Cyber Dragon Deck #772685 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro boards from Crystron and Synchro Monsters (Crystron Quandax, Crystron Ametrix, Crystron Quariongandrax, Crystron Eleskeletus) built after hand-trap interaction; Mulcharmy draw-engine pressure and Nibiru / Cyber Dragon Nova style boss monsters
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Crystron or Mulcharmy starter, reach a Synchro via Crystron Tuners, and keep Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler and Ghost Belle up as the main protection
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 15 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird) to stop the opponent's first Summon or Spell, then rebuild through Crystron recursion
• Recovery: Recover from the GY and banishment with Crystron Smiger, Crystron Sulfador and Crystron Tristaros, then Synchro again through the Crystron Tuner package
• After siding: None. The deck runs no Side Deck (Side Deck size 0), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

This deck is Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run three times against an OCG limit of two, and one card id did not resolve. Under the rubric it does not receive a normal Final score, so the 30 is a structural-only ceiling and is labelled theoretical. The structural read is a Midrange shell built from Crystron Tuners and Synchro Monsters with a heavy hand-trap and negation suite, which is what earns the interaction and resilience points (D5 and D7). Consistency is weak: the archetype core is only about 56% likely to open in five cards and the hand-trap-heavy hands carry a meaningful brick risk (D1 and D2). Combo ceiling and floor are Inferred from text alone because no boards were supplied. Exact archetype purity is 1.4%, so the 'Cyber Dragon' label is not what drives the list; the Crystron, Mulcharmy and generic spread does. Usage statistics and archetype popularity did not earn points, and the score was not an average of the card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Stun secondary used only for the interaction read, not for weights. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal copy limit (Ash Blossom 3/2) (-3); No Side Deck (-4). Final formula: No normal Final: Illegal cap. 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 49.6, plus modifiers (-7) = 42.6, capped at 30 under the Illegal rule. Meta Power is null (provisional).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.56 · 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

• Dense hand-trap and negation suite (15 hand traps, 18 negation-text cards) gives strong early interaction
• Crystron recursion and multiple Tuner routes give several independent lines
• Synchro-heavy Extra Deck with boss monsters at 2600–3000 ATK

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: 3 copies of a Semi-Limited card
• Low exact archetype purity (1.4%); the list is a cross-archetype mix
• No Side Deck
• Hand-trap-heavy hands carry a meaningful brick risk

Critical choke points

• Starter access: the archetype core is about 56% to open in hand5
• Ash Blossom over the copy limit must be fixed before the list can be scored normally

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run 3 times against a 2-copy OCG limit (Illegal); Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0; the Main count is within 40–60 and the Extra count is within 0–15; Exact archetype purity is 1.4%
• Observed: Usage stats: 4 of 20 core cards present (20%)
• Inferred: Consistency from hypergeometric odds (archetype core about 0.56 in hand5); Interaction density from card text (18 negation, 26 removal); Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample or tournament link
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and pilot match record absent One passcode (10443957) did not resolve to a card and was counted as Main No win-rate telemetry; going-first, going-second and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown No Side Deck, so D12 has no post-side data Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
