Sky Striker Deck #772877 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 38/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro and Link FIRE/Dragon boss beatdown (Sangenpai Transcendent Dragion, Ruddy Rose Dragon, Trident Dragion, Promethean Princess) once a Tenpai/Sangen engine has put a boss on board (Inferred); Hand-trap and spell-removal control (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Dominus Impulse, Lightning Storm, Illusion Gate, Harpie's Feather Duster) that clears the way for the boss (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Tenpai Dragon Paidra to add or Set a Sangen Spell/Trap, use Sangen Summoning or Sangen Kaimen to fetch a Tenpai/FIRE Dragon, then Synchro or Link into a 3000-ATK boss (Inferred from excerpts)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru or Artifact Lancea as hand traps against the opponent's summon, then rebuild through Tenpai searchers and draw (Inferred)
• Recovery: Tenpai Dragon Genroku and Fadra re-Special Summon from Deck or GY and Fuwalos or Purulia draw on an empty board (Inferred from excerpts)
• After siding: Not available: the deck runs zero side-deck cards, so there is no post-side plan (Verified)

Why it scores here

The deck's Tenpai Dragon and Sangen searchers give it a probable starter in roughly 56% of going-first five-card hands, which is the main source of consistency (Inferred from hypergeometric odds). Its hand-trap and removal suite (12 hand traps and 20 removal-text cards) and the 79% chance of at least one hand trap on going second give it real interaction, and its Synchro and Link finishers reach 2500 to 3200 ATK, which is the main source of closing power. No combos, win rates or tournament results are supplied, so the floor and median scores are low-confidence reads of card text rather than recorded boards. The deck is illegal in OCG because Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse each run 3 copies against a limit of 2, which caps the score at a theoretical level. Its Sky Striker label is not supported by its contents, since it runs no Sky Striker cards, so popularity and archetype share earned no points, and no individual card scores were averaged into the result.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange weights used; Toolbox secondary not blended in v1. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal copy limit (-12). Final formula: Theoretical only, Illegal list: 0.80*52 + 0.20*45 = 50.6; ILLEGAL modifier -12 gives 38 (not a normal Final score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.56 · 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

• Synchro and Link boss threats at 2700 to 3200 ATK (Verified)
• 12 hand traps and redundant spell and monster removal (Inferred)
• Tenpai and Sangen searchers give a probable starter in over half of going-first hands (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: two cards over the copy limit (Verified)
• Zero side-deck cards, so no post-side plan (Verified)
• Archetype label Sky Striker conflicts with contents: no Sky Striker cards and 3 of 25 core cards present (Verified)
• No combo, tournament or win-rate evidence (Verified gap)

Critical choke points

• Single-copy Sangen Summoning and Sangen Kaimen are the only non-Paidra searchers for the Tenpai line (Verified)
• Synchro and Link summons depend on Tenpai and Dragon material being present on field (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse at 3 copies vs OCG limit 2; Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 (legal size range); 0 Sky Striker-named copies; core present 3 of 25; Synchro and Link stats (ATK 2500 to 3200)
• Inferred: Tenpai and Sangen searcher starter odds (about 0.56); Going-second hand-trap coverage (about 0.79); Midrange primary strategy with Toolbox secondary
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated sample)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and match record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchups or brick rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null Archetype label Sky Striker conflicts with the card list
