Resonator Deck #768546 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 38/100 (±12 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro and Ritual boss monsters (Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss, Black Luster Soldier, Magician of Dark Chaos - Black Chaos, Storm-Bane Dragon Destorbim) converted from Resonator and Light and Darkness Ritual engine lines; Fusion pressure via Alba-Lenatus and Titaniklad off the Fallen of Albaz package
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a 3-copy starter (Bone Archfiend, Power Vice Dragon, Fallen of the White Dragon, Fydraulis Harmonia) or Mulcharmy draw, then Synchro Summon from the Resonator or Ritual lines (text read, Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Evenly Matched or Dominus Impulse as hand and trap interaction, then Synchro into a boss (text read, Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover through Synkron Resonator, Vision Resonator, Mind Shuffle and Skull Archfiend searches; these are text-derived and not verified against boards (Inferred)
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan (verified from export)

Why it scores here

The deck opens reasonably often: P(at least one 3-copy starter in a 5-card hand) is about 0.25 per card, while the searcher group reaches about 0.83 and the archetype-core group about 0.91 (hypergeometric, Inferred). Interaction is dense, with six hand traps, Solemn Judgment, Foolish Burial and Dominus Impulse, and the end boards carry several 3000+ ATK bosses, which earns the D7 and D9 scores. The score is held down by a multi-engine build: Resonator, Light and Darkness Ritual, Mulcharmy, Bystial, Archfiend, Dominus, Tenyi and Despia share the Main Deck, with only 5 exact-name Resonator copies (7.2% purity), so the engines are not coherent. There are no recorded boards, so the ceiling and median are text-only inferences. The list is illegal (Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse each run 3 copies against a limit of 2), so the score is capped and labelled theoretical; popularity and usage statistics did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.85 Midrange / 0.15 Combo (disclosed; the Combo profile is used only for the secondary read). Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal copy limit (-8); Banlist exposure (-2); Engine conflict (-2). Final formula: Illegal deck, theoretical only: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*53 + 0.20*40 - 12 = 38

Probability & combo summary

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

Strengths

• Dense hand-trap and end-board interaction (six hand traps, Solemn Judgment, Foolish Burial, Droll & Lock Bird)
• Several 3000+ ATK bosses that can close games
• Multiple searchers and draw effects give reasonable access to starters

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy limit on Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse
• Engines do not cohere: exact-name Resonator purity is 7.2% across eight sub-archetypes
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No recorded boards; the ceiling and median are text-only

Critical choke points

• Each of the 3-copy starters has about a 25% chance of appearing in a 5-card opening hand
• Synchro bosses depend on a single Tuner in hand or the field
• Going second relies on the six-card hand containing a hand trap (about 52%)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse at 3 copies vs OCG limit 2; Main 55, Extra 14, Side 0 are within OCG size rules; Card stats and text for every listed card; Exact-name archetype purity 7.2%
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter and hand-trap probabilities (hypergeometric); Engine ordering and recovery plans read from card text; Interaction and board-breaking scores
• Provisional: Meta Power and D13 matchup fit (no dated meta sample or tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and match record are absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) usage statistics in this deck flags conflict with the cards list for several Extra Deck cards (e.g., Crimson Blade Dragon, Red Dragon Archfiend, Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss, Storm-Bane Dragon Destorbim are in the cards list but flagged false), so the 48% core-card presence is not trusted No Side Deck registered
