Sky Striker Deck #772903 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 41/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Control, Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Sky Striker Ace link and Xyz boss monsters (Super Starslayer TY-PHON - Sky Crisis at 2900 ATK, Sky Striker Ace - Kagari and Ace = Zero attacking) enabled by Sky Striker spell-count conditions; Raigeki and Lightning Storm board-clearing followed by Sky Striker recovery
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Sky Striker spell (Mobilize - Linkage!, Mobilize - Engage!) to search or summon an Ace, then Link Summon Kagari/Zero/Zeke to pressure, using Mystical Space Typhoon or Lightning Storm to clear backrow or monsters
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll & Lock Bird) answer the opponent's first engine or search, then Ace link line to rebuild
• Recovery: Spells in the GY drive Sky Striker Ace - Camellia/Zeke/Azalea and Mecha effects; Foolish Burial Goods and Mobilize - Engage! refill the hand
• After siding: No side deck is registered in the export, so no post-side plan can be assessed

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Sky Striker spell-based starter: the archetype core group gives about 0.99 chance of at least one core card in a going-first hand (Inferred), so it usually has something to do on turn 1. Its interaction density is high, with hand traps, Mystical Space Typhoon, Lightning Storm, Raigeki and Harpie's Feather Duster providing layered answers that score well on end-board interaction. The link and Xyz bosses give real closing power once the spell count is met, but there are no recorded boards, so the floor and median are estimated from text only and are labelled Inferred. Popularity and archetype share were not counted as power, and card scores were not averaged. The list is over the copy limit on Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, so it is capped as a structural-only theoretical evaluation.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal copy limit (-10); No side deck (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional), then Illegal-list modifiers; theoretical structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · 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 suite: hand traps, MST, Lightning Storm, Raigeki and Harpie's Feather Duster
• Sky Striker spell engine with multiple search and summon routes
• Link and Xyz closers including TY-PHON at 2900 ATK

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count on Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring
• No side deck registered
• Conditional spell-count and no-monster requirements risk dead draws
• Heavy spell-count reliance is fragile after disruption

Critical choke points

• Sky Striker Ace link monsters need Ace materials in the Extra Deck
• Spell-count thresholds in the GY for most effects

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 and Extra 15 are within the OCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a limit of 2 (Illegal); Interaction and Link/Xyz card text are present in the export
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency estimates from the hypergeometric draw table; Engine conversion and interaction quality from card text; Going-first and going-second reads
• Provisional: Tournament reliability; Matchup and format fit (no dated meta); Side-deck adaptability (no side deck)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred no side deck registered in the export deck title is null Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
