I'm not much one for Fire types so this is my first Fire based deck and I think my Stratagy slipped from what I intended!

Pokemon:
Magcargo x3
Slugma(lv27) x3
L. Flareon x2
Eevee(lv14) x3
Entei(lv38) x1
Entei(lv37) x1
Entei(lv24) x1
Forretress x2
Pineco(lv13) x3
Elekid x2
Cleffa x1
Total:22

Trainers:
Elm x2
Computer error x2
Lucky Stadium x1
Focus Band x2
Energy Stadium x3
Super Energy Retrieval x2
Total:12

Energy:
Fire x20
Metal x3
Recycle x3
Total:26

Just a reminder, this deck can only use cards from Neo sets and up and with Promos!

Ok. Now, Of course my stratagy is to power up Magcargo with Entei and L. Flareon but they can still take care of themselves! On a good turn, I can attack a Fire to Eevee, flip heads and use Warm up to start powering up my Benched Magcargo! Of course, Using Holo-Entei's Power, I can fully power him up on first turn!

I threw in Elekid and Pineco to tech against water types but then I realized Forretress can add protection against Shifting Pokemon.

My Energy is abit limited but like I said I don't know what is a good amount because I don't use fire decks. The Recycle for free retreating and or course the Metal is for Forretress!

My real problem is the trainers. Being limited only to Neos and Promos, My Trainers are a bit shallow so I focused on cards to help get energies out and on my Pokemon. I'm also not sure if Fire decks work well with many Trainser so I tried to keep their number small!
I also Don't have any Healing Trainers nor am I sure I even need them!

What do you guys think?

Pokemon:(22)
Magcargo x4
Slugma(rev) x4
Entei(holo)(Rev) x4
Elekid x1
Eevee(promo) x3
Light Flareon x2
Cleffa x4

Trainers:(18)
Elm x4
Focus Band x4
Energy Stadium x3
Time Capsule x2
Pokemon Breeder Fields x3
Healing Powder x2

Energy:(20)
Fire x20

Needed more speed, and dark forretress jut didnt fit. Also the revalations Entei(holo) is just the better of the entei's. Use him to put more fire on your magcargo's/slugma's. Light Flareon also does do a nice job of putting energy on them as well. Healing Powder is one of the only defenses against Dark Gengar in this format...hope it helps.

Questions? AIM me.

You're right, my version is a little slow and all but I just wanted to try something completely different then the Typical Magcargo deck.

Also, I Only have 1 of each Entei so That's why I put in Computer Error. It does helps me get more energies like Entei does but also helps my Opponent too! It also doesn't Attach them either but at lease I don't have to worry about discarding needed cards!

Also, I meant (M) Forretress, not Dark Forretress! Of course I wouldn't use D. Forretress with out Grass and Darkness energies! Or even a Rocket's Hideout for that matter!

Besides! This is something that not many people would expect and that gives an edge!
