"'''Cyberdark'''", spelled "'''Cyber Dark'''" (サイバー・ダーク ''Saibā Dāku'') in Japanese, is an [[archetype]] of [[DARK]] [[Dragon]] and [[Machine]] [[Monster Card|monsters]], as well as a sub-archetype of the "[[Cyber]]" archetype. These cards were used by [[Zane Truesdale]] following his "rebirth" in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' anime as a forbidden "Underworld Deck" (called "Cyber Art Reverse" in the original).

In the anime, the Deck's unquenchable thirst for battle and improvement forces its owner to go past his/her limit, slowly damaging the user's body over time. Because of this drawback, only Duelists with strong wills and dreams of progression can use this Deck for long periods of time. Depending on how strong-willed the Duelist is, the Duelist using this Deck will experience heart trauma, which may lead to death, as displayed by Zane Truesdale after using this Deck for so long. Even [[Syrus Truesdale]] experienced some cardiovascular pain when he decided to take over Zane's Duel against [[Makoto Inotsume]]. However, Syrus was able to overcome this problem by respecting the Deck, something that Zane had not done.

As a supporting theme, these cards can be inserted into many [[Dragon Deck]]s, given there are enough [[Level]] 3 and lower Dragon-Type monsters for support (such as "[[Masked Dragon]]", "[[Armed Dragon LV3]]", "[[Hunter Dragon]]", some of the "[[Dragunity]]" cards, etc.). Alternatively, it is possible to build a "Cyberdark" Deck by using some three copies of "[[Hunter Dragon]]" and some other Dragon-Type monsters, as well as cards to send the Dragon-Type monsters to the [[Graveyard]].
+
A "Cyberdark" [[Deck]] is a varied Deck primarily focused on [[Beatdown]] and [[Control]] by quickly and constantly [[Normal Summon]]ing "Cyberdark" monsters with high [[ATK]]. The Deck uses [[Machine]] monsters primarily and [[Dragon]] monsters secondarily as support, and they can be featured in Dragon-oriented Decks that use enough low-[[Level]] monsters.
−
 
 
−
Apart from being 2000 - 2500 [[ATK]] beatsticks, "Cyberdark" monsters also works very well with [[Virus]] cards—"[[Eradicator Epidemic Virus]]", "[[Deck Devastation Virus]]", and (after the [[equip]]ped Dragon-Type monster is destroyed) "[[Crush Card Virus]]". Since the effect of "Cyberdark" monsters to equip other monsters to themselves only activates when that monster is [[Normal Summon]]ed, it is a good idea to return them to the hand (with "[[Compulsory Evacuation Device]]", "[[Relieve Monster]]", etc.) if their Equip Card is destroyed. "[[Dark Eruption]]" allows the player to recover "Cyberdark" monsters from the Graveyard. "[[Creeping Darkness]]" can be used to search the "Cyberdark" monsters by banishing 2 DARK monsters from the Graveyard.
 
  
−
A "Cyberdark" Deck is a varied Deck spanning [[Beatdown]], [[Burn]], and [[Control]] Deck methods. The Deck uses [[Machine]]-[[Type]] monsters primarily and [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] monsters secondarily as support.
+
The original Level 4 "Cyberdark" monsters have [[Trigger Effect]]s to [[equip]] themselves with a Level 3 or lower Dragon monster from the GY when they are Normal Summoned. They also gain ATK equal to the ATK of the equipped monster, and the equipped monster also acts as destruction substitute when a "Cyberdark" monster would be destroyed by battle. "[[Cyberdark Chimera]]" can send another "Cyberdark" monster to the GY, if sent there itself, and is able to not only search "[[Power Bond]]", but also allows its user to use materials in the GY for their next Fusion Summon after activating this effect.
  
