Resonator Deck #772041 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 60/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro beatdown through Red Dragon Archfiend, Red Nova Dragon and Red Supernova Dragon, plus Bystial Dis Pater and The Crimson King as secondary boss threats (Inferred from card text).; Hand-trap and negation control that protects the first Synchro boss, then converts it into board pressure (Inferred).
• Turn 1 (going first): Search or summon a Resonator starter (Soul Resonator, Crimson Gaia, Vision Resonator), reach a Synchro with a Tuner and non-Tuner, then protect the boss with Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler or Infinite Impermanence (Inferred, no board data).
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 1-2 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Effect Veiler, Ghost Belle) to disrupt the opponent's first summon, then Synchro through the gap (Inferred).
• Recovery: Recurse Resonators from the GY with Synkron Resonator, Crimson Resonator and Crimson Gaia, and re-Synchro through Red Zone or Red Dragon Archfiend's Chains (Inferred).
• After siding: None. The deck runs zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Resonator starter: 16 searcher-text cards give about a 94% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand, and the Resonator core is almost always present (Inferred from hypergeometric estimates). Its strength comes from the system as a whole: multiple Tuner starters, GY recursion, and 9 hand traps plus 11 negation-text cards that protect the first Synchro boss. It converts into 3000-4000 ATK Synchro monsters with negate and destroy effects, which score on closing power and endboard interaction. Popularity did not earn points: the Resonator usage stats only confirm the list is real and accessible. Card scores were not averaged; the score is built from system dimensions. The deck is held back by the absence of any combo boards, which leaves median output unmeasured, by a mixed Archfiend/Bystial/Resonator engine, and by zero Side Deck cards, which removes any post-side adaptation.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.75 Combo + 0.25 Stun (dimension weights blended per Step 5). Structural ≈ 66.6, Going First ≈ 74, Going Second ≈ 72, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: Side deck absent (-3); Engine conflict across sub-archetypes (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional) = 0.80*66.6 + 0.20*58 - 5 = 59.9, rounded to 60

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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 searcher and starter package (16 searcher-text cards; 3-copy Soul Resonator, Vision Resonator and Crimson Gaia)
• Layered interaction: 9 hand traps and 11 negation-text cards for protecting Synchro bosses
• High-ATK Synchro finishers (Red Supernova Dragon 4000, Red Nova Dragon Burning Soul 3500, Bystial Dis Pater 3500)
• Compact 40-card main with 13 singletons, and the restricted cards are at legal copy limits

Weaknesses

• No Side Deck cards, so no post-side adaptation
• Mixed Archfiend, Bystial and Resonator engines; exact archetype purity 23.6%
• Several hand traps and Droll/Maxx-style cards are dead without an opponent action
• No recorded boards, so the combo floor and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• The first Synchro boss: once Red Dragon Archfiend or Red Nova is removed without a response, the GY recursion routes carry the rebuild
• The Tuner in hand: nearly every Synchro line needs a Tuner, and 15 Tuners are split across several starters

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Legal under OCG rules, 40 Main / 15 Extra / 0 Side; All six restricted cards are run at their legal copy limits; Card text and stats for every listed card; Archetype purity 23.6% and Extra Deck breakdown (15 Synchro, 13 distinct)
• Inferred: Starter access and brick risk from hypergeometric estimates; Interaction density from role tags and negation/removal text; Going-first and going-second plan strength; Resource economy from searcher and recursion text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13); Tournament reliability; Median and floor output (no boards)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference usage_statistics.in_this_deck is false for Extra Deck cards the deck does run (The Crimson King, Bystial Dis Pater, Scarred Dragon Archfiend, Red Dragon Archfiend, Red Supernova Dragon, Zalen, Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss, Crimson Blade Dragon). core_present_pct 60 is therefore understated; these were not used as missing-core evidence No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power stays Provisional without a dated metagame sample Side deck is empty; post-side performance is unmeasurable
