A Mega Houndoom deck modeled after Mega Lucario. Both have similar damage outputs but Lucario's is more consistent. The trade off is a ramp package in Rainbow Cave and Flame Patch and Corner Houndoom. Corner Houndoom allows for great point pathing and the ability to play Cyrus a turn early. Swapped out one Castform from an average Houndoom list for a Heatmor.

Theorycrafting a Mega Houndoom list. Very similar to Emboar, playing Iron Moth as an early game attacker, but you get to play more tech/consistency cards cause you don’t have to play rare candy. Elegant Cape prevents Mega Lucario 1-shots, Non-EX Houndoom is here as an Oricorio Counter, though you could just play Giovanni or Future Booster Energy Capsule on Iron Moth to accomplish the same thing.
