Cyberdark Deck #773082 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Toolbox
• 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, Link and Xyz boss access through Cyber Dragon and Cyberdark lines, led by Cyberdark End Dragon (5000 ATK) and Cyber End Dragon (4000 ATK); Chimeratech and Cyber Dragon Sieger / Nova board pressure via Power Bond and Cyber Dragon Herz/Nachster
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Cyber or Cyberdark Spell/Trap or monster (Cyberdark Realm, Urgent Schedule, Cyber Dragon Core) and build toward a Link or Fusion boss; relies on searcher density rather than a single starter
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the three Ash Blossom copies as hand traps against the opponent's first starter, then rebuild through searchers and Fusion or Link summons
• Recovery: Recycle GY monsters with Cyberdark Claw, Cyberdark Cannon and Cyber Dragon Herz; re-search Cyber Dragon Core or Cyberdark Realm
• After siding: None: the deck runs zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its card scores, and its popularity does not earn points by itself. Its engine is accessible: the 26 searcher-text cards put a searcher in the opening hand about 99.6% of the time, and the 11-copy archetype core is present in the opening 5 about 81% of the time, though the Cyber Dragon Core starter alone is only about 33%. The ceiling comes from Extra Deck fusion and link access to 4000 to 5000 ATK bosses, and the removal and negation text plus three hand traps supply interaction. The copy-limit breach (three Ash Blossom against a limit of two) makes the list Illegal, so the score is capped at 35 and the evaluation is structural only. No combos were recorded, so floor and median output are unmeasured, and the deck has no side plan.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 56.8, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); no post-side plan (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + modifiers = 0.80*56.8 + 0.20*50 - 12 = 43.4, then capped at 35 because the list is Illegal (Ash Blossom copy limit breach)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.33 · 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

• Searcher density (26 searcher-text cards) makes the engine accessible on most openings
• Fusion, Link and Xyz boss coverage gives a real Extra Deck ceiling
• Three hand traps and 8 negation-text cards give going-second interaction
• Recursion from Cyberdark Realm and Cyberdark Claw/Cannon supports grind

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three Ash Blossom copies exceed the OCG Semi-Limited limit of 2
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• Low exact-name purity (27.3%); engine relies on several related sub-archetypes
• Unresolved passcode 10443957 counted as Main Deck with no card text

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom copy count must be fixed before the deck is legal
• Cyber Dragon Core is the only Cyber Dragon starter with a meaningful going-first hand probability (0.33)
• Fusion summons rely on specific Cyber Dragon material monsters being in hand or field

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 41, Extra 14, Side 0 (within OCG size rules 40 to 60, 0 to 15, 0 to 15); Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring: 3 copies run, Semi-Limited with 2 legal copies; status Illegal; Extra Deck breakdown: 7 Fusion, 4 Link, 3 Xyz; Exact-name Cyberdark purity 27.3%; Boss ATK values: Cyberdark End Dragon 5000, Cyber End Dragon 4000
• Inferred: Starter probabilities: Cyber Dragon Core 0.33, archetype core 0.81, searcher-text 0.996, hand-trap group 0.386; Ceiling and interaction reads from card text (negation, removal, recursion); Structural score 56.8 under the Combo profile; Going-first 52 and going-second 60 estimates
• Provisional: Meta power is null; no dated metagame sample; Matchup fit (D13) with no tournament link
• Data gaps: Usage statistics flag in_this_deck=false for Cyber Dragon Nova, Chimeratech Megafleet Dragon, Chimeratech Fortress Dragon, Cyber Dragon Sieger, Cyber Eternity Dragon, Cyber End Dragon and Clockwork Knight, although each appears in the Extra Deck card list. The usage matcher appears to check the Main Deck only. Verified core presence is 15 of 17 (88.2%), not the 47.1% stated; Heosvarog and Infinite Impermanence are absent. Passcode 10443957 is unresolved and was counted as Main Deck No combos supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null
