Here I am trying to harness the power of Penguins for my friend. I like this version over something with Manaphy and Octillery for two main reasons.
1) Manaphy is a two-prize bench sitter. I don't want my opponent sniping it with a Guzma.
2) Octillery is nice, but any two cards, if Mallow/Zoroark GX is any indication, is an awesome thing.
2.5) I don't have any octillery, and neither does my friend :p

Now what do y'all think of this version? Better or Worse than Octillery/Manaphy engine?
