Cyber Dragon Deck #771932 — 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 50 / Extra 21 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Orcust Link and Xyz boards (Dingirsu, Orcustrion, Longirsu, Enlilgirsu) attacking through a board built from Orcust and World Legacy summons; Cyber Dragon Fusion boards (Chimeratech) and Borrelsword Dragon pressure, if the Extra Deck slots are cut to legal size
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Orcust Harp Horror or Cyber Dragon Core, then chain Orcust monster GY effects and Link Summon Galatea-I or Galatea to build a second-wave board; hold Ash Blossom for the first interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Open with Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Droll & Lock Bird as hand traps, then recover tempo through Orcust GY summons and Orcustrated Einsatz
• Recovery: Banish Orcust monsters from the GY through Orcust Cymbal Skeleton, Orcust Brass Bombard and Orcustrated Core to re-summon, and use Galatea-I to fetch a World Legacy monster or Orcustrated Babel
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This is an illegal list, so it gets only a capped, theoretical score. It runs an Orcust core of 14 copies, which gives roughly 82% odds of at least one Orcust in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred, hypergeometric), so the engine is reasonably accessible on the first turns. Interaction is a real strength, with 12 negation-text cards and 6 hand traps, including Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Droll & Lock Bird. The deck has no recorded boards, so combo conversion and median output are text-only inferences and are scored conservatively. The score does not come from Cyber Dragon being a popular archetype (usage stats show only 7 of 21 core cards present), and it is not an average of card scores. The Extra Deck is 6 cards over the OCG limit and Ash Blossom is one copy over, so the list must be corrected before any normal score applies.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Toolbox weighting not applied because Toolbox was secondary-only. Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-4); engine_conflicts (-3). Final formula: Structural 49.5 (Balanced weights, no meta sample); 0.80*49.5 + 0.20*45 - 7 modifiers = 41.6; capped to 30 because the deck is Illegal (over-limit Ash Blossom and Extra Deck over 15). Theoretical/structural-only score; no normal Final score applies

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.82 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.18 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Orcust core of 14 copies gives about 82% odds of a starter in the opening 5
• Layered interaction: 12 negation-text cards and 6 hand traps
• Broad Link and Xyz coverage from the Extra Deck, with boss ATK up to 3000

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Ash Blossom at 3 copies and an Extra Deck of 21 cards
• No Side Deck at all, so no post-side plan
• No combo evidence, so the ceiling and median are text-only inferences

Critical choke points

• The Extra Deck over the 15-card limit must be cut before the list is playable
• A single Galatea-I or Orcust Link Monster is needed for most Orcust lines, so losing it to a hand trap or board-breaker stops the chain

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck is 50 cards, within the OCG 40-60 size range; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run 3 copies against a legal limit of 2 (Semi-Limited); Extra Deck is 21 cards against the OCG maximum of 15; Side Deck is 0 cards; Banlist status for each restricted card matches its copies run; Exact-name archetype purity is 4.2%
• Observed: Usage stats: 7 of 21 core archetype cards are present; the core cards most absent are Cyber Dragon Nova and Chimeratech Megafleet Dragon
• Inferred: P(at least one Orcust starter in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.82; Hand-trap coverage and interaction quality from card text; Going-first and going-second plans and the recovery route, from text only
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit, pending a dated metagame sample; Tournament reliability
• 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 no win-rate telemetry; going-first, going-second and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side Deck is empty, so post-side scoring is not possible
