Cyberdark Deck #771430 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 40/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link, Fusion and Xyz boss monsters (Cyber Dragon Sieger, Cyber Dragon Nova, Cyber Eternity Dragon, Chaos Angel, Jizukiru) built off a Cyber Dragon / Cyberdark engine; Chimeratech Fusion boards and Cyberdark Chimera recursion for repeated board presence
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core to add a Cyber spell (Cyber Emergency / Cyberdark Realm), then extend into a Link or Xyz boss; hold Ash Blossom or Infinite Impermanence for the opponent's first interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru) to break the opponent's first line, then recover with Mulcharmy and Cyberdark recursion into a boss
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos / Purulia draw when the board is empty, Cyberdark Claw and Cyberdark Chimera return monsters from the GY, Clockwork Knight searches Clockwork Night
• After siding: Not available: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal: three copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a Semi-Limited cap of two, so it is scored as a structural read only and the final number is capped low. Structurally the deck has a real engine: 9 copies of Cyber Dragon and Cyberdark starters plus Cyberdark Realm and Cyber Emergency give a 98% archetype-core presence in a 5-card hand (Inferred). Its boss ATK (Chaos Angel 3500, Jizukiru 3300, several 2800s) and 12 hand traps give it reasonable pressure and going-second interaction. Consistency is held back by 27 Level 0 spells, 15 tech slots and only 10% exact archetype purity, so the deck is a mixed Cyber Dragon / Cyberdark / Mulcharmy pile rather than one tight engine. There is no Side Deck, no combo recordings and no tournament or meta data, so the score does not reflect popularity and no card scores were averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53.6, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 51.9, then Illegal cap via -12 modifier = 40; theoretical/structural-only, not a legal contextual score

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• Strong archetype-core presence: 98% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand
• 12 hand traps and 16 negation-text cards give broad going-second interaction
• High boss ceiling: Chaos Angel 3500 ATK, Jizukiru 3300 ATK, several 2800 ATK monsters

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a limit of 2
• Low archetype purity (10%) and 27 Level 0 spells make the engine less coherent
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan
• No combo recordings, so the floor and median are unknown

Critical choke points

• Cyber Dragon Core and the Cyber spells as the first-turn starter, with few independent openers
• Fusion and Link boss summons depending on specific material in the GY or on the field

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 56 Main, 14 Extra, 0 Side; Ash Blossom 3 copies vs Semi-Limited cap of 2; Card text and stats for the listed cards, including Chaos Angel, Jizukiru and Cyber Dragon Sieger; Usage stat: Cyber Dragon Core 95.3% inclusion; archetype core present 16 of 25 cards
• Inferred: Consistency: P(at least one core card in hand5) = 0.98; starter P = 0.25 for 3 copies; Hand-trap count of 12 gives going-second interaction; Engine coherence: 10% exact purity, mixed Cyber Dragon / Cyberdark / Mulcharmy
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit (D13), since no dated metagame sample was supplied
• 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 are absent 1 passcode in CardIDList could not be resolved to a card (counted as main) no win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown no Side Deck, so D12 cannot be measured beyond its absence Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
