What you are missing that the Team Magma decks have is a corresponding card to TM Zangoose -- TM Zangoose can help get other Pokemon out and onto your bench. Is the TA Seviper able to fill that position - I don't have the text available right now. Barring that, maybe add some Dunsparce (you know which one) in hopes of filling your bench quickly. The other problem with the TA deck is that Lanturn only pulls Lightning energy, and that has to be in your hand, not the discard pile. Severly limiting compared to TM Camerupt. You will need a lot more Lightning energy in your deck to make sure you have at least one extra lightning energy in your hand to attach using Lanturns poke-power.

the biggest problem that a TA deck faces is that without crystal shard you have no response to a Rayquazza player.

you are not limited to lightning energy for Lanturn's power.

Dunsparce doesn't belong in a TA deck.

You don't have a big cleaner.

TV Reporter doesn't work as well in a TA deck as in a TM one. Pick a different draw card.( hint one that doesn't discard!)

Only two ARCHIE's its one of the best cards in TA.

I stand corrected on the TA Lanturn, I didn't have one infront of me at that moment. I agree that a Dunspace doesn't "belong" in a TA deck. I just dug up the text for TA Seviper, and it does have a "Call for Family" attack -- so get three of those as fast as you can! That will help early game in setting up your bench. But, if you lack the Seviper ....

As for heavy hitters, the TA Kyogre is about the same as the TM Groudon -- 50 + 20 if a certain condition is met. For TM Groudon, it's the defender already having 20 damage, for TA Kyogre it's the defender being affected by a special condition (poison, sleep, confusion etc.) so I don't see much difference there. In either event, the deck is about getting energy in play ASAP to cream your opponent! For this deck, however, you will need something to pull energy back out of the discard pile -- I recommend 2 Energy Recycle System.

And NoPoke is absolutely right about the Archies -- get some more if you can.
