S-Force Deck #736889 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Stun
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link-summon Sky Striker Aces and attack with Link Monsters such as Surgical Striker - S.P.E.C.T.R.A. and Sky Striker Ace - Raye, with Spell-count GY conditions unlocking their extra effects; Kashtira Fenrir and Kashtira Unicorn beatdown (both bodies are non-core and the Fenrir copy is illegal)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Sky Striker starter (Mobilize - Linkage!, Mobilize - Engage!, Widow Anchor) and convert it into an Ace Link Summon, using Spell-count GY conditions to unlock board effects
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand-trap the opponent's first summon or key Spell (Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird, Forbidden Droplet) and rebuild the Ace board from the GY
• Recovery: Recur Sky Striker Spells from the GY through Ace effects (Hayate, Kagari, Shizuku, Zeke) and Mecha Modules to refill the Spell count
• After siding: Not evaluable: the export has no Side Deck (0 cards), so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The list is illegal in OCG: it runs 3 Sky Striker Mobilize - Engage! (2 allowed), 2 Droll & Lock Bird (1 allowed), and 1 each of three Forbidden cards (Called by the Grave, Triple Tactics Talent, Kashtira Fenrir), so the score is capped and labeled structural-only. Structurally the deck reliably has a Sky Striker starter in hand (P(>=1 of the 3-copy Mobilize - Linkage! in 5 cards) = 0.25, with a 33-card archetype core in the main deck), converts it into Ace Link Summons with strong endboard interaction (8 hand traps and 12 negation-text cards), and has a respectable going-second hand-trap density (P(>=1 hand trap in 6 cards) = 0.63). It is held back by a lack of side deck, a high Spell-count dependency with many conditional 'if you control no monsters' effects, no combo data to measure the real floor or median, and the illegal copy counts. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype usage stats confirm the list is real but do not raise the score, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 38. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12); no Side Deck (-6). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 0.80*51 + 0.20*38 = 48.4, then context modifiers -18 -> 30; Illegal status caps the result as structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense Spell-based Sky Striker engine that links into strong Ace Link Monsters
• Eight hand traps and layered negation and removal text give good endboard interaction
• Real going-second hand-trap density (P>=1 in 6 cards = 0.63)

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts and three Forbidden cards in the list
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• Many conditional openers require an empty monster field, which is fragile
• No combo data to measure floor or median output

Critical choke points

• Sky Striker Mobilize - Linkage! (3 copies, P(>=1 in opening 5) = 0.25) as the main starter
• Monster-free field condition on most Sky Striker starters
• Spell count in the GY for board-effect upgrades

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal, with 5 over-limit violations under the OCG ban list; Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts; Card text and banlist status for every listed card
• Inferred: Starter access from the hypergeometric probabilities; Hand-trap density and going-second read; Choke-point and recovery read from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side Deck is empty, so post-side is unevaluable
