Magneboar

I play Magnezone/eelektrik. I just think it's awesome and I love it. Check out thedeckout and http://google.com/ to see why it's so good. It kind of like magneboar, but simpler, faster, and (imo) more effective. If also gives you more room for techs.
 
A couple changes made, but are there any techs for specific decks, or something to prevent autoloss?
 
You'll have to do research, test it, see what your meta is, etc. You can only ask so many questions. Expierence is what will improve this deck for you.
 
Bump again.
went 4-0 in Cities, but lost to a Magnezone/Eletrick in top cut. Any suggestions for counters?

How did you lose? Did he KO emboar, outspeed you, or just kill all your resources? Then I can help you.
 
I'd suggest a larger twins emgine and maybe a few rescue energies. You could also run more Catchers and OHKO his eels with reshiram.
 
Maybe, but it can be incredibly useful late game. Anything else I could take out?
 
Second Magneton could go unless you face a lot of trainer lock. I find one Magneton is usually enough, and honestly, Magneton has a huge bullseye on its back in this format. Dropping Magneton is like signing a death warrant against non lock decks. It can come in handy, but it shouldn't be something you rely on. Hence one.

Dropping RDL is a stupid idea btw. You might need the extra prize late game since you fall behind early, and the meta is very prize exchange heavy. It also means that you need to, at most, only lost burn four times, less if you get to use Reshiram at all or Ozone Buster twice. Could use one less energy retrieval since you can Junk Arm it anyway. I would also replace a Reshiram or something with a Cleffa. The early refresh is too useful, especially in Magneboar. Alternatively, you could use Pichu for bench setup.

You callin' my idea stupid! That is just mean! At least say you disagree or your not sure it's the best idea! Well, I won regionals with no RDL and I do not regret it!
 
Forgive me, rough day at work yesterday, but I shouldn't have taken it out on you. To be fair though, Seniors, and especially Juniors (unsure on which division you would have been in 2011) is quite different from masters.

Either way, I do not agree with pitching RDL. If nothing else, there may be times he'll need the 150 damage but can't afford to Lost Burn.

Apology accepted. UNderstood, but it's personal prefeance.
 
I'm not sure I need Cleffa/Pichu. It's OK, but not what I need. What I do need is a counter to Magnezone/Electrick.
Also, I really need the junk arms for swiches and rare candies and I tend to use Reshiram a lot, so the energy lines are a must.
 
I really don't care. These cards are great and I hate Magneel. I will stay with odd decks:)
 
hate to burst your bubble, but in the current format, these cards are not great. Emboar has a retreat cost of {C}{C}{C}{C}. That alone can lose you games. It's your decision, but if you want to win a tournament, magneboar is not a good choice.
EDIT: why do you hate magneel?
