Mew ex ×1 Uxie ×2 Mesprit ×2 Azelf ×2
Mythical Slab ×2 Pokemon Communication ×2 Giant Cape ×2 Dawn ×1
X Speed ×2 Poke Ball ×2 Professor's Research ×2
Energy Used
Psychic Icon

Mesprit can be a threatening and effective finisher once Uxie and Azelf are both in the Bench. While it is being set up, Uxie can be used for chip damage and Energy acceleration.

Alternatively, Mew ex can be used as a the early game attacker, as it also serves as an effective wall.

Mesprit Deck Strategy Guide

Assemble the Lake Trio

Mesprit's Supreme Blast requires that you have Uxie and Azelf on the Bench. This makes it so your objective during the match is to find these Pokemon and attach Energy to exactly the ones you need to attack with. This requires careful planning and prediction.

Faster Setup and Offense

Decks that can easily take out the Lake Trio are difficult to go up against. Mesprit, Azelf, and Uxie all need multiple turns and conditions to be effective. This means it may struggle against quicker and more aggressive decks.
