Even though this Pure Thunder Dragon list is from YCS Fort Worth, Thunder Dragon was completely untouched by the October 2019 banlist, and lists nearly identical to this will be top tier contenders. Jovanny is also a good friend of mine, and I wanted him to share his insights for anyone looking to pick up the deck for the new format!
Cimoooooooo Good friend of mine, he taught me alot when i was a scrub, crazy how we are all LINKED up some how in the YuGiOh community...thats why its hard for me to let go of this childhood game. P.S i always ask Johny about you Cimoooo haha tells me you were good friends with Dennis
I played against this dude 3rd round. Sadly I bricked first round and I got obliterated. 2nd round I could've won if I banished core and attacked directly w cyber dragon. Then he just ended my whole career.
It’s me! Thanks to Alex for featuring me again on his channel. In case you guys were interested in a updated version for post October Banlist, feel free to check out my other video in my channel!
Well good thing these things are considered "Thunder" monsters instead of "Dragon" monsters. Can you just imagine this with Super Rejuvenation? *DRAGON RULER PTSD INTENSIFIES*
You had 3 sarkos and 3 gem Knight Fusions. Now u got. yea Nothing 1 negate with a bad Hand, and you end up with 1 colossus and thats it. great deck kappa
If the normal thunder dragons were dragon type, I would have done this: Discard TD Add 1 TD Discard TD Add 1 TD Activate TD fusion Shuffle 2 TD from gy Special Summon TD Collossus Discard TD Add TD Discard TD Add TD Activate Super Rejuvenation for +4 If only they were dragons ):
I really just hope that Phantasmay isn't like ash where it stays at a high price for nearly two years before you can truly get it with Konami always short printing it.
When you've been playing the game long enough just as he has and I have, stuff like this (high rarity cards) is pretty normal just to have. Btw Jovany is a very good friend of mine I know personally and we both love high rarity cards.
Thats the Howmie! Havent seen him in a whike, good to see hes doing good not surprise, he knew his stuff, would always come up to him for ideas,techs,and spices. Good profile Its me David From Savys
You can also make Colossus instead of Titan under Apollousa If you search Duo instead of Fusion off of Dark. No need for OG. You'll always have a light and dark in grave too.
We are you Not summon with the token link kurioblh The roar to colusu Then you hav linkuriboh colo dark solar And the apollusa is with 4 Materials and you Recy the colo with the Fusion und have 1 more thunder in grave for grave or Follow up hawk plays
bro... activate some summer summoner, if you have an additional thunder monster in hand, special any thunder in your grave. This can give you 2 options. 1. you can have an apollousa with 4 negates and a titan. 2. contact fuse whatever you brought out into colossus along with having a 3 negate apollousa, and Titan. of course it all depends on what you open with, but i you have a thunder dragon, solar, and hawk in hand i see this as the better play because you can active thunder dragon add 2 more to hand. and then discard one that you added for some summers effect. recycle the 2 in graveyard for for titan pops next turn, or if youre going 2nd you have an immediate free 2 pops.
Your Thunder Dragons??? LOL! Half of my LGS opponents are playing thunder since soul fusion was released, and there are always thunder list in top 64, it's already way overplayed, just a bit weaker than SS or Orcust, so don't try to sell the archetype like if it was a rogue deck or something.
