Item
Look at the top 7 cards of your deck. You may choose up to 2 in any combination of Grass Pokémon and Basic [G] Energy cards you find there, reveal them, and put them into your hand. Then, shuffle the other cards back into your deck.
You may play as many Item cards as you like during your turn.
Strategy:
Teal Mask Ogerpon ex will be the main source of draw power in this deck, with Hisuian Lilligant VSTAR and quite a few Trainers being geared towards grabbing as much Grass Energy as possible to set up Teal Mask Ogerpon ex's Teal Dance Ability. Ogre's Mask will allow Ogerpon to switch into another of its forms to counter other threats, such as using Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon ex's Cornerstone Stance Ability to act as a wall against Pokemon that have Abilities and Wellspring Ogerpon ex's Torrential Pump attack to snipe your opponent's Bench. Luminous Energy will allow for smoother transitions between forms.
Notes:
Here's my theory on how Ogerpon ex could work, but I won't pretend like I've gotten it all figured out. The gimmick of Ogre's Mask does give Ogerpon a very interesting mechanic, but it being a little on the weird side does make me worry for how it will play out in practice. As for the ACE SPEC, I ended up going with Prime Catcher because it's generally a very useful card, but I've also considered the idea of Scoop-Up Cyclone, Unfair Stamp, and Legacy Energy. I'm more partial to Unfair Stamp and Legacy Energy between those three, though, given Ogerpon's frailty as a Basic Pokemon ex. But Scoop-Up Cyclone could potentially allow you to rescue a wounded Ogerpon or get Lumineon back into hand so you can use its Ability again. But again, this is all just theorization. Any critiques and suggestions would be much appreciated! I really look forward to building Ogerpon when Twilight Masquerade comes out!
