After playing TD consistently since 2019, I finally put it down a few weeks ago. Fire is just too strong. That being said I took it so much farther than ppl realize. Chaos angel saves that deck. I spam it as much as jaden spammed neos. From solar & bystial to solar/roar/token, vanilla TD and TDdark. So many ways. And between BBeast / regained with hours package for removal and recycling. I was impressed how high the ceiling actually was
Nice that you made a video on the deck! I like it into Maliss - turns the removal options of Maliss Links into a benefit for you while also stopping MTP-07 via Colossus.
deck is hella fun right now. I got 2nd place in a recent case tournament running a 50 card version in tcg with a horus engine and the fusion trishula. Went against 6 people on the fiendsmith engine only losing to 1 of them and the dude was a ycs champ.
I agree with you so much on how this deck seems like endless follow up kinda like fiendsmith however this deck is much more rewarding bc you only get good follow up if you play well
I've been playing TD for the past few months, since they had the pure TD deck featured in that event, and I've been loving it. I was playing a version similar to this and moved on to a more pure version, but seeing the way you play it was AWESOME. I'm going to incorporate some more of the dragon strategy back in. Thanks for the video, and definitely would like to see your pure TD variant!
Although I would never want to backseat the champion, I would mention to other interested people that thunder dragon fusion along with verte can be a very good inclusion in this deck, as it allows you to recycle your banished thunder dragons in the grind game. Also putting your thunder dragons(og) back into the deck lets you use them to proc your titan effect after using them as materials for your bystials or other chaos monsters.
I feel like the dark end evaporation package with the light and darkness dragonlord should be a shoe in to this kind of deck. Searchable via melody, lots of level 8, and doesn’t conflict with colossus.
Yooo, pretty sick deck, I like it. I've always enjoyed thunder dragon since the day I pulled a Colossus at sneak. I'd love to see a pure profile as well.
YOu can use nemeses corridor to bring out thunder dragon collosus right? and also i'd love to see what your take on a Chaos themed deck would be, like using chaos angel, chaos witch and so on
Far be it from me to disagree with the world champ; however, I feel like this kinda build is way to combo oriented. I feel Thunder, nowadays anyway, in Master Duel plays better in a Mid-range sort of build alongside Horus & the Bystials. The dragon & Chaos stuff feels super greedy. Either way, it's great when the deck gets attention. I think it's a really solid option right now in both TCG & MD. Edit: and your comment about comparing it to Fiendsmith. I agree. I, personally, think the issue in this deck is in the set-up. Similar to what you experienced in game 1. Not to compare that 1:1 though, because obviously that player didn't play ideally. Your off roads to say Colossus pass are more convoluted in this build. While it has a high ceiling, certainly, it also has a glaring weakness to Maxx C & Fuwalos - if those cards were shotgunned in standby, ideally. You can't as easily get out from under those cards without giving the opponent as many draws as a normal summoned Batteryman Solar converting in Colossus would versus relying on the special, tribute, then specialing Colossus. Just my observation though. I do agree Thunder's strength is in its incredible grind game. No doubt.
I agree with this as someone playing pure thunder it’s hilarious getting maxx c and mulcharmied and then I just end on colossus pass and that sometimes enough haha.
@@mdel310 Yeah, I've been playing a Horus Bystial build. Most of the combos are two card combos outside of Gold Sarc, but it plays similar to pure & plays a bit better under Maxx C & the Mulcharmies. Sometimes you just go like Solar dump a guy then go dark to get a thunder eff off & make colossus off or roar back what solar dumped.
Ironically enough I made a Thunder Dragon deck on Dueling Nexus recently that works with Ryzeal. Still working on the kinks for it but so far it's decently good
