* '''[[Celebi (Triumphant 92)|Celebi Prime]]''' - Celebi Prime provided the deck's main Energy acceleration via its ''Forest Breath'' {{TCG|Poké-Power}}. If Celebi Prime was active, ''Forest Breath'' allowed for the attachment of one {{e|Grass}} Energy card from the player's hand to one of his or her Pokémon, in addition to the typical Energy attachment for the turn. Since Celebi Prime had a retreat cost of {{e}}, it could retreat for free with {{TCG|Skyarrow Bridge}} in play. By attaching one Energy card via ''Forest Breath'' and one Energy from the hand, and subsequently retreating or {{TCG|Switch}}ing Celebi Prime, CMT could deal as much as {{tt|80 damage|via Tornadus's Hurricane}} turn one. | * '''[[Celebi (Triumphant 92)|Celebi Prime]]''' - Celebi Prime provided the deck's main Energy acceleration via its ''Forest Breath'' {{TCG|Poké-Power}}.

* '''{{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Mewtwo-EX|54}}''' - Mewtwo-EX, along with Tornadus, was one of CMT's main attackers. Although it gave up two prizes when knocked out and was vulnerable to an opponent's Mewtwo-EX, its ''X-Ball'' attack could be charged with only one {{TCG|Double Colorless Energy}} and was capable of doing more damage than ''Hurricane''. As the aforementioned {{TCG|ZekEels}} was a major archetype at the time, Mewtwo-EX was critical to knocking out {{TCG|Tynamo}} early even without ''Forest Breath''. | * '''{{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Mewtwo-EX|54}}''' - Mewtwo-EX, along with Tornadus, was one of CMT's main attackers.

* '''{{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Terrakion|73}}''' - After the release of the {{TCG|Dark Explorers}} expansion in May 2012, CMT needed a way to deal with {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Darkrai-EX|63}}. Darkrai-EX resisted {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Mewtwo-EX|54}} and was capable of knocking out any Pokémon in the deck in two attacks. As its ''Night Spear'' attack also hit a benched Pokémon for 30 damage (in addition to the 90 it dealt to the Defending Pokémon), Darkrai-EX could knock out a benched [[Celebi (Triumphant 92)|Celebi Prime]] in two attacks. Although the addition of Terrakion, along with {{TCG|Fighting Energy}} to power its attacks, somewhat decreased CMT's consistency, it greatly improved the deck's matchup against {{TCG|Darkrai/Terrakion}}, {{TCG|DMT}}, and other Darkrai-EX-based archetypes. | * '''{{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Terrakion|73}}''' - After the release of the {{TCG|Dark Explorers}} expansion in May 2012, CMT needed a way to deal with {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Darkrai-EX|63}}.

* '''{{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Tornadus-EX|90}}''' - Tornadus-EX effectively took the place of {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Tornadus|89}} from {{TCG|Emerging Powers}} upon the release of the Dark Explorers. Builds utilizing Tornadus-EX tended to run a higher count of {{TCG|Skyarrow Bridge}} than those that did not. Although Tornadus-EX was a two-prize liability against ZekEels and other {{TCG|Lightning}}-type decks, it was more powerful than the Emerging Powers Tornadus and gave CMT an enhanced ability to donk. | * '''{{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Tornadus-EX|90}}''' - Tornadus-EX effectively took the place of {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Tornadus|89}} from {{TCG|Emerging Powers}} upon the release of the Dark Explorers.
