Cyber Dragon Deck #772983 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Cyber Twin Dragon, Cyber Eternity Dragon and Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Rocket converting a Cyber Dragon / Cyber Dragon Nova board into double attacks and large Xyz pressure; Chimeratech Fortress / Megafleet Dragon Fusions with Cyber Dragon Core and Power Bond for an alternate large board
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Cyber Dragon Core, Cyber Dragon Nachster or Cyber Dragon Herz with a Cyber search (Cyber Emergency, Clockwork Night, Cybernetic Overflow), then Fusion or Link into a 2100+ ATK monster and protect the line with Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence and Solemn Accusation to answer the opponent's first engine, then rebuild the Cyber Dragon board from the GY with Nova or Cyber Repair Plant
• Recovery: Recycle Cyber Dragons from the GY through Cyber Dragon Nova, Cyber Repair Plant and Cyberdark Wurm, and rebuild Extra Deck summons from the remaining hand
• After siding: Not defined: the list has no side deck, so there is no post-side plan (the Side score is a structural floor)

Why it scores here

This deck is scored as a system and is capped because the list is illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against an OCG limit of 2. Its consistency is reasonable, since the archetype core is well represented (P of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand is about 0.91, Inferred) and 18 searcher-text cards add redundancy. Its interaction is the strongest part: about 22 negation texts, 8 hand traps and several Spell/Trap answers give it layered defense on both turns. The closing power comes from double-attack and high-ATK Extra Deck monsters such as Cyber Twin Dragon, Cyber Eternity Dragon and Gustav Rocket. The weak points are a low main-deck efficiency (25 Spells, 14 singletons, roughly 15 sub-archetypes and 21.6 percent exact-name purity), no side deck, and a demanding fusion and Xyz sequence. Popularity and usage stats confirm the list is real, but they did not add points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Combo secondary, not weighted separately (weights are per-profile only). Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-3); no_side_deck (-2); dependence_on_extra_deck_chains (-1); illegal_list_cap (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame, so Meta is provisional: 0.80*Structural(59) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 56.2, plus context modifiers (-6) = 50.2. Because the list is Illegal, it does not receive a normal Final score; it is capped at 30 and labelled theoretical/structural-only until the copy limit is fixed.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.91 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.09 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Layered interaction: 8 hand traps and about 22 negation texts cover both turns
• Redundant Cyber Dragon starters and searchers keep the engine live across several openings
• High closing power from double-attack and 2800-5000 ATK Extra Deck monsters

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy limit: Ash Blossom runs 3 copies against a limit of 2
• No side deck, so there is no adaptability for best-of-3
• Low exact-name purity (21.6 percent) and many sub-archetypes reduce engine coherence
• Many non-engine Spells and singletons (25 Spells, 14 singletons) raise brick and dead-card risk

Critical choke points

• Cyber Dragon Core and the Cyber search cards: most lines need one of them in the opening hand
• Fusion or Xyz material chains that need specific Cyber Dragon bodies in the GY or Extra Deck

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal, Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against an OCG limit of 2; Main 60 / Extra 14 / Side 0 are within the OCG size rules; Card text and stats for the main and Extra cards; Archetype core inclusion stats for Cyber Dragon Nova, Chimeratech Megafleet Dragon and others
• Inferred: Engine consistency P(>=1 core card in 5) = 0.908; Brick proxy 0.092; Interaction density from negation and hand-trap text; Going-second hand-trap coverage 0.593; Midrange and Combo strategy classification; Tournament reliability and pilotability estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13)
• Data gaps: No recorded combos, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so meta share and per-pilot record are absent No side deck, so post-side performance cannot be assessed 1 passcode (10443957) could not be resolved to a card No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
