Cyberdark Deck #771836 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Cyber Dragon-based Fusion/Link/Xyz boards (Cyber Eternity Dragon, Chimeratech, Cyber Dragon Sieger, Jizukiru) built from Cyber Dragon searches and Cyberdark Realm/Horizon engine cards; Chronomaly Vimana / Heosvarog value plays and Therion King Regulus negation-equip pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core or Cyberdark Realm/Horizon to search a Cyber or Cyberdark starter, then extend into a Fusion or Link, backed by hand traps for the opponent's first interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Droll & Lock Bird and Infinite Impermanence to break the opponent's first starter, then rebuild through Cyber Dragon Herz/Nachster recursion and Cyber Repair Plant
• Recovery: Recover from the GY through Cyber Dragon Herz and Nachster special summons, Cyber Repair Plant, and Cyberdark Claw GY searches, then re-threaten with Extra Deck Link or Fusion monsters
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck, so no post-side plan exists in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Cyber-engine plan: the four core engine cards (Cyber Dragon Core, Cyber Emergency, Cybernetic Horizon, Cyberdark Realm) are each three copies, and the archetype core group has about a 93% chance of at least one copy in a five-card opening hand, with searchers present in about 96% of openings (Inferred from hypergeometric estimates). Interaction density is the deck's strongest system trait, with ten hand traps and Solemn, Droplet, Lightning Storm and Harpie's Feather Duster giving layered answers (Inferred semantic read). Recursion through Cyber Dragon Herz, Nachster and Cyber Repair Plant supports a credible grind, but no recorded boards exist, so the combo ceiling and median output are text-only inferences and not measured. The score is capped because the list is illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs three copies against a Semi-Limited limit of two, and the deck has no side deck. Popularity and archetype usage stats confirm the list is real and accessible but did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 58.6, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation (cap) (-22); Banlist exposure (-3); No side deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 56.9 pre-modifier; illegal-deck cap applied to 30

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.93 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.07 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Three-copy engine starters (Cyber Dragon Core, Cyber Emergency, Cybernetic Horizon, Cyberdark Realm) give high starter access
• Layered interaction: ten hand traps plus Solemn, Droplet, Lightning Storm and Harpie's Feather Duster
• Recursion via Herz, Nachster and Cyber Repair Plant gives recovery after disruption
• Extra Deck covers Fusion, Link and Xyz routes with high-ATK end-board threats

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom runs 3 copies against a limit of 2
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unmeasured
• Low archetype purity: 14.3% exact-name Cyberdark, with 60 off-archetype copies
• Heavy tech and hand-trap density lowers the share of pure engine cards

Critical choke points

• Cyber Dragon Core / Cyber Emergency / Cybernetic Horizon as the T1 starter, where a single hand trap on the opening Normal Summon can stall the engine
• Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring's legal copy count: the list must be cut to two copies before it can be played

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Ash Blossom copy count 3 exceeds Semi-Limited limit 2 (Illegal); Main 56 and Extra 14 are within OCG size rules; Four Limited cards run at their single legal copy; Side deck is empty (0 cards)
• Inferred: Starter access ~93% from hypergeometric archetype-core estimate; Interaction density and layering from card text and flags; Recursion and resilience from card text; Pilotability from summon conditions and decision points
• Provisional: Median and floor output (no combo data); Matchup and format fit (no tournament or dated meta); Meta power (null)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot match record absent One passcode in CardIDList could not be resolved (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 Side deck is empty, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
