Yoooo crazy how I was thinking about building a new deck and couldn't decide between Drytron and Thunder Dragons. Then Cali comes by and drops this video, talk about the universe giving me a sign lol.
colossus is prob not coming back, but he is at 1 in ocg so i dont see any problem. but thunder dragons are going to skyrocket if colossus comes back. Megaliph drytron is really good budget option.
Ah, it's always a good day when Calieffect uploads a new Thunder Dragon profile. Using Instant/Ready Fusion to get to Crystal Wing is sick. Been running that since Ready came out. Lotta players don't expect Thunder to drop a Crystal Wing.
The healthy introduction alone makes subscriber out of me thank you been very long time since I've been in the Yu-Gi-Oh community you made her feel less toxic
Getting back into yugioh because of duel masters. Seeing an arguably tier 2 ish deck run for around 300-400$ with budget options kinda breaks my heart.
Opponent: Why you can Special Summon DPE with Thunderdragon Fusion?? King of Games: Because it´s TheCaliEffect! Love your Deckprofils and your other videos. :) Greetings form Germany
I think you could play “Allvain, the essence of vanity” instead of “Sea monster of Theseus.” It would allow you to go to the lvl-8 synchro monsters. If you need an extender, you could use Chaos Ruler, and if you need boss monsters you can summon Borreload Savage or psy- framelord omega. Just a variation I came up with.
I play a bit of a bricky chaos thunder build, but it's one of those builds that may brick frequently but can make some pretty nutty boards. Throwing the nemeses cards in here adds so MAJOR extending potential to the deck, but at the cost of making it a bit brickier. Even have a single necroface and gold sarc for the lolz!
Personally I want our thunder dragon fusion to go back to 1. But regardless I’m considering picking this core up for fun as I love this strategy with pure or splashed with lightsworn
I used tuning and quickdraw synchron instead of the instant/ready fusion and the normal summons. Both help send cards to the graveyard for the chaos engine and goes through Tzolkin and Crystal Wing on 4th or 5th summon.
What about Archnemesis Eschatos? You can Type-lock your opponent. For example, if you use it against Lyrilusc, just call Winged-Beast. Salamngreat, call Cyberse. They wont be able to summon from there.
I mean , going first it does nothing since you need to know what they are playing and have a monster of that type on the field to call it, you can't just call cyberse and restrict your opponent. And it's a dragon , if you play it with tenyi/swordsoul it is not searchable and you can't summon it since you need 3 different types on the graveyard.
Played your list at locals this week with gold sarc and triple tactics mained as well and went 3-1-1. Honestly it was pretty good. Just wish it have more draw power
I am trying to play this deck on master duel but ready fusion is not available at this moment. Should I change the deck completely or are there some replacements you would recommend?
Hey cali, idk if you read this still, but what can i substitute for the DPE engine? Master duel is out, and fusion destiny is of course banned in the OCG, BUT Colossus is limited. I want to learn this deck so idk what to do w/o the dpe engine. EDIT: DPE is not even in MD!
Hey there Cali! I was wondering where you get your frames for your mats. I have one that I’m trying to frame up but unsure where to find the frame and I’m too lazy to make one for myself haha. Appreciate your content, king!
