Isn't 12 a little much for a darkrai deck in terms of energy? I feel like a lot of darkrai decks run about 9 energy and it seems to be enough. Also you may want to consider super rod. Being able to abuse super rod over and over to prevent yourself from decking out.

Maybe also consider max potion since you can junk hunt for 2 dark patches and get darkrai up and running again in 1 turn if you happen to have a dark energy in hand.

Actually 12 energy is fine, if you are trying to hit consistent turn 2 night spear. 9-12 energy is normal in darkrai, with every number inbetween I have known people to play 8 and then the same person at the next tournament played 14 and still top seeded after swiss both weeks.

Idk if i were me i would drop a few energy just to fit in crushing hammers.

Crushing Hammer is just too risky. It requires a flip to even work. Having the extra energy is more consistent than flippy cards.
