"'''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.
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==
The Deck also requires the integration of the "[[Field Spell CardCyber Dragon (archetype)|Cyber Dragon]] " archetype for it to reach its maximum potential. "[[Cyberdark InfernoCyber Dragon Core]]" prevents can search "CyberdarkCybernetic Horizon" monsters from being targeted or destroyed by opponents' card effects while equipped with a card, and also allows the player to return a other "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)|PolymerizationCyber]]" Spell/Traps. "[[Fusion (archetype)Cyber Dragon Herz]] card to their hand, giving them access " can activate its effect if sent to the GY by "Horizon" and provide further consistency. "[[Future FusionCyber 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". "[[Overload FusionCyber 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 [[Cyberdarkness 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 as strong as , and it can Summon itself to the [[field]] while [[equip]]ped. "Cannon", "Claw" and "[[Cyberdark 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 it can send its own Equip Cards 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 negate a monster. "[[Dragon Buster Destruction Sword]]" is also an ideal Equip Card, as it can prevent the activation of any opponent's card or effectfrom Summoning monsters from their [[Extra Deck]].

=== 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]]".
