The deck aimed to open with [[Celebi (Triumphant 92)|Celebi Prime]]. Ideally, the CMT player would be able to attack as early as turn one or turn two with either {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Tornadus|89}} or {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Mewtwo-EX|54}}. This was possible through the energy acceleration Celebi Prime's ''Forest Breath'' provided, combined with {{TCG|Double Colorless Energy}} to fulfill the energy requirements for Tornadus's ''Hurricane'' or Mewtwo-EX's ''X-Ball''. To get Celebi Prime out of the active position and begin attacking, the deck utilized either {{TCG|Switch}} or {{TCG|Skyarrow Bridge}} depending on availability. In the event that the CMT player found him- or herself with a dead hand at some point, {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Smeargle|8}}'s ''Portrait'' {{TCG|Poké-Power}} often provided an out. Like Celebi Prime, Smeargle worked well with Switch and Skyarrow Bridge, as the player could often avoid discarding to retreat after a ''Portrait''. | |||
CMT was most potent early in the game. Many other archetypes of its time, such as {{TCG|Zeel}} and {{TCG|Quad Terrakion}}, were incapable of doing much damage the first few turns, so CMT thrived on outspeeding the opponent. After getting a Tornadus or Mewtwo-EX into the active position, the deck focused on taking easy knockouts off the opponent's weak {{TCG|Basic Pokémon|Basics}} and support Pokémon. {{TCG|Pokémon Catcher}} '''continue here''' | |||

Builds utilizing Tornadus-EX tended to run a higher count of {{TCG|Skyarrow Bridge}} than those that did not. | ||
