Resonator Deck #771676 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 43 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon Red Dragon Archfiend family boards (Red Dragon Archfiend, Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend, Red Supernova Dragon) from Resonator and Archfiend starters; Red Rising Dragon and Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Bane recursion of Resonator monsters from the GY
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Resonator or Archfiend starters (Soul Resonator, Bone Archfiend, Crimson Gaia, Resonator Call) to reach a Tuner plus non-Tuner Synchro Summon, while holding Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence for protection
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Droll and Lock Bird) to disrupt the opponent's starter, then rebuild a Red Dragon Archfiend board through Crimson Gaia searches
• Recovery: Resonator monsters recurse from the GY via Synkron Resonator, Vision Resonator and Red Rising Dragon, and Crimson Gaia and Power Vice Dragon re-search the Synchro enablers
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the list cannot adapt between games

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: the Resonator core (27 copies, about 99.6 percent chance of at least one in a 5-card opening) gives reliable early access to Tuners and Synchro enablers, and Crimson Gaia plus Power Vice Dragon re-search the Red Dragon Archfiend route. Its ceiling comes from the Extra Deck's 3000 to 4000 ATK Synchro boards, and it has seven hand traps plus eight negation-text cards for interruption. No recorded boards exist, so combo floor and median are text-only inferences and stay low. Popularity (Resonator at 86 percent core inclusion) confirmed the list is real but did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged. The list is Illegal because it runs three copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a limit of two, so the structural estimate is capped at 30 and labelled theoretical.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit cap (0); Banlist exposure (0). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(51) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 48.8, capped at 30 for the copy-limit violation; theoretical/structural-only; Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

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

Strengths

• Resonator core and searchers give high early access to Synchro enablers
• Extra Deck of 15 Synchro monsters reaches 3000 to 4000 ATK boards
• Seven hand traps and eight negation-text cards give layered interaction

Weaknesses

• Ash Blossom copy count exceeds the OCG Semi-Limited limit, making the list Illegal
• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptation
• Heavy reliance on Level 0 and conditional starters raises brick and misfire risk

Critical choke points

• Red Dragon Archfiend or Tyrant Synchro route depends on a Tuner plus non-Tuner board surviving the opponent's first interaction
• Ash Blossom at 3 copies is the illegal line and must be reduced to 2

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 43 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies against a limit of 2 (Illegal); Droll and Lock Bird at 1 copy is within its Limited limit; Extra Deck: 15 Synchro monsters including Red Dragon Archfiend (3000 ATK), Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend (3500 ATK) and Red Supernova Dragon (4000 ATK); Core usage: Resonator core at 86 percent inclusion; 13 of 25 core cards present
• Inferred: Opening access to Resonator starters is about 99.6 percent from the core group; Interaction density is layered through hand traps and negation text; Recursion and re-search give alternate lines after disruption
• Provisional: Meta power is null: no dated metagame sample; Matchup and format fit are unverified: no tournament data
• 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 absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown No side deck registered, so post-side plan cannot be evaluated Deck title is null
