Resonator Deck #771793 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon Red Dragon Archfiend / Scarred Dragon / Crimson Blade Dragon and attack through a board that the hand traps have already cleared; Bystial Dis Pater and Bystial Magnamhut recursion plus Darkness Resonator / Vision Resonator searches for repeated Archfiend pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 Normal Summon Bone Archfiend or Soul Resonator, search a Resonator or Archfiend card, then build a Synchro from the Tuner plus the Resonator-side material; hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle or Effect Veiler for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 2 to 3 hand traps (Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler, Nibiru) to answer the opponent's opening; convert the surviving Synchro board into a Red Dragon Archfiend attack
• Recovery: Recycle Synkron Resonator and Vision Resonator from the GY, use Red Rising Dragon to revive a Resonator from the GY, and rebuild with Crimson Gaia or Resonator Call searches
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck cards, so the post-side plan is absent

Why it scores here

The deck's score comes from how the system behaves, not from averaging card scores. Three-copy starters (Bone Archfiend, Soul Resonator, Ghost Belle) and the 23-card Archetype core give a high chance that a starter is live: P(at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.99 (Inferred). Eighteen hand traps and 12 negation texts provide strong going-second interaction, and nearly every 6-card going-second hand contains one (P about 0.98, Inferred). Closing power comes from Synchro 3000 to 3500 ATK bodies and Red Dragon Archfiend's board-clearing attack. The score is capped because the list breaks the Ash Blossom copy limit (3 run, 2 legal), so it is evaluated as theoretical and structural only. Popularity and archetype usage stats were not counted as power. No combo boards, win rates, or metagame sample exist, so Meta Power is provisional and the median and ceiling are text-only inferences.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 65.2, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 70, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (Semi-Limited copy-limit breach) (-6); Empty Side Deck (-4). Final formula: Pre-cap: 0.80*Structural(65.2) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(55) = 63.1; context modifiers total -10 gives 53.1; Illegal cap applied (Ash Blossom over copy limit, theoretical/structural only) gives 35. Meta provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.01 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Engine has many redundant starters and about 99% chance of a live core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred)
• Strong going-second interaction: 18 hand traps and 12 negation texts (Inferred from text and flags)
• Synchro closers at 3000 to 3500 ATK plus Defense-Position board breaking (Verified stats)
• Recursion from GY through Synkron Resonator and Vision Resonator sustains multi-turn play (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Copy-limit violation on Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring makes the list illegal in OCG (Verified)
• No Side Deck, so there is no best-of-3 adaptation (Verified)
• Low exact-name archetype purity (18.2%); many off-archetype hand traps and tech cards (Verified)
• Hand traps can be dead on going-first or in hands with no Synchro path (Inferred)

Critical choke points

• Red Dragon Archfiend and the Synchro Summon route require a Tuner from hand or field; an early hand-trap exchange removes Tuners and slows the line (Inferred)
• Ash Blossom and Ghost Belle compete for the same hand and Tuner slots as Bone Archfiend (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring copy limit breach (3 run, legal 2); Main 40 and Extra 15 meet OCG size rules; Side is 0 (allowed minimum); Banlist statuses for Ash Blossom, Bystial Druiswurm and Bystial Magnamhut; Card text and stats for every listed card
• Inferred: P(>=1 archetype-core card in 5-card hand) about 0.99; Going-second hand-trap coverage about 0.98; Text-based hand-trap, negation and removal roles; Engine redundancy and recursion read from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13); Going-first and going-second splits are estimates, not measured win rates
• 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 (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Side Deck is empty, so post-side scoring is incomplete
