Cyberdark Deck #770115 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 40/100 (±12 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Toolbox
• 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: Cyber Dragon Nova, Cyber Eternity Dragon and Chimeratech Rampage Dragon boards built from Cyber Dragon and Machine fusion or xyz chains, with the Chimeratech and Cyberdark Chimera lines feeding the Extra Deck.; Therion King Regulus and Sky Striker Ace Azalea as board and link pressure once a Cyber Dragon engine is live.
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core to add a Cyber spell or trap, use Cyber Emergency or Cybernetic Horizon to reach the Cyber Dragon and Cyberdark pieces, then extend into a Fusion or Link Summon.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence and Ghost Ogre to break the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild with the Cyber Dragon chain.
• Recovery: Cyberdark Claw and Cyberdark Realm recover Cyberdark monsters from the GY, and Cyber Dragon Herz and Cyber Dragon Core can re-enter the Cyber Dragon line.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no side deck, so no post-side plan is available.

Why it scores here

The deck is a Cyber Dragon and Cyberdark shell with 22 searcher-text cards, so P(at least one searcher in an opening 5) is about 0.92 (Inferred), but the Cyber Dragon Core starter alone is live in only about 0.24 of openings (Inferred). Interaction is dense, with 12 hand traps and 15 negation-text cards, including three Ash Blossom and two Droll and Lock Bird, and a going-second hand-trap estimate of about 0.78 (Inferred). No recorded boards exist, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inferences and carry low confidence. The score is capped because four cards break OCG copy or Forbidden rules, and the deck has no side deck, so it is labeled theoretical and structural only. Popularity of the core cards was not used to raise the score, and no card scores were averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); weak post-side plan (-2). Final formula: Illegal cap: uncapped 0.80*Structural(53) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(50) + modifiers(-8) = 44, capped to 40 (theoretical/structural-only; 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

• Searcher density (22 searcher-text cards) makes at least one searcher in an opening hand very likely
• Layered hand-trap and negation coverage (12 hand traps, 15 negation-text cards)
• Coherent Extra Deck with Cyber Dragon Nova, Cyber Eternity Dragon and Chimeratech Rampage Dragon boards

Weaknesses

• Four copy-limit or Forbidden violations make the list illegal in OCG
• Zero side deck cards
• Low compactness with 16 tech cards and no median-output data

Critical choke points

• Cyber Dragon Core live in hand 5 only about 0.24 of the time, so the engine depends on a few starters
• Forbidden and over-limit cards must be removed before the deck is playable

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: OCG legality violations: Ash Blossom 3 vs 2, Droll 2 vs 1, Called by the Grave and Triple Tactics Talent Forbidden; Main 57, Extra 14, Side 0 against OCG size rules 40-60, 0-15, 0-15; Card stats for Cyber Dragon Nova, Chimeratech Rampage Dragon, Cyber Eternity Dragon, Therion King Regulus and Magnamhut
• Inferred: Searcher and at-least-one probabilities from hypergeometric draws; Hand-trap availability on going second; Interaction density from card text flags; Pilotability from chain complexity
• Provisional: Matchup and meta fit (no dated metagame sample)
• Data gaps: Deck title is null No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No side deck supplied, so no post-side evidence One passcode in CardIDList could not be resolved and was counted as main usage statistics in this deck flags disagree with the resolved cards list for Cyber Dragon Nova, Chimeratech Fortress Dragon and Chimeratech Megafleet Dragon, which appear in the Extra Deck list No win-rate telemetry exists for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rate Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
