Sky Striker Deck #754336 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Midrange
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 7 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Not established: no recorded boards; a Yummy/Sky Striker Synchro or Link board with hand-trap protection is the implied plan (Inferred).; Ashura King and Nibiru, the Primal Being as board-breaking or closing bodies (Inferred from text).
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Yummy starter (Cooky☆Yummy, Lollipo☆Yummy, Cupsy☆Yummy) and a Level 1 or Link-1 enabler, then Synchro or Link toward Yummy★Snatchy / Gravity Controller (Inferred).
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 18 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence, Droll) to break the opponent's starter, then rebuild from the remaining hand (Inferred).
• Recovery: Mulcharmy draw effects and Yummy recursion from the GY, plus searchers (Cupsy☆Yummy, Sky Striker Mobilize - Engage!) (Inferred).
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck has no Side Deck (0 cards).

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal in TCG: seven copy-limit or forbidden-card violations (including Forbidden Triple Tactics Talent, Crossout Designator, Cupsy★Yummy Way and F.A. Dawn Dragster), so it is capped at 25 and scored as theoretical/structural only. Structurally the 18 hand traps and 10 negation or removal texts give the deck strong interaction density and a good going-second answer rate (about 92% to see at least one hand trap in a six-card hand, Inferred). The engine is weaker: only 3 of 54 main-deck copies carry the exact Sky Striker name, and the Yummy and Mulcharmy lines are split across sub-archetypes, so starter access is middling (about 66% for the 10-copy core group to appear in a five-card hand, Inferred). No combos, guides, tournament link or Side Deck were supplied, so the ceiling and median are text-only estimates. Popularity and archetype usage were not credited as power, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary; Stun secondary (not blended into the weights, cap applied by legality). Structural ≈ 50.6, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12); illegal cap (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 48.9; modifiers -12 gives 36.9; Illegal cap applied, so final = 25 (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.26 · 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

• 18 hand traps and about 18 negation texts give dense interaction, especially going second
• Multiple independent interruption routes (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Ghost Belle, Droll, Mulcharmy recursion)
• Synchro and Link Extra Deck coverage with Ashura King and Nibiru as closing bodies

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: copy-limit overages and four Forbidden cards
• Exact-name archetype purity is 4.3%; the Yummy, Mulcharmy and Sky Striker lines compete for slots
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• High brick risk: many hand traps and Yummy-only starters need specific enablers

Critical choke points

• Forbidden Cupsy★Yummy Way is the Yummy Synchro enabler; it must be replaced or the Yummy line loses its Extra Deck route
• A single Level-1 or Link-1 enabler gates most Yummy starters (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: 7 copy-limit or Forbidden violations; Main 54 and Extra 15 are within TCG size rules; Side 0 is below the 0-15 range but is allowed as empty; 18 hand traps, 18 negation texts and 10 Trap cards in the Main Deck; Exact-name archetype purity 4.3%
• Inferred: Starter P(≥1 in opening 5) ≈ 0.26 (3 copies) and archetype core ≈ 0.66; P(≥1 hand trap in going-second 6-card hand) ≈ 0.92; Yummy line is the intended engine, and hand traps are the protection layer
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick rates) No Side Deck: post-side plan cannot be evaluated Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
