Thermite can be made with just magnesium , the reduction metal has to be more reactive than the metal in the oxide so with magnesium it would be more energetic .
Both iron oxide and copper oxide thermite will work with magnesium but they will happen much faster .
My favourite thermite is tin dioxide based , with a sand mould I made a nice amount of tin from it once