While not as powerful as DPE, Rainbow Neos is actually a sick going second fusion. The non-targeting shuffle back is very hard to recover from for most decks. Just beware to make sure you bait out any negates first before you go into Rainbow Neos. Neos is fragile when compared with Dragoon's built-in protection and DPE's cockroach-likeness, even with Neos Fusion in consideration.
LOL I was just playing with this deck last night from some of your old vids. Few questions if you can Cali: 1. Why the 42 card decks? I see some people run 42 for DPE or Dragoon package, but idk why not 40 exactly? 2. No Some Summer Summoner? Same with cross sheep, the +1 material was sorta useful for Apollousa tbh 3. I saw some old profiles included twin headed thunder dragon.. why? lmao I never managed to find a valid time to summon it
#1 A lot of people add +1 card for each Dasher & Celestial to increase odds of not drawing them, same for Scythe. Honestly there are so many ways to jump start the combos that its stable up to 45 cards (not that you should, but it works). #2 extra deck space is too tight. Sheep and Summoner are OK but if it had room there are better options. #3 Seen that too and it makes little sense.
@@davidagosta when you open a dead hand with thunder dragon + thunder fusion, you can mill 2 thunder dragon to grave and summon twin headed with ur fusion. Than you can use vanilla thunder again to search 2 td and banish 1 of them and the twin headed to summon titan
@@RoBin-ec1fd Personally in almost 2 years playing it I have never been in a situation where I wished I had Twin Headed, but there have been many games where I wished I had Number 38 or Anima. There's about 4 cards I want to run but don't have room for and THTD doesn't make that list. If it was Lv6 it would be different.
This deck looks awesome. Love the thunder dragon archetype. Thanks for the profile bro. Keep up the good work Also, why did Konami limit Instant fusion then release a card that does the same thing verbatim and is better…
Instant fusion can summon effect monsters. Powerful ones to, and it’s treated as a fusion summon. Cards like millennium eyes can just stop hand traps, the new predap card can facilitate searching any fusion spell. You can instant out mud dragon and make your monsters immune to imperm, vieler, ghost mourner. You can instant fusion into time wizard of tomorrow for a free board wipe before commiting, raijin can book of moon itself so that it doesn’t get destroyed by instant fusion and you get to keep it. Plus summoning effect monsters is easier for link summoning as most require effect monsters while ready fusion can only summon non effects which means you’ll probably have to link spider them away or use highly specific normal monsters for your strategy.
I thought Dagda only got the Scythe set when a card that was already on the field activated its effect like a continuous S/T or monsters effects......I dont think you can just activate a normal spell and still get Dagdas set effect.......or am I missing something
I think the problem with the deck is since aloof lupin is like one of your only ways to pop off, the deck isn't able to pop off super hard. I'm thinking maybe adding draw cards like prosperity or desires would help this deck however. Hoping this advice can help you lol
Damn it I want to know what's happening. Got over a half dozen variants in testing depending on different ban list outcomes (Colossus yes/no, Verte yes/no, Scythe yes/no) and its a pain. Regionals in a couple of weeks and no clear indication of what cards I can play, and prepare to play against. The YCS shouldn't delay the announcement as they can just omit it like they did for Toronto 2013.
Idk how important it is anymore.. but I’m finally legend Rank 1 in duel Links… now I just have to get passed legend rank 5 or 7 to get the KING OF GAMES Rank!!! Let’s gooooo Btw… been using Dark Magician this entire time hahaha