−
Each "Cyberdark" [[Machine]]-[[Type]] monster has a different offense-based effect. Each has of the Level 4 "Cyberdark" monsters has a [[Trigger Effect]] to equip itself with a Level 3 or lower Dragon-Type monster from the [[Graveyard]] when it is [[Normal Summon]]ed; it gains [[ATK]] equal to the ATK of the monster equipped by this effect, and the monster equipped by this effect is destroyed instead if the equipped monster would be [[destroyed by battle]]. The "Cyberdark" Fusion Monsters, "[[Cyberdark Dragon]]" and "[[Cyberdarkness Dragon]]", also have an effect to equip themselves with a Dragon-Type monster from the Graveyard (regardless of Level) when they are [[Special Summon]]ed; it gains ATK equal to the ATK of the monster equipped by this effect.
+
"[[Cyberdark Cannon]]" and "[[Cyberdark Claw]]" are Level 3 Dragon monsters, so they can be used as [[Equip Card]]s by the Machine members. When they are sent to the GY while equipped to a monster, they can draw or return a card to the hand. Each can also be [[discard]]ed from the hand to add a "Cyberdark" card from the Deck to the hand. When the equipped monster [[battles]], the player can [[send]] a monster to the GY, which helps perform further Graveyard setup and trigger certain effects.  
  
−
In addition to having equipping effects, "[[Cyberdark Horn]]", "[[Cyberdark Edge]]", and "[[Cyberdark Keel]]" each have an additional effect that punishes defensive play by an opponent: "[[Cyberdark Horn]]" inflicts [[piercing]] damage, "[[Cyberdark Edge]]" can [[direct attack|attack directly]], and "[[Cyberdark Keel]]" inflicts [[effect damage]]. "[[Cyberdark Dragon]]" gains 100 ATK for each monster in its controller's Graveyard. The potency of the Deck lies with its ability to quickly Normal Summon "Cyberdark" monsters with high [[ATK]].
+
"[[Cyberdark Dragon]]" and "[[Cyberdarkness Dragon]]", can equip themselves with a Dragon monster upon their Summon similarly to the Level 4 Machine members, but with no restrictions beyond the target being Dragon. "Cyberdarkness Dragon" is also able to equip itself with Machine monsters. "Cyberdarkness Dragon" has 2000 [[original ATK]], compared to "Cyberdark Dragon's" 1000 ATK, and it can send Equip Cards to the Graveyard to negate the activation of any opponent's card or effect. However, "[[Cyberdark Impact!]]" being searchable by "Claw", using only 3 monsters compared to "Cyberdarkness Dragon's" 5, returning them to the Deck instead of [[banish]]ing them, and gaining 100 ATK for each monster in its owner's GY, keeps "Cyberdark Dragon" as a usable option on its own right.  
  
−
"[[Cyberdark Cannon]]" and "[[Cyberdark Claw]]" are Level 3 Dragon-Type monsters, allowing them to be treated as Equip Cards by the Machine-type members. They both have 1600 ATK points, allowing the Level 4 "Cyberdark" monsters to increase their ATK to 2400. When sent to the [[Graveyard]] while equipped to a monster, its possessor can add a card to their hand (drawing in the case of "Cannon", adding a "Cyberdark" monster from the Graveyard in the case of "Claw"). Each can also be discarded from the hand to add a card from the Deck to the hand (a Machine-Type "Cyberdark" in the case of "Cannon", a Cyberdark Spell/Trap Card in the case of "Claw"). When the equipped monster [[battles]], the player can [[send]] a monster to the Graveyard (from their [[Main Deck]] in the case of "Cannon", their [[Extra Deck]] in the case of "Claw").  
+
The [[Field Spell Card]] "[[Cyberdark Inferno]]" can protect "Cyberdark" monsters from being targeted or destroyed by opponents' card effects while equipped with a card, and also allows the player to return a "Cyberdark" monster to the hand and Normal Summon it again to change or restore the monster equipped to it. Its effect when destroyed can search for a "[[Polymerization (archetype)|Polymerization]]" or "[[Fusion (archetype)|Fusion]]" Spell Card, such as "[[Overload Fusion]]".
  
−
Using a lower amount of "Cyberdark" monsters will require a recycling technique to keep them in the hand, which is necessary to remain aggressive. "[[Monster Reincarnation]]" can return them and [[discard]] a Dragon-Type monster at the same time, but this results in -1 [[hand advantage]]. "[[Dark Eruption]]" does this at no cost (thus results in no change in hand advantage), but is more limited in what it can target.
+
"[[Cybernetic Horizon (card)|Cybernetic Horizon]]" can quickly fill up the GY with 5 "Cyberdark" monsters or as many "[[Cyber Dragon (archetype)|Cyber Dragon]]" monsters as possible. to facilitate the [[Fusion Summon]] of "Cyberdarkness Dragon" or "[[Chimeratech Rampage Dragon]]" for a quick [[OTK]]. "[[Cyberdark Realm]]" searches "Claw" or "Cannon", which can discard themselves to search important cards of the strategy, while filling the GY with [[Fusion Material]]s for "Cyberdarkness Dragon".
  
