Resonator Deck #535509 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon Red Dragon Archfiend (or a 3000+ ATK Synchro boss such as Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss or Red Supernova Dragon) from a Resonator-driven Tuner and non-Tuner chain; Bystial and Centur-Ion Synchro bosses that banish or destroy interaction and push damage
• Turn 1 (going first): Resonator Call or Stand Up Centur-Ion to find a Resonator Tuner, then a Synchro into a Red Dragon or Bystial boss while Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence hold up responses
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C, Nibiru) to break the opponent's first board, then a Synchro boss from the Extra Deck
• Recovery: Synkron Resonator and Crimson Resonator recover Resonators from the GY; Bone Archfiend and Mulcharmy Fuwalos supply extra card flow
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck's core Resonator engine is easy to access: 20 core-group copies give about an 88% chance of at least one in an opening 5-card hand (Inferred), so the starter is usually live on turn 1. Its ceiling is high because the Extra Deck holds several 3000+ ATK Synchro bosses and the interaction suite (10 hand traps, 12 negation-text cards) protects the line. Consistency is held back by 17 tech cards and a 16% exact-archetype purity, which raises brick risk, and the median output has no recorded boards to support it. The score does not come from Resonator being a popular archetype or from averaging card scores; it reflects the system's engine access, interaction density and closing power. Because the list is illegal (Called by the Grave is Forbidden and Maxx C is over its Limited cap) and the deck has no Side Deck, the score is structural-only and capped at 30.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Primary Combo profile only; Midrange not blended into the weights. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10); no side deck (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*58 + 0.20*42 = 54.8, modifiers -12 gives 42.8; illegal list, so theoretical/structural-only and capped to 30

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.88 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.12 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Core Resonator starter is live in about 88% of opening 5-card hands (Inferred)
• Strong closing bosses at 3000 to 4000 ATK in the Extra Deck (Verified stats)
• Layered interaction: 10 hand traps and 12 negation-text cards (Verified text flags, Inferred coverage)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Forbidden and over-limit cards would be rejected in master-duel
• Low archetype purity (16%) and 17 tech slots raise brick risk (Inferred)
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• No recorded combos or win-rate data to confirm the median output

Critical choke points

• Resonator Tuner access: the chain depends on Resonator monsters being in hand or the GY
• Single Red Dragon Archfiend line: several bosses rely on Red Dragon text that only a few cards provide

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is 60 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side (within master-duel size rules); Called by the Grave is Forbidden with 2 copies run; Maxx C is Limited with 2 copies run against a limit of 1; Composition counts and archetype purity (16%)
• Inferred: Core-group starter access at about 88% (hypergeometric); Brick risk from 17 tech cards; Interaction coverage from text flags; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (no dated meta sample); Tournament reliability; Median output (no recorded boards)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup, brick or OTK rates Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Zero Side Deck cards: post-side performance cannot be assessed
