Sky Striker Mobilize - Engage! (x2 (due to limit 2))
searcher auto x3 if possible, but this card searches for monsters/spells/traps Sky Striker, sounds like a gazell until if you have 3 or more Magic cards in your grave then you can draw 1, yep it sucks different from pot of greed but search 1 draw 1.

I put x0-3 instead of x1-3 like usual because I don't play roze :)
Sky Striker Mecha - Hornet Drones (x1)
Sky Striker Mecha - Hornet Drones
If you control no monsters in your Main Monster Zone: Special Summon 1 "Sky Striker Ace Token" (Warrior/DARK/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) in Defense Position, which cannot be Tributed, and if you have 3 or more Spells in your GY when this effect resolves, the Token's ATK/DEF become 1500 instead.
When I first started playing, I thought this card only creates tokens and has no limit
Sky Striker Mecha Modules - Multirole (x1)
Sky Striker Mecha Modules - Multirole
Once per turn: You can target 1 other card you control; send that card to the GY, also your opponent cannot activate cards or effects in response to your Spell Card activations for the rest of this turn (even if this card leaves the field).

Once per turn, during the End Phase: You can Set "Sky Striker" Spells with different names from your GY, up to the number of "Sky Striker" Spell Cards you activated this turn while this card was face-up on your field, but banish them when they leave the field.
In the past, when I first started playing, I heard my friends say this card was worth x3, but now I realize how retarded I am
Sky Striker Airspace - Area Zero (x0-1)
Sky Striker Airspace - Area Zero
You can target 1 other card you control; excavate the top 3 cards of your Deck, and if you do, you can add 1 excavated "Sky Striker" card to your hand, also shuffle the rest into the Deck, then, if you excavated a "Sky Striker" card, send the targeted card to the GY. If this card in the Field Zone is sent to the GY by a card effect: You can Special Summon 1 "Sky Striker Ace" monster from your Deck.

Sky Striker Mecha - Shark Cannon (x1-2)
called by the grave but searchable (because its name has sky striker), you banish the opp monster and if you have 3 or more spells in the grave then you jump that monster onto the field and let it fight even if that monster doesn't attack, but You can use its effect :), after you get tired of using it, link it or use it as bait for another card, or keep it on the field (yes, if it's an Eldlich, banish it for relief)
Sky Striker Maneuver - Afterburners! and Sky Striker Maneuver - Jamming Waves! (x0-2)
These two cards are a bit opposite, but their second effect is to shoot without targeting
Sky Striker Mecha - Eagle Booster (x0-1)
is a card that makes ANY MONSTER on the field immune to effects, so you can use it to protect the OTK accesscode if opp toggle on or cause scrapers to break combos when used on themselves (because they are not destroyed by are immune to their effects), if you have 3 or more spells, you cannot be destroyed by combat, usually depending on the situation and supplementing effect 1 but it cannot be denied that it is strong, this card Play x0 because some people don't like it, the rest play x1 because you can search it and hold it in your hand but it bricks

Effect Veiler (x3)
Because halqifibrax banned this card from x1-3 to x3, this card is both a negate effect handtrap and a card to increase selene and OTK.

This card retrieves the Sky Striker spell from the grave, just because it is limited to 1 :), is an easy card to pick up and retrieve with Hercules Base or Pot of Avarice, but because of the ability to retrieve items in a control deck So this one is extremely strong and has the highest ATK because ATK increases by 100 for each Spell in the grave, and is related to mercenaries :)