−
The [[Field Spell Card]] "[[Cyberdark Inferno]]" prevents "Cyberdark" monsters from being targeted or destroyed by opponents' card effects while equipped with a card, and also allows the player to return a "Cyberdark" monster to the hand and Normal Summon it again to change or restore the monster equipped to it. Additionally, if it is destroyed, the player can add a [[Polymerization (archetype)|Polymerization]]/[[Fusion (archetype)]] card to their hand, giving them access to "[[Future Fusion]]" and "[[Overload Fusion]]".
+
The Deck also requires the integration of the "[[Cyber Dragon (archetype)|Cyber Dragon]]" archetype for it to reach its maximum potential. "[[Cyber Dragon Core]]" can search "Cybernetic Horizon" and other "[[Cyber]]" Spell/Traps. "[[Cyber Dragon Herz]]" can activate its effect if sent to the GY by "Horizon" and provide further consistency. "[[Cyber Dragon Nachster]]" can Special Summon "Cyberdark Chimera" from the GY so it can search "Power Bond" without using the Normal Summon. "Chimeratech Rampage Dragon" can be Summoned by using copies of the "Cyber Dragon" monsters and has immense OTK potential, especially if Summoned with the help of "Power Bond" and "Cyberdark Chimera". "[[Cyber Dragon Sieger]]" adds further OTK potential to this Deck by increasing the ATK of any Machine monster with 2100 or more ATK by another 2100, thus including the "Cyberdark" Machine monster with sufficiently strong Equip Cards.
  
−
"[[Cyberdarkness Dragon]]" is twice as strong as "[[Cyberdark Dragon]]", and it can send its own Equip Cards to the Graveyard to negate the activation of any opponent's card or effect.
+
====Equip options====
 +
"[[Attachment Cybern]]" is the ideal [[Equip Card]] for the original 3 "Cyberdark" monsters, as it grants them total of 3000 [[ATK]] if equipped by their effects. "[[Hunter Dragon]]" and "[[Feedran, the Winds of Mischief]]" have the highest original ATK of all [[Level]] 3 or lower [[Dragon]] monsters with 1700, resulting in 2500 ATK for the Level 4 "Cyberdark" monsters. "[[Leng Ling]]", while having only 1500 ATK, will also set the ATK of any "Cyberdark" it is equipped to at 2500 ATK and allow it to attack twice, and it can Summon itself to the [[field]] while [[equip]]ped. "Cannon", "Claw" and "[[Autorokket Dragon]]" are second to "Hunter Dragon" in terms of original ATK, with 1600 ATK each. "[[Masked Dragon]]" is both an eligible target for the Level 4 "Cyberdark" monsters and can search most other eligible targets. "[[Red-Eyes Baby Dragon]]" can add a Level 1 Dragon monster from the Deck to the hand when sent to the Graveyard while equipped to a monster. "[[Dragon Buster Destruction Sword]]" is also an ideal Equip Card, as it can prevent the opponent from Summoning monsters from their [[Extra Deck]].
  
−
Due to its focus on Normal Summons, this Deck works well with "[[Pot of Duality]]" and "[[Card of Demise]]".
+
"[[Cyberdark Invasion]]" and "Cyberdark Realm" also expand the scope of cards "Cyberdark" monsters can be equipped with. "[[Cyber End Dragon]]" can also be sent from the Extra Deck to the GY with "Cybernetic Horizon" and serve as an Equip Card for "Cyberdarkness Dragon", increasing its ATK up to 6000, or enable the Summon of the Deck's ultimate ace monster: "Cyberdark End Dragon"
  
−
===Equip options===
+
High-Level Dragon monsters are usually kept to a minimum, as most of them do not contribute to the main strategy, tend to [[brick]], and can only be equipped to "[[Cyberdark Dragon]]", "[[Cyberdarkness Dragon]]" or "[[Cyberdark End Dragon]]", the latter two of which are also not limited to Dragon monsters for equipping, so a mere "[[Cyber Dragon]]" can provide them enough relevant ATK boost. The deck has plenty of options to send powerful Dragon or [[Machine]] monsters to the GY from the Extra Deck, allowing the player to run less high ATK monsters in the [[Main Deck]] solely to be equipped to the Fusion Monsters.

