Standard Darkrai's Wish

Hey Beach Bums! Here's my Darkrai Dragonair list. It's come down to Earth a little bit, I'm 34-13 now and have had a couple of defeats to non-fighting decks, but it's pretty powerful. The key is to getting that turn 2 or 3 Dragon's Wish and then getting a boatload of energy during the next turn.

Word of warning - if your opponent plays Ranger in the turn after you play Dragon's Wish, you will not be able to attach multiple energy in the following turn. You'll have to Dragon's Wish again (if you can!).

I have seen this on a couple deck lists you are running. Why Lillie in such high counts? I like the card, but haven't found a reason to use it in such high counts.
 
I was hoping you had some numbers on her use lol! I like the card and as you know, I agree with you on N. I have thought this was a good alternative. I am going to incorporate the card more. Thanks!
 
Onto the actual deck. I think I would incorporate one more silent lab. T1 that can be absolutely devastating!

I also think an energy retrieval or two might make a lot of sense.
 
There are no Wally. You MUST have 4 Wally. You need to find space for that, I'd recommend taking out all Lillies for them. Also, DCE is useless with Darkrai-EX, there is no reason to play it. If your going to run DCE, try to run a coup,e of Yveltal-EX as well. It helps a ,out especially since it's easy to stack energy.
 
Hey rainyman yeah wally might not be a bad idea. Problem is it's hit and miss and stunts draw support early in the game... but it's worth a shot.

Not running DCE, I think maybe you misread.

FayID - agree I should probably try to squeeze one in. Maybe cut a letter, some games I think I have more energy in the discard than in the deck by the time I Wish.... Oh and thanks for the support on N. Sometimes people treat me like I have 3 heads when I comment that N hurts you more than it helps you. Lillie is definitely a better alternative than Birch, esp. in decks with a lot of Insta play cards.

I disagree 4 of a card just to get Dragonair out T1 is dumb I think 2 max, especially because I've won games without getting Dragonair out at all
 
Just tried 4 Wally and woo let me tell you I'm not sure exactly what I need to fix this deck but that ain't it. Went 1 - 7 in eight matches. Only played Wally once and it didn't make a difference as it was the only supporter card in my hand, it was turn 1 and I went first, and I had a Dragonair in hand as well.

I will say I'm a little perplexed at how this deck has completely swung to the negative after being so dominant (33-10 in first 43 matches).
 
Haha very funny suggestion Tanure:)... and to bring everyone else up to speed - I don't play N because I have tested it and my analysis shows that N hurts you more than it helps you.
