Resonator Deck #773341 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon Red Dragon Archfiend family boss monsters (Tyrant, Hot Red Bane, Red Nova, Red Supernova) from a Resonator-tuner engine and attack or destroy the opponent's board; Red Rising Dragon / Crimson Blade Dragon board presence with recursion of Resonator monsters from the GY
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Resonator Call or Soul Resonator, add a Fiend tuner, Normal Summon Crimson or Synkron Resonator to enable Synchro Summons into a Level 8+ Red Dragon Archfiend monster
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit as hand traps to break the opponent's starter, then Synchro Summon from whatever engine resources survive
• Recovery: Recycle Resonator monsters from the GY via Synkron Resonator and Vision Resonator, and re-Synchro through Mirror Resonator or Chain Resonator
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists in this export

Why it scores here

This deck is scored as a system: its Resonator engine reliably finds a tuner and a Synchro starter on most opening hands (the archetype-core proxy is about 0.99 for at least one piece in a 5-card hand), and its Red Dragon Archfiend extra deck gives several large closing bosses. Interaction is credible but thin, with Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Infinite Impermanence and Red Zone covering the main disruption, and the hand-trap group is about 0.81 likely to show at least one in a 6-card going-second hand. Combo conversion and median output could not be measured, since no boards were recorded, so those scores rest on card text and are kept near the middle. The deck is Illegal because it runs three copies of Ash Blossom against a limit of two, so its score is capped low and this evaluation is structural only. The score does not come from Resonator being a popular archetype, and it does not come from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 46, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-10); illegal_cap (-9). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(50) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 49, plus banlist-exposure modifier -10 = 39, then Illegal cap applied to 30 (theoretical/structural-only); Meta Power provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · 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

• Consistent Resonator tuner access (about 0.99 archetype-core presence in 5 cards)
• Strong closing Synchro bosses at Level 8 to 12 with large ATK
• Layered hand traps and negation (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Infinite Impermanence, Red Zone)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom run at 3 copies over a limit of 2
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• Only 32.7% of cards are the exact Resonator name, so the engine is spread across related sub-archetypes
• No measured combos, so conversion and median output are unverified

Critical choke points

• Single Fiend Tuner access for Synchro summons
• Ash Blossom over the copy limit must be fixed before any legal evaluation

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 40 and Extra Deck 15 are within OCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is Semi-Limited with a legal limit of 2 and 3 copies run; Archetype core usage stats are available and this deck runs 10 of 25 core cards
• Inferred: Starter access probability of about 0.99 from the archetype-core proxy; Consistency and interaction scores from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates from text and hand-trap counts
• Provisional: Median and ceiling combo output (no combos recorded); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link or dated meta); Post-side plan (no side deck)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists, so going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown No side deck registered Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
