Imagine taking a random, lv5 deck thinner that had a fusion. Then making an entire archetype around it that is so strong it redefines the game

[@Sta_cotto]

Wouldn't it be great if they reprinted Twin-headed Thunder Dragon with alt art that actually looked like a fusion of two TDs.

Don't know who looked at the original Thunder Dragon cards and said "make it into an archetype", but I'll give them this, seeing an oldie like those come back like this is a real treat. *Now* *where's* *my* *Machine* *King* *legacy* *support,* *Konami?*

[@infinimineyt9700]

Oh yeah I always liked Machine King!

[@uchihaitachi181]

Machine king, gate guardian, pumpking the king of ghosts. So many cards could use legacy support. My opinion is especially Gate Guardian since it was the earliest point you could suggest an archetype was a thing.

[@k.f.kobold7910]

@@uchihaitachi181 I would be all for the Gate Guardian getting an archetype around itself. It deserves it as being one of the more memorable monsters from Duelist Kingdom.

[@enlongjones2394]

@@k.f.kobold7910hey guess what! They did indeed finally come around to making gate guardian an archetype. You don’t tend to use the OG guy in it, but they made a retrain of him as a fusion monster with actual effects, so it’s fine

[@velvetblue2285]

Thunder Dragons is a beautiful archetype I wish Konami actually created more support for it (actual starters, more fusions, legit spells) as it would make sense since they did it for other archetypes. But hopefully they also take other cards and make legit archetypes for them for players to just explore or enjoy a favorite card. FREE MY MANS COLOSSUS!!! DAT BOY GOOD!! (dpYGO reference) lol 😂

[@patdav56]

I so love that this archetype is so closely tied to Noajenk because of Progression Polls. That intro was awesome!

Now to keep building prototypes of decks for Noa to win in Ppolls! Get ready Nova!

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

And I was incredibly happy to see someone cared enough about a series we made that they wanted to express it in art! It meant the world to me, and I'm glad to see I can find a way to pay it back! Now you get back in the deck building tank with Noajenk, cause ya'll're gonna need it!

Colossus is available in the OCG so I can play one in Master Duel. I appreciate this video and I'm going to make a thunder dragon deck now, especially considering, when I was a kid, a Twin-Head Thunder Dragon was my first rare I ever opened in a pack.

[@unknowed5048]

Thunder Dragons in the current meta is played by mixing in Chaos cards. The cost of summoning them by banishing becomes beneficial as you will be able to activate Thunder Dragon Monsters effects. Because Chaos cards have several level 8s along with Thunder Dragon cards like with colossus and Dragonduo, you can make generic Rank 8 plays like number 38 for spell negation or dingritsu for removal and protection. As for how I play Thunder Dragons, I lean them more towards spam link summoning like Avermax with IP effect while still holding chaos engine, allowing me to have control over the game. The main weakness to this is nibiru since I would be mixing link summoning with Fusion Summoning (under verte effect) and with colossus and maybe a Rank 8.

[@unknowed5048]

Danger cards are also a good mix to Thunder Dragons as you get to discard your thunder monsters (which is even more fun for you if dimensional Fissure is on the field) from your hand to summon them. Also, Bigfoot and Thunderbird are Level 8 monsters which again allows you to do Rank 8 plays.

[@Netherwolf6100]

Without a banlist, probably one of my favorite decks to play with.

[@jamesredmond7001]

I remember when these came out... Splashed them into a Batteryman deck - colossus could be made easily using a spare nine-volt or microcell, and let me stall until I got the pieces for a Batteryman otk, and having duo, hawk and dark let me reach lethal more easily than with just Batterymans.

[@psychotictye-dyetrex1895]

Thunder Dragon Collosus is my favorite card in the game. I love it. I wish it was limited in tcg.

[@destructor3152]

Thunder dragon was my first Yu-Gi-Oh card. I saw it at a card shop at a mall . I thought it was cool so I used my allowance to buy it.

