• This card can be searched by "Chaos-End Master" and another "Thunder Dragon".

• It's generally a good idea to use "Thunder Dragon"'s effect as soon as you draw it. Your opponent will know what two of the cards in your hand are, but you don't risk drawing another "Thunder Dragon" on a later turn, effectively wasting both the draw and "Thunder Dragon"'s effect.

• If you need enough LIGHT monsters to banish for cards such as the Summon Condition of "Soul of Purity and Light", or the effect of "Freed the Brave Wanderer", discard 1 "Thunder Dragon" by its effect to search for a second copy, then discard the second to the Graveyard to search for a third copy.

• After you discard "Thunder Dragon" to get two more into your hand, you can use "Polymerization" (Using such cards as "King of the Swamp", if necessary) to Fusion Summon "Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon", a powerful monster with 2800 ATK, whilst effectively only decreasing your hand size by two cards.

• This card can also be useful if you use card effects which require you to discard as a cost, essentially allowing you to use such cards for free up to two times.

• This card is good in an "The Forbidden One" Deck that tries to thin out the deck so that all 5 pieces of Exodia are drawn quickly.

• This card is good with "Eccentric Boy" to fill the hand with level 5 monsters and Synchro Summon for a Level 8 Synchro Monster.

• Use this card with cards that benefit from a larger hand such as "Muka Muka" or "Final Destiny".

• Use this card with cards like "Hand Destruction", "Card Destruction", "Magical Mallet" or "Reload" to draw more cards.

• Running 3 of this card is useful in a "Batteryman" Deck, as they thin out the deck so you are more likely to draw the all important OTK cards you need. They are also good fodder for the effect of "Batteryman Industrial Strength".

• Use this card to Special Summon "Lightray Grepher" from the hand, and use the second Thunder dragon to banish a monster from the deck.

Traditional Format

• This card can be searched by "Witch of the Black Forest".
