Resonator Deck #769115 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 58/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon Red Dragon Archfiend (Red Dragon Archfiend, Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend, Red Supernova Dragon, Red Hypernova Dragon) off Resonator Tuners and searched non-Tuners, then attack through a Defense-or-empty board.; Crimson Blade Dragon, The Crimson King and Bystial Dis Pater as alternate Synchro bosses that also carry negation or recursion text.
• Turn 1 (going first): T1 Resonator Call or Crimson Gaia to search a Resonator or Red Dragon Archfiend enabler, then Soul Resonator or Synkron Resonator into a Synchro Summon the same turn while keeping Red Zone and Crimson Call as follow-ups.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Skull Meister, Debunk and Ascator-line hand interaction against the opponent's first Summon or activation, then Synchro Summon a Red Dragon Archfiend from the hand-trap-disrupted board.
• Recovery: Recycle Resonators from the GY through Synkron Resonator, Vision Resonator and Crimson Call, and rebuild the Synchro board from Mulcharmy Fuwalos draws.
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; any adjustment after a loss is a rebuild of the main deck.

Why it scores here

The deck opens reliably: the 15 searcher-text cards give about 0.81 odds of at least one searcher in a 5-card opener, and the Resonator core (22 copies) gives about 0.93 odds of an archetype card in hand, so the engine comes online often. Conversion is strong on paper because the Extra Deck holds several 3000+ ATK Synchro bosses that recur from the GY, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling is text-inferred. Survival rests on 3 hand traps, 10 negation-text cards and 24 removal-text cards, though the list is 55 main cards with only 17 percent exact Resonator naming and no sideboard, which caps the score. Popularity and the archetype usage statistics confirm the list is real and accessible, but they earned no points by themselves, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 61.7, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: No side deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.93 · 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

• Searcher density (15 cards) gives a high chance of finding an engine piece on T1.
• Extra Deck has several 3000+ ATK Synchro bosses with recursion or negation text.
• Three hand traps plus negation and removal text give a broad interaction suite.

Weaknesses

• Exact archetype purity is only 17.1 percent; many generic and off-archetype cards dilute the engine.
• No sideboard, so the deck cannot adapt between games.
• Harpie's Feather Duster is Limited at one copy, a single-card dependency for its interaction.

Critical choke points

• Resonator Tuner availability: most lines need a Tuner plus a searched non-Tuner, so losing Soul Resonator or Synkron Resonator to hand-trap or board removal slows every route.
• Red Dragon Archfiend is the main boss route and is only 2 copies in the Extra Deck, so losing both to Ash-style disruption ends the primary win condition.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal OCG status, main 55, extra 15, side 0; Printed ATK and DEF of Red Supernova Dragon, Red Hypernova Dragon and Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend; Usage statistics: core present 12 of 25 cards
• Observed: No recorded boards, so no measured combo frequency is available
• Inferred: Engine accessibility (0.81 searcher, 0.93 archetype core); Interaction density from card text (24 removal, 10 negation); Going-second hand-trap odds about 0.30
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit (no dated sample, no tournament link); Side deck adaptability (no side cards)
• 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 are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rate Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck is registered No guides attached to this archetype
