This is a post I meant to do a while ago as I've had the contents of an "Estrel Structure Deck" for a few months now buuuuut I was kind of ignoring the blog due to Persona 5/Xenoverse 2. So let's fix that!
Anywho one of the themes I almost like as much as Ritual Monsters are Thunder Monsters. A friend aptly described it as "lightning runs in your blood" and it shows with the passion I have towards Zekrom/Eels, Narukami and the many, many attempts at creating Thunder support. Well here's more of it in the form of what the protagonist of my eventual VRAINS Fanfiction, Estrel Yuuzen (whose name roughly means Star born in a New Storm) will be using at the beginning before she gets an archetype.

All Thunder-Type Monsters you control gain 100 Atk for each of your banished Thunder-Type Monsters. Once per turn, during either player's turn: you can banish 1 Thunder-Type Monster from your hand or graveyard, then target 1 card on the field; destroy it.
Thunder Sprite
Level 4 Light
Thunder/Effect/900/1800
Once per turn: You can Normal Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Light Thunder-Type Monster from your hand or deck, except "Thunder Sprite", as an additional Normal Summon. If this card is banished, you can target one face-up card your opponent controls; destroy it.
Thunder Spirit
Level 4 Light
Thunder/Effect/1400/1000
Once per turn: You can Normal Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Light Thunder-Type Monster from your hand or graveyard, except "Thunder Spirit", as an additional Normal Summon. If this card is banished, you can target one set card your opponent controls, destroy it.
Palace of the Thunder Emperor
Field Spell
All Thunder-Type monsters you control gain 500 Atk and Def. Once per turn, you can activate one of these effects;
*Target 1 Light Thunder-Type Monster in your graveyard; Special Summon it. Banish it during the End Phase.
*Banish 1 Light Thunder-Type monster from your hand or side of the field and if you do: Add one Light Thunder-Type Monster from your deck to your hand.
Thunderbolt Breaker
Trap Card
Tribute 1 Thunder-Type Monster you control; destroy up to 2 cards on the field. If a Thunder-Type monster(s) you control would be destroyed, you can banish this card instead.
The structure deck is built around Light Thunder monsters with the Hunder family paired up with the Stun oriented stand alone monsters as the only Thunder Archetypes out there are Batteryman and Watts and the first one is an OTK strategy and the second one is a retarded stall strategy and I refuse to acknowledge it's existence other than this post. You've got reprints of some really good cards in TKRO, Denko, Raigeki, Space Cyclone and Solemn Strike to go with the new cards that basically let you flood the field with Thunder Monsters while setting up a Master Hyperion on steroids. Hyperion was REALLY good back in the day with his easy summoning condition and DAD-lite removal effect. Great Rai-Jin is basically the same except in exchange for less easier to cheat onto the board he's got the same level of removal power as Master Peace. The structure comes with a strong field spell to aid consistency and an Icarus Attack that has Return of the Dragon Lords' protection effect.
I put alot of thought into this one, trying to strike a balance between power and balance and I think I succeeded for the most part? This definitely looks like something a main protagonist can use to get through the first couple chapters of a story and build upon which is what I also wanted to do.