Stop snapping the cards when you put them down. So annoying. Also, it would have been nice to actually have all the cards named and to be able to actually see them.
No D Shifter or Lambda huh? I like everything else. Personally I would swap Phantasmay for Shifter, cut nibiru and blossom to 2 and add 2 ogres. Either way, I love the deck & am gonna ride the Thunder train until at least the next Banlist.
I just thought of something that might be a 200iq play (Going Second). You could link into Galaxy Satellite Dragon and XYZ into Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon. Then move to battle phase and activate Satellite to bump up Tachyon to 10700 ATK. Then use Tachyons effect to negate all effects on the field and swing for like 5000 damage.
Not sure i agree with the mutiple dark link 2s in there only because youre setting yourself up to be superpolyed. Its the only reason i play lambda instead of beat cop.
Dale Williams d shifter is decent, but absolutely broken at 3 for turn 0. Then if you can banish it after from the grave to empty the grave, you can keep using it. Not a bad tech if you can make it work.
Could you explain to me why shifter is so good in thunder? I've seen a lot of lists with shifter being main decked and I noticed it was missing from this list as well, but I'm not totally sure why it's so popular with other thunder players.
Danger Jackalope it slows down or even stops most graveyard based decks(orcust and salamangreat, slows striker) and makes all your discards or send to grave effects banish your monsters instead, letting you use the thunder effects! So batteryman would banish instead, giving you the thunder effects for free pretty much lol
You want your thunders effect to go off and the only way to do that is if you have a batteryman solar and a hawk. What if you didnt have a hawk? If you had a shifter, instead of batteryman sending roar to grave, it would be banished and its effect would go off. Also shifters effect last until the end of your opponents turn so it slows them down as well. Especially orcusts, strikers, salamangreats etc. The only downside here is that you pretty much lose your protection from destruction since all your thunder dragon monsters are in the banished pile.
@@xzy9729 It's not as good as salad, striker or orcust right now, so a lighter hit would make more sense. Colossus to 2 would make a lot of sense in stopping insane turn 1 boards, and maybe dragon dark to 2 as well would still let them function but just hurt their grind game and consistency (they are kinda bricky anyway already)
@@cringebutyee1326 look OCG banlist Colossus x1 roar X2 hawk x1 and it wasn t the best deck. Lot players want to kick this deck. But i dt care because if pure version die. Danger! With guardragon thunder exist too
I understand why you wanted to release a video like this, and allow your friend to showcase their Tier 1 Deck, but it's unfortunate to see content like this one your channel. Nothing against the guy at all, and I'm sure all of the competitive players understood this video perfectly... But I doubt most of the casual players were able to follow this video. He just layed out the cards, and didn't even name a lot of them. He explained his card choices a little, but not too much. If it's not too much to ask, I'd love to see a more in depth deck profile or tutorial. Maybe as your next 4 part guide series?
This guy really spent 3 minutes talking about his monster lineup.... bruh EVERYONE plays the same cards for months now wtf are you wasting everyone’s time for... I stopped watching.

