Cyberdark Deck #772640 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±12 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Fusion/Link engine, Hand-trap interaction
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 53 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion/Link board presence from Cyberdark and Cyber Dragon fusions (Cyberdark End Dragon, Cyber End Dragon, Chimeratech Rampage Dragon) supported by Power Bond and Polymerization; Cyber Dragon Nova and Cyberdark Edge for pressure once the Extra Deck is accessible
• Turn 1 (going first): Opener with a Cyber Dragon starter and a searcher (Cyberdark Realm, Cyber Dragon Core, Cyberdark Claw) toward a Fusion or Link Summon, holding Ash Blossom or Droll as protection
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand trap (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru) to stop the opponent's first board, then Cyber Dragon special summon and a Fusion line
• Recovery: Recursion from GY through Cyberdark Edge, Cyber Dragon Core banish effects, and Cyberdark Chimera GY effect; limited by the single-copy Extra Deck cards
• After siding: None. The deck has zero Side Deck cards, so no post-side plan is defined

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a starter most of the time: the searcher-text group (23 copies) gives P(at least one in a 5-card opener) of about 0.95, though any single 3-copy starter appears in the opener only about 26% of the time (Inferred). Conversion is supported by a Fusion and Link base with redundant Cyber Dragon routes, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are inferred from card text rather than observed. Interaction is dense (9 hand-trap-tagged cards, 8 negation-text cards, 17 removal-text cards), which earns the end-board score, but the deck has no side plan and no game-level data. The score is capped because the list is illegal: it runs 16 Extra Deck cards against a 15-card OCG limit and 3 copies of Ash Blossom where the Semi-Limited limit is 2. Popularity and archetype usage do not earn points here, and card scores were not averaged into the result.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 47, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal list cap (-20). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*52 + 0.20*45 = 50.6, then capped to 30 for an illegal list (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.26 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.23 (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 coverage (9 hand-trap tags, 8 negation-text cards)
• Strong searcher density (23 searcher-text cards), making opener starters likely
• Multiple Cyber Dragon special-summon routes for redundancy

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: 16 Extra Deck cards against a 15-card OCG limit
• Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring run 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2
• No Side Deck; no post-side plan
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unmeasured
• Core Extra Deck finishers are single-copy and easy to lose

Critical choke points

• Extra Deck overflow must be fixed before the list is playable
• Single-copy Fusion and Link finishers (Cyberdark End Dragon, Cyber End Dragon, Chimeratech Rampage Dragon)
• Power Bond and Polymerization as the only Fusion enablers
• Limited cards (Solemn Judgment, Droll & Lock Bird, Bystial Magnamhut) each allow a single copy

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 53 cards, within 40-60; Extra Deck 16 cards, above the OCG maximum of 15; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring: 3 copies, Semi-Limited limit 2; Solemn Judgment, Droll & Lock Bird, Bystial Magnamhut each Limited to 1 copy and run at 1; Zero Side Deck cards; Archetype usage: Cyber Dragon Nova 92.1%, Cyberdark core cards present at 8 of 17 core stats
• Inferred: Starter and searcher hypergeometric probabilities; Interaction density and negation read from card text; Midrange profile structural score of 52; Going-second hand-trap probability about 0.69
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (D13)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median, and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent 1 passcode in CardIDList could not be resolved (10443957), counted as Main No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
