Instructions on how to build Thunder Dragon
Preface
overview

Thunder Dragon is a prototype line of LIGHT and DARK Thunder monsters, released in the Roaring Thunder (Master Duel) pack. With Thunder Dragon : The card was first released in Booster Pack vol 7 in 2000 with the original purpose of just being a material to summon Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon. It wasn't until 2018 that Konami officially added a new set of monsters in Soul Fusion (OCG & TCG), Thunder Dragon officially transformed into an Archetype.
Thunder Dragons have a very simple operating mechanism: All Thunder Dragons are level 5/6 and can activate both effects from the hand or when coming from the field to the GY or being banished (except for the original Thunder Dragon , But only activate 1 effect in 1 turn!). Thunder Dragons that are Level 7 or higher will activate powerful attack-boosting, field-locking, and field-clearing effects. Thunder Dragon previously entered the meta, but was hit quite hard in the TCG and OCG battlefields. However, currently on the Master Duel platform, the card line has gradually occupied a large position in the top tier.
The card line's supports from the Chaos, Battery,... lines are all available in the Inevitability of Chaos pack or the Roaring Thunder (Master Duel) pack of the line.

The Thunder Dragon
Thunder Dragon Magic/Traps
Help us Fusion Thunder Dragons from the Extra Deck. Although we cannot use monsters from our hand as materials, we can shuffle the materials based on the Fusion monster's request list to the Deck. Therefore, Thunder Dragon Fusion is also a recycler that helps you recycle goods to continue reloading for the next turns.
At the same time, this is also a searcher, can banish this card from the grave (except the turn this card is sent to the grave) to search for another Thunder monster from the deck.
Note : Before Colossus was Limited, Thunder Dragon Fusion was rarely used (only used when all Colossus was lost), but since it was Limited, summoning Titans is not as easy as before, so this number of cards play increased from 0-1 (previously) to 2-3.
The rarity of this card is SR so it is quite expensive to craft, not to mention, the roll rate of it is not high.
- Discharge will be used to lock the field with Titan and Colossus
- Hundred Thunders works like a recycler, but it restores to the field, not to the hand. In case the field is too empty it can be used as a shield full of monsters with the same name but it depends on the situation because most TD decks banish all Thunder.
