This is a pretty standard take on Sky Striker, so I do not believe that explaining the strategy is necessary. The differences in this list are that it focuses more on the Salamangreat matchup with d.d. crow at 2 (you can play it at 3) and shark cannon at 1 with one-sided (you can main deck it at 2 and then play 3 shared ride in the side deck for the mirror). The side deck is geared towards Thunder, but you can tailor it for other matchups as well. As Sky Striker stands, it really only has to worry about three matchups; Thunder Dragons, the mirror & Salamangreat.
However, I will provide this resource for players newly returning to the deck or just recently introduced(I find that the rhetoric discussed here is applicable to a wide variety of strategies but especially relevant with this deck.):
