Cyber Dragon Deck #773645 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 57/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Blind-Second / OTK
• Secondary strategies: Midrange
• Format: duel-links

Legality

Main 31 / Extra 8 / Side 0 — status: Legal with warning. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Going-second OTK: free Cyber Dragon / Cyber Jormungardr special summons, strip interaction with Forbidden Droplet / Jizukiru / Book of Eclipse, then fuse into Power Bond-boosted Cyber End Dragon or a multi-attacking Chimeratech Rampage Dragon.; Rank 5 / Link midrange board — Cyber Dragon Nova, Chronomaly Vimana, S:P Little Knight and Heosvarog the Mechanical Dawn as a layered interaction package when forced to go first.
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core (or resolve Cyberdark Realm / Cyber Emergency) to search Cyber Repair Plant or a Cyberdark card, climb into Cyber Dragon Nova / Chronomaly Vimana or S:P Little Knight, and hold Forbidden Droplet plus Ghost Ogre / Mulcharmy Fuwalos as interaction.
• Turn 2 (going second): Special Summon Cyber Dragon and Cyber Jormungardr for free bodies, break the board with Forbidden Droplet, Jizukiru, Book of Eclipse and Chimeratech Megafleet Dragon, then convert with Power Bond / Polymerization into Cyber End Dragon or Rampage Dragon for lethal.
• Recovery: Cyber Repair Plant and Cyberdark Wurm re-load the engine from the GY/Deck; Cyber Dragon Nachster, Cyber Dragon Herz and Nova re-summon 2100-ATK Machines; Heosvarog the Mechanical Dawn recycles a Fusion Spell from the GY during the next Standby Phase.
• After siding: Not applicable — Duel Links is best-of-one with a 0-card Side Deck; adaptability lives in the main-deck flex slots (Book of Eclipse, Jizukiru, Therion "King" Regulus, Ghost Ogre).

Why it scores here

This is a going-second Cyber Dragon OTK shell that opens a functional plan often enough but not consistently: the free Cyber Dragon / Cyber Jormungardr bodies give roughly a 0.76 chance of at least one reactive starter in a six-card hand, while the going-first side leans on Cyber Dragon Core (2 copies) and Cyber Emergency (2 copies) for only about a 0.61 chance of an opening starter. Its real strength is breaking and closing — three Forbidden Droplet, three Mulcharmy Fuwalos, Jizukiru, Book of Eclipse and Chimeratech Megafleet Dragon form a genuine board-breaking package, and Power Bond / Rampage Dragon / Cyber End Dragon convert that into a very high damage ceiling. The median game is far weaker than that ceiling: the list runs 12 one-of cards in 31 slots, so hands frequently present scattered conditional pieces, and no recorded boards exist to prove the average line. The 31-card main deck also sits one card above the Duel Links cap, which costs real consistency and is penalized as a modifier. Popularity and archetype inclusion (15 of 22 core cards present) confirm the list is real and accessible but earned no points here, and the score is a weighted read of the whole system — not an average of individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.6. Structural ≈ 62, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 70, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 53. Modifiers: Size / list integrity (-3); Hard-garnet burden (-2); Strong going-second breaker suite (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 0.80*62 + 0.20*53 = 60.2, then -3 context modifiers = 57

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.61 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.25 · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.12 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Deepest part of the deck is the going-second breaker suite: 3 Forbidden Droplet, 3 Mulcharmy Fuwalos, Jizukiru, Book of Eclipse, Ghost Ogre and contact-fusion Megafleet Dragon.
• Very high closing ceiling — Power Bond'd Cyber End Dragon, Sieger's +2100 grant, Nova's 4200 ATK mode and Rampage Dragon's multi-attack all convert a cleared board into lethal.
• Extra Deck is close to optimal for the shell: 4 Fusion, 2 Xyz and 2 Link slots, each mapping to a live in-engine line.
• Cyber Dragon's own free special summon means the deck applies pressure without spending the Normal Summon, and Repair Plant / Nachster / Herz / Nova provide real repeat access from the GY.

Weaknesses

• Main Deck is 31 cards, one above the Duel Links cap, which is a direct consistency tax on every open.
• 12 one-of cards in 19 distinct main-deck cards — hands are frequently scattered half-pieces rather than a coherent engine draw.
• Going-first entry is thin: essentially Cyber Dragon Core or Cyber Emergency, so a single answered Normal Summon can end the turn.
• Fusion conversion lives in one Polymerization and one Power Bond; without them the big-monster plan is not reachable.
• One card in the list (passcode 10443957) is unresolved, so its actual contribution is unknown.
• No recorded combo boards exist, so median output is text inference rather than measurement.

Critical choke points

• The Normal Summon on Cyber Dragon Core is the only clean going-first starter; negating or removing it leaves a board of nothing but a set Forbidden Droplet.
• Power Bond / Polymerization are single copies and require 2–3 named Cyber Dragon materials — answering the Fusion Spell ends the damage plan for that turn.
• Cyber Repair Plant is the main grind piece but is dead until a Cyber Dragon is already in the GY, so it cannot function as turn-1 access.
• The 31-card size dilutes access to the 2-of Cyber Dragon Core and Cyber Emergency, which are the deck's only proactive going-first entries.

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 31, Extra Deck 8, Side Deck 0; size rules main [20,30], extra [0,9], side [0,9].; All listed cards carry banlist_status Unlimited with legal_copies ≥ copies run; restricted_cards is empty.; Card texts used for role assignment: Power Bond, Polymerization, Cyber End Dragon, Chimeratech Rampage Dragon, Chimeratech Megafleet Dragon, Cyber Dragon Nova, Chronomaly Vimana, Heosvarog the Mechanical Dawn, S:P Little Knight, Cyber Dragon Sieger, Cyber Dragon Core, Cyber Emergency, Cyber Repair Plant, Cyber Jormungardr.; Archetype usage statistics: 22 rows, 15 of 22 core cards present (68.2%), with per-card inclusion percentages.
• Inferred: P(≥1 reactive starter in a six-card hand going second) ≈ 0.76 from 6 copies; P(≥1 going-first starter in five) ≈ 0.61 from 5 copies.; Estimated full-brick rate ≈ 0.12 driven by 12 singletons in 31 cards.; Power Bond / Rampage Dragon ceiling read from card text, not from a recorded board.; Going-first end board quality inferred from Nova/Vimana/S:P/Heosvarog text plus 3 Forbidden Droplet.; Resilience inferred from Cyber Dragon's self-special-summon condition and GY recursion on Repair Plant / Nachster / Herz / Nova.
• Provisional: Meta Power is null — no dated metagame sample was supplied.; Matchup coverage and format fit rest on archetype-level usage rows only, not on a dated field.; Post-side adaptability is not measurable because Duel Links uses a best-of-one, 0-card Side Deck.
• Data gaps: No combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference. No tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent. 1 passcode (10443957) could not be resolved to a card and is counted as main. No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown. Meta Power is Provisional — no dated metagame sample supplied. Usage-stat in_this_deck flags conflict with the resolved card list (e.g. Heosvarog, Chimeratech Rampage Dragon, Cyber Dragon Nova, Cyber End Dragon are flagged absent but appear in the Extra Deck); the cards array was treated as source of truth.