"[[Hunter Dragon]]" has the highest original ATK of all Level 3 or lower [[Dragon]]-Type monsters with 1700, resulting in 2500 ATK for the Level 4 "Cyberdark" monsters. "[[Cyberdark Cannon]]", "[[Cyberdark Claw]]" and "[[Autovullet Dragon]]" are second to "Hunter Dragon" in terms of ATK increase with 1600 ATK each. "[[Masked Dragon]]" is both an eligible target for the Level 4 "Cyberdark" monsters and can search any other eligible target except "Hunter Dragon". "[[Armed Dragon LV3]]" can be Tributed for "[[Armed Dragon LV5]]", thus sending itself to the Graveyard to then be targeted by a "Cyberdark" monster. "[[Magna Drago]]", a [[Tuner monster]], can be used to perform [[Synchro Summon]]s, which makes it an available target for "Cyberdark" monsters. "[[Exploder Dragon]]" is useful for destroying opponents' monsters. "[[Dread Dragon]]" can search for other Level 3 or lower Dragon-Type monsters when [[destroyed by battle]] and sent to the Graveyard, and is also a Tuner monster. "[[Red-Eyes Baby Dragon]]" can add a Level 1 Dragon-Type monster from the Deck to the hand when sent to the Graveyard while equipped to a monster.
 
−
 
 
−
"[[Future Fusion]]" is a fast way to fill up the Graveyard with Dragon-Type monsters. During the next turn after its activation, the player can reveal "[[Five-Headed Dragon]]" and send 5 Dragon-Type monsters from their Deck to the Graveyard. If "Future Fusion" remains on the field until the following turn, the player will Fusion Summon "Five-Headed Dragon", which is a powerful monster on its own.
 
−
 
 
−
Despite the low ATK range, the "[[Dragunity]]" [[archetype]] is suitable for "Cyberdark" Decks as they are Tuner monsters that have effects that only apply while equipped. "[[Dragon Mastery]]" can boost each "Cyberdark" monster's attack by 500, although equipping monsters to "Cyberdark" monsters with its effect does not provide the same bonuses as they gain for monsters equipped by the "Cyberdark" monsters' own effects. Level 4 Dragon-Type monsters (such as "[[Infernal Dragon]]", "[[Blizzard Dragon]]", and "[[Spear Dragon]]") are usually kept at a minimum, but are useful for their effects and to serve as targets for "[[Cyberdark Dragon]]".
 
−
 
 
−
* [[Dragunity Aklys]] (when a Cyberdark would be destroyed By Battle, destroys a card your opponent controls)
 
−
* [[Dragunity Brandistock]]
 
−
* [[Dragunity Corsesca]] (searches for more "Cyberdarks")
 
−
* [[Dragunity Partisan]] (for [[Synchro Summon]]ing support)
 
−
* [[Dragunity Phalanx]] (to [[Synchro Summon]] faster)
 
−
* [[Dragunity Pilum]] (for [[direct attack]]s; best used with "[[Cyberdark Keel]]" and "[[Cyberdark Horn]]")

