Deck Primer

Cinderace ex seems like it was BUILT for Expanded, with it hitting the magic 280 damage to counter most relevant threats, and having a 180-damage bench snipe which OHKO's the trifecta of draw support this format thrives on. All of that, except for one teensy little issue: it's a stage 2, and that SUCKS. Consistency is everything in Expanded, so either having to rely on Rare Candy or a niche engine like Bunnelby TM: Evo, you find yourself pressed for fast, consistent options.

Cinderace ex seems like it was BUILT for Expanded, with it hitting the magic 280 damage to counter most relevant threats, and having a 180-damage bench snipe which OHKO's the trifecta of draw support this format thrives on. All of that, except for one teensy little issue: it's a stage 2, and that SUCKS. Consistency is everything in Expanded, so either having to rely on Rare Candy or a niche engine like Bunnelby TM: Evo, you find yourself pressed for fast, consistent options.

So why not double down on awful stage 2 engines! The main attacker requires three different energy types which also stings, so I found the best option to be combining Colossal, who can accelerate two of the three types on its own with a Battle Compressor engine. Double Colourless Energy is there as a cheeky way to power up Fkare Strike faster, as well as give Guzma & Hala a viable target for its search effect.

This is still a very rough draft, so please provide me with improvements!
