Cyber Dragon Deck #772744 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 50/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 58 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status: Legal with warning.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion and Link summons of Cyber / Cyberdark Dragons (Cyberdark End Dragon 5000 ATK, Cyber End Dragon 4000 ATK, Cyber Eternity Dragon) backed by Power Bond and Cyber Dragon Core searches; Cyber Dragon Nova and Cyberdark Dragon boards, with Cyber Dragon Herz and Cyberdark Horn/Edge as extenders
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core or Herz to search a Cyber Spell, use Cyber Emergency or Cyberdark Realm to add the next starter, then extend into a Fusion or Link with Overload Fusion or Power Bond
• Turn 2 (going second): Open with a hand trap (Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Belle, Artifact Lancea, D.D. Crow, PSY-Framegear Gamma) or a board wipe (Raigeki, Lightning Storm, Cosmic Cyclone), then rebuild through the GY with Cyberdark Claw/Cannon recursion
• Recovery: Searchers (Cyber Emergency x3, Cyberdark Chimera x2, Cyberdark Claw x3, Clockwork Night x3) and GY-recursion monsters rebuild a hand after a board interruption
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no side deck (side_count 0), so no post-side plan is present

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens into a searcher network: 22 searcher-text cards (Cyber Dragon Core x3, Cyber Emergency x3, Cyberdark Claw x3, Clockwork Night x3) give roughly a 0.92 chance of at least one searcher in a going-first hand (Inferred). Its interaction is the strongest part of the system: Infinite Impermanence x3, Cosmic Cyclone x3, Raigeki, Lightning Storm, Dark Ruler No More and roughly 10 hand-trap-text cards give high endboard and going-second answers. Its closing power comes from Cyberdark End Dragon (5000 ATK), Cyber End Dragon (4000 ATK) and Cyber Eternity Dragon, but the Fusion chain is single-copy and fragile. The deck is held back by weak archetype cohesion (exact-name purity 19.4%, spread across Cyber Dragon, Cyberdark, PSY-Frame, Therion, Gizmek and Harpie), 58 main-deck slots with many single-copy techs, and no side deck. No recorded boards exist, so floor and median are text-based inference. Popularity and archetype share did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox profile used for Structural; Combo considered as secondary but not blended numerically. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: No side deck (-3); Engine conflict across sub-archetypes (-3); Banlist exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional) = 0.80*59 + 0.20*50 + (-7) = 50.2, rounded to 50

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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

• Interaction breadth: Infinite Impermanence x3, Cosmic Cyclone x3, Raigeki, Lightning Storm, Dark Ruler No More
• Redundant searchers (22 cards) that give a high chance of finding a starter
• High-ATK Fusion and Link endboards (Cyberdark End Dragon, Cyber End Dragon, Cyber Eternity Dragon)
• GY recursion (Cyberdark Claw, Cyberdark Cannon, Cyber Dragon Herz) that helps recover after interruption

Weaknesses

• Low archetype cohesion: exact-name purity 19.4%, with several sub-archetypes competing for slots
• 58 main-deck slots with 18 singletons, including several niche techs, raise brick and dead-card risk
• No side deck, so best-of-3 adaptation is absent
• Heavy Fusion dependence: 10 Fusion monsters need specific materials and are fragile to a single removal or hand trap

Critical choke points

• Fusion materials for Cyberdark and Chimeratech Extra Deck monsters depend on specific Cyber/Cyberdark monsters being in hand or on the field
• Power Bond and Overload Fusion are both single-line Fusion enablers; losing them to an opposing hand trap stops the ace line
• Several singleton starters (PSY-Framegear Gamma, Cyber Dragon Nachster, Cyber Dragon) form a thin route to the Cyber Dragon engine

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal main size 58 and Extra size 14 are within OCG limits; no copy-limit violations; Harpie's Feather Duster and PSY-Framegear Gamma are Limited and run at 1 copy each; Exact-name purity 19.4%; searcher-text count 22; hand-trap-text count 10
• Inferred: Starter reliability of about 0.92 from the searcher group (hypergeometric); Going-second hand-trap availability of about 0.70; Interaction quality of Infinite Impermanence, Cosmic Cyclone and Raigeki
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no metagame sample or tournament link); Going-first and going-second power (no win-rate telemetry)
• 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 One main-deck passcode (10443957) could not be resolved and was counted as main usage_statistics in_this_deck flags conflict with the card list: Cyber Dragon Nova, Chimeratech Fortress Dragon, Chimeratech Megafleet Dragon, Cyber Dragon Sieger, Heosvarog and Cyber Eternity Dragon are present in the Extra Deck but flagged not in deck, so core_present_pct (55%) is unreliable No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
