Sky Striker Deck #770328 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 59/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo
• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Sky Striker Ace Link chains (Zero, Kagari, Azalea, Zeke) that turn Mobilize searches into repeated Ace attacks and board control; Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon (Synchro, 2500 ATK) and Lswarm Exciton Knight (Xyz board wipe) as non-link closers
• Turn 1 (going first): Mobilize - Linkage or Engage (3 copies each, plus Sky Striker searchers) into a Sky Striker Ace Link line, with Ash Blossom, Droll and Maxx C held up as hand traps
• Turn 2 (going second): Open with hand traps (10 in the main: Ash Blossom, Evenly Matched, Droll, Maxx C, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle) to break the first summon, then rebuild through Ace recursion from the GY
• Recovery: Roze and Raye recurse from the GY; Mobilize draws and Pot of Sloth refill the hand
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan in this build

Why it scores here

The deck opens reliably: three copies each of both Sky Striker Mobilize spells and a Sky Striker Ace Link route give P(at least one Mobilize in a 5-card hand) of about 0.58 across the six copies, and the searcher group (9 copies) reaches a starter in about 74% of opening hands. It converts into pressure through the Link Ace monsters (Zero, Kagari, Azalea, Zeke) and recursion from the GY, which is why the resilience and resource scores sit above the offensive score. Interaction is the strongest part of the system: ten hand traps and roughly eight negation and ten removal texts give it a dense, layered answer set, which is why the endboard score is highest. Its weak points are on the system level, not the cards: only 45.5% of the main is the exact Sky Striker archetype, Albion the Branded Dragon needs Fallen of Albaz, which this list does not run, TY-PHON needs a conditional Xyz window, and there is no side deck. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype core presence is high, but that confirms the list is real and accessible rather than strong, and no card scores were averaged into this deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange, meta-neutral (D13 dropped and re-normalized over 95). Structural ≈ 64, Going First ≈ 68, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: Dead Extra Deck slot (Albion) (-2); Engine conflict / low exact purity (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; structural computed meta-neutral: 6121/95 = 64.4; 0.8*64.4 + 0.2*58 = 63.1, minus 4 = 59.1)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.58 · 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

• Dense interaction: 10 hand traps, ~8 negation and ~10 removal text hits
• Redundant starters: 6 Mobilize copies plus 9 searcher-text copies
• Link Ace recursion from the GY supports resilience after one disruption
• Legal in Master Duel: all Limited and Semi-Limited cards at or below legal copies

Weaknesses

• Only 45.5% exact-archetype purity; several splash engines (Radiant Typhoon, Greed, Mulcharmy, Branded)
• Albion the Branded Dragon is dead without Fallen of Albaz in the list
• Super Starslayer TY-PHON needs an opponent-summon window to Xyz
• No side deck: no post-side adaptation

Critical choke points

• Mobilize (6 copies) as the only shared starter route
• Ace Link summons that depend on Sky Striker Ace monsters in hand or GY

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status; main 40, extra 15, side 0 within size rules; All restricted cards within legal copy limits; Card text for every listed card (description excerpts); Extra Deck breakdown: 11 Link, 2 Xyz, 1 Synchro, 1 Fusion; Albion text names Fallen of Albaz; Fallen of Albaz is not in the resolved list; Archetype purity 45.5% and spread
• Inferred: D1 starter reliability from hypergeometric estimates; Strategy classification as Midrange with Combo secondary; Going-first and going-second power components; Interaction quality read from card text; Pilotability and error tolerance
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 matchup fit: no dated metagame sample; Post-side plan: no side deck to evaluate
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference (no parseable boards) usage_statistics in_this_deck flags are false for every Extra Deck card (Kagari, Zero, Camellia, Azalea, Zeke, Amatsu, Hayate, Shizuku, Ecclesia, Albion), though the cards array lists them; core_present_pct 56 is likely under-counted. Treat core presence as unreliable. no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates); those are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck registered, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
