Cyber Dragon Deck #774237 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 54/100 (±9 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Tempo, Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Summon-chain into Cyber End Dragon (4000 ATK), Cyber Twin Dragon (double attack) or Cyber Dragon Nova, with Power Bond and Cyberload Fusion as the Extra Deck enablers.; Chip and OTK pressure from Cyber Dragon bodies (Cyber Dragon, Herz, Nachster) recurred from the GY, with Cyber Dragon Core searching a Cyber Spell/Trap.
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Cyber Dragon Core to search a Cyber Spell/Trap (Cyber Emergency or Clockwork Night), then extend into a Link or Xyz using Herz/Nachster/Cyber Dragon bodies.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Infinite Impermanence or Droll & Lock Bird for the opponent's first effect, then Special Summon Cyber Dragon or Cyber Jormungardr if the opponent controls a monster and convert into Extra Deck summons.
• Recovery: Recur Cyber Dragon bodies from the GY with Cyber Dragon Herz, Cyber Dragon Nachster and Cyber Repair Plant, and re-search with Cyber Dragon Core or Cyberdark Realm.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side count 0; Master Duel is single-game), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Cyber Dragon starter: the archetype core is present in about 95% of opening 5-card hands by proxy and about 92% of hands contain a searcher, so the engine is accessible on turn 1 or 2 (Inferred). Its ceiling is credible from card text (Cyber End Dragon 4000 ATK, Cyber Twin Dragon's double attack, Nova and Power Bond), but no recorded boards exist, so conversion and median output are text-only inference and carry the widest uncertainty. Interaction is respectable (three Infinite Impermanence, three Disablaster, Lightning Storm, Dominus Spark, Therion Regulus), but the deck lacks the common hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx "C") that protect its engine, and it has no side deck. Popularity did not earn points: the 80–100% archetype-core inclusion stats confirm the list is standard, and the guides split between calling it an OTK-capable meme deck and calling it too weak for the current meta; neither was averaged into the score. Final placement reflects a structural score near 58, a tournament reliability near 52, and a small penalty for conditional summons and engine conflicts across Cyberdark, Therion and Chronomaly.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 57, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: conditional summon chokepoint (-2); engine conflicts and splash (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); Structural uses the Combo profile with D13 kept at a provisional 45, so it is not meta-neutral

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.05 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Engine starts reliably on turn 1–2 (searcher density, archetype-core inclusion)
• Strong Extra Deck closing ceiling (4000 / 2800 / 2100 ATK)
• Layered end-board interaction across negates, board wipes and backrow removal

Weaknesses

• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unverified
• Conditional summons that need an opposing monster
• No side deck and only one copy of Droll & Lock Bird among the hand traps
• Exact-name purity is 30%, so sub-archetype splash reduces engine coherence

Critical choke points

• Cyber Dragon Core summon and search, which needs an opposing monster
• Power Bond plus Cyberload Fusion as the only Extra Deck enablers

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal with warning: Droll & Lock Bird Semi-Limited at 1 copy (legal 2); Main 47 and Extra 13 within Master Duel size rules, Side 0; Extra Deck breakdown: 3 Xyz, 7 Fusion, 3 Link; Exact-name purity 30%; 18 copies of the exact archetype name; Searcher text count 18; negation text count 14; hand trap count 4
• Observed: Archetype-core inclusion of 80–100% across usage stats (deck runs 11 of 25 core cards)
• Inferred: Opening-hand engine accessibility (≈0.92 searcher, ≈0.95 core proxy); Combo ceiling and median from card text only; Interaction quality from text; Brick and conditional-summon risk; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 matchup fit (no dated metagame sample)
• 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 One passcode in CardIDList (10443957, 2 copies) could not be resolved and is counted as main Usage stats list Heosvarog the Mechanical Dawn and Sky Striker Ace - Azalea as not in this deck, but the card list includes Heosvarog and Azalea in the Extra Deck; treat the usage-stats match as unreliable No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
