S-Force Deck #772925 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 33/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Tempo
• 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 monsters (Kagari, Zero, Raye and Roze lines) attacking for 1500-2000 ATK, with Sky Striker Mobilize and Special Maneuver spells recycling the Spell count they need; Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon and The Dragon that Devours the Dogma (single copies, enablers largely absent from the list, so treated as weak)
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Sky Striker Mobilize - Linkage, Widow Anchor or Raye with no monsters in the Main Monster Zone to enable the conditional spell effects, then Link Summon a Sky Striker Ace; hand traps are kept for interruptions
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre as hand traps to answer the first starter, then a Link Summon line if the board is clear; going second depends on hand traps because the deck has few monsters for Link fodder
• Recovery: Sky Striker spells in the GY feed Lemnisgate, Kagari and Shizuku effects, and Pot of Desires and Pot of Sloth refill the hand; the recovery depends on having 3 or more Spells in the GY
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the list cannot adapt between games in a best-of-3 event

Why it scores here

The score comes from the system, not from the individual cards or from the S-Force label. The list reliably opens one of about 13 Sky Striker starters, which gives roughly a 0.76 chance of at least one starter in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred hypergeometric estimate). Interaction is the strongest part: Mystical Space Typhoon, Typhoon, Harpie's Feather Duster, Raigeki, Solemn Judgment, Forbidden Crown, Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre give layered answers. Conversion is weak, though. The deck runs 38 Spells against only 11 Main Deck monsters, so Link fodder is scarce and many Sky Striker Spells require having no monsters in the Main Monster Zone, which conflicts with holding monsters. The list is illegal (3 copies of a 2-copy card), has no side deck, and has no recorded combos, so the Final score is capped and marked theoretical. Popularity and usage statistics confirm the list is a real Sky Striker build, but they add no points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: illegal copy-limit violation (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 45.4, then illegal-list cap and modifiers = 33

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.76 · 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

• Layered interaction: Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Solemn Judgment, Forbidden Droplet, Forbidden Crown and Mystical Space Typhoon
• Redundant Sky Striker starters (Linkage, Raye, Widow Anchor) that make the engine accessible on turn 1
• Recursion through Spells in the GY (Lemnisgate, Kagari, Shizuku) and card draw from Pot of Desires and Pot of Sloth

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: The Fallen & The Virtuous is over the copy limit
• Monster-light Main Deck (11 monsters) against a Spell-heavy engine, which strains Link fodder and hand composition
• No side deck, so no adaptation between games
• Albaz and Ecclesia Extra Deck cards depend on enablers that are not in the list

Critical choke points

• Sky Striker Spells that require an empty Main Monster Zone conflict with holding monsters for Link Summons
• Link Summons need two monsters on the field, and the Main Deck has only 11 monsters

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 55, Extra Deck 15, Side Deck 0; The Fallen & The Virtuous run 3 against a limit of 2; Copy histogram 1:9, 2:8, 3:10; Usage statistics show Sky Striker core cards at 66% inclusion
• Inferred: Starter access about 0.76 in a 5-card opening hand; Brick and conflict risk from the Spell-heavy, monster-light Main Deck; Interaction density is high from card text; Link chains are plausible from card text but untested
• Provisional: Meta Power is null and matchup fit is not measured
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first, going-second and matchup rates are unknown Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Archetype label S-Force does not match the Sky Striker card pool in the list No side deck registered
