Resonator Deck #771541 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 58/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon Red Dragon Archfiend family and Red Dragon-linked Synchros (Red Supernova, Red Nova, Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss, Red Dragon Archfiend) to close through a board that has been cleared or negated; Crimson Blade Dragon, The Crimson King and Bystial Dis Pater as alternate boss monsters when the Red Dragon line is stopped
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 Crimson Gaia or Resonator Call and Power Vice Dragon or Bone Archfiend to reach a Tuner, then Synchro into a Red Rising Dragon or Red Dragon-linked boss while holding a hand trap for the opponent's response
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence or Evenly Matched to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild with Soul Resonator or Crimson Gaia and Synchro through the remaining Resonator and Archfiend tuners
• Recovery: Recycle Resonators and Archfiend monsters from the GY with Synkron Resonator, Vision Resonator, Obsessive Uvualoop and Bystial Magnamhut, and redraw via Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Mulcharmy Purulia
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; any sideboarding would have to be added before a best-of-3 event

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional starter in most hands. Power Vice Dragon, Bone Archfiend, Soul Resonator and Crimson Gaia are each three copies, and the 25-card archetype core shows about 94 percent chance of at least one in a five-card hand (Inferred). Its ceiling comes from the Red Dragon Archfiend family and its Synchro bosses, which can close quickly once the board is established. Nine hand traps, Red Zone, Dark Ruler No More and Twin Twisters give it real interaction density, which is what lifts the score. The score is not driven by popularity: the archetype usage stats matter only as a sign that the list is real, and the score was built from the system rather than by averaging card scores. The main gap is the absence of any side deck and the absence of recorded boards, so the median output and the post-side plan can only be inferred from card text.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 63.3, Going First ≈ 63, Going Second ≈ 65, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: No side deck (-2); Engine conflicts across sub-archetypes (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional): 0.80*63.3 + 0.20*55 - 4 = 57.6, rounded to 58

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · 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 archetype core with about 94 percent chance of at least one core card in a five-card hand (Inferred)
• Nine hand traps plus three floodgate-style or negation effects give layered interaction (Inferred)
• Multiple high-ATK Synchro closers with recursion for resource recovery (verified stats, Inferred)

Weaknesses

• No side deck registered, so no post-side plan (verified)
• Engine spread across several sub-archetypes lowers coherence (verified composition)
• No recorded boards, so the median output and ceiling are text-only inferences (Inferred)

Critical choke points

• Red Dragon Archfiend line is single-copy in the Extra Deck, so losing the single copy to a board break removes the main closer
• Several starters are one-copy Tuners (Synkron, Darkness, Vision, Obsessive), so a single Tuner removal can stall the Synchro line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal list: 60 main, 15 extra, 0 side, with Bystial Magnamhut, Foolish Burial and The Bystial Lubellion each limited to one copy; Extra Deck contents: 15 Synchro cards across 13 distinct names; Archetype purity: exact Resonator name 14 of 75 copies (18.7 percent)
• Observed: No recorded combo boards exist for this deck, so the observed set is empty; Usage stats list 13 of 25 core cards as in the deck, but 22 of 25 are present when Extra Deck cards are counted
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency for the archetype core and the starter lines; Brick and interaction density from role tags and card text; Ceiling and median output from card text only, without recorded boards
• Provisional: Meta power and format fit, because no dated metagame or tournament data exists
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta share and pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going first, going second, matchups or brick rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Usage statistics flag Extra Deck cards such as Scarred Dragon Archfiend, Red Dragon Archfiend, Crimson Blade Dragon, The Crimson King and Red Supernova Dragon as not in deck, but the cards list runs them, so the usage-stat presence field is unreliable for Extra Deck cards and the 52 percent core-present figure understates coverage No side deck is registered, so post-side adaptability is untestable
