Cyberdark Deck #768974 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 53 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Cyberdark or Cyber Dragon boss monsters (Cyberdark End Dragon, Cyber End Dragon) from the Extra Deck, enabled by Cyber Dragon Core, Cyberdark Realm and Cybernetic Horizon searches (Inferred); Link and Xyz pressure through Cyber Dragon Sieger, Cyber Dragon Nova and Mereologic Aggregator, with Power Bond for a one-card burst (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core to search a Cyber card, then use Cyberdark Realm or Cyber Emergency to fetch a Cyberdark or Cyber Dragon piece and go to a Fusion or Link route (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and Solemn Judgment to slow the opponent's first Summon or search, then rebuild through Cyber Dragon and Cyberdark searches (Inferred)
• Recovery: Cyberdark Chimera and Cyberdark Edge recur Dragon and Machine monsters from the GY, and Cyber Dragon Core and Cyber Pharos recover Cyber Dragon targets (Inferred)
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the list cannot be adjusted between games in a best-of-three

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal in OCG as submitted: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2, and the Extra Deck holds 16 cards against a maximum of 15, so per the rubric it is capped and scored as a structural-only read. Its engine is real but partly diluted: the core Cyberdark and Cyber Dragon cards appear with reasonable copies, and P(at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.74 (Inferred). Interaction is the strongest part of the system, with 9 hand traps, 8 negation-text cards, Solemn Judgment, Droll & Lock Bird and Ash Blossom providing layered protection that sits well alongside the engine (Inferred). Floor and median output cannot be measured because no recorded boards exist, so the combo scores come only from card-text reading and are low-confidence; the deck has no Side Deck and a 23% exact archetype purity, so its adaptability and matchup fit score poorly. The score was not raised by Cyberdark's popularity (the archetype-core inclusion data only confirms the list is accessible) and no card scores were averaged into the result.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo profile used as primary; no separate secondary weight applied. Structural ≈ 53.3, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Illegal copy limit (Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies vs 2) (-6); Extra Deck oversize (16 vs 15) (-3); Banlist exposure (Solemn Judgment, Droll & Lock Bird, Bystial Magnamhut at Limited) (-3); Illegal-deck cap (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*53.3 + 0.20*42 = 51.0; modifiers -12 gives 39.0; Illegal-deck cap applied gives 35 (structural-only read)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.74 · 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

• Layered interaction: 9 hand traps, 8 negation-text cards and Solemn Judgment
• Multiple searchers (23 searcher-text cards) support consistent access to engine pieces
• High-ceiling Extra Deck boss monsters (Cyberdark End Dragon, Cyber End Dragon)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: Ash Blossom over copy limit and Extra Deck oversize
• Low exact archetype purity (23.2%) with many off-archetype cards
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No recorded boards, so floor and median output are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Cyber Dragon Core and the Cyber Dragon searches are the main engine starters; their absence stalls most lines
• Fusion routes depend on Polymerization, Cybernetic Horizon and Power Bond, which are single-copy or two-copy cards

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom copies 3 vs legal 2; Extra Deck size 16 vs maximum 15; Banlist: Solemn Judgment, Droll & Lock Bird, Bystial Magnamhut Limited; Exact archetype purity 23.2%; No Side Deck registered
• Inferred: Engine accessibility P(≥1 archetype-core in hand5) ≈ 0.74; Interaction quality from negation and removal text; Going-second hand-trap coverage P(≥1 hand trap in hand6) ≈ 0.69; Combo ceiling from text reading of Cyberdark End Dragon and Cyber End Dragon routes
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and format fit (D13)
• 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 One passcode in CardIDList (card_id 10443957) could not be resolved and is counted as main No Side Deck registered; post-side plan cannot be evaluated No win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second results are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
