Need help please, can barely make it thru a game without decking. Thanks for any help/insight you can give.
 
There's not too much here in this deck that screams decking out every game. The only noticeable thing I see is the Sage's Training. That Supporter card combined with Professor Juniper can really hurt through your deck number wise. All together that's 31 cards, which is quite a few considering you start the game with a minimum of 47. The only real advice I could give you to stop decking yourself is to cut the Sage's for more of the shuffle draw Supporters like another PONT and another N.

Sage's is honestly a bad card in Zekrom/Eels. Most of the time, you always have good cards to choose from and having to discard three is a pretty hefty cost. The deck needs all the resources it can get and most of the time, it only nets you max one Electric Energy. Once you play a few games without it, you honestly don't miss it because Juniper is the best discard and draw Supporter for the deck regardless.

dmaster out.
 
I think the two Smeargle are causing this, I run neither Cleffa or Smeargle in my Zekeels (it has a thread if you want to check it out), cut it to one and throw in a Super Rod.

-1 Smeargle

+1 Super Rod

That is all I have to say.
 
running 3 juniper and 2 sages is whats causeing it. You dont have any stage 2's so you could probably work without the sages. and i would also recommend taking out 1 juniper as well. with Juniper befing really popular at this point and with you running smeargle, if you need to juniper and you dont have one you could probably portrait for it. I would also take ut the Zekrom EX. Its to hard to set up fast and in a format where terrakion and groudon are runnimg loose, its an easy to prizes. With that said:

-2 Sages
-1 Juniper
-1 Zekrom EX

+1 Mewtwo EX
+1 Enhanced Hammer
+1 Double Colorless Energy
+1 thundurus

You have a better chance of starting with thundurus, your chances of winning the mewtwo battle is raised and you have better chances of disruption
 
Im going to have to agree about the Sages. After using both of them youve gone through 10 cards which is a sixth of your deck add in your starting hand/prizes, drawing for turn, and supporters (one important being juniper) youre going to deck out pretty quickly unless you have a lot of stuff to fill your deck back up from your discard (super rod) which you dont have. Id say take out the sages for 2 dual balls take out 2 of enhanced hammer/zekrom ex/thundurus/shaymin/smeargle for another draw supporter and a super rod

I don't want to create a war here, but three Juniper is a good amount, most Zekeel decks run four copies, the fact the athere is no Super Rod to bring cards back and two Smeargle is what's causing this.
