Has anybody ever tried it? been testing a list with 4 potions, 1 max potion and a 3-3 Blissey line. Between Darkrai's ability & 2 float stone you never get caught active.
I've been running computer search as my ace spec, but I've really been considering gold potion since I can get it back with Sableye. Keldeo tech is obvious also. Just thought I'd spread the idea. I remember playing darkrai/blissey/mewtwo/tornadus way back in the fall battleroads last fall. Anyways, the healing is outrageous and you never get 2 hit. that 3rd and sometime 4th turn on a single Darkrai is devastating.
 
There's only one blissey in rotation...

@OP, no, that wouldn't work that well at all. In a format where 3/5 competitive decks (Rayeels, TDK, Blastoise), focus on OHKOs, healing isn;t super viable.
 
Keldeo needs seven energies to OHKO Darkrai, Plasma sets up KO'S with Thundurus, and Rayeels doesn't see much play anymore because it's so easily donked. I think healing is relevant in the format, but only if you're an EX. Even then, I don't think it will make much of a difference unless you can heal at least 90 damage. (That's two heads and a Potion.) If you can do that co sistently, then I think it could be worth playing. Otherwise, you're better off with Hydreigon (or just straight Darkrai).

Its not Keldeo that is scoring OHKOs on EXes; its BKEX now. Absol (you'll need a lot of Blisseys on your bench for healing, no?) and Kyurem can both potentially OHKO with HTL, Virbank, and several Deoxys EX, and even if they don't you probably can't heal enough to avoid a 2HKO. Healing is definitely not relevant in this format.
 
Didn't think of Black Kyurem, but as far as Plasma goes, I've never had them get a OHKO like that. Its not going to be relevant in every situation, but if you can erase one of your opponent's attacks, then you're making your opponent work harder to get KO's. You talk about this format as if every attack is going to be a OHKO, but when you need quite a few things for that to happen, it's very possible to whiff. As far as playability goes, it's basically Darkrai with a Blissey tech. Hammers might be generally more useful and not hurt consistency as much, but to the OP, I say test it and see how it works.
 
Why not cherrim and Blend GPFD?
Although it has much lesser HP, but it confirms your heal of (at least) 20 every turn.

I considered it, but I would rather have blissey for the simple fact that it can take a hit, as well as deal a hit. and if I absolutely needed to, I could finish off an EX or anything after darkrai night spears
