Sky Striker Deck #754606 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link-chain into Sky Striker Ace monsters (Zero, Kagari, Raye and Extra Link Ace bodies) for board pressure and ATK; Synchro/Fusion finisher (Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon; Albion is Forbidden and cannot be played)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Sky Striker Mobilize - Linkage!, Engage!, Pot of Desires or Sloth, then link out into Sky Striker Ace monsters; hold hand traps for the opponent's first interruption
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Droll) to break the opponent's starter, then rebuild with the Mulcharmy draw engine and link into the Extra Deck
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw on summon and Pot cards refill the hand; Sky Striker Spells in the GY enable Mecha and Ace recursion
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck (side_count 0)

Why it scores here

This list is not a legal build: it runs Albion the Branded Dragon and Called by the Grave (both Forbidden) and exceeds the copy limits on Ash Blossom, The Fallen and Mobilize - Engage! (3 vs 2) and Droll (2 vs 1). Scoring is therefore structural-only and the final score is capped at 30. The structure is coherent: the archetype core is present with P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.81, and the deck carries a dense interaction layer (13 hand traps, negation and removal text) plus a card-advantage engine (Pot of Desires, Pot of Sloth, Mulcharmy draw effects). Conversion is text-inferred because no recorded boards exist, and the deck has no side deck, so post-side adaptability scores very low. The score was built from the system (consistency, interaction, resource flow, and Extra Deck coverage), not from averaging individual card scores or from Sky Striker's popularity in usage statistics.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_and_copy_limit_exposure (-10). Final formula: Illegal: structural-only. Uncapped 0.80*Structural(55) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + Modifiers(-10) = 42, capped to 30 for legality. Meta Power provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.81 · 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

• Archetype core is present at 15 copies with high opening-hand access (~0.81)
• Dense interaction layer: 13 hand traps plus negation and removal text
• Strong draw and refill engine (Pot of Desires, Pot of Sloth, Mulcharmy)
• Link-based Extra Deck covers multiple Sky Striker Ace routes

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Forbidden cards and copy-limit overages
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• Low archetype purity (41%) and many generic or off-theme cards dilute the engine
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and floor are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Sky Striker Ace link routes depend on Sky Striker Mobilize and Mecha Spells being in hand or GY
• Forbidden Albion removes the Fusion finisher, leaving the Extra Deck thinner than designed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 and Extra 15 are within the TCG size rules; Albion the Branded Dragon and Called by the Grave are Forbidden in the banlist; Ash Blossom, The Fallen, Mobilize - Engage! and Droll are over copy limit; Archetype usage: Ash Blossom 90%, Camellia 90%, Hornet Drones 80%, Fuwalos 75%, Little Knight 75%
• Inferred: Hypergeometric opening-hand access (~0.81 core, ~0.82 hand trap going second); Interaction layering and draw-engine quality read from card text; Strategy classification as Combo with Stun and Toolbox secondaries
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are inferred only Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck; post-side plan cannot be evaluated