Good work man, keep it up👍
PopGoes TheWeasel thanks man! Hope all is well
The purity of this deck is just astonishing.
Well good thing these things are considered "Thunder" monsters instead of "Dragon" monsters.
Can you just imagine this with Super Rejuvenation?

Lol you should start a Day count like Payne96 with his Volcanics. Day 3 of Dragon Ruler PTSD.
@@e2ipie285 dude I had to go back and actually check if they're Thunder 😱😂😂
You had 3 sarkos and 3 gem Knight Fusions. Now u got. yea Nothing 1 negate with a bad Hand, and you end up with 1 colossus and thats it. great deck kappa
If the normal thunder dragons were dragon type, I would have done this:
Discard TD
Add 1 TD

Add 1 TD
Activate TD fusion
Shuffle 2 TD from gy
Special Summon TD Collossus

Good profile

Yo David
Imagine if Thunder Dragons were actually Dragon, Super Rejuvenation would have never come back
Yeah and if my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a bike.
Love your videos have a nice day
When are we getting that guru control deck profile 😤❤️
You can also make Colossus instead of Titan under Apollousa If you search Duo instead of Fusion off of Dark. No need for OG. You'll always have a light and dark in grave too.
We are you Not summon with the token link kurioblh
The roar to colusu
Then you hav linkuriboh colo dark solar
And the apollusa is with 4 Materials and you
Recy the colo with the Fusion und have 1 more thunder in grave for grave or Follow up hawk plays
What would you play instead of Phantazmay?
Dimension Shifter or Denko
Or d d crow
Dimension Shifter in a pure TD variant.
It obliterates most decks when timed perfectly
bro... activate some summer summoner, if you have an additional thunder monster in hand, special any thunder in your grave. This can give you 2 options.
1. you can have an apollousa with 4 negates and a titan.
2. contact fuse whatever you brought out into colossus along with having a 3 negate apollousa, and Titan.
of course it all depends on what you open with, but i you have a thunder dragon, solar, and hawk in hand i see this as the better play because you can active thunder dragon add 2 more to hand. and then discard one that you added for some summers effect. recycle the 2 in graveyard for for titan pops next turn, or if youre going 2nd you have an immediate free 2 pops.
"Once per opponent's turn (Quick Effect):"
@@nazumiikuroni7081 well damn, Idk how I skimmed over that for so damn long 😂 thanks for the correction bro!
No instant fusion. How come ?
My wallet is crying right now.
Pitty Mumel luckily most thunder cards have gone way down in price thanks to the reprints.
Yess my favourite deck
I pray that everyone don't switch to my thunder dragons n start getting it ban God no !!
I hope more people change to thunder, so I can vs them with my zombies

Tbh the deck is overrated
@@lasterman94100 yeah my Thunder dragons I actually feel for my cards/deck I play unlike you new duelist that flat out see it as a simple card game
Stop snapping the cards when you put them down. So annoying. Also, it would have been nice to actually have all the cards named and to be able to actually see them.
ikr i need the name of that one he called Wolf cause uh cant build this knowing its just called wolf because uk...
And if you haven't already guessed it... It's Thunder strikers.
Best Deck Profile I ever saw. Why they always show only 3 cards at once? Pls more like this!
true, it's quick and effective
No D Shifter or Lambda huh? I like everything else. Personally I would swap Phantasmay for Shifter, cut nibiru and blossom to 2 and add 2 ogres. Either way, I love the deck & am gonna ride the Thunder train until at least the next Banlist.
went 3-1 at locals with pure thunder today too

AbsolPlayz the ink needs 2 dragons. they're thunde
I’m going to YCS Columbus
Good luck!
Good luck!
I'm getting deja vu right now.
Can you make a deck profile post master rule?
whats that card u called wolf?
Nice something i probs cant afford
Yup, at least 80 dollars not counting phantasma
Great profile. I'm a little unsure about pot of desires but I will experiment with it!
Pot of Extravagance is more of my preference.
@@sheercold5868 too poor to get a playset til the quarantine drops
Not sure i agree with the mutiple dark link 2s in there only because youre setting yourself up to be superpolyed. Its the only reason i play lambda instead of beat cop.
Please show the cards better, people trying to look at this deck cant tell what the abreviations mean sometimes
Is it possible to play withotu phantasma ? cause the price is so high :c
Yes, Dimensional shifter
Been playinh TD for 2-3 months now with Dimension Shifter and its so good in a pure variant 😁😁
“I don’t like it when I can’t play the game because of Skystriker and Orcrust, but I like it when my deck prohibits other decks from playing”
K.
thought about maining 1 makiu the magical mist..
what do you guys think???
Why not raigeki instead(you also should not be running raigeki, but ok)
yea i was like wait a min.. lool
What’s good against pure thunder dragon
super poly, nibiru, avramax, borreload
Could you replace the imperm or ash with 3 D Shifters?
Dale Williams d shifter is decent, but absolutely broken at 3 for turn 0. Then if you can banish it after from the grave to empty the grave, you can keep using it.
Not a bad tech if you can make it work.
What was the super poly fusion monster. I couldn't hear
Starving Venom Fusion Dragon.
rip colossus ;-;
Yo leave thunders alone lmao :/ damn gosh I want them to last they can be destroyed easily
No dimension shifter

wow
Idgaf about the deck list. I just want that mat lol
Uuuuuuuuuuh stop swiping at the mat
the sound makes me shaking so hard, i hate it lol
Simoooonnnnnnnn
This banlist is fair but thunder untouched 🤔 okay... I think hawk x1 was a good Idea too. Now it s a broken deck
1 hawk would kill the deck's ability to do anything turn 1 except colossus pass
