Why it scores here
Double Resonator is a cheap Level 1 FIRE Fiend Tuner whose value is converting a face-up monster into a Tuner for the turn, plus a GY banish that turns a Fiend into a Tuner. That enables Synchro lines in the Resonator, Archfiend and Dark World homes seen in the 82 decks, and its own Tuner body is clean material. It earns no points for effect interaction or card advantage: it draws nothing, negates nothing and has no observed combo presence, so the score stays in the mid-50s. Its one-copy, garnet-free build and 24 distinct archetypes support a reliable, portable enabler rather than a boss-level threat.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | 82 decks run it, mostly once each, across 24 archetypes, but there is no combo searched/starter data to confirm how live it is in hand (observed deck count, inferred live-in-hand). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | Its text makes a monster a Tuner and enables Synchro summons, but there are zero recorded combos to show what it builds from a real start (inferred from text). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | No draw, search or card advantage; the GY banish is a cost-for-effect exchange with no recovered value (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal or hand-trap reach in the text (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 60 | As a Level 1 Tuner it is a clean generic synchro body, and its Tuner status is not an effect that a negate removes (inferred from text and rules; deck usage observed). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | It has two usable zones (field on summon, GY via banish), so one interaction does not end it, but there is no measured redundancy (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Mostly 1-copy, no garnet or lock, and a single slot cost in 82 decks (observed from decks_evidence copies distribution). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary Extender weights only (no secondary blend applied; secondary roles recorded for context). Intrinsic ≈ 55, Deck ≈ 57, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Cheap Level 1 Tuner that enables Synchro lines in several homes
- Usable from both the field (on summon) and the GY (banish), so it survives one interaction
- Clean one-copy build with no garnet or lock cost
- Portable across 24 distinct archetypes
Weaknesses
- No card advantage or search; it is a pure enabler
- No opponent interaction
- Zero recorded combos, so its real conversion is unverified
- Its effect wording is fiddly (summon effect plus GY cost, with a once-per-turn clause at the end of the text)
Best use
Level 1 Tuner enabler for Synchro summons, used as a cheap one-copy body. Decks: Resonator, Archfiend, Dark World. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 1 FIRE Fiend Tuner, ATK/DEF 0, formats TCG/OCG/MasterDuel/DuelLinks (card); On Normal/Special Summon it can make one face-up monster a Tuner this turn (card text); It can be banished from the GY to make one Fiend you control a Tuner this turn (card text); 82 of 82 sampled decks run it, 84.1% in gameplay type 7 (decks_evidence); Average 1.15 copies per deck; 74 decks run 1 copy (decks_evidence)
- Observed: Resonator, Archfiend and Dark World are the most common homes (decks_evidence); Strongest partners are Red Rising Dragon, Crimson Resonator and Red Dragon Archfiend, in 60-70% of decks (decks_evidence); No combos recorded (combos_evidence.total_combos = 0)
- Inferred: Its primary value is as a Synchro enabler and Tuner body, not as a starter (text plus role reasoning); A negate on its effect does not remove its own Tuner status (inferred from rules; no ruling supplied); Live-in-hand rate is plausible given deck counts but unmeasured
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion and starter/material shares are text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) usage_statistics lists only one archetype row (Zefra, 100% inclusion), which does not match the Resonator/Archfiend homes in decks_evidence; treated as a data anomaly and not used to move the score card text has two once-per-turn/timing clauses that are hard to read; no rulings supplied top_card_context has no ranking data
