Sky Striker Deck #765357 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 53/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link Summon Sky Striker Ace monsters from the Extra Deck (Azalea Temperance 2500 ATK, Kagari, Zero, Zeke, Camellia) and attack through an interaction-protected board; Grind card advantage with Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird and Mulcharmy Fuwalos, then convert the spell-count Link boards over several turns
• Turn 1 (going first): Inferred: open a Sky Striker starter or searcher (Mobilize - Linkage / Engage, Widow Anchor, Raye or Roze as Main Deck Ace Special Summons), then Link into an Ace; keep Ash Blossom, Droll and Maxx C for the opponent's first answer
• Turn 2 (going second): Inferred: use Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C and Crossout Designator to strip the opponent's first-turn play, then Link through the remaining board; Forbidden Crown and Widow Anchor cover one monster each
• Recovery: Inferred: Sky Striker Mobilize searches and Ace Link 'Special Summon from Extra' effects regrow a board after one disruption; Lemnisgate and Ace effects return Spells from the GY to the deck or hand
• After siding: None: the list has no Side Deck, so the deck has no post-side plan (verified)

Why it scores here

The list is legal in Master Duel (40 Main, 15 Extra, Limited and Semi-Limited copy limits respected) and runs a dense Sky Striker core of 26 archetype copies, so the engine is almost always present: the probability of at least one Sky Striker card in a 5-card opening hand is about 0.997, and about 0.69 of hands can reach a searcher (Inferred from hypergeometric estimates). Conversion comes from Link Summons into the Ace monsters and from a 13-card negation and removal text package; these are read from card text, not from recorded boards, so the ceiling and median are Inferred and carry wider uncertainty because no combo boards exist for this deck. Interaction is broad (Ash Blossom, Droll and Maxx C as hand traps; Crossout, Forbidden Crown and MST as answers), which supports resilience and going-second scores. The score is held down by the lack of a Side Deck (zero post-side plan), by the Albion and Ecclesia Extra Deck slots whose route is missing its Fallen of Albaz material, and by a splash spread across Radiant Typhoon, Mulcharmy, Branded, Forbidden and Ecclesia (only 51 percent exact-name purity). The score is built from consistency, median output and interaction on the system; popularity (the Sky Striker usage stats) confirmed the list is real and accessible, but it did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 58.5, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: No Side Deck (-2); Splash dead-route and off-archetype spread (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Legal list with no copy-limit or size violations (verified)
• High Sky Striker core presence: 26 copies, starter access near-certain (Inferred)
• Broad negation and removal text package across hand traps and spells (Inferred from text)
• Compact main deck with 20 distinct cards and 7 one-ofs

Weaknesses

• No Side Deck, so zero post-side adaptability (verified)
• Albion the Branded Dragon has no Fallen of Albaz material in the list (verified absence)
• Splash spread across five archetypes; exact-name purity 50.9 percent
• No recorded combo boards or win-rate data to confirm the median

Critical choke points

• Mobilize - Linkage and Engage as the main searchers: each is 3 copies, and a single hit on the Link Ace route depends on them (Inferred)
• Ace Link summons depend on the Extra Deck; a single Link disruption can stall the board (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side, copy limits respected; Side Deck count 0; Fallen of Albaz is absent from the deck list; Albion requires Fallen of Albaz plus 1 LIGHT monster (card text excerpt); Copy histogram and Extra Deck breakdown (13 Link, 1 Synchro, 1 Fusion); Archetype usage stats: Sky Striker core inclusion rates
• Observed: Usage statistics show the archetype-standard core is present (12 of 25 core cards)
• Inferred: Engine accessibility estimate (P>=1 starter about 0.34; searcher about 0.69; core about 0.997); Interaction density and resilience from negation and removal text; Going-first and going-second estimates from card text; Pilotability from Link-chain complexity
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13), archetype meta-share absent
• 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, going-second, matchup, brick, starter or OTK rates) No Side Deck: post-side plan cannot be evaluated Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
