Cyber Dragon Deck #768880 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 53/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status: Legal with warning.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion, Synchro and Link beaters: Cyber End Dragon (4000 ATK, piercing), Chaos Angel (3500), Jizukiru (3300) and Therion King Regulus (2800), reached through Cyber Dragon / Machine material (Inferred from card text); Interaction-led attrition (Raigeki, Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster, Forbidden Droplet) that clears the board before the Extra Deck threats land
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Cyber Dragon Core (Normal Summon searches a Cyber Spell/Trap), Mulcharmy Fuwalos or Cyber Dragon Herz; use Cyber Emergency / Cybernetic Horizon / Cyber Repair Plant to find a Cyber Dragon or Machine monster as Fusion or Link material; keep Ash Blossom and Ghost Belle as responses (Inferred from text, no recorded boards)
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with a 68% chance of at least one hand trap (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru) to answer the opponent's first board, then Raigeki / Lightning Storm or a Fusion/Link follow-up (Inferred)
• Recovery: Cyber Dragon GY recursion (Cyber Dragon Herz, Cyber Dragon Nachster, Cyber Revsystem, Cyberdark Claw, Cybernetic Overflow) and Clockwork Night / Clockwork Knight searches to rebuild after a hand trap or a board wipe (Inferred)
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no recorded post-side plan; a best-of-3 OCG deck has no sideboard adjustment against Limited or Semi-Limited-era matchups

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a starter: the archetype core group has about a 78% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opener, and 25 searcher-text cards give redundant access to the Cyber Dragon and Machine engine (Inferred from probabilities). Its interaction suite is the strongest part of the system, with 10 hand traps, 15 negation-text cards and 18 removal-text cards, which lets it answer a first board and then reach Cyber End Dragon, Chaos Angel or Jizukiru. The ceiling and median are not measured because no boards were recorded, so the combo scores are text-only Inferred reads. The score comes from consistency, interaction and Extra Deck coverage across the whole system, not from averaging the card scores. Popularity did not add points: the core is only 50% present and exact-name purity is 24.3%, and the deck has no Side Deck, which caps the structural result.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox 80 / Midrange 20 (approximate; Toolbox weights used directly for Structural). Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-3); banlist exposure (-2); unverified card (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); 0.80*60 + 0.20*55 - 6 = 53

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.78 · 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

• Dense interaction: 10 hand traps, 15 negation-text and 18 removal-text cards
• Redundant searchers (25 cards) and multiple starter options for the Cyber Dragon core
• Strong Extra Deck coverage across Fusion, Link, Synchro and Xyz with high-impact beaters

Weaknesses

• No Side Deck in a best-of-3 OCG format
• Low archetype purity (24.3%) suggests diffuse engine coherence
• No recorded boards, so combo ceiling and median are text-only

Critical choke points

• Cyber Dragon Core copies (3) and Cyber Emergency copies (3) as the search and starter gateway
• Single-copy Fusion and Link enablers (Cyber Dragon Sieger, Cyber Dragon Nova) that depend on Cyber Dragon material
• Semi-Limited Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring as one of the main hand-trap answers

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 60 / Extra 14 / Side 0 within OCG size rules; Limited: Harpie's Feather Duster 1 copy, S:P Little Knight 1 copy; Semi-Limited: Ash Blossom 2 copies, all at legal counts; Extra Deck breakdown: 8 Fusion, 1 Synchro, 4 Link, 1 Xyz; Exact-name purity 24.3% and archetype spread; Usage stats: 23 rows, 9 of 18 core cards present
• Inferred: Starter access: about 78% at least one archetype core card in a 5-card opener; Hand-trap availability: about 68% at least one in a 6-card hand going second; Toolbox primary strategy from interaction, searcher and off-archetype density; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no tournament link, no dated metagame sample); Floor and median output (no combos recorded)
• 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 passcode 10443957 could not be resolved and is counted as main no win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample no Side Deck: post-side performance cannot be assessed no guides for the archetype
