This archetype's focus is to Normal Summon multiple Level 4 LIGHT Thunder type monsters in one turn to Xyz Summon Rank 4 monsters

There are two common playing styles to this archetype -- Control and Swarm.

For the Swarm strategy, because of the abilities of Mahunder and Pahunder, you can perform multiple Normal Summons to land large amounts of damage on your opponent provided all of your monsters attack directly. This can be improved by Solidarity; however, be aware there are no Thunder-Type Xyz monsters that can be supported by this archetype at this time, and thus if you Xyz Summon, you may cause Solidarity's effect to become null. You can use Dimensional Fissure to help evade this, as the Xyz Materials will go to the Graveyard, but the Xyz Monster(s) will be Banished.

For the Control strategy, you'd want to focus on dropping 1 Xyz at a time (such as Starliege Paladynamo or Constellar Omega) for your opponent to be pressured by, while maintaining a powerful hand advantage by using Thunder Seahorse, Sishunder and Recycling Batteries. Then during the next turn, play another Xyz Monster to either regain, maintain, or further improve your advantage. Using Tragoedia in this strategy is a great defense mechanism that can turn into a powerful offense, as you can generally keep a large hand consisting of 4 or more cards consistently.

Because this archetype has such flexibility, you can take portions of both strategies and implement them into a single deck. You can use control cards in a swarm strategy to keep your opponent from countering you; you can Summon multiple monsters at once in a control strategy to inflict the final blow to your opponent after you've countered all of their other options.

Traps
Any of the generalized traps will do for this deck to be at its peak.

Sishunder should be run at 2 max
Thunder Sea Horse is a staple at 3
Vylon Prism is 2 at lowest
Batteryman AAA is 0 or 3 one or the other basically
Kagetokage is 0-3
Honest is 0-1 (Some of the XYZ monsters aren't light which wont synergize with it)
Constellar Omega is 1-2
Emeral is a 0-1
All of the 3 of XYZs are all 0-1
Paladynamo is a 0-2 (some builds prefer 101 over it (like the chaos build for example))
Monster Converter 0-2 not much to say since its not that great, but it does have its uses IF you draw a monster



Those are my changes to the list so far if you would like take them into consideration

Seahorse is really the crux of the deck, yes? I think you should really emphasize just how OP the card is. And say that you can search Seahorse with Seahorse.

...

Mebbe add a little ruling section detailing the ruling questions that are common with each card.

Sea Horse is not the crux of the deck, and can be a double edged sword, but when 90% of your monster cards are searchable by that same card it can really open up plays even in terrible situations. The card can turn awful hands into great hands, and a chance to win the duel, or at least fight back.
The card searches 2 cards out of most your entire deck, but the ONLY downside is that you cannot special summon for 1 turn. If you go back and look at the previous tournaments Hunders have won I guarantee you 99% of them ran 3 Thunder Sea Horse with the other 1% running 2 due to a space tight build.
