final formula: Theoretical Final = 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + modifiers(-12) = 39; Illegal-deck cap applied -> score 30 (structural-only, not a normal Final Contextual score). Meta provisional.

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

• Redundant Cyber Dragon starter package with 3 Cyber Dragon Core, 2 Cyber Dragon, Herz and Nachster
• High archetype core presence (~93% at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, Inferred)
• Layered interaction: 10 hand traps, Cybernetic Overflow, Lightning Storm and Harpie's Feather Duster
• Extra Deck closers (Cyber Dragon Nova, Cyber Dragon Infinity, Chimeratech Rampage) with GY recursion routes

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: copy-limit violations and two Forbidden cards in the Main Deck
• Extra Deck of 19 exceeds the 15-card limit
• Zero Side Deck cards, so no post-side adaptation
• High brick and narrow-card density: 25 Spells, 15 tech, 10 hand traps
• Low exact-name archetype purity (23.6%); the engine spans Cyber, Cyberdark, Infinitrack and Greed sub-archetypes

Critical choke points

• Cyber Dragon Core / Cyber Dragon starter access, since most lines need one of the Cyber Dragon bridge monsters
• Legality: the list cannot be played in TCG until the four violations and the Extra Deck overage are fixed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 53, Extra 19, Side 0 counts; Extra Deck exceeds the 15-card limit; Triple Tactics Talent and Crossout Designator are Forbidden in TCG and both are in the Main Deck; Ash Blossom at 3 copies (legal 2), Droll & Lock Bird at 2 (legal 1); Archetype core group: 21 copies, P(>=1 in hand5) = 0.9298
• Inferred: Cyber Dragon engine accessibility is high because of starter redundancy; Brick rate about 7% for 5-card hands with no archetype core card; Interaction density is high from the hand-trap and negation text; Ceiling and closing power are read from card text, not recorded boards
• Provisional: Meta Power is null, and matchup fit (D13) is neutral because no dated metagame sample or tournament link exists
• 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 are absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN: going-first/second, matchup and brick/starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied The deck has no title (title null), no guides were attached, and no Side Deck cards exist
