[DEX] Darkrai and friends (Sableye and Zoroark)

[ryter78]

I'm making a darkrai deck based off hammer time, but instead of hammers I use sableye to get my energy out fast and also to get my dark claws out.
I also included zorua(#69DEX) and zoroark (#71DEX) because I think zorua would be awesome in an opening hand with ascension as well as zoroark being able to combat pokemon that have some sort of protection against EXs.

Pokemon:12
-3x Darkrai EX
-3x Sableye #62 DEX
-2x Zoroark #71 DEX
-4x Zorua #69 DEX

Trainers:38
-4x Professor Juniper
-4x Dark Patch
-4x Darkclaw
-4x Energy switch
-4x N
-3x Ultra Ball
-3x Cilan
-2x Tool scrapper
-4x Switch
-2x Super rod
-4x Super Scoop Up

Energy:10
10x Darkness energy (anyone know where to find these inexpensively?)

This is the first time I've made a deck in a long time so any constructive criticism will be appreciated. I'm hoping for it to be some what competitive, Thanks!

For cheap basic dark energy, either buy them individually online or get the Shadows (6 but comes with zoruas/zoroarks) or Raiders (12 and comes with sableye and dark claws) theme decks.

-2 energy switch
-3 cilian
-3-4 switch
-4 super scoop up
None of those really work in this deck.
-1 Tool Scrapper
-1 Super Rod. You only need one if you have sableyes
-2 Juniper. She's good, but a card that is coming out in a few weeks is better
-2 basic dark. Dark patch lets you be able to run less of these.

+1-2 Zoroark. They're fairly fragile and you need to be able to stream them.
+4 Colress. [Shuffle your hand into your deck. Draw cards equal to the total number of benched pokemon (yours and your opponents)] Zoroark likes a full bench, Colress likes a full bench. Ergo, Zoroark likes Colress.
+2 Skyla. You can search your items to start using them with sableye
+3 Hypnotoxic Laser. [The defending pokemon is now poisoned. Flip a coin, if heads the defending pokemon is asleep.]
+2 Crushing Hammer.
+1 Enhanced Hammer. These work well in most decks with sableye.
+1 Computer Search. This is the strongest card you can run in a sableye deck.
+3 Double Colorless Energy. The main attack You're going to want to use with Zoroark is Brutal Bash, and that only costs two colorless.
+1 Mewtwo EX. If you run Double Colorless there is no reason to not run Mewtwo EX.

And I must end this with one note, this deck isn't going to be able to stand up well. People tried it when Dark Explorers came out, and it didn't catch on then, and now its prospects are even worse now that there is Landorus EX and Keldeo EX. Plus, it's generally not as good as straight Darkrai/Sableye.

Yikes I didn't do a very well job did I?
I forgot how soon the plasma set is coming out so it'll be a good idea looking at those cards ahead, thanks.
I guess I'll just make a straight up hammertime deck.