High Level Dragon-Type monsters are usually kept to a minimum, since they can only be equipped to "[[Cyberdark Dragon]]" and "[[Cyberdarkness Dragon]]". "Cyberdark" monsters are [[DARK]] monsters, so "[[Dark Armed Dragon]]" can be used effectively in a "Cyberdark" Deck. [[Chaos Deck]]-themed strategies could be applied when using "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" and "[[The White Stone of Legend]]", which could fuel the Special Summoning of cards like "[[Darkflare Dragon]]" and "[[Lightpulsar Dragon]]". When paired with "[[Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon]]", the player can search for specific Dragon-Type monsters and Special Summon them from the Graveyard. This recyclable strategy could be used to swarm the field with Dragon-Type monsters for a [[Synchro Summon|Synchro]], [[Xyz Summon|Xyz]] or [[Link Summon]], or a simple [[beatdown]]. "[[Light and Darkness Dragon]]" can be added to the Graveyard and clears out the player's field, which can be used to send Dragon-Type monsters to the Graveyard. "Cyberdark" monsters may mix well with "[[Armed Dragon]]" Decks because of the high [[ATK]] [[beatstick]]s and because their [[Tribute fodder]] effects make them easy targets for the equip effect of the "Cyberdark" monsters. The "[[Malefic]]" archetype can be very useful to "[[Cyberdark Dragon]]", because they are fairly easy to Summon, have high ATK, and they send themselves to the Graveyard unless there is a [[Field Spell Card]] such as "[[Dragon Ravine]]" on the field, easily setting them up to power-up "Cyberdark Dragon" or "Cyberdarkness Dragon".

=== Weaknesses ===
 +
* The [[Deck]] is very heavily reliant on [[Normal Summon]]ing.
 +
* The Deck can constantly Summon high-[[ATK]] monsters with little investment, but due to the "Cyberdark" monsters boosting their [[ATK]] themselves up via an [[equip]]ped card, they are vulnerable to all forms of removal, even under "[[Cyberdark Inferno]]'s" protection.
 +
* Cards that lock access to the [[Graveyard]] such as "[[Necrovalley]]" or "[[Macro Cosmos]]".

Lists

"Cyberdark", spelled "Cyber Dark" (サイバー・ダーク Saibā Dāku) in Japanese, is an archetype of DARK Dragon and Machine monsters, as well as a sub-archetype of the "Cyber" archetype. These cards were used by Zane Truesdale following his "rebirth" in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime as a forbidden "Underworld Deck" (called "Cyber Art Reverse" in the original).

Anime

In the anime, the Deck's unquenchable thirst for battle and improvement forces its owner to go past his/her limit, slowly damaging the user's body over time. Because of this drawback, only Duelists with strong wills and dreams of progression can use this Deck for long periods of time. Depending on how strong-willed the Duelist is, the Duelist using this Deck will experience heart trauma, which may lead to death, as displayed by Zane Truesdale after using this Deck for so long. Even Syrus Truesdale experienced some cardiovascular pain when he decided to take over Zane's Duel against Makoto Inotsume. However, Syrus was able to overcome this problem by respecting the Deck, something that Zane had not done.

The "Cyberdark" monsters' equipping effects are represented as cables connecting to the Dragon monster's head and locking the monster in place with their claws.

Playing style

A "Cyberdark" Deck is a varied Deck primarily focused on Beatdown and Control by quickly and constantly Normal Summoning "Cyberdark" monsters with high ATK. The Deck uses Machine monsters primarily and Dragon monsters secondarily as support, and they can be featured in Dragon-oriented Decks that use enough low-Level monsters.

The original Level 4 "Cyberdark" monsters have Trigger Effects to equip themselves with a Level 3 or lower Dragon monster from the GY when they are Normal Summoned. They also gain ATK equal to the ATK of the equipped monster, and the equipped monster also acts as destruction substitute when a "Cyberdark" monster would be destroyed by battle. "Cyberdark Chimera" can send another "Cyberdark" monster to the GY, if sent there itself, and is able to not only search "Power Bond", but also allows its user to use materials in the GY for their next Fusion Summon after activating this effect.

"Cyberdark Cannon" and "Cyberdark Claw" are Level 3 Dragon monsters, so they can be used as Equip Cards by the Machine members. When they are sent to the GY while equipped to a monster, they can draw or return a card to the hand. Each can also be discarded from the hand to add a "Cyberdark" card from the Deck to the hand. When the equipped monster battles, the player can send a monster to the GY, which helps perform further Graveyard setup and trigger certain effects.

