I am not sure how to run a Magma deck so give me your thoughts:

4 Team Magma's Groudon
4 Team Magma's Zangoose
3 Team Magma's Claydol
2 Team Magma's Baltoy
2 Team Magma's Camerupt
1 Team Magma's Numel

6 Fighting Energy
4 Darkness Energy
4 Magma Energy
2 Rainbow Energy
1 Psychic Energy

4 Team Magma Ball
3 Team Magma Conspirator
3 Stephen's Advice
3 TV Reporter
3 Copycat
2 VS Seeker
2 Mr. Briney's Compassion
2 Maxie
2 Magnetic Storm
1 Switch
1 Warp Point
1 Strength Charm

I know I am running it without reversals, but it has worked out so far. I need to find room for three reversals though, I guess. Any suggestions?
 
you really need 3 Claydol to get the deck to run smoothly

this is how i would run it
- 1 TM ball
- 1 TM conspirator
- 1 VS Seeker
- 1 Strength charm ( Darkness does the same)
+ 1 Fire trust me, this REALLY comes in handy with Camerupt
+ 3 Reversals
 
Here's my version:(All PKMN are Magma)

PKMN Total:18
4 Groudon
4 Zangoose
3 Baltoy(Double Spin)
3 Claydol(Switch)
2 Camerupt
2 Numel

Energy Total:16
4 Fighting Energy
4 Magma Energy
4 Darkness Energy
2 Psychic
2 Fire

Trainers:26
4 Magma Ball
4 TV Reporter
3 Steven's Advice
3 Pokemon Reversal
3 Briney's Compassion
3 Strength Charm
3 Desert Ruins
2 Team Magma's Conspirator
1 Pokemon Retrieval

This gives your deck a major boost to speed. I took Rainbow out because you really don't need it, plus it hurts you. The game (at least, how I've noticed) has turned into more of a OTK format, so you can't afford to damage your own Pokemon with anything. Desert Ruins helps you a bit more, helping out a lot against Blaze and ZapTurnDos. I dropped a majority of your Trainer Selection in favor of speed, because as long as this deck gets off the ground by turn 2-3, you're in a VERY decent shape.
