Cyberdark Deck #768966 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±5 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Cyber Dragon / Cyber fusion and link boards (Chimeratech Rampage, Cyber Eternity, Cyber Dragon Sieger) built from Cyber Dragon Core, Cyber Emergency and Cyberdark Realm searches; Kaiju and Therion boards (Jizukiru, Therion King Regulus) reached through hand-trap and negation-supported Normal Summons
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core to search a Cyber Spell/Trap, then Cyberdark Realm or Cyber Emergency to reach a Fusion or Link Summon (Inferred, not a verified combo line)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Infinite Impermanence for the opponent's first Normal Summon or Spell, then rebuild through Cyber Dragon Herz and Nachster (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recur Cyber Dragon monsters from the GY through Cyber Repair Plant, Cyber Dragon Nova and Cyber Dragon Herz (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck can reliably open a Cyber Dragon starter: P(at least one copy of a 3-copy card in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.25 and searcher text covers about 96% of hands, so the engine is accessible but not guaranteed (Inferred). Conversion relies on Cyber Dragon Core, Cyberdark Realm and Cyber Emergency reaching Fusion and Link Summons, and the 14-card Extra Deck gives real board options. Interaction density is high (8 hand traps, 18 negation-text cards, 16 removal-text cards), which supports resilience, but no recorded boards exist, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inferences. The score is capped at 30 because the list is illegal (Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2). Popularity was not credited: the archetype core inclusion stats only show that the list is recognizable, and the deck's sub-archetype spread (12.9% exact-name purity) was judged on the whole system, not by averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo 100% (Midrange shown for reference only; no blend applied). Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal copy limit (-8); Banlist exposure (-2); Unresolved passcode (-1). Final formula: Illegal deck: uncapped 0.80·54 + 0.20·40 = 51.2, capped to 30 as a theoretical/structural-only score per the legality guardrail. Meta Power provisional/null.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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 searcher coverage (25 searcher-text cards) reduces the chance of a dead opening hand
• Multiple hand traps and negation effects give layered interaction
• Large Extra Deck with Fusion, Link and Xyz options gives board flexibility

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is over the copy limit
• Low exact-archetype purity (12.9%) and 61 off-archetype copies weaken engine coherence
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability

Critical choke points

• Cyber Dragon Core and Cyber Dragon enablers are needed for most Fusion and Link lines
• Chimeratech Fortress Dragon and Chimeratech Megafleet Dragon need Cyber Dragon monsters in GY or Deck, so a disrupted GY stops the line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is over the copy limit (3 vs 2); Main 56, Extra 14, Side 0 within OCG size rules; Extra Deck breakdown: 7 Fusion, 5 Link, 2 Xyz; Exact-archetype purity 12.9% (9 of 70 copies)
• Observed: Archetype core inclusion stats show Cyber Dragon Core, Therion King Regulus and Cyber Emergency as common among Cyberdark lists
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probability and brick estimates from hypergeometric draw odds; Combo ceiling and turn-1 and turn-2 plans from card text; Interaction resilience from hand-trap and negation text counts
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) no Side Deck present, so D12 cannot be measured one CardIDList passcode (10443957) unresolved Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
