Sky Iris

Sky Iris was introduced as part of the Master of Pendulum Structure Deck, released by Konami in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game in late 2015. This deck was specifically designed to support the Pendulum Summoning mechanic, which had been introduced in the Arc-V era of the franchise. As a Field Spell card, Sky Iris serves a central role in the Magician Pendulum archetype by providing essential search capabilities and protection for Pendulum cards on the field, effectively acting as the engine for the deck’s strategy.

The card’s artwork reflects the vibrant, high-fantasy aesthetic characteristic of the Arc-V series, featuring an expansive, magical landscape that aligns with the visual motifs of the Odd-Eyes and Magician monsters. Designed by the internal creative team at Konami, the card was received by players as a staple inclusion for any Pendulum-based strategy. Because it was included as a common rarity card in a structured product, it became highly accessible to competitive players, cementing its status as a foundational utility piece rather than a collector's rarity.
