Cyber Dragon Deck #773788 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 53/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Tempo, Blind-Second/OTK
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 47 / Extra 13 / Side 0 — status: Legal with warning.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra-Deck pressure from Cyber End Dragon (4000 ATK), Cyber Twin Dragon (second attack) and Cyber Dragon Nova, reached through Cyber Dragon summons and Fusion/Xyz/Link follow-ups; Power Bond into a Machine Fusion monster; Cyber Dragon Nova Xyz recursion of Cyber Dragons from the GY
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core (x3), whose text adds a Cyber Spell/Trap to hand, then extend with Cyber Dragon Herz / Nachster / Jormungardr or the Luminous Mech Dragon Special Summon to reach a Link/Xyz/Fusion monster
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Infinite Impermanence (x3) or Droll & Lock Bird (x1) to stop the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Cyber Dragon summons; Luminous Mech Dragon can negate one monster effect once per turn when Special Summoned
• Recovery: Cyber Repair Plant and Cyber Emergency (x3) add Cyber monsters or Spells back from the Deck; Cyber Dragon Nova and Cyber Dragon Herz recur Cyber Dragons from the GY, subject to once-per-turn limits
• After siding: No side deck (side 0); no post-side plan exists in this list

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as one system: 13 monster starters (3 Cyber Dragon Core, 3 Luminous Mech Dragon, 2 Herz, 2 Cyber Dragon, 1 Nachster, 2 Jormungardr) give a hypergeometric chance of at least one starter in a 5-card opening hand of about 0.82 (Inferred), so the engine usually comes online T1-T2 (D1 72). Conversion to pressure is credible on the text (Cyber End Dragon 4000 ATK, Cyber Twin Dragon's second attack, Nova's repeated Cyber Dragon recursion) but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling is text-based and the median output is lower and unmeasured (D3 70, D4 45). Interaction is layered but thin per turn: Infinite Impermanence x3, Droll & Lock Bird x1, Disablaster and Luminous negations, and Lightning Storm, with a hand-trap dead-hand risk the guide texts call out (D7 66, D8 58). Brick management is weak: nine singleton slots, several conditional non-starters, a 30% exact-name purity spread across related sub-archetypes, and no side deck (D2 48, D10 52, D12 25). Popularity and the usage-statistics match did not earn points, guide sentiment that the deck is 'not strong enough for the current meta' did not move the score, and no card scores were averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: scattered_sub_archetype_spread (-3); brick_risk_no_side (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional) = 0.80*60 + 0.20*50 - 5

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.82 · 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

• 13 monster starters with 3 Cyber Dragon Core and 3 Luminous give redundant T1 access
• Layered negation and hand traps (Impermanence x3, Droll x1, Disablaster, Luminous)
• Strong closers in the Extra Deck (Cyber End Dragon 4000 ATK, Cyber Twin Dragon double attack)
• Legal list with no copy-limit violations (Droll & Lock Bird 1 copy vs 2 allowed)

Weaknesses

• Weak brick management: 9 singletons, several conditional non-starters, one-hand-trap dead hands per guide text
• Off-name spread across related sub-archetypes, so the engine is less coherent than the archetype name suggests
• No side deck and no post-side plan
• No recorded combo boards, so floor and median output are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Cyber Dragon Core x3 and Luminous x3 starter set; a hand without these depends on Herz, Nachster and Jormungardr
• Droll & Lock Bird is the only Semi-Limited card, and Impermanence x3 is the main hand interaction
• Power Bond and Cyber End Dragon depend on Machine Fusion material and LP cost

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 47 main, 13 extra, 0 side; no size or copy violations; Droll & Lock Bird 1 of 2 legal (Semi-Limited); Card texts for starters, Cyber End Dragon, Cyber Twin Dragon and Cyber Dragon Nova from the evidence excerpts; Usage stats: archetype-core inclusion percentages (note the Extra-Deck in this deck inconsistency below); Composition counts: 18 exact-name copies, 42 off-name copies, 30% purity
• Inferred: P(>=1 of 13 starters in a 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.82; P(>=1 of 3 copies in a 5-card hand) = 0.292, matching the export; Brick risk and one-hand-trap dead hands from guide text and composition; Combo ceiling and floor are text-based only
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); D12 side-deck adaptability (side 0); D13 matchup and format fit (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 match record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchup or brick/starter/OTK rates Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample 1 unresolved passcode (card ID 10443957, 2 copies) counted as main; its text is unknown Deck title is null usage statistics in this deck flags conflict with the cards list for several Extra Deck cards (e.g. Cyber Dragon Nova, Chimeratech Fortress, Heosvarog, Cyber Dragon Sieger, Sky Striker Ace - Azalea, Chimeratech Megafleet Dragon, Clockwork Knight, Chronomaly Vimana), so Extra-Deck core coverage was not scored Impermanence counted as a hand trap by regex (it is a Trap card); hand-trap count may be overstated
