Cyber Dragon Deck #771891 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status: Legal with warning.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion, Link and Xyz boards led by Cyber End Dragon, Cyber Eternity Dragon, Cyber Dragon Nova and Cyber Dragon Sieger, built from Cyber Dragon searches and recursion; Direct Cyber Dragon Summons (Cyber Dragon, Nachster, Herz) feeding Link and Fusion lines, with Power Bond as a burst option
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core to search a Cyber spell/trap, or open on Cyber Dragon Nachster or Herz, then convert into a Link or Fusion Summon while holding hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Droll and Lock Bird) for the opponent's first answer
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird and Red Reboot to break the opponent's first starter, then rebuild through Cyber Emergency, Cyber Dragon searches and Chimeratech Fortress or Megafleet Dragon
• Recovery: Use the Cyber Dragon recursion stack (Cyber Dragon Nova detach-and-revive, Cyber Dragon Nachster and Herz from the GY, Cyber Emergency re-add) and Pot of Sloth to refill the hand after a board wipe
• After siding: Not defined: the deck runs no side deck, so there is no post-side plan. Any sideboard would need to be built from scratch

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional engine often: the Cyber Dragon core (Core x3, Nachster, Herz, Cyber Emergency x3) plus 15 searchers gives an archetype-core probability of about 0.89 of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and the seven hand traps and roughly 20 negation-text cards give it real interaction on the opponent's first plays. It converts that into pressure through Fusion, Link and Xyz boards, with Cyber End Dragon and Cyber Eternity Dragon as the top closers, but no recorded boards exist, so the conversion ceiling and median are text-based inference only. Resilience comes from recursion, multiple independent starters and layered negations, while the lack of a side deck and a fragmented engine (Mulcharmy, Forbidden, Cyberdark, Sky Striker and Chronomaly splashes; exact Cyber Dragon name purity only 20%) cap the score. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, and the score was built from consistency, interaction and median output on the system, not by averaging the individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Combo secondary (about 85/15). Structural ≈ 64, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-1); No side deck (-3); Engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional): 0.80*64.1 + 0.20*58 = 62.9, then -7 modifiers = 55.9, rounded to 56

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

• Dense searcher suite (15 text hits) gives a reliable Cyber Dragon engine on the first turns
• Seven hand traps plus Ash Blossom x2 and Maxx C give strong early interaction
• Extra Deck ceiling with Cyber End Dragon, Cyber Eternity Dragon and Nova gives a real closing plan
• Recursion stack (Nova, Nachster, Herz, Cyber Emergency) recovers after disruption

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Mixed engine: Mulcharmy, Forbidden, Cyberdark, Sky Striker and Chronomaly dilute the Cyber Dragon core
• 30 Spell/Trap slots and 13 tech cards raise brick and dead-draw risk
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unverified

Critical choke points

• Cyber Dragon Core x3 and Cyber Emergency x3 as the first searcher; losing them to a hand trap or Droll collapses the T1 plan
• Cyber Dragon Nova and Chimeratech Fortress/Megafleet as the Extra Deck follow-through

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 56, Extra 14, Side 0 within the OCG size rules; Limited and Semi-Limited copy counts are within legal limits; Card stats and text read from the resolved card list; Archetype purity 20 percent and the spread across sub-archetypes
• Observed: Usage statistics show Cyber Dragon core cards at 50 percent or more inclusion
• Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities for the engine and brick estimate; Interaction density from negation and hand-trap text; Combo ceiling and median from text only; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link or dated sample)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta share and per-pilot record are absent One passcode (10443957) in CardIDList could not be resolved to a card and is counted as main No win-rate telemetry (going-first, going-second, matchup, brick or starter rates) Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null in the export
