Cyberdark Deck #774238 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 50/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Cyber Dragon-named monsters and Cyberdark Chimera/Wurm-driven Fusion, Xyz and Link boards, closed out by Cyber Dragon Nova, Chimeratech Fortress Dragon and Therion King Regulus (2800 ATK).; Direct attacks and board-breaking via Cyber Dragon, the Luminous Mech Dragon (2100 ATK) and Cyber Dragon Sieger.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Cyber Dragon Core or Cyber Dragon Herz, search a Cyber Spell/Trap (Cyber Emergency, Cybernetic Overflow), then use Duality or Machine Duplication to extend into Extra Deck summons.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Infinite Impermanence, Disablaster and Droll & Lock Bird to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Cyber Dragon summons from the GY.
• Recovery: Rebuild from the GY using Cyber Repair Plant, Cyberdark Wurm and Cyber Dragon Nachster, which can revive Cyber Dragons, and Cyberdark Realm for a further search.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt between games in this export.

Why it scores here

The deck opens reliably: the Cyber Dragon starter package (Core, Herz, Nachster and Cyber Dragon) plus Cyber Emergency and Cyberdark Realm gives a high probability of a live starter in the opening hand, though this rests on a 2-card bootstrap that is Inferred from hypergeometric estimates. It converts into pressure through its Fusion, Xyz and Link Extra Deck options, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are both text-derived and the median is held down by the community guide calling the archetype weak. Its interaction is broad (four hand traps, Disablaster, Lightning Storm, Dominus Spark and Cybernetic Overflow), which lifts end-board quality, while the lack of a Side Deck and the absence of any tournament or win-rate data cap its adaptability and reliability. The score comes from consistency, median output and interaction across the whole system, not from Cyberdark or Cyber Dragon being popular archetypes and not from averaging individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52.4, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: unresolved passcode (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 0.80*52.4 + 0.20*48 = 51.5, then context modifiers -1 = 50.5, rounded to 50

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.29 · 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

• Broad interaction suite: four hand traps, Disablaster x3, Dominus Spark, Cybernetic Overflow and Lightning Storm.
• Redundant Cyber Dragon starter package with GY recursion.
• Compact main deck with a 3-copy core and legal, verified card list.

Weaknesses

• No recorded boards, no win-rate or tournament data, so the ceiling and median are text-inferred.
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation.
• Finishers are weaker than the archetype's best (no Cyber End Dragon or Cyber Twin Dragon).

Critical choke points

• The Cyber Dragon starter group: removal of Core and Herz on the opponent's turn cuts off the main Fusion and Xyz lines.
• A single Cyber Dragon-named Extra Deck monster per route; if it is negated, the board stalls.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal with warning: 47 main, 13 extra, 0 side within master-duel size rules.; Droll & Lock Bird is Semi-Limited with 1 copy run and 2 legal.; Archetype usage: 16 of 25 core cards present (64%).
• Inferred: P(>=1 starter in 5-card hand)=0.292 for a 3-copy card (hypergeometric).; D1 engine accessibility and D2 brick management scores.; Interaction density and going-second board-breaking scores from card text.
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and Matchup/format fit D13 are Provisional with no dated metagame sample.
• 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. One passcode (10443957, 2 copies) could not be resolved to a card and was counted as main. No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN for going-first/second, matchup, or brick rates. Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied. No Side Deck registered for this deck.
