You can only use this card name's (1) effect once per turn.

(1) If this card is Link Summoned: You can target 1 "Thunder Dragon" monster your have that is banished or in your GY; apply the effect written on that monster that activates by discarding itself from the hand, then place it on the top or bottom of your Deck.

(2) If a Thunder monster you control would be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can banish 3 cards from your GY instead.

I assume you're supposed to use summer vacation to make this so it's less of a neg

First monster effect applier in the game I believe

 

Or first non-Spell/Trap-Card-activation-applier rather

the main combo is opening solar and hawk

solar dump roar

hawk summon, solar makes token

token and roar make summoner

roar summon Bolt from deck

make bolt summoner and solar into link

then you can copy hawk with link to revive something

then make Titan

(the mistake)

also bolt can add fusion

however

i forgot that since the link puts hawk back

you can't just then hard fuse into colossus

so you need any other way to get a TD into grave/banish

so like

gold sarc, foolish

etc

discarding a vanilla

any way to get the 3rd

it's really not. if it were a L3, it would be really good, but tbh, as a link 4, there's far better options that allow you to push for game instead. The borrel bros mostly. even batteries can make more use of this than actual thunder dragons can. that said, the TD trap, hundred thunders, can give you up to 3 materials for it easily. the protection is really expensive, meaning it woun't be as useful early game if they force it out on a singular destruction effect, and while the link summon effect is good, again, it doesn't give you enough back for what you have to put into it.

 

some summer sommoner is a far better link boss in the deck than this is, unless we get more support that changes that. the art is incredibly boss though. if it had 2 more heads it could be mecha king gidorah.

I love this card, simply because of the effect-applying thing. I hope they use it again on some other cards. For instance, a Spell/Trap that applies the effect of a Cloudian monster that activates by removing Fog Counters.
