Dragonroid is neat as a Roid searcher or protection against negation for Fusion summoning but feels a little lack luster while Declaration of Rebirth is kinda more of a collectors card than something you would play in todays format.

At this point I am unsure if this is actually Cyberdark support.

Sure Declaration of Rebirth is used by Zane/Syrus to support Cyberdark Dragon (in the anime) and so is Dragonroid, however Declaration of Rebirth is (as also mentioned by Thomas★Zero) more of a collector/nostalgia card, rather than something helping Cyberdark, given that Cyberdarkness Dragon can also equip Machine monsters, the low-level Cyberdarks have Claw and Cannon available and Cyberdark End Dragon does not even care about Types, so it has practially no synergy.

 

As for Dragonroid ... the searching effect is actually decent, sadly there is currently (apart from Expressroid, which is still a stretch) not a single decent target and the graveyard effect to turn into a Dragon is hilarious if one can get something out of it, despite that it is still inferior to just equiping Claw/Cannon (especially Claw if one takes N'tss into consideration).

I like that they gave Dragonroid an effect that explains why Syrus would actually run it regardless of Cyberdark. The non-WIND qualifier is kind of amusing, though I supposed they need to stop this from also supporting Speedroids.

Mixeroid is the same, it prevents you from SS non-WIND roids, though I suppose it's ironic as both cards are WIND themselves.
