Cyber Dragon Deck #768882 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 34/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Boards built on Cyber Dragon / Cyber Dragon Nova / Cyber Dragon Sieger, K9-X Werewolf and Chimeratech Rampage Dragon, reached through Normal Summon searchers and Extra Deck summons (Inferred from text); Piercing and direct damage from K9-X Ripper/M and K9-X Werewolf, plus Cyberdark Chimera and Power Bond fusion pressure (Inferred from text)
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core or K9 Level 5 monsters, search via Cyber Emergency, Cyberdark Realm or A Case for K9, then build an Xyz or Link from the Extra Deck (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 12 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence, Solemn cards) to stop the opponent's first board, then play through on the second main phase (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover through the 22 searcher-text cards, Cyber Dragon Nachster and Cyberdark Wurm recursion, and Chronomaly Vimana or K9-17 Ripper revival from the GY (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and K9-17 Izuna are each run three times against an OCG limit of two, so it is scored only as a theoretical, structural read. The main deck spreads across at least seven sub-archetypes (Cyber Dragon, K9, Cyberdark, Solemn, Qli, Sky Striker, Skyblaster, Therion, Chronomaly, Bystial), with exact-name purity at only 17.1% and 27 generic cards, so engine coherence is the main weakness. Hand-trap density (12 hand traps, 0.78 chance of at least one in a six-card going-second hand) and 22 searcher-text cards give the deck a reasonable chance to interrupt and rebuild, and the Extra Deck of 14 offers Xyz, Link and Fusion access. No combo boards, tournament share or win-rate data exist, so the score rests on the composition and card text, and the ceiling and median are both unmeasured. The score was not derived by averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary; Midrange secondary (disclosed; structural weights taken from Toolbox row). Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violations (-8); Engine conflicts across sub-archetypes (-2). Final formula: Theoretical only (Illegal list): 0.80*Structural(46.45) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) + ContextModifiers(-10) = 34; Meta Power provisional, not used

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.22 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• 12 hand traps and 17 negate-text cards give going-second interaction breadth
• 22 searcher-text cards and 14 Extra Deck cards across Xyz, Link and Fusion give flexible access
• High end-board ATK and piercing from K9-X Werewolf and K9-X Ripper/M

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy-limit violations on two Semi-Limited cards
• Low archetype purity (17.1% exact name) and 27 generic slots dilute the engine
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation

Critical choke points

• Cyber Dragon Core and Cyber Emergency access depends on the Normal Summon of a Level 2 monster
• K9 Xyz plays depend on a K9 Level 5 monster reaching the field first
• An unresolved passcode in the Main Deck (10443957) makes the list unverifiable

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and K9-17 Izuna at 3 copies vs OCG limit 2; Main 56, Extra 14, Side 0 within size rules; Archetype purity 17.1% exact-name; 27 generic copies; No Side Deck; no combos, guides or tournament link
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter, brick and hand-trap probabilities; Structural dimension scores from card text and composition; Primary strategy Toolbox from role tags and multi-archetype spread
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup and format fit
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and match record absent One Main Deck passcode (10443957) could not be resolved and was counted as main No win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
