My Friend let me borrow her Durant deck, here's the list, States is Saturday so I need help fixing it up
Pokemon: 7
4 Durant
2 Cobalion(the full art)
1 Rotom(UD)

T/S/S - 41
4 PONT
4 Cheren
3 Colllector
3 Twins
2 FSL

4 Pokegear
4 Eviolite
4 Revive
2 Lost Remover
2 Defender
2 Dual Ball
2 Crushing Hammer
2 Level Ball
1 Switch

2 Skyarrow Bridge

Energy: 12
8 Metal
4 Special Metal

Thanks in advance for helping! I don't know much of the Metagame, I haven't been active in Pokemon for a while. XP
 
-1 Cobalion
-4 Cheren
-1 Pont
- 1 Pokegear
-2 defender
-2 Dual Ball
-3 Metal
- 1 FSL
Either have Switch or Skyarrow not both. (prefer Switch because skyarrow helps your opponent)
+3-4 Junk arm
+2-3 Catcher
+3 Juniper
+1-2 Crushing hammer
+1 Lost remover
+ 1 Alph Litograph (prize one) Not needed but I like it.
+ 1 Collector

I prefer the higher numbers where I put a range
 
Thanks, I have yet to pull any catcher though. I am going to league on Friday but I'm not sure if I can get 3 of them. Is there anything else I could put in or what should I leave in if I don't get the catcher I need?
 
I forgot! take out another metal and if you can't get the catcher for 2 prisms. Rotom can Ko pokemon that are OHKOing your durants like Zekrom. I'd try to have a Blackbelt in here too.

How can Rotom kill them? :p

Like this:
Zekrom: Boltstrike (40 recoil)
Durant or Rotom: Durant-Devour Rotom-Blackbelt prism KO
(If devour) Zekrom: Boltstrike (40 recoil) hehe now I can OHKO durants
Rotom: Plasma Arrow Ko :p
 
^but Zekrom will have 3 energy on him from using bolt strike, so it will do 20*3, which is 60, +40 because of Black Belt to deal 100 damage in one hit KOing Zekrom after he has used bolt strike once
 
After a bit of testing and hearing from a lot of my friends who play Durant, I have learned that Skyarrow Bridge is very little help. I would recommend dropping that first off. Max Crushing Hammer is a must.

-2 Skyarrow Bridge
+2 Crushing Hammer

Another thing that I would like to point out is that N > PONT. You are going to be getting the same amount of cards (most of the time) and it can really mess up your opponent in the later end of the game. I'm a little bit weary of your choice of using Cheren as a Supporter as well. I think that Professor Juniper is going to be more helpful most of the time.

-4 PONT
-4 Cheren
+4 N
+3 Juniper
+1 Black Belt

I added in Black Belt because it can help you OHKO something like Zekrom that is trying to kill all of your Durants. A Black Belted Plasma Arrow can work wonders. To do this, you are going to need to add some Prism Energy.

- 3 Regular Metal Energy
+3 Prism Energy

I'd suggest playing 3 Prisms that way you can have access to them when they are needed. The only con that I can think of that you may see from playing so many Prisms is that the deck is more vulnerable to Lost Remover, but with 3 Twins and a heavy amount of hand refresh, you shouldn't have any problems getting more energy out of your deck. Hope this helps, and good luck at States.
 
-2 Dual Ball
+1 Collector
+1 Lost Remover

Removing DCE is extremely irritating to your opponent. You need at least 3. Everything else of use was said in earlier posts. And Collector > Dual Ball. All you need is a Durant start and a Collector T1, and you're set. Dual Ball is too flippy.
 
hes talking if they werent able to or dont run eviolite and bolted twice then rotom. i would do junipers instead of cheren -2 fsl for super rod (great against mirror) and dual ball to be more consistant first turn. then instead of 2 skyarrow 2 switches because some matches they play skyarrow for u. other than that looks good. maybe remove 1 pokegear and 1 eviolite if u get catchers really like the idea of no junk arms.
 
Cobalion isn't hepful I think. Try cutting cheren for juniper and PONT for drawing. Defender isn't needed and I'd take out a poke gear for another collector and another crushing hammer. Junk arm may help too as well as catcher. Take out 2 dual ball (already collector) for them or vice versa.
