First off. I know. No N's. From all the discussions I have had with other players I am starting to agree with them that N hurts more than helps this deck. I keep trying to find room for at least 2 but I simply can't. I'm using Virizion to counter this. It provides good early game power which could be vital, it's anti-Keldeo/Blastoise and Anti-Terrakion. But on the other hand I've considered taking Virizion out because that frees up 8 cards I can use as techs/something else. I haven't play tested it yet. But both sides of the coin makes sense.

Keldeo EX is the main attacker. Mewtwo EX is back up attacker. Blastoise is last resort attack since he is a bench sitter than can actually defend itself. Unless they can OHKO Blastoise he has no fear of being catchered in either due to Keldeo EX's ability.

Cilan helps this deck considerably. Escape Rope can be abused by Keldeo EX. I feel 2 is the perfect amount. Anymore seems over kill.

Cards I've considered but simply can't find room for
+1-3 N (despite how badly it can distrupt this deck. It can help it just as much)
+1-2 Tool Scrapper
+1-3 Eviolite/Giant Cape
+1-2 Super Scoop Up
+1 Max Potion
+1-2 Energy Retrieval.
