Zapdos is definitely a game changer with his special ability to paralyze your opponents ability to use spell or trap cards for 2 whole turns as soon as he hits the field ! He also has a second ability to increase his attack power by sacrifices Thunder allies from your hand.

Lore correction:

 

When this card is Tribute Summoned: Your opponent cannot activate Spell/Trap cards until his/her their 2nd End Phase after this effect's resolution. Once per turn: You can banish any number of Thunder-Type monsters from your hand; increase this card gains ATK by 700 ATK for each monster banished this way by this cards effect.

 

The first effect is what people would play Zapdos for, since the ATK boost won't exactly be worth the trade-off in most people's eyes unless they're pushing for damage. I would make it a Quick Effect, but seeing that it's a permanent buff, the current effect would still be fine.

Thanks for those corrections and I kinda went ham on its second effect it wasn't supposed to be perm effect only until the end phase

In that case, here's how it's done.

 

When this card is Tribute Summoned: Your opponent cannot activate Spell/Trap cards until his/her their 2nd End Phase after this effect's resolution. Once per turn: You can banish any number of Thunder-Type monsters from your hand; until the End Phase, increase this card gains ATK by 700 ATK for each monster banished this way by this cards effect.

The underlined portion is my further amendment.

 

Since it's a temporary boost, I can suggest making the second effect a Quick Effect by changing its condition to "Once per turn, during either player's turn:" This adds a nice surprise element and lets one use the effect in both offensive and defensive situations to justify its cost.
