Cyber Dragon Deck #770409 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 56/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Fusion/Xyz/Link summon engine
• Format: duel-links

Legality

Main 31 / Extra 8 / Side 0 — status: Legal with warning.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Cyber End Dragon, Chimeratech Rampage / Megafleet Dragon, Cyber Dragon Nova, Jizukiru) reached through Cyber Dragon multi-summons and fusion/XYZ material; Cyber Dragon Nova XYZ recursion of Cyber Dragons from the GY, and Heosvarog as a late-game negate-and-searcher
• Turn 1 (going first): Search with Cyber Emergency or Cyber Dragon Core to find a Cyber monster, use Cyber Dragon Nachster / Herz to build material, then convert to a Fusion or XYZ boss; the 5-card hand gives only about 42% to hold a Cyber Dragon starter
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion, Forbidden Droplet or Book of Eclipse to answer the opponent's first board, then Special Summon Cyber Dragon from hand when the opponent controls a monster (per its card text) into a boss
• Recovery: Cyber Repair Plant recovers Cyber Dragons from the GY and Cyber Dragon Nova can Special Summon one back, so the GY acts as a second starter pool
• After siding: No sideboard is used in this Duel Links list (side count 0); there is no post-side plan to evaluate

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens into the Cyber Dragon engine: 13 archetype-named copies plus 13 searcher-text cards give a 95% chance of at least one searcher in the opening 5, and the 3-copy starters have about a 42% chance to be in the going-first hand and 49% going-second (Inferred from the hypergeometric table). Its conversion ceiling is high because the Extra Deck holds several fusion, XYZ and link bosses that the starters can feed, and the interaction suite (Droll & Lock Bird, the two Ghost tuners, Jizukiru, Regulus, Heosvarog and Forbidden Droplet) gives it multiple ways to answer a board. The score is held back by a 31-card main deck that is over the Duel Links 30-card limit used here, one unresolved passcode, the absence of recorded boards (so the floor and median are text-only inference), and no sideboard or dated meta sample. The score comes from consistency, ceiling and interaction on the system; the popularity of Cyber Dragon as an archetype and the individual card scores were not used.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 60.6, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: main deck size warning (-2); unresolved passcode (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + modifiers(-3) = 0.80*60.6 + 0.20*52 - 3 = 55.9, rounded to 56

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.42 · 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

• Cyber Dragon starters and searchers are redundant (3 Emergency, 2 Core, 2 Repair Plant)
• Broad negation and removal text across main-deck interaction
• High-ceiling Extra Deck bosses (Cyber End Dragon, Rampage, Megafleet, Nova)
• Multiple GY recovery routes through Repair Plant and Nova

Weaknesses

• Main deck is 31 cards, over the 30-card maximum in this format evidence
• No recorded boards, so the combo floor and median are unmeasured
• Only 42% to hold a 3-copy starter in a going-first 5-card hand
• Low exact-name purity (33%) reflects dependence on cross-archetype support

Critical choke points

• Cyber Dragon starters: 3 copies in main, but the going-first line depends on the Core / Emergency search, so the 5-card hand reliably finds one starter only about 42% of the time

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal with warning status and size warning (main 31 outside 20-30); All 39 cards are Unlimited and none are over the copy limit; Card text for Cyber Dragon (special summon when only the opponent controls a monster) and Cyber Dragon Core (normal summon adds a Cyber Spell/Trap); Extra Deck composition: 5 fusion, 2 XYZ, 1 link
• Inferred: going-first and going-second hand probabilities (hypergeometric, main deck only); interaction density from negation and removal text flags; engine accessibility and brick risk; ceiling and median from text only, not from recorded boards
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated sample); format fit (no tournament link); post-side plan (no sideboard in Duel Links)
• 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 1 passcode (10443957) in CardIDList could not be resolved to a card and is counted as main usage_statistics missing_core lists Nova, Rampage, Heosvarog, Cyber End Dragon, Megafleet and Little Knight as absent, but all six are present in the Extra Deck; the zone filter appears to count main deck only, so core_present_pct 61.9 is understated (about 19 of 21 present) no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; going-first and going-second performance is Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
