[Updated] Colossus Rank 8 Lockdown

UPDATED FOR FEB 2025 (Rogue Non-Meta)

Okay, so what am I trying to do?
This deck is a Thunder Dragon 8-Axis lockdown deck that focuses on getting out Colossus as fast as possible, using Armaggeddon Knight as your main starter.

Armaggeddon will send any DARK monster from your deck to your grave, letting you get Thunder Dragons in your grave, as well as Bystials. I highly reccomend sending "Thunder Dragonroar" or "Bystial Saronir" since Dragondark can send himself recursively, and Saronir can send a Bystial down with it.

Your stage 1 end board will consist of multiple "negates" (I use this term loosely, as Dingirsu doesn't actually "negate", per say) with Dingirsu and/or Titanic long name, and preferrably Colossus to prevent searches. The main way to get into Rank 8s is with Horus, as well as Bystials. You mainly want to get all four Horus members in your GY to Special, as you will be able to XYZ twice. You can then go into "The Zombie Vampire" if you choose to do so, and mill four cards, as well as get another Special. Just make sure you have Dingirsu or another good negation tool to prevent your opponent from stopping the combo. After you pull off this combo, you can do damage, or advance to stage 2. Your stage 2 end board, and your last combos, would be making "Knightmare Unicorn" (or another rank 3), then linking into "Accesscode Talker", activating its effect, and dealing massive damage with 5300 ATK, ending the duel with a quick victory.

Side Deck
Included in the Side Deck are some more handtraps and disruptions, such as Nibiru, Veiler, and Shifter, which this deck has no issues playing under.