[@DigiTism]

Colossus at one, maybe two. It’s not really hard to get rid of anymore and most of the options to get rid of it are already being run as standard in most decks.

[@steberdeber6223]

as long as OCG doesnt ban Colossus, there is a considerably good chance colossus goes to 1 in TCG besides, it wouldnt even be tier1 in the current meta just like how OCG shy away from it

[@Gucci.Clone253]

Tatsym cameo appearance was a nice touch lol

[@SaramatheUnchained]

I came here today because of the Colossus unhit, and the fact that the tech pick was Thesus to go into the now banned Fleur, is so… ironic? If you asked me

[@vm141789]

Colossus can come back depending on the format. I can see him having a life on and off the ban list.

[@LG22475]

I have been playing pure Thunder Dragon for awhile now but I think that transitioning to a chaos dragon variant might be better, as I just don't see what benefit the pure variant has anymore. Going second with the pure version is alright but fielding enough damage for an otk through disruptions is getting harder and harder.

[@iBenjamin1000]

I want to start by commenting how much I love puns and how much I have to applaud you for regularly making puns that make me scrunch up my face in disgust. thunder dragons are just the coolest bunch of cards ever. they're dragons. with electricity.

Your compliments are much appreciated, and I shall continue to do my best in providing the most cringe of puns!

[@kingasmodeus0]

I love that this was Tristan's ace in the anime according to the capsule monster arc :D

[@yusheitslv100]

This archetype is basically my favorite Pokémon, Zekrom, as a Yu-Gi-Oh archetype. It could just be the Tao Trio as a whole, since it's a chaos attribute archetype. To quote The Cali Effect K.O.G, "Free my brother Thunder Dragon Colossus!"

[@Red-Rebel]

Figured since Noajenk made a summoning chant, it's only fair I threw in my own. *Ahem!* Merciless force, become personified as the dragon with scales as dark as a thunder cloud. Command the sky with your electric wrath! Yugo Shokan! Emerge from the eye of the storm, Thunder Dragon Colossus! I came up with this in about a few minutes, so I hope it's not too bad.

[@Red-Rebel]

@@GoldenNovaYugioh I'm glad you like it. I think it's kind of clunky, though.

[@jamesbrincefield9879]

I wish they’d make more legacy support like this. It’d be so cool to have an archetype based on some of the old fusion monsters like Dark Baltar or Last Warrior or things like Paladin of White Dragon, Hungry Burger (obviously), Tri-Horned Dragon, or Serpent Night Dragon. I still haven’t lost hope for Gate Guardian support.

[@d-stro3033]

Would be cool more archetypes based on old monsters c:

[@GoldenNovaYugioh]

Yeah, I'd love to see the Hex Sealed Fusion Lineup expanded on, that was a really cool concept!

[@ScionStorm1]

@@GoldenNovaYugioh They never finished that series. There's still FIRE, WATER and WIND missing. Sadly in all this time there haven't been much strong fusion themes of those attributes. Well there's Metalphoes but I guess that wasn't enough for Konami to make Fure Hex-Sealed Fusion. The only prominent WIND fusion theme uses contact fusion.

[@DARREVIEWS77]

Personal suggestion as a tech pick for weather painters, kaijus obviously work well with thunder canvases effect, so why not up the tributes with laver golem, also as another tech pick, Metaltron XII, the True Dracombatant, you already run a bunch of continuous spells and traps to facilitate summon and immunity, but also if it gets destroyed you get a free summon from the extra deck, and considering you don’t use the extra deck, you can throw any applicable target in there.

[@fabianbeteta5795]

Still waiting for the six samurai archetype video.

[@ffjj3964]

Is it too much ask for a twin attribute archetype that not Light/Dark. I know it normally symbolizes good/evil, order/chaos, and nonsense. I would like see them do a Dark/Fire or Wind/Light. See what symbolism come from that mixture.
