Cyber Dragon Deck #766557 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 55/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Tempo, Fusion, Xyz, Link
• Format: duel-links

Legality

Main 31 / Extra 8 / Side 0 — status: Legal with warning.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Cyber Dragon bodies and Extra Deck finishers (Cyber End Dragon 4000 ATK with piercing, Chimeratech Rampage and Megafleet, Cyber Dragon Nova, Jizukiru 3300 ATK) overwhelming the opponent's field; Forbidden Droplet and hand traps (Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru) disrupt the opponent until a Cyber Dragon board closes the game
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core or Cyber Jormungardr to search, use Cyber Dragon Nachster or Herz for bodies; Cyber Dragon itself is blocked on T1 because it needs an opponent monster
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru and Forbidden Droplet against the opponent's first summons, then summon Cyber Dragon and fuse or Xyz into the Extra Deck finishers
• Recovery: Cyber Repair Plant and Cyber Emergency rebuild from the GY and Deck; Cyber Dragon Nova and Cyberdark Realm add further searches
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck runs no side deck (side 0), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: its searchers (15 cards, about 97% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand) and its core Cyber archetype cards (about 99.9% chance of at least one in the opening hand) make the engine reliably start, while the three Cyber Dragon copies are a weaker access point (about 42% in a 5-card hand). It converts into pressure through Extra Deck finishers with high ATK and piercing, and it continues after disruption through GY recursion from Cyber Repair Plant and Cyber Emergency. Its interaction is real but layered (Forbidden Droplet x3, Droll & Lock Bird x3, Nibiru x2, with about 69% chance of at least one hand trap when going second), which lifts the going-second score. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype's 100% core inclusion confirms the list is standard, not that it is strong. No combo boards exist, so the ceiling and floor scores are text-based inference, and 23 off-archetype copies and a 31-card main deck with no side deck keep the score moderate.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 61.3, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: unrecoverable choke point (-2); engine conflicts (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.42 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.16 · 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: 15 searcher-text cards give about 97% chance of at least one in the opening 5 (Inferred from probabilities)
• Layered interaction: Forbidden Droplet x3, Droll & Lock Bird x3, Nibiru x2, plus negation text on 7 cards (Inferred)
• Finisher bodies: Cyber End Dragon 4000 ATK with piercing, Jizukiru 3300 ATK, Cyber Dragon 2100 ATK (card text verified)
• Core archetype saturation: 22 Cyber-family copies, about 99.9% chance of at least one in the opening 5 (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Legal with warning: main 31 is above the 20–30 main range in the evidence size rules
• Starter access: Cyber Dragon x3 is only about 42% in a going-first 5-card hand (Inferred)
• Engine conflicts: 23 off-archetype copies (Forbidden, Cyberdark, Kaiju, Chronomaly)
• No side deck (side 0), so no post-side plan
• One passcode (10443957) is unresolved and counted as main

Critical choke points

• Cyber Dragon needs an opponent monster to be summoned from hand, so going-first T1 has no summon
• Polymerization x1 (about 16% in a 5-card hand) gates Fusion access alongside Power Bond x1
