Resonator Deck #771954 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 40/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 41 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Red Dragon Archfiend, Red Supernova Dragon and Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss attacking through a board cleared by Red Zone, Crimson Gaia and the Resonator chain; Bystial Dis Pater / The Crimson King disruption-plus-beatdown from the Extra Deck
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Resonator tuner or Soul Resonator (3 copies, about 0.33 per hand of 5), search with Resonator Call or Crimson Gaia, and Synchro into Red Dragon Archfiend or a Red Dragon engine monster; keep Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence up for the opponent's first interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand's hand traps (Ash, Infinite Impermanence, Dominus Impulse, Power Vice Dragon, Mulcharmy Fuwalos) to interrupt the opponent's Special Summons and then convert through Crimson Call, Synkron Resonator and Vision Resonator
• Recovery: Ash Blossom, Soul Resonator and Crimson Gaia recover the Deck via search; Synkron Resonator and Vision Resonator recur Resonator monsters from the GY; Red Rising Dragon can revive a Resonator from the GY
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated; the list cannot adapt between games

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal: it runs 3 copies each of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Dominus Impulse where the OCG Semi-Limited cap is 2, so it gets a structural-only evaluation capped at 40 and no normal final score. Structurally the list reliably opens its Resonator engine (3 Soul Resonator, 3 Bone Archfiend, 3 Resonator Call, 3 Crimson Gaia; the archetype core group has a proxy probability near 0.999 of at least one in a 5-card hand) and it has six hand traps plus Infinite Impermanence for interaction, so its interaction and going-second plan are real. Its closing power comes from 3000-4500 ATK Red Dragon Archfiend-family Synchros. Scoring is on the system, not an average of card scores, and it is not driven by the archetype being popular: there is no tournament, win-rate or side-deck data, so meta is provisional and the side deck is empty. Combo ceiling and median are unmeasured because no recorded boards exist, so those scores are text-only inference.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violations (-12). Final formula: Structural 57.6 (Midrange weights) -> Final = 0.80*58 + 0.20*50 = 56.4; minus 12 illegal-copy-limit modifier = 44.4; capped at 40 because the list is Illegal (structural-only evaluation). Meta provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · 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

• Archetype-core density (29 copies) gives near-certain starter access in a 5-card hand
• Six hand traps plus Infinite Impermanence give strong going-second interaction
• Red Dragon Archfiend family and Red Supernova Dragon provide high-ATK closers
• Recursion through Synkron Resonator, Vision Resonator and Red Rising Dragon

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: two cards over the OCG copy limit
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Hybrid archetype purity is low (21%), spreading the engine across several sub-archetypes
• No recorded boards, so the combo floor and median are unknown

Critical choke points

• Single Synchro-dependent line: most payoffs require a Tuner plus non-Tuner Synchro, so loss of Tuners or summon space stops the turn
• Heavy reliance on the Extra Deck: 15 Extra cards, with the Red Dragon and Resonator Synchros as the main engine

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse each run 3 copies against OCG limit 2; Main 41 / Extra 15 / Side 0 falls within the OCG size rules; Exact archetype purity 21.4% and 15 Extra Deck Synchros (composition); Core usage stats: archetype core cards present 15 of 25 tracked
• Inferred: Starter-access and brick estimates from hypergeometric proxies; Interaction quality read from card text (negation and removal hints); Closing power inferred from ATK and text of Red Dragon Archfiend family; Going-first and going-second strength from hand-trap count and starter density
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample, no tournament link; Tournament reliability: no win-rate or pilot telemetry
• 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, matchup, brick/starter rates) Side deck empty: post-side plan cannot be assessed Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
