Resonator Deck #769956 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 50 / Extra 20 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon Red Dragon Archfiend and its Dragon Synchro family, then attack or destroy the opponent's defenders for lethal; Resonator recursion and Synchro chains into Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend, Red Nova Dragon, or Red Hypernova Dragon
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Soul Resonator, Power Vice Dragon, Bone Archfiend, or Crimson Gaia as searchers into a Tuner and a Synchro Summon of a Red Dragon Archfiend
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom and the Red Dragon Archfiend's Chains as interaction, then rebuild through Resonator searchers into a Synchro Monster
• Recovery: Vision Resonator and Synkron Resonator recover Resonators from the GY; Red Mirror and Crimson Call add Fiend-type monsters
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Resonator searcher on turn one: the archetype core group reaches at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand about 97% of the time, and the searcher-text group about 96% (hypergeometric, Inferred). Conversion into Synchro pressure is the strength, since the Extra Deck holds two Red Dragon Archfiend and several 3000 to 4500 ATK Dragon Synchros, and the Main Deck runs 7 negation-text cards and 18 removal-text cards. Survival is weaker: only 2 hand traps and no side deck, so one disruption that hits the Tuner or the Red Dragon Archfiend line has few independent recovery routes. The score comes from consistency, median output and interaction on the system, not from the archetype's popularity (no usage or meta-share evidence is attached) and not from averaging the card scores. The deck is Illegal (Extra Deck 20 against a maximum of 15), so the Final Contextual score is capped at 30; the uncapped structural read is about 58.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo 80 / Toolbox 20 (primary plus one secondary, per rubric). Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Illegal Extra Deck size (-17); No side deck (-3); Engine conflict and off-archetype load (-4); Banlist exposure (-2). Final formula: Illegal cap applied: uncapped 0.80*Structural(58) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(50) + modifiers(-9) = 47; capped to 30 because the Extra Deck exceeds the format limit. Meta Provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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

• Very high probability of a Resonator searcher in the opening hand (about 96 to 97%)
• Strong Synchro ceiling: two Red Dragon Archfiend plus Red Hypernova, Red Supernova and Tyrant
• Dense removal and negation text (18 removal, 7 negation) gives board control

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Extra Deck of 20 exceeds the OCG maximum of 15
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Low exact-name purity (24.3%) with many off-archetype Synchro routes

Critical choke points

• Tuner availability for the Red Dragon Archfiend Synchro line; there are few non-Resonator Tuners
• Two Ash Blossom are the only hand traps, so one unanswered interruption can end the turn

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Extra Deck 20 exceeds the OCG maximum of 15; Main 50 is within 40 to 60; Banlist: Bystial Magnamhut and The Bystial Lubellion Limited at 1 copy; Ash Blossom Semi-Limited at 2 copies; Card text and stats for all cards come from the evidence excerpts; Exact-name purity 24.3%; Extra Deck 20 cards (18 distinct)
• Observed: No recorded combo boards exist (0 parseable)
• Inferred: Starter hypergeometric probabilities (about 0.96 to 0.97 for the searcher group); Consistency, brick and interaction estimates in D1, D2, D5, D7 and D8; Combo ceiling and median from card text only
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit D13 (no tournament or dated meta sample)
• Data gaps: Deck is Illegal: Extra Deck 20 against the OCG maximum of 15, so the Final score is a capped theoretical read No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No side deck: post-side scores are not measurable No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent usage_statistics missing_core list conflicts with the cards list (for example The Crimson King and Red Dragon Archfiend are listed as absent but present with copies), so the cards list was used deck.title is null
