So, I'm sure you've all seen the classic second turn win deck featuring the convoluted combo revolving around Garchomp & Giratina GX, Dialga VSTAR, Electrode GX, and Scramble Switch. And I'm also sure that you know that with Live's current Expanded format, you can't play Scramble Switch, making the combo impossible. But it's not! With the power of Bronzong and its Metal Transfer ability, you can easily move the attached energy cards around and execute

But it's not! With the power of Bronzong and its Metal Transfer ability, you can easily move the attached energy cards around and execute the combo as per usual. (Thank you @StallDecksRule for this!) Unfortunatley, Scramble Switch wasn't thd only thing lost from Live's Expanded format. A ton of powerful draw cards also were lost, so I had to make do here. Suggestions are needed to help boost this deck's consistency. Have fun!

Bronzong from Battle Styles is a Stage 1 that can move your energy around (Aurora and Rainbow can be any type so are considered Metal while you are moving them) and would take up less deck space.

As for consistency, maybe Radiant Greninja + Scoop Up Net could be used for discarding energy and drawing?

It's a great combo, I hope this helps you get the 2nd turn wins!

StallDecksRule Thank you so much! I had it stuck in my head that cards like Bronzong were limited to only move basic energies of their type, so I'll definitely be using that one. To make it better, there's a Bronzor that can evolve first turn going second. I'll use the extra space to get Greninja and Scoop Up Net, too.

I also realized that it and Greninja can trigger Cyrus Prism as well in case they're stuck in the active. It's like they really are meant for this lol.

TM Evolution doesn't really have a purpose since the goal is to win T2.

Starmie23 You're planning on winning on your second turn going second, because as far as I know, there's no way to win on your first turn going second. TM evolution just helps get your Pokémon evolved for the big turn 2 where the magic happens.

Maybe play Avery in combo with Cyrus to leave your opponent with one benched Pokemon.

Iplaylostbox (Un)fortunately, Cyrus and Avery always have them down to two benched at the least, because Avery brings them down to 3, and Cyrus has your opponent choose the two benched Pokémon they want to keep, not get rid of, meaning that it doesn't really change anything. It would also require two supporters, but thanks anyways!

Iplaylostbox Don't worry, we've all misread things! Just take a look at my "this deck is real bad lol" deck to see what I mean.
