forbidden Deck #770603 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 50 / Extra 18 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Sky Striker link beatdown: Sky Striker Ace link monsters (Shizuku, Zeke, Azalea, Zero) pressured with Sky Striker Ace monsters and Mobilize/Maneuver spells (Inferred from card text); Radiant Typhoon and Mulcharmy draw/tempo lines plus Raigeki or Super Starslayer TY-PHON - Sky Crisis as a closer (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Sky Striker Mobilize - Linkage!, Raigeki or Radiant Typhoon Vision for a searcher, then link out into a Sky Striker Ace link (Inferred; no recorded boards)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion) to interrupt the opponent's first line, then Mystical Space Typhoon or Raigeki to clear the board (Inferred)
• Recovery: Sky Striker spells and Ace monsters recur from the GY through Raye, Roze and Mecha effects; Pot of Desires and Upstart Goblin refill the hand (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; this is a structural gap (Verified)

Why it scores here

The list is structurally illegal (Extra Deck of 18 against a limit of 15, and three copies each of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Super Polymerization against limits of two), so the score is capped and labelled theoretical or structural only. The Sky Striker core (about 29 archetype-tagged copies) gives a coherent starter and link-route engine, and the seven hand traps give the deck real interaction on the going-second turn. Consistency is only moderate: the probability of at least one three-copy starter in a five-card hand is about 0.28, and the searcher text group reaches about 0.60. There are no recorded combo boards, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference, and the deck is not scored on the popularity of the archetype or on any average of card scores. The side deck is empty, so post-side adaptability earns almost nothing.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 53.6, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-4); no_side_deck (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*53.6 + 0.20*45 - 6 = 45.9; Illegal cap applied, score set to 30 (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.28 · 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

• Coherent Sky Striker link engine with multiple Ace link routes (Verified card text)
• Seven hand traps and two Raigeki-style removal spells give layered interaction (Verified card text)
• Recursion through Sky Striker spells and Ace monsters (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Extra Deck over limit and two copy-limit violations (Verified)
• No side deck, so no best-of-three plan (Verified)
• Off-archetype splash across 66 copies weakens engine coherence (Verified composition)
• No recorded combos, so consistency and conversion are unmeasured (Verified gap)

Critical choke points

• Sky Striker Mobilize - Linkage! and Sky Striker Ace monsters as the starter line (Inferred)
• Extra Deck overflow would force cuts from the link route once legalised (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Inferred: Sky Striker link beatdown as primary strategy; Hand-trap interaction on the going-second turn; Starter and searcher probabilities
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (no tournament or 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 absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null
