Anti TDK Deck

Hi my name is lanman99 and I am trying to design a deck to have at least a 9/10 win ratio against TDK. Since I do not have or have the means to get the cards to make this deck and am not allowed to proxy at my league anymore I am hoping that someone who has these cards and is willing to playtest the deck will see this post. Right now the list I have come up with is

Pokemon: 11

2 Landorus EX
2 Cobalion EX
1 Terrakion NVI
3 Trubbish NVI
3 Garbodor DRX

Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums: 37

3 N
3 Professor Juniper
2 Colress
4 Skyla
4 Pokemon Catcher
4 Hypnotoxic Laser
4 Heavy Ball
2 Ultra Ball
1 Computer Search
2 Energy Switch
4 Float Stone
4 Rescue Scarf

Energy: 12

4 Metal
4 Fighting
4 Prism

This list is just a theory so any constructive criticism or ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks!:D
 
coballion ex's second attack doesnt apply weakness, so you might want to put one noble victories coballion in there for kyurem. Also, you have no energy acceleration, so i would play a terrakion ex or two, and you could you blend instead of prism, or a combination of the two, but it doesnt really matter, but other wise it seems like a pretty good deck.

Thanks. I will consider that but i was just using Cobalion EX for getting rid of energies.
 
This deck has extremely low consistency, seeing how everything is smashed together. I bet a properly built Plasma deck could still beat this deck. If you want to get rid of energies I recommend you use Hammertime decks with Darkrai. Otherwise, you'd be better off with PlasmaKlang against Plasma.

If you REALLY want to make a deck countering Plasma, I recommend a rogue with Garbodor+Sableye+Hammers+Life Dew+Revive+Lasers which could really annoy Plasma and maybe poison to death the deck too.

EDIT: Ignore this post. Sorry for the rudeness, I've never seen this deck before and it looks like random anti-Plasma cards put together on the first look.

well what do you recommend to make the deck more consistent other than making a different one?

What are you talking about? Lando/Cobalion/Garbo is a huge deck at the moment!
I played this deck for a while at league not so long ago and it did extremely well. I'd say Scramble Switch is a better Ace Spec for this, hitting off the 150s with Landorus won me several games.
Also, maaaaybe a 2-2 Garbo line? That's how I played mine and I never had a problem, but it's all down to preference. :) Also Bouffalant works really nicely in this deck, and plenty of Hammers.
 
^ Yeah, it is. Landobailior is a really good deck right now, and Cobailion EX is a must to take down Plasma. By discarding their energies, especially the ones on Kyurem, that delay's them quite a lot and puts a lot of damage on the board. It's not like they have much they can do to stop your Garbodor, as Catcher + Kyurem is the only thing in the deck that can OHKO a Garbodor, save a LaserBank Thunderous Noise, which is easily countered by Lando.

You're being quite negative here. That may not be your actual angle and you may be just trying to help, so I'll let this slide once, but next time, if all you have to say about the deck is negative and no constructive criticism to make the list in question better, and I'm being quite frank here, don't post at all.

-1 Cobalion NVI
-1 Garbodor
+2 Terrakion NV (no.73)

My opinion is that your pull rate for Trubbish/Garbodor is to high.Use your Trubbish as a pawn,so that Terrakion NV can kick back 30+60 damage.Then,add the 3rd energy on your next turn.Witch Terrakion's second attack will do 90 damage.
If you don't want to run Terrakion from Noble Victories, then just add +2 Terrakion-EX

Hope i helped.
 
Thanks guys that really helped me. I guess all I have to do now is try and get the cards for the list and make it. I will report back on it's performance if I can complete the deck.
 
I really like your deck list but I would take out 1 Skyla and add 1 Virbank City Gym. Just encase your opponent doesn't play it.
 
I think the tool line should include Exp Share. Conserving energy on the field is important for decks that lack energy acceleration. You can bench Terrakion with just an Exp Share and be able to Retaliate next turn easily. Plus it's a tool for Garbotoxin. Try taking out a Float Stone and a Rescue Scarf. I'd also take out a Heavy Ball or two for a fourth N and Juniper. It can't get your Trubbish and Cobalions, so I don't think it warrants a four-of.
