Cyber Dragon Deck #771690 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Stun
• 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: Cyber Dragon Nova / Chimeratech Fortress or Megafleet Dragon boards built from Cyber Dragon Core, Nachster and Herz fed by hand traps and searchers (Inferred, no recorded boards); Cyberdark Chimera / Wurm and Therion King Regulus Fusion and Link pressure with Power Bond and Clockwork Night (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core to search a Cyber spell/trap, then Cyber Emergency or Cyberdark Realm to reach a Cyber Dragon and extend into Nova or Chimeratech (Inferred from text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll and Solemn negates for the opponent's first summon or activation, then rebuild through Cyber Dragon Herz and Nachster GY recursion (Inferred from text)
• Recovery: Cyber Repair Plant and Cyber Dragon Herz / Nachster GY effects re-deploy Cyber Dragons; Cybernetic Overflow clears the field (Inferred from text)
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck runs no side deck, so there is no post-side adaptation

Why it scores here

The deck's consistency rests on the archetype core: P(at least one Cyber Dragon core card in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.89 across 19 copies, and 21 searcher-text cards give strong reach (Inferred). Its interaction suite is broad and layered, with 3 Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Solemn Strike, Solemn Judgment, Forbidden Droplet, Mistaken Arrest and Harpie's Feather Duster, which earns the endboard and interaction score (Inferred from text). Recursion through Cyber Dragon Herz, Nachster and Cyber Repair Plant supports resilience after disruption. Points are held back by low archetype purity (22.9% exact-name), a mix of Cyber Dragon, Cyberdark, Mulcharmy and Therion engines that may conflict, the absence of any recorded combo or median output data, and an empty side deck. The deck is also Illegal because Ash Blossom runs 3 copies against an OCG limit of 2, so the final score is a theoretical, structural-only cap and was not averaged from card scores or boosted by archetype popularity.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-4); engine conflicts (-4); no Side Deck (-3). Final formula: Structural 54.6 (Midrange weights) -> 0.80*54.6 + 0.20*48 = 53.3; context modifiers -11 = 42.3; Illegal-list theoretical cap applied -> 35 (no normal Final Contextual score; Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.89 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.11 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype core is accessible in the opening hand (0.886 for at least one core card)
• Layered negation suite with 4 hand traps and several Solemn-type negates
• Multiple recursion paths through Cyber Dragon GY effects
• Wide Extra Deck with Fusion, Link, Xyz and Synchro options

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count on Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (3 vs 2)
• Low archetype purity (22.9%), so engines may compete for slots
• No side deck and no post-side plan
• No recorded combos, so ceiling and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Cyber Dragon Core or Nachster as the only T1 starter in a hand with no searchers
• Lines that depend on Power Bond or Clockwork Night for Extra Deck access
• Reliance on Ash Blossom as the only answer to a stacked opponent turn

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 56 and Extra 14 fall within OCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a legal maximum of 2 (Illegal); Solemn Judgment, Droll and Lock Bird, Harpie's Feather Duster and S:P Little Knight are Limited; Side deck is empty; Archetype purity is 22.9% exact-name
• Inferred: P(at least one core card in opening hand) = 0.886; Engine conflicts reduce consistency; Starter reliability and hand-trap coverage from card text
• Provisional: Meta power and tournament reliability are not measured; Matchup fit has no dated meta sample
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent 1 passcode (10443957) in the CardIDList could not be resolved to a card and was counted as main no win-rate telemetry; going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck, so no post-side evidence exists
