Welcome to Gaia! ::

I hope you don't find it too intrusive, but please allow me to flesh out a few of your concerns.

So far as your fears of Pachy interfering I myself honestly don't think you want to run more than one of him. Effect wise he's amazing, but when it comes to utility I'd much rather stick to guys with strong effects like Gigantes, or beat sticks that bait out S/T like cyber.

Thunderking honestly just trumps so many things it's not even funny. I know you're concerned on Boulder and solidarity, but in all seriousness most of your guys are big enough and backed with enough support that Solidarity just becomes three redundant ATK boosters. Boulder too is something that I even hesitate to run. This is just my preference, but I'd rather field a 1900 beater with a good effect than a searcher. That's not to say he shouldn't be run at one or even two, you know as an opening play or even to pull out a Sandman to negate that Mirror Force you know they have. As for Thunderking negating the search, you have to ask yourself, how often will you field a Boulder if you have a Thunderking, or Vice-Versa?

sorry if this seemed rambly at all.

That is why you bom thunder king to get boulder's effect.
