Cyber Dragon Deck #772948 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 41 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion and Xyz boss monsters (Cyberdark End Dragon, Cyber End Dragon, Cyber Twin Dragon, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS) built from Cyber Dragon and Cyberdark material; Cyberdark Edge / Cyberdark Horn direct and piercing damage off GY-equipped Dragon monsters
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core to add a Cyber Spell/Trap (Cyber Emergency, Cyberdark Realm, Cybernetic Horizon), then Cyber Dragon or Nachster into a Fusion or Xyz extension
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Droll & Lock Bird to break the opponent's first board, then use Power Bond or Cyber Dragon Nova to rebuild
• Recovery: Cyber Repair Plant and Cyberdark Chimera return searchers and Power Bond to hand, and Cyber Revsystem or Cyber Dragon Herz re-summon Cyber Dragons from the GY
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Cyber Dragon starter: the archetype core has P(at least one in opening 5) of about 0.955, with three Cyber Dragon Core and three Cyber Dragon. It converts that opening into a Fusion or Xyz extension through Power Bond and Cyber Dragon Nachster, and the 14-card Extra Deck gives several boss options. It survives disruption well, with seven hand traps and ten negation-text cards, though this rests on text reads rather than measured boards. Its closing power is strong on paper (Cyberdark End Dragon at 5000 ATK, Cyber End Dragon at 4000), but the deck is Illegal (three copies of a Semi-Limited card, and one unresolved passcode). It is capped as theoretical only. No combo boards, tournament record or side deck exist, and popularity was not credited; the score is not an average of card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: illegal_copy_limit (-9); unresolved_passcode (-3). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + modifiers = 0.80*58 + 0.20*52 - 12 = 44.8, then capped at 35 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · 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

• Strong archetype core access (about 0.955 at least one in opening 5)
• Layered interaction: seven hand traps, ten negation-text cards, ten removal-text cards
• Good closing stats across Fusion and Xyz boss monsters
• Good recursion through Cyber Repair Plant, Cyber Revsystem and Cyber Dragon Herz

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is over the OCG copy limit
• Low archetype purity (32.7% exact name), splitting the engine across Cyberdark and generic cards
• No Side Deck registered
• Unresolved passcode in the Main Deck
• Demanding multi-step Fusion lines

Critical choke points

• Cyber Dragon Core and Cyber Dragon as the only Normal Summon starters
• Power Bond and Cyber Dragon Nova as the main boss routes
• Ash Blossom at 3 copies cannot be run in OCG

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies vs legal 2; Main 41, Extra 14, Side 0 (OCG size rules 40–60 / 0–15 pass); Archetype exact-name purity is 32.7%; Cyberdark End Dragon 5000 ATK, Cyber End Dragon 4000 ATK; Archetype core inclusion 89% (Cyber Dragon Nova, usage stats)
• Inferred: Archetype core opening-hand access ≈ 0.955; Interaction density from negation and removal text (semantic read); Going-first and going-second estimates from structure, not from boards
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample and no tournament link
• Data gaps: No combos supplied — combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent One Main Deck passcode (10443957) could not be resolved to a card No Side Deck registered No win-rate telemetry — going-first/second split, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
