Main 55 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro summon DARK Dragon Synchro Monsters (Red Dragon Archfiend line) and pressure through recursion + removal; Grind value through Fiend Tuner searchability and hand-trap density; board breaker role with Kaiju and removal-heavy spells
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Soul Resonator or Bone Archfiend to search Fiend Tuners, Synchro into mid-level boards (Red Rising Dragon, Crimson Blade Dragon), set up interaction with Mulcharmy or hand-traps, float resources for follow-up
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand-traps (D.D. Crow, Artifact Lancea, Skull Meister) to disrupt; leverage Illusion Gate or Kaiju to break boards; pivot into grind with removal-heavy spells and recursion
• Recovery: Recursion via Red Rising Dragon, Synkron Resonator recovery, and Fiend Tuner re-search through Soul Resonator; Crimson Call and Resonator Call bridge searches; graveyard float engines
• After siding: No side deck supplied; structural assessment T1–T2 only

Why it scores here

This Resonator/Fiend Tuner hybrid combo deck opens with ~89% chance of at least one searcher or starter, leading into mid-power Synchro boards with recursion and grind value. Soul Resonator, Bone Archfiend, and Power Vice Dragon form a functional but fragile three-card bootstrap—disruption of any piece collapses the line. The deck generates 2–3 negations/interactions per turn via Synchro bosses and hand-traps, but median board power is moderate (Lv6–8 Synchro monsters), and going-first resilience drops sharply after a single interrupt. Going-second compensates via hand-trap density (9 copies) and Kaiju/Illusion Gate board breakers. The deck runs 55 cards with 12 one-ofs, creating inconsistency; 9 hard garnets (high-level Synchro monsters, King's Resonance) reduce explosive openers. Meta fit is unknown (no tournament data), and the absence of a side deck prevents contextual post-match adaptation.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.70 Combo + 0.30 Midrange. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 63, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 54. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.80·Structural (58) + 0.20·TournamentReliability (54) = 0.80·58 + 0.20·54 = 46.4 + 10.8 = 57.2 → 58 (Meta provisional, no modifiers)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.89 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.65 · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.08 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• High opening-hand searcher reliability (~89%) ensures consistent access to Fiend Tuner engines.
• Recursion-heavy design (Red Rising Dragon, Synkron Resonator, Crimson Call, Resonator Call) enables resource recovery and grind resilience.
• Strong going-second toolkit: 9 hand-traps (D.D. Crow, Artifact Lancea, Skull Meister) + 10 removal spells (Kaiju, Illusion Gate, Twin Twisters, Cosmic Cyclone) = ~16% of deck dedicated to disruption.
• Multi-layered Extra Deck (14 Synchro, all DARK Dragon focused) provides flexible boss access and interaction density.
• Fiend Tuner search redundancy (Soul Resonator, Earthbound Prisoner Stone Sweeper, Resonator Call, Crimson Gaia) reduces single-point failure.

Weaknesses

• Fragmented main deck (55 cards, 12 one-ofs) creates inconsistency; 11 hard garnets (high-level Synchro bosses, King's Resonance) clog openers.
• Fragile three-card bootstrap: Soul Resonator (or Bone Archfiend/Power Vice Dragon) → Tuner search → Synchro. Disruption of any piece collapses the primary line.
• Median board power is moderate (Lv6–8 Synchro, 2–3 interactions); ceiling is constrained by Synchro tuning limitations and lack of multi-negate boards.
• Going-first resilience drops sharply after first interrupt; limited backup lines and no alternative win conditions (no FTK, no OTK, no control finish).
• Conflicting Normal Summons and engine constraints (many cards restrict Extra Deck summons to DARK Synchro only) reduce flexibility.
• No side deck supplied; cannot adapt post-match (penalty: D12 = 0).

Critical choke points

• Soul Resonator/Bone Archfiend search is the primary opening line; if both are disrupted or absent, the deck struggles to establish a board.
• King's Resonance (trap, 1 copy) is only active if opponent Special Summons 10+ monsters—situational and easy to avoid.
• Red Hypernova Dragon (Lv12) requires 4 Tuners + 1+ Synchro monsters; rarely achievable and resource-intensive.
• Illusion Gate (3 copies) pays half LP; risky on low-life turns and telegraphed.
• 55-card main vs 40 minimum: every non-core card dilutes consistency by ~4% per slot.

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Legal (55 main, 14 extra, 0 side; all cards Unlimited or Legal); Card text and role hints from resolved evidence.json; Archetype composition: 4.3% exact-name purity, 12 Resonator, 8 Archfiend, remainder tech/splash (Verified); Hand-trap count: 9 copies of D.D. Crow, Artifact Lancea, Skull Meister (Verified); Removal spell count: Twin Twisters, Cosmic Cyclone, Kaiju (2 Jizukiru, 1 Thunder King) = 10 copies (Verified); Extra Deck: 14 Synchro monsters, all DARK Dragon (Verified)
• Observed: Searcher group probability: 19 copies of searcher-text cards (Verified from composition), P(≥1 in hand 5) = 89.16% (Observed via hypergeometric table)
• Inferred: Opening-hand quality: 11 hard garnets (high-level Synchro bosses, King's Resonance) create ~8% full-brick risk (Inferred from card level spread and role text); Combo ceiling: Crimson Blade Dragon Lv7 (negation + setup) + Red Rising Dragon recursion ~68–72 power index (Inferred from card text and Synchro material requirements); Combo median: Red Rising Dragon Lv6 + float + Synkron recovery ~55–60 power index (Inferred from text-role hints and typical Synchro output); Interruption resilience: 3 independent starter lines (Soul Resonator, Bone Archfiend, Power Vice Dragon) but second/third lines weak if first is disrupted (Inferred from searcher redundancy and engine architecture); Going-second power: 16% hand-trap + removal spell density, ~68% hit ≥1 going-second (Inferred from hypergeometric and going-second draw 6); Pilotability: Moderate complexity (Synchro sequencing, tuner math, recursion routing); decision-heavy but not extreme (Inferred from combo step count and card effects)
• Provisional: Meta Power: Unknown; no tournament link, no archetype meta-share, no dated metagame sample (Provisional); Matchup fit: Book Of is niche/emerging in YGOVN; format presence unconfirmed (Provisional)
• Data gaps: No combo boards supplied—combo floor, median, ceiling entirely text-inferred; no empirical power index or resource signature No archetype usage statistics—cannot compare this deck to meta-standard Book Of / Resonator / Fiend Tuner builds No tournament link—no archetype meta-share, per-pilot match record, or win-rate telemetry No side deck—cannot assess post-match adaptation (D12 forced to 0) No win-rate data (going-first/second, brick rate, starter frequency, matchup outcomes)—all consistency/performance claims are Inferred Book Of archetype identity unclear in YGOVN—deck may be a custom hybrid rather than a recognized meta archetype
