For a while, the Kyurem released in Shrouded Fable was enough to scare even the most hardeneed Lost Box players away. However, that seems to have all changed now, and Lost Box is showing up in droves at the competitive scene.

Today it has a more powerful lineup of attackers than ever, bolstered by the insanely powerful Pikachu ex. With this Pikachu you don’t need to worry about confusing hacks to get its insane 300 damage attack off. Simply hit seven cards in your Lost Zone and you can start Mirage Gating energy onto your Pikachu with ease.

Quickly set up your board with Buddy-Buddy Poffin and Nest Ball.

Comfey is your draw engine – play Comfey right away to start drawing extra cards and putting additional cards into the Lost Zone.

Use your many switch cards to use as many Comfey “Flower Selecting” abilities as possible in a turn. 

Colress’s Experiment is the card you’re going to want to play ASAP as it allows you to draw five and put two in the Lost Zone. This is going to come in handy later when you need to take advantage of attacks like Lost Mine or Spit Innocently. 

Accelerate energies with Mirage Gate onto your various toolbox attackers.

Look for easy potshots you can take late game with Radiant Greninja and strategic damage counter placements with Sableye.

Take out high HP Pokemon with Pikachu ex while benefiting from its high survival odds via Resolute Heart.

Colress’s Experiment is the key card to any deck that leverages the Lost Zone Engine. It is your primary draw supporter, adds vital resources to your hand when you need them, and adds two cards to your Lost Zone with each play.

Comfey is one of the best draw support Pokemon in the game right now. Beyond adding new cards to your hand, of course, it also helps quickly bulk up your Lost Zone numbers thanks to the indispensable Flower Selecting ability. 

Radiant Greninja doubles as an excellent draw support Pokemon and sharpshooter, taking out two of your opponent’s Pokemon with Moonlight Shuriken. 

While Lost Zone Box boasts a variety of main attackers, Sableye is your most effective. Using Lost Mine, you can strategically place damage counters wherever you wish – doing enough damage to theoretically win you an entire game in one attack!

Last but not least, Mirage Gate is one of the strongest cards in this deck, and really what makes the whole thing. Using it, you can power up your powerful Pokemon like Terapagos ex, Pikachu ex, and even Iron Thorns depending on the situation.

Alongside the core cards that make Lost Zone Box great like Cramorant, Comfey, and Sableye, part of what’s made Lost Zone box strong from the start is the fact that you can use it to power up just about any attacker you want with relative ease. 

While the attackers that are paired with Lost Zone’s powerful engine have changed through the years, they’ve usually included some of the most powerful basic attackers in the game. Today, that means Terapagos ex, Pikachu ex, Ursaluna ex, Iron Thorns ex.

Pikachu ex is one heck of a basic Pokemon. It has the strongest base attack in the game at 300 damage out the door. The only problem? It requires three different energy to get off. The thing is, that’s not exactly an issue for Lost Box. Pop a Mirage gate and you are good to go. 

As if the attack damage weren’t enough, Resolute Heart is a pretty insane ability – one that prevents Pikachu ex from being taken out in a single shot. That’s pretty crazy! 

While the main Terapagos ex decks right now focus on using only Unified Beatdown, this deck has the advantage of being able to use the very powerful Crown Opal attack, keeping Terapagos ex safe against opposing basic Pokemon. That’s a pretty effective ability in a meta with the likes of Raging Bolt ex running wild out there.

I really like playing Ursaluna in Lost Zone decks partly because if you run out of energy (which happens) you can stack your deck pretty well with Ursaluna ex. One play I like to do is thin my deck out enough at the end of the road to pull up a Ursaluna ex and take a strategic two-prize KO with it. 

The final attacker this deck is leveraging is Iron Thorns ex. I think this is a pretty solid play as you can pretty severely shut down your opponent’s momentum with its Initialization ability. Volt Cyclone can also be an effective ay to move energies onto other attackers on the bench. Use it as long as helpful and then promote the next best attacker.

Lost Zone works really, really well against some decks, and pretty poorly against others. If your strategy relies on having a bunch of low HP Pokemon on your bench (the way Charizard ex does), then it can be pretty tough to win against Lost Zone Box. On the other hand, if your strategy relies solely on high HP Pokemon, it can be pretty hard for Lost Zone Box to beat you.
