Thunder Seahorse

Short Review as i've covered it many times recently. There will be no need for a Read More button this time.

Anyway moving on...

Thunder Seahorse
LIGHT
Level 4
Thunder/Effect
You can activate this effect during your Main Phase by discarding this card. Add 2 Thunder-Type LIGHT Level 4 or lower Monster with 1600 ATK or less and the same name from your deck to your hand. The effect of "Thunder Seahorse" can only be activated once per turn, and during the turn you activated this effect, you cannot Special Summon Monster(s).
1600/1200

I really like this card. It is really a great searcher for any Thunder deck. Grab 2 Batteryman AA if you wanted. Grab 2 Wattcobra or Wattgiraffe. Honestly the best use for this card is in Watts or Exodia builds. Thunder Dragon to grab 2 Thunder Dragon. Thunder Seahorse to grab 2 Thunder Seahorse... Pot of Duality... One Day of Peace...  Cardcar D suddenly you've gained 4 cards in hand drew 3 cards and grabbed one of the top 3 to your hand... and can take no damage the next turn. If you drew things like Reckless Greed you'd set those before the Cardcar D effect.

This card being able to search so many different Thunder monsters is very useful in that this card is an inherent plus 1. Also can be more if the next turn you use the searched Seahorse to grab 2 more Thunder's. This card can grab any level 4 or lower Batteryman at will. I'm very happy this card has 1600 ATK or else it'd be broken with Recycling Batteries.

In the side deck for Watts you can run Electric Virus. Well this card can search two of those to your hand in order to deal with the Dragon and Machine match-ups.

This card can even search Elemental Hero Voltic. It can grab two Watthopper for future Lockdown usage... This card just has a lot of potential. Being unable to Special Summon doesn't really matter much as if you are using a Thunder deck you probably don't Special Summon much anyway unless it's the kill stroke. I can see this card gaining heavy usage in Watts and bringing Batterymen up a little in playability.

Well that's my 10 cents on this card and how I believe it should be used. If you have more to add please leave a comment and I'll be sure to think on't.

EDIT: Anonymous also mentioned Morphtronic Radion as a Target for this which could be pretty useful. As that'd be the largest monster you can search with this card.

Once they have this on DN i'll have some good work to make.
