Resonator Deck #774946 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 60/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Control
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro pressure from Red Dragon Archfiend and the high-ATK Extra Deck Synchros (Red Hypernova Dragon, Red Nova Dragon - Burning Soul, Bystial Dis Pater, Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss); Red Dragon Archfiend's Defense-Position sweep and Lightning Storm board-clearing
• Turn 1 (going first): Resonator Call or Crimson Gaia to fetch a Tuner, Soul Resonator or Vision Resonator to bridge into a Synchro, backed by hand traps for the opponent's first response
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom, Nibiru or Droll and Lock Bird to answer the first summon or search, then rebuild through the Mulcharmy draw engines into a Synchro
• Recovery: Mulcharmy draw effects, Crimson Call and Synkron/Crimson Resonator GY recursion, and Crimson Gaia's Deck search for Red Dragon Archfiend
• After siding: None: the deck runs zero Side Deck cards, so there is no defined post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional plan: 18 searchers give about an 87% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand, and Resonator Call, Soul Resonator, Vision Resonator and Crimson Gaia together provide several independent Tuner routes into a Synchro. Its conversion ceiling comes from the Extra Deck, where Red Dragon Archfiend, Red Hypernova Dragon (4500 ATK) and Red Nova Dragon - Burning Soul (3500 ATK) give the deck closing power. Survival is supported by about 10 hand traps and layered negation and removal text (Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom, Nibiru, Lightning Storm, Solemn Judgment), with Mulcharmy draw engines helping recovery. The score comes from consistency, median output and interaction across the whole system, not from Resonator's popularity or from averaging card scores. It is held back by the absence of a Side Deck, low archetype purity across several sub-archetypes, a 55-card main and the lack of recorded boards.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange, D13 excluded and weights renormalized over 95. Structural ≈ 64, Going First ≈ 65, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-2); banlist exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; D13 excluded from Structural and renormalized) = 0.80*64.4 + 0.20*58 - 3 ≈ 60

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.87 · 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

• 18 searchers give about an 87% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand
• Layered interaction: about 10 hand traps, Lightning Storm ×3 and Solemn Judgment, with negation text on 10 cards
• Extra Deck ceiling of 3000–4500 ATK Synchros with a second copy of Red Dragon Archfiend and Red Rising Dragon
• Mulcharmy draw engines provide card advantage against Summons

Weaknesses

• No Side Deck: zero side slots, so there is no post-side adjustment
• Low archetype purity (20%) spread across Archfiend, Mulcharmy, Bystial and Cyclone
• 55-card main deck with 16 singletons and 21 non-monsters reduces consistency
• No recorded boards, so floor and median output cannot be verified

Critical choke points

• Red Dragon Archfiend access depends on Crimson Gaia and Resonator Call; losing both to disruption leaves the main Synchro route narrow
• Lightning Storm's empty-field condition makes it weak going second
• Tuner density of 14 in the main deck depends on Soul Resonator and Vision Resonator being reachable

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 within OCG size rules; All nine restricted cards at or below legal copies; Card stats and text read from the card list; Extra Deck composition: 13 Synchro and 2 Synchro Tuner, 15 total
• Inferred: Starter and hand-trap probabilities from the hypergeometric draw table; Structural dimension scores D1–D11 and D14; Going-first and going-second splits; Engine-conflict modifier from archetype spread
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); D13 matchup and format fit (held at 50 and excluded)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference usage_statistics in_this_deck flags contradict the card list for eight Extra Deck cards (Red Dragon Archfiend, Crimson Blade Dragon, Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss, Bystial Dis Pater, Scarred Dragon Archfiend, The Crimson King, Zalen, Storm-Bane Dragon Destorbim) that are present in cards; the card list was treated as authoritative, which would raise the core-present count from 16 of 25 to 24 of 25 (only Red Supernova Dragon missing) No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchup or brick rate Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Title is null in the deck export
