Cyber Dragon Deck #770327 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 53/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Tempo
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 41 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status: Legal with warning.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Cyber Dragon starter chains into Fusion, Link and Xyz bosses (Chimeratech Rampage Dragon x3, Cyber Eternity Dragon, Cyber Dragon Nova) and Power Bond burst; community guides describe an OTK route that is not verified by any recorded board.; Cyberdark and Cyber Dragon Machine recursion (Cyberdark Claw, Cyber Dragon Herz, Cyberdark Wurm) and hand-trap disruption to trade into a board.
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core (3 copies) to search a Cyber spell/trap, then reach a Machine or Cyber Dragon starter and extend into a Link or Xyz boss.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Droll and Maxx C to answer the opponent's first board, then use Cyber Dragon bodies and Chimeratech Rampage Dragon as the follow-up engine.
• Recovery: Cyberdark Claw and Cyber Dragon Herz return cards from the GY, and the 21 searcher-text cards refill the hand.
• After siding: Not applicable: the list has 0 Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck opens reliably: 26 archetype-core copies give a 0.996 chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, and 21 searcher-text cards give 0.979 for at least one searcher (both Inferred from the hypergeometric draw table). Its conversion ceiling is credited from text and community guides rather than from recorded boards, because the combo evidence is empty and the guides describe an OTK route that is unverified. Interaction is layered across 8 hand traps, plus Crossout Designator, Cybernetic Overflow and Therion King Regulus, so the score is earned by the system and not by averaging card scores. Brick and pilot-complexity risk is substantial: the Extra Deck holds 14 cards across Fusion, Link and Xyz with three engine conflicts (Cyberdark, Chronomaly, Therion, Sky Striker), and the 0 Side Deck count leaves no post-side plan. Popularity earned no points: the guides call the deck not strong enough for the current meta, and the missing-core usage data is internally inconsistent, so no points come from archetype representation. The score is Low confidence and sits in a 43 to 63 band.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional): 0.80*58.09 + 0.20*50 = 56.47, minus 3 modifier = 53.47, rounded to 53

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.33 · 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 archetype core (26 copies) and searcher text (21 cards) give high access to the starter
• 8 hand traps and several negate or removal cards give layered interaction
• Multiple Extra Deck closing bodies (Rampage Dragon x3, Cyber Eternity Dragon, Heosvarog)

Weaknesses

• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unverified
• 0 Side Deck cards means no post-side adaptability
• Engine conflicts across Cyberdark, Cyber Dragon and Chronomaly pieces
• One unresolved passcode (10443957) counted as a Main Deck card

Critical choke points

• Going-second hand-trap availability (~0.75 with 8 hand traps in 6 cards)
• Cyber Dragon Core as the Normal Summon starter (3 copies, ~0.33 per 5-card hand)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 41 cards and Extra Deck 14 cards, inside the Master Duel size rules; Restricted cards Maxx C (Limited, 1 copy), Crossout Designator (Limited, 1 copy) and Droll and Lock Bird (Semi-Limited, 2 copies) are run at their legal limits; Extra Deck breakdown 7 Fusion, 5 Link, 2 Xyz; Archetype purity 25.5% exact name
• Observed: Three community guides exist, and they describe the deck as strong on OTK but weak in the current meta
• Inferred: Starter access 0.996 (archetype core) and 0.979 (searchers); Going-second hand-trap availability ~0.75; Brick and pilot-complexity risk from 14 Extra Deck cards and engine conflicts
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13); Post-side plan (no Side Deck)
• Data gaps: Unresolved passcode 10443957 (counted as Main Deck; the usage-stat ref 10443958 is Cyber Dragon Infinity but this is not confirmed) usage_statistics missing_core lists Clockwork Knight, Cyber Dragon Sieger, Cyber Dragon Nova, Cyber Eternity Dragon, Chimeratech Megafleet Dragon, Chimeratech Fortress Dragon, Heosvarog and Sky Striker Ace - Azalea as absent, yet the deck's Extra Deck contains all of them; the usage matcher is inconsistent and was not relied on no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and OTK rates) exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