"Cyberdark Dragon" and "Cyberdarkness Dragon", can equip themselves with a Dragon monster upon their Summon similarly to the Level 4 Machine members, but with no restrictions beyond the target being Dragon. "Cyberdarkness Dragon" is also able to equip itself with Machine monsters. "Cyberdarkness Dragon" has 2000 original ATK, compared to "Cyberdark Dragon's" 1000 ATK, and it can send Equip Cards to the Graveyard to negate the activation of any opponent's card or effect. However, "Cyberdark Impact!" being searchable by "Claw", using only 3 monsters compared to "Cyberdarkness Dragon's" 5, returning them to the Deck instead of banishing them, and gaining 100 ATK for each monster in its owner's GY, keeps "Cyberdark Dragon" as a usable option on its own right.

The Field Spell Card "Cyberdark Inferno" can protect "Cyberdark" monsters from being targeted or destroyed by opponents' card effects while equipped with a card, and also allows the player to return a "Cyberdark" monster to the hand and Normal Summon it again to change or restore the monster equipped to it. Its effect when destroyed can search for a "Polymerization" or "Fusion" Spell Card, such as "Overload Fusion".

"Cybernetic Horizon" can quickly fill up the GY with 5 "Cyberdark" monsters or as many "Cyber Dragon" monsters as possible. to facilitate the Fusion Summon of "Cyberdarkness Dragon" or "Chimeratech Rampage Dragon" for a quick OTK. "Cyberdark Realm" searches "Claw" or "Cannon", which can discard themselves to search important cards of the strategy, while filling the GY with Fusion Materials for "Cyberdarkness Dragon".

The Deck also requires the integration of the "Cyber Dragon" archetype for it to reach its maximum potential. "Cyber Dragon Core" can search "Cybernetic Horizon" and other "Cyber" Spell/Traps. "Cyber Dragon Herz" can activate its effect if sent to the GY by "Horizon" and provide further consistency. "Cyber Dragon Nachster" can Special Summon "Cyberdark Chimera" from the GY so it can search "Power Bond" without using the Normal Summon. "Chimeratech Rampage Dragon" can be Summoned by using copies of the "Cyber Dragon" monsters and has immense OTK potential, especially if Summoned with the help of "Power Bond" and "Cyberdark Chimera". "Cyber Dragon Sieger" adds further OTK potential to this Deck by increasing the ATK of any Machine monster with 2100 or more ATK by another 2100, thus including the "Cyberdark" Machine monster with sufficiently strong Equip Cards.

Equip options

"Attachment Cybern" is the ideal Equip Card for the original 3 "Cyberdark" monsters, as it grants them total of 3000 ATK if equipped by their effects. "Hunter Dragon" and "Feedran, the Winds of Mischief" have the highest original ATK of all Level 3 or lower Dragon monsters with 1700, resulting in 2500 ATK for the Level 4 "Cyberdark" monsters. "Leng Ling", while having only 1500 ATK, will also set the ATK of any "Cyberdark" it is equipped to at 2500 ATK and allow it to attack twice, and it can Summon itself to the field while equipped. "Cannon", "Claw" and "Autorokket Dragon" are second to "Hunter Dragon" in terms of original ATK, with 1600 ATK each. "Masked Dragon" is both an eligible target for the Level 4 "Cyberdark" monsters and can search most other eligible targets. "Red-Eyes Baby Dragon" can add a Level 1 Dragon monster from the Deck to the hand when sent to the Graveyard while equipped to a monster. "Dragon Buster Destruction Sword" is also an ideal Equip Card, as it can prevent the opponent from Summoning monsters from their Extra Deck.

"Cyberdark Invasion" and "Cyberdark Realm" also expand the scope of cards "Cyberdark" monsters can be equipped with. "Cyber End Dragon" can also be sent from the Extra Deck to the GY with "Cybernetic Horizon" and serve as an Equip Card for "Cyberdarkness Dragon", increasing its ATK up to 6000, or enable the Summon of the Deck's ultimate ace monster: "Cyberdark End Dragon"

High-Level Dragon monsters are usually kept to a minimum, as most of them do not contribute to the main strategy, tend to brick, and can only be equipped to "Cyberdark Dragon", "Cyberdarkness Dragon" or "Cyberdark End Dragon", the latter two of which are also not limited to Dragon monsters for equipping, so a mere "Cyber Dragon" can provide them enough relevant ATK boost. The deck has plenty of options to send powerful Dragon or Machine monsters to the GY from the Extra Deck, allowing the player to run less high ATK monsters in the Main Deck solely to be equipped to the Fusion Monsters.
