First Effect:
Synkron Resonator special summons itself from the hand if a synchro monster is on the field. This effect monster is a tuner monster, and this effect provides an advantage. Tuner monsters are required for a synchro summon.
Therefore, this effect sets up a synchro summon. You are in a position to perform an additional synchro summon. You control Synkron Resonator and a synchro monster.
Second Effect:
Synkron Resonator recovers a Resonator for synchro summons with its second effect. Synkron Resonator can add one Resonator except Synkron Resonator from the graveyard to your hand when Synkron Resonator is sent from the field to the graveyard. The members of Resonator are tuner monsters, and they support the archetype of Red Dragon Archfiend.
Furthermore, Yu-Gi-Oh! has a variety of methods to send a monster to the graveyard. A natural strategy is using Synkron Resonator as synchro material for a synchro summon. The second effect of Synkron Resonator activates when it is sent from the field to the graveyard for a synchro summon.
Resonators have a large library of cards. You can pick the best tuner monster for your strategy. Some of the best options are the Resonators with effects to special summon themselves to the field. You will be able to extend your strategy with those particular cards.
For instance, Vision Resonator is a great target for this effect. Synkron Resonator can add Vision Resonator from the graveyard to your hand. In addition, Vision Resonator can special summon itself from your hand if a level five or greater dark monster is on the field. However, Vision Resonator can only be special summoned with this effect once per turn.
Added these Resonators from the graveyard to your hand!
- Darkness Resonator
- Vision Resonator
Synchro Material:
Synkron Resonator is a level one tuner monster. It works well in decks with Red Dragon Archfiend. This tuner monster enables synchro summons with its first effect. Synkron Resonator can set up synchro summons for level nine or higher synchro monsters.
For instance, Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss is a synchro monster, and it requires a tuner monster and one non-tuner dark dragon synchro monster as synchro materials. Synkron Resonator and Red Dragon Archfiend can be the synchro materials for this synchro monster. Their combined levels are nine. Synkron Resonator special summons itself because you control Red Dragon Archfiend. As a result, you may use Synkron Resonator and Red Dragon Archfiend as synchro material and synchro summon Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss!
In addition, Synkron Resonator can be synchro material for Red Nova Dragon. Red Nova Dragon is a synchro monster and it requires two tuner monsters and Red Dragon Archfiend as materials. Darkness Resonator is a good choice for the second tuner monster because it can special summon itself from your hand if you reveal a Red Dragon Archfiend from the extra deck. However, Darkness Resonator restricts you to only be able to special summon synchro monsters from the extra deck for the remainder of the turn. As a result, you may use Darkness Resonator, Synkron Resonator, and Red Dragon Archfiend as synchro materials, and synchro summon Red Nova Dragon.
Furthermore, Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend is a synchro monster, and it requires two tuner monsters and one or more non-tuner monsters. You can use Synkron Resonator, Chain Resonator, and Red Dragon Archfiend as the synchro materials. Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend is a level 10 synchro monster, and these synchro materials have a combined level of 10.
Use Synkron Resonator as synchro material for these synchro monsters!
- Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss
- Red Nova Dragon
- Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend

Support: Searchers
The archetypes of Resonator and Red Dragon Archfiend have many searchers. Some of these cards can add Synkron Resonator to your hand. Decks with Resonators and Red Dragon Archfiend have consistent access to this card. You can get access to this tuner monster when you need it for your strategy. Cards such as Power Vice Dragon, Resonator Call, and Soul Resonator can add Synkron Resonator from the deck to your hand.
For instance, Resonator Call is a normal spell and it adds one Resonator from the deck to the hand. You can activate Resonator Call and use its effect to add Synkron Resonator from the deck to your hand. You maintain the same number of cards because this spell is going to the graveyard, and your hand has a new monster.
In addition, Power Vice Dragon adds one Resonator from the deck to your hand when you special summon Power Vice Dragon. However, you cannot special summon from the extra deck except for dark synchro monsters for the remainder of the turn when you resolve this effect of Power Vice Dragon. As a result, the effect of Power Vice Dragon can add Synkron Resonator to your hand. You may want to add this tuner monster to your hand instead of other options when your strategy extends into additional synchro summons for the turn.
Furthermore, Soul Resonator is an effective searcher for Synkron Resonator. Soul Resonator can add a level four or lower fiend except Soul Resonator from your deck to your hand when you normal summon or special summon it to the field. Synkron Resonator is a fiend and is an option for this effect. However, you are not allowed to special summon monsters from the extra deck except dark synchro monsters for the rest of the turn due to Soul Resonator’s effect.

Support: Special Summon
A special summon of Synkron Resonator is an advantageous strategy. Many cards have effects to special summon this tuner monster. You want this card on the field for your synchro summons.
For instance, Chain Resonator can special summon Synkron Resonator from the deck. Chain Resonator can special summon a Resonator such as Synkron Resonator from the deck when you normal summon Chain Resonator while a synchro monster is on the field. You now control two tuners on the field. This strategy is an effective tactic when you want to synchro summon a synchro monster with the requirement of two tuner monsters such as Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend.
In addition, Red Rising Dragon has two effects to special summon Synkron Resonator from the graveyard. The first effect special summons a Resonator from your graveyard when you synchro summon Red Rising Dragon. However, you can only special summon dark dragon synchro monsters from the extra deck during the turn when you activate the first effect of Red Rising Dragon. The second effect allows you to banish Red Rising Dragon from the graveyard and you may special summon two level one Resonators from the graveyard. You cannot activate the second effect of Red Rising Dragon during the turn when it was sent to the graveyard. Both effects are effective methods to get access to Synkron Resonator from the graveyard.
Furthermore, Time to Stand Up is a trap with synergy with Synkron Resonator. It sets up a synchro summon of a powerful card. Time to Stand Up special summons up to two Resonators or level one dragon monsters from the deck if a dragon synchro monster is on the field. Therefore, Time to Stand Up can special summon Synkron Resonator and another Resonator from the deck. The archetype of Red Dragon Archfiend can enable this trap card because the extra deck has many dragon synchro monsters such as Red Dragon Archfiend.

Matchups: Weaknesses
Multiple cards in Yu-Gi-Oh! can counter Synkron Resonator. These cards can negate the second effect of this tuner monster. Certain hand traps such as Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion and Skull Meister counter this tuner monster.
For instance, Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion is a hand trap, and it can counter the second effect of Synkron Resonator. Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion negates effects to add cards from the graveyard to a player’s hand. As a result, Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion can negate the second effect of Synkron Resonator. This hand trap effectively prevents you from extending the play with Synkron Resonator’s effect.
In addition, Skull Meister is a hand trap, and it counters Synkron Resonator. Skull Meister can negate the effect of Synkron Resonator. Skull Meister negates an effect when it activates from the graveyard. Therefore, you will be unable to add a Resonator from the graveyard to your hand with the effect of Synkron Resonator.
Card Rating:
Overall, Synkron Resonator is an effective tuner monster for the archetype of Red Dragon Archfiend. It complements the deck’s strategy. It adds consistency to synchro summons. This tuner monster special summons itself without a cost, and adds a Resonator except Synkron Resonator from the graveyard to your hand. Therefore, I recommend playing one to two copies of Synkron Resonator in your deck.
Card Rating: 3.0 out of 5.0 stars
