I've been really intrigued by Bronzong's many uses. The new Bronzong, supposedly coming out in StormFront, has a lot of great potential. I wanted to come up with something that would take advantage of all his talents....and I found it.

Pokemon 19

3 Bronzor SF
3 Bronzong SF
1 Bronzong MD
4 Kyogre LA

2 Claydol GE

Bronzor LV.14 – Psychic – HP60
Basic Pokemon

[P] Gyro Swap: Place a number of damage counters on the Defending Pokemon equal to the Defending Pokemon’s retreat cost.
[C][C] Confusion: 20 damage. Flip a coin, if heads the Defending Pokemon is now Paralyzed.

Weakness: Psychic (+10)
Resistance: Fire (-20)
Retreat: 2


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bronzong LV.46 – Psychic – HP90
Stage 1 – Evolves from Bronzor

Poke-Power: Cycler
You can use this Power once during your turn. Choose 1 card from your hand and return it to your deck. Then, search your deck for up to 2 Basic Energy cards, show them to your opponent, and put them in your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward. This Power can’t be used if this Pokemon is affected by a Special Condition.

[P][C] Strange Revolution: 20 damage. If you and your opponent have the same number of cards in your hands, this attack does an additional 40 damage and the Defending Pokemon is now Confused.
[P][C][C] Heavy Potential: Place a number of damage counters on each of your opponent’s Pokemon equal to the Pokemon’s retreat cost.

Weakness: Psychic (+20)
Resistance: Fire (-20)
Retreat: 3

Kyogre Start is preferable here. Get up a Cycle Bronzong and start grabbing and attaching Energy, spreading like mad. Ariados top up retreat costs and add to Zong's spread. MD Zong for even more spreading action. Claydol for deck cycling.
 
cool idea, maybe try a few wagers so the oppoenent hand can either lose (and with your spreading, the opponent's claydol will probably be ko'd) or win and you use your claydol and draw to 6, so you could use bronzong's frst attack (if need be). Also, maybe 2 or so devoluters could be devastating.
 
I would run Miasma Valley over Dawn Stadium, even if it does hurt your Baltoys/Kyogres when you bench them. You could avoid that anyway by playing it after you'd gotten your non-Psychic/Grass stuff benched. The reason I recommend it is because it obviously helps get damage on to their side of the field. Dawn Stadium won't be of much use to you in my opinion if you plan on attacking primarily with Bronzong.

I would also find a way to fit 4 Pokeblower in here because with Ariados and Bronzong you could potentially create a two or three turn lock by bringing something active that doesn't want to be there as you begin your Heavy Potential madness. Heatran lv. X is a good example of a card like that. If you had just one of your Ariados benched and you were able to get it active, it would take 3 turns to KO it while you simultaneously got KOs on their Claydol (s) in addition to wracking up respectable to serious damage on their Magmortar or Blaziken or whatever. Now that I think about it, Claydol would take 3 turns to KO as well and so it would be a great target too (and a lot more common obviously). Perhaps you could drop the Energy Pickup for 3 out of the 4 Pokeblower I'm recommending, if you go that route.

Oh and the Wager suggestion is good although if they release the Giratina with the disruptive Power in Stormfront I would consider teching one of those in instead for after you've taken out their draw support, whether it's Claydol or that new Dusknoir. Taking them down to 4 cards guaranteed is nasty and of course you could recover easily from being brought down yourself with your own Claydol. On top of that, Giratina is searchable whereas Wager is something you'd have to draw and hold on to until the right time.
