PURE Thunder Dragon Is STILL The MOST Slept On Meta Deck!? *NEW* Combo to RUIN THE META!

[@mertkaanemre4356]

First combo, i would have activated Shifter first, so if your Opponent has Effect Veiler it is now dead, just a little variation

[@matthewstephens6502]

Nobody is sleepin on pure thunder cali, get with the program! XD

I like how clear the combos are. Makes it really easy to watch.

[@inquisitrmikey7920]

Thunder Dragons are still amazing. The effects are pretty balanced even though Collosis is oppressive to some decks. Also I think the aesthetics are cool. Play Thunder Dragons along side with Rokkets to have more options in certain match ups.

[@jalenbritt7356]

I never thought of running Rokkets in Thunder Dragon

How would you run the Rokkets alongside the Thunder Dragons? I’m new to Thunder Dragons so I can’t picture it right now?

Cool deck and awesome playmat! Personaly I recommend a dimensional fissure as a "fourth" dimensional shifter. It's not quite the same but it can get the job done.

In my build it's pretty much like yours but I'm running 3 Ash and 3 Veiler instead of Thanos, and nice Deku playmat by the way.

[@TheCardof]

that intro tho 😂 made my day thanks for the deck profile im gunna try it out this weekend

[@ryanclancey5734]

Im quite liking thunder dragon invoked, its probably worse then all previous meta forms of thunder dragon, but it can do full combo even if the opponent has nibiru in hand. The usual board is either 2 collosus, 1 mechaba, or 2 mechaba, 1 collosus even when preping for nibiru.

Invoked Thunder Dragon sounds interesting. What’s your deck list?

[@ryanclancey5734]

@@exileddarkness2683 Monster Cards: 3x All main deck Thunder Dragon Monsters except duo 3x Batteryman Solar 3x Aleister the Invoker 3x Ash Blossom Spell cards: 3x Magical Meltdown 1x Terraforming 2x Invocation 3x Allure of darkness 2x Thunder Dragon Fusion 2x Instant fusion 1x Gold Sarcophagus 1x upstart Goblin 1x Monster Reborn Extra Deck: 3x Thunder Dragon Colossus 2x thunder Dragon Titan 2x Invoked Mechaba 1x invoked Purgatrio 1x Kaminari Attack 1x Link Spider 1x Linkuriboh 1x Salamangreat Almiraj 1x Some Summer Summoner 1x Aleister The invoker of madness 1x Black Luster Soldier - Soldier of Chaos This is the current version of the deck, but Ive already ran into some problems. Im putting 3x Infinite Impermanence in the main deck since 3 ash just isnt enough. The deck is also missing any form of chaos cards, but due to deck space, 1 thunder dragonduo looks like it might be the best i can do. As for the extra deck, Ive noticed that if a game runs on for any real length of time i run out of mechabas early, so i might see if i can find the space for a third. I also want to run psy-frame lambdia to help clear out the extra monster zone. I cut Knightmare Phoenix just before this list and havnt ran into any issues because of it, but worth noting that backrow removal in the main deck only consists of titan and BLS. The deck isnt perfect, and im hoping to have a solid version of the deck for YCS Niagra, but this is what im working with.

[@matthewstephens6502]

Also, i think allure is the best card in TD

[@bdr93z96]

Cali I’m building danger crusadia blue eyes and I was thinking of adding 2 or 3 copies of dimension shifter. Do you think this is a good idea for the deck?

[@sqrtxfaith2188]

Where are the mint sleeves from?

[@EMangune]

Hey Cali! I’m just trying to understand in the first combo how will you have a dimension shifter in hand to follow up after you summon BLS? I love you videos and use them to learn but I can’t figure this one out for myself. Let me know! Thank you for amazing content!

[@Reignbeaux55]

am I the only playing lambda + psy frame gamma in TD? with an extra level 8 synchro like borreloadsavage or omega?

How does it play around it?

D shift stops most decks from using the GY in which case will make your opponent most likely pass turn unless they want to lose a bunch of resources. Doesn’t really stop dark ruler but it stops your opponent from making plays

Analytically, Thunder Dragon has outperformed Fire Fist in every dynamic and even this profile has outdone the live duel that preceded it. As much as I would love Fire Fist on my channel, the deck hasn't performed in any metric view wise for my channel.

Reason why it’s “Slept On “ ( Not really) Is Cause the deck is hundreds of dollars Either your an adult or a kid with either a parent willingly spending that much money or your just a kid with some cash. But for kids (Like Me ) Or a Person Who Can’t spend money like that is screwed It’s Like how Certain cards such as borrelsword or phantazmay Or Knightmare Link Monsters, And Borreload Savage Dragon Don’t Really Have official Reprints Or Starter decks with them. Yes these cards can be broken but they are meta and belong to meta decks. Just wondering anyone else’s thoughts should decks and cards be more expensive because they are better or should Konami find a way to obtain better cards without increasing prices?

[@dagonesbrowe9419]

am i just silly, or is most of the time a brick?

[@AaronHeininger]

Dont really like the strategy the first play leaves you open to just attacking Collosous or ragekai. Plus the other strategies are to clumsy and easy to deal with thanks to dark ruler nomore and super poly. Also demension shifter is a dead draw on second turn so its just a brick card.
