Sky Striker Deck #769951 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 44 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link-summoned R.B. boards (R.B. The Brute Blues, R.B. Shepherd's Crook) backed by R.B. spell and trap recursion, with Super Starslayer TY-PHON - Sky Crisis as a single high-ATK Xyz finisher; Sky Striker Ace Link monsters (Camellia, Zeke, Amatsu, Kagari) as a second line, though the main deck supplies little Sky Striker support
• Turn 1 (going first): Open R.B. Stage Landing, Funk Dock or Ga10 monsters and Special Summon from hand into a Link-3 R.B. board; hold Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird for the opponent's first search or summon
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx "C", Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched) to strip the opponent's first board, then rebuild with R.B. Link Summons from hand
• Recovery: R.B. Operation Test and R.B. Funk Dock return R.B. monsters from the GY; Lambda Cannon and Lambda Blade add or send R.B. cards from the Deck
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs 0 side cards, so no post-side plan exists in the export

Why it scores here

The score comes from the deck as a system: the R.B. Link core (3x Brute Blues, 2x Shepherd's Crook, 2x VALCan Booster) and its spell/trap recursion give a plausible repeatable Link-summon plan, while 9 hand traps and about 13 negation-text cards give strong interaction, especially going second. Consistency is held back by low starter density (P(at least one 3-copy starter in a 5-card hand) is about 0.31 and the archetype core group reaches about 0.54) and by a loose mix of Sky Striker, Mecha Phantom Beast, Mulcharmy and Therion cards, with only 5 exact-name Sky Striker copies (8.2% purity). The deck has no recorded boards, no side deck, and no tournament or meta data, so combo ceiling, median output, and matchup fit are inferred from text alone. Its 17-card Extra Deck is over the OCG limit of 15, so it is capped as an illegal, structural-only read. Popularity and archetype usage were not credited, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Stun secondary (approx. 0.8/0.2 for the interaction-heavy dimensions). Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Illegal Extra Deck size (-10); Weak post-side plan (-4); Engine conflict (-4); Banlist exposure (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional), then modifiers -10, then Illegal cap to 30 (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.31 · 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

• Strong interaction suite: 9 hand traps plus Ash Blossom x2 and Droll & Lock Bird
• Real R.B. Link core with recursion (Operation Test, Funk Dock, Lambda Cannon)
• Legal copy limits respected for all Limited and Semi-Limited cards

Weaknesses

• Extra Deck over the legal size (17 vs 15), so the list is illegal as built
• Low archetype purity (8.2%) and little Sky Striker main-deck support for the Sky Striker Ace Links
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation

Critical choke points

• Starting a R.B. Link-3 board depends on about 3 specific starters (P at least one 3-copy starter = 0.31)
• Sky Striker Ace Link monsters need Sky Striker material that the main deck barely supplies

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Extra Deck size 17 exceeds the OCG limit of 15 (size_warnings); Main Deck size 44 is within the 40-60 range; All Limited and Semi-Limited cards are at or below their legal copy limits; Exact-name archetype purity is 8.2% (5 of 61 archetype copies)
• Inferred: Starter access: P(at least one 3-copy starter in 5 cards) = 0.31; Interaction density is high: 9 hand traps and about 13 negation-text cards; Going-second strength comes from hand traps; Engine conflict between R.B. and Sky Striker Ace Links
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament data)
• Data gaps: No recorded combos supplied; combo ceiling, median, and conversion 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, and brick rates are inferred No side deck, so post-side performance cannot be assessed Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
