Total: 14

Grand Total 58 Cards

Strategy: In an ideal situation, Donphan would be out, and active by turn two and start spreading damage to the bench, while abusing Catcher to get rid of my opponents techs or attackers (whichever I feel is appropriate). Dragons for mid and late game. I feel that if I can get just a Kyurem with 3 energy on it, I can start spreading 30 damage with ease and continue this for several turns by spreading damage out. Every once in awhile I need to to use a Max Potion to heal and start again, and I prefer to use it while I have Kyurem out, and spreading damage. Then once that eventually dies out, (usually 2-3 turns) I will have 60-90 damage on each one of there pokemon, and the late game should be very easy after that, by putting out one last Donphan Prime. This should 1 hit everything at this point.

WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR:
- How to build consistancy among this deck - I feel that sometimes, it is hard to get a turn two donphan. Should I run Cleffa? Pichu?
- Should I adjust my trainer lines? - I would like to have trainers seem always readily available.
- Healing - I have 2 Max Potions; do I need more? Less? I would like to have at least one,
- Energy - I think the amount of Energy is just a tad short. Help me out here.

Suggestions? Please and Thanks!
 
The problem running Reuniclus now is it's quick and easy catcher bait. It can be 1 hit by quite a few things and 2 hit by most everything else in the format. Thats the reason vileplume has great synergy with it. Basically I'd check out google Cawthon's deck and change things up based on EP and upcoming sets (Kyurem). The deck he made is getting really popular and has every reason to be.
 
Yes I do. I'm struggling with the idea of running an exact copy of his deck because I don't actually want to do that but his deck is just too good in my eyes. Of course I will have some changes I'd like to make and some things I want to test/look into.
 
Run 4 catcher and drop Reuniclus. Add another Donphan and a cleffa, imo. Reuniclus just doesn't work without vileplume. I would play a Reshiram to threaten Kingdra.
 
Im going to have to agree with Brendan here, Reuniclus just isnt playable without Trainer Lock.

EDIT: googleBox is also very, very fun to play ;P
