Cyber Dragon Deck #770114 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Tempo
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion, Link and Xyz boards built from Cyber Dragon and Cyberdark Machine monsters (Cyber Eternity Dragon, Chimeratech Rampage Dragon, Cyber Dragon Sieger, Cyber Dragon Nova), closing with 2100+ ATK boss monsters; Hand-trap and negation-based interaction (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Ogre, Nibiru) that keeps the opponent from establishing a board so the Extra Deck boss can attack
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core to add a Cyber Spell/Trap (Cyber Emergency or Cybernetic Horizon), then build toward a Cyber Dragon Fusion or Link from the hand and Deck; Cyber Dragon Herz and Nachster provide the bodies
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Infinite Impermanence and Nibiru to answer the opponent's first summon or search, then use Cyberdark Realm and Clockwork Night to rebuild a Machine board
• Recovery: Searchers (22 searcher-text cards) and Cyber Dragon Core / Cyberdark Claw recursion rebuild the starter from the GY and Deck; Cyberdark Wurm and Cyber Dragon Nachster can be special-summoned from the GY
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan to evaluate

Why it scores here

The deck's consistency rests on a real Cyber Dragon core: the archetype-core group has about a 71% chance of at least one core card in the 5-card opening hand, and 22 searcher-text cards give a 92% chance of at least one searcher, which supports a moderate engine score (Inferred). Interaction is the strongest part of the system, with 12 hand traps and 15 negation-text cards, so the deck can answer the opponent's first summon or search (Inferred from card text). Extra Deck access is broad (Fusion, Link and Xyz boss options), which drives the offense score. The score is not raised by Cyber Dragon's popularity or by the individual strength of its cards; it reflects the system as a whole. The deck has no recorded combo boards, so floor and median output are text-inferred and deliberately held down. The legality failure (Forbidden and over-limit cards) caps the final score, so this is a structural read only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal list cap (-12); Unresolved passcode (-4). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(54) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 51, then context modifiers -16 to 35 (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.24 · 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

• Broad interaction suite: hand traps plus negation and removal text across 12 to 17 cards
• Large Extra Deck coverage of Fusion, Link and Xyz boss options
• Redundant searchers (22) that keep the starter reachable

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: four copy-limit or Forbidden violations
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Heavy reliance on 2-3 copy staples and Level-0 spell/trap slots that can brick
• Unresolved passcode leaves one slot unverified

Critical choke points

• Cyber Dragon Core and Cyber Emergency access for the Cyber starter
• Forbidden Called by the Grave and Triple Tactics Talent cannot be run in OCG

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 4 violations (Ash Blossom 3/2, Droll 2/1, Called by the Grave Forbidden, Triple Tactics Talent Forbidden); Main 57 / Extra 14 / Side 0 within OCG size rules; Card stats and text for resolved cards (Cyber Dragon Core, Chimeratech Rampage Dragon, Cyber Eternity Dragon, etc.); Archetype usage stats: 8 of 18 core cards present
• Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities (hypergeometric, Main Deck only); Interaction density from role tags and card text; Midrange strategy classification from composition and text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13); Floor and median output (no combo evidence)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent One passcode in CardIDList (10443957) could not be resolved and was counted as Main No win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample No Side Deck, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
