Hello!! And welcome back destruktors!!! Cancer, Diabetes, whatever you may call it, this deck,is the most hyped deck for 2017, next to Mega Mewtwo. But, the only reason I can see people playing this deck is because it beats- oh wait, I probably shouldn't be saying the matchups just yet,this deck has a lot of counters in this meta right now, but can it pull through? We'll just have to wait and see. The only plus side I see , I guess it looks cool? Whatever, for now.

This is good too! It's to beat the threats of Jolteon-EX, Glaceon-EX, and Regice, as they prevent your Mega Ray from attacking (except Jolteon-EX), until you play a Pokemon Ranger, (which you don't) but playing Metal Energy and Magearna-EX, means Cobalion is definitely a plus. A very much overlooked card for Mega Ray, but I think it can be seen as prominent. The more Prize Cards your opposition takes, the more damage this baby does!! BUT!! Would you believe, there is another, lesser known variant of Mega Rayquaza, and I would like to present to you: "THE DARK SIDE OF MEGA RAYQUAZA!!!!"

This deck was the very first idea for Mega Ray as soon as it came out, and it did well, and it can still do well in this format! In fact, this deck has better matchups than most others, as it copes Mega Rays weakness, and incorporates it into an attacker. It also beats the mirror match, and Yanmega, and adds a non-EX attacker to the deck, not an EX supporter as a sitting duck that'll give your opponent 2 easy prizes, however having a non-EX that hits 160 easily, and is a non-EX? It helps Mega Ray a lot. ONE MORE!! C'MON GUYS!! PULL THROUGH!!!!!!!! Here! Heal up with some Retreat Aids!! GET BACK IN THERE SOLDIER!! WHOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

The second version of Mega Rayquaza, and was the first archetype to put in a Pokemon that supports, and isn't an EX, or viability. AND THAT's A RAP!! I shouldn't have to go Over every card, as they are all pretty good, and 'famous' I guess I could say. So I guess we have to go-

STRAIGHT INTO THE MATCHUPS!! BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE HAVE:

Mega Rayquaza V Quad Zoroark

Mega Rayquaza V Volcanion

You sweep their entire team, and if you're playing Manaphy-EX, you can attack with Manaphy-EX if you liked, but knock-out their Volcanion-EX with Mega Rayquaza-EX as much as you can, as them attacking with a Volcanion-EX and their abilities are the only ways they can win.

Volcainon 80%

Mega Rayquaza V Vespiquen

Mega Rayquaza V Carbink

Mega Rayquaza V Xerneas (Both)

Mega Rayquaza V Mega Scizor

Parallel City, and Mega Scizor gets rid of DCE's. But the only win condition, is you OHKO them, therefore they can't power up a second attacker soon enough, and then you kill the metal coated bug!!

Mega Scizor: 55%

Mega Rayquaza V Dark-Box

Mega Rayquaza V Mega Mewtwo

Well, that has to be the longest, most messy, most decks, most cards, most matchups in any of my posts before. NO!! Seriously!!! Check them out!! I DARE YOU!!!!!! Also, comment down below any other deck suggestions you have for me, I would absolutely loooooove to hear them!!!! Well, until next time, seee yaaa!!!!!