If colossus comes off then thunder is better because it has a slight edge over drytron
@@theskullboy8700 cap.... droplets, chalice, imperm so many ways to deal with that card nowadays
@@theskullboy8700 lul current drytron is better than thunder with 1 colossus

Out of most yugitubers your the one that gives thunder dragons the most love and respect.
I don’t even play the TCG or OCG anymore but I just like your videos and the energy you have in your videos
I sorta made this deck in master duel & love it. Some of the cards aren't in the game, but I kinda get it to work. Ty for the deck build & combos

Love your Deckprofils and your other videos. :) Greetings form Germany
That colossus was beautiful though 😍
Thunder dragon colossal back baby!!!
Yohooooo Thunder Dragon Colossus is an amazing YuGiOh Deck !!!!!
that intro was wayyyy too good to be true LMAO
Bro the dreads looking crispy 💯💯💯

If you need an extender, you could use Chaos Ruler, and if you need boss monsters you can summon Borreload Savage or psy- framelord omega. Just a variation I came up with.
Theseus provides access to Baronne tho
Yea, any easy Baronne access is superior i would say
The way you flopped the DPE engine onto the field 😂
I play a bit of a bricky chaos thunder build, but it's one of those builds that may brick frequently but can make some pretty nutty boards. Throwing the nemeses cards in here adds so MAJOR extending potential to the deck, but at the cost of making it a bit brickier. Even have a single necroface and gold sarc for the lolz!
So when that direct deposit hits, I’m getting a mat! Sick collection! Despia sold out already! 😭
Playing bystial in this deck now makes it so much more consistent now
Colossus ain’t never getting off the main list. Trust me colossus in our hands will get it banned on the next band list that quick
This is my favorite deck hands down, I’m so kissed the deck got nerfed. If colossus comes back I’m definitely rebuilding it.
6:24 talking ben
I was looking to play this deck for tournaments but Verte got banned. How should I work around this, any suggestions?
I use a the bystial cards and it runs smooth
Personally I want our thunder dragon fusion to go back to 1. But regardless I’m considering picking this core up for fun as I love this strategy with pure or splashed with lightsworn
I play 3 dark and 3 matrix but also play raiden and charge for mill, just seems smoother than the traditional thunder chaos
what card is charge? and raiden?
@@walidkhan8780 lightsworn cards, and raiden is a tuner so opens up level 8 synchro plays for the chaos synchro which is a great extender
By the way Cali, I really wanted to cop a Phoenix enforcer mat but I noticed you don’t ship to Europe. Any plans of changing that?
You the man! Yesterday someone in your comments ask for the deck profile and you post a video less than 24 hours later
I used tuning and quickdraw synchron instead of the instant/ready fusion and the normal summons. Both help send cards to the graveyard for the chaos engine and goes through Tzolkin and Crystal Wing on 4th or 5th summon.
That intro had me dying xD
Hey Cali do you mind me asking what sleeves do you use for your main deck
Thunder dragons dope!

My jaw dropped not thinking of using the Scythe with Titan 🤦🏾♂️ but now ya boy is about to head to TCGPlayer lmao 🤣
Nice pun at the end cali
Man... I cant image, how dissapointed you will be when see colossus stay banned :(
He'll come back one day, ocg did it and eventually tcg follows lol
@@franciscolozada1059 Tell Maxx C that ; _ ;
@@GundamShinobi00 to be fair maxc c is a bigger cancer card than colossus so that can stay where is at lol
@@franciscolozada1059 Id say they are both just as bad, just one of them happens to be generic.
I find it hard to believe that someone would be unironically disappointed that a card like Colossus didnt get unbanned.
I haven’t seen this deck for so long
What are those sleeves you have on your extra deck?
name of the synchro at minute 14:19
Whether we are with dogs, battery bois, or the light brigade. We will always survive. Hail thunder dragon

Instead of having DPE I was thinking of putting a Rainbow Neos engine into my deck, Could that be viable?
While not as powerful as DPE, Rainbow Neos is actually a sick going second fusion. The non-targeting shuffle back is very hard to recover from for most decks.
Just beware to make sure you bait out any negates first before you go into Rainbow Neos. Neos is fragile when compared with Dragoon's built-in protection and DPE's cockroach-likeness, even with Neos Fusion in consideration.
Thunder Dragons are all about versatility and Neos is going-2nd only. I think hes mad underrated but not good in decks focused on flexibility.
What is that monster on the game matt?
Your intros were cheesy but you slowly softened me. Some of what you say is actually just facts
why is it always summon in defense? to stop lightning storm?
“Budget options” -
*Slaps down a ghost boi
In person YCS in January is now online. Have fun guys.

Also, why did Konami limit Instant fusion then release a card that does the same thing verbatim and is better…
Sales. Like there are so many cards on the bad list that make no sense except to force players to buy more.
Instant fusion can summon effect monsters. Powerful ones to, and it’s treated as a fusion summon. Cards like millennium eyes can just stop hand traps, the new predap card can facilitate searching any fusion spell. You can instant out mud dragon and make your monsters immune to imperm, vieler, ghost mourner.

@@coltonjohnson390 ooooh, that’s right. I knew I must’ve overlooked something
@@coltonjohnson390 lol you came prepared
Because Instant Fusion can summon cards that have effects. (😱😱 I know. So broken. Kekw.)
(I think it can come to 3, but who am I to say?)
8:17 that Extra Deck looks gorgeous.
I thought Dagda only got the Scythe set when a card that was already on the field activated its effect like a continuous S/T or monsters effects......I dont think you can just activate a normal spell and still get Dagdas set effect.......or am I missing something
You are correct
I also like playing 1 brotaur to summon off of spheres so that i search levi for the next turn
