Resonator Deck #772712 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon of Red Dragon Archfiend, Red Supernova Dragon, Chaos Angel or Bystial Dis Pater off a Resonator Tuner plus non-Tuner material, converting the board through Red Dragon Archfiend's attack-trigger destruction and large Extra Deck beaters; Light and Darkness Ritual line (Black Chaos, Magician of Dark Chaos, Black Luster Soldier) and Bystial Lubellion / Magnamhut searches as a second route
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Power Vice Dragon, Soul Resonator, Vision Resonator or Ghost Ogre to reach a Synchro, use Crimson Gaia or Mind Shuffle to search the Red Dragon Archfiend package, then Synchro into a boss while holding Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse for protection
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Droll & Lock Bird and Solemn cards to disrupt the opponent's first summon, then rebuild a Synchro board from Soul Resonator and Darkness Resonator searches
• Recovery: Recover through Soul Resonator and Crimson Call search, Vision Resonator GY search of Red Dragon Archfiend spells, Ragged Records of Rites and Mulcharmy draw-on-summon effects
• 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 connected Resonator and Red Dragon Archfiend Synchro system, not as an average of its card scores. Its 22-card searcher group gives about 0.89 odds of at least one searcher in an opening five, and 14 Tuners plus 15 single-copy Synchro Extra Deck monsters give several routes into a board. Its interaction density (7 hand traps, 11 negation-text cards, Ash Blossom, Solemn cards and Dominus Impulse) lets it continue through an opponent's first interaction. Its closing power comes from Red Supernova Dragon, Chaos Angel and Bystial Dis Pater, but the recorded combo sample is empty, so the floor and median are inferred from card text only. Popularity does not earn points here: the Resonator archetype usage stats confirm the list is real but do not raise the score. The list is illegal (Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse at 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2), so the final score is capped and the evaluation is theoretical and structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: copy-limit and banlist exposure (-6); no side deck (-3). Final formula: Theoretical: 0.80*58 + 0.20*48 = 56, then modifiers -9 gives 47; Illegal legality cap sets the final score to 30 (structural-only, Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.89 · 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

• Very high searcher density (21 searcher-text cards) gives reliable access to the engine
• Layered interaction: 7 hand traps, Solemn cards, Dominus Impulse, Ash Blossom and Harpie's Feather Duster
• High-ATK Synchro closers (Red Supernova Dragon 4000, Chaos Angel and Bystial Dis Pater 3500)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse at 3 copies against a limit of 2
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No recorded combos, so floor and median are unknown

Critical choke points

• Tuner plus non-Tuner material on the Synchro line; loss of Tuners to hand traps or negation stops the Extra Deck plan
• Single-copy Limited Extra Deck boss and Bystial cards; loss of one removes a route

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status from two over-limit cards (Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse at 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2); Main 60, Extra 15, Side 0; within OCG size rules; Limited cards each run at 1 copy; Solemn Warning runs 2 copies (legal); Card text and stats for all 45 distinct cards in the evidence pack; Archetype usage stats: Resonator core inclusion shown in usage statistics
• Inferred: Searcher and archetype-core consistency odds from hypergeometric estimates; Brick rate and dead-card risk; Interaction quality from text; Going-first and going-second strength estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry, so going-first, going-second and matchup rates are Unknown No Side Deck, so D12 and the post-side plan cannot be evaluated from data Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
