Resonator Deck #773032 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 41/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro boss (Red Dragon Archfiend / Scarred Dragon Archfiend / Crimson Blade Dragon) via Resonator tuners, backed by Archfiend and Light and Darkness Ritual support; Ritual boss (Black Chaos, Black Luster Soldier) via Light and Darkness Ritual, and Bystial Lubellion/Magnamhut pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Soul Resonator, Vision Resonator or Synkron Resonator with a Tuner-based Synchro into a Red Dragon Archfiend or Crimson Blade Dragon, using Crimson Gaia and Crimson Call to refill the engine
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Solemn Judgment and Dominus Impulse to stop the opponent's first engine, then rebuild a Synchro board from the hand
• Recovery: Recur Resonators from the GY (Synkron Resonator, Vision Resonator, Red Rising Dragon) and reload with Crimson Gaia searches for the next Red Dragon Archfiend
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Resonator tuner in its opening hand (about 95 percent for the archetype core in a 5-card hand, Inferred) and has enough searchers and Synchro bosses to reach a Synchro play most games. Its interaction package (9 hand traps, 11 negation-text cards, 27 removal-text cards) gives it real answers to the first engine on the opponent's side of the board, which earns the end-board and resilience scores. Its conversion ceiling and median output are not measured, because the export contains no recorded boards, so those scores are text-only and Inferred. Popularity was not used: the archetype usage stats confirm that the core is real, but they do not add points. The score was built on the system (consistency, interaction, and Extra Deck coverage) and not from averaging card scores. The list is over the copy limit for Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse, so it is capped low and the evaluation is theoretical and structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-9); no_side_deck (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; Illegal deck, theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · 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

• Archetype core is strongly represented (24 copies, 95 percent in opening hand 5)
• Dense interaction: 9 hand traps, 11 negation-text cards, 27 removal-text cards
• Redundant Resonator tuners and recursion give several Synchro routes
• Extra Deck is full of high-ATK bosses (3000 to 3500)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: copy limit exceeded for two Semi-Limited cards
• 55-card main is high and dilutes engine density (10 percent exact-name purity)
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No combo data, so ceiling and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Single Resonator tuner in hand is a common dead-start point
• Several negation cards compete for the same Limited slots

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Dominus Impulse at 3 copies vs Semi-Limited limit 2; Restricted list: Limited cards at 1 copy each (Bystial Druiswurm, Bystial Magnamhut, Droll & Lock Bird, Foolish Burial, Harpie's Feather Duster, Solemn Judgment, The Bystial Lubellion); Composition: 55 main, 15 extra, 0 side; archetype core 24 copies
• Observed: Usage stats: Soul Resonator, Crimson Gaia, Power Vice Dragon, Ash Blossom in 56 to 84 percent of archetype decks
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probability 0.95 and searcher probability 0.87 from hypergeometric estimates; Interaction density and board-breaking reads from card text; Going-second hand-trap coverage 0.68
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• 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 and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck supplied, so D12 has no list evidence
