Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 41 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion or Link Summon Cyber End Dragon, Cyber Twin Dragon, Chimeratech Rampage Dragon or Therion King Regulus, then close through 2800 to 4000 ATK boards with piercing or double attacks; Cyber Dragon Nova overlay and Cyber Dragon recursion from GY via Nachster, Herz and Core effects
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core to add a Cyber Spell or Trap, then build toward a Fusion or Link Summon with Cyber Dragon materials; Lightning Storm or Cyber Emergency as the board-clearing or search follow-up
• Turn 2 (going second): Open with Ash Blossom or Forbidden Droplet to stop the opponent's first engine card, then Special Summon Cyber Dragon from hand when only the opponent controls a monster
• Recovery: Recover through the Cyber Dragon Nachster and Cyber Dragon Herz GY revival effects, Cyber Dragon Nova to reuse GY Cyber Dragons, and Cyberdark Claw or Cyberdark Realm for card advantage
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional plan on a reasonable share of hands: Cyber Dragon Core (3 copies) and Cyber Dragon (2 copies) give roughly one-in-three odds each of appearing in a 5-card opening, and the archetype core group reaches about 94% at least one in hand. Conversion ceiling comes from the Extra Deck (Cyber End Dragon, Cyber Twin Dragon, Chimeratech Rampage Dragon, Therion King Regulus, Cyber Dragon Nova), but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference and the median is scored conservatively. Interaction is layered (Ash Blossom, Forbidden Droplet, Lightning Storm, Regulus, Heosvarog, Armillyre), which lifts the end-board score. Popularity and archetype share were not credited, no averaging of card scores was performed, and the final score is capped because the list breaks the OCG copy limit for Ash Blossom and has no Side Deck.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 49.6, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (copy-limit violation) (-5); illegal-deck cap (-12.7). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 47.7, then modifiers -5 gives 42.7, then capped at 30 because the deck is Illegal (copy-limit violation); score is structural-only and not a normal Final Contextual score

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

• Layered negation and removal across hand traps and Extra Deck effects
• Redundant Cyber Dragon bodies with GY revival routes
• Strong Extra Deck closing power if the engine goes live

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count on Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (3 vs 2)
• No Side Deck at all
• Low exact archetype purity with many off-archetype tech and generic cards
• Fusion and Link lines require several specific materials

Critical choke points

• Cyber Dragon Core and Cyber Dragon as the only Normal Summon starters
• Extra Deck fusion materials depend on a few Cyber Dragon monsters being in hand or on field

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck is 41 cards, Extra deck 14, within OCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a legal limit of 2; Side deck count is 0; Exact archetype purity is 23.6 percent
• Inferred: Starter hypergeometric odds around 0.33 for a single 3-copy starter; Negation and removal density from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates from hand-trap density; Closing power from Extra Deck ATK values
• Provisional: Format fit and matchup coverage, because no tournament or meta sample is present
• Data gaps: No recorded combos, so combo ceiling and median are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta share and pilot record are absent One passcode in CardIDList could not be resolved to a card and was counted as main No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No guides attached to the archetype Deck title is null
