Deck Resonators #720752 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 58/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Synchro, mộ-Centric
• Format: duel-links

Legality

Main 30 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro summon high-level DARK Dragon Synchro bosses (Red Dragon Archfiend, Red Nova Dragon, Red Supernova Dragon) to control the board and apply pressure through negation, removal, and direct damage; use Crimson Dragon tutoring and Mộ recursion loops to generate card advantage and rebuild through interruption.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open với Resonator Tuner + search effect to assemble 1 level-8 or level-12 Synchro boss; establish end-board với interaction (negate + removal coverage) via Crimson Gaia recurring search and hand-trap readiness.
• Turn 2 (going second): Deploy hand traps (Ghost Belle, Skull Meister) to disrupt opponent; use Forbidden Droplet and Dark Ruler No More for board-breaker access; leverage Tuner recursion to rebuild and Synchro into offensive bosses for lethal or board control.
• Recovery: Vision Resonator and Synkron Resonator float into Mộ recursion; Red Familiar tributes Fiends to recur Red Dragon Archfiend; Crimson Gaia maintains search momentum from Mộ; extra Tuner density enables re-Synchro after disruption.
• After siding: No side deck supplied (Duel Links format 0-side); no post-side plan available.

Why it scores here

Resonators achieve 58Structural power driven by reliable Tuner-starter access (P(≥1 in opening hand) ≈ 0.94 for the 12-card searcher group) and 1 coherent Synchro engine that consistently opens into mid-tier boards với interaction and recursion. The deck reliably converts into level-8 and level-12 DARK Synchro bosses carrying negation or removal, supported by floating Tuner effects and Crimson Gaia's recurring search. However, the combo floor is constrained by missing core Extra-Deck staples (Red Dragon Archfiend, Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss, Red Nova Dragon, Red Supernova Dragon not in this list), limiting ceiling pressure and reducing going-second resilience. The core strength lies in consistency and grind, not explosive turn-1 boards; hand-trap density is modest (3/30), and the deck lacks high-density interaction or built-in board-breaker redundancy. Duel Links' side-deck restriction (0 slot) and lack of dated meta telemetry prevent competitive positioning; archetype meta-share (unavailable) did not earn points. The score reflects the system's tight opening consistency and workable recursion balanced against 1 constrained combo ceiling and missing key Extra-Deck payoffs.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ —, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 54. Modifiers: Missing core Extra-Deck staples (-4); Duel Links side-deck restriction (-2); Engine coherence bonus (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional, no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening 1 starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.08 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median 60, board-per-starter 2.2
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Reliable Tuner-starter engine với 94% opening-hand consistency for searchers (Resonator Call, Crimson Gaia, Vision Resonator).
• Dual-path Synchro access (level 6–8 boards into level-10 and level-12 bosses) and graveyard recursion loops enable recovery through single interruption.
• Crimson Gaia continuous effect sustains search momentum and provides in-hand access to Red Dragon Archfiend payoffs across turns.
• Hand-trap and tech negation/removal layer (Forbidden Droplet, Dark Ruler No More, Ghost Belle, Skull Meister) covers going-second requirements.
• Tight 30-card main deck minimizes garnet burden and maintains consistency.

Weaknesses

• Missing 5 core100-percent-inclusion Extra-Deck cards (Red Dragon Archfiend, Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss, Red Nova Dragon, Red Supernova Dragon, Centur-Ion Auxila) significantly lowers combo ceiling and reduces mid-range board density.
• Modest hand-trap density (3/30) and limited built-in board-breaker redundancy constrain going-second resilience against high-interaction decks.
• Combo floor constrained by single-path Synchro routes and reliance on Mộ for recursion; one disruption to search or Mộ access reduces output substantially.
• Red Dragon Archfiend self-destruct clause (destroys own monsters at End Phase if they didn't attack) creates tempo pressure and limits board persistence.
• No dated metagame data limits matchup positioning; archetype meta-share and relative power unknown in current Duel Links environment.

Critical choke points

• mộ denial (e.g., Ghost Belle into Mộ search, Skull Meister into effect activation from Mộ) breaks recursion loops and forces play from hand only.
• Single negation on Synchro boses (most boards feature1 omni or 1 layer of interaction) means one disruption to the negation source leaves board vulnerable.
• Searcher blockade: if Resonator Call, Crimson Gaia, and Vision Resonator are all blanked or removed, hand and Mộ search paths collapse; deck runs low redundancy.
• Extra-Deck depletion: với only 9 slots and 5 core cards missing, Synchro-spam routes are limited; over-committing resources to one Synchro sumon risks all-in loss.
• Duel Links field and hand size constraints (tight formats) amplify resource scarcity and reduce recursion/float utility vs. full-format Resonators.

• Provisional: Meta Power: null — no dated metagame sample supplied. Archetype meta-share context only.; Tournament Reliability adjusted for 0-side deck (Duel Links format) and missing core Extra cards; actual competitive strength depends on current metagame alignment (unavailable)。
• Data gaps: No combos supplied — combo floor, median, ceiling inferred from card text and archetype guides, labeled Inferred。 No tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent; Meta Power := null / Provisional。 No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates) — all such signals are Inferred or Unknown。 No dated metagame sample — matchup fit (D13) is Provisional; no basis for calculating true Meta Power or competitive positioning。 Missing 5 core 100-percent-inclusion Extra-Deck cards in this list (Red Dragon Archfiend, Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss, Red Nova Dragon, Red Supernova Dragon, Centur-Ion Auxila) — unclear if intentional tech choice, Duel Links Extra-Deck slot constraint, or deck-building error; this reduces realized combo output and going-second resilience vs. archetype ceiling。
