Dark Resonator opens our week,
with an effect that is exactly the same as another
monster by the name of Gyroid.Neither monster can be destroyed by Battle,
at least, the first time they are attacked in a
turn.
I find that when a monster is
able to survive an attack (or more) in a turn,
especially by its own effect, that is a relatively
handy ability for a card to have.It could be useful tribute bait or to
sacrifice for something else in another turn.
You can also further protect said
monster with Traps or whatever else your Deck may be
running.I find this card a bit more useful than
Gyroid, as it's a bit more splashable being both a
Fiend and a Tuner monster, but that's just me.

This guy is ok I guess. His stats are alright, but
sub-par for a level 3 Tuner. You can negate his
destruction by battle once per turn, like Gemini
Summoner and Gyroid. This can be very useful, but I
have to say that Krebons has taken the medal in
attack negation. Even the Psychic Commander has
better stats and is able to be Emergency Teleported.
He does have a plus over Krebons with ATK and a plus
over Commander with the fact that he is DARK, so is
much better in a DARK deck. However, a DARK Synchro
deck is usually using level 1 and level 2 Tuners,
level 3 is usually used for LIGHT decks due to
Airknight Parshath and Cyber Dragon. You can use it
in a Dark World Synchro deck though. It is crazy how
often that deck can get a Synchro out, and it will
use level 3 Tuners
Overall not a bad card, just outplayed by other
Tuners.

Today’s card up for review is Dark Resonator,
from Duelist Genesis! This card is actually sorta
techish in my opinion. For those who do not know, he
can be face down for his effect to go off. You can
use this guy the turn after he gets hit to sack off
for a tribute monster, or be cool and bring out
Raviel lol. I personally think they should keep
making cards with cool effects like this, keeps the
innovation alive for local play
