Thunder Therion's

So for the past few days, I've been experimenting with the thunder dragon archetype. back in 2019 it was my favorite deck of the format and of all time, and it still very much is. so I finally decided to put on my builder's cap on and get to work on building a totally new take on the thunder dragon deck as a whole. not only was my goal to break the very boring mold on thunder dragons(chaos variants, Punk varients, etc.) that they have been made into today, but to create a deck that is both easy to learn and can have a very competent end board.

ladies and mentalgen, I give to you! Thunder Therions! the idea of this deck is very simple. create an end board that provides the strongest wall in the simplest way possible. the origional idea was to combine the thunder dragon archetype with the plant engine, which consists of 3 Lonefire Blossom, 3 Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio, and 2 Predaplant Darlingtonia Cobra. this would provide an engine that would be able to search out Ready fusion in which you would be able to get easy access too thunder dragon titan as well as extend into a board of a 3-4 negate apollousa, as well as a quick effect pop on titan.

but then I got to thinking, what if I included the therion engine into the deck as a way to build a much more solid board? I was already using the plant engine as a main part of the deck as its main playstarter, so it would make sense that using the therion cards would increase the power of my board state. it took me a while to figure out the ratios for this engine, but thanks to the video from Revscards predaplant list, I was able to find the perfect ratios to use in the deck. now, thanks to lonefire blossom. the deck can now extend even further into a board that consists of 4 monster negates(apollousa) + 1 quick effect pop(titan) + 1 omni negate(regulus). this is the best possible board to my knowledge that this deck can perform. I decided to run regulus, Borea, and Discolossium all at 1 because you generally do not want to draw them as you want to summon Borea off of lonefire blossom or search it with Rose belle of revelation.

Overall, I am very proud of this list, not only do I feel like I accomplished something I never thought was possible, I started to genuinely smile after I finished building this deck. thunder dragons have always had a special place in my heart as it was the first deck I ever took to locals, and seeing that colossus had gotten banned really broke me. I've spent years trying to give the deck some legs to stand on, but I've never really succeeded at that until now. I really hope ya'll like this list, and I would appreciate it if you gave me some constructive criticism on how to improve on this deck.

P.S. the extra deck is extremely flexible as you only need about 5 slots in the extra deck to function, so the rest of the extra deck is for you to decide what to fill it with.
