Strategies:
You wanna start off with a Talonflame in your active or a regular Yveltal w/ an Ultra Ball in your hand,
With Talonflame, the first priority is to get out Darkrai 63/108 for the retreat aid, then Yveltal EX and use Yveltals Oblivion Wing to charge up Yveltal EX and attack.

Another way to start is with a Yveltal in the active and a Darkrai 74/122 w/ a Malamar EX. Charge up Darkrai and then use Malamar's ability, then attack with Darkrai's Dark Head attack or Dark Pulse if Malamar has lots of energy on it.

If Talonflame is really vital to the success of your deck, then you really want 4. Currently he will only show up in about 22% of your starting hands. Accounting for mulligans you will only see him about 25% of the time. Running 4 would up the chances of starting with Talonflame to 45%. if Talonflame isn't that important then I would just remove him altogether and get consistency cards that arent dead if they aren't in your starting hand (so Trainer's Mail or Shaymin or more draw supporters like Colress).
