Cyber Dragon Deck #770529 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Tempo
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Drytron Meteonis Draconids (5000 ATK) and Underworld Goddess of the Closed World (3000 ATK) via Drytron Ritual/Xyz/Link chains; Borrelsword Dragon and Super Starslayer TY-PHON - Sky Crisis as extra-deck closers
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Drytron-searching starter (Cyber Emergency, Manju, Drytron Zeta/Alpha/Nu II) and convert into Drytron Ritual and Link extenders; depends on finding one of 9 Drytron/searcher-type cards
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird and Forbidden Droplet to disrupt the opponent's board, then rebuild through Drytron recursion
• Recovery: Drytron GY-recursion effects (Meteonis Drytron, Drytron Mu Beta Fafnir banish costs) and multiple searchers restore board presence
• After siding: No side deck is registered (0 side cards); no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

This list is an illegal submission: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run three times against a Semi-Limited limit of two, so the normal contextual score is capped and this result is theoretical and structural-only. The structure is a Drytron-centred Midrange shell with a searcher-heavy opening (P(at least one searcher in a 5-card hand) about 0.97) and seven hand traps, but only 2 Drytron starters are reliably reachable in the opening hand (about 0.34 per copy), and the archetype core (6 copies) is open in only about 58% of hands. Its extra deck spreads across Knightmare, Charmer, Borrel, Lyrilusc and Cyberse links with no shared engine, and only about 5.5% of cards match the exact 'Cyber Dragon' name, so the Cyber Dragon label does not describe the engine that is actually present. The deck has no side deck and no recorded combos or tournament data, so floor and median output cannot be measured and the score rests on text and probability inference. Popularity and archetype label did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (Ash Blossom over copy limit) (-5); No side deck (-3); Engine conflicts across sub-archetypes (-3). Final formula: Illegal cap: uncapped 0.80*52 + 0.20*40 + modifiers(-11) = 39, capped to 25; theoretical/structural-only, Meta Power null (Provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Heavy searcher density (19 searcher-text cards) makes a starter likely in most opening hands
• Seven hand traps and about 15 negation-text cards give interaction on both turns
• Extra-deck closers (Meteonis Draconids 4000-5000 ATK, Underworld Goddess 3000 ATK) can end a board

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is over the Semi-Limited copy limit
• Mixed sub-archetype engine (Drytron, Knightmare, Charmer, Borrel, Lyrilusc, Cyberse) with a 5.5% exact archetype purity
• No side deck; no post-side plan
• No recorded combos, so floor and median cannot be verified

Critical choke points

• Reaching a Drytron on-field state (Nu II, Zeta, Alpha, Gamma) is required before the Drytron Ritual and Link lines start
• A single Ash Blossom copy beyond the legal limit breaks legality

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck 40 cards, extra 15 cards, side 0 cards: all within size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring run 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2 (violation); Archetype purity: exact-name 5.5%, Drytron 22 copies, 52 off-archetype copies; Extra deck breakdown: 9 Link and 6 Xyz
• Inferred: P(>=1 Drytron Nu II in 5-card hand) about 0.34 per copy; Archetype core open in about 58% of 5-card hands; Hand-trap P(>=1 in 6 going second) about 0.71; Ceiling and closing power read from card text (no combos); Interaction density from negation and removal text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and format position (no tournament data)
• 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 no win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null; archetype label 'Cyber Dragon' does not match the card pool, which is Drytron-centred
