Resonator Deck #769198 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Synchro
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro-based boards (Black-Winged Assault Dragon, Bystial Magnamhut/Lubellion, Kusanagi, Chaos Angel) pressing damage after the Synchro summon; Hand-trap and Synchro-tuner interaction that stalls the opponent while the Synchro engine builds
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Blackwing or Resonator starters (Vision Resonator, Darkness Resonator, Blackwing Vata/Sudri, Mulcharmy draw engines) and Synchro into a boss; hold Ash Blossom or Droll for the opponent's first answer
• Turn 2 (going second): Respond with Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre or Droll to the opponent's board-setting effect, then Synchro through the remaining board
• Recovery: Recover Tuners from the GY or banishment through Blackwing and Bystial effects, and rebuild a Synchro with Black Whirlwind or Branded Regained draw effects
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan to evaluate

Why it scores here

The deck's Resonator label is nominal: only 2 of 70 archetype-tagged copies are named Resonator, and the list is really a Blackwing, Mulcharmy, Bystial and Resonator mix. Consistency is middling because the archetype core is present in most hands, but 8 cards are at 3 copies and the mixed engines compete for the same Tuner slots. Interaction is the strongest part of the system: 10 hand traps and about 12 negation texts give it real answers on the going-second turn. Recorded boards are absent, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inferences and are low-confidence. Popularity did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged. The list is illegal (two cards over their OCG copy limit) and has no side deck, so the final score is capped at 25.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 46, Going Second ≈ 44, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 38. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-4); engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: Illegal list: uncapped 0.80*Structural(48) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(38) + modifiers(-7) = 39, then capped at 25 for illegality. Meta provisional.

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 interaction: 10 hand traps plus negation and removal text
• Multiple Synchro bosses at 2500 to 3500 ATK
• Redundant Tuner routes from the GY and banishment

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts for Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse
• Four archetype engines compete for the same slots
• No side deck
• Low Resonator purity (2.8%)

Critical choke points

• Synchro summon: the Tuner count and the Level match must both line up
• Copy limit: three copies of Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse break OCG rules

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 57, Extra 15, Side 0 counts; Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse at 3 copies over the Semi-Limited limit of 2; Five Limited cards in the list; Archetype purity 2.8 percent (Resonator exact name)
• Inferred: Archetype core hypergeometric odds (0.86); Hand-trap coverage (0.70 going second); Interaction layering from negation and removal text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated sample); Matchup fit and format fit (no tournament data); Side deck adaptability (no side deck)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck registered
