Surprising how strong and balanced this deck is. You have huge damage basically available everywhere on the board. The biggest issue lightning has in the high HP and Magnezone provides that sustain and finish. Along with using the ton’s to charge up and then E.Switch when needed to a pika for huge damage output. Equally you have non EX Magnezone to sort out Ori but also with the coin flip chance of nothing. This is definitely something worth testing and building on.

I really want to make Lugia Ex work but I was tired of the Ho-oh line. It tried to mix it up with magneton and Milotic ex to keep generating lightning and water energy, while only running fire energy. Had some success with it and it’s decently consistent. If you play it right, you geht 2-3 attacks on Lugia easily. Even if you don’t find the right energy or juggler you could switch in with milotic ex for decent damage and putting the opponent to sleep. Feel free to try it out!

MagCorio with Miraidon is a solid list, and one I highlighted in today's article. That being said, I cannot believe how Master Plan hasn't caught on yet in Magnezone decks. Double confuse means a 25% chance to get through to you. Master Plan also acts as a pseudo-clear for sleep and paralyze for yourself, as hitting tails on your flip of the card overrides both for confuse for your active, which I'd prefer over the other options. Try it out and let me know what you think on Discord!
