Sky Striker Deck #766071 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 31/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Link/Synchro boards (Yummy Way Synchros, Sky Striker Ace Kagari/Camellia) and Light and Darkness Ritual boss monsters (Black Chaos, Black Luster Soldier, Magician of Dark Chaos); Ritual boss recursion through Skull Archfiend of Chaos and Mind Shuffle, plus Mulcharmy draw engine
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Yummy or Mulcharmy starter, extend into a Link-1 or Level 2 Synchro, then hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Ghost Belle as hand traps against the first Ash-beatable effect
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle and Droll to answer the opponent's board, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draws and Ritual or Synchro follow-up
• Recovery: Recycle Yummy Spells from the GY via Yummyusment and Cupsy Yummy Way searches, and Skull Archfiend of Chaos from GY or hand
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The list runs a Yummy and Mulcharmy starter base with a Light and Darkness Ritual finisher package, and only 3 of its 55 Main Deck copies carry the Sky Striker name, so the deck is not a coherent single-archetype engine. Its 11 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Droll, Nibiru) give real interaction density and a reasonable chance of answering a first effect, which is why D7 is the strongest score. The engine is only moderately reliable: the archetype-core group has about 87% chance of at least one copy in a going-first opening hand, but a 12.5% proxy brick rate and the absence of recorded boards keep the ceiling and median scores low. No combo boards, tournament results or win rates exist, so the score comes from consistency, interaction and resilience measured on the system and not from averaging card scores or from the archetype's popularity. The list is over the copy limit for Ash Blossom and has no side deck, so the score is capped low and should be read as theoretical and structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.8 Midrange + 0.2 Toolbox (disclosed hybrid). Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 44, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Illegal copy limit (-10); No side deck (-5). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*47 + 0.20*42 - 15 = 31 (Illegal deck: theoretical-only score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.87 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.13 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• 11 hand traps with overlapping negate and destroy effects give real first-effect interaction
• Mulcharmy and Yummy starters are redundant, so the opening hand has several ways to begin a line
• Extra Deck contains a wide Link and Synchro base, so Extra access is flexible

Weaknesses

• Only 4.3% exact archetype purity: the Sky Striker core (Camellia, Zeke, Shizuku, Hayate, Engage) is largely absent
• Ash Blossom is run 3 times against a limit of 2, which makes the list illegal as built
• No side deck: nothing adapts across games in a best-of-3
• No combo data, so the ceiling and median of the line cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom over-limit: an illegal copy count has to be cut before the deck can be played in any sanctioned event
• A single Link-1 or Level-2 Synchro enabler gates most of the Yummy line, and the deck runs few of them

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal from a copy-limit violation (Ash Blossom 3 vs 2); Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0; purity 4.3%; 11 hand traps counted from card text
• Inferred: Starter probability about 0.87 and brick about 0.125 from the hypergeometric table; Interaction density rated from text read of hand traps and removal; Going-first and going-second estimates from card roles
• Provisional: Meta Power is null because no dated metagame sample was supplied; Matchup fit (D13) rests on no meta data
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rate Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck supplied, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
