Cyber Dragon Deck #771894 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra-Deck beatsticks and Fusion/Xyz/Link threats (Cyber End Dragon, Cyberdark End Dragon, Number 81 Super Dora, Cyber Dragon Sieger) sustained by Cyber Dragon and Cyberdark searchers; Cyber Dragon Core and Cyber Dragon Nova chains through the Cyber Dragon and Cyber-family searchers
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core or Nachster to search a Cyber Spell/Trap, set Cyber Emergency or Cyberdark Realm, and build toward a Link or Xyz line
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Solemn Judgment, Droll & Lock Bird, or The Great Gallant Bandit to interrupt the opponent's first line, then rebuild through Cyber Dragon searchers
• Recovery: Recover from the Graveyard with Cyberdark Chimera, Cyberdark Edge, Cyberdark Cannon, Cyber Dragon Herz and Cyber Dragon Core's banish effects, and Cyber Dragon Nova's Xyz material reuse
• After siding: Not evaluable: no Side Deck is supplied, so there is no post-side plan to score

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its archetype core is well represented (16 copies, P(at least one in a 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.84), and the 22 searcher-text cards give it a reasonable chance of finding a starter, which lifts consistency. Interaction is the strongest area: Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Solemn Judgment, Droll & Lock Bird, Harpie's Feather Duster, Lightning Storm and Regulus cover hand traps, negation and board wipes. The ceiling and median output are estimated from text only because no recorded boards exist, so combo scores stay low and are labelled Inferred. The deck is held down by its size error (16 Extra Deck cards against a 15-card cap), by low archetype purity (12.9% exact-name, with a spread across Cyberdark, Train, Mulcharmy and generic cards), and by the absence of any side deck. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points; they only confirm the list is a real, accessible build. The Illegal status caps the final score as a theoretical, structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Toolbox secondary, disclosed by ratio 80/20 (Midrange weights used as the base). Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal Extra Deck size (-8); Low archetype purity (-2); No side deck (-2); Illegal-status cap (-5). Final formula: Final = 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); = 0.80*49 + 0.20*40 - 12 = 35, then capped at 30 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only read)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.84 · 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

• Searcher density (22 searcher-text cards) makes starter access reliable
• Dense interaction suite: hand traps, negation and removal text across 34 cards
• Strong Extra-Deck finishers with verified high ATK (5000, 4000 and 3200 ATK)
• Archetype core present at 16 copies, with a high chance of at least one in hand

Weaknesses

• Extra Deck is 16 cards, over the OCG 15-card cap, so the list is Illegal
• Low archetype purity: only 12.9% exact-name, with the engine split across sub-archetypes
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation is possible
• No recorded combo boards, so ceiling and median output cannot be verified

Critical choke points

• Extra Deck size error must be fixed before any legal play
• Dependence on Cyber Dragon searchers (Core, Nachster, Herz) for the first line
• Cyber End Dragon and Cyberdark End Dragon require specific Fusion materials that a single disruption can break

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck is 54 cards, within the 40–60 range; Extra Deck is 16 cards, over the 15-card OCG cap (Illegal); Limited and Semi-Limited copy counts comply: Droll & Lock Bird 1, Harpie's Feather Duster 1, Maxx C 1, Rivalry of Warlords 1, Solemn Judgment 1, Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 2; Archetype purity is 12.9% exact-name; Card stats for Cyber End Dragon (4000 ATK), Cyberdark End Dragon (5000 ATK) and Super Dora (3200 ATK)
• Observed: Usage statistics show archetype core cards with 50%+ inclusion (Cyber Dragon Nova 83%, Regulus 80%, Cyber Dragon Core 74%)
• Inferred: Starter access ≈ 0.84 from the hypergeometric archetype-core estimate; Interaction breadth from text-role hints (4 hand traps, 12 negation, 18 removal); Going-second hand-trap coverage ≈ 0.38 for at least one hand trap in 6 cards; Midrange primary and Toolbox secondary, from composition and card text
• Provisional: Meta Power is null because no dated metagame sample is supplied; Matchup fit and format fit (D13) rely on archetype share only
• Data gaps: No recorded combos: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot record are absent No side deck supplied, so the post-side plan cannot be evaluated One passcode in CardIDList is unresolved and counted as Main Deck No win-rate, brick, starter or matchup telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power stays provisional without a dated metagame sample
