Sky Striker Deck #773023 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 40/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• 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: Link-chain Sky Striker Ace monsters (Raye/Roze into Kagari, Zero, Hayate and similar) converting Spell-recursion starts into board and attacks; Radiant Typhoon Eldam/Swen and Varuroon line-ups that place monsters as Continuous Spells and keep the board tight
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Sky Striker Mobilize - Linkage!, Radiant Typhoon Vision or Mulcharmy Fuwalos to draw and dig; then Sky Striker Mecha - Hornet Drones or Widow Anchor to create a Link route, and hold Ash Blossom or Droll & Lock Bird for the opponent's first draw
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Infinite Impermanence and Solemn Judgment to stop the opponent's setup, then recover with Mulcharmy Purulia/Fuwalos draws and Sky Striker Ace - Raye
• Recovery: Spell-based recursion (Sky Striker Mobilize - Engage!, Lemnisgate!, Shizuku and Camellia GY effects) to rebuild Link monsters after a board wipe from Raigeki or Lightning Storm
• After siding: Not evaluable: the export carries no side deck (Side Deck size 0), so no post-side plan exists in this list

Why it scores here

The deck's 31 archetype-core copies give a near-certain starter presence in the opening hand (about 0.99 under the hypergeometric estimate, Inferred), and the 15-card Extra Deck covers many Link routes, so the engine is reliably switched on. Interaction is dense: Raigeki, Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster, Mystical Space Typhoon, two Solemn cards, Infinite Impermanence, Forbidden Droplet and Solemn Accusation give layered answers, and the going-second hand-trap group (9 cards, about 0.68 in a six-card hand) adds resilience. Offense is credible through 1500–2900 ATK Link monsters and recursion. The score is held down by brick risk from 32 Spells and 6 Traps in a 55-card Main Deck, by the lack of a side deck, by no recorded combos or tournament data to confirm the median output, and above all by the illegal copy count of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring. The illegal status caps the result, so this is a theoretical, structural-only read; popularity and usage statistics were not credited, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 61.3, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-4); legality_cap (-14). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*61.3 + 0.20*45 - 4 = 54.0 before the legality cap; Illegal (Ash Blossom 3 copies vs limit 2) so the reported score is capped at 40 and labelled 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

• Near-certain archetype-core access in the opening hand
• Dense layered interaction: negations, hand traps, and board breakers
• Strong Link finishers with Spell-based recursion for rebuilds
• Extra Deck slots are all used for Link coverage

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (3 vs limit 2)
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• Heavy non-monster main (32 Spells, 6 Traps) raises brick and dead-draw risk
• Only 38.6% exact-name archetype purity; 22 generic and 43 off-archetype copies
• Seven Limited cards at the one-copy limit

Critical choke points

• Sky Striker Ace monster on the field (most Link routes need one)
• Sky Striker Spells in the GY for Spell-count conditions
• Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring copy count, which decides legality

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 sizes are within OCG rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is over the copy limit (3 vs 2); Seven Limited and two Semi-Limited restricted cards run within their limits; Card stats and text from the resolved card list
• Observed: Usage statistics: 27 archetype stat rows; Camellia, Amatsu, Zeke and Azalea are high-inclusion but absent from this list
• Inferred: Starter access ≈ 0.99 from hypergeometric estimate; Interaction quality and brick risk from text and composition; Going-first and going-second plans from text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame); Matchup fit (no tournament data)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchup, or brick/starter rates No side deck in the export, so post-side adaptability cannot be assessed Deck title is null Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