Love your videos as always! Thunder Bystial is my main IRL. How would you approach a thunder bystial vs swordsoul ryu-ge matchup, with the ryu-ge continuous spell banishing all cards sent to the graveyard on your turn?
As someone who prefers engine piles over handtraps/board breakers, I've been enjoying Invoked Thunder Dragon Bystial. Maybe not the most optimal, but for sure a fun deck that can still put up very solid boards even through interruption.
Hey Jesse found your channel recently with the stuff you did with sam and the others back in the day when i played a lot i liked Evilswarm like with Ophion i had a lot of fun playing that id like to see if you could make evilswarm and ophion meta thanks
@Jesse Kotton YGO - This is epic video. I do hope one day you can do a dragunity video coming up either with a new strat to using them or using a Almost Pure dragunity. I honestly love the deck as much as u love THunders... !!! Please and thank you if u do. It would rock my world seeing that video LOL
You can play Thunder Dragon with Tearlament and Lightsworm. This is how it works: - Lightsworm's engine is used just to send cards from the deck to GY and to have level 4s. - The Tearlament engine will benefit from Lightsworm cards. - Fairy tale snow, when it's in the GY it helps to send TD cards to the banishment zone to activate their effects. (Because snow is limited you can play a small package of Bystial cards ) Note: you can play the Horus engine for more consistency.
I'd love to see your take on Phantom Knights. It feels like the deck has been pretty much solved at this point with just slight adjustments for specific metas. Would love to see your thoughts.
Can you go over the cards individually a casual like me doesnt know all of them by card art only. Or drop the decklist in the description 😂. Thanks in advance
It would be cool if you could take a look at Virtual World. I love the deck to death and am still waiting for support, but I feel like in its current form, it just doesn't do anything (and I never liked it being a VfD deck either, I just really like Shenshen).
First! Also, day 43 of asking for T.G. to be meta. One of these days, it will happen... Can people just blow this comment up with likes? i just want him to see it more often.
Jesse says he doesn’t play a normal summon bc he likes to tribute for colossus however if you play a tear engine it’ll fuel your face to the point where all your other engines are way way better
I personally don't like not having a dedicated normal summon for the deck, whether that be lupine, solar, or matrix, and I don't know if I'm crazy or something but I don't like the chaos dragons other than wyverburster+collapserpent. It feels like you're using too much room in an already engine heavy deck and sacrificing the chance to play hand traps or hand trap protection. Even without the chaos dragons you can still keep low to the ground and end on apollousa, collosus, and bystials in hand while playing around maxx c/purulia better and potentially having more generic handtraps yourself
ThunDra was my pet deck in DL. came to MD expecting the same but the deck was hella expensive back then. ended up not building the deck, even to this day. 😂
Hey Jesse. I love this idea and to answer your question, my absolute favorite deck is the Six Samurai. With all the new support that has come out and the new kizan synchro coming i would love to see your take on the archetype. I would really appreciate your insight into it.
Hey jessi, I really love Ninja. Its by far my fav deck and is the deck that made me the Duelist i am today. But i am really not sure how to play the deck currently. I have a lot of build and i mean alot. Close to 15 differnt ninja builds. I would love for u to try to get the deck back into meta. And if I would be able to help u with that in anyway. I am more then happy to help and be at ur service :3. Have love day
Man looking at that decklist thunder dragon is certainly not a cheap deck. Reminds me of the old Halq UR pile decks that were rampant till Halq ban. There's a grand total of 5 cards in that list below SR. My taste in deck themes is like my taste in music (classical and Heavy Metal) very clashing I would like to see a Dark Lords, Evil Eye, Melffys (a proper one not Sam's version of a Melffy deck that includes 3 total Melffys, or Vernusylph decklist
he isnt a tear or thunder fan. hes a snow fan. if it aint snowin, he aint goin

