Runner ups: Amazon, Drytron, Galaxy-Eyes. Lunalight

The reason why the runner-ups don’t make it is mostly because bad trap support.

Honestly, my biggest thing is multi-attack. Ever since Yugioh Arc V I loved multi-attack. It’s the best and coolest way to end a duel. When you’re losing and you top deck that one card that combos into you finishing by destroying your opponent’s monsters. 👌

Also Cyberdark End Dragon is literally a fusion of two extremely powerful (albeit outdated) monsters combined into something virtually unstoppable. And it powers itself up with multi-attack. A towers with 5000 attack, that gets

What I want:

• Please give the archetype another way to search its “Cyber” spell/trap cards. Nova is extremely easy to negate, and actually clashes with the Cyberdark on normal summons sometimes. This is especially true given how important Cyberdark Invasion is to maintaining defensive pressure; and without it Cyberdarkness Dragon is unusable.

• The Cyberdark need more good monsters. At least something that doesn’t eat a normal summon. Like Nova, the trio is absolutely useless when negated on summon, and can brick. Or if we’re going to turn them into material fother we need a better way to keep from bricking. Cybernetic Horizon is extremely good, but isn’t worth much when you can’t search it (see above).

• Also give Cyber another good searchable trap card. Maybe something that works defensively with recovery. Cyber Network was brilliant for this, but only gripe is it made it so you couldn’t attack that turn or use your monster’s effects; and nowadays it’s way too slow. A card that offers protection and/or recovery would be perfect. Even if a card like that would be a one-of.

• Release Cyberdark Laser Barrier Dragon. Just do it. The fact they haven’t been retrained yet is astounding.

Edit:

Favorite matchup:

Against Galaxy-Photon. You ever seen an 11200 ATK Neo-Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon face off against a Power Bonded 11600 Cyberdark End Dragon. You don’t get more anime than that.
