Legality
Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Link-based board pressure from Sky Striker Ace Link monsters (Kagari, Zero, Zeke, Azalea) backed by Sky Striker spell recursion; Fusion/Synchro end-boards (The Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon) reached through the Branded/Albaz/Ecclesia cards
- Turn 1 (going first): Draw or search with Pot of Desires, Pot of Sloth, Upstart Goblin or Radiant Typhoon Vision, then Sky Striker Mobilize / Raye to reach a Link Summon; no reliable starter is guaranteed in a 5-card hand
- Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit) and Solemn Judgment to slow the opponent, then Forbidden Crown / Raigeki / Harpie's Feather Duster to break their board
- Recovery: Sky Striker spells in the GY recur via Kagari, Shizuku and Lemnisgate; Radiant Typhoon Vision and the Pots add card flow
- After siding: Not evaluable: the export contains no side deck, so there is no post-side plan to score
Why it scores here
The deck is scored as a system and not as an average of its card scores. Its Sky Striker Link engine and recursion spells give it a plausible plan to reach Link Summons and card flow through the Pots, but only about 11 main-deck monsters sit among 55 Main Deck cards, so hands are often monster-light and the engine is hard to open reliably. Interaction (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Solemn Judgment, Forbidden Crown, Raigeki, Harpie's Feather Duster) is broad, but it is split across three archetype families with 4.3% exact-Branded purity, which lowers coherence. The list is illegal: The Fallen & The Virtuous is run three times against a limit of two, and there is no side deck. The Illegal status caps the score and makes this a theoretical, structural-only read. Popularity was not credited, and no combo evidence or tournament data exists, so every combo and matchup claim is inferred.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 52 | P(>=1 Sky Striker starter in 5-card opening hand) is about 0.25 per 3-copy card; searcher text is present on 8 cards, giving about 0.56 for at least one searcher (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 30 | Only about 11 Main Deck monsters among 55 cards, with 44 level-0 non-monsters, so monster-light hands are common (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 45 | No parseable boards, so ceiling is inferred from text: Link chains through Kagari, Zero and Zeke, with the Fusion and Synchro extenders as secondary payoff (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 40 | No recorded combos exist, so the typical output cannot be measured; the median is inferred to be lower than the ceiling because of the monster scarcity (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 50 | Two or three independent lines exist (Link route, Pot draws, GY spell recursion), but they share the same Sky Striker starters (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 58 | Draw and recursion are strong: Pot of Desires, Pot of Sloth, Upstart Goblin, Radiant Typhoon Vision and GY spell recursion (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 55 | Four hand traps plus Solemn Judgment, Typhoon, MST and Droplet give layered interaction; no protection beyond the Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre pair (Inferred) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 55 | Raigeki, Forbidden Crown, Harpie's Feather Duster and Forbidden Droplet cover the board, with Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre adding going-second disruption (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 48 | Link monsters with 1500 to 2000 ATK and the Fusion/Synchro bosses give a moderate closing threat, though attack is spread thinly across many support spells (Inferred) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 30 | 55 Main Deck cards with 38 Spells and 27 distinct cards; the Branded and Greed/Forbidden splash lowers compactness, and 3 copies of a Semi-Limited card make the list illegal (Verified) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 55 | Extra Deck is 15 of 15 with 13 Links plus a Fusion and a Synchro, giving broad Link coverage with limited flex (Verified) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 10 | No side deck is present in the export, so post-side adaptability cannot be assessed and is scored at the floor (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 40 | No tournament link, no meta-share and no dated metagame sample exist, so matchup fit is Provisional (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 45 | Multi-step Link lines with several conditional triggers and choice effects are difficult to play consistently (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 44, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 43.8, then context modifiers total -12 for Illegal status = 32
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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
- Broad interaction suite: four hand traps, Solemn Judgment, Raigeki, Forbidden Crown, Harpie's Feather Duster
- Strong card flow: Pot of Desires, Pot of Sloth, Upstart Goblin, Radiant Typhoon Vision
- Extra Deck fills all 15 slots with Link-heavy coverage, plus Fusion and Synchro bosses
Weaknesses
- Illegal as built: 3 copies of a Semi-Limited card (The Fallen & The Virtuous) against a limit of 2
- Monster-light Main Deck (about 11 monsters in 55 cards) causes frequent brick and dead-draw hands
- Split identity across Sky Striker, Forbidden, Greed and Branded, with 4.3% exact Branded purity
- No side deck, so no post-side plan
Critical choke points
- Sky Striker Ace monsters are the main Link material, so losing them to a single removal or hand trap collapses the Link route
- Summon-dependent Link lines require a monster on the field, which the monster count does not reliably supply
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | One copy of The Fallen & The Virtuous | A legal-count card or a monster | Required to make the list legal; the deck cannot be scored as played at Illegal |
| 2 | Two or three non-monster support spells (e.g. Forbidden Droplet, Triple Tactics Thrust) | Level 4 or lower Sky Striker or Branded monsters | Raises monster count so the Link and hand-trap routes open more often |
| 3 | Off-archetype Greed or Forbidden copies that do not feed the Sky Striker engine | Additional Sky Striker support | Improves engine coherence and purity |
| 4 | A side deck of 6 to 15 cards | Enables a post-side plan and a best-of-3 evaluation |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Illegal status: The Fallen & The Virtuous at 3 copies against an OCG limit of 2; Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts from the export; Archetype purity 4.3%, with 30 Sky Striker copies; Extra Deck composition: 13 Link, 1 Fusion, 1 Synchro
- Inferred: Opening-hand starter probabilities (about 0.25 for a 3-copy card in 5 cards); Monster scarcity from the level-0 count; Interaction breadth and going-second disruption from card text
- Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample or tournament link
- Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No side deck present: post-side plan and D12 cannot be scored from evidence No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; brick, starter and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
