There are some nice synergy going on here. The Cydras allow me to bring out Artifact Durandal easily. and it is the main xyz i usually go for. The Extra Deck is just a bunch of Rank 5, Durandals, and Chimeratechs.
The focal play of the deck though centered around the interaction between Cyber Network and what is essentially a superior MST in its own theme deck: Artifact Movement. Basically you play Network and wait until your opponent's turn (the turn before it blows up) and destroy it with Movement. You'll get to set an Artifact of your choice and Network will then dies and blow your recently set Artifact. This is just a 2-card interaction however. Say, if you have another Artifact in s/t zone alongside these two, you can easily end up with a full frontrow by the end of yout opponent's turn (and blow stuff with Moralltach) and without a need to skip the Battle Phase. Note that Theosophy also has similar 'drawback' but it should never be used during your turn anyway.
There are definitely rooms to work with here, especially since I play Upstart Goblins and even have 4 empty slots left in the end (most likely to be filled with Artifacts) although I think I have a rather solid core of the list. Its a fun idea but it might turn out to be promising

Update:
After more and more testing, I'm liking this even more. Lightray Sorcerer is just fine but is a bit lackluster. Cyber Eltanin is a thing that I won't consider for this variant. It's tutorable, it's the best follow up to post-Network play but it is another card that will do nothing with a hand full of Artifacts. I'm currently trying Instant Fusions over Sorcerer alongside the new Machine fusion but it's not as good as I expect it to be really.
Here's my list atm :
-3 Upstart Goblin
-2 Lightray Sorcerer
-1 Cyber Network
+ 1 Effect Veiler
+ 1 Honest
+ 2 Pot of Duality
+ 2 Instant Fusion (+2 Panzer Dragon)
+ 1 Chain Whirlwind
which brings it up to 37. The 3 final slots would go to 2 Artifact Labrys and 1 Artifact Beagalltach.
As for Upstart vs Duality, Duality is superior when trying to set up; that is the turn when I summon Core, which is also the turn when I set the Artifacts. In a stalled board state, Upstart feels bad. I'm in no urge to play Upstart here since there is high chance that the card I draw from Upstart won't break the stalled board open. If that is the case, why not play Duality? Upstart Goblin is superior when trying to find instant answer. In decks like Dragon Ruler, where you thin the deck with Dragons + draw cards, Upstart is gold.
There is one fatal flaw though. If you play against this, save your MST for Cyber Network during MY Battle Phase. I can work around this though and many people have no brain when they see MST anyway so its all good for now.
