Cyberdark Deck #772216 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 38/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Cyber Dragon and Chimeratech fusion/link boards that convert Cyber Dragon bodies into large Extra Deck monsters (Chimeratech Rampage, Cyber Dragon Nova, Cyber Dragon Sieger).; Cyberdark Chimera and Therion King Regulus as recursive or boss threats after Power Bond or Cyber Dragon Core lines.
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core to search a Cyber card, or open with Cyber Dragon Nachster or Herz to reach a Cyber Dragon for Fusion or Link material.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru) to answer the first opposing starter, then rebuild through Cyberdark Realm and Cybernetic Horizon.
• Recovery: Recover through Cyberdark Claw, Cybernetic Overflow, and Clockwork Night GY effects, plus Cyber Dragon Nova recursion of Cyber Dragons from the GY.
• After siding: No side deck is registered in the export, so no post-side plan can be evaluated; the Ash Blossom overflow must be fixed before any post-side plan applies.

Why it scores here

This OCG Cyberdark list is Illegal because it runs three Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring against a Semi-Limited cap of two, so the score is a theoretical structural read capped low. Structurally the system opens reasonably: the Cyber Dragon core (Cyber Dragon Core, Nachster, Herz, Cyber Emergency) gives a 0.80 chance of at least one archetype-core card in a going-first opening hand, and 16 hand traps plus 21 searchers keep it interactive on both turns. The strongest part of the score is interaction density: 19 negation-text and 18 removal-text cards across the main deck let the deck answer boards and stay live through a single opposing starter. Floor and median output cannot be measured because no combos were supplied, so those dimensions sit near the middle on text inference only. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype usage stats confirm this is a real list, but the score comes from consistency, interaction and fusion/link access on the system, not from averaging card scores or from the archetype's popularity. No side deck and an unresolved passcode further lower the score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 80% Midrange / 20% Toolbox. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 47, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit overflow (-10); Banlist exposure (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 50.1, then context modifiers -12 (Illegal copy-limit cap, banlist exposure) = 38

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.8 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.2 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense hand-trap and negation package (16 hand traps, 19 negation-text cards)
• Strong Extra Deck coverage across Fusion, Link and Xyz with Cyber Dragon Nova and Chimeratech access
• Good archetype-core presence: P(at least one core card in 5) ≈ 0.80

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: three Ash Blossom against a limit of two
• No side deck registered, so no post-side adaptability
• Heavy tech load (25 tech-tagged slots) dilutes the archetype core
• Multi-step Fusion and Link lines with no combo data to validate them

Critical choke points

• Cyber Dragon bodies: almost every Fusion and Link line needs a Cyber Dragon on board or in GY
• Ash Blossom copy count must be reduced to two before the list is playable

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is 3 copies against a Semi-Limited cap of 2 (Illegal); Main 56, Extra 14, Side 0 within OCG size rules; Droll and Lock Bird, Harpie's Feather Duster and S:P Little Knight run at one copy each, legal for Limited
• Inferred: Starter access ≈ 0.80 at least one archetype-core card in a going-first 5-card hand; 16 hand traps give a ≈ 0.88 chance of at least one in a going-second 6-card hand; Interaction density is high from text counts
• Provisional: Meta and format-fit scores lack a dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent no side deck registered: post-side plan cannot be evaluated 1 passcode (10443957) in CardIDList could not be resolved and was counted as main no win-rate telemetry for going-first or second, matchup, brick or OTK rates Meta Power provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
