Strategy
This is a Dark-Tanks Deck. Capable of getting hard hit, then get fresh clean by next turn. The idea is to keep all energy in play. Stadium provides both counter and protection from anti-meta (Anti-air decks, Garbo-land, Grass and so) Blend on Hydreigon for the Blastoise-B/Kyurem match or future pyroar. Away from that works on the DarkYvel basics + Mewtwo tech for other mewtwos.

The lack of a switch system rather than Keldeo/Darkrai is still risky, also no room for Catcher/Lyzzard (lol) yet... Opinions so far?

UPDATE: Virizion does MARVELS here!, it avoids poison-KO wich began to hurt the helloutta me when the aim was to hold 10 HP to max potion them, and with 4 blends around just switching them is a way better shield (keldeo is awesome and so, but since there's already no retreat cost, breaking status conditions will never be as good as not having them at all)

I used to run this deck before XY came out and I had a 3-1-3 Hydregion line but adding Yveltal EX makes it harder to squeeze them into there. This would be my mods to the deck.

-1 Darkrai EX
-2 Yveltal
-1 Mewtwo EX
-1 Keldeo EX
-2 DCE
-1 Energy Retreival
-1 Computer Search

+1 Sableye
+1 Absol
+1 Virizion EX
+1 Dark Patch
+1 Dowsing Machine
+2 Pokemon Catcher
+2 Blend GFPD

Also if you can get them, -2 Shadow Circle / +2 Tropical Beach.

Virizion EX for the status heal, Sableye to get back your items, less Yveltal and more Dark Patches for faster and less dependent energy acceleration, Absol for anti-EX Pokemon, and Dowsing Machine is practically a preference. Energy Retrieval isn't necessary if you recycle your Dark Patches and your DCEs are only dependent on Yveltal EX and can't be moved around if you try to use your Max Potions. Taking those cards out, I just made room for your Catchers.

^ already taking notes... I tought running sableye was a little risky due to low HP and no hammers, but yet may work with verdant-shield for the easy lasser ko... also, pros and cons, keldeo needs nothing but a dark on him to break status, but leaves unprotected for those +3 virbank damage, virizion does this well, but with only 2 (early list) blend it turned situational.

Doubles are too versitle also for the strikers, specialy when yveltal ex 2nd attack Can move it (I use that one against chandelure ex to ohko him, wich also non-ex yveltal can do for the same cost). I'll sure test the 4 blend - 2 double virizion and see how it works (specially against hammers).

one thing `... 2 Yveltal, over 1-1 Absol, yveltal itself counters every non-ex anti-ex but klinklang, plus can hold up a bit more than absol.

and tropical? don't think it blends on the strategy, either way or another (more now with sableye) the deck always needs to attack to function, and since the main goal is to force the opponent for a 2HKO, weakness turns a serious factor.

Droped Keldeo, added Virizion

also -2 DCE, +2 Blend GFPD

absol didn't worked that well, it depends much on the opponents set up and it's weak to lugia strikes (and other nasty stuff) so I keep yveltal line as it is

Another thing, tried the Sableye variant, and meh, it just doesn't feel right, what i did for him is to cut an yveltal non-ex, and well, if i don't get it turn one (or two) it doesn't make sense to have it, by turn 3 the deck always attack, and since the combo of dark patch + oblivion wing get's me all the discarded energy right away and so far haven't been in the need of a 4th max potion, the only late game thing to junk would be bands and claws (no lasser here)
