IRL Thunder Dragons

[jabber2033 3]

Finally got all the cards for this in the mail, so now I can use this deck.  Problem with building a new deck around Ban List season is you don't know how it would get hit.  My question now is, should I get the remaining two Colossus now, or wait?

Monsters: 25

3 Thunder Dragon

3 Thunder Dragondark

3 Thunder Dragonroar

3 Thunder Dragonhawk

3 Thunder Dragonmatrix

3 Aloof Lupine

2 Batteryman Solar

2 Effect Veiler

3 Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring

Spells: 13

3 Allure of Darkness

3 Instant Fusion

3 Called by the Grave

2 Thunder Dragon Fusion

1 Gold Sarcophagus

1 Monster Reborn

Traps: 2

2 Infinite Impermanence

 

Extra DecK: 15

3 Thunder Dragon Colossus

2 Thunder Dragon Titan

1 Kaminari Attack

1 Thousand-Eyes Restrict

2 Some Summer Summoner

1 Wee Witch's Apprentice

1 Knightmare Phoenix

1 Knightmare Unicorn

1 Summon Sorceress

1 Borreload Dragon

1 Borrelsword Dragon

 

A note on Impermanence: I got lucky and pulled one, and traded one of my spare Borrelswords I pulled for a second copy.  I'm not blowing $90 on a third when we're getting reprints in a couple months.

Not an expert so take my thoughts as a grain of salt:
- From what I have seen, some decks open with 2 Colossus. So I would suggest to get at least 1 more copy of it. Besides, I doubt they will drop a new banlist this recently, They did say not earlier than January, but it doesn't guarantee there will be one right after this month.
- Not really convinced of x3 Instant Fusion, personally. It sucks when you draw it in multiples due to the hard OPT. IMO give it a shot with x2.
- IDK if it's any good but I have seen some variant with Brilliant Fusion to Summon Prism-Aura then "evolve" it into Dragon Titan. If you got a Brilliant engine, it may be worth a shot.

Bit the bullet and ordered my Colossus pair this morning.

I'd rather see IF than not, and having it at 2 makes me see it less.  Yeah, it's annoying drawing multiples, but you've got Dragonhawk to fix your hand.

I do wanna try the Brilliant engine, and I have a playset of BF, but I don't have the Prism or Amber.  So Called is in its place for now.  Called might actually be better, just because the deck is somewhat vulnerable to Ash.

Deck updated for the January 28 Ban List and also post-Savage Strike.  

Aloof Lupine is really nice.  Certainly makes up for the loss of 2 Gold Sarc, though it kind of interferes with thunder-type summons a bit what with it being beast-type.  Wee Witch makes use of it though.  And a 3100 ATK Colossus is always nice to have.
