Personally I've never found Tyrant gauge heavy enough to require Rise & Fall at all, Forbolka and Dragpn Emperor Legend is enough gauge engine and the life cost can affect your survival, although he uses Evil Crusher.

And I agree Dragon Thunder can be better than expected, although a bit match reliant so I prefer it as sideboard.
