Sky Striker Deck #762406 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link Summon Sky Striker Ace monsters (Zero, Kagari) to build a board for attacks; Ace - Zero and Kagari carry 2000 and 1500+ ATK (Inferred from card text); Off-archetype boss monsters: The Dragon that Devours the Dogma (3000 ATK) and Albion the Branded Dragon (2500 ATK), which need Fallen of Albaz material the list does not reliably provide (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Mobilize spells and Radiant Typhoon Vision to search and draw toward Sky Striker Aces, Link Summon a Zero or Kagari, and protect the board with Solemn Judgment and Called by the Grave (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Evenly Matched) to break the opponent's first summon, then rebuild Link Monsters from the 6-card hand (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recur Sky Striker spells from the GY through Mecha and Lemnisgate effects, and draw through Pot of Sloth and Pot of Desires (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck has no Side Deck (side_count 0), so it cannot adapt between games

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal in TCG: three copies each of Ash Blossom, The Fallen & The Virtuous and Sky Striker Mobilize - Engage! exceed their Semi-Limited limit of two, so the result is capped at 35 and labelled theoretical and structural-only. The engine itself is coherent at the top: the archetype core (17 copies) gives an Inferred 0.86 chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, and Mobilize plus Radiant Typhoon Vision supply search. The score is held down by the system rather than by any single card: 42 of 55 Main Deck copies sit outside the exact archetype name, and the Branded, Albaz, Ecclesia, Greed and Mulcharmy pieces compete for slots and spell-count requirements. Interaction is the strongest area, with 10 hand traps and 14 negation-text cards giving a 0.72 Inferred chance of a hand trap in a 6-card going-second hand. There is no side deck, no combo data, no guides and no tournament record, so floor and median output and matchup fit remain Provisional or unknown, and no popularity or usage figure was used to earn points. Card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 54.5, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-3); banlist exposure (-2); illegal-deck cap (0). Final formula: Uncapped: 0.80*Structural(54.5) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(42) - 5 modifiers = 47; Illegal-deck cap applied: final = 35 (theoretical/structural-only, Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.86 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.14 (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 well represented (17 copies) with an Inferred 0.86 chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand
• Dense interaction: 10 hand traps and 14 negation-text cards, with several copies of Ash Blossom, Droll and Ghost Ogre
• Link-based end boards (Ace Zero, Kagari, Azalea) with fast Extra Deck access

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts on three cards; the list cannot be played as built in TCG
• 42 of 55 Main Deck copies are off the exact archetype name, which weakens engine coherence
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side adjustment
• Many dead or conditional cards (Level-0 spells, Pots, situational hand traps) in a 40-card Level-0 heavy list

Critical choke points

• Mobilize - Engage! and Linkage! must hit to reach Sky Striker Aces; both are a single-card dependency for many lines
• Going-second openings with no hand trap and no Mobilize brick

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Ash Blossom, The Fallen & The Virtuous and Sky Striker Mobilize - Engage! each run 3 copies against a limit of 2; Main 55 and Extra 15 are within the TCG size rules; Side is 0; Archetype purity 40 percent (28 of 70 exact name copies in the Main/Extra list); No combos, guides or tournament record in the evidence
• Observed: Usage stats: Called by the Grave and Mulcharmy Fuwalos are core cards at 96 and 92 percent inclusion; Camellia and Purulia are missing core cards
• Inferred: Archetype core opening-hand access 0.86 from hypergeometric odds; Hand-trap access 0.72 in a 6-card going-second hand; Interaction density is high from card-text negation and removal reads; Going-first and going-second power estimated from text and probability, not recorded boards
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13) need a dated metagame sample; Tournament reliability is an estimate with no per-pilot match record
• 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/second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown No side deck: post-side plan cannot be evaluated Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck is Illegal, so the final score is capped and labelled theoretical