hopefully Thunder Dragon will get more love in the near future: it's the only TOSS deck that didn't receive a new wave of support.
I’m saying bro I want thunder dragon support so bad it’s such a cool deck
You say that till it's every game you get locked out of playing
@@HDGaminTutorialsyou get locked if you go second a lot of the time anyways.
Tbh this would make this deck broken ...100% doesn't need cards
@@HDGaminTutorials why would he care his playing the floodgate

tenpai players were never loved as a child.
This is facts 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Wow! That double Colossus commitment into Maxx "C" was crazy to watch!
Might as well if I am playing in to a fuwalos. I'm making double towers that says you can't search

Agents was the 1st deck I ever topped with and will always be my love. Would love to see your take on a fairy pile
This was quality content. Great take on an old archetype, played masterfully. 👏🏽
Make cloudian meta I dare you
It would take 9 hours video
Thundra was the second deck I crafted in md and I grinded it for months one of my favs
I feel like the dark end evaporation package with the light and darkness dragonlord should be a shoe in to this kind of deck. Searchable via melody, lots of level 8, and doesn’t conflict with colossus.

W Jesse saying hawk tuah
“Hawk tuah and spit on that thang”
The cycling in this deck is next level. Yeah, Bystials are a great way to get Thunder Dragons in the banish pile.
Regenesis & Mimighoul & Ancient Warriors are my favorite decks right now. Loving the gameplay for all of them lol
YOu can use nemeses corridor to bring out thunder dragon collosus right? and also i'd love to see what your take on a Chaos themed deck would be, like using chaos angel, chaos witch and so on
Thundra, Orcust, and Race are my three decks im basically a toss guy
About time. I finished my tcg thunder dragon deck with bystials a week ago. But... getting help from this video really does help
Omg, I've been waiting for this video since the last time you reviewed the deck. Time to go back to colossus, baby!!!!
That was awesome! Really wanna see them Krawlers and how great you can make them.😄
Seeing you tore apart that Tenpai first game was incredible, man i need resource to build this
watching that tenpai player hurt my soul, so many misplays
I enjoy voiceless drytron but I'd like to see what tech cards would you'd throw into the mix

Bro has reached too many finals when he mentioned his two 2nd place tops ☠️

God I love this deck. I use Horus in mine, ending in a spell and monster negate plus colossus is great
I play this deck on MD because I remember thinking thunder dragon was cool when I was a kid. So many people die to 'colossus pass' it's crazy.
Love your videos as always!
Thunder Bystial is my main IRL.
How would you approach a thunder bystial vs swordsoul ryu-ge matchup, with the ryu-ge continuous spell banishing all cards sent to the graveyard on your turn?
I would love to see what you could do with my D/D/Ds im interest in returning to the game and that is my favorite archetype
I havnt stopped playing this deck . Ever. It’s so funny. My normal summon is tear rhino :)
Very fun deck
Day (idk) of asking for magikey. I beg I just wanna see clavkiys out there man
As someone who prefers engine piles over handtraps/board breakers, I've been enjoying Invoked Thunder Dragon Bystial. Maybe not the most optimal, but for sure a fun deck that can still put up very solid boards even through interruption.
More Thunder decks please :) I love seeing things not the very common meta stuff, its super interesting to see personal "signature" decks
great deck love to see thunder dragon again :)
Prior to the release of maliss I was playing Runick Thunder Bystial, and the synergy is kind of insane
Ever since I was a kid an got the BLS out of the Master Collection I’ve been a fan of Chaos and chaos archetypes
Hey Jesse found your channel recently with the stuff you did with sam and the others back in the day when i played a lot i liked Evilswarm like with Ophion i had a lot of fun playing that id like to see if you could make evilswarm and ophion meta thanks
Saving this thumbnail for my private collection. Thanks Jesse!
I'd love to one day see Jesse running an Eldlich deck lol that'd be fun
Vanquished soul or witchcrafter. I've been playing a blind second VS deck that has been doing really well
Can you showcase this again? I really like thunder dragon. And it's really hard to pilot
It’s it possible to do a Centrion Tear or maybe Centrion Dragon Link if possible
I think a cool range of decks to make modern would be the edison archetypes!
@Jesse Kotton YGO - This is epic video. I do hope one day you can do a dragunity video coming up either with a new strat to using them or using a Almost Pure dragunity. I honestly love the deck as much as u love THunders... !!! Please and thank you if u do. It would rock my world seeing that video LOL
Honestly id love to see Jesse pick up a deck like @ignister just to prove how good those cards actually are in comparison to the general belief
You can play Thunder Dragon with Tearlament and Lightsworm.
This is how it works:
- Lightsworm's engine is used just to send cards from the deck to GY and to have level 4s.
- The Tearlament engine will benefit from Lightsworm cards.
- Fairy tale snow, when it's in the GY it helps to send TD cards to the banishment zone to activate their effects. (Because snow is limited you can play a small package of Bystial cards )
Note: you can play the Horus engine for more consistency.
Surely battery man solar? Or even a synchro package with assault synchron, barrone, dispater etc?
I'd love to see your take on Phantom Knights.
It feels like the deck has been pretty much solved at this point with just slight adjustments for specific metas.
Would love to see your thoughts.
Yo I love Thunder Dragon ❤ it’s the first deck I made on my own in MD. I’d love to see what a pure TD deck would look like for you
I main Thunder Bystial and made it to top 5% in ratings last season. The deck bricks a lot but when you draw a good hand it can cook
Would definitely like to see Pure Thunder at some point in time
Love my Zombie decks and I’d love to see your take on a zombie world deck or even a skull servant deck!
He did both those decks back in October for Halloween if you haven't seen them. As well as Vampires, Ghostrick, and Archfiends.
@ no way I’ll have to have a look
What do you think about Plunder Patroll to be the next deck to be meta
Can you go over the cards individually a casual like me doesnt know all of them by card art only. Or drop the decklist in the description 😂. Thanks in advance
It would be cool if you could take a look at Virtual World. I love the deck to death and am still waiting for support, but I feel like in its current form, it just doesn't do anything (and I never liked it being a VfD deck either, I just really like Shenshen).
I love seeing bystials used as an engine
Any chance we could see you play scareclaw?
The resource looping is insane
Can you build a tcg version of the deck?
I would love an eldlich variant that isn’t just floodgate turbo being viable. Hopefully you get to it eventually.
Can you save pendulum magician?
Thunder is my second favourite archetype!
If you could make infernoid meta that would be amazing ❤
First! Also, day 43 of asking for T.G. to be meta. One of these days, it will happen... Can people just blow this comment up with likes? i just want him to see it more often.
Let it go
6 days ago was yesterday for this guy
This, “I’m going to obnoxiously ask until I get my way” trend needs to die. With the quickness.
I wish man but Konami su*** and that's never happening. Instead they release stupid xyz ryzeal and other non synchro sh**
He does see your comment bro he just doesn’t care 😂 but one day bro he will notice you just need to stalk him a bit better
Thats was a impressive Build 👌
Subterrors, they are such a cool deck that need some renown
Fought with this deck yesterday it was fun deleting his board with my tenpai fireking 😂
I’d like to see you tackle the OG 2018 combo super-threat, Gouki
PURE THUNDER! I'd enjoy seeing that
How good is this deck at breaking boards?

I feel like solar might still be great in this deck. Solar + bystial seems solid
It’s very solid
Lair of darkness with two monsters called luminous soldier and vampire hunter !! Please make it meta Jesse
Lets reach 100k fam lets go
Jesse 👑 of 🃏
2:50 Why not both? :)
Does any one have a desk list for this?
@jesse I have an awesome idea with 4 cards but need help to create an engine for those 4 cards, would you help me?

I want all the thunder variants!
My buddy ran a version of bystial thunder dragon a few weeks ago at locals and destroyed everybody. Seeing it confirmed by the GOAT is scaring me 😅
It looks scary strong and fun to play, I will probably make a Thunder Dragon bystial deck at some point.
Ancient warriors made META.

Hear me out once dark necromancer comes out in Master Duel vent dreads
A shaddoll tear varient would be amazing to see
Please do more thunder dragon decks
Do SPYRAL next I haven't seen the deck do anything in awhile and it's at near full power in MD.
